Shortage of good seed corn in many parts of the Northern States last spring" emphasizes the importance of being prepared next year. Preparation should begin now, for the only proper way to select seed corn is from the standing s'alks as soon as the corn matures and before the first hard freeze, say specialists of the United Slates Department of Agriculture. Select plenty of seed? enough for vour own needs, for re planting if necessary and to supply your loss thrifty neighbors who may wait until spring to take their chances of getting good seed from the crib. Well-chosen, hopic-grown seed of varieties of proved worth in the community, properly dried immediately after it has been gathered and carefully preserved until planting time, produces the best yields. siiHft hu-[).>.>? Ob | As soon as the crop ripens, says the department, go through the field with seed-picking bags, and husk ears from the stalks that have produced the best com without having had special advantages, such as space, moisture, or fertility. Avoid the large ears on stalks standing singly with an unusual amount of space around them. Preference should be given the plants that have produced most heavily in competition with a full stand of less productive plants. Late-maturing plants with ears which are heavy because of an excessive amount of sap should be; ignored. Sappiness greatly increases the weight and is likely to /IaoI i?mr f mini Stir vn,n vi u> me uuaiit^f , Advantage of Short Stalks. In the Central and Southern States, all other things being equal) short, thick stalks are preferable. Short stalks are not so easily blown down and permit thicker planting. Thick stalks are not so easily brokrn down, and in general, are more productive than slender ones. The tendency for corn to produce suckers is hereditary. Other things being equal seed should be taken from stalk:, that have no suckers. Immediatloy after the seed corn igathered, the husked ears should b put in a dry place where there i.1 free circulation of air and placed in such a manner that the ears do not touch each other. This is the oni> safe procedure. Good seed is icpeatedly ruined because it is thought to l)e already dry enough when gathered. Many farmers believe that I Why H K Suffer? b Wy Mrs. J. A. Cox, of Al- /S | t/J derson, W. Va., writes: /yk I "My daughter . . . suf- y \y fcred terribly.

Seed corn in every locality gathered at ripening time will be benefitted by drying as suggested. If left in the husk long after ripening it may sprout or mildew during warm wet weather or become infested with weevils. The vitality of seed is often reduced by leaving it in a sack or in a pile for even a day after gathering. During warm weather, with some moisture in the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or mildew in a remarkably short time. The best possible treatment immediately after gathering is to string the cars. Ordinarily the best place to hang strings of ears is in an open shed or loft'. Wire racks are more convenient and in the end cheaper than binder twine. Such racks may bo made from electrically welded lawn fencing. The cutting of the fencinc into seed-corn racks is done without any waste. Using Heat to Dry Ears. Only during unusually damp weather at seed-gathering time will fire be necessary to dry the seed. If heat is employed in a poorly ventilated room it will do the seed ears more injury than good. If used, the fire should be slow, long continued, and be'ow the seed ears, with good ventilation above them. After hanging in the shed or lying on. the ra"ks for two months the seed ears should be as dry as a bone and contain less than *10 per cent of moisture. Thev can remain where they dried or be stored in mouseproof barrels, boxes, or crates during the winter, but in either case jthev must not bo exposed to a damp atmosphere for they "will absorb moisture and be injured. Some farmers place the thoroughly dried seed ears in the center of a wheat bin and fill the bin with loose dry wheat. Precautions Against Insects. In localities where weevils and grain moths injure stored grain, the thoroughly dry seed ears should be stored in very tight mouse-proof receptacles with 1 pound of moth balls or napthalene inclosed for each bush el of corn. This quantity tightly inclosed with the corn will prevent damage from these insects and will not injure the seed. If at any time signs of weevils or grain moths show on the corn, it should be inclosed with carbon bisulphid in practically air-tight rooms, bins, boxes, or barrels for 48 hours. The bisulphid should be placed in shallow dishes or pans on top of the seed. One-half pint is sufficient for a box or barrel holding 10 bushels or less. One pound is sufficient for a room or bin 10 feet each way. After fumigation oars must be thoroughly aired, taking care that no fire is present when the fumigating box is opened. i HAVE YOU BEEN SICK? , I Then you realize the utter weakness , | that robs ambition, destroys appetite ; | and makes work a burden. , To regain your strength nothing has ever equaled or compared with Scott's Emulsion; its blood-enriching proper1 ties give energy to the body while its tonic value sharpens the appetite in i a natural, permanent way.

