qulres high protein soil to produce
high protein corn, while larger yields
OF low protein corn may be produced
on soil deficient in fertility. On the
other hand, alfalfa or clover is a
cheap protein feed, since the crop
takes the nitrogen, the principal con-
stituent of protein, largely or wholly
from the air, and, in fact, the nitrogen
supply Of the soil may be actually in
creased by growing alfalfa or clover.
which makes it far more desirable
than corn as crop to furnish protein
for feeding live stock
1t is therefore much more important
to select for a large germ in seed
corn than for large proportion of
the f1inty part of the kernel. 1t costs
the farmer no more to grow high oil
corn than low oil corn, since the oil
is composed Of oxygen, hydrogen and
carbon elements, which are supplied
wholly from the air and from the wa
ter used by the growing plant; thus
the production of more fat in corn
makes no added drain upon the soil
fertility. Likewise, large germ In
the seed kernel portends strong VIZ
tality, a good stand and a large crop

AS cut leather is one of the popu-
tar crafts Of the season, we are Civ
ing table mat design. The work is
not difficult and the results are artis-
tic and pleasing.
The first step is to make a whole
pattern on manila paper. One-quarter
of the pattern is given. The easiest
way to do this is to blacken the back
OF the pattern cut from the page,
using very soft pencil. Lay the pat
tern on the manila paper and go over
all the lines of the design very care
fully. Be sure to keep the sweep of
the black leaves all going in one di-
rection, that is, one following the 9TH
er right around on each quarter.
Next lay a piece of carbon paper,
black side down, on the right side of
the leather and the design on top.
Fasten down with thumb tacks, being
careful to place them outside the cir
Gle. Otherwise there would be hole
N the mat
They should be placed on a hard
board. With sharp pencil go over
all lines. Remove the paper and 20

that all parts may be perfectly dis

Often the wooden sills and posts of
barns and other farm buildings be-
come rotten and the foundations of
stone and brick decay and crumble.
This condition frequently exists in
buildings which, with this exception.
are in fair state of preservation and
well worth saving. Concrete is the
only material that can be satisfactor-
tly substituted for the decayed sills
and crumbling foundations.
II the foundation is in bad shape,
1t may be necessary to remove and
replace it with concrete, or possibly
1t can be left in position and boxed

of the foundation which Is below

BREEDING CORN
in HIGH FEEDING
Ears Should Be Selected with
Kernels Containing gLar9eGerrns
and Considerable Hard Mat
ter at Edges.

The chemists find by analyses of
the substances composing the differ
ent parts of the kernel that the germ
contains large part of the fat or oil
in the kernel and a considerable pro-
portion of the protein. The white,
houry part is largely starch and the
part least valuable for feeding. The
hard, clear, fiinty portion of the ker-
mel is also largely starch and con-
tains little fat, but contains a larger
percentage of protein than the f1oury
part. 1t is important, therefore, in
breeding corn for higher feeding value
to select ears for seed which have
kernels with large germs and a con-
siderable amount of the hard, clear
matter at the edges and back of the
kernels, and a relatively small pro-
portion of the white, starchy portion
which occupies the crown of the ker-
mel and surrounds the germ.
The protein is very necessary and a
valuable part of the feeding ration,
yet it is doubtless much cheaper to
apply it in alfalfa or clover than in
corn. Also, there may be a tendency
to make corn harder and less desir-
able for feeding whole to stock if the
seed is selected too closely for a
large proportion of the hard, clear,
f1inty part in the kernel Millers have
Informed the writer that hard corn
makes the best quality of corn meal
