Avoid feeding new corn during the

The following is a good combination
for moist mash: 100 pounds wheat
middlings, 100 pounds cornmeal, 100
pounds wheat bran, so pounds meat
scrap, 35 pounds gluten meal, IL
pounds oil meal (old process), one
pound common salt. If dry mash
is desired add 100 pounds of ground
oats to the above.
During the winter two parts by
weight of corn should be fed to one
part by weight of wheat. If plenty
of sour milk is at hand, good water,
sunshine and fresh air supplied, the
house kept tight and free from
drafts and the quarters dry, and man.

i swung my little Granddaughter
in the Swing, nigh unto the place

always asked for More, and never
wished to stop. And she looked up
at the two Great Trees, and the Pole
across from the one to the other, and
the Rope that hung from the Pole
And she said, Grandpa, did you find
this Swing?
And / said,I did not find it, my

And she said, Did the pole grow

And l said, Nay, my dear; man

CARE FOR THE SEED
CORN..bEG|N NOW.
AND KEEP IT UP
SHOULD BEGIN AFTER GATHER
ING AND CONTINUE UNTIL
PLANTING TIME

The same day that seed corn is
gathered from standing stalks as
they grow in the field the husked ears
should be put in a dry place where
free circulation of air, and so plac-
ed that the ears do not touch one an
other.
This is the only safe way, accord
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture, which says that much
good seed has been ruined because it
was thought to be dry enough when
gathered. Many farmers think that
their autumns are so dry that these
precautions are not necessary, yet
there is no locality where the corn
will not be bettered by a thorough
drying treatment. If corn is left in
the husk it may sprout or mildew
during warm wet weather, and it is
more likely to become infested with
weevils.
The vitality of seed may be reduc-
ed by leaving it in a sack or in a
pile for even day after it has been
gathered. During warm fall days,
with some moisture in the cobs and
kernels, the ears heat or mildew in
a remarkably short time.
The best and cheapest treatment
Immediately after the ears are gath
cred and husked is to tie the ears
singly on binder Irvine at about g.
inch intervals, the Irvine being loop
ed about the middle of the ears so
that they hang balanced and and hori-
zontal Ordinary binder Irvine is
strong enough to support from 10 to
20 ears.
Wire racks are cheaper in the long
run and more convenient. A good
form is made from welded or woven
wire fencing, the upright wires cut
off and bent upward being used as
supports for the individual ears. The
lateral wires, about three inches long
on either side of the main upright,
are thrust into the butt end of the
cob. These racks will last many
years and are easily stored when not
in use. In use, with the corn upon
them, they have somewhat the ap-
pearance of giant fern fronds. The
central wire is the midrib of the leaf,

be used at once since there will be
considerable loss in storage. There
are also fungi always present on po-
tatoes, which will cause rotting if the
storage conditions are not good, or If
the potatoes are wounded or bruised.
Hot humid conditions will hasten the
development of these molds, while
dry, cool, well ventilated locations
are safe. Experiments have shown
that high temperature Goo degrees
Fahrenheit) in the storage cellar or
car may lead to breaking down of
the tuber, which manifests itself by
blackening of the heart.
Only good, sound, well ripened po-
tatoes should be put into the pit or
warehouse. The pits must be made
with care in order that the potatoes
may be kept cool and well ventilated.
The usual waste that comes from rot
ting in storage may be prevented if
a little care is exercised.

and the ears of corn stand out on each
side like the fern leaflets, or like
leaflets on locust tree.
Wooden seed racks, in which the
ears are stored in rows on separate
shelves, are convenient dryers, and
have no drawbacks in a dry, breezy
place, although the air can not cir
culate freely on all sides and damp.
ness may be held where the row of
kernels rests on the wood.
Only during unusually damp wealth
err at gathering time will fire
be necessary to help drying. Yet if
heat is applied in a poorly ventilated
place, it will do more harm than
good. If used, the fire should be
slow and long-continued. 1t should
be below the ears with plenty of good
ventilation above them.

great rejoicing. The consciousness that
the Lords house was taking shape,
even though the mere foundations

sic while the work was being done. On
der the influence of music men will do
better work, armies will march and
fight better when bands are playing.
While there was great JOY, there was
also, mingled sorrow. This was on the
part of the elders who had seen the
former temple. The meanness of the
present temple in comparison with
Solomon's temple caused their praise
to be drowned with their sorrow.
These people belonged to that class
who think that nothing now is so good
as in the former days. So completely
were these voices commingled that the
people could not discern the one from
the other.

Potatoes Unusually Free From
Disease

Because of the high price of POI
tatoes last year, many householders
are putting in supply for the winter
this year. Some, however, hesitate
in the fear that the tubers will spoil.
Good sound potatoes, stored under the
proper conditions of heat and mois-
ture will keep sound and firm until
spring.
Late blight, which is the common
cause of rotting in the cellars, is en-
tirely absent in Michigan this year,
because of the dry weather conditions
during the first half of the growing
season. Fortunately, potatoes can
be stored this season with no fear of
rotting from this disease. In some
of the northern regions black leg is
abundant This is bacterial disease
and affected tubers rot at the stem
ends. Tubers showing black leg should

days and full force put on to work
the property. This is considered one
of the best mining properties IN
southern Oregon. At one time 1t was

Vienna Bakery
Quits Business

The Vienna bakery and lunch
room, which in the past years has
built up reputation Of being one
of Ashland's most trusted and pro-
gressiye business institutions, quit
business last week. Mr.. Miller, pro-
prietor Of the business, states that
the reason for his closing the store
is that for the past two months he
had advertised extensively for first
class baker, but that nome could be
found In the state. Mr.. Miller's trou-
BILE started last month when his mas
ter baker, s. s. Drake, enlisted In the
army as baker and left his position
vacant, Since that time Mr.. Miller
has employed several bakers but none
of them was capable Of upholding the
reputation of his place, and as no
other good bakers we're available he
saw nothing else to do but to quit
business.
Mr. Miller will continue to reside
in Ashland for some time yet and
expects to go into some other line of
endeavor in the city. He has sold
a considerable amount Of the equip
ment of his business to Mrs. L. j.

Milk Prices Raise
September lst

Milk retailers of Ashland have
been obliged to advance the price of
milk and cream, to go into effect Sep
tember 1. This advance has been
made to offset the high price of feed
and dairy supplies. which in several
instances have doubled in price.
After September 1 it will be unlaw-
full to sell milk to consumers from
cows which have not been tuberculin
tested. In case COWS are not tested
the milk must be pastuerized. This
law was undoubtedly passed for the
benefit of milk consumers, but at the
same time adds to the cost of milk
production by taking added help and
time besides the implements used in
the process. 1t is thought by the
milk dealers that this expense should
be partly borne by the milk dealers,
and for this reason they have decided
to make an advance in prices the first
OF next month. The revised price list
appears in another part of this paper.
The following is an extract from
letter from ]. D. Mickle, dairy and
food commissioner, to e. N. Norton,
