WHAT CAN BE DONE BY AN EAR OF CORN

Actual Test in the Field Is Only Sure Way to Find Out If Ear Will Reproduce as Good Corn as Itself—Boy's Remarkable Results.

The Mother Ear and Five Daughters, First Season.

By P. C. TOPF,

Iowa Agricultural College. After all, if we could ask an ear ot corn about two questions. It would be an easy task to pick the best ear of seed corn. Starting with a good ear let us ask It, first: Will you yield well? Second: Will you reproduoe ears as good or better than yourself? Experiments have shown that ears of corn have different a*bllltles to do these things and that they vary just as much as do animals. It has been further shown that the appearance of an ear Is not a reliable guide on these points. The actual test In the field Is the only sure way. We wish to mention briefly how a boy got some remarkable results by this method.

When the boy's and girl's work began In the spring of 1909, Earls Zeller of Cooper, a thirteen-year-old boy, planted ten good ears In Individual rows for an "ear to the row test." He planted about one-fourth of each ear and the remainder was saved on the cob. The ears were good ones, the samples having won premiums at several shows, but no one of them had any prolhise of being a better producer than Its mates. When harvest time came In the fall, young Zeller found that ear No. 7 of his plot had yielded 118 bushes per acre. Not only did It have this bumper yield to its credit, but he also noticed that this row had produced ears that were remarkably ilke the ear from which the row was planted, or the mother ear. He selected five good ears from this row and these with the mother ear he showed at the joint contest at Ames in January, 1910. They won the

NEW VETERINARY EQUIPMENT

grand championship from a large number of entries. This was a good test for one year. If this could be repeated and results obtained for another year It would be a double test. I'hat Is what Earle Zeller did. In the spring of 1910 he planted a row in his breeding block from this same ear he had partly used In 1909. Last fall he found that It had this year yielded 116 bushels per acre and had retained the same uniformity In Its offspring that It had shown the year before. He again selected five ot the best ears from this row and exhibited them with the mother ear at the junior contest at Ames in January, 1911, and for the second time won the grand championship in this olaas.

The value of such an ear of corn oan hardly be overestimated. Think of having a bushel of such ears, or enough to plant an entire crop. This ear has proven that It will yield, and there la every reason to believe that Its progeny will be heavy yleldera also.

In a year or two this boy can have several bushels of seed from this ear. It is safe to say that in every farmer's seed corn there are eara that will produce from 20 to 50 bushels per acre more with the same stand than other ears which may look just as good. The only method of finding these is to plant a number of individual rows each year and weed out the ears that do not produce. It Is the same process that we use with animals when we discard the poor breeders.—Iowa Agriculturist.

will make a practical application of the theoretical knowledge possible. That the division of veterinary medicine can be of inestimable value to the live stock industry when once properly situated. Is an undisputed fact. Thousands of dollars' worth of valuable live stock is lost every year as a result of preventable diseases alone. The frequent outbreaks of mould poisoning among horses is but one of the many examples of the preventable losses. The great progress made In recent years in the prevention of hog cholera is another example of what can be done by thorough scientific work along these lines. This discovery alone Is destined to save the hog raisers of this country millions of dollars.

The preparation of qualified Inspectors to guard the public by rigid inspection of meats and meat producers is a task which falls upon the veterinary colleges of this country. Thousands of men are already employed by the United States government for this work and the eradication of contagious diseases In the western part of the United States.

The largest and most important question, that of tuberculosis in domestic animals, must be solved by a co-operation of the veterinarians and the live stock Interests. It is a question which must be solved by education accompanied by reasonable legislation.

These and many other questions must be solved and with new equipment the division of veterinary medicine will be in a position to take a leading part In their solution.

The laboratories will be equipped with the most modern and up-to-date equipment and the cMnlcal building will contain all the modern conveniences for the care and treatment of diseased animals. The wards will aocommodate, when completed, about 70 patients, including kennels for dogs, cow stalls, et*.

