A good sized ear is essential to a
good yield. 1t indicates that the ear
comes from a strong, vigorous, healthy
stalk and that in turn it will produce
stalks and ears having a strong con-
stitution and hardness. No one would
think of selecting for seed small,
weak, puny-looking ears. Corn has
been bred for the grain or ear until
the proportion of corn to stalk is alb
normally high and consequently the
tendency is for the ear to become
smaller unless We select larger ears
than we expect in the average of the
crop.
Select Medium Sized Ears.
On the other hand, the greater dan
ger lies in selecting too large ears
and too large types of corn, and this is
especially true of the northern half of
the corn belt. For every dollar lost
by growing corn that is too small or
too early there are ten to twenty dol
lars lost from growing corn that is too
large and too late in maturing. If the
season is late and cold, or the frosts
come too early, or if the seed is plant
ed lated in the spring, the grower has
lot of soft, chaffy, moldy, light corn.
In addition to this it is very difficult
to secure good seed from such corn
for next years crop. 1t is certain to
be more or less frozen, moldy and
weak, and to result in poor stand
and a poor crop Large, sappy, i'm
mature ears fill the wagon-box rapidly,
and we deceive ourselves into think
ing that we are getting large yield.
Corn of this kind often contains from
35 to As per cent of water. When the
corn dries it is loose on the cob, chaffy
and light. The little cells in the ker-
nels are only partially filled with food
and are dull and chalky, or starchy,
instead of bright, hard, heavy and
rich in appearance.
The corn is apt to spoil, especially
in the bottom of the crib, i. e., burns
out, and it is unpalatable to stock. The
grower of such corn is required to sell
at a greatly reduced price. What we
want is corn that will be safe every
year. Remember that two small ears
weighing but ten ounces each, to each
hill will make 81 bushels per acre, or
double the average yield. Three of
them will give nearly 100 bushels per
acre.
This indicates full maturity, good
quality, feeding value and yield.
Large ears will generally have larg-
er and deeper kernels. Short, bunchy
ears are certain to have deeper ker-
nels than long, slim ears. AS con-
sequence the planter cannot be adj
justed to give uniform drop.
If we have large and small ears,
bunchy and slim ears, deep kerneled
and shallow kerneled ears we shall
not only have unevenness in size and
shape of kernels, but we shall also
have a great variation in time of ma
turity, some stalks bearing early and
some late, and some having high ears
and some low.

CARE OF GOOD CLOTHES.

| The Finer the Stuff the More Watch
fu One Should Be.
1t is very common mistake to be-
lieve that good materials, whether OF
cotton, silk or WOOL need less care than
cheap ones. How often does one COM
plain of the lack Of wearing quality in
a garment for which a big price has
been paid. Yet, most frequently, what
has worn out the fabric has not been
actual use, but the neglect it has suf-
fered.
One Of the principal differences be-
tween good and cheap materials is that
the better grades are finer spun. This
may mean that the fabric is stronger
and, in proportion to the uses to which
1t is put. may wear longer, but it also
means that each tiny thread by itself is
weaker and more apt to injury Any
thing which may attack the threads
one by one, therefore. does more harm
with fine goods than with coarse.
No matter how careful one may try
to be, clothes that one wears gradually

In themselves these bacteria do but
little harm, but many of them set free

is not enough to eat all the way
through, but if it is sheer or woven of
fine threads one by one the threads are
eaten through and the texture weak

The Silent Company.

The Ardmill Company, the Silent,
which has drilled a well to depth
of something like 2,100 feet in Sec
ton 1855 near oakland in Marshall
county, may drill another well. The
Ardmill people make public no re-
ports of drilling operations and never
disclose their plans. Any report
which is published concerning the
well cannot be more than guesswork.
1t is reported that the company, dur
ing the drilling of the well either
forfeited its acreage or sold it until
at one time it had only II acres
where the well is located. The COM
pany became busy recently and ac-
quired a larger acreage surrounding
the well and is making preparations
to move exactly one-half mile south
and drill another well. The second
well will be drilled on the line be-
tween sections II and 20.
