Cure Is the only positive cure known to the

Worlds Milk Production,

1t is estimated that the total weight
Of cows milk produced in the world
is 26,400,000 hundredweight, distrib-
uted as follows: United States, 6,lOO..
600 hundredweight, Russia 100000;
Germany 100000 France 100000,
England 100000, Austria 100000,

100000, Belgium 100000, Australia
$4,000, Spain 100000 and Portugal
100000. The production Of milk in
Europe is 1S,45O,000 hundredwelght
from 45,000,000 cows. The number Of
milch cows in the world is 63,S0O,000-
15,940,0OO in the United States and
100000 in Russia. There are only
six head of horned cattle in Spain to
each 2h acres of cultivated land, while
in France there are thirty-four and in
England fifty-six. This shows the
poor condition of cattle breeding in
Spain, and explains the constant in
crease in the price of butchers meat

HLskIng Corr.

NOihs
By far the most serious task in rails
ing corn is the matter of husking it in
the field. Up to date no practical ma
chine adapted to this purpose has ap-
peared. Many have been tried, but
they usually fall short in some import
ant particular. None of them has be-
come popular, and fortune awaits
the man who perfects a thoroughly
practical corn h. Jker, which will be
as successful relatively as the modern
husker is for corn fodder, says Orange
Judd Farmer. When corn is to be
husked direct from the standing corn,
it should be allowed to mature quite
thoroughly, particularly If it is Of
variety with large ears and large cob,
containing a high percentage Of mois-
ture. This must be determined by ex-
animation. Some seasons husking be-
gins the latter part Of September,
while in others 1t is not safe to begin
husking until the middle or end of Oc-
tober. The time will also depend
largely upon the variety. Early ma
turing kinds have small cobs, and they
can be husked much earlier than late
maturing and large-ear varieties. Corn
when first placed in the crib contains
Ii to 30 or 40 per cent of moisture. A
common practice in the great corn
States is to start through the field
marking down" row. Iusk two
rows to the left of the wagon and the
one row that is under it. Go around q
good-sized "land' in this manner. The
next time through the field and every
succeeding time thereafter have the
team straddle the last husked row
next the corn that has not beer
husked. This will prevent the neces
. sity of picking up a down row eacl
: time, and will enable the husker to dC
} his work. The ordinary wagon boz
will hold from twenty-five to thirty
! bushels. When the corn Is exception
: ally good, a skillful husker will be abl
, to more than fill one wagon box il
D half a day. The capacity Of bo.
e may be increased by putting on add
tional sideboards. On the right side o
the wagon box it is desirable to plac
e one or two extra boards to act a
p bump boards. The husker will nc
need to use so much care in THROWN
t in his work. A good husker so gauge
e the distance from the row in the wa.
c on box that it is not necessary for hil
e to look where he throws his ear.

There were two men out and
runners on second and third
bases when the batter hit u
ErOunder 10 shOrtstOp. Instead
of throwing to first base and
making sure of his man. the
shOrtstOp exercised his option of
IA feIder's choice and took
chances of shorter throw of
catching the runner going from
third tn home. The pickup was
clean and the throw perfect. but
the runner had obtained good
start and bent the ball to the
plate. The batsnan, observing
the play, turned first base and
kept on running to second tn draw

time the runner On second had
gone to third. and when the catch
err threw to second. the batsmnn
stopped so as 10 prevent the second
baseman from touching him, and
before the latter could return the
ball to the catcher the second
runner had also scored. The

throws were perfect. so that there
