prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
There Is each spring a scarcity o.
good seed corn. This condition is all
the more regrettable, because 1t need
not exist and it Ii much more serious
than commonly supposed, because
many do not realize fully the tremen-
dous loss to themselves and the coun-
try due to the planting of inferior seed.
A full stand of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss is
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection Of seed corn
In the autumn.
To be first class, seed must be:
1. OF variety well adapted to the
seasonal and soil conditions where it
is to be planted.
2. Grown on productive plants OF a
productive variety, showing all the de-
sirable characteristics.
3. Well matured, and preserved from
ripening time till planting time in such
a manner as to retain its full vigor.
Three Important Requirements.

ments just enumerated has been DEM

cape. In cold weather both the hinged
door and the damper in the air pipe
must be closed. The windows in the
storage room should be darkened in
order to protect the vegetables from
too much light.
Barrels, crates, boxes or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to built-in bins, as 1t is pos
sible to remove them for cleaning.
Using Outside Cellars.
Outdoor storage cellars or caves are
particularly good for the storage Of
many vegetables. They are especially
desirable on the farm, as they afford
convenient and inexpensive storage ia
cilities for surplus vegetables that 9TH
erwise might be lost. They possess all
the advantages of the basement. stor-
age room and are superior in many re-
spects. 1t is possible to keep the eel
lar cool and to reduce temperature
quickly by opening the door during the
night, and closing it in the morning
before the air becomes warm.
AS the root cellar must be PROOF
against frost and moisture, its types
and construction vary with the geo.
graphical location. In the southern
portion of this country the structure
usually is entirely above ground and
protected by only few inches of sod
and straw or leaves. In northern Sec
tons outdoor cellars are made almost
entirely below ground and are covered
with foot or two of earth.
Full directions for the construction
of storage rooms and cellars and for
the storage of vegetables are contained
in Farmers Bulletin $40, "Home Stor-
age of Vegetables" which will be sent
free on request to the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

The quantity Of grain needed to pro-
duce pound of gain is considerably
lessened II the hogs have access to
green forage. Corn fed to growing
shotes on rape should produce one
pound Of gain for every 1857 pounds
Of grain fed. The addition Of some
highly concentrated feed. such as tank
age, meat meal, shorts or linseed meal
should reduce by one-half to three
fourths of pound the quantity OF
grain necessary to produce pound Of

prepared by the United States Depart

Harvesting peanuts before they are
mature, as Is often the case among
inexperienced growers, Is responsible
for considerable loss In the yield Of
marketable peanuts. A few of the
peanuts are very likely to mature and
sprout during rainy weather before
the crop is ready to be dug. The vines
assume a yellowish appearance when
the crop Is mature, which is usually,
but not always, good indication as
to the proper time for harvesting.
This, together with the turning brown
and falling off of the lower leaves,
and the plump appearance Of the pods
should be the guide in determining the
maturity of the crop.
After the crop has been dug the
vines should be stacked before the
leaves become dry and have fallen off.

er's entire attention. If he will get
the very best that Is to be had and pre-
serve 1t well, his increased yields will
return him more profit than any other
work he can do on his farm.
In Is years. investigations conducted
upon Scioto river bottom soil near
Piketon, o., with WOODBURY. White
Dent, United States selection II, the
yield was raised from an average of 63
bushels of dry shelled corn for the
period from 1901 to 1907 to an average
Of IS bushels for the period from 1907
to 1913. The principal influence pro-
ducing this Increase In yield was the
selection and care of seed corn.
Ears to Select.
AS soon as the crop ripens, the first
step is to go through the field with
seed-picklng bags, and husk the ears
from the stalks that have produced the
most corn without having had any
special advantages as to space, mois-
ture or fertility. The large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unusual
amount, of space around them should
be avoided. Preference should be
given the plants that have produced
most heavily in competition with
full stand of less productive plants. In
all localities the inherent tendency Of
the plant to produce heavily Of sound,
dry, shelled corn is of most impor-
lance.
The same day seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in dry
place with free circulation Of air and
placed in such position that the ears
do not touch each other. This Is 'ne
only safe procedure. Good seed is re-
peatedly ruined because of the belief
that 1t Is already dry enough when
gathered and that the precaution men,
toned above is unnecessary.
In localities where weevils and grain
moths injure stored grain, the thor
oughly dry ears should be stored in
very tight mouse-proof receptacles,
with one pound of moth balls or naph-
thalene inclosed for each bushel of
corn. This quantity tightly inclosed
with the corn will prevent damage
from these insects and will not injure
the seed.

