SELECTING SEED IN THE FIELD
In reply to an inquiry in another place,
T gave some suggestions in regard to
selecting seed corn in reply to "T. Al.
I~i." 1 wish to emphasize, if possible, the
importance of making careful selections
of seeds of all farm crops every year.
In this way '•-very farmer may secure and
perpetuate the very best types of every
kind of crop grown on the farm. It is
wel] to leave the business of hybridizing
and cross-breeding to professional horti
culturists an 1 nurserymen; but the far
mer should habitually practice the care
ful selection of his seed corn, seed cot
ton and other crops that are produced
annually from seed grown at home. It
is. not sufficient to simply select from
the corn crib the best looking, soundest
and largest ears of corn. That is all right
if no effort I'.as been before made. But.
the proper time and place to make the
.-eleclion is ;-.t o** before harvesting time
and in the field.
In selecting in the field one is almost
compelled to rely entirely on th* judg
ment of the eye, but there Is away io
verify such judgment by an appeal to the
steelyards and half bushel.
Tli*- cotton harvist is now at hand, and
now is tie* tim* to commence the work of
improvement hy selection, before any
bolls have been harvested. The plan Is
this: Go over a body of tb.<* best cotton
you have and select say ten or twenty' or
thirty or other multiple of t**n of the
stalks that in your judgment aie the
best, according to your ideal or notion
o: what is best Os . oars*.* the main
thing Is to get the most productive or
prolific type, other considerations being
-.-eondary. Now set a tall stake by each
of these selected stalks, or tie a piece
of white cloth m* a white paper bag
over the top ,f each stalk, and tag each
with a shipping tag and consecutive num
ber. Provide also a cloth or stout paper
sack large enough to hold Ibe entire
product of i single stalk and number
the s <, bags to correspond to the numbers
given to the Stalks. Provide also a small
paper bag’ iarge enough to hold ter,
bolls or hss. one of those tn go with
each larger hag.
Having th* stalks thus selected and
marked beforehand you n*-cd not be In a
hurry about picking the cotton front
them. Wait until several bolls have open
ed on each stalk. The work shorn*! then
commence. Select from each stalk the
very best bolls, according to the judg
ment of the <ye, -av two. four, five nr
ten. or oven one only. Os course tins
select! >:t is not n--eessm l!y made, and
certainly not completed, when picking
ov. r the first time. Not* the number of
bolls sell u-l for the little bag. Put
the remainder* of the bolls in the large
hag, noting also the number of bolls thus
gathered Continue the pm-ess until
the last i.o'i has op* n- d and been g ither
•d. At the close* of tlx harvest you
will now have (It a large bag for each of
tho selected ton. twenty or other nmn
b-r of stalks. ~,n t .lining all the product
of the particular stalk and a register of
the total number of bolls represented:
(2) a smaller bag inclosed In th.- larg. r.
ontaiiimg a small, known .-in,l recorded
number of the choicest bolls from each
of th** selected stalks.
Now weigh the produet of each stalk
and by a simpl. < .item ition you get th.*
number of bolls per pound. The actual
weight Os tho product of each stalk will
give Die comparative productiveness of
.-.mb.stalk, p.y this time it is probable
tl.it you may rei*-. t altogether all but ,i
half dozen, nr less. <.f the stalks originally'
s-lected. You may even cull out until on.*
stalk alone shows a very decided su
periority in th.- more essential points of
merit. Possibly there may be s.*verai
stalks at this stage Hint may b.* so mat y'
l.alan.- d th.it a ginning test will be neces
sary. This is tl;.* most tedious and
troublesome test. But if the bolls that
w. re put in the small bag were kept sepa
rate (as may be easily be done bv wrap
ping each In a piece of paper) the ginning
Os on. or two bolls may bo done with the
fingers, and thus d-termine tho yield of
lint per hundred weight of seed cotton.
So nt the last the selection will have
st-ecltrens of the lint of the most prolific
stalks which may bo tested bv a textile
expert. Having reduced the s.-lection down
to the best stalk, and having all the sods
from that stalk, and the seeds from two
or <hree or more of the best bolls, tho fu
ture work is plain. The bulk of the see.is
from tho whole number of stalks may be
planted "to themselves" next year to
supply- seeds for a much larger area the
third year. The seeds from the few bolls,
from tin* best stalk, should be planted to
tin msolves under the most favorable con
ditions possible and the process of selec
tion 1..* repeated the next year, and so on.
It is not expected that every farmer
will t:'_ke the trouble to go through with
all tho above details. P. rhaps one out ot
a thousand may do so; while many others
will adopt only the general features of
the plan. But 1 am confident that an in
telligent effort in the direction indicated
will bo followed bv beneficial results.

