CORN ON THE COB IS THE BEST

Indian corn is the common swine
food in the great pork-producing dis
tricts of America. In the corn belt
most Of the corn is fed on the cob, a
commendable practice, since 1t in

the early fall, corn may be fed in the

ties. II much is eaten, digestive de-
rangements follow. AS the kernels
harden, the corn may be supplied in
larger quantities. Pigs that have been
pastured during the summer incur less
risk from eating new corn.
Many feeders believe they can OBJ

sound corn. AS soft corn contains less
starch than mature corn, it is advisa-

Numerous experiments have been
conducted in recent years on the value
of corn prepared in various ways. The
most common Of these are cooking,
grinding, and soaking.

WHY SOME OHIO FRUIT TREES DON'T BEAR

Here we would probably do we'll to re.
place the tree. 1t may have been the
fault of the budder or CRATER in Sc.
curing his stock and cions.
Impotent Pollen.
A rather common cause of barren
trees is the fact that they are self
sterile" This again is somewhat diff
ficult to explain because of the varia
bility of different trees. Sometimes
the Kiefer pear is self fertile and
sometimes self sterile, and the same is
true of many others, while some al
ways seem to be self sterile or sell
fertile. 1t is common complaint that
a person has fine, big fruit tree
which is healthy and always blossoms
full, but never sets any fruit or very
little. On inquiry, it is learned that
fertilization with other varieties
here is big chance in this case that
the tree is self sterile and it can be
corrected only by planting another va
riety near by, or grating some others
through the branches, when it will be
come quite productive.
Insects and Diseases.
Some trees lose practically all theil
fruit through being stung by insects
such as a bad outbreak of curculio or
plum or peach trees. Al thorough
spraying and jarring of the trees viii
overcome this trouble.
If the trees are defoliated year after
year by peach leaf curl, scab or leai
spot of the apple, or some other trou
be, the trees may eventually become
so weakened that they can not pro
duce vigorous fruit buds, and If any
fruit sets at all it drops prematurely
from lack of vigor.
Frosts.
Frosts often cause lack of fruit fol
a certain season, but we would not ex
pect it to occur several seasons in sue
cession.
A study of these various causes may
reveal the trouble in your particular
case. J. H. GOURLEY,
