MolDv CORN.
II Should Not Be Put in Crib with the
Other Corn.

There is variety OF expressions
the Bloomington tTllD Pantograph.
Most farmers think there is not 80
much as last year
One man who said he thought he
did not have so much moldy corn, was
surprised when the first load came in
and said that none OF It should go into
the crib; that he thought II the
weather got damp and warm 1t would
help to spoil other corn in the crib.
Another farmer who usually looks
pretty closely to his corn. said that
he got two ears from the feld about a
month ago. before the corn was very
hard, one OF them was of the type he
selected for seed and the other one
was partly affected with the dry mold.
so prevalent last year Without think
ing Of what might happen. he tied the
two ears together and hung them on
the north side of building. where
they had remained. On taking them
down recently. the seed ear was found
to be moldy on the side next to the
other ear. for space of five or six
rows wide.
Not a fewSfarmers are of the opin.
ion that the mold lives In the soil or
In the rubbish OF the field. especially
" the moldy ears are thrown down
when found or are left In the Geld. and
thus is carried over from year to year
Perhaps the mold 10 not so apparent
this season as usual because of q lack
of just the hind Of weather to propa
gate It. %
One Of the best corn experts In the
state, H. A. Winter. OF Wenona, said
last year he believed that this dry rot
may have been the cause Of 90 much
poor seed corn. II frequently happens
that an otherwise good looking ear has
a trace Of mold around the tips of the
grains Just next the cob. perhaps only
on one side or one end. and 90 10 over
looked. when the seed selection is
made
II seems as II It would be a good
time to stamp out the mold when
there h q small amount Of It, by de-
stroyins every ear that can be found
From what is known Of this disease
II certainly would be a safe and prac
teal thing to take special pains to pre-
vent any of the moldy ears from re
naming In the field or the corn crib
to contaminate sound corn.
Instead Of dropping 4 moldy ear to
the ground or letting II remain in the
husk on the stalk. when discovered
every such ear should be snapped and
thrown into box attached to the
side OF the wagon.
When unloading at the crib, every
ear at all affected with the mold
should be separated from the Other
corn. throwing It into box or barre
provided for the purpose. There Is
very little feeding value. even for
pigs and chickens In corn so dam
aged. and II would better be destroy ed
by burning.

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap wayi is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, aue cured tobaccos.

FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are

outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the

Got a Klamath Homestead.

Miss Linnie Small of Silver
Lake, klamath county, arrived
Wednesday and is guest at the
home of her cousin, M. M. Long.
Miss Small is an old OAC girl
and during her college days was
a popular student.
She recently participated in
the rush for claims in the Kla-
math country and succeeded in
securing a good homestead with
out being obliged to contest the
case. Her sister, however, was
less fortunate and will have to
contest for her land.

she spent the night in the wilder

great crowd and many were dis
appointed but luck favored the
OAC girl as she found no other
fling had been made on her
claim. She and her sister have
spent a month in that locality
and Miss Small says they have
'lots of fun"
The people are very sociable,
the women and girls wear divid-
ed skirts, have riding horses and
visit all over the country. On
one trip, in following a blazed
trail over the mountain, Miss
Small and her sister on their re-

:" Ahead of the Railroad.

We are apt to think that a great
city, containing the comforts and
elegancies Of modern life, cannot
exist without railroads at its gates.
Bogota, the capital of the republic
of Colombia, is an exception. Hay
ing a population of 125,o0O, fine
residences, excellent schools and
colleges, literary, artistic and musi-
cal societies, clubs, polo, tennis,
balls, dinners, elegant society that
knows the Partisan fashions, Bogota
lies on a plateau which no railroad
has yet reached. There is, however,
a short railroad on the plateau it
self, but to get to it by the most
used route one must journey two
and a half days on muleback. An
other way of approach, reducing
the mule ride to seven or eight
hours, requires several days of river
navigation. But the railroad is
coming, although late.-Youth's

DAIRY WISDOM.

Thoroughly clean the udder by rub
bing with a piece of linen. Wash the
hands thoroughly before milking. Let
the udder be quite dry before you be-
gin to milk Milk with dry hands.
Seize the teats with the whole hand.
Keep a gentle pressure on the udder.
Milk as fast as you can and never
cease working until the milk is wholly
drawn. Don't strain the teat beyond
its natural length.
Some bacteria are of great value to
numerous branches of the dairy in
dustry. but the man who desires to de-
liver his cream in good condition must
look upon them all as enemies. He
must so far as possible keep the milk
and cream and the bacteria separate to
prevent disease, contamination and fer
mentation.
One big mistake is often made in
too large. Better build two or even
more, SO as to enable you to use
enough out in a day to prevent 1t
from souring. Never try to save $1GO
on a silo by cheap construction and
lose instead $500 worth of badly need
ed feed.
Before a COW that has been well
bred-that is, has come from good
cow and a pure bred, prepotent sire
Is condemned be sure that she has
reached maturity and that she has had
a full year of good, abundant feed.
If you are feeding the calves skim
milk, either weigh or measure their
feed with cup. If you feed by guess,
don't expect your calves to thrive. Get
out of the rut of careless feeding prac-
tees and do things scientifically.
If there be soreness or Jumps in the
udder or teats, stoppage IN the milk
canal or unnatural colored milk don't
mix that milk with. any other and
don't send it TO the creamery.
The man whose cows dry up early to
freshen for fall milk is mighty lucky
He gets the most milk when prices
are highest.

A Silo Story.

This little story was told by an In
diana dairyman in representing the
Importance of the silo to the farmer:
Compelling the COW to eat dry fodder
instead of rich, juicy silage reminds
me of a story a well known evangelist
tells. A lady who prided herself on
never turning a tramp empty handed
from her door was accosted one day
by a member of the hobo fraternity
when, as it happened, she had nothing
but bread to offer him; but, cutting a
thick slice, she handed it to him, say
ing, 4 give you this not for your sake
or for mine, but for the Lords sake
The tramp took the bread and, turn
ing it over and over in his hand, final
ly said, My dear madam, not for your
sake or for my sake, but for the Lords
sake, please put a little butter on this
bread If the COW could speak, no
doubt she would say, Not for your
sake or for my sake, but for the sake
of the milk pail, build a silo.'"

Both Quantity and Quality.

No way is known whereby the real
value of cow may be determined
without an actual test. The most con-
venient and satisfactory test now
known is the use of scales and the
Babcock test for determining the per
cent of butter fat in the milk. The
use of milk scales without a butter fat
determination does not give the whole
facts; neither does a butter fat deter
mination without a consideration of
the amount of milk throw much light
upon the real worth of cows. Both
quantity and quality of milk need to
be considered-in short, must be con-
sidered-if we are to learn the real
facts in regard to our dairy cows.
