Chancellor Andrews of the univer
sity was on the train Monday and
gave the talk on seed selection nt Fre
mont. The Lincoln and Omaha dallies
also had representatives on the train.
The following Is a synopsis of the
Instruction glvon the fanners for tholr
guidance In selection of seed corn :
The average ylold of corn per aero
In Vermont Is forty bushels. The av
erage ylold per aero In Nebraska Is
thirty bushels. One would think from
those figures that. Vermont Is In the
corn bolt and Nebraska Just outside.
Wliat Is moans Is that the illHlculty
In raising corn In Vermont has result
ed In the bettor methods of culture.
If the same care were given the crop
In Nebraska , the present ylold would
be doubled.
A yield of thirty bushels of corn
per aero In most years just about pays
for the cost of raising It and for the
use of the land. Thirty-live bushels
give a prollt and forty bushels doubles
that protlt. Careful selection of seed
and good tillage will multiply the
prollts several times.
How does the selection of seed In
crease the yield ? lly Increasing the
amount of corn on the oar. There
are a number of points to bo consid
ered In selecting ears of superior ex
cellence. A cylindrical oar carries
more corn and more uniform kernels
than a tapering oar. A tailoring oar
may bo duo to kernels growing small
er towards the tip , or the dropping
out of rows , which makes irregular
sized kernels and lessons the amount
of corn.
It may thus ho soon that a taporng
ear by droppug out rows or shorten
ing ki'runls may decrease the corn on
the oar by live to ton per cent. A
rough ear with ( loop kernels produces
the greatest yield of corn. It Is ob
vious that a deep kernel is desirable ,
as It produces from twenty to thirty
per cent more corn on the same cob
than will a shallow kernel. A rough
kernel Is desirable because It is a
deep kernel. On the other hand a
smooth kernel is usually shallow.
A deep rough kernel goes with late
maturity and cannot bo used In a re
gion having a short growing season.
There Is therefore a limit to the depth
of the kernel that can bo grown In
this region , but since wo want the
corn In our main crop to occupy the
full growing season in order to give
the largest yield , wo want to grow as
deep a grain as It is possible to ma
ture. On the other hand a shallow
smooth kernel may roiiuiro the en
tire growing season for Its develop
ment without giving largo yield.
The tip of the ear should bo well
filled out with kernels. A tapering
tip with shallow kernels Is a sign of
degeneration. Such corn is In the pro
cess of running out. " The per cent
of corn on the oar is also decreased.
A well filled out butt with deep
kernels is desirable. The shank
should be small and yet large enough
so there will be no danger of the car
blowing off. A largo shank means
a largo cob with shallow kernels.
The shape of the kernels should bo
such that they lit snuggly from tip to
crown.
The kernels should not bo square ,
because they leave largo spaces be
tween the rows. You can't fit square
kernels on a round col ) , without leav
ing space. They should not bo round
for the same reason. And sliould not

ho too pointed aa they leave spaces
at the cob. They should not bo taper-
lug on the narrow side , because It
loaves spaces at the cob. i
The kernels except on the tip and '
butt should bo of uniform size. It Is
Impossible to make a machine drop
the Hiuno number of grains per hill
unless the grains are uniform. Our
experiments show that with ordinary j
corn butted and tipped only sixty per <
cent of the hills contained throe ker
nels , when It was attempted to plant
that number. The best yields of corn
can only ho obtained from a perfect
stand , hence the Importance of accu
rate planting.
In order to got nearly uniform ker
nels It will ho necessary to cither
screen the corn or sort the oars ac
cording to sUe of kernel.
There is a prevalent opinion that it
Is deslrajilo to send to a distance for
seed corn. Thin IH a mistake. Our
experiments luivo shown beyond doubt
that corn must become acclimated be
fore It can give Is maximum yield.
The most carefully bred varieties
of corn have boon brought from In
diana , Illinois and Iowa , but have not
yielded so well as homo grown corn
until they have boon raised hero for
several years. Seed brought from
Iowa and grown side by side with seed
of the same variety , but having boon
grown hero for two years yielded
much loss than the latter.
Well-bred seed corn from a dis
tance may not yield well at Ilrst , but
pure-bred seed corn if of the right
typo will prove better In the end than
scrub corn.
Seed corn should ho selected imme
diately. If loft in the crib from now
until spring the vitality will probably
decrease 25 per cent.
The corn should bo placed on racks
or hung up. It should bo kept in a
well ventilated room where It is not
likely to freeze. Do not pack It in
boxes or barrels.
Will It pay to go to this trouble ?
Wo can expect such selection to in
crease the yield at least live bushels
per acre. Suppose wo are raising 100
acres of corn. Wo would thus In
crease the crop 500 bushels , worth
about ? 200. The entire work of se
lecting and storing the 15 bushels of
corn would not take more than live
days , making our tlmo about ? 10 per
day.

HEALTH AND EDUCATION GOVERN THE WORLD
THE WEAK , SICKLY AND EMACIATED CAN HOPE FOR BUT LITTLE
SUCCESS.
BY DR. ORA CALDWELL , CHICAGO.
In compiling the statistics of the
liffcTunt races of people of thu world ,
t is of interest to note the article of
Hot , the manner In which it is take1) )
mil the extent of medical attendance
is practiced in the civilized world. It
las been demonstrated conclusively
hat the meat eaters are the strong
est , healthiest and the host educated
icople In the world ; therefore It Is
oasonablo to believe that they are the
H'oplo who govern the world. As
lomonstratcd by Dr. Caldwell , the
\merican people consume on an aver-
ige of six pounds of meat per week ;
ho English four ; the German , three ;
ho French , two ; and the Italian , one-
uilf. Statistics prove that epidemics
if contagious diseases more largely
irovall among those people , whoso diet
lartakos of loss meat and more fari-
lacoous foods. Good meat Is the most
vholosomo of all foods to bo taken.
True , It is not as fattening as the ce
reals or farinaceous foods , but it is
nero strc-ngthoning and contains more
ilooil and nerve producing elements ,
so necessary to strength and good
lonlth. What is required specially for
KTlert health is good digestion , plon-
y of outdoor exorcise and special care
as to hygiene and all the laws of na-
turo. Dr. Caldwell Is a specialist of
nany years' experience , and has de
voted much of her tlmo to the study
of diseases of the stomach , diseases
of the brain and diseases of the ner
vous system. From conclusive proof
it has boon demonstrated that a little
food properly served and well digest
ed Is far better than a great quantity
of an unwholesome character improp
erly digested.
Dr. Caldwell has boon afforded spe
cial advantages in studying the char
acteristics of the people , their diet ,
their hobbles and the special condi
tions governing medicine as a special
ty.
She has boon awarded , In contests
with the greatest schools in the world ,
the highest prize and a number of med
als. She lias been making a specialty
of chronic , nervous and surgical dis
eases , diseases of the eye , ear , nose ,
throat , lungs , diseases of women and
diseases of long standing character.
No matter how long such patients
have suffered or who has treated
them , she never failed to euro these
ailments. In over a quarter of n cen
tury In the experiment , study and prac
tice of her profession In the diseases
of men and women , she has cured
thousands who have been pronounced
helpless by other physicians. People
come to her from far and near to receive -
coivo her treatment and her ofllces are
crowded at the places of her appoint
ments and all speak In the highest
pralso of her treatment.
