1870 only about 10000 acres OF land

The first systematic application OF
irrigation to be made by the whites In
the United States was inaugurated by
the Mormons on the shores OF the
Great Salt lake In 1s4T. The Nor

DRY ROT IN CORN.
A Disease Which Threatens to Be.
come q Serious Matter.

come q Serious Matter.
The name dry rot is derived from
the way the ears are affected In the
field sin general the husks tend to
turn prematurely yellow TO sooty. and
the ear becomes partially or wholly
shrlveled and much decreased In
weight. Sometimes the ears remain
upright with the husks closely adber-
ing to them. In other cases the shanks
are weakened, and the affected ears
hang limp from their attachment, or
the diseased condition may not be de-
tccted until the husk is removed"
There are several kinds Of dry rot,
due to different causes. The most
common and that which has during
the past two seasons caused about 30
per cent OF the damage In Illinois is
due to fungus known as Diplodia
maydis. Ears infected with this fun
gus "shrlvel up more or less, darken
In color and become light IN weight"
The kernels are also shrlveled, very
brittle and loosely attached to the cob.
The fungus penetrates all portions OF
the ear, kernels, cob and husks and
produces many dark brown, two celled
spores which serve to propagate the
fungus.
In the case Of the diplodla disease
and quite probably in that OF the other
forms the fungus perpetuates itself
over winter on the old diseased ears
and old stalks. II Is not usually diff
cult to find throughout the summer In
old cornfelds, where the disease has
previously prevailed, many pieces OF
old cornstalks which are infected with
the diplodia fungus. Stalks known to
be two years old have been found still
producing spores. During moist period
spores ooze from these stalks In abun.
dance and are blown singly or In
masses long distances, as has been fire.
qnently demonstrated by experiment.
The fungus does not, according to
present knowledge, grow upon any
other host and upon developing corn
only on the ears. Not so much Is
known Of the other fungi here con-
cerned, but since 80 per cent Of the
rot Is due to dlplodia less attention
need be given to them. Diseased ears
are fruitful sources Of subsequent In.
lection and should be removed as
promptly as possible. This can be
readily done. at the time Of husking
II not before. Keep them In separate
receptacle and burn them as soon as
practicable. In addition to this, In
fields where any considerable amount
OF disease has been found, the stalks
should also have attention, whatever
crop Is to follow. Something may be
gained by carefully blowing them I'M

burning may be required even II this

sILAGE FOR MILK COWS.
Most Profitable Way to Feed This
Valuable Ration.

Valuable Ration.
BY NJ. A. GOODRICH.
Perhaps there is more benefit derived
from silage by feeding It to milk cows
than by feeding 1t to any other KIND
OF stock. AT any rate, II Is used more
and thought more OF by dairymen than
bv any other class Of farmers.
Cows should never be fed exclusively
on sIlage. They need some dry forage
to go with It; they need variety, Be
sides this, corn silage is carbona-
ceous food and needs some more nitrog-
enous food to go with 1t to make
well balanced ration. About thirty
or at most forty pounds day OF
sIlage is as much as should be fed to
each COW. II should be fed from the
top Of the silo, taking of about two
inches in depth from the entire sur
face each day. for II II is long exposed
to the air 1t will be damaged. II the
feeding commences Immediately after
filling the siIo-and this is good way
to do it--there will be no damaged

face smooth and even and not pick ana

can be attributed to its palatabilify.
They even prefer 1t, to certain ex'

cows in June when on good pasture

Keenina Eyes Bright.

There is no surer giveaway of age
or indicator of ill-health than the
eye. It has been called "the window
of the SOUL" 1t might more truly be
dubbed the doorplate of the body and
its habits. Many woman who has a
soul above reproach has eyes that
show her body to be all wrong.
II one is fatigued, Is over fond of
eating, is a night owl, or is over
strained, the eye will be dull, heavy
and lifeless. Above all, the eye is
the sign of physical upheavals.
When the eye Is not bright and
clear, especially If 1t looks puffy or
has that "sick look" keep a sharp
watch for your health. 1t may be
only billiousness, but It may also be
kidney trouble or internal disarrange-
ment. Whatever the cause 1t is time
to discover it.
This is far wiser plan than to
take anything to keepthe eyes bright.
There are women so foolish as to eat
arsenic under the impression that It
will brighten their eyes. 1t will also
ruin their nerves, weaken the heart,
and may eventually mean invalidism
for life.
Even more foolish is it to put
drops in the eyes to give them luster.
Why tamper with our most precious
possession? Never use anything in
the eye without consulting an ocu-
list. II is not safe to take risks with
delicate organ. II nothing else de-
ters, the fear of glasses should teach
sense.
Should the eyes feel heavy they
may often be freshened by bathing
with weak salt water, either hot or
cold. This can do no harm, and by
relieving strained conditions will fire.
quently improve the luster.
One woman says she has used a
little orange Juice in her eyes for
years without injuring them. A few
drops are inserted in the eye with a
dropper. After the first smart the
eyes are brighter and clearer. AS
this might be injurious to other wom-
en-, though not harmful in itself, it
should not be used without the ad-
vice of physician. - Philadelphia
