SALT CORN TO RETARD HEAT
Acts Not Only as Preservative but Aids
in Drawing Out Water Which
Then Evaporates.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Owing to the large amount of soft
corn that was harvested last fall, spe-
cial care should be given to prevent
it from heating in the crib. Corn that
has already been cribbed without sort
ing should be worked over during
weather unfit for husking. This is es-
peciaIly true if stored in large cribs
without special ventilation. Corn in
large, broad cribs freezes during the
winter months and while frozen ap-
pears to be dry. Investigations, how
ever, have shown That corn in such
cribs dries out little until the weather
begins to warm up in the spring. With
the excessive moisture in the soft,
frosted and immature corn it Is prac-
tically certain that there will be fur
Their spoilage and heating Of the soft
corn as the weather warns up.
The sailing of ear corn in cribs will
retard and in many cases prevent heat
ing. The salt acts not only as pre-
sentative but aids in drawing the water
frUiE the cOTH, Which, tHeA eFdpolate
if the corn Is stored in weff-ventilated
cribs so that the air can circulate free
" through it, The United States has
carried on no special experiments with
sailed corn, but the quantity of salt
recommended ranges from one to two
barrels per 1000 bushels of corn. This
condition, however, will not apply to
shelIed corn stored in elevator bins
where a free circulation Of air through
the corn is impossible. Shelled corn
of high moisture content should be ar
tifcially dried.

In some cases the high price may be

against these losses regardless Of the
weather conditions. The understood,
shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans
do not terminate we'll and their remov-
al will help to secure a uniform stand.
No chances should be taken with the
1918 crop. Only the very best seed
available should be used.
Test termination.
termination tests should be made to
determine what percentage Of the seed
will grow Follow the method COM
monty employed for testing the ger
mination of corn. The seeds may be
laid between moist blotters or folds Of
cloth placed in a shallow dish, COW
cred with a plate and kept in a warm
room; or they may be planted in sand
Or soil.
If the termination Is poor, the fact
must be taken into account when de-
Gliding upon the rate of planting, in or
der to insure a good stand. It is very
important that seed be tested this
year, since early frosts in the fall Of
1917 prevented the crop from latur-
ing properly in some Of the principal
bean-grOwing sections of the country,
A failure to do so may result in a
poor stand and much reduced yield.

scribed previously. The pigs viii not
suffer Ii they do not suck for few
minutes after narrowing.
Cut Out Back Teeth.
Before placing the pigs with the SOW,
cut out the eight small tusklike teeth.
There are four of these On each jaw
In the rear Of the mouth. These teeth
are very sharp. and IL left in the pigs's
mouth they will likely cause tearing OF
the sow's udder. and the little pigs cut
one another's mouth while fighting for
teat. These teeth can be removed
with bone forceps. wire nippers, or
with. knife. Never pull out the teeth.
Always cut or break them of. After
this operation is over, place the pigs
with the SOW. care being taken that
each one gets to teat. When the
after-birth is passed, it should be re-
moved from the pen at once and bur
led or burned. There is good reason
to believe that eating the after-birth
Is often the beginning Of the habit of
eating pigs.
AS a rule, the SOW should have no
food the hrst "a hours after narrowing
but should be given liberal drink Of
warm water. II, however. she shows
signs OF hunger, thin slop of bran
and middltngs may be given. The feed
ing for the first three or four days
should be light and the time consumed
in getting the SOW On full feed should
be from week to ten days, depending
on the size and thrift Of the litter.
The sowss Feed.
Great care must be taken to feed the
sow properly. II she Is not being prop
erly fed, the little pigs will show 1t.
II the pigs follow the SOW around very
much and pull at her teats, 1t is good
sign that she Is not giving enough milk,
and more feed should be given to stim-
ulate the milk fow. When a SOW is
overfed, causing heavy flow Of milk,
securing Is generally produced In the
pigs. II this happens, cut down the
sow's feed Immediately. Give the sow
: Is or 20 grains of sulphur of iron fcop-
peras) In her slop morning and even
ing, and IL necessary, increase the dose
until results have been obtained.
Exercise to Necessary.
After the sow has farrowed, 1T Is
best for her to be In the open air. OF
course, If the pigs. are narrowing dur
ing the winter nonths, care will be
needed, and 1t may be necessary to let
the pigs reach the age Of two weeks
before turning them out. They can,
however, get considerable exercise 10
the piggery or in the lot with the sow,
and there Is often lot adjoining
harm that Is sunny and sheltered from
the cold winds. where the sow and
pigs may be turned for exercise. Do
not allow the pigs to run out during a
cold rain.
II they do not get exercise, they will
get fat and lazy and the usual result
is the ''thumps." This is caused by the
fat getting SO thick around the heart
aud lungs that the pigs find 1t difficult
to breathe. The, best way to prevent
this is to avoid oyerfeeding and make
the young pigs take plenty Of exercise.
