HOW TO SELECT CORN EARS
Difficult to Distinguish Between
Breeds Of Same color--Each Va
rIety Has Characteristic Shape.

The first point in judging a sample
Of corn is to determine its trueness to
the type or breed characteristics.
There are breeds of corn, like breeds
of cattle which have peculiar colors
or forms which distinguish them. 1t
ls difficult to distinguish between
breeds of corn of the same color, but
this may be learned by experience In
handling corn of various breeds. In
pure corn of any breed there are GER
tain marks which may be easily rec
ognized.
Take the shape oi the ear, for ex-
ample. The ideal ear is cylindrical,
not too crooked or too tapering. 1t Is
as difficult to find an ear of corn per-
feet in shape as 1t is to find cows
horses and sheep with perfect forms.
The shape of ears of the different
varieties of corn differ as widely as
the shape and form Of the different
pure breeds Of cattle. Each class and
variety has a characteristic shape pc
culiar to itself The most desirably
shaped ear is cylindrical from butt to
tip. Where ears are inclined to taper
| 1t will be noticed that two or -four
rows, as a rule, are dropped near the
middle Of the ear. In Judging the
corn ear, take into consideration the
soil and climatic conditions In which

DISEASE MAY BE PREVENTED
Fatal Malady of Canker Sore Mouth
Causes Extensive Loss Of Little
Pigs Every Year.


The loss of little pigs from this dis
ease annually is extensive, but largely
might be prevented by proper care
The cause of the disease is infection
of slight scratches Of the nose, mouth
and gums by what is called bacillus
necrophorus. This germ Is present
normally In the intestines of hogs and
may be found wherever voidings have
been dropped. The disease, therefore,
is most likely to attack pigs kept in
insanitary yards and buildings, and
the contagion turks there from year
to year.
To prevent the disease, sows and
pigs should be provided with clean
buildings and yards. Be sure to have
