Another convenient way of storing
corn is to take a board, say 10 by 20
inches, and drive 12-penny casing
nails through it from both sides
three inches apart each way and stick
the ears on these nails. Bore a hole
in the top of the board and suspend
with a wire.
If corn is stored in barrels OF piled
up it will not dry out as well as if
stored in racks, and when freezing
weather comes on it will be injured.
If thoroughly dry. a evere freeze will
not inquire the vitality of corn to any
appreciate extent.

THE VENEER WRAPPER FOUND
EFFICIENT AND ECONOMIC.
BY w. II. Chandler, Assistant Pro-
lessor of Horticulture, Col
lege of Agriculture. Uni
versity Of Missouri.

Protection of young orcharGL
against rabbits is a matter that can
not be attended to too early. Where
orchards are valuable enough, the rab-
bits may be combatteG by means Of
rabbit-proof fences. In sections where
a great many orchards are located, by
combined efforts of the growers the
rabbits may be killed out in the com.
munity. In a large percentage of
cases, however, they will have to be
combatted by protecting each indi
vidual tree.
There are a number Ct appliances
for protecting the trees against rab.
bits, but probably by far the best, il
not also the cheapest, is the wood
veneer wrapper. These are simply
very thin strips of tough wood about
10 inches wide by Is to "a inches high
that are wrapped around the trees
The best ones have the base of the
wrappers treated with a preparation
to prevent rotting.

being used, should always be moist
ened SO it will wrap around the tree
without splitting. The wrappers are
then placed around the trees with the
base pressed closely against the sol
and are fastened with small wires
The wires should be cut the proper
length before going into the orchard
The ends Of the wire are given only
n twist. Sometimes n wire il
used and sometimes two.
These wood veneer wrappers ar,
beneficial also in protecting the tree
against borers. So, after they ar,
put on it is we'll to mound the soil VI
about two or three inches around tn,
base.

Mystery Of Life and Death.

In many cases of death, as, for in
stance, from drowning, the tissues re-
main absolutely unchanged, yet where
there was life before there is now no
life; something has gone out that Co
ordinated the physical and chemical
forces of the body, kept them at work,
prevented them from interfering with
each other, kept the cells in equilib-
rum and was the soirce Of all the
energy in the body. There is the BAT
fling mystery Of life-and Of death.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1912-10-17


Cost and all considered, the use
of the veneer wrapper IS to be recon-
mended in nearly all cases. The cost
of the wrapper will vary from S4 to
Sc a thousand, depending on the
height. The usual price is S. a thou
sand for wrappers 20 inches high.
They may be secured from almost
any box and basket company.
Probably the next most important
means of protection again rabbits is
the use of heavy wrapping paper. This
paper should be in strips about 20
inches wide and should be wrapped
around the tree in at least two thick
nesses extending to the ground at the
base. 1t should be tied at the top,
bottom and middle. Since it is also
valuable in protecting against borers,
the earth should be mounded slightly
at the bottom as in the case of the
veneer wrapper. In a few cases rab-
bits have been known to tear this
paper off.
Wrapping with wire netting is also
satisfactory, though more expensive
than the above methods. A coil spring
of heavy wire around the tree seems
to be a very satisfactory protection
against rabbits, though these offer no
protection against borers.
If the orchard is small and none of
these materials are available, wrap
! ping trees with pieces of cornstalks
about 20 inches long set up around
| them and tied is entirely satisfactory.
Old newspapers wrapped several
times around are also used. Tie Sc.
curely at top, bottom and middle.

Salt is found necessary to the
health Of all farm stock. 1t tones up
the animal system, keeps the skin
soft and increases the appetite. In
the case Of hogs and sheep, salt keeps
the system in a condition less liable
to disease. This is probably true with
cattle and horses to a less degree. All
stock should have access to salt at all
times or should have it mixed in their
feeds.

No PENSION MONEY
UNTIL FEBRUARY
LIST IN GLYNN COUNTY HAS
BEEN GREATLY INCREASED
UNDER NEW LAW. 80,

According to information sent out
from Atlanta, Georgia pensioners will
not receive their money until some
time in. February. 1t was generally
expected that this money would be
distributed before this time, but the
fact that the salaries of the school
teachers came due and the further
fact that the states exchequer was
not running over with funds, made it
necessary to postpone the payment
of the pensioners until next month.
Glynn county will distribute an un-
usually large sum of money among
her pensioners this year, as there are
large number entitled to pensions
under the new state pension law. Up
to this year there had been a very
small number OF veterans and widows
who received a state pension, but a
large number We're added this year,
when the new law went into effect

ty at present and how much money
will be distributed among them is not

Republicans Make Demand


Marking, Jan. 19-The republican
government today sent an appeal to
the powers for recognition. This took
the form of a circular which was sent
to Washington, Toxic, London, Paris,
Berlin and st. Petersburg, and was
signed by Wang Chung Wei, the for
eign minister of the republican cabi-
net.
Those demands which were tele-
graphed today to Premier Yuan Shi
Kai at PekinI are drastic and Isubstan-
TALLY as follows: 8
Abdicationi Of the throne and sur
render of the sovereign powers.
No Manchu may participate in the
provisional government; the capital
Of the provisional government cannot
be established at Pekin; Premier
Yuan Shi Kai cannot participate in
the provisional government until the
rep lblic has been recognized by the
foreign powers and the country has
been restored to peace.
Todays decided action by the re-
publican government is due to Premi-
.er Yuan Shi Kai's demand that DR..
Sun vat Sen resign the presidency,
permitting Yuan sni Kai to exercise
sovereign yowers until the national
convention which is to be called to
decide on the form of government Of
China shall have reached a conclusion.
In the meantime Premier Yuan Shi
Kai desires the court to retire tenn
porarily transferring its powers to
him. The court, howevsFS objected to
leaving Pekin until the national con-
vention had reached decision.

GETTING THINGS IN SHAPE TOT
TAKE DEFINITE q
-oas ACTION. al
Property owners Along Newcastle
Street are Asked if They, Are VIE
ing to Cooperate to Make White
Way Certainty. a72H

The Retail Merchants and Business
Mems association has not given ND
the idea of a great white way for New
castle street. Indeed, the. association
has been busy on the question since
the holidays and is now getting every
thing in such shape that they can,
probably at their next meeting, reach
some definite decision.
Unusual delay, however, has been
caused in this matter by information
which the merchants desired before
they could proceed. Most of this in
formation was secured by them during
the Christmas holidays,at time when
the merchants were all too busy to
give the matter their attention and
no meeting has since been held by
the association. A f2L
The proposition has now reached
such shape that all business people
along the. proposed white way have
been asked just what they think of
the proposition, whether or not they
are willing to cooperate in the effort,
and, as soon as answers are received
from all those interested the organi-
cation will be in position to take some
action,
While it is known that a large ma
.jority of the property owners are
heartily in favor of the movement,
still it will take the unanimous CO.
operation of them all to make the
white way a. reality, for the simple
reason that every property owner in
the district to. be. covered by the lights
will have to agree to the proposition.
Just one owner can stop the whole
thing, but it is, not believed that there
is a. single person along the street
who will not be willing to pay out
the small amount that it will cost to
install the white way
AS stated the merchants hope to
have the matter in such shape by their
next meeting to take some final ac-
ton.
