"One of the esentials of profitable l <'orn growing is proper selection of I j peed. Stalks of the predomiitaiing i ! type in the row or field should he chosen, if equally resistant and welloared as others. Ciet the form of the idp.nl stalk well fixed in your ; mind, and look for It. Remember the type from year to year and don't j clmiiere unless you should change to i a different strain or seed variety, j -?"t Mon't wait until all the corn is in the crib to select niv seed for next year's planting. If you do you will i fail in the crop The staadipg plant w ill answer the que "ion as to whether the selected ears have come from good , stalks. T always try to he sure to get plants that grow not ]e>. . than two or not more than three good ears to the stalk, and not no re :k tn half-way up 111e stalk. I select the well-filled oar.-, not too largo nor too small; but medium size, ami sound. The rluu k should he loose on the grain and should ha?ve a who'osome look. I tilways try to select my seed corn frotn the stalks standing where thev grow, as soon as ripe, and h. 'ore tlie first herd fre*/.e. I select ears from th? stalks tltat have produced the most corn without having any special advantages. such as. space, moisture or fertility. The most important consideration is to select seed from those plants which have the ability to furnish the largest quantity of dry shelled corn. Marly maturity is a desirable cunl.'ty, and so are short, thick, wind.'irni stalk- ; top-heavy ones with ear* borne too high are likely to mean 1UMSCH. "I collect mv plan's that bear piv seed oars .and cut off tho (op and bottom av< harm ;lu part on \v., i n the oars arc 'a net'., in some com v?nier.? place in the crib or tern. This will 1 cop .11 mind how tho plants looked in the Hold. "I go through my corn and cut tho diseased and stunted stalks about 1 July llrst or August til. t. so as to pro- 1 vent crossing with tho Rood stalks ! that are to furnish my sood. Now, : if I am going to plant on upland I do not use seed that has been long j grown on lowland, and if I am going , to plant on lowland. I use my field so- | leoted seed that has given best results on that kind of land as far as possible. | * I plnnt seed that grew on the. same1 type of soil that I am going to culti-'1' vate. I always try to procure my * seed from corn that la known to pro- 1 duoe large yields.

Lice j ve continuously upon the birds. The | mmon .nite feeds upon them on the >osts at night, and after feeding seeds itself in the cracks and crevices bout the roosts. There are many different kinds of .ultry lice. Those most common on *wls are--the body louse, yellowish < i color ami about one-tenth of an ' ich in length, which remains on the tin < f \!.( ! ?\vl; the shaft lous- , jinewhat smaller and very pale in dor, which is usually seen on the lafts of the feathers: and the head use, a large gray species which :>l est frequently observed on the ? ads of young chickens. Lice are not usually very abundant i r. healthy fowls which are kept un-j er sanitary conditions and provid -lj 'ith dust baths. They multiply rap j My upon birds of low vitality and 1 luggish temperament, and are qui k .* distributed through flocks una remises where attention to chanli-| ess is indifferent.
