behind him on the mule, NJ. c. Gate
wood, of Lexington, returned Sun
day from Plank, small town twelve

Heartburn, Gas and Indigestion Go
Five Minutes After Taking Pape's
Diapepsin

As there is often some one ID
YOUR family who srEers an attack OF
indigestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightly discomfort, and overcome
a sour, gassy Stomach in five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula, plainly printed on
these 50-cent cases Of Pape's Dia-
pepsin, then you will readily see why
it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
Heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-
tions of sour undigested food, Nau-

Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dy-

with the common, everyday cures
advertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Ca
tarrh Of the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mis-
take. Your real trouble is, what you
eat does not digest; instead, it fer

The first month after it has been
picked is the most critical time In tho
handling of seed-corn. As It contains
a large amount of moisture al that
time, 1t must be stored in a dry. well
ventilated place, and in such a way
that each ear will be exposed to a free
circulation Of air. Seed-corn should
always be stored in the ear, but never
in barrels, boxes, or sacks, or above
large quantities of grain.
There are many ways of preserving
seed-corn, as by striking the butts on
sharp nails driven through board.
tying ears together in pairs and hang.
ing them over a wire, or, by laying
them on racks. Any method that will
provide a free circulation of air is de-
sirable.
The corn should be thoroughly
dried and protected throughout the
winter from all sudden or extreme
changes Of temperature or humidity.
1t must never be allowed to freeze be-
fore 1t is thoroughly dry. as its fer
tility will be affected.
Probably the best place to store

In growing corn for seed the farmer
must first find the variety best adapt
ed to his needs and then work to
bring 1t as near perfection as possible
1t is always best to select the varieties
grown on soil and in the climate
where the seed is TO be improved, be-
cause the corn plant is peculiarly SEN
sitive to its surroundings.
Corn that grows we'll on certain
soils will often, II transplanted to 9TH
er soils prove failure, and the re-
verse is true. That is to say, corn
which shows up badly on certain soils.
may develop to perfection on other
soils that are rightly adapted to its
needs.
This is a very important factor In
the selection of seed, and the breeder
should never go far from home for his
seed IL he can possibly obtain good
corn that has been grown on soil and
in the climate in which he expects to
conduct his breeding operation.
il he must send away for his seed,
however, he should select 1t from that
locality which nearest approaches his
own, both as to soil and climate.
A great deal Of poor seed-corn re-
suits from a lack OF care in the har-
vesting and storing. 1t should be al.
lowed to mature thoroughly before be-
ing picked, as immature corn does
not obtain all the plant-food intended
for it, consequently its vitality is
weakened.
Immature corn is hard to keep, as II
Is liable to sprout and unless there Is
good circulation OF air 1t will become
heated and moldy. Seed-corn should
always be selected from the field and
never from the load at the crib.
Selecting seed at the time of gener-
al harvest is Objectionable. because
many times the work is done late in
the season and in a hurry, and the
care OF seed-corn is apt to be neglect
ed.
The stalks from which seed-enrs are
selected should be of medium size,
strong at the base, tapering gradually
to the tassel, and should have large
acknowledgment as the leaf is the
laboratory Of the plant. The stalk
should also stand erect and be free
from smut or insect attack.
Never select from stalks with suck
ers. Ears. to be Of good size and quail
ity, should have straight rows OF reg
ularly-sized kernels and which more
nearly represent the type desired.
These ears should be at convenient
height OF AZ to feet on the stalks,
and should be attached to the stalk
by a shank medium in length and
strength.
The ear when matured should break
over and hang from the tip downward.
Ears In an upright position are objec-
tionable because they are more or less
subjected to the rains and hot sun,
which injure the vitality.
Some experiments show that seed
from ears high on the stalk and in an
upright position, yield almost 10 bush
els less, per acre, than seed from ears
hanging in the natural position.

in an upright position, when planted,

ent ways, the attic proved to be the
best place.
The next best place is in cellar
where the furnace is placed The
average cellar is too damp and the
corn never dries out thoroughly.
Seed-corn hung up on wires or
strings under an open shed or in
dry barn, keeps fairly well. but even
there, experience shows that much
seed-corn is either killed or weakened
because the seed gathered moisture
during warm, damp spells. and then
was injured by cold weather which
froze 1t later.
Sometimes corn will sprout all right
In the spring, but that is no sign that
1t has a vitality 10 grow well. Much
OF 1t may have been so weakened that
II the season is cold, or the seed Is
planted too deep, 1t will only give
weak stalks, and never attain It's
proper growth or vigor.
In selecting seed-corn 1t is import
ant that more is involved than merely
looking at the ears. The kernels must
be studied. BY Smelling OFF portion
OF the ear from tip to butt a perfect
ear will show the kernels close To-
gether where they are Joined to me
