PAPER ITSELF WAS EVIDENCE
In This Case Examiner Required No
Pledge That Student Had Done
the Work Itself.

At a certain college custom ordains
that at examination time each of the
candidates shall write the following
pledge at the bottom of his papers:
II hereby declare, on my honor, that
I have neither given nor received as
sistance during the examination
One student, after handing in one
of the papers, suddenly remembered
that in his haste he had omitted to
write the oath. On the following day
he sought out one of the examiners
and told him that he had forgotten
to put the required pledge on his pa
per.
The examiner looked at him over
the top of his glasses and dryly re-
marked:
quite unnecessary. Your paper In
itself is sufficient evidence. I've just
been correcting it,"

BEST LENGTHS FOR SILAGE
Question Is One Upon Which Much
Difference of Opinion Is Mani
tested Among Farmers.

By H. H. KILDEE, Iowa Experiment
Statien)
In response to inquiry as to the
best lengths for cutting corn to put
into the silo, Professor Kildee of the
Iowa Agricultural college, makes the
following reply:
The question as to the proper
lengths in which corn should be cut
when put into the silo is one upon
which much difference of opinion is
manifested. Some advocate as long
as one and one-fourth inches, others
less than one-half inch or approx.
mately one-fourth inch, and the ma,
jority intermediate lengths. The short
cuts, such as the one-fourth and one
half inch, require more power, but
insure a more palatable silage, result
ing in less waste in feeding, and make
it easy to pack it thoroughly at time
of filling. This packing helps to elm.
mate the air, thus improving the
quality, and makes it possible to put q
greater quantity of corn in the silo.
1t is more essential that thoroughly
mature corn be cut into shorter
lengths than corn that is more imma,
ture and succuient, as much of the
dry portions will be wasted by ami.
mails on full feed If not cut into small
pieces. When one considers the mat,
ter from all standpoints, it is evident
that the common practice of cutting
the corn into one-half to three-fourths
inch lengths is the preferable one.
The writer has made it practice to
cut the corn into hree-fourths-inch
lengths, but realizes that when corn
becomes dry the one-half inch cut is
more desirable. If the correspondent
wishes shorter cut for the upper
part of the silo / would recommend
the upper third be filled with one-hali
inch cut.

better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told

Many people who make a success or

Poultry benefits by crop rotation just

best way to keep the ground in good

has already become unfit for raising
poultry on, it will be best to give UP
this line Of business for a time. The

ITCHING ECZEMA ON KNEE

1862 State St., New Bedford, Mass
1.-THE way the eczema started on my
leg was by wearing plaster paris
cast The plaster got between the cot
ton and my leg and caused an itching
which broke out into a raw sore half
way from my ankle to my knee. At
first it broke out in small pimples and
itched so 1t seemed impossible for me
to keep my hands from 1t night and
day. I had to remove the cast on my
leg and use bandSges.
~ had two treatments and was told
to get different ointments which did
me very little good. Then I got cake
of Cuticura Soap with which to wash
my leg, then rubbed the Cuticura
Ointment on. All itching stopped and
in four weeks it was all healed up and
has never bothered me since" (Signed)

Most Important Of Conditions Con-

There is perhaps no branch of poul.

no branch Of work that it is better for
the poultryman to keep away from

mem throughout the country suffer
heavy losses from diseases at times
not so much because they do not know
how to cure disease as because they
do not understand the principles of

The importance Of sanitation has in.

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-09-11

Tree use of lime and the growing OF
crops, with the necessary turning OF
the ground, are the best ways to
freshen the ground and get it back
into such a condition that it will be
profitable to grow chickens on.
Chickens grown on ground which
has become tainted generally have an
unthrifty, sickly appearance, and in
this condition are much more subject
to disease. Chicks raised on the same
ground for a number of years without
precautions being taken to freshen ii
are usually more or less subject to
gapes and roup, and, in fact, to any
disease to which fowls are subject.

BY numbering the eggs under hen
the exact location of each egg has
been determined from day to day dur

that the position was changed daily,
the eggs occupying the center of the

vice versa by rotating on the longer
axis,
