DANGER IN: MUSTY FOOD FOR
COWS

DR.. C. D., Smead, the famous New
York veterinary & surgeon, says in the
New York Tribune Farmer that in
many cases where cows have died
from strange disease, the COWS have
been suffering from cryptogramic
poison, which is q poison from the
fungous growths that appear in the
form of ruets, =. smuts and mculds on
vegetation. He says further:
"A large number Of stock owners
fail to realize that musty, mouldy or
rusty foods are dangerous to feed ami
MALI. When death is not produced,
serious bowed and kidney disorders
are produced. And they wonder what
strange disease is prevailing in their
herds. Others are In the habit of saw

and have It ground for horse and
cattle feed. Now, the screening are
all right, when they are screenings OF
wheat. oats, barley or othe; grains ;
but when those screenings are COM

contain active medicinal properties,
and others actual poisonous elements.

the digestive or glandular system.
All in all. 1t is poor economy to

They will pick out the grain and will
not pick up poisonous weed seed.

WHY POP CORN POPS.

The popping of popcorn is due to
the volatilization Of the oil contents
in the kernel. Field corn does mot pop
as readily as popcorn. because the
outer portion of the kernel Is more
porous, permitting the escape Of the
oil as it Volatilizes; while in the case
of popcorn great pressure Is de-
veloped in the kernel by the confined
oil, and the kernel is suddenly ex-
'ploded and, turned wrong side out. In
oompoattioh popcorn differs from O.
ton Of the oorneous element and a
greater per cent Of oil. Popcorn pops
more readily when dry, because when
moist6ned1 the kernels are swollen,
more porous. toughened, and do. not
explode 80 suddenly and, completely
when dry and hard-Soientific Ameri-
can.
