STARCHY PARED CORN
 SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROT
One of Most Useful Discoveries
 Recently Made.
Means Provided in Selecting Seed That May Do Away With Neces- sity of Testing Each Ear
 How to Distinguish.

tPrepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 In the study of root, stalk, and ear rotS of corn, one of the most useful discoveries that has been made is a very noticeable difference between starchy ears and horny ears in the ire quencY of infection and in the vigor of plants produced. These differences are discussed in Department Bulletin 1862, Relation of the Character of the Endosperm to the Susceptibility of Dent Corn to Root Rotting, by John F. Frost, assistant patholOgist. The investigations were carried on jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture and Purdue university agricultural experiment station.
 Ears of the dent varieties that have Starchy kernels have been found to be infected with root-rot organisms more frequently than ears in the same seed lots that have horny kernels. This provides means of selection that may help to do away with the necessity of testing every ear to deter mine whether from the standpoint of rOot-rot infection it Is desirable to plant. Starchy kernels are easily dis tinguished from those with horny endosperms. The horny kernel is more or less translucent; that is, 1t lets the light pass through in the same way that oiled paper does. Starchy kernels are opaque-like a piece of chalk.
 Starchy ears of dent varieties pro- duce larger numbers of weaker grow ing plants, more susceptible to root rots in the field, than do ears of more horny composition.
 There is an impression among corn growers that the depth of the dents is an indication of the starchiness of the kernels, but this has not been shown to be true. Chaffy kernels are usually very starchy, but starchiness is not necessarily associated with nOrmally-matured ears that are rough.

POOR SIRE IS ALL OF HERD''
In Making Selection of Boar, ConsId- CT His Individuality, Ancestry,
 and His Offspring.

Everyone who will need a boar next winter knows it just as well now as he will later on. "Procrastination is the thief of time,' so why wait un- til everyone has picked out the best and only the culls are lett?
 Again you may make the mistake of buying a young boar and start using him without trying him out.
 In selecting herd boar, three things should be considered, individu- ality, ancestry and if an aged animal, his offspring. In considering the individ- ual, of course type, quality, bone, mas culinity and size for age are the main things to consider. The prospective purchaser should always insist on sec ing the sire and dam, and as many of the close relatives as possible. By so doing, one gets a good idea of what he can expect from the boar when he is mated to suitable females. Of course, the surest buy Is to buy the aged boar which has been tried, and in considering him, one should always insist on seeing as many of his off spring as possible. Here one has a sure check of what the boar will do.
 It has been said that, "A good sire is half the herd, but a poor sire is all of it." No statement Is more true

PUREBRED ANIMALS DO BEST
Summer and Empty Managers in Winter--Feed Right.

A purebred animal represents con- tinuity of ideals and ideas of farmers and breeders of most breeds for long periods of time. Find out what the breeders of your choice breed want, what they have worked for and what their ideas are and then get into pace with them.. Purebreds do better than scrubs when given necessary feed and attention. They can look just as tough and disgraceful as any scrubs if sub mitted to bare pastures in summer and an empty manager in the winter season Under such conditions, they pay no bills nor taxes. But, give them a chance to grow and develop and they will pay we'll for their keep. If they don't, they are not what they should be or you aren't doing as you should. If you are doubtful of the purebredS' worth, try well grown purebred sire for your next crop of lambs, pigs, calves or colts.

FEEDING MINERALS TO HOGS
Farmers Believe It Assists Growth and Development as We'll as Pro-
 noting Digestion.

It has been well said that nobody has very much really practical scien- tific knowledge about feeding minerals to hogs, but most farmers believe that it does assist growth and develop ment, as well as promotes digestion, so there you are. Probably the best form in which to feed it is in ordinary fine ground raw bone, but some use rock phosphate. claiming equally good re sults A common mixture is salt, copperas, glauber salts, sulphur and charcoal mixed with ground bone, combination that is not highly scien- tific, but probably satisfies the feeder who feels that he must use SC 'ething of the kind. The best method of feed ing this Is in combination with tankage and in such amount that 1O0pound pig may get half an ounce of 1t in a day.

"Of all the internal parasites affect ing animals, there is probably none more disastrous than the stomach worms" says Geo. H. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural college. "rhis is especially true of sheep. The first symptoms are dullness and lack of thrift. These bloOdsucking parasites soon cause anemia which is manifested by paleness of the mucous membranes, such as the mouth Sheep that are affected may have a swelling under the jaw, which is commonly known as "bottle-jaw."

TESTS DEFECT REMADE MILK
Necessary That Some Method Be De-
 vised That Natural Product Be - Distinguished.

Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 The increased use of remade milk and cream-that Is. milk and cream made from powdered or condensed milk and sweet-cream butter-has made necessary some method by which they may be distinguished from the natural products. Such test has been devised by chemists of the United States Department of Agriculture, and 1t is now possible to detect as little as 10 per cent of remade milk in mix ture with natural pasteuriZed milk. If milk powder has been used in making the mixture, the amount that can be detected will depend on the degree of heat used in it's manufacture.
 The test for both milk and cream Is based upon the color produced when the washed curd made from them is dissolved in sodium hydroxide When this curd solution has stood for sev- eral hours a characteristic yellow color develops in the samples taken from remade milk and cream or mix lures containing them; samples of the natural products or only slight mix lures do not show it.
 Remade milk and cream are whole some foods if made properly from good, natural milk Sut should be sold for what they are, and this test makes it possible for food officials to deter mine whether or not the consumer is being deceived.

