Wrinkles appear on the body usually

OF course the likelihood of trans-

wrinkles have been hereditary. They
do appear sometimes on animals which
have not inherited the same from
their ancestors, as in q brood where
anirnals have been kept in very high
condition when young. When there
has been a sudden slackening in food
supplies, the animal has fallen away
and the skin becomes loose and more
or less creased, and when creases are
thus formed they are likely to remain.
In any event, however, an animal
that is much marred with wrinkles
should not be retained for breeding
whether male or female.

One year ago Rev. Mr.. Mckinney

What Iowa's Corn Means.
ILiVe Stock WOrId.I


One bear influence on corn not TO be
ovrlooked this year is the fact thai
Iowa has a good crop. The state prac-
tieally determines the price of the
cereal. For two years it has been in
the market, buying alternately from
Missouri and Nebraska and influencing
the market price 8 to cents a bushel.
This year Iowa will have enough corn
to supply all feed lot demands and
leavea a large surplus for sale. Ne
braska corn that went to Iowa last
year, will be on the open market, and
Nebraska's crop is a bumper one.
Strength in corn recently has been due
largely to covering by shorts and
strenuous efforts to create hard spots
on which to sell. The price feeders
will have to pay for corn this season
has not yet beeen determined, for the
simple reason that speculative condi-
tions have not been ripe for 1T.
