A. T. WNTAINCKE.) F~itst, I would say, begin corn breed ing work 1uon a small scale. I would emphasize th!s becasie you can give a. small plat more attention and it is better to make a big improvement in a small lot of corn than a small hi provement in a large lot. A small plat planted with the few very best earo will produce enough to provide a flne quality of seed corn for the gen eral crop the following season. To heg~n with, you should secure a fe.w god ears of the very best va riety for your conditions. If you have not already got it, it may be advisable to Conduct It small variety test of those varieties which appear to suit your conditions. In this prelIminary work the varieties should be planted side by side tnder the same conditions and a careful study of each iade. Having selected the variety with which you wish to begin, give up all others and keep the varIety pure by careful selection and keeping the breeding plant. isolated so that pollen from other fields cannot reach it. You ean always find a spot upon the farm wl:ere a small plant can be iso lated. There are just as good rea sons for keeping a varIety of corn pure as there are for keeping a breed of live stock pure. For the breeding - plat we should always celect a good, clean pieco of ground, where the corn can be given thq very best attention. Don't be afraid of spending too much time on this small plat. If you use the pro duct as seed for the next year's fle'd crop, you will be many times repaid fcr the extra trouble. . Plant each two ears in alternate rows and detassel all the rows of one of the cars, to prevent in-breeding, and select seed for next year's plat from the detasseled rows. All breeding should be towards a single, defilnito' type. In carrying'out this we must keep ih mind the size, form and color of the ear; the form, depth, shape, roughness and hardi ness of the kernel; the covering of butts and tips; the time of maturity, etc. The character and size of the stalk and the root and leaf develop ment, as well as the position and char acter of the shank, must also be kept In mind. A good, vigorous stalk may make the difference between a good and poor crop, esp~ecially when sea sons are unfavorable. Producetiveness must, of course, al ways be a leading Interest and all batren and wveak stalks should be decstr-oyerl before they shed piolien. The car-eful cotrn breeder shotuld be personally acquainted with each and every stalk in the breceding plat andI a record of the pedigr-ees of each se lected for seed in the breeding plat should be kept.

Tihere are many varieties of Ilrussels spi-outs, but one will have no dilliculty in securing a satisfactory -variety as most all ofthem are. ds~ro, PLAN FOR SEED CORN HOUSE a Detailed instructions Given for Con struction of Building to Be Sot on Concreto Piers. The small seed corn house shown in the accompanying diagrams should be built at least 3 feet off the ground 1111d set on concrete piers. writes J. 1)wight Punk in the Breeder's GaizettQ. The building is 16 feet square and 10 feet from floor to square. There are live rows of piers 4 feet apart and the viers are 4 feet apart in the row. .9, rro Front Elevation. Five GxGs, which are 16 feet long, aro laid on the fivo rows of piers. Sills iinswer for joists. The floor is of 2 inch stuff. 1'he studding are 2x6 inches and are spaced 2 feet apart. The rafters are 2x4 inches and spac ed 2 feet apart. Shingles are used for the roof, which is one-third pitch, and there are two ventilators in it. The studding is 2x0 inches and 10 feet i long, making 10 feet from floor to square. There are two rows of up rights from the floor to the rafters, V the uprights being 2 feet apart nud the rows 4 feet apart; each row is 6 feet from the outside wall. Alake ' floors of wire cribbing every foot from tle floor to the square between the studding and corresponding rows of uprights, using 2x4s on which to lay the wire cribbing. Theso 2x-i sup- ' ports aro 2 feet apart in each floor. The floors are 1 foot. apart. Place a 6-inch board at side of each floor to T keep corn from rolling off.