SELECTING SEED CORN.
T. M. Dantzler. Dantzler. S. C.—l come
to you seeking information as .to tiie im
provement of'seed corn. My purpose be
ing to increase its productiveness and tho
perfecting of a true type, having for its
peculiarities these qualities, viz: Short,
stout stalk, ears set low on stalk, ears
of good Size, having a deep, dent grain.
I 1 purpose selecting from the field before
harvesting such stalks as 1 want, five or
six times as much corn as 1 want for
I si <,l and then at planting time rcseleet
| such oars and grains as I want from that,
i You will oblige me and others of your
readers in this section by answering the
' foiloyving questions. Please answer them
I seriatum.
1. Should T select from short, stout
stalks in order to get stalks of the same
kind ?
. 2. In the selection of cars, should t
I take the top or bottom ears, or both.
i which? (I notice the top ear is generally
, | the largest).
> | 3. Will the t iking of ton ear have a
'tendency to make the corn ear higher
’ I Up the stalk or not ?
I 1. Having notice. 1 , that the planting of
’ j er-rn thick lias a tendency to make st.-Hks
• 1 taller ami ears smaller, is there any dan
-1 , g.-r of the orn degenerating because of
■ 'this and losing it“ former productivity as
4 jtvgards the individual talk? Pb'iise give
’ ! me a very explicit answer on this point
’ |.’i‘- I believe corn should be planted thick
" ier than has been customary. Os course
■ ' I take it that closer planting (alls for
- ! more thorough preparation, cultivation
. land fertilization, ('to.
• ■ With great care in selection and al
' 'ways having a certain idea as an objec-
-five point, how many years would it take
1 j to perfect a type of corn?
I ’ I'b ase answer this as soon as possl'de
1 las corn harvesting is near. With best
. wishes for your success.
' \m-w.r 1 >ake a: i-'H pleasure In r l '-
- plying seriatum to your question'*, not
! ti nt you personally need much, If any,
t j lurthcr assisra’iee, hut for the benefit of
'ethers. Every farmer should select his
s. . d corn every year (and every ear l
’ j from the field

I b-vond the convenient ability of a small

■ .--mil ea-e Is substantially the smite, and
'consists in two or three small farmers
i clubbing together, or in one man buying
I a good portable outfit and doing the work
i for tim neighborhood as is now being
I done in many places.
I p u t i believe it were better for the

stuff be simply thrown into the stalls for

of geuing the stalks out of the way
of tho next crop. But of course you
would not have to throw it away, even
if not -diredded. Many farmers tn the
northwest have sot a life-time followed
the practice of feeding th, uncut stover,
or cutting with a hand or small horse-
| power cutter. The shredder, however, is
| almost Indispensable to getting the stalks
Into the condition in which cattle and
' horses will readily eat the same. The
i best plan is for the farmers in a nelgh-
■ borhood to either club and buy together.
or, better, induce one man to buy the
outfit on the agreement to employ him
; to do the work for the- others at so
much a ton or so much a day.

