Arctic and Antarctic Iceberqs.

1t is not generally known, even to
sailors, that there is a marked differ
ence between icebergs in the rctic
and Antarctic circles. Those of the
Arctic ocean are irregular in shape,
with lofty pinnacles, cloud-capped
towers and glittering domes, whereas
the southern icebergs are fiat-topped
and solid-looking. The former reach
the shore by narrow fordg, but the
formation of the latter is more regu-
lar. The northern are neither so large
nor so numerous as those met with in
the southern ocean. In 1855 an i'm
mense berg was sighted in AZ degrees
south latitude, which drifted about for
several months, and was sighted by
many ships. It was 300 feet high, GO
miles long, and 40 miles wide, and
was in shape like a horseshoe. Its
two sides inclosed a sheltered bay
measuring 40 miles across. A large
emigrant ship ran into this bay and
was lost, with all on board. Only
about one-ninth of an iceberg is Wis
ible above the water. There are sew
eral well-authenticated accounts of
icebergs 1000 feet high having been
sighted in the southern ocean. This
would make their total height 5000
feet, or nearly two miles.

KEEP POULTRY FREE
FROM ALL VERMIN
One of Best and Most Common
Methods Is to Apply Insect
PoWder-Good Formula.

(By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Agri-
cultural College Experiment Station)
The offspring from single pair Of
lice will in six weeks be approximately
125,000. This fact emphasizes the i'm.
portance of keeping the poultry free
from them.
Lice live upon the bodies of the poul.
try. They deposit their eggs in the
plumage, generally near the vent, and
live upon the scurf, dead skin and
feathers, To get rid of them remedies
must be applied to the bird. Spraying
the roosts with lice-killing remedies is
of little value. One of the best and
most common methods of getting rid
of lice is to apply insect powder,
which should be we'll busted into the
feathers. A second application ten
days after the first will catch the sec.
ond brood of, lice and make a thor
ough job of it. Otherwise If these
live the first application is of little
value.
A good, cheaE and effective louise
powder is made by adding a mixture
of one part of crude carbolic acid and
three parts of gasoline to plaster of
paris, all that the powder will blot up.
When the plaster is dry pulverize it
and store in tight cans. Another eff
fective remedy is to rub piece of blue
ointment the size of pea well into
the skin just beneath the vent.

DOES CUTTING CORN
FODDER ROB SOIL7
Few Ways of More Quickly Killing
Soil Than to Grow and Re-
move All of Crop.

There is much said now about the
value of corn fodder by those who
advocate the use of the silo. 1t is true
that the corn plant at maturity ex-
elusive Of the ear, contains much valu-
able feed If properly harvested and
stored, says Kansas Journal.
Yet experienced ones say that there
are few ways of more quickly killing
the soil than to grow corn and re-
move all the crop by cutting the fod-
der.
1t is good farm practice to cut up
the corn and feed it on the place,
provided that land from which it is
cut is Immediately manured to re.
store the plant-food elements taken
from it by the crop.
When no equivalent is returned the
soil is left sadly depleted of it's bal,
anced chemical store of life-producins
elements.
The ear of corn, being largely starch
and composed of water and carbon
dioXide, free compounds of the atmos-
phere, does not remove much fer.
tility from the SOIL But the entire
corn plant contains nitrogen, potas.
SUM and phosphorus which the soil
can i'll spare.
These cornstalks should be allowed
to remain in the field and be plowed
under the following season to return
these vital elements and form soil
humus.

WELL-TIMED HINTS
ON SEED SELECTION
When Corn Is in Stiff Dough 1t
May Be Safely Taken-Keep
All Ears Separated.

