Poecesees Qualities That May Make It
Valuable in Breeding Variety
Adapted to Hot and Dry
Conditions in Southwest.
A small lot of shelled corn, of a kind
that is new to this country, was sent
to the United States department of
agriculture from Shanghai, China, in
1908, and tested the same season. It
proved to have qualities that may
make It valuable in breeding a corn
Adapted to the hot and dry conditions
of the southwest. The plants raised
in the test average less than 6 feet in
oeight, with an average of 12 green
leaves at the time of tasseling. The
ears averaged 5% inches in length and
4 1-3 inches in greatest circumfer-
ence, with 16 to 18 rows of small
grains. On the upper part of the plant
the leaves are all on one side of the
stalk, instead of being arranged in two
rows on opposite sides. Besides this,
the upper leaves stand erect, instead
of drooping and the tips of the leaves
are therefore above the top of the tas-
sel. The silks of the ear are produced
at die point where the leaf blade is
joined to the leaf sheath, and they ap-
pear before there is any sign of an ear
except a slight swelling.
This corn is very different from any
that is now produced in America. Its
peculiar value is that the erect ar-
rangement of the leaves on one side
of the stalk and the appearance of the
silks in the angle where the leaf blade
joins the sheath offer a protected place
In which pollen can settle and fer-
tilize the silks before the latter are
ever exposed to the air. This is an
excellent arrangement for preventing
the drying out of the silks before pol-
lination. While this corn may be of
little value itself, it is likely that, by
cross-breeding, these durable quali-
ties can be imparted to a larger corn,
which will thus be better adapted to
the southwest.
The discovery of this peculiar corn
in China suggests anew the idea that,
although Ameriea is the original home
of corn, yet It may by some means
have been taken to the eastern hem-
isphere long before the discovery of
America by Columbus. From descrip-
tions in Chinese literature' corn is
known to have been established in
China within less than a century after
the voyage of Columbus. But this
seems a short time for any plant to
have become widely known and used.
Besides, this particular corn is so dif-
ferent from anything in the new
world that it must have been de-
veloped in the old world, and for that
to happen in a natural way would take
a very long time.

Poultry Food.
Nearly every poultryman has a dif-
ferent formula for feeding his poul-
try from dry mash hoppers. Frequent-
ly the mash consists of ground grain
of all common kinds. Sometimes the
grain Is not ground. Again mixtures
of wheat, bran or middlings, buck-
wheat bran or middlings, pinhead or
rolled oats, or corn meal are mixed
In various proportions with beef scrap,
charcoal and grit Tou will hardly
And two men who agree on propor-
tions or Ingredients. Every man must
study out his own probl^h for himself.
He must take into consideration the
bread of fowls he keeps, the amount
of green feed he gives, the amount of
range the fowls have, and a dozen
other points and then decide on what
he tkinks best.
Irregular Eggs.
The primary trouble is ulceration of
the oviduct, followed by, a dilated spot
in the egg passage, which affects the
evenness of the egg. It is not un-
common among our non-sitting breeds.
Pullets that have been unduly forced
by stimulating food, condiments and
excessive meat diet, are likely, vic-
tims to the disorder. Low diet with
plenty of vegetables, is recommended.
Avoid meat for a time, and do not feed
too much corn. As this complaint is
an hereditary one, breeding with birds
Affected with ovarian troubles should
fee avoided.
OREGON COLONY HEN HOUSE
Detailed Instructions for Its Construc-
tion—Cost of Material Does Not
Exceed $16.
This house is 10x14 feet placed on
runners which act as side sills; they
are beveled at both ends.
This siding is nailed flush at top of
plate and laps three inches on the
runners. There are five pairs of raft-
:l i>
Colony House.
ers and the rodf boards are 1 inch
by 3 inch material, set three inches
apart, and the roof is shingled five
inches to the weather.
The nest platform is two feet from
the ground, well braced and is 5
feet long by 22 inches wide.
