coRNcoB AND COTTON BALE
American Products Both, and Well
Worthy Of Attention, According
to This Writer.

Memories OF Mark Twain's favorite
luxury we're recalled when statistics
presented in Washington showed that
over twenty-eight million corncob
pipes had been manufactured in the
state Of Missouri alone in one year,
and that corncobs had been utilized
to the value of half million dollars
in six Missouri factories A corncob
pipe is the tavorite of many men
from Missouri, in the hours given by
them to rest, reflection and happy
memories OF the good old state, and
while smoking one the other day a
friend called attention to the dimin-
fishing supply of wool and the increas-
ing population The wool question
was long an issue in England where
1t was provided that evervaue, though
he could not afford to wear it when
living, must be buried in English
woolens. Everything WAS done in
those days to stimulate the use Of this
commodity
Now, how much more logical it
seems that people should be encour-
aged in the use of cotton, which GER
tatnly makes great inroads upon its
ancient, age-long rival, for today even
the blankets and all those things that
look and appear like wool are made
principally from cotton, but ever since
the times when Abraham divided with
Lot the pasturage. and Lot drove mis-
flocks to the plains, wooden legislation
has In one way or another always
played part in governmental affairs.
SO much SO. in fact. that it evoked the
old saying. You can't pull the wool

BOTH Adopts IN DECEIT
How Signals Arranged For Between
Soldier and His Wife Really
Were Carried On.

The captain had not been long mar
ried when he was ordered into camp.
To be sure, the camp was in plain
sight of the captains residence. but
then it was still a separation: and to
tighten this terrible condition it was
arranged that the bereaved h h:sband
and wife should signal to each other
often with their handkerchiefs. 1t was
on the second day that the young wife
was seated on the porch reading. Tell
me. Jane" said she, lis the captain
still signaling?" Yes, ma am an
swered the maid. Then keep waving
your handkerchief. / want to finish
this novel" AT the same time, in
camp an officer from an adjoining
company stepped up to the captain.
Il say, old fellow" he asked, why do
you keep that man out there all day
waving handkerchief oh, it's
merely bit of signal-code practice for
him."

PREVENT SERIOUS
LOSS FROM SMUT
Formalin Treatment Is Wholly
Effective and Economical
How to Apply Liquid.

Growers who wish to prevent seri-
Gus loss from smut will find the for
malin treatment wholly effective and
economical. The formalin may be
bought at any drug store at from fifty
cents to one dollar a pint and this
amount will do for treating about
forty bushels of seed. Add one pint
of formalin, which should be bought
in sealed bottles to insure full
strength, to forty gallons of water.
Mix thoroughly and apply to the
seed oats at once. Spread the grain
on a floor. or in the bottom of a
wagon-bed. Use a common garden
sprinkler to put on the solution and
sprinkle until wet, mix the grain with
shovel and sprinkle again. Every
grain must be thoroughly wet with
some of the mixture or the smut will
not be killed.
After sprinkling. put the grain in a
pile and cover with blankets or sacks
for ten or twelve hours, or over night.
This will kill some smut which other
wise would not be touched. Spread
the grain out and SOW as soon as suffi.
ciently dry.

to be aggravated by pasturing sheep

GOOD POINTS IN MAKEUP OF BROOD sow

weaned the sows should be Culied and
those that are cross or nervous or
have produced small litters or are
inclined to be poor suckers, should
be discarded.
Good sows improve for several
years in the number and size of the
pigs they have at litter The United
States department OF agriculture com
piled the records OF over six thousand
sows and found yearling sows aver
aged 6.65 pigs per litter, and five-year-
old sows averaged S.4 pigs per litter.
At the Wisconsin experiment station
the year-old sows averaged rs pigs
per litter, with an average weight per
litter of 14.2 pounds. while sows from
four to five years old averaged nine
pigs per litter with an average weight
per litter of &c pounds. The common
practice of farmers selling their old
brood sows each year and reserving
immature ones for breeding is a bad
practice, as the older sows are much
better mothers and their pigs have a
strong advantage in greater vitality
at the start.

writer ever handled had a choice lit.

SAVE ALL OF GOOD
n. BREEDING ANIMALS
Desirable Pigs, Lambs, Calves
and Colts Should Receive
Best of Attention.

The Importance of saving all of the
breeding animals that would make de-
sirable sires and dams will certainly
be apparent to those who think of the
subject seriously There seems to be
u strong demand for breeding animals
to place at the head of herds. Many
who have never given animals a place
On their farms are now beginning
herds or wish to get breeding stock
FOR the purpose of making beginning
with animals. Let every man who has
desirable pigs, lambs, calves and colts
take care of the animals SO they may
be of use to the people who need
them.
The man who raises breeding stock
for those who need them deserves
credit. He is making 1t possible for
his neighbors to raise better stock.
By his diligence in breeding live stock
he helps his neighbors and is making
1t possible for farms to produce more
wealth.
Every breeder who has animals that
are desirable for breeders owes it to
his neighbors and friends as well as
to the country to advertise his animals
SO others who need breeding stock
may buy. Poor animals should not be
used and it ia useless to advertise
them. Successful breeders recognize
this and Gull out the undesirable and
offer only those that are valuable for
breeders. Every registered animal is
not suitable for breeding stock. Many
are not These undesirables should be
slaughtered. 1t takes more than regis.

VISIT SHEEPFOLD

No Better Way of Judging Needs
of Animals-Do Not Let Dogs
Bother the Lambs.

Did you ever go to your sheepfold
at night? If not. you have missed one
of the treats of your life. In no other
way can you come so near judging
the real needs of your sheep. If one
is little thin or in discomfort it is
easy to diagnose their case.
Better watch that the dogs do not
bother YOUR sheep. Many a fine lamb
has been lost by the eve being fright
ened at dog. An actual bite is not
necessary. A bad scare is enough.