Because of unusual conditions this
year, many farmers will find it de.
sirable to practice early field selection
of seed corn.
Seed corn may be safely selected in
the stiff-dough stage, If properly
cured. The vitality of corn selected
earlier than this is likely to be un-
certain.
Early picked seed corn must begin
drying rapidly at the earliest possible
moment. If left lying in a pile for
as much as a few hours the growth
Of mold is likely to start.
In drying immature corn, it is i'm
portant to keep the ears from close
contact.
While drying, rainproof buildings
which provide a free circulation of
air and temperature above freezing
are highly desirable.
Well-preserved seed corn a year old
is very neutrality-suspicious. Col

LOSS CAUSED BY ROAD THIEF

The bad-road' thief forces you to
haul small loads; drive slowly;

horse, harness and vehicle, often

occasioned. 1t also steals your oppor-
tunity to dispose of your farm when
you wish to sell, for no man will pay
as much for a farm bordered by

with a well-kept highway, and some
will not buy farm at all when the
road system is poor. The loss of
time and money, where the above
named conditions exist, makes it i'm.

Need foV Cooperation Between State
Highway and State Prison De-
partments ls Outlined.

THE state highway department
should hire convicts from the state
prison department in exactly the same
way as it would hire free laborers,
and at the same price per day. Dur
ing the hours of work the men should
not be thought of as convicts, but sim
ply as employees Of the highway de-
partment. No payment should be made
for q single hour not worked and
man discharged should be removed at
once and permanently, while the high
way department should have no re-
sponsibility for nor authority over the
convicts at any time nor in any man.
ner except to conduct their work or
to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
the state highway and state prison
departments is strongly urged in Q
report made to the New York state
highway department by David ]. Shor-
er, who was in charge of the convict
road work in Green county, New York,
during the summer Of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the importance of
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work, which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has ad-
vocated for number of years and has
been instrumental in embodying into
the laws of the state of West Vir-
ginia.
The work in Green county, New
York, was carried on under most diff
ficult conditions. The men arrived at
the camp before the organization and
equipment were completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and al
most one-fourth were totally unfit and
had to be returned to the prison. Ar
rangements for feeding the men were
unsatisfactory, while winter made eff
cient work impossible fully two weeks
before they were removed from the
camp.
In spite Of these difficulties Mr..
Shorer reports that, taking the 60 con.
victs who were retained at the camp,
and comparing them with 81 civilians
also working at the camp, the con-
victs averaged better than the civil

SILO IS OF MUCH
VALUE TO FARMER
No Man Who Buys Steers to Fat
ten Can Afford to Be With
out Huge Receptacle.

Those farmers who have never stud
led the silo question, naturally do not
know how much money they are los
ing every year in their feeding opera
tions. No man who buys steers to fat
ten can afford to be without silo.
It is a poor cornfield that will not
yield an average of from ten to f1f-
teen tons of green corn per acre. If
this is cut into silage it will make a
sure profit at present prices Of cattle
at from $50 to $34 per acre.
It has been demonstrated conclu-
sively that silage-fed steers bring
more money on the big market than
those that are fattened on whole corn.
1t is also fact well known to expe-
rienced feeders that silage saves grain
and hay.
1t is true that corn fodder contains
under chemical tests more protein car
bohydrates and fattening material than
silage, but the fact remains that
steers do not get all of the benefit
from corn fodder, while about every
thing that is valuable is consumed in
IhS SAd6Os
Then silage being quite bulky, it is
an excellent feed given in connection
with ground grains and heavy meals
as it aids greatly in their digestion.
Another thing, steers like silage. It
tastes good to them and they eat it
with avidity.
A steer prefers silage to dry corn
fodder, just as a boy prefers pie to
dry corn bread, but in the case of the
steer, the silage is better food for him
than the pie is for the boy.
Place silage and dry corn fodder
before bunch of steers and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed of the first. This
is an important factor in feeding, be-
cause palatability adds to digestive
qualities of feed, and the more
steer digests the more fat he will
put on.

The Newest Discovery in Chemist

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric

as sediment in the urine, or if uric

always obtained in cases Of acute

Does Red Make You Nervous?


Suppose that you or your family are

Then you should choose the cooler,
calmer shades of the scale Of blue.
This doesn't mean confning yourself

in using convicts for this type of work

The national committee on prisons

that two factors are essential to the
success of convict road work. Re-.

be placed in the hands of those COM
