Profit by Experience

Farmers will remember the difficulty they had last spring in securing good seed corn, many having to plant two and three times before they had a “good stand.’’ The result is that a great deal of corn throughout the whole county was not sufficiently advanced when the frost came, and no doubt there will be much unmerchantable corn harvested this year. Tbe question now is, will farmers profit by the experience bought at such great cost? We urge upon to go through their fields early, select the ripest ears of corn, haug them in some dry, cool place, until they are thoroughly dried. If this is done there can be no danger but the seed will germinate.-r— [Fowler Era. lo learn to do the littles is the true way to the doing of the great.