onstrated experimentally. The results
of the tests, given briefly, are as fol-
lows:
/. For a series of five years, II varie-
ties were tested in ten Northern states,
equivalent lots Of seed being used in
each state. Varieties that produced
most In some states were among the
poorest In others.
2. Seed ears taken from the highest
yielding rows Of ear-to-row breeding
plats have repeatedly produced better
than seed ears taken from poorer
yielding rows. Seed ears from the best
producing stalks found In a general
field produced more than seed ears
taken without considering the produc-
tiveness of the parent stalks. AS the
result Of selection work of this kind,
average acre yields on some farms
have been increased 10 per cent In
decade.
3. Four bushels of ears were divided
into two equal parts, one part being

on poor soil IL per cent higher than
the poorly-preserved and u per cent
higher on fertile soil, Notwithstanding
the fact that both lots of seed germi-
mated equally well.
Prevention Is Best.
Seed corn that natures normally
and has been preserved properly will
grow satisfactorily. 1t Is very poor
management to neglect proper pres
ervation and then spend time In the
spring separating by termination tests
those ears that have been badly dam
aged from those that have been slight
ly damaged. Prevention is better than
cure, and in this case n cure Is Inn
possible.
If 1t is found necessary to plant seed

full, each ear should be tested separate
ly and only those planted which germi-
nate perfectly.
II the only, seed available for plant
ing Is inferior in quality and vitality,
1t should be planted thick In order to
counterbalance imperfect termination
and to approximate perfect stands.
Poor stands are frequent source Of
poor yields. In nearly every locality
good farmers usually agree regarding
the stand that approximates the opti-
mum for normal soil and seasonal con-
ditions. Stands markedly inferior to
the optimum give On Increase in size

Loss may be sustained from too thick

FACILITIES FOR
PROPER STORAGE
Many Cellars Are Suitable, but
Care Must Be Given to
Light and Heat.
AVOID FROST and MOISTURE
Attention Must Be Given In Fall to
Storing Surplus Vegetables So That
Grocery Bills May Be Ma
terialiy Reduced.

In the fall the wise home gardener,
whether in city or country, plans and
works for his garden next year, ana
stores the surplus products of his sum-
mer work. He plows hard or stiff clay
soils, as the action of the frost during
the winter will break the soil into fine
particles and render 1t suitable for
planting. He clears away the weeds
and rubbish and gets ready for ar
early start in the spring. Plowed
ground dries out more quickly than
unplowed and by blowing in the fall
1t is possible to get such crops as peas,
beets and early potatoes planted much
earlier than otherwise would be the
case.
If the gardener has planned his crop
so that fall finds him with large sur
plus of storable vegetables, much Of
his attention will be given to placing
them away, safe from moisture and
heat, so that through the winter they
will help to reduce grocery bills and
vary the diet without regard to market
conditions or winter temperature.
Home storage Of vegetables, import
ant at times, is especially valuable
II canning or drying containers are
high in price. Furthermore, crops of
suitable sorts that mature at season
when they can be preserved by storing
should be kept in their natural con-
dition instead of being canned or dried.
Beets, late cabbage, carrots, celery,
onions, parsnips, potatoes, sweet pota-
toes. satisfy and turnips may be stored
in their natural condition. Beans of
various kinds, including the limas, may
be stored dry. Successful storage is
not at all difficult. In fact, good facili-
ties already exist In many homes, 1t
being necessary only to make use of
the cellar, the attic, large closet, or
other parts of the dwelling, depending
upon the character Of the product to
be stored.
Storing In House Cellars.
A cool, well-ventil8ted cellar offers
good conditions for vegetable storage,
but many cellars are not well suited
because of poor insulation or lack of
StiulS
naces are usually too warm or too dry
for storage Of root crops, Often 1t is
possible, however, to partition off
room, either In one corner or at one
end of the cellar, where the tempera-
ture may be controlled by means Of
outside windows. At least one win
dow is necessary. and two or more are
desirable for light and ventilation.
Natural earth makes better floor
than concrete or brick, as certain
amount of moisture is desirable. Walls
Of the storage room should be parallel
to the walls of the cellar. Ventilation
may be secured by opening windows,
but an air duct, made of wood, metal

