The record for fasting, so far as hue

Granie. French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death,
and from the day Of his arrest refused
to eat. In spite Of every effort on the
part of his warders, who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals In his cell, and
when that failed, attempted feeding
him by force, he held out for 63 days,
at the end Of which time he died. Up
to then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished by
Giovanni Succi. who tasted at the

An essential of uVAtIble farming
little appreciated in this part by the
general farmer is the development OF
strains of seed corn we'll adapted to
local conditions. Heretofore the corn
grower has not practised rigid selec-
ton to find the variety best suited to
his environment. He has not appre'
ciated that he could introduce into his
locality grades of corn which have
proved successful in other states and
then acclimate this corn to his local
conditions thereby gaining greater
yields.
1t is a relatively simple matter
where a standard variety is grown 10

els per acre resulted from use of the

&c bushels attended the use CT the

Begin by Selection.
In the attempt to eliminate all poor
ears the best plan in the case of
cured corn is to lay out all the ears
in rows on the floor A best ear
should be selected as an ideal so that
in going over and sorting the corn the
ears corresponding most closely to the
ideal will be selected All others
which do not correspond to the ideal
in size, shape, color, uniformity of
kernels and quality should be discard
ed. Then a second sorting should be
made to remove ears whose kennels
do not Immediately coincide with the
IDEAL Kernels.
In general the characteristics most
desired in ears of seed corn are good
size, regular rows of uniform kernels.
well filled out at the butt and tip,
deep and closely fitted on a well
shaped moderate sized cob. All ears
having defects and undesirable feat
ures should be rejected.
The selection Of seed corn from the
general field crop is usually attended
by poor success. A special seed plot
Is essential where field selection is
practiced. The advantages of this
system are that there are better
chances of fertilization; the plot IS
isolated from other corn fields pre-
Guiding crossings by undesirable
