SECURING THE SEED CORN.

The proper time to agitate the seed corn question is now-in September when the seed ears can be gathered from the ripening fields, and not next March, when the seed will be good, bad or indifferent, as the case may be, and when it will be too late to do any thing to better it's condition. Profes- sor Holden, the great corn specialist, decided some three years ago that 1t would be we'll if farmers all through the northern part of the corn belt would set aside Oct. 15 as ''seed corn day" and devote it to picking the seed supply for the coming year. In aver age seasons this date would be early enough, but last fall a freeze came be- tween the 11th and 18th of October, which caught much of the crop full of dampness and absolutely ruined 1t for seed purposes; hence it would seem wise to set the date two or three weeks earlier, say Sept. 25. It is a good idea to go into the best part of the field with sack and pick from thrifty stalks with low growing ears a supply of seed which both in shape and size of ear and type of kernel is best adapted to the latitude in which 1t Is to be raised Selected at this time, it is an easy matter to pick out early maturing seed by selecting ears which are ripest and most mature at the time. When a sufficient quantity has been picked and put in. conven- lent place the husks should be pulled back and the pile still further sorted and the manifestly poor or defective ears discarded The remaining ears should then be hung in dry, we'll ventilated place, preferably on the sunny side of things, and here allowed to cure thoroughly. When this has been effected the seed should be placed for permanent keeping in a dry store
 room where it cannot possibly gather dampness and where the mice cannot get at it. The most important point to keep in mind is that the seed ears should not be subjected to a severe freezing temperature before they are thoroughly dry and that they should be stored in some place where they will keep perfectly dry from fall until spring. Often ears will dry properly if left on the stalk and picked at husk- Ing time, but as often they will not, and herein lies the risk taken by the many who in the past, at least, have followed the slipshod method of pick Ink seed ears at husking time. Seed corn should be picked from the field by Oct. 1, and day-two if necessary should be given over unreservedly to the doing of this highly important work.

A COW AND AN AUTOMOBILE.

Unless he is fool and mortgages his homestead to do 1t neither Wall street speculators nor bankers need lose much sleep over the farmer who invests in moderate priced automo- bile for his own and bis family's en- joyment Many an auto is bought as a result of the exercise of good sense and Judgment. as was the case of a Mississippi valley farmer whom the papers told about the other day. Six years ago he bought four head of Eolstein cattle, paying $500 for them. As might have been expected. his conservative, shortsighted neighbo.s thought he was a fool, but such did not prove to be the case. Since the time of the lpurc hasa the milk and off, spring of one COW have netted the own CT $1 1850, and the other day he had a picture taken of himself in the auto and beside it the COW that had made the purchase of the machine possible. The item went on to state that his herd of full blooded Holsteins now comprises forty head, one COW having | record of eighty and a half pounds of milk day and several giv- ing from seventy-five to eighty pounds daily. If this man cashed up he could likely buy an auto for each of his kids and have money in the bank.

FRANCE TOO FULL OF ORDERS
Government Shuts Down on Wholesale
 Ribbon Wearing.

In order to uphold the dignity of the legion of honor NJ. Briand. the French premier, has found it necessary to is- sue a strict injunction against the many individuals who consider their toilet incomplete without the adorn- ment of a piece of ribbon in the but tonhole of their coat lapel.
 In France the Society for the Pro motion of Virtue bestows a black and green ribbon; the Last Farewell Life Saving society, black and red; the Ma tional Humane society, red, white and blue; the Society of the Public Veal, blue and green; the Dispensary of Boyer blue and red; the Pantin Help society. violet with red edge; the Hu- manitarian league. red edged with blue; the Polytechnic Life Saving so- ciety. red and white, and a score or more of other bodies give ribbons of many colors.
 M. Briand. backed by NJ. Lepine, pro- claims the wearing of any of these col ors to be illegal, although some au- thorities are doubtful if the premier and the chief of police could quote any law in support of their action.

ABOUT PEANUTS.

The lowly peanut, often used in ex pressions of belittlement, last year constituted a crop whose value to the grower was placed at $1,000,O0O and which, placed on the market in its various forms, is said to have been worth $37,OO0,000. The peanut, which is a native of this country, belongs to the family of soil enrichers or legumes and is considered the most nutritious of all the nut family. The nuts average $50 to pound at cost of 10 cents per pound, the edible portion being 73.G per cent and the waste 26.4 per cent, the fat forming per cent of the edible portion being placed at 80 While the major portion of the crop of nuts finds its way to the. peanut stand to be there retailed at cents ~the sack, thousands Of bushels are used in the south in the fattening of hogs and feeding of poultry, while the vines are often cur ed and used for hay. The bulk-fve sixths-of the peanut crop comes from Virginia, the balance being grown in Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia and the Carolinas.

A fine white elm shade tree which the writer frequently passes has come to grief owing to the fact that years ago, when the head of the tree was forming, care was not taken to pre- vent large limbs growing up and out from the same point in the trunk. In the case in question three were al lowed to do so. A couple of years ago one of the three large branches was blown from the top in heavy wind, and short time since big split ap- peared between the two remaining sections of the top. One of these is sure to come down soon, leaving but a skeleton of what gave promise of being 8 shade tree of remarkable beauty and symmetry. The trouble might have been prevented when the tree was first set by so pruning it as to give sturdy and well jointed frame. The same principle holds in the case of fruit trees, and poor heads having weak joints should be remedied while :he tree is young.