In another year Iowa State colleg« can pride herself In having one of the best equipped and most up-to-date veterinary colleges of this, if not of all countries.

BEING

I BUSINESSLIKE

When the delivery man had pocketed his bulging book and gone pounding on his way, the oldest daughter of the house shrugged her pretty shoulders and returned to her guest in the parlor. "Business is a great fraud," she declared. "I've always said so," responded her friend with some emphasis. "I've just signed an expressman's book to show that I've received something," the daughter of the bouse explained. "Now, why sign? I don't know what's in that box. It's large and heavy, but It may be empty. And yet a delivery man would drop dead If you stopped to look Inside before you signed. No one ever does." "Certainly not," said her friend, warmly. "That would be quite unprofessional. What that box contains in a small matter, after all. The point Is, did it come? When you are as old as I am, my dear, you will begin to understand how many yards of red tape men need to be truly businesslike. They put up an appearance of great caution—" "And do the saddest things ever heard of!" "Exactly. Leases that everybody breaks—" "Checks that any one can cash—" "Contracts that no one pays any attention to—" "Deposit slips that you always lose—" "Passes for the bearer only—but any one may be the bearer—and cards not transferable—" "Adele, I'm so glad to hear you speak so," cried the hostess. "I've always believed that business was so much pretense."

"A most cursory knowledge of business methods—improperly so called— shows how shallow they are." "I'm so glad you feel as I do, Adele. It's such a comfort to hear you express those convictions. Father has always scolded us girls for not being businesslike, and I've always tried to conceal my ignorance more or less. It seemed such a matter for scorn." "Scorn? My dear," salj} her friend in a tone of finality, "business Is incompatible with high thinking." "Adele," said the girl suddenly, "how do you send money.." "Seal it up," snapped her friend. "How else?" "You darling! Of course how else! But as long as I can remember, whenever we sealed up money in an envelope and father found It out he would throw up his hands and Implore the fates to help us. Then he has gone about for days after, uttering Instructions about 'money orders' and registered letters! But neither Ethel nor I had ever paid any attention to him until last summer when I went to the country. It was very funny. "I had been away only a short time when Ethel wrote in a rather superior tone that she had sent me a registered letter for $10. Just as if she had been in the habit of doing those things every day of her life! The money didn't surprise me, you know, because she owed it to me. But 'registered letier' sounded entirely too ambitious for our little Ethel. "Well, I went down to the postoffice every day for a week. Insisting that there was a registered letter for me. The postoffice there was a poor excuse of a place, and It had a lot of suspicious looking clerks. So when my letter was overdue I just drew myself up and insisted that the letter was there, and so was the money. But they did not seem greatly excited. "The people of the town began to Interest themselves in my financial condition. It was rumored that I was expecting a lot of money that hadn't come, so I had to spend money lavishly to show that I didn't really need it. Then I wrote Ethel that something was wrong. And I didn't hint that it served her right. "Her next letter was suitably humble. She couldn't understand what was the matter, but she inclosed a little paper, which, she said, the man at the postoffice had given her as a receipt for her money. She said she had given my name and address quite plainly and she suggested that If 1 showed the receipt they might be able to trace the letter. So down I went to the postoffice with the little paper. 'Here's the receipt,' I said. Then, Adele, you never heard such a noise as those crazy men made. You'd have thought they had been saving up that guffaw for the best part of their lives.

"As soon as they could frame words they asked me In a sort of chorus what I wanted. Naturally, I told them, when my sister had given my address and paid her money she expected that it would be sent to me. I can't tell you all they said. They showed me all the reading matter on that paper, which was enough to drive any one Insane. "But it seems, Adele, that after giving your money to the clerk at the postoffice you have to send on the little receipts yourself and put the person that gets It to the trouble of having It made back into money again. Could anything be more roundabout?" "Then you haven't seen the new forms for money orders?" "Don't tell me—" "I won't. Only they've added some other kind of ticket—which makes three." "Goodness, Adele, what'B the point? But tell me—If all that performance Is only a money order, what In the world' t* a registered letter?"
