Olson, ol the Minnesota Agricultural college, in the Da kota Farmer, explains several methods for protecting seed corn from mice. As they are quite ap propriate at this time, we reprint them for the benefit of our read er J: iJj.O" of the requirements in the wfnler storage of seed corn is to have it stored beyond the reach of mice. Many a bushel of good seed corn has been completely de stroyed during the winter by the depredations of mice. There can he no excuse for thinking that the mice may not find it. " They in variably tlo find it, and unless it is amply protected, serious dam age is hound lo occur. The only advisable course lo follow is lo nrennre for I hem when the corn is put in storage. "If the corn is stored by hang ing it up with string or Iwine, it is a good plan to stretch several lengths of strong fence wire in the store room, and suspend Ihe where it is stored on corn trees. the lower portion of the upright should be completely wrapped with tin for a few inches, or circular niece of tin filled about this lower portion. "Anolher good method of stor age is to make up several crates and line I hem w ith w indow screen. They can be made up any size, preferably about two feel by three feel, using four-inch fence board material in making them. By making Ihe sides comparatively open, it permits a good circula tion of air through the crate, and still the linings will prevent any damage from mice. Good seed corn deserves ample protect ion."
