GOOD PLACE FOR SEED EARS
Should Be Stored in Well Ventilated
Room and Not Touch Each Other
Great Many Methods.
CIV r. G. wEATHERSTONED

By r. G. WEATHERSTONED
The seed corn ears should be stored
at once in a dry, well-ventilated place,
and in such a way that there nay be
free circulation of air around each ear.
DO not allow one ear to touch another.
If there is not sufficient air circulation
the vitality Of the corn is almost Ger.
tain to be injured, either by mOlding,
.f~ermenting, growing or freezing. There
are a great many methods Of storing
the seed corn, but in all cases the place
Uf storing must DC Dr.. Seed corn
should never be put into boxes, barrels
or sacks. Few cellars are dry enough
to store seed corn in. The attic, or
an empty Don upstairs in the house
is a good place if it is not too warm
and close while the corn is still moist.

CAUSE OF FOUNDER
Not the Result Of Eating More
Food Than Good for Him.
Animal Driven Hard for Long Way
and Allowed to Stand Long Enough
to Chill Will Show All the
Characterize Symptoms.

Most OF us are apt to think that
founder is always caused by the
horse eating more han is good tor
him. 1 thought the same thing until
4 few weeks ago.
l know now hat an animal hard
driven for a long way, Il allowed
to stand in the open air long enough
to chill. has all the characteristic
symptoms Of a typical case OF foun-
der.
Laminitls is tn name given the dis
ease in the books, and the soreness
and lameness comes from the violent
Inflammation that is set up in the
sensitive folds of tissue that are in
terlaced with nOnsensitiye layers Of
the hOOf says a writer in the Farm
Progress. These two kinds Of layers
are sandwiched between each other,
and when the disturbance caused
by oVereating in a heated condition,
or from a chill when the blood Is hot,
sets up, 1t is communicated to the
very sensitive tissue Of the foot.
The slight swelling that takes place
causes the circulation Of the blood
I'LL OuBu ILLS tissue 10 lSSuli III ~
siderable fever. The familiar tissue be
comes very hot and painful.
Driving a horse very swiftly over a
hard road, and allowing him to chill
very quickly, is fairly certain to
create soma such disturbance, and
when this is marked, it is a good plan
to start treating the horse at once.
AS soon as the horse shows signs OF
founder, get him into a stable and
water that is just about as hot as he
animal can bear. This tends TO re-
duCe the Inflammation that is al
ready present, and will prevent any
increase in the lambeness.
Keep up this treatment for an hOur
and a half or two hours, then remove
the tub and rub the feet as dry as you
can. Put the horse in a warm, deeply
bedded stall, and drencG with a mix
ture of about a pint Of raw linseed
Oil, about 80 grains Of calOmel and
an ounce Of pulverized ginger.
Follow the hot water foot bath
treatment for three or o. days in
order to make certain that the swell
ing does not come back. If the ami
NAL Toes not respond to the treat
ment get a veterinary to look him
over at once.
If the hot water treatment is used
quickly enough and strong enough it
will prevent many Of the worst symp-
toms.
The sensitive tissue 81 thc interior
Of the hoof is quite closely connected
as to nature with the membrane of
the intestinal raCt. The sympathy be
tween the two sets of nervous c~enters
is very close and any disturbance in
the intestinal membrane is apt to be
reflected in the familiar tissue Of the
foot.

Horse and Mare Poser,

Every trade has certain methods of
procedure which to a looker-on are
incomprehensible, and, therefore, alb
surd. We farmers have soa3a Itttle
secrets and are ready to chuckle up
u sleeves when our city visitor
asks, What do you do that for?''
He catches on pretty readily as to
why we change III bull calves into
embryo steers, neutralize our male
lambs or caponize u cockrels, but,
writes Herbert Quick il Farm Maya
zine when he asks, why on earth
do you keep geldings to do your farm
work when mares would do as well,
and raise colts that l would give you
$3.50 to $500 for to do my dray work."
we can only scratch our heads, while
he does the chuckling.

DON'T BRUSH HAIR TOO MUCH
Gentle Treatment Will Do More to Re
tain Beauty Than Over-Vigorous
Use Of Toilet Articles.

