SEED CORN SELECTION

The hard frosts have damaged
corn quite a bit in parts of Madison
and Rockcastle counties. Our seed
corn for next year should be select
ed while the corn is standing in the
field so as TO avoid the frost bitten
ears. After corn has been put in
crib it is impossible to get good
seed corn. We don't know whether
il was frost bitten or not. We don't
know what kind of stalk it grew on,
under what conditions it grew,
whether one or two ears to the
stalk, whether high or low, ears
sticking straight out or hanging
down, whether long shank or short.
In order TO do the seed selection
proper and right, we should go to
the field, select ears well maturei
with yellow shuck before frost,
medium height from ground, ears
hanging over with medium shank,
from hills of two stalks. and where
possible from stalks bearing two
or more ears. This corn should
stay in field until fully matured
and perfectly dry-not long enough
to catch any freezes, however. II
should be shocked and put up so
as TO dry out. There are many ways
of taking care of seed corn after
selecting it. Hang it up by strings
or stick each ear on a nail in the
wall, or put it on a shelf where
rats cant get TO it. Keep ears
about one to two inches apart SO
that it can dry out, and have plenty
of air circulation.

CURING CLOVER HAY.
Some Timely Advice ~ to the ess

Some Timely Advice ~ to the Best
Modern Methods.
So many farmers have a wrong idea
Of curing clover hay that the follow
ing advice of Director Brooks of the
Massachusetts station is timely:
Good weather Is essential for the
satisfactory making Of clover hay. as
1t is. indeed. for the satisfactory max
Ing of any hay. but far more impor-
tant In the case Of the clovers than
for timothy on account of the fact that
the clovers need much more drying.
The best hour In the day for cutting.
as II appears to me, Is late In the after
noon.
Whatever the hour. II Is essential to
keep In mind the fact that In the cur
ing Of clover hay 1t should be handled
but little after II begins to dry. II Is
generally well understood that too
much handling as the crop dries re-
suits in the breaking OF Of the leaves
and heads. which are the most valua-
BILE portion Of the crop. Whatever the
hour of cutting. then. the fact should
be kept in mind that this crop should
be tedded but little In curing. IL cut
late In the afternoon the crop may be
tedded once the following afternoon.
IL the weather Is particularly tine
1t will then be ready to rake and put
into cocks late In the afternoon OF the
same day II the clover Is curing more

windows over one night and to turn
these carefully with the fork the next
forenoon and to cock on the afternoon
Of the second day after cutting.
The use Of hay caps In curing clover

sirable to leave the clover In the cock
for a number of days. sometimes as
long as a week The hay Is coarse.
and II exposed to rain 1t Is badly dam
aged unless the cocks are protected by
caps. When examination shows that
the clover In the cock is apparently
cured II should be slightly opened and

ion to the contrary Notwithstanding. Is

which will need much less grain when

WHAT TO DO WITH A POOR
GRADE OF TOMATOES

When tomatoes are brought into
the house in large quantities, they
should be separated into two classes,
Glass A will be the perfect toma-
toes, which may be eaten now or
used for canning whole. Glass b
will be all Of the over-ripe or un-
der-ripe tomatoes. These are the
tomatoes which discourage the Geo.
nomical housewife. The over-ripe
tomatoes must be used at once. The
tomatoes with spots and partly green
will not do for canning and il left
to ripen they are bother.
The use of tomatoe sauce is not
common. We value tomatoes as a
food for the mineral matter and
flavor they contain. They are COM
posed mostly of water and do not
rank in food value. Using imper-
feet tomatoes the housewife may
keep this sauce on hand and dis
cover its many uses. II is not nee
essary to stop TO peel the tomatoes
before cooking for the sauce. Cut
in pieces removing spoiled parts,
cook without adding any water in
covered pan for ten minutes A
little onion may be cooked with the
tomatoes il the flavor is desired.
Strain this thru strainer fine
enough to prevent seeds going thru,
mash the pulp thru, leaving only
skin and seeds to throw away. This
juice may be canned but it is bet
ter to make and use il from day TO

Peacock ROYAL Feast.

Peacock was very costly and fa-
vorite dish with royalty in days gone
by. Whether the birds were reared on
the royal premises or bought from the
local peacockmonger is not recorded.
but the fact remains they figured in
the menu.
The bird was skinned bodily, leaving
the feathers and head intact. It was
then stuffed and roasted a luscious
brown, and the skin and head. with the
comb nicely gilded, were replaced, and
the dish sent in to table. Of course, it
had to be 'undressed" before carving.
When knights met to have a final
carouse before departing on some new
quest or endeavor, it was always pea
cock ION" for the game item. If there
was special fair dame they wanted
to gull into believing that it was for
her sweet sake they were out for fresh
adventures, it was over the body of the
peacock that any swears on her behalf
were sworn.

REMEMBERING TIE PAST.

All OF the past good should be re.
Eembered; If there is small good,
then the least worst. One great poet
has held the failings and defects OF
value, as things on which to climb,
and a greater poet did not hesitate
to seize the sentiment and expand the
theme. Those who remember birth
days are affectionate by nature, says
Cincinnati Enquirer. Others are
strong on weddings, recalling all when
even the chief participants have near
Ey forgotten. And those who never
speak of their dead are either very
deep or very usually the lat
ter. No past need confound. The hurt
full leaven Of much Christian teaching
is the emphasis placed on the deeds
that have gone before. The gist of the
parable Of the PrOdigal Son lies in the
revelation of the love of the father
To him the far country and the
swine's husks were lost in forgetful-
ness, while music and dancing awaited
only the donning of the robe and shoes
by one not to be received as a servant.
In this spirit the fervent Paul pressed
forward, forgetting that which is be-
hind" Yet it was the reproach of the
rapt seer of the Apocalypse to the
church Of Ephesus that it had forgot
ten its first love.
