Consideration of Strength and Char- acter of Corn Stalk, Height of Ear From around and 81m of Shank Should Be Noted. nr c. P. BULi) One of the main reasons why seed corn ahould bo selected early Is to be reasonably sure It will grow the fol lowing year when planted. Early se lected seed corn is the corn that ubu , ally gives the best stand. Without a good stand It Is Impossible to get a maximum yield, and It costs no more to raise a Hold of corn with a perfect stand than It does to raise a field with a 60 to 70 per cent, stand. Every good kernel of seed corn has tn It a live, though very small, corn plant. This plant is tender and easily Injured, unless kept under favorable Ready to Select From the Standing Corn When Corn Is Selected In This Way One Can Consider the Stalks From Which the Ears Are Taken as Well as Ears Them selves. ' conditions. Seed corn that is not thoroughly dry before cold weather, will In the northern climates, freeze, which will cause the kernel to expand, thus injuring the germ or little plant, lowering its vitality and often destioy Ing it, so the kernel will not germi nate. Few farmers save enough seed corn. One bushel of shelled corn will plant from Beven to eight acres. One nun drod to one hundred and twenty se lected ears will make a bushel of sheljed corn. At this rate it will take from twelve to fifteen ears t6 plant ono acre. It should be romembored, however, that tho first selection is not always perfect; and oftentimes upon second selection and germina tion test, half of the first selection will be thrown out. Thus it is seen that thero should always be selected In the fall at least twice as much seed as the farmer expects to plant. Thero is little danger of getting too much (seed corn. Ajiy surplus. If the seed is good, can usually be sold at a fair price. In caso ono has no "special seed plot" in which his best and earliest maturing ears were planted, it is then noccssary that his seed be selected from the field. The most practical 'method to do this is to go through the field with a sack tied across- one's shoulder and select the choicest and best matured ears. Two rows of corn may easily bo examined at once. Dur ing the process of selection, consider ation of the strength and character of tho stalk, the height of the ear from the ground, and the size of the shank. should be not$d. A stalk does not necessarily have bo large to be a big producer. A H&plndllng plant lodges very eas ily. Tho stalk should be of good size and strong at the base, gradually tap ering, and not necessarily tali. Strong, vigorous stalks of medium height, usually produce the best and earliest matured ears. The ear should be at tached to tho stalk by a medium-sized fhank, which Is long enough to allow the tip of the ear to hang down. All ears In" a cornfield will not ma turo at tho same time. A variation of fifteen days in maturing of ears in a Held is not uncommon. One of the reasons why a good selection of corn cannot be made from the shock or from tho field lato in tho fall, is that one is unable to tell the time the ear matured. HELPFUL TO BEE BEGINNERS One Method Which Cannot Fall to As sist to Give Delinquent Insects Good Shaking Up. (By MRS. It. K JOSEPH.) A method I have Just learned that jsai40t fall to help beglnnors in bee culture 1b to give tho been a good shaking when they become delinquent in their work. When you move them a short distance to prevent their go ing back shake them in front of the entrance of their respective hives. The most vicious bees can be made very tame by shaking. I shake them off the comb Into a largo dlshpan. When the pan is shaken about the same as you would shake a corn popper the bees roll over In a confused mass and after a minute of shaking, rolling and tumbling they can be picked up with tho hande, providing, of course, that you do not hurt them. Profitable Industry. A profitable Industry Is being de veloped on many of the government Irrigation projects In the -production of honey, and repot ts indlcato that this honey 1b superior In quality Al falfa is tho chief sourco from which the bees secure their supply, and as It blponiB constantly from narly taring, till late In the fall, tho bees lc something to work on all the U 'i i Hows a greater nrnount t stored VtiJ P-BiJtli.