These summer SHOWS may be
all right for the farmers but they
don't look good to the managers
of the base ball teams on the
prairie.
John S. Atkins, grand chancel-
lor of the Knights of Pythias
lodge, visited the local order
Tuesday night. He went on to
Grangeville the next day.
J. B. Krieger was in town
yesterday from Keuterville and
said that his sawmill was run
ming fine this spring. He will
cut about 300,0 900 feet of lumber
this spring.
Jim Rookie recently got back a
nicely mounted deer head and a
mountain sheep head from the
taxidermist at Grangeville. Jim
killed the animals over on Snake
river last winter.

Owing to the uncertainty as tx

the bridge will be finished boil
companies will begin work ant

corn TALK.

study Of Important Points In the
-JudSiaR Of Corn.
There appear to be some vital points
both as to desirable qualities and de-
teets in picking out a good ear Of corn.
Professor v. NJ. Shoesmith Of the state
college has prepared for the Kansas
boys who engage in corn contests lit.
tie study Of corn which furnishes an
elementary guide in corn judging and
includes among its twenty-seyen prac-
teal questions and answers the ones
here reproduced:
Flrst.-Why should corn be studied
as TO trueness to type or breedl
So that better Idea may be had as
to the certainty with which the char
acters win be transmitted. Corn pos
sessed of desirable characters, but
little breed type. is of little value,
since these characters may be substi-
tuted the following season by latent
or hidden characters of little value.
Hardness, productiveness and other
invisible characters may be as dlstinc-
tive breed characteristics as the color,
| shape OF ears, etc., and these must be
Judged by the type as seen in the Wis
ible characters.
Second.-How may the trueness to
type best be judged7
By studying the uniformity of the
ears in shape, size, straightness OF the
rows, color, etc., and also by study
ing the uniformity Of the kernels In
size, shape, color and indentation. The
uniformity of ears is studied by COM
pairing with the standard of perfec-
tion," but as 1t is difficult to sufficient
ly define the standard of perfection for
the kernels a heading Conformity Of
Kernels is placed on the score card.
Third.-Why should an ear Of corn
be cylindrical or nearly SOP
Because this is the only shape which
rows throughout the length OF the ear
and also the same size and shape of
kernels In all parts of the ear. In a
! tapering ear there must be some short
rows or the kernels must be larger Oh
have more space between them at butt
than at tip of ear. In such an ear OF
one of irregular shape some of the
kernels must be of irregular size OF
shape, which will not permit of an
even distribution by the planter,
Fourth.-What Is the proper ratio be
tween the length and the clrcumfer
ence Of an ear of corn?
Although there is not much expert
mental data to show that an ear Of
corn should be of exact proportions
most corn breeders agree that the ratio
between length and circumference
should be about as 10 is to 7. Il
appears that ears which are long and
slender are often associated with plants
which are not possessed Of the great
est vigor and hardness, and also sucl
ears have a relatively small percentage
of grain, while ears which are large II
circumference and short are usually
late in maturing and also often have {
small per cent of grain because of nj
extremely large cob.

Ration For Hogs.

Corn will fatten hog quickly, but if
weight is desired and carcass con
tanning both lean and fat is preferred
the use of foods containing more pro-
tein than is usually found in corn will
enable the farmer to produce a certain
weight of pork on a variety as cheap
" as on corn, though less fat win be
the result. Bran, linseed meal, steam
ed clover, whey and cooked roots viii
make more and better pork than can
be obtained by the exclusive use of
corn, but high grade protein materials
may be derived from corn. $@ ksA6

bad cases, especially where they do not

In cases where roup predominates or
where the suborbital sinus becomes
filed with pus and the eye is greatly
distended there are several lines of
treatment that may be followed. In
the early stages apply sweet oil or
olive oil to the nostrils and If possible
inject some of this oil into the nasal
passages by using a small nozzle and
syringe. After injecting or applying
the oil apply pressure over the distend-

the pus as possible. This may be re
peated twice per day.
