UNIFORMITY DESIRABLE IN
SELECTING EXHIBITION
CORN.

In selecting ten ears for exhibition
the first thing to remember is that the
sample will be judged as whole and
not in part on the merits of few ex
ceptionally good ears. Two or three
unusually fine ears cannot make up
for the deficiency Of the rest OF the
sample. They will bring out more
prominently the poor qualities Of the
other ears and therefore detract from,
rather than add to, the appearance of
the sample.
Uniformity should be one Of the
principal considerations in selecting
corn for exhibition. Have every ear
like every other ear in shape, size.
character of kernel, color of cob and
in shade Of color OF the grain. When
selecting sample, first pick out in the
field while husking or from the wagon
or crib, one hundred or more of the
best ears to be found Lay them out
on a table or floor side by side, and,
having in mind all the characters of
good ear, study each carefully and
the poorest ones. Two or
three hours can be spent very profit
ably at this. Next, select two or three
Of the most ideal ears in the pile,
using each as standard. match them
with as many good ears as can be
found. Finally. out of these lots,
choose the best ten ears that will
match.
The ear should be cylindrical, or at
least only slightly tapering, with rows
running straight from butt to tip. A
tapering ear has either less rows on
one end than on the other, or the
kernels are shorter or narrower on
the tip end. In either case, the
yield Of grain is less than that Of a
cylindrical ear; besides. in the latter
case. there is the additional objection
Of lack Of uniformity in shape of kernel
which makes it impossible for the
planter to drop them evenly

Lincoln Among Other Men.

Some years ago series Of pictures
was printed showing Lincoln In many
attitudes. either alone or In company
with statesmen or military men In
Washington or in camp. Attention
was called by the writer. who had az
semblcd the pictures. to the singular
Isolation and dignity Of Lincoln when
taken with any group o. men. They.
almost without exception. showed that
they were conscious Of observation. at
titudes were studies. and the effort to
look well in the picture was often evf-
dent No matter In what company he
was. the president seemed not to be
conscious either OF the artist. Of him
self or Of the mfn who surrounded
him. He stood cf sat .alone. as II he

ferent sections Of the State during the
winter months.
These courses were great success
last year They are not in the nature
of an Institute, but supplement this
class Of instruction. Short courses
VIII be conducted for four days at any
given place. They are designed to fur
nish to the farmers and farmers
wives, and particularly the young men
and women in the farm homes. an op-
portunity TO secure, through series
OF complete and regular lectures, and
practical demonstrations, information

limited funds and men and women
available for the work only small
number Of these Nsighborhood Courses
can be conducted this year Every eff.

this reason courses can only be held
in those places where the people are
deeply Interested. and are willing to
put time and energy behind them so
as to make them success from every
standpoint.
