Drying Seed Corn.


Corn that has been picked from the
standing stalks contains a high per
cent Of moisture. especially II it is i'm
mature. and unless the moisture Is re-
moved the seed will mold and much Of
1t become worthless. Furthermore. un-
less this moisture Is removed the vital
ity Of the seed will be reduced by
freezing weather. The attic Of the
house or upper floor Of the granary or
barn makes good place for drying
seed corn If the windows and doors
are so arranged that current of air
will pass through and it is free from
moisture. Seed corn should not he
stored In the same part of the building
as binned grain going through the
sweating process; neither should il he
stored in an Enclosure with or above
live stock. as it will absorb consider
able moisture IN each case. Every pre-.
caution should Oe taken to provide for
a free current of dry air to remove :hc
moisture from the corn.

The Great American Hen

A significant statement in Secretary
Wilson's report shows that investiga-
lions are now being made by the De-
partment of Agriculture, in conjunc-
ton with the Maine Experiment Sta
tion, with view to developing a strain
of chickens with increased egglaying
capacity. Several hens have been
found to lay more than 200 eggs in
one year, and the results seem to indi-
cate that by selecting the best layers
for breeding purposes and by proper
feeding the average egg yield of
flock can be increased.
Poultry, says the Secretary, is one
OF the steady and helpful sources of
farm income. Movements are already
on foot which may be expected to in
crease the egg production per hen by
at least a dozen year within a gen
Grafton, and there are poultrymen who
are not enthusiasts who fortel double
that increase. If the hens of this year
had each laid a dozen eggs more than
they did, the prediction is made by
Secretary Wilson that the increased
value of this product would have been
possibly $50,000,00O

at the Maine station, will have value

year will keep her in comfortable, if
not luxurious quarters. The trouble
is that millions of barnyard scrubs do
not yield 100 eggs year.
The farmers hen is becoming a wor-
thy companion to his COW. The annual
production of eggs is now score of
billions, and, after supplying the
needs of factories, tanneries, baker
les and other trades, they are becom-
ing a substitute for high-priced meats,
besides entering more generally into
the everyday food of the people.
Someone has estimated that the in
dustrious little gallus domesticus pro-
duces enough eggs to require a train
of refrigerator cars 900 miles long
filled with 100000 crates, each of
which holds 300 eggs.
If one wants to obtain eggs from
his hens, it is necessary to have
healthy, vigorous stock, properly fed.
To do their best hens should be fed
grain, animal and green food. They
should be fed enough to keep them in
good condition, but not overfed, and
should be induced to take plenty of
exercise.
Agood system to follow for winter
feeding is mash once a day and grain
scattered in the litter twice a day.
The mash may be fed dry or slightly
moistened. When the former, it is
usually put into trough or hopper
hung against the wall, and the fowl is
allowed to have access to it at all
times.
A mash fed at the Maine Expert
ment Station is as follows. in the pro-
portion indicated: Two hundred lbs.
of wheat bran, 100 lbs. of cornmeal,
100 lbs. of wheat middlings, 100 lbs.
of linseed meal. 100 pounds of gluten

Another mash may be mixed as fol-
lows, in the proportions indicated: One

There are hundreds of nervous, run

who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully

The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood
making, strengthening properties of
tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner-

POTATOES GOOD
FOR BODILY ILLS

In these days OF the high cost of liv-
ing, it is we'll to know that the succu-
lent potato has wonderful merit, not
only as a food, but also because of its
medicinal qualities. Potatoes are
cheap now and every housewife should
read this article with care. DR.. J. H.
Kellogg, in an article on "The Potato"
says that, at the Battle Creek Sana-
forum 1000 patients consume 1000
bushels of potatoes each year, while
the average consumption for the coun-
try at large is between three and four
bushels.
DR.. Kellogg gives the following ia
BILE of how one pound of baked pota-
toes compare in nutritive value with
other foods. One pound of good pota-
toes properly baked would equal: y
pounds boiled potato; 51a ounces boil
ed beef; | pound chicken; 70 pounds
Goldfish; Az pints beet juice; z pints
milk: l pound bananas; popnds boil
ed cabbage; 3 pints skinned milk; 8
eggs. 9 ounces baked beans; 7 ounces
bread; IL pints oatmeal mush; / pint
boiled rice; l pound green peas; 5
pounds tomatoes.
Thus it appears that the potato is
lood "lcll pIoDellN COOhtu
and eaten with other foods which "bal-
Der that it is a starchy food, deficient
in fats and proteins or muscle max
ers.
Not So Hard To Digest.
1t seems that the starch of the pota-
to is more easily digested and appro-
f1I.iataI tha,. thot Of u-han+ IT, -
is said that in Germany potato cruel
made from potato meal or from the
pulp of baked potatoes is considered
excellent for feeding invalds and chill
dren. Some physicions advise against
potato as a food, because they think
it is indigestible or inclined to make
too much fat AS a matter of fact,
the potato is an easily digested food
stuff and far more nutritious than has
been generally supposed.
1t should be eaten with butter or
cream if possible to obtain the fats
which are lacking in potatoes. The
protein can be obtained in meat, fish.
cheese, beans or peas. We must re-
member that potatoes alone will not
give full balanced ration" but they
will take the place of other ard more
expensive Stafcny FOODS.
What They Are Good For.
Dr. ke.lok says that the free and
proper use of potatoes will help in
cases of rheumatism and govt, kidney
trouble, hardening of the arteries, or
other diseases caused, or made worse
by acid conditions of the blood. 1t is
also useful in cases of "biliousness."
This important remedy" value is due
to the salts which the potato contains.
These salts are mostly potash-the
potato ranking high among vegetables
in the amount of that substance which
its analysis shows.
Meats tend to acidify the blood and
cereals have something of the same
tendency. The bulky potato with its
easily digested starch and its alkaline
salts has a tendency to overcome this
acid condition and thus prevent. or
modify, what are known as uric acid
diseases.
DR.. Kellogg points to the Irish as
nation of sturdy, long-lived men and
women. Potatoes, buttermilk and oat-
meal have made them so. The Ger
mans and other European people who
consume potatoes freely are all strong
and vigorous.
