Hailing Seed Corn.
Tho best way of raising corn for
seed, ns followed In tho West, says C.
W. Morrill In Trl-Stnto Fanner, Is to
prepare a scetl bed or testing ground
of from ono to two acres far removed
from other fields. To begin with, no
ear should bo used which Is Imperfect
from which to select grains for tho
seed crop, selecting such type of corn
that you wish to grow, the work of
selection should bo followed year after
year, selecting tho best cars that show
an Improvement over previous years.
Any plant that Is deficient In any re
quirement should not be allowed to de
velop a tassol, nud especially a barren
stalk.
As to corn feeding, tho seed plots
should not suffer for want of plant
food. From field experiments with fer
tilizers on corn In tho West last year,
on noils of average fertility, a higher
per cent of potash than ordinary fer
tilizer contains gave remnrkablo re
sults and would undoubtedly give sim
ilar results on tho nverngo lands of
Georgia. In Georgia last year wcro
used more fertilizers with corn thnn
wns over used In years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more nttontlon
to the selection of seed, and Intensive
culture, there Is no doubt or reason
why tho Average yield of well-bred corn
should not bo Increased In tho South,
and especially Georgia.
Storlaar Winter. Apple.
Many growers must bo reminded of
tho Importance of getting fruit to stor
ago ns promptly as possible after pick
ing. Tho United States Department of
Agriculture has demonstrated that
fruit deteriorates more in a few days
between the time of leaving tho trees
and the time It reaches storago than It
does In as many mouths of storage at
a low temperature.
It was formerly thought necessary
to put apples In piles In the orchard,
to "sweat," but this has been shown
to have been a mistake. Don't do this:
but, on the contrary, send your apples
to storage at once, In refrigerator cars,
If tha weather Is warm and the dis
tance Is great Many of the best ap
plo handlers want their fruit In storage
before night of the day It la picked. If
at all possible, and there Is no doubt
that they are right In regard to this.
Western Fruit Grower.
Influence of Deaoralnar.
Fourteen cows wero subjected to tho
tuberculin test by the Wisconsin Sta
tion and then dehorned. The milk of
these cows, as regards yield and com
position, was compared with the milk
of cows dehorned but not tuberculin
tested, of cows tuberculin tested but
not dehorned, and of cows neither do
horned nor tuberculin tested. Tho re
sult showed on an average a decreaso
of about 8 per cent In the yield of
milk for the first few days after de
horning, but a loss of only about 2 per
cent In the yield of butter fat. De
horning, therefore. Increased the fat
content of the milk .027 per cent These
results are noted as being in accord
with the results of Investigations at
other experiment stations which nro
cited. The tuberculin test was appar
ently without effect upon milk secre
tion. Caavemlcat aad Cheap,.

Keeping- Apple.
Burying them in the ground proves
successful when other methods fall,
provided every upplo Is sound und free
from blemish when harvested. Tho
reason Is that temperature In tho
ground or mound In which the apples
are kept varies but little, anl they are
always cool. The same results will be
obtained If a cold and even tempera
ture can be secured In a cellar.
Wisterias Sheep.
It Is true of all poor stock that It Is
never profitable, and It Is especially
true of sheep. Weed out closely. Tho
most Important point In successful win
ter management of the flock Is to begin
with strong and healthy animals. Sheep
need not be cared for In a different
manner from most other farm stock,
but there Is more wisdom than luck
In keeping them In good condition
through the winter.

