This may have been doho at husking .time or the grower nia'y hfive goho through th® field earlier in the season, choosing the largest and best developed ear?. Ttfv care of' the seed corn from now ok la very important, says Orange Judd Farmer ia giving the following hints aa "to what tills should he. In the first place, see that It is nor thrown la * pll!. If this is done? it Will mffc dry on* thoroughly and uniformly, and in spite of every precaution, enough moisture will reihara either in,the'cob or in the grains to (work great injury when the coldest weather . of winter comes. Where a small quantity of seed only i r desired the ears may bo hung up to rafters In outbuildings or may be spread over the attic floor oneyar deep. The storage place must.be kept as free from dampness as Is possible to make' it,' |f It is In a room throijgh which a cljlmney or stovepipe passes, the condi* • tions are almost Ideal, provided proiier. ventilation IS given, it eim remain ip. a place like this all winter if care is taken to keep out rats and mice, a great many farmers k ing up the seed corn by leaving, a few lvusks on at gathering time. This of course can only lie done If seed is wanted for the home farm. '. . Where com Is grown for Beed on a commercial basis the same precautions - .must be exercised in drying. If space J is not available for spreading it out oa ] : a dry floor, put Jt in small crates hold- - *imr not, move than a bushel and with at COLORADO PRODUCTS, ri- - ' < least one Inch of. space “between the slats. Put these on racks under a shed • where there is a free circulation of a ir .. If the seasob. Is dry, there will be no. trouble in, curing this seed com per­ fectly, but if It is damp a greater part of the time before coid weather sets ia, It wilt, pay to -place tho crates in a ’ room whence artificial heat can be used ‘for drying, A large stove in ,a granary. dr workshop will furnish enopgh heat -' to dry out several hundreds of bushel* , a t a time. As soon as tbe moisture ha* been removed the corn can. bo placed ip a granary or under a shed, still lteep- - ing it in' the crates, and a fresh supply put into the drying, house. t Many seed growers not only dry their corn thoroughly in the fall, bnt Store It where .the temperature will not get much below* the freezing point during the' entlrte Winter,, Tho garret of a large ,house will answer well enotigh and some growers have even used » dry cellar, claiming that the seed kept there had a high germinating power. Baying on a hoard floor is ‘usually ob­ jected to, unless it happens to he th«- floor of an attic which is always dry. I t is not-advisable to Shell seed com until It Is nefeded In spring.

An Englishman writing of the cattle Industry in Kansas, Oklahoma, etc., ■s&yss Tlie amount of grazing in each district varies widely. In the arid r«P glons Of Mew Mexico it is not safe ta allow* less than SOacres to each animal, .although in a very wet season good grazing may be obtained. In the. Fan- handle district of Texas 10 to IS acres are usually enough, While in the blue ■stem country three or four acres a head are sufficient. what wo need in Kansas is- not nc-"e •blood* in seeds nor seeds from other states or unhides, but a careful selec­ tion and, breeding up of plants that hftvtl.filfeady become acclimated and thrive under our conditions,says II, M.

It. will displace Early Win-, piugstadf,. which has been almost ex­ clusively grown here for market. The flat varieties have not been in favor for several years. The.lfiOi) tomato did well here. So did the Quarter Century, both introduc­ ed by Philadelphia seedsmen, Admiral Dewey potato la tho best yielding early potato we ever saw in our lfigears’ experience as market-gar­ deners. In melons the New Triumph surpris­ ed the natives last year, although It was a complete failure the year before because q £ tlie variety not being accli­ mated, Tbe seed had been obtained direct from tbe originator In Florida. East year a single vine nurtured over 200 pounds of melons. The New Har­ ris melon Is also a 'good one, growing to a large size, but is not as early .as claimed by the introducer. It ripened about with Dixie here, , Extra Early Dlrlgo beet Is as early as-the Egyptian and of, better shape, with finer flavor.- , The Schumacher Celeryis strict!j first class, a .strong, robust grower nnd .a splendid keeper. A*bunch of 12 stalks exhibited at the fair Here weighed 34 pounds. The New Mexican pepper is truly a monster. I think it is too large for mangoes, It Is as early and prolific here as Rui>y King,. In fruits there are the Triumph and Greenqboro peaches, Both have fruit­ ed here this year- and people were as­ tonished at their early ripening and fine size. ■There Is about -a week's 'differ­ ence -I ul ripening ' between Alexander and Triumph. The Willard and Red ,fiune plums fruited for the first time , 1 The former was the largest and earliest by eight days. Willard. Is tbe strongest and thriftiest gibwerr-has the best foliage and holds Its fruit better'than Red June, Judging both from their first fruiting we would select the former as the best plum. Wilder Early, Koonce and Kleffer., pears favored us with, a few" specimens each last year,, The-first named was the largest of tbe three and the best flavored. We were again disappointed In the size of the Kleffer; thtnlc it re­ quires very strong soil and high cul­ ture. None of them was as large even as Wilder Early... i ' In apples we fruited for the first time Gano, Delaware Red Winter (also call- ed Lawyer), Arkansas Black and Mato- .motli Black Twig, The first two and the last are very fine. Lawyer espe­ cially is pf very best quality and no apple looks nicer, Arkansas Black,, while of good quality, la too small for., fancy market, By tbe way, Champion peach has fruited here for three seasons and Is pronounced by all to be the best flavor­ ed peach ever tn'sted.

During the latter part of 1800 heavy cattle Sold very well, and many, were Induced by this Jfaet to make heavyweights during Iasi year, only to be met by the remark, “Too heavy,” when they reached the market, and when the. timc for Christmas, cattle ar­ rived In 1000, while steer# weighing from ,1.350 to 1.500 were .selling from |0 to $7.50, the very finest 1,700 to l,0oo pound cattle had to go from $5 to $5.40. ; ..
