Smutty Corn and Steers,

There is scarcely year that there
is not more or less smutty corn. We
would be pleased to have the views and
experience OF feeders on this subject in
| the Farmers Review. Having fed
thousands OF steers in twenty-five years
successfully, without losing steer
from this smut: we tasted it to know its
flavor; not using narcotics or spirits
we found it had the flavor of cornmeal
dry ground. Hence we stacked the en-
tire seasons crop and let it sweat. We
feared spontaneous combustion, but the
wind changed daily. and cooled the
stack to the windward, and thus pre-
vented spontaneous combustion
Stacks. one rod wide at the base, two
rods long, ten feet high, setting slower
at an angle of forty-five degrees, like
roof. built at one-half pitch. 1t saved
dry. sweet and clean. Last season we
fed no husked corn in the ear, with very
little hay, thus reducing cost, buying no
ear corn. The average steers weight
was less than in other years. The pro-
fit equal. or nearly so, because no ear
corn was bought. They were fully ma
ture, nne, TAT and fieShy.

High Headed Orchards--Every year
a great deal of fruit is lost by heavy
winds blowing it from the trees. This is
before it has attained full size. This is
partly due to the fact that trees are
generally headed too high, a relic of
times when the high branched tree was
cut up until team could walk under it
to pillow and cultivate. If the orchard is
headed low there will be little growth
under its branch, which when loaded
with fruit will frequently be bent down
until they touch the earth. The fruit
on low trees is easily gathered from the
ground or with short step ladder. II
there were no other reason for low
heads in trees this of ease in gathering
the fruit would be sufficient to make II
always advisable. No kind of stool,
should be allowed in orchards excent
pigs. Cattle and horses will eat both
leaves, fruit and branches as high as
they can reach, and to get the fruit ont
of the way of being eaten by stock
seems to be the reason for the high
pruning and heading of many old Or

Prof. Knights Report Upon the New
Enterprise.

Reports from the soda well at Green
River continue to demonstrate that the
owners have developed a bonanza and
that At the rate Of 1922 per tor the wa
ter will yield about $50 a day to its
owners
Prot. Wilbur c. Knight OF the Wyo-
ming school OF mines. in his report to
the owners, expresses the opinion that
the we'll will be Of greater commercial
importance than the average oil well
for the development OF which the en-
terprise was launched. In his report to
the owners Prof. Knight says there is
extent Of the discovery can be fully
relied on. and that is to pump the
well and learn IL the water will retain
the large percentage Of soda and at the
same time furnish a large amount Of
water. Should the water grow slightly
weaker 1t will still be rich enough to
pay for evaporation and pay a good
dividend upon a proper investment.
Under existing circumstances I recon-
mend that you first test the quantity
Of the water with a pump and at the
same time TAX samples at intervals
and have them tested for their soda
contents. In case the solution remains
about the same and will furnish say TO-

which are in your way.
Many specimens of worms and the
larvae of insects are not provided with
eyes. Their habitation being in the
earth, eyes to them would be useless.

exactly alike. An examination with a

many differences between the two.
When the under arch of the upper
eyelid is perfect semicircle it is In
dicative of goodness, but also of timidi-
ty, sometimes approaching cowardice.

sufficient for distinct vision.

That Common Trouble, Acid Dyspep-
STA or Sour Stomach
Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.

Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heart burn or sour stomach, is u form
of indigestion resulting from fernent-
alton of the food. The stomach be-
ing too weak to promptly digest it,,
the food remains until fermentation
begins, filling the stomach with gas,
and bitter, sour, burning taste in
the mouth is often present. This con
dition soon becomes chronic and be-
ing an every day occurance is given
but little attention. Because dys-
pepsia is not Immediately fatal, many
people do nothing for the trouble.
1t is now we'll known among able
physicians that the whole constitu-
ton is gradually undermined and
weakened, that the nerves and vital
organs are seriously affected by any
form OF dyspepsia. This is plain, us

is nourished by the blood and the
blood is replenished from the food d.
gested. II. the food is properly di-
gested the blood is pure, the nerves
steady, but if supplied from sour,
fermenting, decaying mass, the blood
is vitiated, poisoned and the result is
shown in sleeplessness, lack of energy
poor appetite. nervousness. Every
trifie is magnified and the dyspeptic
sees nothing but the dark side of
everything.
Within q recent period a remedy
has been discovered prepared solely
to cure dyspepsia and stomach troub-
les. 1t is known as Stuart's Dyspep.
STA Tablets and it is now becoming
rapidly used and prescribed as radi-
cal cure for every form of dyspepsia.
1t is not claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia and stomach weak
ness in its various forms, but for this
it has been shown to be unequalled
The eminent specialists, Reed and
O'Leary, have recently stated that
they considered Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets an unfailing specific for dis
orders of the digestive organs, and
the remarkable cures made in cases
of long standing dyspepsia proves
that this remedy has extraordinary
merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been placed before the public and are
