Mr.. E. c. Mcleod is just back

land and few states can show more
beautiful scenic attractions. The
farming industry, he says, has under
gone a revolution and an evolution
since he was there. In those days
some farmers thought it an extrava-
gance to put four hundred pounds of
fertilizer on an acre of ground. Now
they put as many as fifteen hundred
pounds, and the average yield of corn
SO fertiliZed is eighty bushels to the
acre. 1t pays to fertilize, for the rea-
son that much less yield per acre
requires the same amount of labor, or
very nearly as much. Mr.. Mcleod
says that the crops look we'll, and the
farmers are prosperous and happy.

BABYs TERRIBLE SUFFERING

his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began In pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when / removed his

I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura

MUSHROOMS AND
TOADSTOOLS

By ERNST A. BESSEY. East Lansing, Mich.
Professor Of Botany. Michigan Agricultural College
b>>>>>>>>>>>>><>>>>>>>>>>>>
The abundant fall of rains having
brought out large crop Of fungi
In the woods fields and lawns. the
old question has come again to the
fore:- How can tell mushrooms from
toadstools?" In the first place, the
words mushrooms and toadstools are
practically synonymous. Is being In
correct to reserve the first name for
the edible and the second for the poi
sonous species. To put the question
In correct form, one should ask How
shall l distinguish edible from poison
GUS mushrooms?"
In the first place, there is no one
rule which can be used to distinguish
the two. The following rules are dan
gerous, because they do not distin-
guish the edible from the poisonous
ones, viz: Cooking the mumshrooms
with silver spoon, putting salt upon
the under side of the gill to notice
whether they change color; the pres
ence of pink gills; the fact that the
skin of the cap will peel of easily; the
fact that the taste is mild, etc. AS
for the silver spoon, nearly every
mushroom, whether edible or poison
GUS, will turn silver spoon black II
the mushroom is a little old, while
most mushrooms whether poisonous or
otherwise, II fresh. will not blacken the
spoon. The Grange Of color Of the gills
due to salt has nothing to do with
their poisonous quality. 1t is true that
the common cultivated mushroom,
which is the same as the common field
mushroom. has pink gills when young,
but there are some species Of pink
gills which are looked upon by botan.
lists with great suspicion. AS for the
peeling on of the skin Of the cap, that
is q characteristic which Is common
to some Of the poisonous ones as well
as to some of the edible ones. Indeed
some of the edible ones do not pee
| well. The taste cannot be used as 9
criterion. for some of, the most dead
| ~ mushrooms are pleasant to the
! taste, while some of the most whole
some ones are. before cooking. very
peppery.
There il one good rule. and It II
| the only safe one. namely, know thu
| particular mushroom you wish to eai
q well - you would know your bes'
| friend. Never eat I mushroom on TIL

ton is approached. On the other hand.
however. the shape OF the head
changes very little with the condition
of the body as 1t consists Of bony
framework covered by sparse mus
cles and skin. The shape of the head
and expression of the eye are valu-
able factors in enabling the feeder to
select the best types of feeder ami
mails. An animal with a long narrow
head. small muzzle, small nervous
eyes would be almost sure to possess
the very opposite qualities as de-
scribed In the standard for perfect
beef animal and would have back OF
such head long slim neck, long
legs placed close together, a sharp
back, fiat ribs and narrow. poorly
feshed shoulders and hind quarters.
The eye would indicate tempera
ment the opposite of that desired in
q good feeder. The correlation OF
parts in the animal body is so close
and intimate that the stockman who
has observed closely should be able
to give an accurate description of the
general conformation of the finished
body of an animal with the head only
exposed to view as in the case OF one
projected out through an open win
dow with the body concealed.
The short broad head and large
placid eye shown in the accompanying
illustration belong to very unusually
well developed beef type body.