" Record Prlee for Lama.
Tho following from Orange Judd
Fanner shows what profits some men
undertake to make farming:
Ten acres of farm land in Christian
County, Illinois, sold for $5,000 n few
days ago, or $500 an acre. True, the
land lies just outside the city limits
of tlio county seat, but It Is not to bo
cut Into city lots. It will bo used for
raising fruit and vegetables. In other
words, tho purchaser, W. O. Simpson,
expects to mako tho Interest on his
?500 lnnd, nnd considerable profit be
side. This shows what careful, intelligent
farming and gardening will do. If Mr.
Simpson can make money on his high
priced lnnd, need his neighbors on
farms equally productive feel discour
aged? Wo In this country must prac
tice Intensive agriculture. Thcro Is
abundant ovldcnce thnt this will pay.
Sheep-Shearlng Machine.
Shocp-slicarIng machines arc a great
Improvement over hand work both In
cleanliness of clipping and In the time
required for each animal. It requires
somo skill to keep clippers sharp. Upon
this much of tho success and ease with
which these machines are handled de
pends. It Is necessary to know how to
handle a sheep while clipping It
A man who has had considerable ex
perience In shearing sheep by hand
will understand this part of the work
and can usually handle a machlno clip
per with grcnt ease. One man and a
boy with n machine can hnndlc about
twice as many sheep In a day as Is cus
tomary when they are hand-sheared.
Every purchaser of a sheep-shearing
machine should get a good sharpener
with It
Hand? Hoot Waaher.

can bo made any size, but one that
holds one and one-half bushels Is bet

parsnips or other roots, hook down
cover and turn slowly a mlnuto or two.
Lift from the water and empty.
Car for Hoar Cholera.
After many years of experimenting
for the cure of hog cholera the De
partment of Agriculture has worked
out a method which gives promise of
being an offoctlvo remedy. Tho meth
od consists In tho injection of scrum
from the blood of an Immune hog, after
tho Immune has been treated similarly
with tho serum from hogs affected with
tho disease.
Dr. Marlon Dorset, of the Huronu of
Animal Industry, who tins worked out
tho process, bus had It patented In thu
mime of the department and given tho
Invention without price to tho coun
try. In this way tho possibility of any
ono monopolizing the new treatment
will be avoided. It Is estimated that
the money loss from hog cholera
reaches 115,000,000 annually.
Reat Crop for Pisa.
In the spring aud summer, rye and
clover are used for pastures until tho
pigs weigh about elghty-tlve to 100
pounds. Then barley Is added until
somo early variety of flint or sweet
corn Is ready. Only a small field of
this last Is necessary, or an amount
sufficient to carry the pigs until the
field corn Is denting. Then the pigs
are turned in small areas of the field
corn at a time, until they nro fat IJy
fencing In and using these crops In this
order the cost of growing pigs Is re
duced to n very low figure. We know
of several farmers who are following
this practice and are highly pleased
with It
afr Corn Shredder.
As the corn shredder has killed snd
maimed a great many people, the 1k
low suggestion for reducing the danger
of using them will be welcomed, A
man who runs one of them says: "To
unchoke shredders with safety to the
feeder, take a croquet ball and saw It
in halves. Then bore a bole In the cen
ter of the flat side of one of these parts,
through to the center of the oval side.
Then Insert the end of a broom bundle
In the bole, beginning at the flat sldo.
Fasten this with a wedge or nail. Keep
this tool In a convenient place, nnd
when the machine clogt stir up the
fodder with the ball end and all Is
right again. Try It."
Feeding; Value of Grain,
The fattening value of grain depend
largely utwn the free oil or fat con
tained lu them, with their sugar,
Htnrch, etc. Ono per cent of all Is con
sidered equal to more than If per cent
of sugar and starch. At theso esti
mates (J!) pounds of corn equals 78
pounds of barley, but the barley Is
richer In albuminoids, and Is, therefore,
inoro valuable than com for the devel
opment of flesh.
Fixed Wiici ea Farm.
Fixed wages for a "day's work" Is
not the proper mode of contracting.
There Is ss much difference In a day's
work between individuals as In the
value of the products of the farm. Nor
can any method be devised for deter
mining the value of a day's work on a
farm until the labor has been perform
ed. Wherever work can be done by
the piece It should be the rule, though
this cannot well be the case on a fans.
