HINTS FOR FARMERS
Seed Cora Will Be Scarce
While tho corn crop of the country
ss a whole will be sufficient In quan
tity. It will average poor In quality.
The amount of well cured Nebraska
seed corn will be small on account cf
the lateness of the season.
Tho drying season will be short, if
not also moist, making the curing of
seed corn a difficult matter. Frosts
have killed a great deal of corn this
fall before ripe enough for seed. This
makes the chunces iu favor of a very
limited supply of seed corn for next
year's planting, and high prices will
probably prevail. The superiority of
borne grown varieties over those
brought in from farther south can
hardly be overestimated. The past sea
son has demonstrated this so thorough
ly that In yeurs to come home grown
seed corn will be at a premium.
Farmers who have well matured
fields of swtct corn Bbould save It for
seed. It will find u good market If not
all needed on the farm.,
Tdk selection of ears Is a very sim
ple matter, yet It is very important in
suviug seed corn.
The Wisconsin experiment station In
a recent timely bulletin recommends
the grower to go through the field with
a bnsket or bag and snap off the large
ears. These can be carried to the edge
of the field and drawn to the barns.
The eurs should not He In piles, for
they soon Become heated, and the
germs are thus weakened or destroyed.
They may be busked so as to leave
several busks on the shank of the ear.
Buch ears may be tied or braided to
gether and lying. In n .rMmw;here..plr.

A hovel method for insuring the
freshness of eggs has been -adopted by
a dalrymen'a association in the vicinity
of the city of Kehl, Germany. The
agents of this association go among the
farmers each day and purchase eggs,
the farmer guaranteeing that these
have been in I'd within the previous
twenty-four hours. In consequence of
this guarantee the association pays the
farmer 3 pfennigs, or about half a cent,
above the regular market price for
each egg. ' The association then makes
a record of each purchase by giving
the farmer a registered number and
numbering each egg Iu a corresponding
miinner. Wlieu a consumer chances to
find a stale egg he returns It to the
dealer, who in turn charges it to the
association, which reports the matter to
the farmer. The method Is a protection
to all parties concerned and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs an
delivered to the dealer In cases con
mining live dozen each. Tbls unique
melhod will doubtless Interest many of
our renders, although we doubt If any
association would adopt the method in
this country. Connecticut Farmer.
