SAVING AND DRYING SQUASH SEED. 
To have squash seed worth saving 
one should plant a good strain of seed in 
a plot widely separated from other vari¬ 
eties. Next, when the crop is harvested, 
select such squashes as are typical of 
the variety in shape and color, and show 
much indications of maturity and ripe¬ 
ness. Fig. 97 shows a good Hubbard 
squash, though shorter stem and blos¬ 
som ends are common. Fig. 96 shows 
a Delicious and a Fordhook squash of 
desirable shapes. So much for uniform¬ 
ity of shape, size and color. All 
squashes intended for seed should he 
subjected to a test for quality on the 
table, and any not up to the standard 
rejected, seed and all. In November or 
December the seed of most kinds of 
Winter squashes will he fully matured 
and filled out plump so the seed saving 
may be started. A broad hatchet, a 
straight corn knife or something of the 
sort may be used to cut open the 
squashes, and a large iron spoon to 
scrape out the seeds. With the Ford- 
hook squash it is an advantage to fer¬ 
ment the pulp somewhat, hut the proc¬ 
ess should not go too far or the seed 
will he injured in germinating ability

and appearance. The other squashes 
mentioned, and field pumpkins, need dif¬ 
ferent treatment, as the pulp is much 
different, the seed being readily sep¬ 
arated by a combined washing and 
squeezing process without fermentation. 
The Fordhook seed must he thoroughly 
washed whether fermented or not, and 
if unfermented much more washing is 
needed. The washing is best donq 
in boxes six inches deep and 18 or 20 
inches square, having for bottoms wire 
screen with meshes suited to the size of 
the seed being cleaned. The larger the 
mesh the more readily the pulp may pass 
out. Such boxes provided with a how 
or hail of wire so they may he hung up 
are handy to dry them when artificial 
heat is used, as is necessary in Winter. 
The screened box is nearly filled with 
seed and pulp placed under running 
water, preferably, and the mass stirred 
with the hands and squeezed until the 
seed is well separated from the pulp. 
Many of the larger pieces may be picked 
out, though a large part will he washed 
out through the screen. 
When properly cleaned, the seed may 
he put in dry screened boxes and hung 
up to dry near a source of heat, hut not

so close that the temperature will go 
much above 100 degrees. The seed should 
dry sufficiently in four or five days to 
store in mouse and moisture-proof re¬ 
ceptacles. When dry enough, the seed 
will snap off short when we try to bend 
them and have no pliability at all. If 
saved from sound squashes and not al¬ 
lowed to get too hot while drying, or 
not kept too long, squash (seed) should 
give a good germination test. If there 
is any doubt about vitality place 100 
seeds between several layers of moist 
blotters or other paper, keep pressed to¬

degrees) for five or six days, and then
