Improvement of Corn.

| Professor l.. H. Bailey. in Country
Life in America, explains the Won
derful manner in which corn is being
| improved. The particular materials
that give the corn kernel most of its
value are the oil, the protein and the
starch. For the production of corn
oil-for which the demand is large
corn that has high oil content is
of course. particularly valuable; while
for the production of starch or for
the feeding of bacon hogs, a relatively
higher percentage of other materials is
desirable. 1t is apparent therefore,
that races Of corn should be bred for
a particular content, depending on the
disposition to be made of the grain.
Equal economic results can not be at
tanned, however, in increasing the con-
tent of any of the three leading in
gradients. since pound of gluten is
worth | cent, a pound of starch y.
cents and q pound of oil cents. The
amounts of these ingredients in the
corn kernel are amenable to increase
or diminution by means of selection
by choosing for seed the kernels of
ears that are rich or poor in one or
the other of these materials Fortu-
nately, the oil and starch and protein
of the corn kernel occupy rather dis
tinct zones. Next the outside hull is
"a dark and horny layer that is very
rich in protein: in the center is the
large germ, very rich in oil; between
the two is Il white layer of starch. 1t
is found that the kernels on any ear
are remarkably uniform in their con-
tent; the dissection of few kerr
neis therefore, enables the breeder to
determine the ears that are rich in any
one of the substances Experiment
stations in the corn growing states are
making great Roadway in this
new breeding of corn, and one large
concern in Illinois is taking it up as
commercial enterprise. All this re-

Remedy for BIoat.

p M. Carnahan, of Mercer county
Illinois, in a letter to the Breeders Ga
Zette, says:
"A great many cattle are dying OF
bloat. Any animal can be saved if the
remedy can be applied before it is down.
Get the animals front feet on some
thing 4 foot or more higher than the
hind feet and keep ii in that position
until the bloat begins to go down
rapidly. BY placing them in that posi-
ton the stomach is thrown backward
ard allows the valve which is on the
front part to open and the gas escapes
at the mouth. You will hear it coming

Household Philosophy

Any close observer of household con-
ditions is forced to the conclusion that
large per centage of housewives are
& needless martyrs. Too many of them
live and work in a ''rut." Those who
grow old before their time can generally
find the cause without looking far
Those whose daily work is a grind can
almost invariably help the situation if
they study their work and systematic
Il.
To the woman who does her own
housework, washday is the stumbling
block. When washday becomes I'M
too many times the results are dis
astrous.
The pioneer firm of Iowa soap max
ers, JAS Beach & Sons, of Dubuque,
after "A years of soap manufacturing,
succeeded in producing soap of ordi-
nary cost that will wash clothes With

Peosta suds starts the dirt, and half the

needless to say that the use of such

The Cure of Roun

First of all, isolate the sick from the
well (known by moping, swelled face
4 and eyes, sneeZing, discharges from
nose and throat etc.. and in thor
ough manner fumigate the quarters
with sulphur and carbolic acid. Every
evening heat a brick very hot and on
| it drop ten drops of carboic acid. This
you will compel the well ones to inhale
| FOR several minutes. 1t is a preventive.
1t is also AN excellent antidote for the
| affected ones.
| If the birds are valuable, treat them
carefully. If not so valuable, and they
are quite ILL., destroy them, and treat
only the less affected ones. Peroxide
of hydrogen, half diluted with water,
should be used on expensive birds. 1t is
the most thorough cleanser known and
perfectly harmless as local wash for
the eyes and mouth. Use it morning
and evening. For constitutional treat

should have been previously boiled and
allowed to cool before the remedies are
dissolved. Set this before the sick
fowls and allow them to drink all they
wish.
Let the food consist OF boiled meals
and mashed potatoes. Boil the wheat
and let all be warm, except the water
they drink.
The above treatment is absolutely
reliable. 1t must, however, be intelli-
gently administered, as all affairs of the
poultry yard should be.

Stock Feed on Flooded Lands.

| If people who have had their crops
destroyed by flood and also those who
are threatened with a shortage of feed
owing to drought. will act on the fol-
lowing suggestions. I will assure them
an abundance of feed for the next sea-
son for horses and cattle:
| First, I will give my method Of pre-
| pairing the seed bed. 1 use the disk
harrow, with four horses abreast and
weight the harrow to cut WELL taking
account of draft, so as not to overload
my horses. First cutting / half lap the
disk. Then l SOW broadcast one-half
bushel of whippoorwill peas. Now fol-
low with disk set at about half disk,
| cutting each drive across Id full
| width. This makes the equivalent of
| three cuttings. Then cross harrow with
common peg tooth harrow. Now SOW
10 pounds of German millet to the acre
and harrow again with peg-tooth har-
row, and il your soil will produce fifty
bushels of corn to the acre, it will pro-
duce from two to three tons of cured
hay to the acre, depending on season
You will also have fairly balanced ra-
ton for feed. The peas will furnish
grain as we'll as hay, but to equally bal
ance the ration small amount of corn
should be fed with this hay. But you
will find it a good emergency feed any
season. We have not been driven either
by drought or flood to SOW this crop,
yet we think enough of it to plant
thirty acres this season
You will also find your feeding sea-
son shortened if you will SOW rape as
soon as your ground is in condition to
work as you can pasture on this well
into the winter. Be careful not to turn
into rape long at time at first unil
stock gets accustomed to it, or bad re-
suits will surely follow. Sow an album

have been telling, themselves to the
great amusement of Iowa republicans
in general. viz: that there is no Iowa
idea. It'has given place TO the univer-
sal republican idea Of letting the tariff

Colonel Hepburn, also of the old
school of tariff idol worshipels, is re-
