MAUD'S BROTHER JAKE,

cussed in a way that was hard to
see, for the mule went haw when he
said gee. A humble bees nest in the
stubble lay, where Jake and the mule
raked the hay. A rake tooth ran
through the humble bee home, and
the bees came out and began to roam
in search of the man that summer
day who raked the meadow of clover
lay. The bees swarmed inside Null
ler's shirt, and quickened the mule
to lively squirt. 1t was tough on
the mule, and worse on Jake, and
worse still on the sulky rake, for the
mule turned loose in a promiscuous
way and scattered the rake all over
the hay.

SUCKERS ON CORN.

Pennsylvania corn grower writes
What is the cause of suckers grow
ing on corn? Why do they grow on
some stalks and not on others? Are
they helpful or lurtful to the crop?
In general should the suckers he pull
ed OFF or left on?"
The wild ancestor of corn evident
ly suckered in much the same way as
oats and wheat. Some varieties to
this day sucker very heavily. Others
very rarely sucker. Some varieties
will not sucker if grown on a poor
clay soil in a dry cool year, while
when grown on a lose, rich, warm
soil in a wet year they will sucker
abundantly.
Most farmers believe that suckers
are hard on the vitality of corn. In
many sections it has long been the
practice to pull the suckers off early
in July. In dry season it may posi-
bly, be good practice to pull off the
suckers. But some very careful Ne
braska experiments indicate quite
clearly that one year with another it
pays big to leave the suckers on. In
our opinion it almost never pays to
sucker corn. The same time can be
better spent working on the weeds
with a hand hoe.

DOG DAYS.

Dog days are here. This is the
name applied in popular tradition to
the period Of about forty days in mid
summer when Sirius, the dog STAR
rises and sets with the sun. Sirius
is the brilliant fixed star nearly as
bright as Jupiter, which trails behind
Orion, the mighty hunter in the win
ter and the spring sky, but fades in
10 the suns blaze as summer ap-
breaches. 1t was called the dog star
by the ancients thru the same sort
OF fancy that Orion was called a
hunter and the Pleiades were named
the seven sisters" And out of this
name of dogstar grew the fancy that
when the star rose and set with the.
sun it had a mysterious effect on
dogs-driVing them mad.
There is OF course no truth in this
legend, but it is a fact that intense
heat, such as we have had for the
past two weeks, does develop hydro
phobia in CANNES as it develops in
tantile paralysis and other deadly
maladies in children In weather like
this every dog in the city and COIN
try is potential menace, for the
family pet as well as the neglected
cur may suddenly develope rabies.

NFANTILE PARALYSIS
It's Result. Prevention. How Chill
dren Should be Protected
Should Have Plenty of
Sleep.
(By Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. d.

| VI IlAOII, ~.
lnfantile Paralysis is a disease
that affects the nervous system. 1t
otten causes death, and again, the
acute stage frequently subsidies and
leaves paralysis of one or more OF
the limbs that often lasts through
life.
Today We do not know what caus-
es the disease, therefore preventive
measures must be broad. You must
keep the children away from insect
life, such as flies, mosquitoes, feas,
bed bugs, ticks, ants, lice, exc. You
should see that all rats and mice
around the building are killed. Pet
cats and dogs should be washed with
a two per cent carbolic acid solution.
everything should be kept clean
about the home, including the chill
'dren.
Children should be fed well but
not INDUCED in large quantities OF
water, ice cream CT other frozen
dishes on full stomach, as that will
often cause acute indigestion and
render them susceptible to other di-
seases. In other words, the diges-
ton should be guarded carefully.
Children should have plenty OF
sleep. They should not associate
with other children that are sick.
Their homes should be well ventilat-
ed, but screened. All foodstuffs should
be protected.
Children's mouths should be rims
ed out and their threats gargled with
Dobells solution after each meal. If
line children are too young to rinse
or gargle, wash the mouth with a
piece of fabric dipped in Dobell's So
luton. Children should be kept out
of crowded places.
The youngsters should not be per-
mitted to sit on the damp ground nor
have their bodies chilled, day or
night. They should not battle in cold
water.

good time allowance he leaves the

There are seven serving time in
