It will probably bo best for you to buy the. bout seed from some reput able breeder In your section and then legrn tlve best Scientific methods to further Improve the seed. The buy iue of tho best need from some reput able breeder In your section will rave yon suveral years of labor and eXpenpe In breeding up the seed.- However, you can, by following instructions, rapidly breed up your own corn, Flint, select stalk* that benr the ears at a moderate height on the stalks for the reasons that It 1h diffi cult to gather ears too high and the stalk is apt to be top heavy and easily blown down by winds. Second, select stalks of medium, size, gradually tapering from base to tassel. Third, with largo eared varieties, no Btalks that have more than two ears should be selected, and an effort should be made to select some stalks that have two ears and some that havir one. Fourth, the leaves should be broad and strong, from twelve to sixteen in number, and well distributed on tho stalk. Fifth, the stalks Should bo well anchored by numerous strong base root* from one to two joints above ?he ground to enable to withstand windB. StalkB free from sucKere should be selected as far as possible. Sixth, detassel all weak stalks and stalks growing only nubbins or no ears at all Just before the silks begin to show In good number. This will prevent fertilization by Inferior stalks. Seventh, the ear should bo cylindri cal or nearly so. It should be full and strong in the middle portion and the circumference should be approxi mately three-quarters of Its length. The shuck should be heavy and well extended over the end of the ear and ' closely gathered about the silk. The shank that bears the ear should be long enough to permit the ear to droop at maturity. Eighth, from ten to thirty times aa many ears should bo selected as will be necessary to plant next year'* crops. Ninth, it Is be3t to select and pick the seed corn in the field before the first frost. The seed ears should be placed where they will be kept dry, and where they will be protected from damage by weevils, rats, etc Tenth, dlirlng the winter remove the shucks from the ears of com and select the necessary number of the best ears to plant In the spring. Th? rows of kernels should be straight, and not less than sixteen nor more than twenty-two In number. The ear should be from eight to ten and a half inches long. The rsolqr of grain should be true to variety. White corn Ehould have white cobs and ' yellow corn red cobs. The tip' should not be too tapering. It should be well covered with straight rows of regular kernels of uniform size and shape. The rows of kernels should extend in regular order over the butt end of the cob, leaving a depression where the shank !b removed. The tips of the kernels should be full and strong, leaving no apace between them near the cob. The kernels should be about" five sixteenths of an inch wide by five eighths of an inch long, and about six to the Inch in the row. It is a good plan to have a special seed patch and plant say twenty-five of the best ears in this patch. Each ear should be planted in a row without mixing with any other ear. Twenty five rows planted in this way will be sufficient for the average farmer. At maturity, harvest each row separately and weigh the yields. Select the ears for next year's seed patch from the rows that give the highest yields, and the remaining portion of the rows of highest yield are used for planting the field crop. And so the work phould be continued from year to year. Ycurs very truly, I H C SERVICE BUREAU. DISK HARROW; BERMUDA GRASS The Disk Harrow Is Indispensable and Should Be on Every Southern Farm (Reply to F. I>. Webb, Lee Hall, Va.) You can not invest the same amount of money to better advantage than by purchasing a godd disk harrow. ? The difference in the working of a cutaway and a solid dlBk Is that the cutaway penetrates the ground much deeper and throws'1 it up in a much coarser condition than the solid disk. The solid pulverizes the soil much better.

Ira Wamp.lur, PurthaKe, Missouri, writes uk follows: "I wish to build a square ^ilo in one corner of my barn, but do not know the b<?st wny to pro ceed. Ativ information you can give v. ill be appreciated," The square bIIo Is fast going out of use, berauKo of the difficulty In con structing a tone In such a way as to make It profitable. Several years ago, or. In other, words, when silo building was In Its Infancy, a good many square Bllos were constructed, but they were soon abandoned for several reasons, mainly because It was Impossible to prevent leaking at the sides, and sec ond, the Rlliige spoiled in the corners. The next step of advancement was to board UP the corners, which made the silo more of a round structure, and the latent development has been the round fillo, which is considered far superior to the square type of con struction. , We are sending you under separate cover our farm barn plans, and you will note that there is a plan for a silo. This Is a concrete silo, which is sim ilar to many that are being built In various sections of the corn belt. When properly constructed, the con crete silo Is more permanent than the wooden sllos^ and preserves the silage equally as well as the other types. -The first cost may be a little bit more, but tho permanency offsets this ob jection. There is another type of silo ?whfc'h Ib being buil$ very extensively throughout Iowa, which Is known as the Iowa silo, and is built of hollow tile or hollow building- blocks. For further Information on this silo, we BUggest that you write to Professor I M. I... King, Ames, Iowa. SEVEN C(*MMANDMENT8 OF AL FALFA GROWING.