COMFORT IN HEN
HOUSE REQUIRED
Prepare in Early Fall for Cold,
DisagreeabIe Weather When
Fowls Are Indoors.
ESSENTIAL FOR WINTER eggs
Fresh Air, Dryness, Sunlight, and
Space Enough to Keep Chickens
contented Are Of Importance
Make Roof Watertight.

During the summer the poultry
house question has not given the poul-
try keeper much concern. The chick
ems have had the freedom Of outdoor
life most of the time and just so they
had clean, airy place, free from
vermIn, and covered with good roof
to keep out rain, was about all that
was necessary. But as winter APP
proaches and weather conditions are
such that the fowls must be confined
more, 1t Is essential that their indoor
guartepss be made as comfortable as
possible. This Is one Of the requisites
of winter egg production.
The prime essentials in poultry
houses, according to the United States
department of agriculture, are fresh
mir, dryness, sunlight and space enough
to keep the birds comfortable. The
particular style Of house is not i'm
portant, for house that gives salts
faction in the North will also give good
results in the South, but 1t Is prefer
able to have more open and conse-
quently less expensive houses in the
South than In the North. The loca-
ton should have good water and air
drainage so that the floor and yards
will be dry, while the house should not
occupy low pocket or hollow in
which cold air settles. When 1t Is
possible, southern or southeastern
/, exposure should be selected, although
this is not essential If there is any
good reason for facing the house In a
different direction.
Importance Of Roof.
The roof is the most expensive but
q most important part Of the poultry
house, and should be water-tight.
Single roofs should have a one-third
pitch, while those covered with pa
per or metal may have less pitch,
or be almost fiat; however, the great
er the slope the longer the life of
the roof.
The shed or single-slope roof is
adapted to houses up to 16 feet In
width. 1t Is one Of the easiest styles
to construct. 1t allows a high front
to the house, and furnishes n north
ern slope for the roof on which roofing
paper Will last longer than on a roof
which faces the south. The combina-
zion and semlmonitor roofs are adapt
ed for buildings from 10 to "a feet
wide, while either of these styles, or
the monitor and the gable roof, may
be used for wider buildings. The
combination roof on house over 10
feet wide gives the best head room
at the least cost, reduces the amount
Of surplus air space, and gives neat
appearance to the buildings; while the
semimonitor and monitor types are
best for wide houses which have cen
trail alley. particularly brooder houses
The semimonitor house usually faces
south, while the monitor type Of roo
Is frequently used on buildings facins

HOME STORAGE IS BEST

The storing Of late vegetables
is an economy for those who
grow them in sufficient quantity
for the needs of the family.
To care for the surplus vege-
tables nothing more, in many
cases, is required than the use Of
facilities existing in or near the
home.
Often the late vegetables from
small garden can be stored
with no expense.
When considerable quantities
of vegetables are grown 1t is
frequently advisable to construct
permanent storage facilities In
the form of a storage room In
the basement Of the dwelling or
under an outbuilding or to build
an outdoor cellar of wood or ma
sonry.
If permanent facilities are not
available late vegetables can be
kept In outdoor pits or banks,
requiring no cash outlay except
for labor.

prevent the peanutD from holding.
The stacks should be small and placed
around poles provided with two cross
pieces nailed to the pole ten to twelve
inches from the ground to support the
vines. After curing in stacks for a
few weeks peanuts can be hauled to
the barn and stored without danger of
loss.
Some growers who find 1t difficult TO
obtain poles rake the peanuts into
windows with hay rake and then
stack them like hay. This method
requires a longer time for proper cur
Ing. and is successful only when small
stacks are made and the peanuts are
quite dry before being stacked. II the
peanuts become wet they are serious
