PLACE FOR SEED CORN
One of Most Important Factors in
Increasing Yield.
Three Accessary Conditions for Stor
ing Air Circulation to Carry Off
Moleture, Even Temperature
and Early Selection.
After time has been spent selecting
seed corn, It would be folly to store It
In a place where It would not keep.
Freshly gathered seed corn should not
be left In piles in a warm room, or on
the floor. It will either sprout, mold
or do both. Always store seed corn
where there is a good circulation of
air, so it will dry out quickly. Never
leave it in boxes, In piles, on the
porch or in the barn. It should be
taken care of at once.
There are only three necessary con
ditions for storing seed corn; and, if
these are followed, one may be rea
sonably sure that 95 per cent or more
of his corn will germinate, provided
It was properly matured. First, there
must be a good circulation of air
about each ear, to carry away the sur
plus moisture. Second, a temperature
must be maintained above freeilng
luntil the seed Is thoroughly dry.
Third, seed corn must be selected
early enough so that It may have
plenty of time to dry before cold
weather.
Many devices, easily and cheaply
built, are now In use whereby circu
lation of air can be secured around
each ear of corn. Four very desirable
methods of storing seed corn on the
farm are here suggested. A frame of
Seed Corn Tree Very Good Device on
Which to Store 8eed Corn.
Zx4s may be build, about four feet
square. Braces should be nailed on
each end, to make the frame stand up
right After this has been done,
stretch chicken-wire over both sides,
nailing It securely; using care to
make the meshes on both sides to cor
respond. In each mesh can be placed
an ear, no two ears touching. In case
chicken-netting Is not available, nail
boards over the frame, drive ten
penny finishing nails through the
boards from each side, and Jab the
ears on the nails, butt first The nails
should "lant up slightly.
Birds Spread Hog Cholera.
, Buzzards, crows and other birds are
active agents in the spread ot hog
.cholera. They visit any place where
there Is carrion or offal of any sort
land they have thus been known to
transport bog cholera germs for long
distances. All bogs, therefore, that
die should be burned or deeply burled.

He Could Wield an Ax.
The skill of the old Maine shlpbulld

was wonderful. One old time yarn IB
of a carpenter who applied very drunk
at a shipyard for employment, in or
der to have a little fun with him the
foreman set him to give a proof of his
skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with
no chopping block but a stone. The
carpenter accomplished his difficult
task without marring the keen" edge of
the broadax and sttowed the foreman
a neatly made bolt Then he brought
the ax down with a terrific blow that
shattered its edge upon the stone,

blamed if I can make the ax stick in

"No, I am not a chess player, and

"It is simple enough," said. the land

Judges' Wigs.
The wig is pnl) worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, Judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The cus
tom was originated by a French Judge
in the seventeenth century when, hap
pening to don a marquis' wig one day,
he found it gave him such a stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear it at
all times in court- This he did, and
the result was so satisfactory from a
legal point of view that not only the
judges, but barristers also, took up
the custom throughout Europe, Lon

The Tibetan penal code is curious.
Murder is punished with a fine vary
ing according to the importance of the
slain, theft by a fine of seven to one
hundred times the value of the article
stolen. Here, again, the fine depends
on the social importance of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer of a thief is looked
upon as a worse criminal than the
thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are .still, used as proofs
of innocence or guilt, exactly as was
the custom in Europe in the middle
ages. And if the lamas never inflict
death they are adepts at torture.
