There is diversity of opinion among
stOckmen concerning the danger of feed
ing snutty corn to stock. Thousands OF
stock of different kinds have been fed
smutty corn without any apparent injury:
yet occasionally some feeder reports sick
ness and death among his stock, which he
attributes to this cause. 1t ~ doubtful
II there is sufficient evidence at hand to
justify anyone In giving IN opinion of
any special merit. As good authority
as any on this subject says 1t Is barely
possible that the smut fungus at times
may become virulent and dangerous to
the health of the animal, but surely Its
general prevalence shows that such u
change In character IL very rare.
Professor Henry, of the Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent Station, says he has frequently
recommended through the press that smut
he fed In limited quantities, urging that
the animals eating such injured grain be
closely watched, and the feed changed IL
evil symptoms appear. He says he always
asked for reports II anything wrong hap
pened, and has never yet received an un-
favorable report. He says few years
ago he tried feeding corn smut to cows
one of which refused to cat the smut
quantity, while the other consumed II
peck daily of carefully cleaned corn smut.
This cow was gaining rapidly IN flesh,
when suddenly she was taken with some
apparent brain trouble and died. Lack
lid experience, he made a post mortcin,
but unfortunately did not follow II up as
he should have done. No animal, ne
thinks, could eat any such quantity Of
smut, unless II was n steer or COW. spend.
ing most of its time In the stalk field
searching for the smut There Is scarce
liz wear that there is not more or less
smutfy corn. and II would seem, therefore,
that If the limited quantities taken In Or
DIARY feed are very injurious, more fire.
ouent complaints would be made. We
would be pleased to have the views and
experience of feeders on this subject.

That Troublesome Meringue.

The secret of making the meringue
for lemon pies SO that it stands tall and
thick is in the baking. Whip tho whites
Of the eggs to a froth that will not fall
out of the bowl when turned upside
down. Put in about q tablespoonful Of
granulated sugar for each white, stir
very little, spread it on the pies when
they are just done and still baking hot
without taking them out Of the oven
and let them bake with tho oven open.
If made hot enough to brown, the me-
ringue will surely fall and become
worse than nothing. Five to ten minutes
is enough to bake the meringue dry and
straw colored. Sift granulated sugar
on the top Of the meringuo as soon as
spread ON tho pie before baking. Phil
