GOOD SEED EARS.

and, with an ear Of the type desired in
mind or in hand, the lot should be ex-
amined and all undesirable ears elimi-
mated. The seed thus selected should
be transferred to a box or barrel and
covered with wire gauze to permit
thorough ventilation and yet keep out
rats and mice. Store the barrel or box
in some dry place until the seed is
wanted for planting.
Selections should be made from
stalks of fairly good size and Of me-
dunn height. which have good root and
leaf development. The ears should be
held Mt uniform height Of three to four
feet from the ground and should be at
tached to the stalks by strong shanks
of moderate length. When the land is
of such fertility as to yield twenty to
forty bushels OF shelled corn to the
acre selection should be made from
stalks bearing two good sized ears to
the stalk. taking both ears for seed
purposes If they are of proper size and
shape. OF all the characters to be con-
sidered In making selection that of

grain to the ear; that are Of uniform
size. shape and color. In order to yield
high percentage Of grain to cob the
ears should be cylindrical in shape and
the cobs should be covered deeply and
compactly with kernels. To secure this
setting the kernels should be Of deep
wedge shape and should be arranged
in parallel rows in full length of the
ears. with as small space as possible
between the grain rows.
The vitality of all seed thus selected
should be determined by termination

SELECTING SEED CORN.

Those Of Medium Length and Size
Preferable to Large Ones.
The proper place to select seed corn
Is in the field, at or just before gather
ing time, says the Country Gentleman.
Select from strong, healthy stalks that
have the most shelled corn to the stalk.
as such seed will tend to produce an
increased yield in the next years crop.
Any method of seed selection that does
not take the plant as a whole into con-
sidertaion will not lead to the best re-
suits, for the stalk and leaves, which
are the factory Of the plant, determine
60 a considerable extent the size and
quality Of the ears.
It has been observed that generally
the best yielding varieties are those
that produce more than one ear to the
stalk. Ears of medium length and size
are preferable to long and large ones.
because the latter were generally pro-
duced either on stalks that bore only
one eur or on stalks that grew on some
fertile spot in the field. Such seed
does not tend to produce the greatest
yields when planted. Seed from corn
grown on average land will do better
planted on land Of medium fertility
than seed from the corn grown on rich
land.
In making selections in the field
three or four times as much corn
should be gathered as is desired for
seed purposes the following year. so
that further and more careful selection
can be made after the ears have been
taken into the barn. In the final selec-
ton the ears should be arranged con-
veniently on the barn floor or ground,

The BirdsOng
5Y Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Cranel

In the deep of night when as yet all
VAS black and still. and there was no
sign at all of dawn. a bird sang out
clear note from the tree. In his heart he
saw the coming of day. He smote the
darkness with the sound of his faith.
Let me be the birdsong heralding the
day. and not march in the cohorts of si-
encel
In the pit darkness of the Augustsn
age, when force ruled, and mems minds
were bent under tyranny, and their high
souls quenched in lust out Of Nazareth
came clear birdnote, singing Of good
Father above, and Brotherhood here
below, of the invincibihty of love, and Of
the cosmic sweep of goodness. So long
before daybreak! Two thousand years,
and we still dream with the crudities of
var. of privilege, of coarse luxury!
Let me be brdsong in the dark,
rather than snore with the raucous snor-
ing Of the millions!
In the gloom of France long ago, when
conscience had no rights, theology was
degraded into logomachies, government
locked in absolutism all humanity bound
in ignorance and superstition, came the
voice of a mocking bird, ribald, coarse,
yet prophetic of liberty, of democracy,
the voice OF Rabelais.
In Italy there was heard sweet bird
song of pain, the voice Of ten silent CEN
turieS." the song Of Dante.
In France again another strident call
in the darkness. protesting against injus-
Jce against cruelty and blind tradition,
the voice Of Voltaire.
Dante's face was sad and stern Rabe-
lais' sneering Voltaire's smiling bitterly.

nate sorrow: Rabelas parody; Voltaire,

They were all early birdsongs, pro-
phetic, seeing distant centuries.

Let Us therefore take heart. In a world
yet asleep in the age-long torpor of ira

.nationalisms. in the nightmares Of con-
luest and empire. in the delusions of mill
tary force, let US utter our feeble cry Of
humanity. let US appeal to the world
against its divisions, let US sing of man
lund and not Of nations and flags.
For the the dawn is surely creeping up.
The day must break. There's a good
time coming. Let US believe in 1t, turn
