from shedding their spores on the
ground into the manure, and avoid
placing fresh manure on corn land.
Changing corn land from year to year
also is beneficial.
Since the smut-masses that are left
in a corn field may assist in spread
ing the disease, they should be cut
out of the field during the growing
season. They should, moreover, be
cut out before they have fully opened
up and spread their spores, and
should be collected and burned They
should not be thrown on the manure
heap or the refuse pile, thence to be
carried back to the land.
Rotation of crops is valuable in pre-
venting corn-smut. The reason for
this is plain. The corn-smut in the
soil will not live many years, and that
which is in the soil will not damage
any other farm crop. After several
years, corn may again be planted,
with less danger, since the smut in
the soil will have at least partly
died out.
Seed treatment has not been found
to be of any use. The smut does not
get into the Seeding plant, as in the
sinking smut of wheat, and hence
seed treatment does not seem neces-
sary.
The sugar corns seems to have
more smut than the field corns, though
no varieties even of the latter are
known that are free.

GLEANINGS FOR BEE LOVERS
BuckWheat Makes Fine Honey-LittIe
Insects Are Benefit to Orchard
Care In Moving.
(By A. JOSEPH.)

If you have the space and would
plant buckwheat you Will find it
makes fine honey. Plant it late so it
will bloom when all other flowers are
gone.
Some people think bees destroy
fruit, but that is not SO. The birds
pick the fruit and as usual thing
they bite at the ripest on the trees
and when the bees find these fruits,
they devour them and leave nothing
but pit and skin. The damage to ripe
fruit is never started by bees; and
after being damaged by the birds 1t
is useless for marketing and, If it ts
not removed from sound fruit next
to it, the one it touches will rot also.
Thus you see the bees are a benefit
in the orchard
In moving bees do not do so until
the weather gets cold, too cold for
them to leave the hive, or they will
not stay. They will go back to the
old location, unless moved a mile and
a half or two miles. Then they will
stay without any trouble; but if NOV
ed only short distance in "a hours
the hives will be pretty well desert
ed
AS a general thing bees do not fly
more than mile or mile and half
and they become familiar with the
surroundings within that distance.

dairy NOTES
Poor COWS are never clean.


No dairy is ever too clean.
Slow ripening of cream produces a
bitter flavor
Every rapid churn is failure. It
wastes butter fat.
Many common COW can be made
good with more feed.
Properly managed. dairying brings
in a constant income.
With calves too low temperature
of feed causes scours
The COW that gives much milk must
have plenty to drink.
The best way to keep COWS clean is
to use plenty of bedding.
Keep the COWS out of the chill
ing winds. There is no profit in a
chill
Do not excite the cows or expose
them to stress of insects, flies or the
weather.
It is said that the occupation of
dairying is combining. If this is true,
then it must be a good cure for loaf
ing
Dairy shows, fairs and all the expo
sitions show US what has been done,
and give US a glimpse Of what may be
done.
In dairying there is no excuse
for the man who goes at it blindly
to blame luck and weather for his
failure.
Throw away the first few streams %
milk from the teats. This milk is very
watery and of little value, and is quite
apt to injure the remainder Of the
milk

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last, Experience at
a Millinery Store, Was Alto
eether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss of In
diana did not care much for a hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought a hat
L can certainly pick out a better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
t1ful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
a millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock. Mrs. Moss looked we'll in
it. She was pleased.
I'll take that" said the Hoosier
congressman. How much is it?"
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even a blink.
Mr. Moss saw blue stars, but luck
lily had just come from the bank
and was able to produce that much
in cash. Now he let's Mrs. Moss buy
her own hats and he does not COM
plain about their being plain.-Judge.

COST OF ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
United States Government Pays Out
100000 Annually to Fit Veter-
ans of Our Wars.

The government has been expendins
on the average about s300,000 every
year in providing artificial limbs to
soldiers of the Civil and other wars,
but although 100000 was appropriat-
ed and spent in that way in the past
year. the appropriation asked for next
years was only s115,000, and it has
been granted. The reason will appear,
remarks the Boston Advertisers
Washington correspondent 1t has to,
for such is the law
The amount of the appropriation
has been, in fact, dropping year by
year. In 1903, the first year of the
triennial period, the appropriation was
$4,000. In 1906, the appropriation
was s425,O00; in 1907, s105, 900 and in
1908, $4,000. In 1911 it was sos, 900.
Every third year the appropriation is
always very large because the old sol
diers may renew their artificial limbs
every three years, and they always
take good care to do so. The total
number Of old soldiers provided with
artificial limbs, legs or arms or both,
is now 1882.
If the old soldier does not want an
arm, or a leg, or both, that he may
need, he can take money in lieu of the
artificial limb This is called ''commu-
tation"
Many of them do so, whether they
really can use a limb or not And
they are certain to make a requisition
every three years as the law permits,
and that is what makes the appropria
ton jump SO high every three years.
The value of the Communication" is
S75 for leg, and from $35 to SIS for
an arm. How long such limb ought
to last varies, it has been found. Some
times they last only a year, and some
times ten years. The benefcfarfes
make the artificial legs last about
seven years and an arm much longer,
but nevertheless they ask for "commu
tation," taking the money and going
on with the old limb. The commute
TONERS number obout 1000. In 1909
the commutationers numbered SITS;
in 1910, 2,117, and 1911, 1880.
The war department says that the
disabilities of most Of the beneficial
ries are of such a character that arti-
fetal limbs or apparatus render no re-
lief. The Communication alone is of
value to them, and that is their extra
compensation for having rendered
service to their country.
The government also appropriates
every year $4,000 to furnish artificial
eyes and ear drums to not only old
soldiers, but to any soldier disabled
in the military service of the country.
A great many such cases arise in the
artillery and naval branch of the mil
itary service because of the firing of
large guns. The sum of $4,000 year
is also spent in providing trusses for
1isf bled soldiers

Hen Manure.

Hen manure as fertilizer has
greater value than any other fertili-
ger on the farm. 1t is generally sup
posed by some poultrymen that the
manure will pay for taking care of the
hens, but this depends much on how
it is kept. The dropping boards under
the roosts should be kept covered with
some absorbent to preserve the
strength of the droppings. Land plas,
ter or South Carolina rock is good.
Never use wood ashes or lime with the
poultry droppings. The ammonia, or
nitrogen would, be set free, and part
of the value of the fertilizer lost The
droppings should not be applied to the
soil as made, but used on a growing
crop, or covered soil. We use it on
corn by putting handful on each hill
at the time of last hoeing. 1t should
be kept under cover until used.