, PARALYSIS OF HIND PARTS OF
| COW.
J. T. R.. Prairie, Ala.—Please answer
tiie following question: I have a Jersey
cow 10 or 12 years old. She dropped a
calf on the 2d instant and on the 9th I
found her so weak she could hardlj- get
up hili and part of the time she walks
as if tho right hip was hurt, and until
I this evening I thought that it was In
I the hind parts, but this evening she io
real weak all ov°r; fell to her knees
twice tn driving her up out of the pasture.
She is very hearty all the time, but
hates to move. Please write at once and
give trouble and treatment.
Answer—l think your cow has what is
called paraplegia, or paralysis of the
hind parts, a not very uncommon occur
rence after calving. Give her 1 pound of
; Epsom salts in half gallon of water.
I After it has moved the bowels freely
' prepare and give the following: Four
ounces pulverized nux vomica, 20 ounces
-of bi-carbonate of soda; mix and divide

' PECAN CULTURE.
G. W. Sledge, Duck Hill, Mlss.-Please
let me give my experience on the culture
of pecans for the benefit of D. P. Cabe,
Otto, N. C., and the readers of The Con
stitution. Just before the civil war my
father, G. W. Sledge, planted some pe
cans in our garden, and when they were
- 2 years old we moved all but three. These
three have been bearing for over twenty
live years. Those that we moved died,
except one. and it is large and fine look
ing, but has faulty, worthless pecans
! every vear. This tree is on good land.
I can’t tel! why the pecans are .worth
h ss, I now have a young pecan grove
. of ninety-seven trees on good branch bot
. i tom, from 9 to 11 years old. Last ) e;i r
i ten of them bloomed and bote large-sized
1 pecans. This year forty-eight bloomed
, and are bearing. They were planted 3D
' feet apart each way In the fall, rig.it
where I wanted them to stay. I have
quit trying to raise cotton—not a stalk
- but am trying to raise everything «jlse.
I ought to have quit it ten years sooner.
Most of our farmers here will soon be too
I - poor to raise cotton.
NO NAME.
' ; “Subscriber," Cabal, S. sends a

■ : venting injury to corn by bud worms, cut

a hole in the bottom of a barrel so as
i to draw off the ooze; cover the bottom
. with straw ami fill the barrel two-thirds
full of stable manure and let it soak
twenty-four hours. Then draw off the
i xv.iter and put on corn you intend to
, plant. Let It soak over night and th'n

■orn in a little manure water twenty
four hours will "keep bud worms, cut
I worms, crows and other birds from both

riously bad In gardens heavily dressen
with stable manure. The recipe Is totally

JOHNSON GRASS IN WYOMING.
Roland E. Burbank. Douglas, Wyo.l
have a ranch on a dry creek on xvhich I
cut. about 20 tons of hay and cut over
40 acres to get that.. Mo§t of the hay is
full of fox tall, which cannot be fed to
horses. Do you think Johnson grass
would grow' here? It is about 3 feet to
water? Would it kill Bit fox tail? When
would be the best time to sow it in this
climate? We usually have our last frost
the middle of May and thg first one in the
fall, about October 1. You will oblige me
greatly by answering thesa questions In
The Constitution.
Answer—l am not prepared to say
whether Johnson grass would succeed in
your climate. “There's nothing like try
ing," however. 1 am quite sure that It
would not succeed without plenty of wa
ter. If it will grow freely I have no
doubt it would .kill out the foxtail. It
tin- 'at.ter Is xvhat 1 have always known as
“foxtail" (setaria giattca, an annual
grass), there should be no particular dif
ficulty in getting rid of It by simply mow
ing it before the seeds mature.
If you can control Irrigating water it
would be w 11 for you to try alfalfa (lu
cerne). which has succeeded so well in