-. . HIT HIGHEST MARKET PRICE Easier Done With Grain Crops Than With Livestock Animals Must Qo When They Are Ready. It Is tnuch easier, generally speak lng, to hit tho highest market prCo with grain crops ihan ft Is with live stock. There aro various powerful interests that aim at certain seasons of tho year to depreclato the prices of meat products and grain. The grain farmer la less at their mercy than tho stock farmer, .because he can, as a rule, hold his grain for a few months until tho market suits him. Tho stockman cannot do this with his cattle, sheep and swine to anything like tho samo extent. Cat tle, sheep and swine must go when they are ready for market. It is tho best thing a farmer can do to sell when they aro ready, that Is, when they havo reached a weight at which he cannot add more weight at a profit. Tho only advice that it is safo to give on this point is to avoid being a market chaser, and to sell fattened stock when It is fit to ship. Thero is a large expense connected with holding fat stock and In many In stances the market goes the wrong way. Every farmer knows that with corn nt, say 60 cents, be Is assuming the role of a speculator by holding a bunch for a higher market, after most of tho food of support and tho food of gain becomes a diminishing quan tity, diminished to such an extent that ho cannot make a profitable lncrcaso on his stock. REJUVENATE AN OLD ORCHARD Increase In Size and Color of Fruit Is Very Largely Due to Judicious Use of Prune Saw. (By 8. VAN SMITH, Colorado Agricul tural College.) Our attention Is being called every day to tho example of soma farmer with an idea, who takes a pruning saw and goes into an old and unprofit able orchard and makes it pay attrac tive dividends. Proper cultivation and spraying are important factors in such a rejuvenation, but the increase In sizo and color of fruit Is very large ly due to judicious pruning. In old orchards which have been neglected the thing most noticeable is the fact that the tree tops contain too much wood; too many limbs. Many of these aro largo limbs which should havo been cut out years ago whei. they wero small and tho shock to tho tree would not have been so great, to say nothing of the saving of plant food used in the production of Irrigated Orchard Near Montrose, Col. this superfluous wood. One of the most valuable qualities of market fruit Is good, attractive color. It takes light and plenty of it to make good color and the tree top with too many branches will keep out the sunlight and, consequently, will not 'produce well-colored fruit. In market fruit, size as well as col or is important. The tree that tries to produce too many apples will bo unable to bring them to a good size. Thinning the fruit will aid very ma terially In increasing the size, but a good deal ft work In- thinning can be saved by taking out some of the extra wood this winter. WHY THE FERTILIZERS FAIL Farmers Seem to Forget That Physi cal Conditions Are as Important as Plant Food Supply. Many farmers expect entirely too much of commercial fertilizers, writes an instructor for tho College of Agri culture, Ohio State university. They forget that the physical condition of the soil is often Just as im portant as the supply of available plant food. Tho condition of tho soil depends largely upon tho amount of decaying organic matter It contains. By It clay soils are kept loose and well aerated, moro easily drained and at tho same time capable of holding more water In an available form. They havo less tendency to surfaco washing, heaving and extremes of temperature when woll supplied with organic matter. Sandy soils are made more compact, moro retentive of molsturo and plant food. In all soils tho acids produced by the decay of organic matter are tho chief agents in getting Into usable form the plant food locked up In their lnsolublo mineral particles. If dis appointing results attended the use of fertilizers, It is well for tho farmer to ask himself If he has made suffi cient uso of barnyard manure, heavy sods and green manuring crops in maintaining the supply of organic mat ter of the soil. Drainage of Wet Lands. For thd management of wet lands the usual advice Is to tile drain them, but an intelligent German farmer now living In this country suggests that It sometimes pays better to make arti ficial ponds. In Germany, he says, an aero of ilsh ponds la often reckoned worth mpre than anNicre of wheat. Tho dams may bo built with farm labor at small expense, and the ponds add considerably to (he beauty of the scenery Very often, also, tho ponds can be uird to some extent for Irri gation, and rilujtIon vill work won tl Tfc mnz&k AJst JwaWaWaWMewSaWfflLjLffiJTTr &j'ftK Sitfr T??TTBsff Vn?l BSSsWsiittl Cmrs Chicago "Owls" Blink CHIOAGOj-Chlcago's first Broadway car ran through tho loop district tho other night, through tho La Sallo street tunnel, up Clark stroet, and out Broadway. It was the first ovl denco of tho city's 687 varieties of new Btreet names. Tho car, i'lth no sign savo the un wonted "Broadway" displayed, swung around tho loop at the alcoholic hour of 11:30, Juet when tho most people wanted a car. "Say, now, whoro'd that come from?" demanded ono night owllof an other on the curb, aa No. 210 trundled by. "Lived hero all my life an' didn't know we had a Broadway, let ajono a car line on It." Nobody could toll him. "Come on, Bill, hero sho Is I" an nounced a solf-confident man to his friend, ria tried very hard to walk" straight, and asked as he paid both tares: "Broadway car, isn't it?" "Sure," responded Conductor Reld. "Put us off at Herald square." And he pat down perfectly satisfied Down Randolph street rumbled the "Broadway" apparition, and drew up in front of tho Lambs' cafe just ae two choruB girls emerged.

