Seed Corn Tree-Very Good Device on
Which to Store Seed Corn.

2x4s may be build, about four feet
square. Braces should be nailed on
each end, to make the frame stand up
right. After this has been done,
stretch chicken-wire over both sides,
mailing it securely; using care to
make the meshes on both sides to cor
respond. In each mesh can be placed
an ear, no two ears touching. In case
chicken-netting is not available, nail
boards over the frame, drive ten
penny finishing nails through the
boards from each side, and jab the
ears on the nails, butt first. The nails
should slant up slightly.

A CooI-Weather Crop.

Buckwheat is very sensitive to cold
and is killed by the first heavy frost
It fills best in cold weather, however,
and so the sovings are deferred to
allow only time for the crop to ma
ture before frost occurs. By seeding
in early July it is most likely to es-
cape injury from hot weather. which,
with drying winds and hot nights.
causes the flowers to blast and fail to
uroduce seed

Birds Spread HOG Cholera.

Buzzards, crows and other birds are
active agents in the spread Of hog
cholera. They visit any place where
there is carrion or offal of any sort
and they have thus been known to
transport hog cholera germs for long
distances. All hogs, therefore, that
die should be burned or deeply buried.
This will do much to check the spread
of infectious swine diseases.
