HOW TO SELECT CORN EAhS
Difficult : to = Distinguish Between
Breeds Of Same Color-Each Va.
riety Has Characteristic Shape.

The first point In judging a sample
of corn Is to determine its trueness to
the type or breed characteristics.
There are breeds Of corn, like breeds
Of cattle which have peculiar colors
or forms which distinguish them. It
is difficult to distinguish between
breeds of corn Of the same color, but
this may be learned by experience In
handling corn of various breeds. In
pure corn of any breed there are cer-
tain marks which may be easily rec
ognized. +.
Take the shape of the ear, for ex-
ample. The ideal ear is cylindrical,
not too crooked or too tapering.. 1t is
as difficult to find an ear of corn per-
feet in shape as 1t is to find cows,
horses and sheep with perfect forms.
The shape Of ears of the different
varieties of corn differ as widely as
the shape and form Of the different
pure breeds of cattle. Each class and
variety has characteristic shape Pc
culiar to itself. The most desirably
shaped ear Is cylindrical from butt to
tip. Where ears are inclined to taper,
1t will be noticed that two or four
rows, as rule, are dropped near the
middle of the ear. In judging the
corn ear, take into consideration the
soil and climatic conditions in which

.Mending Corsets.

Often corsets, otherwise in good
condition, will break at the hips. To
make them as good as new, cut strips
of featherbone about four inches long,
finishing the ends the same as for col
lars, and stitch these over the broken
steels. When a large steel is broken,
double the featherbone to make il
more durable.

the bedding fresh and dry. Pens
should be cleaned out often and kept
free from filth. Disinfectants and
land plaster should be used in the
pens daily. At birth the sharp teeth
of each pig should be carefully nipped
off with sharp pinchers, but more
harm than good may follow If the
gums are cut or bruised during the
operation. Treat the cankers by
scraping each ulcer thoroughly and
rubbing it lightly with lunar caus-
tic pencil. Afterward swab the az
fected parts twice daily with a five
per cent. solution of permanganate of
potash.

perhaps be surprised 10 know that yawn-
ing is even beneficial to your hearing.
The cracking sound which you so often
hear when giving an extra big yawn Is
due to the stretching and opening of the
