Keeping wesvilE ou5 Of Grain
: w, C., f.. CQhb. Ga, writes: What

fogmatio nalong this line will be appre-

The best means OF keeping weevils
out of corn is through the use CT
carbon bisulphide. This is a white
LIQUID which very readily vaporizes
It has an exceedingly offensive odor
and being heavier than air, it sinks
corn or any other cereals may be
placed and cffectually kills the grain
Weevils or other insects which may
be therein. Repetition of the treat
nlent is of course necessary from
time to time because eggs may
hatch out later on and so reihfest
the stored grain. .a.n
This treatment is not difficult or
costly to administer. Carbon bisul
phide will not burn the hands or
injure the clothes. There is no dam
ger of handling it provided one does
not smoke or handle it in the vicinity
of lights. When bought in any guam
tity it is generally best to store it
in an clubhouse as a measure of
safety. This material has been very
extensively used by thousands Of
farmers in Georgia and other states
for the protection of grain and has
proven efficient for the purpose in
dicaLed.
In order to protect your corn
satisfactorily you should place it i'll
o relatively, tight box or crib. The
tighter the receptacle the smaller
amount of carbon bisulphide it will
be necessary to use, and the more
amount. 1t is rather difficult to
destroy the weevils effectively in. all
open corn crib as it cannot be closed
up sufficiently tight unless very large
tarpaulins are available to cover. 1t
is generally best, therefore, to put
the corn OR grain in relatively tight
boxes and cover it with a heavy
cloth. s.aas

poured out in shallow pans and put
on top of the grain to be treated 1t
can, of course, be thrown directly on
the grain without injury. In treat
ing corn it is desirable often to shuCk
it so that the carbon bisulphide
might be made to do it's work more
effectively. The amount to use is
roughly pound to a. pound and a
half to a ton of grain, and if the
bins are open use say two pounds.
Treating Cow With a FlSshy
Udder
p. W. H. Halcyondale, Ga. writes:
have which has fieshy bag.
1t seems hard and she does not give as,
much milk as she should. Her calf is
ten days old. Can yqou offer any sug-
gestions as to how to treat her uddeE
so she will give more mike. -
1t is not uncommon to find COWS
possessed of what are known as
fleshy udders. There is a tendency
for the udder to degenerate into this
condition in the case of some ami
mails. Of course, if it assumes this
condition there is little you can do
to obviate it, as the result is due to
an inherited tendency. Therefore,
it is better to dispose of a COW of this
character and secure one whose I'D
der maintains its function more
satisfactorily.
A so-called fleshy udder, of course,
may arise from the cracking or har-
dening of the udder due to improper
milking, to the invasion of the udder
by certain forms of bacteria, or to
inflammation which has been set up
as the result of an injury. In the
event the trouble is due to any of
these causes you should proceed to
reduce the inflammation and the
hardness by systematic treatment.
The first thing is to see that the I'd
der is MIXED out clean at least three
times a day. This should be very
gently but firmly done. Then the
udder should be kneaded very thor
oughlye This work should be done
with patience, as rough treatment
may bruise and intensity the condi-
ton you are trying to cure. Bathing
the udder with hot lamentations
for 90 minutes three times a day is
a desirable practice. Have the water
as hot as the hands can possibly
bear. Immediately after the conclu
sion of the bathing you should rub
the udder with vaseline. camphora-
ted oil, lard, or any other greasy
material which will adhere to it and
prevent it's chatting or cracking.
Persistent treatment of the charac-
ter we have mentioned will reduce
inflammation and eliminate hardness
