DDS Of selection are very simple.
Every farmer who is growing ORR
should plant some standard variety
which he knows has been tested and
gives the most profitable yields in his
locality. and from this he should Sc
lect, each year, seed that near
est TO his ideal. 1t is necessary to
make this selection each year because
if it is not done the corn will soon
revert to the original type and lose
those qualities which the farmer has
been striving to get.
In your selections, instead of look
ing for an ideal a only, look for an
ideal stalk made up of an ideal stem,
Of ideal foliage and of an ideal root
system bearing an ideal ear or ears
covered with ideal husks, and support
ed by an ideal shank. Possibly this
will be hard to find; but you can find
something which approaches il and
from this, with your ideal in view, you
can select continuously until you have
a plant very nearly approaching that
ideal.

largely in American and German
hands. Another important agricultural
product is cocoa. 1t IS grown chiefly
in the south along the Pacific coast.
Sugar is also widely cultivated. To-
bacco is also grown; the leaf is good,
but as it is not well cured it is not eX-

finds a profitable export If. bananas,
which are grown in large quantities,
especially neal Bluefields on the Gulf

AS to timber, the Nicaraguan forests
contain splendid mahogany and cedar
trees, the wood from which is largely
exported. The forests also contain
many valuable dye woods, gums and
medicinal plants. Rubber is also
grown there.
AS to mining, the gold mines are
very important and are worked by
American and British companies. The
gold export averages a million dollars
a year.
Nicaragua trades with the outside

AnecdOtaI.

Menelaus was king of ancient Laco-
MIA, and being such, he deemed it only
his duty to be as laconic as possible,
so, in a manner of speaking, TO set the
pace for the people.
Now, his wife was none other than
the beautiful Helen. and, of course,
the day came at last when she wanted
a new hat. Could she have it?
NO" replied Menelaus.
Just because no is a letter shorter
than 'yes!'" protested Helen, and
burst into tears, and at the first chance
ran away with Paris.-Puck.

1t would add to the revenue Of many
farms if a flock Of sheep were kept.
Besides being profitable they are great
weed eaters. They will eat five out
of six Of our known weeds, where a
COW or horse will eat only one out Of
every six.
Range-bred sheep are the right kind
will be graded Merinos and if they
carry a cross of Shropshire, Lincoln
and other mutton blood. so much the
better. 1t would not be advisable to
buy Mexican sheep or low grade sheep
of any other kind.
The ewes purchased for the founda-
ton flock should be good, large ami
mails from one to four years old, and
weighing more than 100 pounds.
Where possible it would seldom be
practical to start with less than 80
ewes, and a larger number would be
better still. A flock of a dozen would
require almost as much care as so or
100. These ~range-bred grade Merinos
should be bred to q Dorset ram if
possible.
The reason we recommend buying
range-bred grade Merino ewes is that
thousands of these are available,
while Dorests are not to be had in
large numbers.
These fall or early winter lambs,
by good feeding and care can be made
when they will find a ready market
and will always be IN demand. Such
lambs should bring from S. upward.

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for its food.
AS it floats underneath the surface of
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. Its leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filled
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is a cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on it. A small worm
or a small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.

Cow and Soil Fertility.

The fertility Of the soil can best be
maintained by the liberal use of barn
yard manure, and the dairy herd not
only makes this possible, but dairying
is also more remunerative than almost
any other branch of farming when 1t
is properly carried on.
