are more often than not abnormal ears,

which nature has endeavored to cor
rect during the period of growing hy
the use of abnormal methods AS a
general thing the offspring Of such an

A medium sized ear say ten and a
half or eleven inches long. with a cir
conference Of approximately seven
inches is about right. Straight rows
indicate careful selection and breeding
in the seed which produced the ear.
and for this reason are desirable. On
the other hand, some varieties of corn
are known by their Enthusiastically
crooked rows and should not be dis
criminated against. An average ear Of
the size stated will weigh about IA
ounces when its moisture content is
( 10 per cent, and it will shrink in length
from one to two inches during the
process Of drying. or course it will
also shrink in circumference, which is
something that is moi generally OBJ
served by farmers
Before the selected corn is finally
stored it must be dried out, so that its
moisture content will fall as low as 15
per cent. If possible. Under such cen
ditions even very hard freeze viii
have little or no effect on the vitality
of the seed. If the drying out process
can be carried on in room where
there is stove heat. or in another room
near enough TO get the heat from a
stove. 50 much the better
one Of the best ana simplest meth
DDS of storing seed corn is to tie it up
with binder Irvine. each string con-
tanning from Il to Is ears. These
strings may be suspended from wires
strung in the barn or other places
where the corn is ia be kept. and Ii is
important that the individual ears
should not touch each other. Corn

The Lest place TO store corn. is some
place where it Is dry. and where there
Is room for the circulation Of air
between The ears or rows. If Il room
or attic IN the farmhouse can be
utilized for this purpose, II makes M

building must be used, care should be
taken that the spot where the corn IS

House of Paper.

When you think of paper house
you think of China and Japan.
But that is not the only place where
such material has been used in build
Ings.
A paper house was once erected in
Hamburg. 1t was used as a restau-
rant. It's walls were made of double
layers of paper stitched on frames
and impregnated with a fire and wa
terproof solution.
The roof and walls were fastened
together by means of bolts and hinges,
so that it was collapsible. The din
lngroom was capable Of holding 80
people. There were % windows, four
skylights and the heating was effected
by a couple of Isolated stoves. -Bos-

What Could He say?

A good story was related by naval
officer who was with Admiral Sims
in English waters. 1t was heavy,
foggy, night. Every vessel was fog
bound. About midnight there came
wireless message to the admiral
from ships officer reading:
'Am fog-bound. Shall proceed to
next port or return?n
Admiral Sims, being fog-bound him
self, could not help smiling at the stu
pidity Of the message. So he sent this
reply:
Yes
In short time came back another
appeal from the officer. Think you
misunderstood my message. Am fog
bound Shall proceed to next port
Or return2"
To this the admiral replied:
NO

STORING UP VITAL ENERGY
Without Process That Goes On During
the Hours Of Slumber Life Could
Not Continue.

Following is from Practical Thera-
peutics by Henry Lindlahr, NJ. D.:
During sleep the liberation of vital
energy in the body continues as DUR
ing the wakeful hours of active work,
but none is expended. The body acts
as a storage battery. A reserve of
vital energy is thus accumulated for
the work of the following day.
'The moment consciousness wakens
and mental activity begins the expend-
iture of vital force commences.
1T is for these reasons that nothing
can take the place Of sleep as a re-
storer of vital energy. No amount Of
food and drink. no tonics or stimulants
can make good for lost sleep"

In 1915 IN the northern corn belt,
most of the corn failed to mature. we
had little good home grown seed for
the 1916 planting This should have
taught us a lesson. We should have
saved a two years supply for seed in
1916, but we didn't. In 1917 the corn
again failed to mature and we were
again caught without seed. The result
was that the farmers Of the United
States lost millions Of dollars because
of the reduced yield in 1918. The
1919 corn crop promises to be one of
the largest on record, and few farm
ers win have any excuse for not saving
an abundance of seed.