Healthy hair grows five to seven
inches a year and faster in warm
weather han in cold.
Overbrushing is one of the preva-
lent fallacies.
The hundred strokes" a day is ia
tai practice for any one h would
have nice hair.
Brushing should be resOrted to as a
polish, not for cleansing purposes, and
then the strokes should be of the light
est character.
Likewise the benefits of the fine
tooth comb are a delusion, h coarse
teeth of the ordinary toilet comb an
swering every purpose.
Cheap brushes are to be avoided.
for the bristles are generally stiff and
prone to split, and the bristles should
be Of different lengths in order to
reach and properly polish the differ
ent layers of hair.
The Indispensable quality Of combs
is hat the teeth shall be perfectly
smooth.
f.. =: - =" cc"b sho-:1 ii:
used most carefully. never being
drawn roughly through snarls, but
rather beginning the combing below
the tangie and working upward.
Parting the hair continuously In
the same place is not advisable.
The hair should not be unduly ex-
posed to the elements nor yet too
closely covered by heavy hats.
Sun and air baths are excellent,
provided they are not O~verdOne.
But prolonged exposure to hot suns
rays dries and weakens as well as
fades the hair.
Badness in women usually indicates
a weakened nervous system and, OBJ
viously, nothing can be hoped for In
the way OF correcting 1t unless the
system Is in condition.
A tincture made Of one-half ounce
of oil of mace nike with one pint OF
deodorized alcohol rubbed upon the
bald spots three times a day should
induce hair to appear again. Friction
is invaluable.
l would advise friction treatments
once a week, not only as a cure for
debilitated hair, but for keeping good
hair IL condition.

Five-yearOld Rcnuie, who, since the

Handy Way to Save Seed Ears.

The amount Of freezing seed corn VIII
stand depends entirely upon its dry
ness. If thoroughly dry and sur
rounded by DRY atmosphere it will
stand very cold weather.
If you have ever found yourself
compelled to plant corn that was not
fit for seed, do not be caught that way
again. 1t is too discouraging to begin
he season with poor prospects of a
good crop. Get your seed at ripening
time when the best quality is most
plentiful Get an abundance. enough
for planting again what the high
water may destroy Il a supply
for some farmer who may move
into your community or for a neighbor
who could not select his seed corr at
the proper time. Save seed only from
the most profitable individuals with
the same car you use in propagating
your animals.

LIVE STOCK
MgP@O4ESS~A So

About fifteen different breeds of
sheep are now recognized.
Dogs are enemies to sheep. Keep
a sharp lookout for stray dogs.
Don't allow young horses to wear
a set Of shoes more than q month.
A hog cannot sleep comfortably in a
draft or in wind. He catches cold very
easily.
Cleanliness is a factor in successful
sheep raising. Disinfect troughs and
pens weekly.
If my of the sheep are lame it may
not be a symptom Of foot rot, but it's
pretty apt to be.
A lot of hogs in a hog lot well-grown
with clover will convey a lot of money
to their owners pocket.
Feeding the drop apples to the stock
will ave much grain and act as a good
appetizer for the animals.
When lambs are grown rapidly the
quality of the meat is far and AVA
ahead Of that grown slowly.
A horses usefulness is measured by
it's strength and rapidity of movement
rather than by size and weight.
If a colt a not style enough to
naturally hold his head high, high
managers will not make him do it
II one is obliged to feed timothy hay
a good ration of bran and oats will
help to maintain the ewes in good con-
dition.
Don't select a heavy, lazy SOW for a
breeder. She should be mild in dispo-
sition, but possessed of sufficient n
ersy to take exercise.
The pure bred hog will mature and
II into money more quickly than a
scrub, and bring more money for the
same weight, at that.
To produce good mutton and a fine
quality of wool, sheep must have a
good pasture. Continuous grazing on
the same pasture is undesirable

Fine Specimens.

they are buy them, but there is a de-
cided prejudice against duck eggs in
the general market.
The Indian Runner is almost as
large as the Pekin at ten weeks, al
though the latter is more heavily
feathered and this gives it a larger
appearance.
Runner ducks do not need water to
swim in, but should always be pro-
vided with clean water for drinking;
and if this can be running water, so
much the better.

select your night, then when you are
seated in her parlOr, you on one side
of the room and she on the other, just
hitch your chair toward her and she
will hitch toward you until you al
not get any hitcheT. Then slip your
arm round her waist and say, wilt