FISTULOUS WITHERS, POSSIBLY
GLANDERS.
W. D. McE., D'Arbonjie, La.—l. Please,
ten me what is the matter with my horse.
He is 9 years old. Two years ago he had
foot evil in right fore foot; got all right
and I have plowed him all this year.
Last May he was lame three days. I
bathed his withers in apple vinegar, as
I thought it was a sprain from plowing
in new ground. He got over the iame
ness in throe days and in a short time
after that I noticed an enlargement in
front of the xvithers on the top of his
neck where the collar works. It seem.-s
to get larger, but it don't seem to be
sore. H-> don't flinch when I press on
It or ride or work him. Some say It is
fistula. Do you think so or not? If so.
what is th,' best remedy, or can it be
cured, and how' long will it take to cure
it? Is a horse any account any more
after having fistula? (2) He has also got.
a cough; had it ever since last winter.
He also has a discharge of the nose.
It was a thin, watery discharge ;>t first,
but now if is a thick substance. Is it
catarrh? If so. what Is the best remedy
and how do you use it? His appetite is
not good except for green food or grass.
Answer—(l) The symptoms as given by
you indicate that the swelling or en
largement In front of the withers may
eventually terminate in a fistula, xvhich
Is a deep-seated running sore. The aim
should be to ".scatter" the inflammation If
possible and so avert the fistula. Th-'
following treatment is recommended for
a threatened fistula: Bathe the part with
cold water for twenty minutes at a time,
three times a day. and after each bath
ing apply a piece of woolen rag over the
place and keep it saturated with a lotion
composed of one-half ounce of acetat-’
of lead dissolved in one quart of water.
After thr-'e or four days rub In well over
the swelling a blister ointment made by
mixing together two drams of canphor-
Ides and one ounce of lard. Rub In a
little with the fingers. After twenty
four hours wash off and grease with
lard. Repeat the blister every two weeks.
The effect will be either to scatter the
inflammation or hasten tho formation of
matter. If a part of the swelling be
comes very soft and the hair drops out
It is then in condition to be, opened with
a knife. Examine the opening (after
cleaning it out W’i-th a syringe and water)
with a probe and find the direction and
depth and remove any foreign substance
or pieces of bone that maye be found.
1 hen dip a piece of soft cotton rag in
butter of antimony a,nd press it down to
the bottom of the opening; then draw it
out an,! put in another. Let this last
remain for several hours; then withdraw
it. and let the sore alone for three days;
then repeal. Treat each opening, 'if
more than one. In the same way and con
tinue every third or fourth day until all
unhealthy tissue is destroyed. Then
dress it daily with a weak (5 per cent)
solution of carbolic acid and water. (2)
I cannot say whether it. is catarrh or
glanders. Better have a surgeon to sea
him.
LUMPY JAW (ACTINOMYCOSIS).
P. IL Rogers, Lometa. Tex. -I have a i
fine Jersey cow five years old; is milking, i
About six weeks ago I noticed a lump I
on her left jaw just on the rounded part i
of the upper jawbone; it enlarged until I
the size of a goose egg. when 1 blistered i
ft with the liniment composed of oil of i
spike, 1 ounce; oil of sassafras. 1 ounce; I
oil of pennyroyal, 1 ounce; oil of •
tine, 1 ounce; corrosive sublimate, 11-2
ounces. After two applications, I stuck |
my knife in the lump and it run a great i
deal of matter and yellow water. Up to i
the time I put tho liniment on the lump |
was hard and is still a little hard. It j
has nearly al! gone away, but now' I no- -
tice a lump on the right jaw doing the -
same way. What is tho best thing to do j
for it? Some say it is what, is known i
as "big jaw,” and that it sometimes lasts
for years before it kills. She has Tail.*
very little in her tntik and does not seem i
sick at all.
Answer—There Is no doubt that the dis- |
ease is what, is commonly called "lumpy I
Jaw." but more correctly actinomycosis.
It is very good practice In the early
stages, and when the turner Is not at
tached to the' bone, to cut out and re
move it entirely; but when attached to
the bone, and especially wlien in a mor-'
advanced stage, the proper treatment,
and the one that has In al! cases given
the best results, is the administration of
iodide of xxitassium in one dram d->:-*s
every morning and night for three xveeks,
tn a’bran mash. If during this time the
animal's eyes should get watery and a
good deal of saliva run from the mouth,
stop tho iodide for a few days and then
commence again. Also rub the lump
once a week with a little of an ointment
composed of one dram of biniodide of
