The rule for determining the number of
bushels of corn crib of given dimensions
will hold is as follows: When. the crib
Is equilateral multiply the length in
inches by the breadth in inches, and this
again by the height in inches. Then di-
/ vide the product by 2,74s, which is the
number of cubic inches in heaped BUSH
ell The quotient will be the number of
bushels of ear corn contained in the
crib. Two-thirds of the quotient will give
you approximately the number of BUSH
els Of shell corn in the crib
If Che crib is not square, but has far
ing Eldes, the method OF procedure is as
follows: Multiply the sum of the top AMI
bottom widths in inches by the perpen-
dicular height in inches, and this again
by the length in inches. and then divide
the product by 2,74s. The quoitant will
again be the number of bushels of corn
in the ear, and two-thirds of the quotient
will give the number OF bushels of shelled
corn 4 crib Is 1-2x6 1-2xS feet would con-

You are probable familiar with the prus-
sic acid poisoning of live stock when
grazed on sorghum and Kaffir corn. This
trouble is rarely met with in the eastern
states, and if 1 am correctly informed,
prussic acid has never been detected in

We have fed shredded corn stalks to
horses. beef and dairy cattle for many
years without any injurious results. Prob
ably during that time we may have had
one or two cases OF impaction OF the ru-
men which can be treated, as you know,
by the use of purgatives and other cor
receive medicines If taken in time. SO far
as I know. we have never had a single
death among the live stock handled in all
these years that could be attributed d.
rectly to corn stalks 1t is true that some
deaths occur in the fiel where animals
craze on the stalks at certain seasons and
under peculiar conditions, but the loss
from this source Is minimized when you
consider the large number of animals
that are successfully grazed on stalk
fields and the immense amount of corn
slower that is used for feed for all classes
Of farm stock. AS matter Of fact most
of the deaths from the so-called corn
stalk disease have occurred In the field
and not from the use Of shredded slower
in the stall. 1t is claimed that in some
seasons when the corn makes an unusu-
any vigorous growth the trouble Is
most commonly observed, but we think
in your case you need have little fear
that injurious results will follow the use
of corn slower, and we would advise you
shredder and put the feed in the most de-
sirable and palatable form for your stock.
1t has been shown that a good quality of
shredded slower may be made to practi-
cally take the place of timothy hay in
feeding horses and cattle, and as we pro-
duce such large quantities of slower which
are wasted, il would be a matter of great
economy to the farmers Of Georgia to
use this valuable food. We are making
a large quantity of II on the college farm
this year and IL will be the chief mainte-
nance of our work stock, as it has been
in the past One should feed it with
some discretion, however. and not allow
the animals to gorge themselves on so
much dry feed, as. ii is liable to make
them sick but where proper precautions
are taken no trouble will follow. Where
trouble does occur it is often the result
of acute Indigestion which results from
the formation of some poisonous matter
in the animal system, or it may be that
in certain extraordinary conditions the
poison sometimes forms in the stalk of
corn, as it is known to form in sorghum
and Kaffir corn in the western states

OF SORE EYES IN
HORSES


HORSES.
w. H. s., Commerce, Ga. writes:
have 1s-year-old mule which has an az
fected eye. 1t began to show a blush
spot on the upper front part of eyeban.
The spot is coming down and enlarging.
He can see some yet out of it. The
spot is a little graduated; doesn't seem
to be sore. I would like to know what
is the matter and what to do for it?
Your mule is probably suffering from
an attack of what is known as periodic
opthalmia or moon blindness, a disease
not uncommon with an animal as old as
the one affected. While the cause of this
trouble is not generally known, II Is
thought to be produced by certain germs
or parasites. The changes of the moon
have nothing whatever to do with the
disease, Notwithstanding the name by
which 1t is often known. As there is a
tendency for this trouble to be heredi-
tary, animals should not be bred that
are afflicted with It. While this disease
is more or less OF a recurrent nature;
as q rule 1t leads to total or permanent
blindness When attacked the mule
should be placed in a darkened stall and
the following treatment given: Battle the
eyes with hot water three times daily
for at least 20 minutes at time, and
after this apply a few drops of a solu-
ton of boric acid in the proportion of
one dram to three ounces of water twice
daily with a medicine dropper. You can
secure a medicine dropper at any drug
store at a cost of a few cents. Iodide of
potash I'm one dram doses may some times
be given internally a drench once
daily for three or four days. 1t should
then be withheld for the same period
and repeated again. Quinine in dram
doses twice daily is some times beneficial
in building up the system and enabling
the animal to throw off the affection.

Letter Carriers to Have Hospital.

A sanitsrium FOR consumptives is to be
erected by the National Association of
Mail Carriers on a site adjoining the
sanitarium maintained by the Interna-
tional Typographical union at Colorado
Springs.
The site includes 165 lots and the land
was secured yesterday. The cost of the
buildings to be erected is estimated at
$27 900. The maintenance cost is esti-
mated at So, 900, although if patients are
admitted free the cost will be $6, 900 per
year. A sinking fund of $l50,000 is to
be provided, the interest at 6 per cent to
provide for the maintenance.