know his mushrooms well enough to
be sure of his Identification of the
mushroom. When In doubt. do not eat.
is safe rule that ought to be fol-
lowed by every would-be mushroom
eater. Another point always to be OBJ
served Is, do not look at Just one or
two of the specimens in your basket,
and on finding them good, Judge that
the whole basketball are safe to eat.
1t may happen that the ones you pick
ed up were wholesome ones, while 9TH
ers In the same basket were OF poison
GUS kind.
II is only by trial of the different
species that It has been determined
which ones are poisonous and which
ones are not. II you find certain mush-
rooms are abundant and you have no
one to inform you whether they are ed
ible or not, this can be determined by
trial. Eat first small piece no bigger
than the head Of very small hat
pin. II. after one-half hour or SO, there
is no discomfort, try a piece as large
as pea. Wait two or three hours be-
fore eating any large piece. II you
still have no trouble. eat a piece as
big as the end of your little finger. II
this still has no bad effect, II probably
will be safe to eat the whole OF a
small specimen. II this is harmless,
you probably can eat that variety with
safety.
One last word about mushrooms.
never eat them after they are old
and infected with masgots or after
they have become very dark color or.
In the case of the puffballs, after the
inside has begun to get spongy and
somewhat brownish rather than firm
and white. Again I repeat, never eat
mushroom that you do not know. for
for although 1t is true that there are
probably dozens of wholesome kinds
for every poisonous kind. yet. II you

For this reason, seed corn should be grown in the locality in which 1t is to be used. We attach much importance to heredity and breed ing in the case of live stock. It is of equal importance in seed selec- tion. With but little care and trouble the farmer can improve his corn from year to year. The yield

Order New fqeipment.

Contracts have been let recently by the Missouri Pacific-Iron Noun tain railroads for fifty passenger service coaches. The order in- cludes eleven chair cars, eight reg ular passenger coaches and two divided passenger coaches which are to be built by the Pullman company, and fifteen baggage cars and fourteen mail cars. the con- tract for which was been awarded to the American Gar & Foundry company who will construct them at their St Charles. Mo-, shops.
 Under the contract all of the fifty cars are to be built on the steel construction plan and are to be equipped with the most modern safety devices. The passenger cars are to have in addition every improvement in the line of comfort and are to be electric lighted and finished in mahogny with latest de- signs of comfortable seats. which are to be plush upholstered. The most modern heating is also called for in the specifications.
 The cars for which contracts were let are in addition to the large of dining cars, passen- ger coaches. mail and baggage cars which the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain have been receiving lately from the American Gar & Foundry company shops at St. Charles. The latter cars. now ar irving, are also constructed on the most modern plans.
 Since President B. F. Bush took hold of these lines he has also let a contract with the American Loco motive Works for fifty freight en- zines of the Mikado type. Under the agreement made these engines are to be delivered the latter part of the present month.
 Bids have also been asked from leading manufacturers for a large number of passenger locomotives and big equipment of freight cars It is expected that these orders will be placed within the next week or two.
 Fifty thousand tons of heavy steel rail ordered by these lines short time ago have been received, and the track is being re-lad with them. Another big order for steel rails is expected to be placed with in 9 short time.

per acre may very easily be in- creased three to ten bushels when proper methods of seed selection are used.
 If you have a small patch of ground that looks good. and if the ground is neither too fertile nor too poor, it would be better to se- lect seed corn for the first year from this patch.
 When the ears are approaching maturity. go into the field and make preliminary selection. The stalk itself should be elght or nine feet tall, having broad, well devel- oped, well coIored leaves and q strong, well-formed, healthy tassel. The stalk should be upright, large and sturdy at the base and taper ing evenly at the top. An ear with close fitting shuck and with a tendency to turn downward should be selected An ear that natures early should be preferred. If you find only one ear on a stalk that meets your approval, select that ear. If two ears are well devel-- oped. select both. When gather ing time comes. thow these pre- viously selected ears into a box attached to the side of the wagon.
 These ears should be placed in the loft of the barn or in some dry place where the air circulates free ly. This will enable the ear to dry out quickly and loss of germinating power by freezing will be prevented.