TAKE RIGHT CARE OF CREAM
During Hot Weather 1t Should Re- ceiVe More Attention-cooI Soon
 as Possible.

During hot weather cream must re- ceive better care on the average farm. As soon after sepagating as possible cool the cream by setting the can in cold water Never mix the fresh warm cream with the cream from pre- viOus separation until cooled as low as possible. Do not keep cream too long at the farm. Send it to the creamery or take it 10 the cream sta tion at least twice week, and three times a week when the weather gets hot. Poor, stale cream will not make good butter. If the creamery cannot make good butter the average price of cream will be lower than If good but ter can be made.

AR|zONA'S FEDERAL
 TAXAS, MADE LOW TER. BY AMENDED LAWS

Reductions in federal taxes, which are effective for the current year, will save the taxpayers of the Ari- zona district the enormous sum of $1, ,063,172, according to a special survey of the cancellations and de- creases in tax rates provided by the revenue act of 1921, completed yes terday by International Collector Frank R. Stewart.
 The reduction in taxes for 1922 is approximately as follows:
 income tax .......... 'Soo4, ,4oo Transportation tax ......s.. 497 ,3Sl Sales and luxury tax ...... 211 1883
 While the transportation, sales and luxury tax cancellations become eff fective January l of this year, the income tax reduction covers 1921 as well as 1922, and thereafter.
 One Big Feature
 An outstanding feature of the re- port is the fact that during the four years the transportation tax was operative, the Arizona district paid Uncle Sam $1,381, ,3O0.3S in trans portation tax, divided as follows:
 Freight .................. .ssS0, ,S33. .01 Passenger ............... 4S6,591 .33 Express ............... 12,355.5o Pullman berth ........ 1,520,4S
 This means that in the last four years $17,141 ,254 was expended in the Arizona district for transporta- tion charges alone. Of this amount $11 1,010,412 was for freight charges $154,444 for express, s6,02,392 for passenger fares, $19,000 for Pullman berths. Let it be borne in mind that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific sys- tens collect an enormous tax in Arizona that is not reflected in the above figures for the reason that the returns of the aforementioned com panies are made from their main offices in other states.
 The $354 .40S income tax deduction is due to the fact that the exemp- tions allowed heads of families and dependents under the 1921 law is s2,50O for heads of families and $400 for each dependent, which means an increased exemption for a married couple with one dependent of $700, l or tax saving of BPS.
 The survey stressed the fact that the relief afforded by the decreased taxation affects every person in the Arizona district who travels, pays freight, sends an express package buys Pullman berth, takes a drink of soda water, or who has taxable income. In other words the relief afforded reaches all classes.
 Although the Arizona office faces a tax reduction of more than one million dollars annually, Collector Stewart declared that the total col lections for the coming year will not 1 he materially affected. He predicted that the marked expansion in every | class of business in the Arizona dis trict will furnish sufficient new taxes to easily absorb the one million wiped out by the last revenue act.

Crop Rotations.

Finding a grOWer who IS conVlnceu that clover is essential in crop rota- tions is as easy as finding quack grass, but finding one who knows all about growing the crop without fail ure is as hard as finding four-leaf clover itself When we do reach that "four-leaf clover" fellow he is quite apt to insist that the four leaves stand for phosphate lime, manure and moe ulation. Hence all public agencies en- gagged in agricultural advancement are bent upon solving the solution of clov- CT failure.

DAIRY FACTS
SERVICEABLE BREEDING RACK
Useful Device When Bull Becomes Heavy Is Not Difficult to Build
 -Must Be Braced. <

A bull that is a good individual and that has excellent breeding back of him should be kept in service at least until his daughters come in milk. If he transmits his breeding to his daughters he should be kept in service until he is no longer useful. To fol- low this plan it is necessary to eX- change bulls with other breeders and in most cases it will be necessary to use a breeding rack after the bull be comes too heavy. It is too often the case that the breeding value of good bull is not discovered until he is dead
 very serviceable breeding rack can be made as follows: Take two blanks by 12 by 9 feet long and place them on q level foundation for the floor of the breeding rack. These blanks should be placed one and one

half feet apart in the front part of the rack and two feet in the rear, in- side measurements. Each side of the breeding rack has three posts made of the same material as the floor which are four feet high in front and. one and one-half feet in the wear. The posts are nailed to the floor and a plank ? by 12 by 9 feet long is nailed on the top of the posts. Two-inch strips are nailed across the top of the breeding rack at intervals of ten inches to prevent the bull from slip ping.
 The breeding rack must be we'll braced with 2 by 4's as indicated in the diagram. Four pieces l by 6 are nailed across the front end to prevent 1t from spreading. A by is nailed across the floor plank just back of the middle posts. A stanchiOn is placed in the front end of the breeding rack which is so constructed that it can be moved backward or forward.-The Prairie Farmer.

DON'T NEGLECT VACCINATION
On Account of Virulence of Cholera Attack Last Year 1t Is Best
 to Use Preventive.

Tn many states hog cholera was the most active last year that it has 4 been for some time. The demand for veterinarians time in vaccination and for serum from the serum plants became so great that many were un- able to get attention to their herds jn time.
 On account of the extent and viru- fence of the attack last year it is rec commended that no chances be taken by neglectfng to vaccinate this years pig crop. Serum is a preventive agent, not a cure, so it is poor policy to put off vaccinating until the disease ap- pears.
