Consider the Cob.
In passing Il would be well to call htten-
ton to another part Of the corn plant
which is considered a more or less useless
thing by the farmer namely, the cob.
With the increased knowledge which ex-
perimental work has developed at the agrt-
cultural college and stations the useful
ness OF this material as a stock food when
ground In connection with grain has been
shown.
Large quantities, therefore, Of ground
grain and cobs are now used for feeding.
The cob iB also ground and mixed With
various highly concentrated feed, such as
cotton seed meal, and sold for stock food.
Large quantities OF oobs, furthermore, are
utilized in certain parts Of the Mississippi
valley In the manufacture Of corncob pipes.
An interesting and useful phase OF corn
growing occurs in connection with the pro-
duction Of sugar corn, or sweet corn, for
home use as roasting ears and for canning
Hardly a garden in this country is com
plets without its patch OF sweet corn for
table use, and in the states Of New York,
Maine and Illinois especially large areas
are planted exclusively for canning pur-
poses. It IL the common practice OF the
factories to make contracts with farmers
for the corn 20 be delivered and as the
ears are gathered early the farmer has a
fine and useful forage for feeding to live
stock.
OF the popeorns there are twenty-five or
thirty different kinds grown in all parts Of
the country, but In commercial way
largely in three or four northern states,
principally Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Immense quantities Of popcorn are used by
oonfsctoners, three or four hundred car
loads being shipped each year from a
single point in some Of the states mem
toned
Popcorn Is an especially hard fIinty type
and pops when heated by reason OF the
rapid change OF the moisture In the starch
grain to steam The explosion wrecks the
wall of the cells constituting the grain
proper resulting In the well known staruhy
mass little resembling the original kernel.
At one time popcorn was grown In a
small way by many farmers and found its
way into trade largely through the country
stores. Now, however, as indicated, the In
/ dustry has become centralized and special.

BEAVERS HAVE BIG HARVEST
Activities Of One Colony Of the Busy
Little Animals.
HOME BUILDING FOR WINTER
Cot Down -Four Hundred Trees,

Camp.

A man who watched a colony Of beavers
set in their winter harvest tells Just how
they did Il in Recreation. It was the Spruce
Tree colony, one OF sixteen beaver NUM-
cipallties on the slope Of Longs peak IN
the Colorado Rockies
Aspen bark is the favorits food Of the
North American beaver with willow, cot
tonwood. alder and birch as lesser favor
ties. This was an old beaver settlement
and they had about cleared up all the
nearby growths OF aspen.
The investigator examined other aspen
supplies IN the nsighborhood also the
beavers line Of transportation runways
canals and ponds. and decided that this
years harvest would be brought from a
grove about a quarter Of a mile from the
house and about 80 feet above II.
I'm this grove" he says, Il cut three
notches In the trunks Of several trees. Then
I explored the colony grounds which occu-
pied Bsveral acres in terraced steep slope
Of mountain morains Here they had sew
ersl ponds with dams and falls The en-
tire place was pierced with passageways
and tunnels. The water from all the
terraces was gathered in a pond at the
bottom measuring 600 feet in circumference.
Its dam was six feet high, zoo feet long
and very crooked, In it's upper edge stood
the main house, which was eight feet high
and forty feet in circumference.
Harvest Had Begun.
"Forty-eight hours after I mad notched
the trees l returned to investigate. Harvest
had begun. One Of the largest Of the
notched trees had been felled and removed.
The gnawed stump was six inches in diam
etsr. The limbs had been trimmed off and

stump. The eiEhteen-inch trunk had been
cut into lengths Of from three to six feet.
then these little logs were started toward
the harvest pile.
From the spot where cut the logs were
evidently rolled down a steep. grassy
seventy-fOot slope, at the bottom of this
dragged an equal distance over a level
stretch among some lodgepole pines and
then pushed or dragged along a narrow
runway that had been cut through a rank
growth of willows, once through the will
lows they were pushed into the uppermost
pond.
Across this they were taken, forced over
the dam on the opposite side and shot
down a slide into the pond which contained
the smaller house, II was good work to
have got them so quickly to this place.
But no logs could be found by the house
or in the pond. The folks OF this place
had not yet laid up anything for winter.
'On the opposite Of this pond 1 found
where the logs had been dragged into q
long wet slide, which landed them in q
small, shallow harbor in the grass. From
this point a canal about eighty feet long
ran around the brow Of the terrace and
ended over the top OF long slide which
reached to the big pond.
Pile of Winter Supplies.
Through this canal the logs had been
taken one by one. At the further end I
found the largest log. II probably had
been too heavy to heave out Of the canal;

An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of

This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. 1t penetrates

blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
