DRYING WEATHER.
Corn Very Sensitive to the Condition
of the Atmosphere.

In the drying of corn in the cribs
the condition of the weather counts
for far more than most people sup
pose. The corn seems almost like a
sponge, the way it pulls in moisture
from the atmosphere. In some ex-
periments carried on by the Univer-
sity of Illinois, the corn in two cribs
was weighed every week from Janu-
ary z, 1904, to November 10 of the
\ same year. A record was kept of the
condition of the weather and it's effect
was clearly noticed in the shrinkage
or gain in weight of the approximately
10000 pounds of corn. During the
week from January to January IA
the weather was clear and mild and
the corn increased in weight 100
pounds. That is, it actually absorbed
that weight of water from the atmos-
phere. The next week was cloudy and
the corn absorbed As pounds more of
water. The next two weeks were dry.
with snow, and the corn lost 2O5
pounds of water. From July 7 to july
IA the wind was mostly in the south
and the weather was damp. The corn
added to itself IT'S pounds of water.
The week from September % to Sep.
tember 20 was reported as dry and
hot, but the corn added to itself 185
pounds of water. The moisture must
have been excessive in the atmos-
phere. A record of the moisture con-
ditions of the atmosphere would be
a good thing to go with the report of
weather conditions, in comparing rec
ords of shrinkages and gains in
weight of stored corn.

try road. | halted my car, and watch
ed with interest the passage of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
q had a short talk with the shep'
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
LOOK here said, what do you do
driving sheep like this on a narrow
road, when you meet another flock
coming in the opposite directions?
Well said the shepherd, 'ye just
drive straight on, both of ye, and the
one that has the best dogs gets the
most Sheep"

Binding a Load of Hay.

pin is worked down into the load and
the other twisted in the rope and
turned around the upright until the
load is tightly bound. Then a small
rope that is kept tied in end of the
horizontal pin is tied to the binding
rope and the pressure is held. Each
pin is 3ls feet long. One is sharpened
and the other has onehalf-inch hole
bored through one end. Old fork
handles, suggests Farm and Home,

One pin only may be made and a

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting Of
Truth and Pathos.

"Jack London's famous definition of
sharing a bone with dog
when you're as hungry as the dog
recalls story about charity" said a
magazine editor, that heard Mr.. Lon
don tell at a farewell dinner in New
York before he sailed away on the
Spark.
'Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner
"The host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
"Confound you, stupid said the
host. Didn't tell you wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what l asked for, you old fool!'
"'Come, come said the guest, after
the old woman had hurried away in a
great fright. Come, come, my friend,
don't you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servant?'
"'Oh.' said the other, she's not a
servant She's only a poor relation
I'm keeping out of charity
'The guest looked relieved.
That alters the case of course he
said. d.'-Washington Times.

BITTER ROT IN APPLES.
Methods of Combating This Trouble
some Disease.

The following conclusions as to the
best method of fighting this disease
are given in a recent bulletin OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture:
/. Bitter-rot can be completely con-
trolled by proper applications Of Bor-
deaux mixture, 93.3 to $50 per cent. of
sound fruit having been saved by such
treatment in these experiments, while
the checks rotted completely
2. Four applications, when made
just at the right time, are sufficient to
control the disease satisfactorily, but
in order to be sure of covering the IN
fection periods one or two additional
applications may be necessary.
3. The applications should be made
at intervals Of two weeks, beginning
about six weeks after the trees bloom.
4. 1t is necessary to spray the trees
thoroughly, coating the fruit on all
sides with fine mist-like applications.
5. Other diseases, such as scab,
leaf-spots, and sooty-blotch, may be
controlled in connection with the treat
HeuI Ol DlJIGT-TOl.
For the treatment of bitter-rot alone
spray the trees thoroughly with Bor-
deaux mixture at intervals OF two
weeks until five applications have been
made, beginning not later than 40 days
after the petals have fallen.
For the combined treatment of ap-
ple-scab and bitter-rot, spray the trees
with Bordeaux mixture % just before
they bloom (but after the cluster buds
have opened and exposed the flower
buds); (2) as soon as the petals fall;
(3) week or ten days later; (4)
about 40 to so days after the shedding
of the petals, and at intervals of two
weeks thereafter until, in all, seven or
eight applications have been made.

FOR REFLECTION.

In the care of domestic animals It
is easier to prevent disease than to
cure it.
Orchards show the application of
manure best when spread over the en-
tire ground so that all the roots re-
ceive some benefit.
The efficacy OF blood in brood mares
Is quite as noticeable as in sires, and
always will make aa important show
ing in the offspring.
In their wild state animals are never
subject to live in unventllatcd build
ings. This is one reason why wild
animals are healthy.
Boys, better a job on the home farm
with small but sure gains every year
than a clerkship, SO a month aud
shiny pants in the big city.

Horses Drinking Capacity.

A horse can drink from As to 65
pounds of water per day. If the feed
is dry, all of this amount will have to
be supplied at the trough. If the feed
contains a great deal of succulent
green stuff, large amount of the
water will be taken into the system
in that way and less will be needed at
the trough. The safe rule to follow is
to allow the horse all it will drink, pro,
Vided it is not allowed too drink too
rapidly.
