R ec—— HANGING AND STOR- ING THE SEED GORN Several Simple Metheds Prove Very Succasstul, FREE GIRCULATION OF AIR —— (By L. B. BASSETT, University Farm, St. Paul.) ;The setting apart of a seed corn du for the gathering ‘of seed is impor- tant, but all time and -labor:'is of no value unless the seed is. properly cared fqr after gathering. Seed gathered early in the season in the proper way contains a very heavy percentage,of moisture, therefore requires much egre in curing or it may mold and spoil. The day corn is gathered it should be husked and put where there iy free circulation of air. The ears should be so.placed that no.two are tquching.. This methed of storing can be accomplished in several ways. The old fashioned way of staring.was, to braid the ears in long strings, and tang them in the attic. This method & very, m;stactory, ..Another method that is some{ iaes used iy to strip the oprs entirely of ticir Lusks and tle them througn the middle with binding: tyine, placing from ten to twenty oars fo:a siring. The strings of; ears aye then huag-in some place out of the sun and rain and where there is free circulation; of. afr.. Still. another method that is sometimes employed is Phote Minn.

This gives free circulation all around each ear and is a very satisfactory method of drying. Sometimes nails are driven in the wall and one ear placed on each nail. Where wall gpace is plentiful this method is con- Gucive of good results. . After hanging in any of the above described methods for two months the ears should be dry enough for storing. At this time they may be taken down and stored in a bin, pro- viding they are not piled over two or three ears deep, or they may be left hanging until ready for shelling in the fpring. In either case they must not hie exposed to a damp atmosphere, as the dry ears readily.absorb ‘moisture from the air.

Not many people guard their health so carefully as Sir Tatton Sykes, who in winter wore five or six coats: when out riding and shed some of them as he became warmer. ' Prince Poutiakine. however, took even stronger precau: tions against {llness. If there was a touch of cold in the air he had tires lit in his grounds before venturmg to stroll in them. His walstcoats were made In two separate pieces. joined at the sides by buttons, so that he could take them off or. put on additional ones without removing his coat. If cauglt in a shower he sheltered himself with an umbrella nearly two feet wide, which came down below his waist and was pierced with little windows. In very hot -weather the prince wore boots coated with tin as a protection against mad dogs, and carried sponges soaked with vinegar in his shirt front to ward off unpleasant smells. — Manchester Guardian.
