But no mill will do this work as it ought
TO he done

But no mill will do this work as it ought
to be done.
AS matter of fact only the grain that
grows on the lower half Of the head
should be used for seed, but that simple
statement will be all that will be neces
sary to disgust the average farmer with
the subject of seed selection. He will
not do it and we know it. But because
the average farmer will not do it, those
who are enterprising enough to do it can
build up a highly-lucrative business by
growing wheat for seed. A farmer Of
our ba t tbn ia adopted d this pan and
creased the yield but that the heads are
much longer and heavier, and the grains
much larger. Henry Stewart once wrote
that by persistent selection of seed
pedigreed variety could be obtained. He
said that every farmer, could do this, but
that few would, and that, therefore,
those farmers that chose could make
large and profitable business by making
the production of seed wheat a specially.

Sulphuret Ores.

The E]ec:-o-Che mical Reduction of
Suluhuret Ores.
Prof. Anton Graf, late United States
government expert for testing armor
plate, has invented and perfected a proc
cess for treating sulphuret ores by an
electro-chemical process which is des-
tined to reyolutionize the method Of hand
ling these ores in the future. says a dis
patch from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. The
invention has passed the experimental
stage, and Mr.. Graf is now superintend-
ing the building of battery of his cleo
tro-chemlcal furnaces at the Mt. Nickel
mine, G4O acres, situated four miles from
Sudbury, in the heart of the copper and
nickel range of Canada.
The Mt. Nickel mine was recently sold
to the Great Lakes Copper company,
which owns and operates mining prop
erty situated seventeen miles north of
Markstay, Ont, comprising nearly 5000
acres of land, upon which is found one
of the largest and richest deposits of
copper sulphuret ores ever discovered,
the deposit being ON an average 1000
feet wide and 311a miles long. After get
ting the plant at the Mt. Nickel in work
ing order Mr.. Graf will proceed to the
Markstay mine, and here will be erected
a plant which will be calculated to han
die from 1000 to 1900 tons per day.

A WILLOW PREVENTIVE.
Inc shrubs Keep the Missouri from
Shifting Its Banks

A. l.: Van Osdel Of Yankton county,
5. d., has written in regard to the OK.
perlments that he has been making in
trying to prevent the Missouri river from
washing its banks. He states that he
has planted bundles. of willows about six
feet in length in groups of three every
ten to twenty-five yards along the bank
and that the river has ceased washinp
away the dirt. He fastens the willow
bunch to a smooth wire, which is tied to
a tree, and with heavy stone alta ched
throws all over into the river. The cost
had been about $3.50 per mile. Mr.. Van
Osdel believes that the problem of pre.
venting the river from washing into the
banks has been solved for good. The ex-
periments have been watched with great
interest by the landowners all along the
Missouri river.

The Hollanders are perhaps of all the

most. The humidity OF their climate
makes it almost a necessity. and the

say that the boatmen of the trckschut,

Cofnstalk Disease.

We are asked by d subscriber If what
from feeding cows green corn fodder
Cornstalk disease is the result of cattle
eating dry corn fodder that has been left
in the fields. 1t il not definitely known
just what particular thing causes it..
Smut has been named as the cause, but
it is we'll settled that cows can consume
large quantities of smut without being
injured. The lack of water and salt has
been thought to produce the trouble, but
cows that have been supplied with these
have been attacked; and so one theory
after another has gone to pieces, until it
is doubtful if anyone can assign the
cause. DR.. Billings claimed some years
ago that he had discovered germ, and
that he had inoculated cattle with the
disease. Faith in DR.. Billings theory
was somewhat shaken by the fact that
he claimed that his bacillus was the
same as that which Prof. Burrill of the
illinois university had discovered in corn
stalks, but subsequent experiments
showed that the Burrill bacillus was en-
tirely harmless. But the main point to
consider is, after recognizing the disease,
is there remedy. The attack is sud-
den. The animal leaves the herd and re-
mains apart from it. There is bumped
appearance. indications of collie, brill
liant stare in the eyes, staggering gait,
and, if the brain is affected, the patient
will act something like horse with the
blind staggers. There: is swelling of the
joints and lameness, a symptom that Of
ten leads to the belief that the disease is
blackleg. Horses, also, are subject to
the disease, and the symptoms are almost
identical with those in cattle. The diff
Guilty in successful trea tment of the dis
ease is that it is usually too far ad-
vanced before it is discovered, to make
medication practical: If the case is dis
covered at the beginning, drench with
half-pound doses Of EPSON salts every
two hours, until the bowels move. Pre-
vention is far better than cure, and a
preventive in most cases has been discov-
cred. It consists in feeding a grain RAJ
ton with the stalks. Begin feeding the
grain ration: few weeks before turning
cattle into the field. Cattle in starved
condition should never he turnd into
stalk feld.-:Agricultura Epitomist.
