BY picking them at this time, the
grower avoids danger Of sprouting' In
the field with moist, damp weather,
and also the danger Of destructive in
sects. After they are picked, the ears
should have their moisture taken out
as quickly as possible. All that Is
necessary is free circulation of air.
This can be obtained by drawing back
the husks, tying the ears together In
pairs and hanging over wire. If
ears are hung in too large clusters.
there Is danger of mildew. Care should
also be taken to avoid freezing, espe-
cially before the ears are thoroughly
dry.
Fall blowing is matter governed
by local conditions. and the farmers

Treatment for Lice.

One of the disturbing factors which
will interfere materially with the pro-
duction Of the. laying hen, as well as
with the growth and general health of
the little chicks, is the. presence of
body lice and the sO-c2fled red mites,
say poultry experts, whs warn poultry
men to beware Of these pests and free
their premises from them. s. .@
One of the simplest and most effec-
tive methods Of getting rid Of lice on
poultry is to dust them with sodium
fluoride. This powder can be obtained
from any drug store, and for cenven-
fence in handling should be put into .
powder can of some form. Shake the
powder into the loose feathers around
the vent, holding the hen with the
head down; give the same treatment
under each wing, being sure that the
powder gets down to the skin where
we find the lice. Sodium fiuoride is
very irritating to either fowls or human
beings; therefore prscaution should be
taken in trating fowls 10 see that it is
not inhaled or allowed 10 get into any
cuts or sores on the hands.
If the lice are veN bad repeat in
ten days, and as often as. found neces-
sary hfterward-it should not be for
several months.

Selection of Seed Ears Is of Vital

Prepared by the United States Depart

Nothing in the line of corn culture
is more important than the selection

land for the next seasons crop. Both
of these operations should have at

DON'T DESTROY
YOUR BEST MARKET

If the elevators would pay as much
as the dairy COW for farm crops, we
would see to it that the elevator would
be abundantly supplied; we would all
cash in.
Then why not supply the good dairy
cow just as abundantly when she needs
it and when she will pay more for
what we deliver to her than any other
customer, ask dairy specialists at the

farmer who had good cows that were
producing a market for his surplus
farm crops during the past defation
Of markets, they declare. Fortunate
also was the man, whose crops were
practically a failure last year, if he
had a herd of dairy cows to furnish
him and his family with food and
clothing.
When butterfat drops as it is accus-
toned to do during June, July and
August, the out-of-place dairyman will
make protest about the low markets,
but the older experienced men will
only look amused because they milk

their COWS dry up during these months

Different Classes Require Separate
Storage Places Much De-
ponds on the Skin.

Different classes of vegetables re-
quire different kinds Of storage. The
sweet potato, squash, pumpkin and
fruits Of this class must be stored dry
and warm rather than cold. Potatoes,
cabbages, beets. turnps and the like
are stored in moist atmosphere and
where the temperature is close to
freezing poiat-say, "a degrees F.
The manner of storing depends to
some extent on the rind Of the vege

not transpire moisture very fast, while
those with soft skin such as the
potato and beet, allow moisture to
pass out rapidly and when placed in

There are two main types of straw
berries; the everbaring and the spring
bearing. The culture of either class is
the same.
The plants should be set early in
May in rows four feet apart with the
plants two feet apart in Il row. The
plants should be set out carefully so
that they are put in the ground exactly
at the same depth ut which they have
been growing. All blossom buds
should be removed at the time of the
setting and the number Of leaves
should be reduced to one or two we'll
developed ones.
Strawberries do better on a loamy
soil, though satisfactory crops may be
raised on heavy clay or light sand
The plants should be carefully cult
waited and allowed to produce all the
plants they will but these plants should
not be allowed to take root except
along two-foot strip where the row
was planted. With plenty of moisture
the everbearing varieties will produce
q crop in the autumn of the year in
which they are set.
When freezing weather comes in the
fall cold enough so that the ground is
crusted, Il layer Of four inches Of clean
straw should be put over the plants
This is allowed to remain until the
plants start to grow in the spring. It

MUCH FAITH PUT
INTO PIT SILO
(By J. H. Shepperd)

We are beginning to put faith in the
pit silo to carry over the extra corn or
sunflowers grown in the good years in
western North Dakota and keep it I'M
til bad year comes along Corn sill
age will keep for ten years as good as
new and fancy sun flowers and sweet
clover silage will do it too. Our folks
put down a pit silo right in the barn
yard anywhere and fill it, and if it
settles little just throw some dirt
over it and let the stock use it for
barnyard the same as though 1t were
not there. We must always plant a
.fencepost over it so we won't dig up
the whole barnyard hunting for it
when bad year comes. We got the
Idea from the biblical report of Pha-
rohs dream which Joseph made so
good on by interpreting itsright. We
build pit silo for $25 or less and
our folks can do that easily in good
years. We buy no fancy hoist, just
well wheel and q rope and two wash
tubs to take it out with.
We find, too, that sweet clover
stacked green in stack 10 feet

piled readily cures into high class sill
age without any construction about it
except for topping off of hay to shed
he rain from it. With fence about
1t two feet away and the interspace
strued with straw you can keep the
FROST out and have better sweet clover
silage than we have been able to cure
In regular cement silO Of the better
type.
When you have live stock you find
ways and means Of getting feed for
:, them when it seems impossible, you
have employment in the winter, you
are more economical, and the sheriff
seldom serves eviction papers on you.
It is hard to disprove the fellow who
says, they're eating their heads off,"
Il you talk market price for your time
and feed, but suspicion that most of
US waste the time if we don't have
live stock to care for and few of us
sell the feed for the market price we
talk SO glibly about If we do not have
i've stock to convert it into market
able products for US and then walk it
: to the market place in concentrated
packages. 1 seldom urge it. just
lsk my opponent to go with me into a
good live stock district and look over
the buildings and bank accounts and
mortgages and the folks themselves,
md then Ill go with him into grain
only regions and that ends it. He will
never 60 with me-ile knows better
han to try it. You can not sell much
paint for buildings where there are no
i've stock, and trees don't seem to
thrive on grain farms with us, hut
weeds grow vigorously and the general
tone of the population is less inter-
ested and less interesting in every way
that is worth while. So why debate
the cause? Why not just take the net
result and let that convince us and
push us into action.