Not So That CINCINNATI, O. Not long ago an aged man presented himself at tho "now account" window of a local bank and asked to hnvo his semi-annual In terest entered In his passbook. Rec ognizing him at once, tho teller on duty nsked: Aro you still retired?" "I reckon I nm, as far as ever 1 was," replied tho depositor, smiling grimly. Tho little Joke dates back a year or two to the day when tho account was opened. Accompanied' by his wife on that occasion, the aged farmer from Ohio's onion belt tendered the teller a roll of banknotes counting up In tho thousands. "How old aro you?" nsked tho clerk, pursuant to the bank's practice of keeping such bits of information on file. "Eighty-six." "Occupation?" "Farmer." "Farmer1, retired," repeated the teller and began to wrlto It so. "'Retired,' nothing!" protested tho octogenarian. "If you call working 160 acres of land being retired, then I suppose I'm retired." The teller made suitable apologies. As It was to be a Joint account, the wife also was questioned as to her age. "Do I havo to tell?" she asked. VaeeeAaiei Cleveland Firemen and CLEVELAND, O. A desire to excel in the manufacture of fly-traps Is responsible for "bad blood" between the police at the Eleventh precinct on East One Hundred and Fifth street, near Euclid, and the firemen at en gine house No. 10, next door. Sergeant Cregan, tho Thomns Alva Edison of tho forco, wearied of "shoot ing files from his faco, or pursuing them with a swattor," designed and built a gigantic fly-trap. This was placed near the front door, as the transformation of tho stable Into a vgarago had ,ollmlnnted tho busy fly from that region. T)io files began to buzz around. Charles Trump, tho Marconi of the firorpen, chanced to seo the pollco trap and went back to tho station with an Idea. The firemen contributed to a fund to build, the largest and most lethal fly-trap In existence. It was In stalled near tho stable, wherein tho Whispered Tip to Cop DlTTSBUnOH, PA.

Tho other afternoon Lieutenant of Police Charles Faulkner and a couple of "subs" were polishing their but tons In Magistrate Fred Qoettman, Jc'b, courtroom at the North Side po lloe station, uhlle tho magistrate told funny stories and drew cartoons on a pad (the court not being than In ses sion), a wild-eyed "taxpayer" pushed In and whispered to the sergeant In charge that "two suspicious negroes wero skulking In an alley off Arch street, near the High School bulldlpg."

Inquired a precise Individual ae ho held back his nickel and eyod tho conductor misplclously.. "Yes, Mr." "But I don't understand I nevor saw n car before with that name. Aro you sure?" "Vesslr make room, please, for thoso passengers." "But how can a car tako mo where I wan( to go when It runs on n street I never honru of? And I've lived on Evanston avenuo many years." All tho way out tho precise gentle man debated with himself whore that cor would land him. But there wero many voyagers who did not Intrust themselves to tho piratical-looking craft flying such strango colors. ' "Say I Whero doos that thing go?" asked ono of theso from the curb. "Right out Broadway, sir," answered the conductor. "Whornell'8 that? Don't know any more'n I did before." "Whero do you want to go?" "Evanston avenue." " "Come along this car'll take you." "Not mo. Only got ono nickel, an' no strango car don't git that." And tho cautious ono sheered off until he could find a car with a famil iar sign. Many, thinking they recognlzod something familiar about the car or crow or both, came out Into the street, looked doubtfully at the unfamiliar "Broadway," and, looking like victims of misplaced confidence, stepped back to the curb td wait for tho genuine blown-tn-the-bottlo Evanston car. Nothing less would satisfy them. Anybody Could Notice It I AlrY So OLP AS TH' OLD MAN 15 OUT I'M flcinr- "No, not unless you wish." "Well, ladles aro a llttlo bashful about telling their ago after they pass thirty." "Aw, tell tho manhow old you aro, Hannah." Tho husband seemed dis gusted with coyness. "Well." the old lady made, confes sion reluctantly, "I ain't so old as tho old' man Is, but I'm eighty-four." "And I suppose you aro retired, too?"' said tho smiling teller. "That may be your name for It, but what with tho cooking and tho house work and the milking and tho butter ing nnd all, I manage ,to keep kind of busy." Both old people are a little nearer ninety now, but seem likely to go on drawing Interest on their savings for years to como. It may be that there's something In 'Ohio's soil or air that strengthens and presorves her chil dren, at least In tho onion belt i Police in Fly-Trap Race firemen had an immeasurable ad vantage ovor tho police In the matter of files. Then, all confidence, Trump chal lenged Cregan to a fly-catching con test between their respectlvo traps. Because the firemen had the advan tage of the stable, Trump gave Cre gan a handicap of 100 files. For days firemen and policemen watched their traps earnestly. Wagers wero made on the result and In terest grew to a fever heat. Each side, accused, the other of catching flies' by hand and "stuffing" the traps. But, strangely enough, tho pollco trap continued to attract moro flics. An approximate gave Cregan a lead of possibly 2,000 flies and the fire fighters wore In despair. A terrible disappointment awaited tho pollco one morning. With the break of dawn Cregan went out to Inspect his trap. Ho sent In a vocal riot call. Tho files wero gone nnd r nervous bat wan alono in tho cage. Tho flromou laughed loudly and long, but tho pollco may laugh last. Crogan took, tho bat, chloroformed It and porformed nn operation.
