short, thick and stubby, and also the
long tapering kind Avoid white corn
with red cob also. Such corn is
not pure bred. Another point is the
number of rows of grains. There
should not be fewer than sixteen nor
more than twenty-five. A good plan
to follow in selection is to pick ont
a few ears that come up to these sne-
citications by measurement. Then
study them. Then go into the field
with sack or basket and pick ont
ears that are as nearly like them as
you can. Select your corn from
good stalks, that are large and uni
form, and not too high-stalks of
medium height, with the ear growing
at a convenient height to gather.
Gather plenty of it-several times
what you will need to do your plant
ing. Then this winter you can on
rainy days go over and select the
best, and sell or trade the balance to
your neighbors at a good price, and
save some for replanting. Place
your seed corn in dry place, on
shelves, or string it and hang it to
the rafters where the mice cannot get
to it. During the winter test it and
see how much will come up when
planted. Take strip of domestic
and mark it off in squares of to 10
inches. Take three to five grains out
of each ear, some from near the ends
and some from the middle, from diff
ferent rows. Number each square on
the cloth, and tag the ears with a
number also. Then place the grains
from the numbered ears on the cor
responding squares on the cloth. Lay
another cloth on top of it and sprin-
kle with warm water until it is wet
Then carefully fold it up so as not
to move the grains out of place.
Wrap the whole in an old sack or
piece of quilt and put in warm water
Then lay it away where it will keep
warm, or at about 60 degrees. If it
dries out moisten again in about three
days. After about six days the seeds
will terminate or sprout. Make an
examination. Throw out the ears
that do not have the terminating
grains with healthy roots. If an ear
shows more than two grains that do
not sprout under this system, do not
use it for seed If you do, you will
get a poor stand. Shell your seed
corn by hand in the early spring, and
do not use the grains from either
end, but confine yourself to grains of
uniform size. This will enable your
planters to work well, and give you a
better stand of better corn.
For organic matter break your land
this fall if you can and turn under the
pea stubble, weeds, grass and corn
stalks. The more vegetable matter
you turn under, the more organic mat
ter. Plow deep, and subsoil if you
like.

individuals and make them more ia
vorable subjects for infections of the
respiratory spasages, including pneu-
monia and tuberculosis.
Good roads prevent disease by set
ting an example to adjoining farm
premises. Good roads promote travel
and set an example to farmers whose
premises are bordered by them. The
comparison of a well-graded, clean
highway with an unkept and trashy
stimulate every landowner to clean
up. Pride compels him to offer to
passers-by a neat-appearing and at
tractive house and barnyard. Re-
suits are only too obvious. Good
roads are active disease prevention
agencies, aside from their financial
and commercial value.

1t will be apparent to those who have
had legislative service, that unless
some check of the nature proposed be
made, the increase of revenue will be
of no avail in preventing the financial
embarrassment of the State. Under
the enthusiasm of the moment one
appropriation bill may exhaust it.
However, l deem it wise to call tc
your attention an appropriate source
of enlarged revenue, without placing
upon the people an unfair burden.
More than four-fifths of the States
of the Union derive revenue from what
is known as an inheritance tax
Practically every nation of the world
regards this source of income as fair
and easily paid. BY inquiry from citi.
zens of States where it is in force, ]
am informed that this tax is the sub.
ject of least complaint.
1t may be well to suggest for your
consideration the Constitutional pro.
vision OF uniformity In the imposition
of taxes. Eminent lawyers have given

exemption based on amount can be
granted, nor can the taxes be In
