THE TERRIBLE DEINODON.

The skeleton of the deinodon has
been unearthed in Alberta, Canada,
and Observation-Disclosures who can
look at a few bones and tell us all
about the animal assure us that we
are lucky that this fellow is not still
among us.
The deinodon is said to be the
swiftest as well as the most power
full beast that ever roamed the
earth. Compared to him the lion
would be no more than a kitten be-
side a mastiff. He had fearful ca
pacity for running, tearing and eat
ing. He was about IL feet high and
20 feet in length. The scientists in
spired by the horror of the thing
nicknamed him "old terrible-tooth."
But there is small occasion to be
alarmed at the present time, for we
are informed that the last of these
awful creatures expired 6O,000,000
years ago. He had his chance to
make good. to justify his existence,
but was unable TO do so. He was re.
placed by animals more in keeping
with the cosmic needs. 1t has been
suggested that present day profiteers
should take warning.

FOUND WANDERING TOOTH

A Swiss dentist has reported the
case of patient who suffered con-
siderably from toothache, headache
and defective eyesight for 10 years
although his teeth seemed perfectly
healthy. In this time occulists and
dentists did their best to relieve him
and several teeth were extracted. Yet
the distressing symptoms continued
and assesses were repeatedly form
ed at the base of healthy teeth. FL
nally an x-ray picture of the mouth
was taken. This revealed a wan
dering tooth" buried deep in the
palate. This rootless tooth was
found to be the source of the infec-
tion. 1t was removed and the patient
now enjoys perfect health and nor
NAL sight, having discarded his
glasses.

SPAIN is HOUSE HUNGRY.

In Spain as well as in other coun'
tries we hear the cry for more
houses. Land both for produce and
building purposes has risen fabulous
ly in price and good many families
are forced to live in tents and even
in caves. The latter abodes are
most common in the vicinity of Gran
ada where the Moors dwelt centuries
ago. Some of these caves have been
fitted up with electric lights and 9th
er modern conveniences so that they
are quite comfortable. A fund OF
$1,50O,OOO has been raised by King
Alfonso to build houses in Seville
for working people.

Injury TO Cranes.

An insect commonly known as the
flea beetle, is doing considerable
damage to grapes this season. Iu
some cases the damage is so extreme
as to greatly reduce the crop. These
insects eat the leaves and then the
fruit. This can be controlled
by spraying with arsenste of lead,
using two pounds of the powder to
fifty gallons Of water This material
can be mixed in combination with
Bordeaux mixture which serves as a
means Of controlling the rot and by
giving the complete spray the insects
and the rot can be controlled.

A TUNIBLING ICEBERG.

The steamship Munaires recently
arrived at New York from Rotter-
dam, reported that a fleet of IA ice
bergs, some fully 100 feet in height.
had been encountered near where the
Titantic was sunk in 1912. On Of
the great bergs, evidently thawed be-
low water, tumbled over while pas
sengers watched. This caused the
breaking off of a large section and a
swing in the opposite direction, soon
followed by another dizzy movement
for the same reason. 1t is because
of the liability to take sudden SOM
ersault that mariners fear to ap-
proach berg.

Hay Cured Before Baling VIII Keep
Indefinitely

Baled hay that has been thoroughly
cured in the barn or stack before bal
ing can be stored Indefinitely with
out danger of heating, say specialists
of the U. S. Department OF Agricul-
ture. It may be piled SO that the
bales fit very closely together. Hay
baled from the window and COCK,
however. unless very we'll cured, is
likely to heat more or less in storage
sometimes the heating becomes SO
intense that the hay becomes severely
damaged or even unmarketable.
Damage from heating may be
greatly lessened and sometimes en-
tirely obyiated by storing the bales
on edge, allowing an inch or two OF
air space between them. When the
bales are piled flatwise the air Is ex-
cluded and heating is likely to occur,
whereas leaving an air space tends 10
prevent heating by inducing circula-
ton, which cools the hay. The first
layer of bales placed in barn shouid
he placed on edge, and the second ana
every alternate layer should be piac-
cd on edge and crosswise. This
,crosswise method or "cording pre-
wants any of the air spaces in the tier
from being entirely covered and IN
sures ventilation through the entire
nile. The heatd air works up AROUND
,he edges of the bales and the cooler
air enters from the sides and bottom
When bales that have been laid nat
an their sides begin to heat 1t becomes
necessary to move the bales and pie
them in the manner just describd. IL
there are any indications OF heatihs
when the hay is put into the barn OF
az the hay grower has any DOUBT ABOUT
the hay keeping, It is best TO PIE inc
Males crosswise on edge, rather thah
take any risk, even though TINS hie'n-
cd of storing wastes more or less
storage spoce. Cases are on record III
which hay growers, usually beginners
nave baled hay from the windrow
and cock, and because it'spolied IN 'ne
NOV. owing to improper storing nave
become convinced that baling from
the field was not success not rea-
1izine that the fault lay in the man

KENTUCKY CROP ESTIMATE.

with numerous reports of very
short acreage, heavy abandonment
thin stand, and damage by Hessia
fly, Kentucky's wheat crop now pro-
misses 5,S25, 900. bu. compared to a
prospect early in May for 6,143, 900
bushels, according to the June crop
report, issued jointly today at Frank
fort and Louisville by State Com
missioner of Agriculture w G. Han
ma and II. +. Bryant, Kentucky field
agent OF the U. S. Bureau of Crop
Estimates. Last year the final yield
in Kentucky turned out 12,029,0 900
bushels while the 5-year average.
1914-1S inclusive, was 10,316,000
bushels. The greatest cut in acreage
and the heaviest damage apparently
occurred ia Western and Southern
Kentucky.
Oats are doing fine on a good acre
age, except where too badly drowned
out in a few places. The condition
is 92 percent of normal and the acre
age about $4,000, indicating a pro-
production of about 1O,706,000 bu.,
compared to 100000 bushels last
year.
Rye shows a condition of SO per
cent of normal, with about $4,000
acres in the State to be harvested for
grain, this indicates a production of
approximately 629, 200 bushels. com
pared to $4,000 bushels last year.
Barley acreage in Kentucky this
year is about IL percent less than in
1919, due chiefly to increased bur-
ley tobacco acreage. Practically al,
the barley in Kentucky is grown in
the Blue Grass counties. Condition
of barley is 80 per cent of normal,
indicating a production of about 95-
900 bushels.
Most meadows have made good
growth, though some sections are
poor or very weedy, and some of the
first cutting of alfalfa was damaged
by rain. Condition Of clover is SO
percent, with the acreage about ~
PEI cent less than in 1919, due CHEZ
ly to high prices of seed and to win
ter killing. Alfalfa condition is 80
per cent due chiefly to freezing out
The acreage is about 10 per cent less
than in 1919.
Apple prospects are good in most
sections. the average being about IL
percent of crop. Peaches are about
rs per cent of crop, while pears
are about So per cent.
Pasture in most sections averages
fair. All work and crops are very
late. Much blowing, corn planting
and tobacco setting still being done.
Truck crops are growing well now.

The imposition Of a duty of 5 per

and calfskins, and also has sent this
country quantities of cattle hides, tn =
total for the fiscal year of 1919 being
2,O96,S07 pounds. In 1917 the total
was several times that amount.
In 1919 the United States import

OF this amount 41,967,S9O pounds, or
