for Mr. Stewart. The first two hours
from 7 to 9 o'clock a. m., it threshed
1067 bushels of winter oats, and it did
the work well and cleaned the grain fit
for market. I think this machine will
break the record in Clackamas county.

either fail to germin it", waking re
planting necessary, or have such a low
vitality that It Is almost Impossible to
get a stand If weather conditions are
not perfect. Even if the corn does come
up well the plant will be feeble, will
start slowly and will not produce aa
large an ear as a stalk from vigorous
seed.
By this time the corn has been all
gathered and It Is presumed the ears
Intended for seed selected. This may
have been done nt husking time or the
grower may have gone tnrough the
field earlier In the season, choosing the
largest and best developed ears. Tho
care of the seed corn from now on is
very Important, says Orange Judd
Farmer in giving the following hints
as to what this should be. In the first
place, see that it Is not thrown In a
pile. If this Is done, It will not dry out
thoroughly and uniformly, and in rpita
of every precaution enough moisture
will remain either in the cob or in the
grains to work great Injury when the
coldest weather of winter comes.
Where a small quantity of seed only is
.desired the ears limy bo hung up to
rafters in outbuildings or may be
spread over the attic floor one ear deep.
The storage place must be kept as free
from dampness us is possible to make
It. If It is In a room through which a
chimney or stovepipe passes, the condi
tions are almost ideal, provided proper
ventilation is given. It can remain in
a nlace like this all winter if care Is

must be exercised In drying. If space
Is not available for spreading It out on
a dry floor, put It In small crates hold
ing not more than a bushel and with at
least one Inch of space between the
slats. Put these on racks under a shed
where there Is a free circulation of air.
If the season Is dry, there will be no
trouble In jcuring this seed corn per
fectly, but If It is damp a greater part
of the time before cold weather sets In,
it will pay to place the crates In a
room where artificial heat can be used
for drying. A 'large stove In a granary
or workshop will furnish enough heat
to dry out several hundreds of bushels
at a time. As soon as the moisture has
been removed the corn can be placed
In a granary or under a shed, still keep
ing It In the crates, and a fresh supply
put Into the drying house.
Many seed growers not only dry their
corn thoroughly In the fall, but store it
where the temperature will not get
much below the freezing point during
the entire winter. The garret of u
large house will answer well enough
and some growers have even used a
dry cellar, claiming that the seed kept
there had a high germinating power.
Laying on a board floor Is usually ob
jected to, unless It happens to be the
floor of an attic which Is always dry.
It Is not advisable to shell seed corn
until It Is needed In spring.

VIOLET CULTURE.
By a Phenomcnally'SocceRsfnl Crow
kl er-rreTentlon of "Spot."
''From the middle of February to
the midle of March we select young
plants, those having white roots, from
good, healthy crowns. These will be
found In abundance on good clumps,
especially Campbell. These we put In
boxes filled with soil. No manure Is
used. Our object Is to get plenty of
good working roots. This will pay for
the extra labor if only to combat the
red spider alone, the great scourge of
the violet grower.
"Hero we have a large lot of plants
In a small space, easily syringed and
cared for. Use boxes In preference to
Betting the plants In beds, as the soil
dries out sooner In boxes, allowing us
to syringe them oftener. This is Im
possible with plants left on the crowns
until after the blooming season, as so
much water would spoil the flower for
Easter. These plants are shaded from
strong sunlight and handled as cut
tings until they have become thorough
ly established In the boxes. Give them ,
plenty of fresh air, -but avoid a strong
draft. In ventilating our houses dur
ing the winter months we always open
the ventilators on the opposite side
from which the wind is blowing. Never
neglect these young plants, for upon
them largely depends your future fail
ure or success." This advice is that of
a phenomenally successful eastern
grower given before a convention of
horticulturists. CondeusUig his further
remarks, we arrive at the following
facts:
About the middle of May he begins
taking out the old plants and all soil
put in the previous year. After all de
cayed lumber has been replaced With
new he closes all ventilators, making
the house as tight as possible, allowing
the temperature to run as high as the
bright sun of this season of the year
will make It After a day or two of
this, when the house cools down nt
night, there is a fine Incubator for in
sects and fungus.
He leaves the house in this condition
for two or three bright days, then in
the evening takes In a liberal amount
of sulphur and sets It on fire, making a
thorough fumigation; in the morning
opens the ventilators, giving the house
plenty of fresh air, and then has a
house as fresh and clean as when new.
The new beds are made of sod about
an inch thick, grass side down, covered
with two inches of quite coarse corn
stalk manure brought from the cow
yard in early spring and turned twice,
with four Inches of good soil on this.
No fertilizer or manure of any kind is
mixed with this. Before setting plants
the houso is shaded with thin white
wash with a little salt in it, followed
by a coat of light colored clay mixed
with water.
Boxes of young plants are how
brought In. These plants are set 12
Inches apart each way in order to grow
them large, with good, long stems. As
.soon as the plants are in the beds re
ceive a good wetting and are carefully
! syringed late in the afternoon or early
j evening notwithstanding good author
ity to the contrary. No tobacco, soap,
nothing but clear water, is used to keep
! them clean through the summer.
About Aug. 1 water Is withheld at
! ulglit, spraying them in early inonilns:
Every cfl'oJ t Is ma !e to kern plants in
best condition, lor the "spot season is
approaching. About the middle of Au
gust they reeeivi' 11 t:.,: dressing from
the sa.i lieno r: 1 in t:!': 'g the beds.

manure, as v,e i'".d this to contain little
or no fuiigi'.s a ml is iic.'it t.io stfon;; to
hurt anything To our minds overfer
tillzatloii is one of the great stumbling
blocks of violet growing."
About Sept. 1 plants and houses are
cleaned up ready for the blooming sea
Bon, beginning about the' middle of
September. The object Is to gel a good
crop about the 1st of October, before
they become very plentiful, and to sup
ply the retail dealer every day there
after till after Easter. This mode of
culture is for the Lady Campbell vari
