STORAGE OF CORN FOR SEED
Ears Should Be Thoroughly Dried Be-
fore Freezing Weather and Placed
in Well-Ventllated Room.

In saving seed corn the ears should
be thoroughly dried before freezing
weather, and always stored in a dry,
well-ventilatcd room or granary. The
corn should be stored so as to Per-
nit perfect ventilation. When only
a few bushels are needed for home
use, spread tho corn on the top floor
OF barn. The ears should be spread
thin on floor and not kept in barrels
or bins. Corn, when the grain on tho
cob seems hard and dry to the touch,
will contain considerable moisture and
will mold if stored in tight bin
when the weather Is damp.
Sweet corn should not bo gathered
until the middle Of October, and then
husked and hung up in granary to
cure out, which will take several
weeks. Seedmcn have a wcll-vcnti.
lated granary for their seeds, and seed
corn is placed on slotted shelves ono
above the other so the air can pass
through the corn on every side. This
is the best method of keeping largo
quantities Of seed corn.

HOW 10 HANDLE FRUIT
Care Must Be Exercised in Pick
ing and Packing Apples.
Apples Are Very Easily Bruised,
Thereby Presenting Unattractive
Appearance-Always Watch
Markets in Selling.

Few people realize the Importance of
handling apples with care while pick.
ing, packing and marketing. Apples
are bruised very easily and especially
those varieties having tender flesh
or skin Bruises mean not only an un-
attractive appearance, but q real waste
OF fruit by having to cut out the
bruised tissue. Probably tho greatest
damage from bruises, however, results
from the fact that the bruises furnish
All entrance for fungus or rot spores.
These spores, or fungus Seeds" are
as fine as dust and float in tho air. If
they happen to lodge on bruised or
broken spot on the apple, they take
root and grow and spread through
the apple, causing it to rot. Wrapping
or covering the apple may not always
protect it, as the spores may have
lodged on the apple before it was
picked However, if the skin and flesh
OF the apple can be kept intact and
not bruised or broken. there Is not
much danger Of tho fungus or rot find.
ing it's way into the apple.
f; To prevent bruising, apples should
not bo dropped or thrown into q
bucket, box or barrel, and in pouring
from one vessel to another care should
be taken that the apples are as close
as possible to the bottom of the vessel
i'll which you are placing them before
the pouring begins. If pail is used
to pick in, it should be small enough
to lower into the boxes and, even then,
holding back tho apples with the
hands is a good idea, as it breaks the
fall and lessons the bruising. No apple
which falls from the tree should he
allowed to go into the first grade ap-
pies.
Firstclass fruit in first-class shape
Will probably develop an inquiry for
moro of tho same kind
There is almost as much in tho
selling Of apples as in tho growing

Convenient and Useful Packing Stand.

Convenient and Useful Packing Stand.
Watch tho markets and always have
your fruit ready to sell when the
prices arc most favorable.
1t is folly to spend years in bring
ing up a good orchard and then allow
the buyers to come in and take them
at their own price.
or course it pays well to raise fancy
apples if all tho details of packing
and selling arc attended to, but it
must be remembered that tho bulk OF
tho fruit consumed is OF the standard
variety
When apples are shipped from the
orchard in bulk the packer makes a
very nice profit in sorting and packing
in clean boxes or barrels-a thing the
grower should do himself
