feed by eating too much green corn
or by eating corn that is immature
the disease will be more readily con
tracted and II is often noted that .
new outbreak Of cholera follows th'
first use Of new corn for hogs. Avoid
danger by changing the kind OF
amount Of feed gradually. Feed ths
hogs some new corn for a while before
turning them into the field. Young
shoats may be turned into corn thai
is not down too badly with less pre-
liminary feeding than the older hogI
that can break down the corn more
quickly.

In storing seed corn, three things
should be kept in mind, according t.
j. G. Hackleman Of the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture. They are "a a
dry room or building, (2l a fairly low
even temperature without hard freez-
es. and go a well-ventilated room
from which moisture from the sweat
ing grain may easily escape. Seed
corn may be injured II stored sweat.
ing grain from which il receives
moisture. These essentials are most
perfectly secured by proper storage
in an attic, as careful tests have
shown that better results were obtain
ed from such storage than from any
other. Cellars in which there arc
furnaces are excellent; others are
likely to be too damp. II It is i'm
possible to use amy Of the house in this
way, suitable places can probably be
found in tool sheds or other farm
buildings. A frame Of 2x4's may be
built from two to six feet square and
strongly braeed. If chicken netting
is then stretched over both sides in
such q way that the holes match, the
ears may be thrust through and stored
very cheaply. They may be swung
from the roof in strings, held by bal
ing wire or binding Irvine. or may be
stuck OF nails driven into an upright
4x4 post from which the corners have
been trimmed so as to make room for
eight rows Of nails instead Of only
four. Mice may be kept from this
seed corn tree by mailing tin around
the bottom Just above the base or by
inserting a hook in the top BY means
Of which the tree with its load may be
hung with a wire from the roof. A
study Of your own conditions will per-
haps show you better methods than
any Of these which viii meet the re-
quirements of good storage.
The clover crop makes about half
its growth during the last thirty days
Of the grazing period, 50 it can be
more heavily grazed at that-time
than earlier. Care should be taken.
however, not to leave it too short for
the winter, as enough foliage should
remain 70 hold the snow and insure 4
good early start in the spring. Rye
sowed at the proper time Is valuable
for fall and early spring pasture and
incidentally prevents soil-washine
during the winter. It will ave many
feed bills and play an important part