M. Mile- j and Miss Caroline Alston, will toll of 4 the uses to which these grapes can be , put, and will demonstrate what de- j licious products may be made of them. The first of these meetings ji was held Wednesday afternoon at . James Island, at the Agricultural Hall, at which Miss R. L. MeLcod pre sided and Miss Alston demonstrated making grape juice and grape mincemeat of the luscious muscadine grapes that grow in this section. What is a muscadine grape? It m a grape of which two varitics are J native to and thrive well in this sec- | tion of the country. They are the | j Thomas, a red gVape, and the Seup- j j pernong, a white grape. To eat these j grapes just as they are i; a d d'ghl-i ful pastime, but their maximum I'oo ! qualities can be effected by modern , handling, and tin4 members of the j home demonstration clubs are learn- j ing valuable information tins month, j These muscadine grapes may be can- ; ned in the usual way and made into preserves, jelly, grape juice or syrup, , and grape mincemeat. Grape Mincemeat It won't require an epicurean of keen imagination to realize what a de lieious article grape mincemeat is when made according to the following recipe: One cup of water to every quart of grape pulp and juice; boil until soft; cover hulls with water; boil violently until soft; press pulp through a colan dor to remove seeds; then mix pulp, juice and hulls which have been put through a grinder, add pulp of one lemon, urround rind of one lemon! odd |one nutmeg (grated) and one pint of sugar. Boil until thick, and seal while hot in sterilized jars. Grape Juice Those who have a preference for grape juice, which at one time promsied to become the American national beverage, and which is a practical beverage at all times, can have a refreshingly flavored grape juice by following those directions: Add one quart of water to each gal Ion of crushed grapes and boil violently until thoroughly cooked; that1 j is until easily stirred and of even con- ! | sistency. Then pour this liquid into a thick flannel bag and let it drip into a porcelain vessel until all available juice is secured. Bottle in stertilized botles and process with loose j corks for ten minutes, then seal.

MORE LI HERA 1, USE OF FLOUR ALLOWED Further explanation of the new wheat flour regulation, which proi vitles for an 80-20 manufacture and | distribution in place of a 50-50 ratio, ; effective September 1, is made by the | food administration for the benefit i of retailers, distributers or consumers who may have on hand a floui containing 20 per cent, or more of substitutes for wheat flour. This is to the effect that such flour may be used or distributed without the addition of the additional 20 per cent, substitute flour. Where any mixeg flour contains less than 20 per cent, ol cereals other than wheat it is the order, of the food administration that one pound of substitutes be sold and used with each four pounds ol wheat flour. The previous rules limiting millers, whclsesalcrs, retailers and bakers to 30 days' supply of flour are changed to permit of a 00 days' supply. The rules limiting sales by retailers of wheat flour to one-eighth of a barrel to persons residing in cities and one.(|U:irter of a barrel to persons 1 iv jiug in sparsely settled districts, ar' rescinded. The rule limiting th1 . ale of flour by millers to wholesalers, or wholesales to retailers, in combination with substitutes or certificates thereof, and the rule restricting the sale to 70 per cent, ol previous saios, are rescinded. 1 ... o ....

Failing sufficiently to stem the even flow of Franco-American divisions toward the Aisnc with machine gun clusters, whirlwinds of shrapnel and high explosives and thousands of gas shells, the enemy has been obliged to counter attack with all his might.

During the first two days of our pursuit of the fugitive Roche to the Aisne our eastern flank was exposed to the enfilading fire of a most dis| agreeable nature. This now has been quenched, and both Beauregard Farm and the Village of Romain made uninhabitable for the foe. First Wave Broken. The waves of the first German counter attack, launched by the 4th Guards Division, broke impotcntly against the breakwater of our resisti anee. In only a few spots did the Prussians get far enough to engage our infantry, and then they were , badly worsted with the bayonet. We ' bagged forty-five prisoners, includi ing two officers, in the course of this ; fighting on the plateau southeast of Glennes. l I saw a gang at divisional head1 quarters later on. They were a hus3 ky looking lot and from all reports i made mighty good soldiers. One of 3 the officers is a grand-nephew of the * famous Prussian General, Count von , Alvensleben. A Lieutenant in a crack artillery regiment of the 1st Foot - Ghards, he tripped into the chamber \ where he was to be interrogated J wearing a monocle and plain yellow - gloves. He had been captured in an infantry observation post just behind the German advanced line. Both Non-Committal. Loth he and his fellow officer, who was an infantryman, were non-committal about the stand their compa! triots would make on the Aisne, but ! agreed that the Chemin-dcs-Dames I would be defended at all costs. "(Jn1 loss developments to the east necesi silate a change in our plans," the infantry officer qualified. This is the most definite information we have obtained pointing to a probable wthdrswal at least as far as the Chemin-dos-Oames Other prisoners corroborated their superiors' statements in this respect. Most of them expressed indignation that the 4th Guards should have been kept in line continuously since .July 21. Many of ther com papa nies, it seems, are reduced to less than fifty men.
