I'lilke has it will be hunted instead of he having the market. ; Poor stocking is responsible for a great deal of off-quality grain. When grain is cut green or is weedy it will mold quickly if put in round shocks. Long shocks should be set up north and south as as to give both sides the benefit of the drying sun. The man who believes in thirteen beingan unlucky numbercertuinly has some reason for his belief when this year is considered, at least from a corn-production standpoint. Apples are a ‘‘drug on the market”’ with us a again this year, too many for home demand and no way of reaching those who need and would be willing to pay a good price for them. When farmers have learned the value of co-operation this will be a thing of the past. Stock is drinking a lot of water this weather. I cannot understand how I can hold so much water, and with live stock having a capacity in pro- portion, the drain on the water supply is something fierce. The farmer and his automobile are comrades and may be seen sailing! ing nothing about. To advise keep- ing. stock that cannot be supplied with sufficient water is very imprac- tical. There is reason in all things. Filling the Silo. By P.M Brandt. Under normal conditions corn’ is ready to be put in the silo when*the grain is dented and glazed but still soft enough to be broken with the thumb nail. At this stage the lower leaves of the plant and the outside of the shuck will have turned brown and the corn is practically matured but still contains moisture enough to pack-well in the silo. It is doubtful if there is any place on the upland of Missouri where the condition of this year’s corn crop is anything like the normal. This makes it difficult to say this year just what is the right stage to cut the corn intended for silage. The Missouri College of Agriculture gives the fol- lowing direction for filling silos: The best practice to follow is to allow the ear to mature as much as possible and at the same time retain enough moisture in the plant to allow the corn to pack well in the silo.

Howe, Adrian, Mo., says: “I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills just as highly today as I did some years ago, when I gave a public state- ment in their favor. I was troubled with kidney complaint and backache for about six years. My back was so lame and sore at times that I could hardly stoop or lift. The kidney se- cretions were too frequent in passage and when being voided, were attend- ed with pain. I was on the lookout fora remedy that would relieve my trouble and I was finally induced to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. I procured a supply and as they helped me from the first I continued: using them until Ihad finished the contents of three boxes. By that time my trouble had entirely disappeared and I have had no return of the symptoms up to the present time.’’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Stinking smut or bunt, is a fungus disease which attacks the kernels of the wheat plant and causes a very serious loss to the crop. This dis- ease is propagated by means of spores, which are formed within the grains of the diseased plants. An in- fected kernel, when broken open, has a very fetid odor, which gives the disease its common name. During thrashing a large number of diseased kernels are broken open and the spores set free which adhere Othe nea D Kerne YY Den nese kernels are planted the fungus spores germinate. and immediately pene- trate the young wheat seedlings. The fungus continues to grow within the tissues of the plant at the growing tip, but gives no apparent evidence of its presence until the wheat plant begins to form the new grain. At this time the fungus develops very rapidly, and forms its spores within the wheat kernels. The diseased kernels are enlarged which cause the glumes of the wheat flower to stand out, giving the head an enlarged ap- pearance; but other than this, there is no evidence of the disease condi- tion of the field until some of the given off. ther corn is liable to be very dry not | less than two men should be in the} sllo at all times. They should keep; the silage higher at the walls than in {the center and should continually tramp it next to the wall. The cen- ter will settle by itself. Many people had mouldy silage last year because ; they did not tramp it tight enough to} keep the air out. Furthermore, the | | silage will not settle as much while fermenting if it is tightly packed as it is put in the silo. The silage will settle considerably the first few days while it is ferment- ' ing most rapidly. If possible it should ; be refilled after this settling stops. When filling is complete it is well to run a few loads of weeds on top of the corn. The weeds will rot and, seal over the top partly preventing | air from reaching the silage and| eliminating some of the usual waste of rotten silage. The silage should, be tramped especially at the walls of | the silo at least once a day during the | first week after filiing. This helps, to seal the silo tightly and prevents; some of the spoilage of the top layer of the silage. Real Estate Transfers.

A machine that has thrashed smut- ted wheat becomes badly contaminat- ed with these dust-like spores, and if this machine is afterwards used to thrash a crop in which no smut is present, the grain becomes contami- nated. In this way the smut may ap- pear the next season on a farm where it has previously been absent. Clean, seed may also be contaminated by be- ing placed in sacks that have previous- ly held smutted wheat. In the same way, a contaminated drill may be a source of smut when clean seed is used. There is no danger of infection from spores which occur in the soil. The only danger from reseeding a field which has produced smutted wheat, is the chance of infected grains giving rise to volunteer plants. The disease is treated as follows:— Mix one pound of 40 per cent com- mercial formalin, with 40 or 50 gallons of water in barrels. This formalin can be secured at most any drug store, Divide the solution between two or three barrels and pour a bush- el or so-of smutted grain into barrel No. 1 stirring thoroughly with a stick.
