DO You Drink III

A minister'sf wife had quite a tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty,
I became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that should want a hot cup
Of coffee about that time. could

fee drinking, became a nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
/ was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave OF coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
81 began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the coffee drug,
but / liked the taste Of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.

headed and had steadier nerves. Aft

WINTER QUARTERS FOR RAM
Male Of Flock Needs Sunshine, Fresh
Air and Place to Exercise,
Same as the Ewes.


There are not, many farmers who
would purchase a $4,000 automobile
and let it stand out in the rain in
mudhole all winter, but there are many
who pay a high price for a wellbred
ram and treat him almost as badly as
that.
How often it is that you go into q
mans barn and find in dark, stuffy,
narrow pen. way back in one corner,
the head OF the flock, says Homestead.
The male Of the herd, Of course, should
be kept by himself, but he needs sum
shine, fresh air and place to exercise
just as much as the ewes.
The winter quarters OF ram should
be such that he can keep dry, both.
overhead and under foot At the same
time, the more fresh air the better.
Even an open shed will serve if it is
entirely dry. A pen should certainly
not be used that is less than is feet
square, and If it is larger SO much the
better. This will give the ram an op-
portunity to exercise and will keep him
in good, vigorous condition.
During the summer months, when
the ram is allowed to run on pasture,
he does not need grain, but in the win
ter, If you expect to keep him in good,
vigorous condition, he must be sup
piled with grain at least month be-
fore the breeding season.
A mixture Of two parts oats and one
part bran has given unusually good re-
suits in some Of the larger focks Of
the West. This ration does not pro
duce fat, but does keep up the vigor of
the ram.
It is impossible to suggest the exact
amount to be fed. for this can only be
determined by watching the animal
and studying his condition

and to the ear by a mass of white,
cobwebby fiIaments. At the same
time the parts affected have lost their
substance, are light in weight and
brittle in texture.
Upon close study it soon becomes
apparent that there are several Of
these ear rots, or at least that there
are differences which seem fairly con-
slant when numerous specimens are
carefully examined It is thus posi-
BILE to divide the affected ears into
four groups, as follows Diplodia,
Fusarium I, Fusarium II, Fusarium III
Some Of these rots are SO similar
that the casual observer rarely en-
tertains any suspicion of their being
but one form. The resemblances are
SO complete in some instances that
the removal of the husk and some
times a microscopic examination are
needed for the classification of the
variety. Commonly. however, in fairly
advanced stages of the disease one

confused are the Diplodia, in which
the color of the moldy growth is
white, and Fusarium II, in which it
is pink to red.
The first indication that ears of
corn are diseased is a fading Of the
bright green of the husks to a pale
yellowish green color. In Diplodia
this change goes on gradually, and
under favorable conditions quite rap
idly, until the entire ear has the ap-
pearance of premature ripening. While
this change Of color on the outside
is progressing one finds the inner
husks have not lost their normal color,
but are more or less tinged with
brown, particularly along the advanc-
ing margin of the diseased area. This
description also applies to the disease
produced by Fusarium II, although no
entirely decayed ear due to this organ
ism has been found. In this case in
lection always begins at the tip and
proceeds downward, rarely ipvolving
more than half of the ear.
The diseased ears shrivel up more
or less, become darker in color and
