DANGER IN NEW CORN.
An Unparalleled Promoter of Hoo
ChpIera-RaIauced Ration Best

An Unparalleled Promoter of Hog
ChOIera-BaIanced Ration Best.
During the last year there has been
less cholera and swine plague than
formerly simply because less corn was
fed. This does not mean that corn is
the direct cause of cholera, but it does
mean that as a promoter of the dis
ease corn, especially new corn, is an
unparalleled success. This greatest of
all grains is the greatest heat producer
grown ON the farm and when fed in
large quantities produces fat at the ex-
pense of tissue, so that the animal falls
an easy victim when the cholera mi
crobe puts in an appearance.
At this time, in the face of an enor
nous crop, farmers are likely to forget
the lessons they have learned as to
feeding the smaller corn ration. New
corn is unexcelled for fattening pur-
poses, but it is deficient in muscle,
flesh and bone forming elements. 1t
should be fed cautiously and always
with some digestible concentrated feed
A well known Iowa authority said
recently that the system of the pig
soon becomes deranged by continuous
feeding of new corn, the animal soon
becomes sick, and much of the loss
usually attributed to hog cholera might
be termed corn disease. He stated fur
Their that two bushels of new corn are
required to equal one busheI of old
corn in results, and as pigs like the
new grain and will eat it ravenously
if permitted every precaution should
be taken to prevent overeating.
Don't misunderstood me- I would
not urge any one to discontinue the use
of corn. The farmer who has a big
corn crop this year will be immeasur-
ably benefited if he will continue to
feed the balanced ration. The big
yield of corn should not deter him from
using concentrated feeds. He should
remember the danger in feeding new
corn and that three or four hogs saved
will more than pay for the necessary
quantity of concentrated feed rich in
digestible protein.-Cor. Country Gen
tleman.

In Place of a silo.

Not every farmer has a silo or a
corn shredding machine. They cost too
much for the man who has but two or
three cows. But he can pick the ears
from his corn slower and have the grain
ground, and the cob, too, if he so
wishes, then have the slower well
cured in the field, and when he takes
It to the barn have it cut into pieces
not more than a half inch long and
shorter If possible. Then moisten it
with warm water If such Is convenient
to the COW stables and cover it up to
steam for twenty-four hours at least
before feeding. Put on each cows ra-
tion as much and such grain as her
condition calls for, and If she does not
do as well as she would on ensilage
she win do better than on dry corn
stoyer. If obliged to wet it with cold
water. it will be better for standing
forty-eight hours, to terminate q little

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
TEN Good RuIes For the Preserva'
tom of HeQltfn

TEN Good Rules For the Preserve
tion of Health.
The following ten rules. says the
New York Journal. have been compiled
by a committee of eminent physicians
as the best to follow for the preserya-
ton Of health:
1. Don't leave your rooms in the
morning with an empty stomach.
2. Never expose yourself to cold air
Immediately after you have partaken
of warm liquid of any kind.
3. Don't leave your abode in cold
weather without warm wraps around
your shoulders and breast
4. Begin respiration in the cold by
breathing through the nose This will
give the air chance to get warm be-
fore reaching the lungs.
5. Never place your back near a heat
ed oven nor against a wall, warm or
cold.
6. Don't stand before an open win
dow in a railway carriage, nor take a
drive in an open carriage after violent
physical exercise.
Z. Don't remain motionless in cold
room, and do not stand in an open
space, on ice or snow.
8. Talk only when you must. for the
old phrase, Speech is silver. silence is
gold" holds good even in hygiene.
8. Don't put off your regular bath.
When the skin is not kept fresh and
soft, the cold draws the pores together
and you are rendered susceptible to
pulmonary troubles of all kinds.
10. Don't retire with cold or wet feet.
Nothing prevents sleep with so much
certainty as the neglect of your pedal
eXtremities.

Keepfng Seed Potatoes.

