fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with a hearty appetite for break

TERMINATION TEST or CORN
Necessary to Keep Seed Ears In Well
Ventilated Place--Artlflcla Heat
Is Beneficial.

Tests In caring for seed corn at the
Ohio station, show that corn giving the
best termination tests IN the spring is
that which has been dried out well in
the fab and to which some artificial
heat has been applied.
1t is necessary to keep the corn well
ventilated, which may be accomplished
by suspending the ears from a wire
in a shed or attic; or the ears may be
placed IA a sling between two strings
SO that they do not touch each other.
II the corn Is thoroughly dried before
freezing weather the termination test
generally proves satisfactory IN tins
spring.

in Wyoming followed the same prac-
tice and when his red and roam steers
went to the Omaha market they weigh
ed the average OF the three-year-olds
off the same range. Why?-because
they were sired by purebred bulls of
breed that transmitted size and quail
ity.
Two well-known feeders in WiscOn-
sin finished load of steers by Short
horn bulls and sold them on the Chi
cago market last summer and received
$1S.35 per hundredweight. They had
both size and quality. No such result
would have been possible either in this
or the several cases referred to above
with bulls of an inferior standard.
Most Useful Movement.
There is now spreading over this
country a movement to place purebred
sires on the farms in the place of the
grade or scrub sires now in use. 1t is
one Of the most useful movements ever
undertaken. Particularly in Wisconsin
is the movement being actively pushed.
The results SO far are very assuring
and with any considerable degree of
success in the distribution Of the pure
bred sires an addition to the wealth
of the Wisconsin stock farmers will be
made that viii be beyond cOmputa-
ton.
This movement viii gradually spread
over the entire country and our live
stock viii then yield an adequate re-
turn for the high priced feed and la
Dor and land that are required in their
maintenance.

IMPROVEMENT OF CORN CROP
Little Extra Care in Selecting, Curing
and Testing Seed VIII Increase
Net Profit.

Extra care in selecting, curing, test
ing and grading the seed corn will do
much to improve the stand and yield
of corn, thus saving labor, reducing
cost per bushel and increasing net
profit per bushel. It requires the
same labor to manure, to pillow, to
disk, to harrow, to plant and to culti-
vate 40 per cent stand as is required
for an so per cent or 100 per cent
stand.

SUPERIOR QUALITY OF MEAT
Hog That Loses in Weight Should Not
Be KiIled-Fat Gives Juiciness
and Flavor.

prepared by the United States Depart

A hog in a medium condition, gain
ing rapidly in weight, yields the best
quality of meat. Do not kill a hog
that is losing flesh. A reasonable
amount of fat gives juiciness and fla
vor to the meat, but large amounts Of
fat are not essential.

mo- KNOWN CURE
FOR BIACKHEAD
Ailment Caused by Parasite, and
Is Characterized by Great
Sores in CaeCa.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES BEST
on Farms Where an Outbreak Has oe-
Cured All Birds Not Affected
Should BE Sold for Meat
Disinfeet Premises.

Blackhead in turkeys is caused by
a parasite and is characterized by
great sores in the caeca (bllnd In
testines) and liver. This microscopic
parasite causes irritations, destruction
Of the tissues, and nearly always the
death of the affected turkeys.
The characteristic symptoms of the
disease are as follows: The loss Of
appetite and tendency Of affected birds
to stand apart from the rest of
the flock in common. When the intes-
tines are severely affected the birds
have diarrhea and the droppings are
liquid and stained orange yellow; this
is Characteristic symptom. Diseased
birds are frequently found dead under
the rOosts.
Means Of Diagnosis.
The only sure means of diagnosis,
however, is by post-mortem examina-
ton of bird that has recently died.
The bird should be cut open to ex-
pose the internal organs, and the liver
and caeca examined. The presence of
large sores in the substance of the
liver and the caecal walls is sufficient
evidence for diagnosis. The
caecal sores may vary from single
point to a large scab covering nearly
all the lining of both caeca. The liver
Is very much enlarged and the sores
on it are two-ffths to three-ffths Of
an inch in diameter.
At the present time there is no
known cure for this disease and the
only means by which 1t can be con-
trolled is by preventive measures On
farms where an outbreak has occurred,
all the turkeys which have not come
down with the disease should be mar
keted for meat and not sold for
breeding. Nor should eggs from an
infected flock be used for Matching.
1t would be well not to attempt to re-
stock farm with turkeys for several
months; and not until thorough dis
injection Of the premises has been
made, by exposing the ground to the
hot summer sun and by the liberal use
of freshly slaked lime in the poultry
houses, roosting places, and feeding
pens.
