STORE SEED CORN PROPERLY
Three Things to Remember-Dry
Place, Fairly Low Temperature
and Well Ventilated Room.
(By H. c. HACKLEMAN. Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.)

(By H. c. HACKLEMAN, Missouri Col
lege OF Agriculture.)
In storing seed corn three things
should be kept in mind. according to
j. G. Hackleman Of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. They are (1)
dry room or building, CD fairly low,
even temperature without hard
freezes. and (3) a we'll ventilated room
from which moisture from the sweat
ing grain may easily escape Seed
corn may be injured if stored above
sweating grain from which it receives
moisture.
These essentials are most perfectly
secured by proper storage in an at
tic, as careful tests have shown that
better results were obtained from such
storage than from any other. Cellars
in which there are furnaces are ex-
cellent; others are likely to be too
damp. II it is impossible to use any
of the house in this way, suitable
places can probably be found in tool
sheds or other farm buildings.
A frame of two by fours may be
built from two to six feet square and
strongly braced. If chicken netting is
then stretched over both the sides in
such way that the holes match, the
ears may be thrust through and stored
very cheaply. They may be swung
from the roof in strings, held by baling
wire or binding Irvine, or may be-
stuck on nails driven into an upright
four by four post from which the cor
ners have been trimmed so as to
make room for eight rows Of nails
instead Of only four, Mice may DO
kept from this seed corn tree by nail
ing tin around the bottom Just above
the base or by inserting a hook in tho
top by means of which the tree with
its load may be hung with a wire from
the roof.
A study OF your own conditions will
perhaps show you better methods than
any of these which will meet the re-
quirements Of good storage.

DRY of it did not desert my mind. Some
odd inclination seemed to impel me to
turn aside and study the situation
there more closely. Possibly some
key to the mystery of Harwood's muir
der-some connection between him
and old Ned Cowan-might be re-
vealed in a search OF the deserted
home. Fox mad said that his party
halted at the house on their march
east toward Hot Springs. Some scrap

The shock OF this discovery was so
sudden as to give me a strange,
