better methods of armor plate
making, have enabled the naval

The season has again arrived for farm.
ers to be on their guard against the
cornstalk disease. Its not at all probable
that if will be so common as last
year, when pasture was so scarce, and a
little precaution will avoid it altogether
1t has been found that when cattle are
allowed to feed on the cornstalks only a
short time each day, and then turned on
grass that no difficulty has been experi-
enced. After a few days of free range
on pasture field at the same time the
cattle are allowed to run in the stalk
field would so blend the rations as to be
entirely healthful. The best posted
stockmen and veterinarians do not te.
lieve that the cattle get poison from
smut or any other source, but that
death results from an excess of dry
food.