The success of the potato crop de-
ponds much upon the vigor and condi-
ton of the seed potatoes. Some grow
ers have adopted the following practice
with excellent results: When the pota-
toes are dug, those which are to be
used for seed are stored in a dry, dark
shed or barn until about the 10th of
November. Just before freezing wealth
er sets in the potatoes are carefully
sorted, and those which show the
slightest signs of decay are rejected.
A layer of straw from eight to ten
inches thick is spread on the ground
and the tubers placed upon this straw
The piles should not be made too large.
The best results are usually obtained
from mounds three feet wide at the
base and piled up in ridges as high as
convenient. A covering of straw is
placed over the potatoes, and this is
followed by a layer of soil from six to
eight inches thick, but before severe
weather sets in more soil is added, and
when the severest weather is at hand
more straw or strawy barn manure
is added. The aim is to cover gradu-
ally as the cold increases. This meth
cd of storing potatoes seems to winter
them much better for seed than when
they are placed in root cellars or when
they are stored in mounds Immediately
after they are dug, says American
Gardening.

have tried quite a number of sys-
TENS in order to get hens to mott
early and have met with fair success,
says Theodore Hewes. / have also
talked to great many breeders and
watched the systems as used in the
different yards visited, and l believe
Mr.. Mitchell of Bristol, Conn, has
come as near solving the problem as
any of them. His system is to select
such males or females that he desires
to have mott early and confine them in
small runs or houses for about three
weeks, giving them only food enough
to keep them alive. In other words, he
reduces their weight, but as soon as
the period of fasting is finished they
are given the richest food and If pos
sible are allowed a grass run. The re-
| suit is that the feathers are dried out
by this fasting, and the rich food
starting the young feathers push the
old dry ones out of place, the bird
having the appearance of being picked.
AT the time of my visit to Mr.. Mitch
elPs yards, during the fall of 1901,
| found in some of the small runs in his
| barn loft, where birds were melting,
enough loose feathers to make good
sized pillow, and they had dropped out
| of the birds within three days of my
visit, as three days previous the feath-
ers had all been cleaned up. The re-
suit obtained by Mr.. Mitchell can be
secured by allowing the brood hens
to set for two or three weeks during
warm weather and when taken off
the nests given the best of food for
a couple of weeks. There are many
systems in vogue, all of them proving
more or less valuable. Some breeders
place the birds in small houses about
as large as a dog kennel, facing the
same to the north, never allowing the
sun to shine on the bird during mott.
This has tendency to hurry the mott
along.
At one place l visited l found birds
confined i'll coops of this kind that had
been carefully hand picked, every
feather being taken off the same as
dressing for market. The poor old
birds were ashamed of themselves,
like a peacock when he loses his tail,
and remained inside of their boxes all
day, only coming to the door to eat
and drink. 1 am glad to say that this
system of melting is not at all COM
mon or popular. and l trust it never
will be.
The starving or reducing system is
well worth trial, and when fasting is
all over be careful to have plenty of
sunfower seed or oil cake to go with
their feed, not overlooking the impor
lance of green food or grass runs.
Let any hen that becomes broody sit,
placing her in key or barrel turned on
it's side, so that she will heat up thor
oughly, and the old feathers will be
showed off as soon as she is off the
| nest

HOW to Glenn cut Glasa.

Cut glass should have the greatest
possible care in handling. A wooden
tub should be used for washing, and
the water in which it is cleared should
never be too warm for the hands. The
deeper the cutting the more liable it is
to be broken. Cut glass should never
be left upon stone or marble, and in
rinsing the water should be of nearly
the same temperature as that used for
the washing. 1t should always be
drained on a soft towel or cloth De-
canters and water bottles often get dis
colored. but a soft cloth guided by a
wire will generally remove the sedi-
ment. When this is obstinate. bits of
paper with shot and strong soapsuds
will do the work. Beans are some
times used instead of shot. Glass that
is ornamented with gold should be
washed with CASTLE or a good white
soap-that is. a suds-and should be
wiped as dry as possible. All the fine
glass should be kept in a closed cab
met and handled very little. A damp
place is not advisable for glass, espe-
cially that with gold decorations.

Emigration to Canadian Northwe.

