 conditions. Seed corn that is not thoroughly dry before cold weather, will in the northern climates, freeze, which will cause the kernel 10 expand. thus injuring the germ or little plant, lowering it's vitality and often destroy ing it. so the kernel will not germi- nate.
 Few farmers save enough seed corn. One bushel of shelled corn will plant from seven to eight acres. One hun dred to one hundred and twenty se- leeted ears will make a bushel of shelled corn. At this rate 1t will take from twelve to fifteen ears to plant one acre It should be remembered, however, that the first selection Is not always perfect; and oftentimes upon second selection and germina- tion test, half of the first selection will be thrown out. Thus it is seen that there should always be selected in the fall at least twice as much seed as the farmer expects to plant There is little danger of getting too much seed corn. Any surplus, if the seed is good, can usually be sold at fair price.
 In case one has no special seed plot" in which his best and earliest maturing ears were planted, it is then necessary that his seed be selected from the field. The most practical method to do this is to go through the field with a sack tied across ones shoulder and select the choicest and best matured ears. Two rows of corn may easily be examined at once. Dur ing the process of selection, consider ation of the strength and character Of the stalk, the height of the ear from the ground, and the size of the shank should be noted.
 A stalk does not necessarily have to be large to be a big producer A tall spindling plant lodges very cas- ilv. The stalk should be of good size and strong at the base, gradually tap ering, and not necessarily tall. Strong' vigorous stalks of medium height usually produce the best and earliest matured ears. The ear should be aI- taehed to the stalk by medium-sizea shank, which is long enough to allow the tip of the ear 10 hang down.
 All ears in a cornfield will not ma ture at the same time. 4 variation or fifteen days in maturing of ears ID a | field is not uncommon. One oi tn7 reasons why good selection Of corn ] cannot be made from the shock or from the field late in the fall is thae 1 one is unable to tell the time the ear matured.

EMINENT DOMAIN
 RIGHT IS DENIED
Clause In Charter Is Declared Unconstitutional
BEACH WRITES DECISION
Supreme Court Acts in Case of Con- necticut College for Women-Can- not Justify Condemnation of Prop
 erty for Private Use.
Especial Hartford Correspondence)

Special Hartford Correspondenee.)
 Hartford.-The Supreme Court of Errors handed down a decision de- elaring unconstitutional a clause in the charter of the Connecticut Col lege for Women, located at New Lon don, which gives the institution the right of eminent domain to acquire property.
 The charter was granted by the general assembly of two years ago, and was approved by Gov. Simeon B. Baldwin, a former chief justice of the Supreme Court. It is said that the Governor made the final draft of the clause in the charter himself. By a coincidence. the decision declaring the clause unconstitutional was writ ten by Justice l. K Beach, of New Haven. who was recently elevated to the Supreme Bench of the State by Governor Baldwin.
 The case was that of Jeremiah C.. Calvert. of New London Ys, The Con neeticut College for Women. The col leee sought to secure certain lands owned by Mir Calvert, but the parties failed to agree. Thereupon the col lege sought to make use of the clause in it's charter giving it the right of eminent domain.
 The case was taken to the Superior Court, where Judge Case rendered a decision sustaining MT. Calvert. Up- on sustaining the demurrer, the case was taken to the Supreme Court of Errors.
 Judge Beach's decision is a lengthy one, covering nineteen pages. He | says that the constitutional question raised is whether it is possible to con- demn private property for public use; i and as to- whether the acquisition of sthe land by college would constitute use for the public generally. He holds | that the clause is unconstitutional | He says;-
 No definition of public use for the purpose of eminent domain can be large enough to include any private use and however elastic and indefi nite the term public use" may be il Is certain that no additional or novel application of the power of eminent domain can justify the taking of prop erty for private use"

SEED SELECTED EARLY
Farmer May Be Reasonably Sure
 of Corn Stand Next Year.
Consideration of Strength and Char. scter Of Corn Stalk, Height of Ear From Ground and Size of
 Shank Should Be Noted.
By C. P BULL1

One of the main reasons why seed corn should be selected early is to be reasonably sure it will grow the fol- lowing year when planted Early se- lected seed corn is the corn that usu- ally gives the best stand Without a good stand it is impossible to get a maximum yield, and it costs no more to raise field of corn with a perfect stand than it does to raise a field with a 60 to 70 per cent. stand.
 Every good kernel of seed corn has in it live, though very small, corn plant. This plant is tender and easily injured, unless kept under favorable
