FEEDING MOLDY CORN.
A PernIcious Practice That May Re-
suit in Serious Intestinal and
Nervous Disorders,

There is a great deal of moldy corn
this year, and it revives the discussion
that arose two years ago, when there
was considerable loss from spinal men
nights in cattle. The fall was wet that
year and much corn nodded, and the
popular belief was that the moldy
corn was responsible for the disease.
The Indiana experiment station in
vestigated the matter thoroughly,
feeding active growths of the bac-
terium ard mold found in the corn,
to two horses, injecting the same un-
der the skin, etc, without producing
the disease, though some disorder of
gums and mouth resulted. Finally
the horses were fed all the spoiled
(moldy) corn they would eat. The
first three days they ate of it greed
fly, but after that it was with diff
Guilty that they could be induced to
eat any. This produced some disor-
der, but the horses quickly recovered.
One horse was killed, but post NOR
tenn failed to discover any LESSONS. In
none of the tests was cerebro spinal
meningitis induced by moldy grain.
The report says: ''The results of the
experiment show that inoculations
with cultures of the bacteria and
molds were ineffective. Eating of the
mashes containing pure cultures
showed that only in the case of
growth of species of fusarium did
any intestinal disturbance follow, and
that in one case the feeding of the
Totted grain produced considerab BILE in
testinal disturbance and some nervous
symptoms, but that the disturbance
was light in the other" 1t appears,
therefore, that while many of the
cases of sickness in stock attributed
to eating moldy corn are due to other
causes, the continued use of such food
may result in intestinal and nervous
disorders of serious nature.-Prai-
rie Farmer.

WHEELER WAS TOO POLITE.
"Fighting Joe'' Lately Found
Himself.

At Washington the other day it was rain:
ing hard and the street cars were crowded
with passengers more or less bedraggled.
Among them was Gen. Joe Wheeler. Next
to him was a woman wearing macintosh, !,
who rose to get off at Fourteenth and i
streets. Gen. Wheeler noticed an umbrel-
la leaning against the car seat
He grabbed the umbrella, ran after the
woman, caught her at the door and saldi
Pardon me, madam, but you left your um-
brella."
The woman looked puzzled, but took the
umbrella. Gen. Wheeler resumed his, seat.
Then a woman on the other side Of him
gave a little scream and said: "Why, you
nasty little man, you gave that woman my
umbrella" Then she appealed to the con-
1uctor.
Gen. Wheeler apologized, but the woman
said: "Now you just get right off the car
and get it for me or I'll notify the police"
Meekly the veteran of three wars
tumbled off into the rain and ran after the
woman with the macintosh. He made a
hurried explanation, got the umbrella and
rushed back to the waiting car
AS he handed it back to its owner he said:
II trust you will pardon me, madam. / as
sure you it was all a mistake"
The woman gared at him. "I don't
know about that" she shifted. "I don't be-
ieve you are any better than you ought
to be-"

DRIED EGGS IN CANS.
The Latest Way in Which the Amerf-
can Hen Is Distributing Her
Nutritious Product.

The portable hen is the latest thing
adopted by the commssary Depart
ment of the army. 1t lays fresh eggs
every day, is guaranteed TO produce
eight dozen, just as they are required,
and weighs only two pounds. Requir-
ing neither food nor water, it can be
carried conveniently in a soldiers
knapsack, and all he has to do when
he wants an omelet or a scramble"
is to unscrew the ''critter" and eX-
tract from it with a spoon.
Dried egg in cans is, TO speak more
exactly, the army food of the immedi-
ate future. 1t is put up by number
Of manufacturers in various parts of
the country, but chiefly in Missouri,
under different trade names, such as
"evaporated egg" desiccated egg"
and 'crystsllized egg From two to
these firms the war department has
purchased large quantities of the
stuff, and thousands of cans of 1t have
been shipped to China and TO the
Philippines for the use of our troops.
One pound is equivalent to four dozen
fresh eggs, and it affords an admir-
able substitute, being to all intents
and purposes simply hens eggs with
the water extracted, and keeping"
for years, even in a tropical climate.
Dried eggs have been utilized large
ly in Alaska of late, in the Klondike,
and at Cape Nome. They have been
furnished to British soldiers in South
Africa, in Yankee cans. In this and
other ways the American hen is dis
tributing her product all over the
world, and recent arctic expeditions
have carried similar supplies with
Stockman.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

A thin turkey sells hard and at low
price.
Wood ashes should not be used in
the poultry house.
A leafless tree or the top rail of
fence is very poor protection from
storm or cold.
A little thought, little time and
very little money will add much to the
comfort and health of the hens and to
the profit of their owner.
A few bushels of garden soil put in
to the hen house now will come handy
before next April. Try it and see if
we are right in the statement.
If soft food is fed it is an excellent
plan to have cover of Stats over the
trough which will permit the fowls
to eat and yet keep them from getting
into their feed.
Keep the old turkeys for breeding
purposes. Select a few of the best
young ones to take the places of those
that have fallen by the way during
the year, or that are too old.-Nation-
al Rural. ----

ON A SOUND BASIS.
From "a Mere Pastime Poultry Keep
Ing Has Developed Into Sound
and Safe Business.

Half century ago poultry keeping
was simply a fashionable amusement
and pastime. The beginning may be
said to be about 1s47 to 1850, at the
time of the introduction of the Shang-
hais. Those who have some knowledge
of the history of the past have fair
idea of what poultry has accomplished.
Thes casual observer of years ago. saw
only enough of it to disgust him with
the whole business. Men who were
engaged in it saw enough money in il,
and as many as had judgment enough
to curtail expenses and reduce stock
at the right time came out with a little
money and more or less experience, the
latter worth perhaps as much in the
long run as the money. A great many
so-called fanciers, however, went into
the business merely for the sake of the
speculation and excitement it afforded,
and went out of it without knowing
or caring anything about the ultimate
results. of the poultry interest at large.
Fanciers of this type (and it is possible
that there are a few of them in the
business yeti were interested only in
the proceeds, with no thought of what
poultry breeding has done for the i'm
provement of the general stock of the
country and the increase of the prod
ucts of the poultry yards of the nation.
There have always been some fanciers
who were true fanciers - not specu-
lators-who worked for nobler ends
than merely to make money. The
money end, of course, was not lost sight
of, but it was not the governing pur-
pose.-Farm and Fireside.
