EFFECT OF SMUT ON CATTLE.
OF course no one will feed corn that
has smut ON it to cattle knowingly. but
they frequently get hold of it when fed
in the field after harvest and 1T makes
more ~ less trouble during the winter.
The effect of this corr smui ON the
stomach seems TO DO 10 dry y 'h'
| Juices of the tomach and. in rare
cases, utterly running the digestive or
gans. The remedy seems to be to al
low the animal free access to water AT
all times so that ii ma drink when
ever ii desires. 1t is assumed that
quantities of water renders the smut
ineffective. at any rate II prevents "
from clogsing in the stomach and the
remedy is we'll worth trying FOR II cam
not injure the animal.
YOU CAN'T FOOL THE CONSUMER.
The writer lives near Il village of
some four thousand Inhabitants which
$ near enough to Il large city to come
under the influence of cold storage
products. For d number OF years.. up
Ito last winter. it WAS not possible 10
Isell poultry fresh from farm In the VIII
|lage at a fair price. The retailers
would not pay but a tribe more than
they paid for storage fowls, so we were
|oblige to ship them to the city. Last
winter quite II decided demand was
evident ior fresh killed poultry and this
fall the demand is so large that several
of us are delivering our surplus poultry
to the village at city prices. The
/, change was worth investigation as to
the cause and here 1T is: Consumers
had become so tired of the tasteless or
rank fowls that they would no longer
buy them and clamored for something
: fresh ever at n higher price. so there
was nothing for the retailer to do but
! find something fresh, which was not
y, hard to do. Once Il consumer eats Il
a fresh fowl 1T is hard to force him back
: to cold storage birds. by way of edu-
+ cation along this line l once tried the
. same general plan with poultry that !
wrote some time ago of trying with the
, Shafer raspberry. I called on n dozen
of my town acquaintances and ask g
n them if they ate poultry. They did. of
course. so ! asked them to let me fur
nish them with II fresh killed bird ut
the same price they would pay for one
from cold storage at the market. stipu-
lating. however. hat a second sale
could only be made ut an advance OF
several cents per pound. All good
naturally agreed and today / am sell
ing ten of the original twelve (and
many others besides) all the poultry
they use on their tables. The taste OF
n the fresh killed birds settled it. The
:. scheme is worth trying anywhere il
n your birds arc really nice.
