 Six bushels of seed will plant about 43 acres of corn, if there is no waste and no replanting is neces- sary. But it is best to save 15 or 20 bush els for each 40 acres. This will provide for all ordinary emergen- cies and will enable us to plant only the best and strongest ears.
 One of the best methods of gathering seed corn is to go into the best field with bags or baskets and select we'll matured ears from the most vigorous stalks.
 We should con slider the stalk in se- Iecting seed corn. 1t requires large, thrifty stalks to prod u c e good, big ears. Do not take an ear from a stalk that grew in a hill by itself or from one in a hill with a barren> or weak stalk. Choose eerS of ma

APPLES.

According to the latest information from a representative of the United States Bureau of Markets there is a normal crop of apples throughout the United Statcs- but a small crop in Connecticut.
 For this reason no apples should be wasted. Even windfalls and cull ap- ples that are ordinarily thrown away should be used.
 Apples are very easily canned, and enough for the winters supply may be put up in short time. Those who have trees should use tise culls and windfal1s. Those who do not have trees may usually buy windfalls at very low price.
 If one has apples for the winter. the fruit problem is largely solved. There is no fruit more pa1atable and more healthfui than the apple. Physicians recommend eating at least one every day as a body regulator. Nearly all children like apples
 Fruit will probably be high in price during the winter, but it Is very es- sential to health. so provide a supply now while it is possible.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

consumer poultry can be sold alive which would be unstable if dressed, but the public is slowly becoming ed ucated as proved by the range of price and the premium paid for quality. It is decidedly unfortunate that so many laying hens are going upon the mar ket. They could be of more use at home.

Points on the Raising of Rye.

Now is the time to get your last cover crop in. Rye should be seeded at the rate of two bushels per acre. No field should be left bare during the fall months after the removal of the crop. The conservation of plant. food elements is extremely essential when fertilizers are costing as much as at the present time. Where it is possible, SOW rye until the middle of next month. It is desirable to seed it as soon as possible. in order to get large growth and preserve the food. Where fields are to be plowed very early in the spring and cannot be seeded until the middle of October or later, the resulting growth obtained would be such that it would be rather i'm pra ctica1 to seed.
