Cost of Handling Ear Corn.

A gentleman from the country says
that the cost of carrying ear corn one
year, or longer, is probably greater than
many figure it, on account of the
shrinkage. For instance, the cost of
1000 bushels of corn at 81 cents is 1910;
interest at per cent. for a year, $147O;
expense of crib, $50; cost of the corn at
the end of one year, $244.7O But it is
estimated that the shrinkage will
amount to 20 per cent, or 200 bushels;
therefore, there will remain but 500
bushels to sell. So $244.7O actually rep
resents the cost of 500 bushels at the
end of one year, or a fraction over 80
cents bushel, without figuring any
thing for insurance or risk in holding
showing that 81 cents now is equal to
about 80 cents a bushel one year from
now.-Farmers' Review.

spring he thought he would add few
hens to his stock; he already had a
dog. He set couple of hens, and in
time had two large broods of chickens.
He was very proud of them, but in a
week or so the chickens began to die.
He called in a neighbor to look at the
chickens and offer advice. They were
certainly pretty scaly lot of chickens
that the neighbor viewed. They were
skinny looking and apparently with

The Best Ration for Horses.

Bulletin 20. of North Dakota station,
details experiments with various win
ter rations for horses. These trials
prove that chopped wheat is a good
ingredient of u mixed ration, but not
a good ration to feed alone. Also,
the bran and shorts mixed in equal
weights are nearly equal to oats.
Also, that low grade and even rejected
wheat makes better horse feed than
the best grades, because richer in nitro
gen. With oats at IS cents per bushel,
bran and shorts are worth ten dollars
per xon; with oats at 25 cents, bran
and shorts are worth SIS per ton, for
horse feed.

NEW CHOLERA CURE.
How West Virginia Physician Cured a
Lot of Chickens,

How a West Virginia Physician Cured a
Lot OF Chickens.
Several subscribers have asked us for
a cholera cure, and we suspect the dis
ease is quite prevalent. We take
pleasure in giving the following letter
from a valued correspondent in West
Virginia. He says: Il am a physi-
clan, country doctor, with two acres
of land and several hobbies, one of them
chickens. Four years ago cholera
broke out among my flock, and l tried
every remedy could think of. Finally,
l took some antiseptic tablets, consist
Ing of $40 grains corrosive sublimate
and 3 As grains of citric acid in each
and dissolved one in one gallon of boil
ing hot water and gave as a drink.
Cholera-stricken fowls will drink if
they do not eat. From that on lost
but one or two that were too far gone to
drink, and in another instance, where
1 found it present, repeated the treat
ment with equal success. Since then I
usually give it once month as a pre-
yentive, continuing it for three days.
If occasion offers, l would like you to
try the remedy, and if it is a success in
your hands it could be incorporated in
future edition of the Bicycle Poultry
Book. The tablets are deadly poison
used, as of course you know, as ex-
ternal applications in solution in surgi-
cal cases. The good, if l am correct
in their doing this good, lies in the anti
septic action of the corrosive sublimate
the citric acid merely favoring the
solubility of the tablet; the tablets 1
advise because of the dosage being
certain. Farm Journal.
