\ GREAT DAIRY COW.

Missouri Chief Josephine, has
broken the record in her native state
as a milk producer. At four years
of age she produced 92.7 pounds OF
milk in one day. or the equal Of forty
seven quarts. At the Missouri State
I'a rlast fall, she was placed in a
prettily decorated booth, with forty
seven quart bottles filled with. milk,
representing her days production, ar
ranged in pyramidal form above her
Her years record is 15,474 pounds Of
milk. This is equal TO 1,710 quarts
Of milk.
On this number Of quarts twenty
one babies could subsist and thrive
for one year. Made into butter il

LIME IN OYSTER SHELLS.

The oyster she'll theory is fact.
One pound of shells contains sufficient
lime to manufacture about seven doz-
ems Of eggs The only proper way to
feed then, is to have a small box
within reach SO the fowls can help
themselves at will. Mixing the shells
in the morning mash is a risky job,
as a fowl is apt to thus consume
more than she will need, and the
shells Of the egg become too hard.

That the Yield Can Be Greatly Increased by Proper
Selection of Seed Has Been Fully Demonstrated

Far would not meet any Of the
requirements Of the score card ex-
cept in length: it was not a show
ear, yet it was the best yieider Of
the three, producing at the rate Of 132
bushels per acre, while the other two
yielded respectively SO and 1135
bushels per acre.
Ear 81, while a good locker and one
that any person would choose for seed
if he were picking the ears from the
crib, proved to be very weak grow
er throwout the whole season.
AT huskins time the stalks IN this
row were from Is to a inches <n\'t-
er than the stalks in the adjoining
rows.
Ear 1, while a fraction heavier
than S4, was strong grower and a
good yielder, SO we cannot say that
all big ears are poor seed ears.
Then we must not conclude from
the big yield OF ear that we should
pick only 15-ounce ears for seed, for
ear Is of the second plot weighing
a little less than Is ounces, yielded
only 80 bushels per acre. Ear p
weighed only a fraction over Il
ounces, but made q yield Of 11e.7
bushels to the acre.
This row came the nearest to an
ideal-groWing row Of any that l ever
saw. Almost every stalk in it grew
as straight as a plumb line: the leaves
We're broad and a very dark green, it
was a remarkably strong grower.
So we are forced to the conclusion
that the size Of the seed ear, or the
looks Of the ear, or the shape Of the
ear, has but very little to do with
the yield Of the corn. But this fact
must not deter us from picking good
looking ears, for some Of them are
splendid yielders.
We must get down to the bottom
Of the trouble, and that is tise breed
ing of seed corn.
The seed for one plot was taken
from a field that yielded possibly 60
bushels per acre. The acre plot yield
ed SO bushels of weighed corn.
| The second year, the plot was
! of the year before which averaged 80
bushels per acre, and the acre plot
that year yielded 102 bushels.
| Now [ have seed ears with a still
! higher average yield with which to
| plant the plot the coming season.
There were twelve rows in the second
! year that averaged above 110 bushels,
! and % rows that were above 100
| bushels. In the year previous there
were but two rows that averaged
above 100 bushels.
Is this not sufficient proof that the
yield can be increased by the proper
selection Of seed?
If we could eliminate the ears that
grow the nubbins and plant in their
! place good ears, we would thereby
increase the yield That is true in
! much greater measure than We have
suspected You have only to grow a
seed plot and plant each row from a
! single ear to find out how true that is

When farmers pick their seed corn
from the crib or wagon box each ear
is chosen because Of its good looks

That is the poorest way to select
seed corn, simply because the farmer
knows absolutely nothing about the
ears. except that they may be good

lie knows nothing about their
power to produce good yield, and
no more about their ability to trans
nit their good looks to their Off

Both are necessary features in good

grow good looking ears.
The farmer who selects his seed
from the field while the corn is still