Probably the most expensive ciga- rette ever smoked was the one lit by a member of one of Uncle Sam's forest surveying parties in a heavily tim bered western state and carelessly
 thrown into bank of dry ferns. It is estimated that $2,O0OO0O worth of gov ernment and private timber was de- stroyed and several lives lost before this particular smoke was conclud- ed. It is easy to suggest how the milk might have been kept from spilling, but the good horse sense of the super intendents of such surveying parties ought to suggest the same precaution with reference to the use of cigarettes in timber-dry forests as would be ex- ercised by those employed in and about gunpowder factories and maga- zines.

In the transference of real estate the question frequently arises whether buyer or seller is liable for taxes fall ing due on or about the time of the transfer. Taxes due and payable prior to time of sale constitute an incum- brance on the property and must be paid before clear title can be given. Taxes collectible after sale must be paid by the purchaser unless there is specific agreement to the contrary, as the land is always liable for the taxes, and the one who holds title is there fore accountable.

In time this kind will die off and others more alert will take their places.

A pamphlet recently issued by the forest service recognizes three types
 of forest fires-namely, surface, ground and crown fires. The surface lire burns the surface layer of leaves, dry grass, brush and small trees; the ground fire burns the deep accumulation of vege- table mold, while the crown fires ac- company the surface fires and burn the crowns of the trees. The surface fires, which are most common, Kill seedlings and young trees, but often do not destroy the larger trees. Ground fires occur only when the leaf mold has become very dry, are hard to ex- tinguish-often burning all winter un- der the snow-and usually destroy all trees, even killing the tissues of the roots. Crown fires usually occur only when surface fires are accompanied by a high wind.

A poultryman whom we ran across rhe other day got his hens to change their minds and start laying by sub stituting a ration of bran for the corn and wheat which he had been feeding and adding a small allowance of tank age. The ration was further supple mented by giving the hens the fresh grass cuttings from the lawn. The hens got busy with their change of food and have been busy since.

At the close of a summer season in which there has been the heaviest timber loss on record as a result of forest fires interest will naturally at !ach to a bulletin recently put out by ;he forest service on this subject. In t is recited the fact that as a result of the rapidly increasing value of lum- per and forests private owners. lum- per companies and state and federal forest experts are cooperating for a more effective protection of the forest wealth of the country. The fire fight ng campaign includes a thorough pa
 rol system, organized fire fighting squads, together with tools and equip ment at accessible points, by constant
 y warning the public against the cE%e- less use of fire and other means which are practicable. The pamphlet joints out that one of the chief sourc es if weakness in the present system lies in the pitifully inadequate num- ger of forest guards, shown in the statement that in the United States d single patrolman often has the re-
 sponsibility of guarding 100000 acres where he should not have more than 10000. In this connection it is point d out that in Prussian forest reserves here is guard for every 1.700 acres.

In view of the quite general scarcity of hay an extra amount of corn fod- der should be cut to make good the shortage. It goes without saying that the silo is the ideal means of storage for the corn plant, but where provision has not been made for this the next best thing is to cut the corn when the husks have begun to turn yellow and the kernels are we'll dented and put them in large water tight shocks. double tied Of the dry cured rough ages on the farm there is none. barring alfalfa or clover hay, that is eaten with greater relish than bright, well cured corn fodder. The slovenly way in which it has been handled in many sections in the past has constituted a mighty big leak in the farm manage ment. It is high time the hole respon- sible for it was being plugged up, and no time would seem to be more appro- priate than this present fall. when hay of all kinds is scarce and high priced
 The unusually fine grade of wheat which has been grown this year in sections where little of the cereal has been produced in years past should not induce a too extensive sowing of wheat for next year. Over much of the north half of the corn belt un- usually dry and favorable conditions have prevailed this season-conditions that might not be duplicated again in a dozen years. The putting in of a reasonable acreage would seem to be wise. It would mean satisfactory re- turns under favorable conditions and a loss that would not be overwhelming if the conditions should not prove fla vorable.

Perhaps the most unique method ever adopted for blowing or stirring the soil has lately been given expert mental test in Kansas and by a plant CT near Spartanburg, s. c. It consist ed in drilling rows of holes in the soil three feet apart to the depth of four feet and in these holes placing dyna- mite cartridges with fuses attached. When all cartridges were set the fuses were ignited by a line of men provided with redhot irons. They passed rapidly down the field, the ex- plosion occurring in steady roar that was deafening and throwing clouds of soil and earth into the air to the height of thirty feet, the men being showered with it as 1t settled. This method of blowing was employed to break up a hard and resistant subsoll and did the job in fine shape.

The fastest mile ever made by trotting horse was covered the other day in 1:58% by Uhlan, horse be- longing to 0. G. K. Billings, the well known turfman, and the easy way in which the mile was made led many who witnessed the remarkable per formance to believe that the same horse may clip another second or more off this record before the season is over. It has been intensely interest ing to note the gradual lowering of the trotting record from the time when the best performance was around 2:59, some ninety years ago, to the present season, when a horse covers a mile track without wind shield at rate of more than thirty miles an hour. That the record will be still further lowered Is not doubted, but 1t will be by quar- ters and eighths of seconds only.

It is now pretty generally conceded that dog going from a hogpen or feed lot where there is hog cholera may carry the germs to nearby farms. In the same way the cholera germs may be transported on the boots of owners or hired help who may have the care of the hogs. Whatever else may be said of hog cholera, it is estab- lished beyond question that 1t is highly contagious germ disease and that to eradicate it or prevent its spread the same general methods should be employed as health officers employ in the case of smallpox, diph- therfa and scarlet fever-isolation, quarantining and disinfection.
