Picking Seed Com. he time for picking seed corn is hére soon, and every farmer should not forget to pick his seed corn. fol nest year, not only for the reason of haying it ready for plagting time, buf when you have to buy it, you ly do not know what you get un- i you buy it from a nearby neigh bof who picks off some to sell. In buylog seed corn in town you are very apt to get seed that bigs been raised further south than where you are situated, and when you plant "this seed you will be almost sure of getting a great deal of stalk, but the ears will not mature, Here in the northérn part of Min nakota we need not complain of toc short seasons for corn it we plant ac climated seed, and that is very eas) for any farmef to do. This is done by picking off your own seed fron your field, drying it well and keep ing it in a dry place during winter Too many farmers say, 'I haven't time to pick off any seed corn," but that is a very foolish idea. Any far Farm News and Views. Professor Shutt, of the Canadian department of agriculture, who has given much attention to the subject of ashes as a fertilizer, says: Good samples of commercial wood ashes will contain, as a rule from 5 to 6 per cent. potash, and from 1.5 to 2 per cent. phosophoric acid. We have frequently in our publication called attention to the fertilizing values of good work especially as a source of potash. Without unnec- essarily repeating what we have said as to the composition of ashes and the crops for which they are best suited, it may be advantageous to point out that while the commercial value of ashes will depend upon the potash and phosophoric aeid con- tent, the material vaule will be con siderably higher The presence of a large amount of lime, the mild al kalinity of the ash, the particularly combinations!in which two elements of plant food are held, are aliun doubtedly, factors and enhanced the value of wood ashes as'a fertili In other words the benefits derived from their use include, in additiofi to the supplying of mineral plant food, the correction of sources, he conversion of injurious iron com pounds into harmless forms, The encouragement of nitrificatign and the general improvement of the tilth the soil.

Seed corn is not so hard to keep as some people seem to think if.you dry it good after it is picked; the only thing to do after that is u keep it in a dry place. A great mistake is to pick off the great big ears for seed; take only the average-sized ears. and as near like each other as possible in shape and size, shape of the kernel, as well as the color. ; If every farmer would take a few hours as soon as the corn is ripe enough and watch out before any frost has touched it, there would be no need for buying seed corn next year, injudy Exercise and pure air are good animal as food.

Among the most trustworthy scientific measurements of ocean waves are those of Lieutenant Paris of the French navy. The highest waves measured by him were in the Indian ocean between Cape of Good Hope and the island of St. Paul. Thirty, waves measure during a northwest galé the averaged 29% feet in height, and six of them, following one another with beautiful regularity, were 371% feet in height. Some still higher waves were seen, but not measured. In a moderate breeze the length of a wave was found to be about 25 times its height, but in a gale only 18 times. ==London Globe.