Emigration to Canadian Northwest.
The movement of western farmers
across the line into northwest Canada
has become almost an international
topic, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The Dominion land office at Ottawa
says that of 25,OOO,000 acres of land
now owned by citizens of the United
States fifth of this vast area has
been acquired during the past year
and that perhaps 100000 acres have
been taken up by bona fide settlers
from the States. During the first six
months of 1902 fully 81, 900 American
citizens settled in Manitoba, and the
movement still continues. Our Cana
dian friends need not worry over the
alien element crossing the border from
the United States, because these sturdy
farmers who settle permanently in
the northwestern frontier will become
good citizens of Canada A word of
caution may not be out of place, how
ever, to our own people in Iowa. the
Dakotas, cts, who may eventually find
they are making mistakes in mortgag-
ing their farms in order to raise money
to invest in these new faroff lands.
As general rule, the words of the
poet hold true, ITO stay at home is
best"

TO HuSK OR NOT TO HUsK
Western and Southern Practice In
Cribbing Corn.


Cribbing Corn.
In putting corn i'll the crib in the
west it is customary to husk the corn
in the field, carrying the clean ear corn
to the crib. In southern Louisiana it is
generally the custom to take the corn
to the cribs in what is known as the
slip shuck, leaving part of the shuck
on the corn, presumably to protect it.
DR.. d. Morris, imperial commissioner
of agriculture for the West Indies,
says that the insects the most destruc-
tive to stored corn are the grain moth
and several weeyils, and as the corn
may be infested with these insects
while still in the field there is little to
support the idea that the husk serves
as a protection. The husks give the
bulk of stored corn very little protec-
ton from insects and provide the best
hiding places for rats and mice Most
of the corn has to be husked before it
can be used, and husking can be done
more rapidly while the corn is being
gathered than at any other time, and
under ordinary circumstances it is the
best time for doing the work.-Louisi-
ana Planter.
Commenting on the foregoing, Farm
and Ranch says: In Texas and Louisi-
ana the best way we know of to secure
the destruction of your enemy's corn
by weevils is to persuade him to crib
it without the shucks Weevils are
bad enough in corn with the shucks on.
The weevils that are in the corn when
cribbed will multiply by the thousands.
Corn well inclosed by the shuck suffers
much less than that which is shucked.

The weedy flavor of butter can be
helped Notwithstanding the argument
sometimes urged that the abnormal
growth of weeds is due to the excessive
moisture and the farmer has no con-
troll over the clouds. 1t is true that
weeds grow rapidly in wet weather
and that they frequently hide the
grass from sight and smother it so it
cannot grow. But every farmer has a
moving machine, and these machines
will NOW weeds. If the grass divider
is taken off so that the weeds as cut
will be evenly distributed and the cut
ter bar is set to the highest notch,
then the weeds mown will make a fine
mulch for the grass and will soon
wither away and settle to the ground,
and the timothy and clover will grow
all the more luxuriously for the mulch
and for the clipping of the tops. will
thicken, take a firm root hold of the
ground, and the pasture will again be
a thing of beauty and of profit, with
the weeds counted out for the season.

Care of Turkeys.

If we have hot days and cool nights,
watch your turkeys closely, and if any
of them show signs of cold quarantine
them Immediately and give any good
commercial roup cure. 1t will be well
to give some Of the cure in the drink
ing water given to the rest of the flock,
and if you notice any of the others
sneezing and running at the nose place
them also in quarantine, that you may
avoid that dreaded disease diphtheritic
roup.
If any of your flock become crop
bound (they are not apt to do so if
their grit dish is kept filed, pour melt
ed lard down the throat and knead the
crop gently with the fingers. l men
ton this now as it sometimes happens
that their first day in the field after
the grain the crop is full of oats, and
if they do not get sufficient grit the
sharp hulls cause it to pack, so if you
see droopy turkey come in catch it,
and you can easily tell by feeling the
crop if it be cropbound. Keep it away
from the rest of the flock, not because
it is contagious, but for your own con-
venience in catching it to administer
medicine and that it may not be in
Jured by the rest Of the flock.-Mar-

Special care is needed in cleaning in

used. or it is apt to leave nasty white
mark on the wood which is extremely
difficult to remove. In brushing the
whiting off after cleaning be careful
not to scratch the ebony, for once
scratched it is spoiled.
