Selecting and Saving Your
Seed Corn.
Noiv is the time t ? oUct .m i
s v-' > < ur sett! com, be'ore it is
gahend and hot s * I. Go into
your li Ids and choose 'he be>?
ear from s'aiks having two ears.
Gather onlv uniform, well-filled
ears, where die tips are well
covered with grains and ihe
grains have uniform lypo and
the rows ol grains are close au?i
run parallel. I' is u<?t the size
so much as this unilorm, vigor
ous, fruitful type that you wish
to preserve. Seel selection is
not the "whole thing," as many
seem to stress, but it i-r a very
important factor in securing
large yields. So, all farmers
wno wouia neuer ttieir condition
shou'd avail themselves ol every
help. It is very important that
we do this kind of work; it indicates
that thoroughness so essential
to a high degree of sue
cess We believe farmers outrht
to get new seed from time to
time, from those who make seed
selection and breeding a specialty,
but at the same time all farmers
should take pains in the
selection and care of seed on
thvir own iarnu. We need to ,
raise our standard higher, in
every feature of our farm man
agement. Have a place for
keeping seeds aud save all the
best seed you can, of every sta- (
pie viri ty used upon your ]
farms ?Southern Cultivator.

many. '
A good flock of layers well <
managed should bring in money
every day, ami save the waste
product about the farm.
Guineas ought to appeal to the j
lazy, siucethey need no protection
and will thrive if they roost
in trees all the year round.
It is well, if one is s inclined;
to raise both chickens and ducks,
buljit is a serious mistake to feed
and water them together. <

Some of the Many and Varied
Uses to Which Salt is
Put.
(From tho Family Doctor)
Salt oa 11 almost be regarded as
a p-nacea, so many and vatied
are i's
We are told that it com es
the pal i e and lurrei tongue,
;n d * g,r*de of sail and water is
Often efficacious.
A pinch ot salt ? u .'he tooRne,
followed ten minutes afterward
by a diink ot cold water, often
cures a sink headache. It hardens
i:ums, makes teeth white
and sweeteni the breath.
Cut (1 >\vers mav be kept fresh
bv adding salt to the wa'er.
Weak ankles should be rubbed
with a solution ot sail, wa
ler and alcohol.
Bad colds, hay lever and kindred
affections may be much re
lieved by using tine dry salt like
snuff.
Dyspepsia, heartburn and in
digestion are relieved by a cup
of hot water in which a small
spoonful of salt has been melted.
Salt and water will sometimes
revive an unconscious person
when hurt it brandy or other remedies
are not at hand. Hemorrhage
tr<fm tooth pulling is stopped
by tilling the mouth with
sail and water.
Many public speakers and
singers use a wash of salt and
water belore and alter using tlie
voice, as it strengthens the organs
of the throat
Salt rubbed into the scalp or
occasionally added to the water
in washing prevents the hair
tailing out.
Feathers uncurled by damp
weather are quickly dried by
shaking over a fire in which salt

Silt should always bo eaten
with nuts, and a dessert fruit

Keep Money in the Bank.

industrious and thrifiy negro ol
