BEST MAN AT A WEDDING.

Do you know why the bridegroom's
attendant at the wedding is called
'best man" and how he happens to be
such an important factor at society
wedding? He is supposed to look after
the ushers, the carriage, the wedding
ring and a host of other things that
the fortunate lover could not be ex-
pected to concern himself with at such
4 time. But there was period in the
history of the human family when the
best man had other duties than these
to perform. Ii was when there was no
church ceremony and when primitive
people had come to the conclusion that
marriage within the tribe was not good
for the race. Then il became the fash
ion for the young man Of marriageable
age TO 90 forth In quest Of a bride. the
daughter OF some neignborlng tribe.
Perhaps the girls were not entirely
unwilling to be captured. but no girl.

Sugar beets and mangels tend 10 In
crease milk production when fed 10
dairy cows. but experiments conducted
at the Ohio experiment station show
that corn silage is far more economical
To feed. Because Of this fact these
dairy experts do not advise the feeding
Of beets exeep; for high records where
cost is a minor consideration or where
the number of cows Is too small TO per-
nit the use of silo.
Cows fed beets had keen apnetltes
and ate more food because Of the slim
ulating effects of this root crop. After
ten years work the Ohio station has
found that two pounds of dry matter
can be produced In the form OF silage
at less cost than one pound in the form
OF beets. Convenience In feeding Is In
favor of silage.

WAY TO CONTROL
THE OK MARBLE PEST

Injury by the OK MARBLE amounting
to millions OF dollars annually could
be reduced 10 almost nothing If stock
men would practice effective practical
methods of control. according To G. \.
Dean. professor of entomology In the
Kansas Agricultural college.
The presence of the OK MARBLE Is de-
tected by passing the hand over the
back of the animal. The MARBLE may
he destroyed by putting kerosene. tnr-
pentine or mercurial ointment in or
on the opening through the skin direct
ly over The grubs. This treatment
should he given when the grubs APP
pear on the backs Of cattle. because II
the grabs become tough before being
killed they are likely 10 cause sores.
II the opening through the skin Is
very small it shoad he enlarged with
a smooth, pointed stick A maehinist's
oil can having a slender nozzle furnish
es an excellent method OF applying the
medicine. This treatment may be ap-
piled rapidly by running the cattle
through n chute, with one man sta
toned ON each side provided with an
oil can filled with the medicine.
The cattle should be examined from
fifteen to twenty days later. and any
grubs that escape the first treatment
should be squeezed out and crushed.
Ii is important that any grubs
squeezed out should be destroyed, else
they will transform into adult flies.
The OK MARBLE Is one Of the worst
enemies of cattle. especially In the
grazing sections. II Is sometimes called
botfly and hcelfy and Is also often
spoken OF as a grub.

adult fly. like many other BOTTLES, re-

Corn Experiment Lesson.

In experiments with corn at the
Pennsylvania state college during the
last few years heavy seed gave n little
better field termination and little
better yield than light seed. Seed from
ears which terminated quickly gave n
slightly better field termination. Seed
selected on the stalk terminated better
than seed selected at huskinc time in
an outdoor test, for the single year for
which the record was kept. Seed Sc
lected at husking In three years trials.
for some unaceountable reason, gave
the better field termination. The
Yields were about alike.
