Maturity, Place of Storage and
Time Of Husking as Factors
Affecting the Viability
of Corn.

A few weeks ago the Expert
ment Station called attention to
the fact that the dry weather in
the fall was unfavorable to prop
er maturing of the corn crop
and that the early freezes had
undoubtedly killed the germs of
large quantities of it. As a conse-
quence good seed corn will be
hard to obtain in the spring 1t
was advised that every man be-
gin at once and test his own
corn and if it proved unfit to
plant to take steps to secure seed
from a reliable breeder.
To more accurately prove that
corn is in a bad condition the
Station sent a man out among
the farmers near Columbia to
get samples Of their corn. 1t was
taken from various places rang
ing from a good crib in the barn
to lying in the field. Ten kernels
were taken from twenty ears of

each variety that every man grew
who was visited. According TO
the statements of the farmers
some of this corn was husked
early, some late. Note was taken
where it was found stored.
The corn vas brought in and
terminated, the results being
classified under the following
heads:
Average per cent of germiha-
ton, early husked corn 944.
Average per cent of germina-
ton, late husked corn $50.
Average per cent of germina-
ton, corn stored in dry places
$50.
Average per cent of germina-
Ilon, IN held or open CRIB OIL
Average per cent Of germina-
ton, matured and dry 96.8.
Average per cent of germina-
ton corn matured but frozen
GIL.
From the foregoing it can
readily be seen hat there are at
least three factors that influence
she growing power of corn; they
are, 1. maturity, 2. husking be-
fore badly frozen and 3. storing
in a good dry place. Farmers not
having corn husked early nor
stored in a dry place are again
strongly advised to test their
corn.

How to Prevent Peaches from
Rotting.

AOW " @iSfehs reaches from
Rotting.
AT last we have a remedy for
preventing the peach rot which
50 often sweeps away the crop
just as it is ripening. This is a
solution known as self boiled
lime sulphur.
Heretofore nothing could be
done to prevent the spread OF the
rot because the usual spraying
materials caused too much INJURY
to leaves of the trees.
An insect known as curculic
helps to spread the rot by goug-
ing holes in the peaches. Some
times this bug punches holes in
the fruit for the purpose of de-
posting its eggs but more often
it seems to do so out of pure dew
iltry. The rot generally starts
from these wounds.
Paris green would poison the
curculio but it injuries the foliage
of the tree. Likewise Bordeaux
mixture would control the rot but
it is even more disastrous to the
leaves than Paris green. As a
substitute for Paris green a poi
son known as lead arsenate is
used and it has lately been
found by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture that it can be
combined with the newly discov-
cred self boiled lime sulphur So
luton and both sprayed on the
trees at the same time, thus con-
trolling both the insect and the
disease.
Self boiled lime sulphur is pre-
pared as follows for 100 gallons !;
Place l6 lbs. of fresh lime in a
barrel and almost cover with wa
ter. Weigh out 16 lbs. of sulphur
and run through a seive to
break up the Jumps. As the lime
begins to Stake add the sulphur
stirring it in. Continue stirring
and add more water as needed
to form a thick paste at first
and then gradually a thin paste.
The lime will supply enough heat
to boil the mixture several minu-
ties. As soon as the lime is well
slaked, enough cold water must
be added to cool down the whole
mixture or it will be ruined. Use
enough water to bring the entire
quantity Of the mass up to 100
gallons.
Use 4 lbs. of arsenate of lead
to 100 gallons of water, if used
alone, or to 100 gallons of the
lime-sulphur if both are to be
used at the same time.
Spray as follows: First with tn
lead arsenate alone "a lbs. to
100 of water when the shucks
are shedding. The second spray
ing should come from two to
three weeks later or about a
month after the petals drop, us
ing the lime sulphur and poison
combined. The last application
should be about one month be-
fore the fruit ripens, using the
self-boiled lime-sulphur alone.
The cost of materials, labor and
everything for three sprayings
as advertised above, will amount
to less than five cents per tree.
A pamphlet treating the above
subject in full is being publish
ed and will be sent free upon APP
plication to w. L. Howard, See

culture, Columbia, Mo.

it seems out Of place for a mere
man to offer such advice, but
really to cook an egg, have some
boiling water in a saucepan, put
in the egg, cover it, and let it
stand on the stove for five min

will find the white creamy, but
not hard, and the yoke as well
cooked as the white. Most things
cook better slowly than fast, and
it is a great mistake to think that

boiling water r necessary tC

SOCIETY WOMEN
LIKE Fasting
YOUNG NEW WORKERS CLAIM
THEY ARE BETTER FOR
WATER DIET.

New York, May 12-Three young
New York society women who are
fasting to improve their health are
succeeding in their task at Garden
City, L. l. The fast started Monday,
and today not one of the trio, compris-
ing Mrs. Keith Trask, Miss Marion
MacKellar and Miss Anne Townsend,
would admit that there was the least
bit of weakening on her part. All the
young women were in excellent condi-
ton to start with, seasoned by a life
OF much riding and golf and health
full outdoor exercise. 1t was just
general bracing up they wanted on the
recently much touted theory that fast
ing brings surcease of headache and
WEAKNESS and fortifies the system
against most bodily ills.
The weights of the young women
when they were weighed Monday
night were found to be: Miss MacKel-
lar 102 pounds; Miss Townsend, 1876
pounds and Mrs. Trask, 1875 pounds.
After the three days of absolute fast
ing are over they will again go upon
the scales Plenty of water to drink
has been all they have allowed them
selves since the fast started All in
sist that the fast so far has been bene-

which would have been regarded a.
few years ago as the topnotch for a
swift unarmored cruiser. She will

which should enable her to make the

speed. Parsons turbine engines, built
in the New York navy yard, Of tie
enormous power Of $4,000 horsepower,
will maintain the high speed of this
big ship and the steam will be supplied
by sectional boilers.
The main battery of the ship will
consist of ten twelve-inch rifles ar
ranged in pairs in turrets. Looking
at her bow-on one would think that
the Florida had what is called SUPER
posed or double decked turrets like
the Kearsage and the Kentucky. hut
as matter of fact there are only two
guns in each of the five turrets and the
second turret in the fore-part of the
ship is necessarily elevated on a sup
erstructure so as to be able to fire
freely over the top of the foremost
turret. There is a very formidable
secondary battery composed of sixteen
fve-inch rapid fire frers, four three
FOUNDERS, two one Founders and a
number of machine guns. There are
also two twenty one-inch submerged
tubes for torpedoes.

500 BUSY near

Bismarck, N. D., May ia special
from the Fort Berthold Indian reserva-
ton says that railroad talk in that
vicinity is very strong at present. The
surveyors for the Northern Pacific
are now working on reservation land.
The steamer Frayne passed Armstrong
this morning on her way UP the Mis-
souri, and she carried twenty -four
teams of horses, fifty men, two steam
shovels and a number of dump cars
besides a large number of rails and
ties.
These, it is understood, will be un-
loaded near the mouth of the Little
Missouri where the work on the new
road will be started The men will be-
gin work on the east bank of the Mis-
souri, and work eastward toward Tur-
tie lake. The new line is intended to
cross the 500 between Max and Gar
rison and it is supposed that the road
will be completed in time to carry the
traffic which will be originated when
the reservation is opened this fall.
