the stay wire are bent at a slight up
ward angle and the ears are pushed
onto them, the wire going easily into
the pith of the cob at the butt. An
advantage of Irvine and these holders
made of wire fencing is that they do

Mouse-Proof Containers Urged.
Once seed corn is dried to the "dry-
as-a-bone" stage it may be left where
it dried or stored in mouse-proof
boxes or barrels, but above all things
it must be kept where the air is dry.
One farmer has reported an effective
way of keeping his seed ears after dry
ing them. He puts loose, dry oats in
the bottom of bin, piles in the dry
ears and then covers the pile with
oats. The corn, he says, keeps thor
oughly dry and is protected from rats
and mice.

SULPHUR is BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking ont or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-S Sulphur,
says a noted skin specialist. Because
of its germ destroying properties, moth
ing has ever been found to take the
place of this sulphur preparation that
instantly brings ease from the itching,
burning and irritation.
Mentho- Sulphur heals eczema right
up, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the torment
or Disagreement. A little jar of
Rowles Sulphur may be OBJ
tanned at any drug store. It is used
like cold cream.

A table and cooking syrup made
from sweet potatoes is the latest ad-

Through experiments conducted at
a small plant in Georgia over a period
of several years department chemists
were able to produce a syrup which,
it is said has possibilities for table
and cooking purposes, but also max
ing candies such as tafies, kisses and
caramels. The rather dark color might
preclude its use in general baking,
though it would be valuable in such
dark products as ginger snaps and