Scarlet Fever,

There are a few cases of Scarlet Fever
in Custer. 1t has been quite prevalent
throughout the Northern Hills and in
adjoining States. A dispatch from Goth
enburg, Neb., says:
Churches, lodges, clubs, places of
amusement and all other public gather
ings of adults or children have been
placed under a ban by proclamation
issued by the Board of Health in an
effort to stop the ravages of Scarlet
Fever.
"The notice signed by the Mayor, be-
sides forbidding public assemblages,
orders that all children under the age of
lS years shall remain at home and not
be allowed on the streets, or to associate
with other families. An appeal is made
to parents to help stamp out the disease,
which is declared to be epidemic"
This is one of the most insidious dis
eases to combat known to the medical
profession. Our city authorities should
take every precaution possible to pre-
vent the spread Of this disease and use
every effort to prevent its becoming
epidemic.

The people east of the river have
been at it again. They have control of
the legislature and have been passing
more laws to make people good. The
statutory goodness of our friends east f
the river is marvellous. To meet them
they seem like just common mortals.
And when some of them visit us they
seem to want to be as bad as we are
possibly Just out of courtesy-but when
we read the laws they make their good
ness is almost appalling. Sometimes
we think they are just trying to see
how far they can 90 with US of the
Hills without our giving up all effort to
remain law-abiding. We no soouer get
used to going down cellar to play poker
than they make us drink standing up
where our wives can see us. And by
the time uor wives get used to this we
are required to forego Sunday amuse-
ments. Now they have made it crime
to invite friend to take drink. Some
day they will 60 too far and the Black
Hills people will all move to Denver.

The Great White Plague.

Efforts at last are being made to edu-
cate our people in the dangers that lie
in tuberculosis. Fraternal societies,
state governments, and private organ
izations are now engaged in campaign
of education along this line. No better
movement for the amelioration of man
kind could be inaugurated. A united
effort will result in vast benefit to man.
kind in general. A human life is worth
more than coin. Indeed, it is to be set
in value above all things else. Emerson
has said that ''the first wealth is health"
He has thus expressed it well.
All of US can do our share in this
great work, We can begin doing it at
home. The first step is to do those
things that We know will prevent the
dread disease. 1t is conceded generally
that the breathing of pure air is essential
to perfect health. Especially is this 30
in our sleeping hours, Storm windows
are an abomination in sleeping rooms.
Under no circumstances, no matter how
low the thermometer, should we sleep
in rooms that do not admit fresh air in
generous quantities. Not only should
there be no storm windows to sleeping
rooms, but the windows to such should
be open at night. Better yet, one should
so arrange his house as to permit of his
sleeping in the open air. This is moi
such a hard thing to do as one may
imagine at first glance. The severity o.
the weather can be counterbalaneed by
the amount of covering. Not only will
sleeping in the open air prevent the dis
ease, but it will cure it in its early
stages. Modern Brotherhood.

Seal Your Envelopes

Uncle Sam has found it necessary to
safeguard the health of his postal en-
ployes. Some time ago it was found
that postal cards decorated with tinsel
and other poisonous matter were direct
ly responsible for many cases of serious
illness of postal clerks who had handled
such mail. In consequence rule was
adopted compelling all persons sending
cards of that nature through the mails
to enclose them in envelopes. According
to an order received this morning at the
pcstoface the mere enclosure of the
poisonous cards in envelopes has been
found not to give the relief sought.
The envelopes must be tightly sealed to
prevent the escape of poisonous particles.
The order now reads:
"Cards bearing particles of glass
metal mica, sand tinsel, or other sim
liar substances are unmailable, except
when enclosed in envelopes that are
tightly sealed to prevent the escape o.
such particles, or when treated in such
a manner as will prevent the objection
able substances from being rubbed off oi
! iniuring persons handling the mails"

"There is one feature of the postoffice
system that the public is not familiar
with which I think would do to make

women receiving letters at the general
delivery. The rule applies to girls OF l6
years of age or under. They are not
permitted to receive letters at the gen.
eral delivery unless they can show the
best of authority and give some reason
why their mail is not addressed to their
homes. If they cannot give a salts

letters. This is done to prevent girls

A Word Of Caution.

The attention of our reporter has been
called to the fact that some parties have
been careless about throwing slops in
the streets and alleys. 1t should not be
allowed. From sanitary point of view
it is liable to cause an infectious or con-
tagious disease to spread and become
epidemic. The discharges from sick
person should be placed in slop bucket
having tight cover, disinfect with car
bolic acid, chloride of lime, or fresh un-
Stacked lime, the lid placed on secure so
as not to allow evaporation, and allowed
to stand from one-half to one hour, then
carried out and thrown into a privy
vault-never empty in the open air,
even if you are in hurry. Neither
should discharges from the sick-either
adult or child-be carried in an open
vessel from the bedside to an out-closet.
If you have sickness of any nature
procure a bed-pan and observe these
suggestions. We hope a word of caution
will be sufficient. Should such facts be
reported to the State Board of Health,
it would cost the party guilty of such
gross careessness more than dozen
slop-buckets.

Our OPINION OF The Two-Cent Fare Bill

Our OPINION OF The Two-Cent Fare Bill.
The two-cent fare bill is law, but to
say the least, foolishness of the legis.
lature that passed the bill, will stick to
this state for long time. Fancy asking
and begging man to come to country
to open itup and then telling him he
must sell his goods at loss. What this
country is wanting is railroads and they
ought to have every advantage given
them until they get a footing. With
the towns so far apart on the Burlington
the two-cent fare is foolish. If they
had gone for freight business, it might
have been different, as for instance the
minimum rate, but to trckle the pass
enger business was piece of great
absurdity. The present prices are low
enough in all conscience and should
have been upheld instead of being
lowered. .-Edgemont Express.