The nests are made of 5-gallon oil-
cans, the top and part of front being
cut out; 2 inches of the lower part is
left to keep the nest material in, and
a small slit at the top which
acts as a brace. A sloping board is
placed above the nests to keep the
chickens from standing on them, and
it also adds to the darkness.
The perches are made of 3-inch ma-
terial, set flat. They are level, and
12 inches from the dropping-board in
front.
The cost of material, all of which
is new, including lumber, hardware
and paint, does not exceed $18.
GOOD RECIPE FOR WHITEWASH
formula Employed by United States
Government on Its Buildings Out-
ranks Any Other Kind.
The season is always at hand when
there is a demand for a good white-
wash.
The following formula is employed
by the United States government
forts and light houses, and no doubt
outranks any other formula in exist-
ence. It has been published before,
but is well worth repeating:
Take half a bushel of unslacked
lime, slack in warm water, cover it
during the process to keep in the
steam; strain the liquid through a fine
sieve or strainer; add a peck of salt
previously well dissolved in warm
water; three pounds of ground rice
boiled to a thin paste and stirred in
boiling hot; half a pound of powdered
Spanish whiting and a pound of glue
which has been previously dissolved
over a slow fire.
Add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir well and let it stand for
a few days, covered to keep out th*
dirt; strain carefully and apply hot
GENERAL FARM NOTES.
Cool the milk as soon as it is taken
from the cow.
Teach the lambs to eat a little
grain as soon as they are two weeks
old.
Set every broody hen, but not on
pullet eggs—that is, birds under nine
months old.
Renew the sand in the poultry
yards. Clean all the houses and pens,
and whitewash.
Give the interior of the poultry
houses and all the outbuildings a coat
of whitewash.
Don't run the horses too fast. Let
them get used to the hard spring
work gradually.
Put tight fasteners on your feed
bins. The precaution may save you
a good cow or horse some day.
It won't matter what shape flower
beds you make—round, square or ob-
long—so long as you make them,-
Feed the poultry earlier than you
did a month ago. When daylight
comes the chickens want their feed.
Snap beans demand a warm soil
and should not he planted too early.
They may follow the first crop of
radishes or lettuce.
Do not be a selfish gardener. Plant
liberally so your pigs, chickens and
cows may occasionally have a meal
from the garden.
Water the sweet potato bed with
warm water occasionally.- This will
help force the slips. Cover the bed
in cold weather. -
Peanuts are relished by most fowls.
Spanish peanuts are easily grown,
the roots benefit the soil, the hay is
nutritious for stock and the nuts val-
uable for fowls. Plant plenty of pea-
nuts and give the fowls access to
them.
Cotton boll weevils do not thrive
on wheat oats, corn and hay. Those
who plant grain and hay crops will
not produce food for the destruction
of crops of their unfortunate neigh-
bors. But they are apt to receive the
value of their cotton for these pro-
ducts.
Feeding the Horse.
If a system of feeding can be adopt-
ed that is more economical and will
better maintain the good health of
horses, it is Important that it should
be given careful consideration.
Work horses are too often given
haphazard attention on the farm, while
special care is maintained in the feed-
ing of the cows, pigs and sheep.
This should not be so, for certainly
upon the horse's work does the raising
of good crops depend in a large
measure.

Must Have
Hurt Dreadfully
From the Letter Recently Received
From Mrs. L Founder, of
Lake Charles, La., Her
Suffering Must Have J
Been DreadfuL
Lake Charles, La.—"I had no cour-
age or patience left," writes Mrs. E.
Fournier of this place, "as a result of
my great suffering.
"I had backache, headache, heart
palpitation, chills, fainting spells, sick
stomach, nervousness, dragging sensa-
tions and thought every month I
should die.
"No doctor could relieve me and the
month before I began to take Cardui, I
could hardly walk. I could not wear my
corset, and had a pain in my right side.
"Since taking Cardui, I have no more
pain. I can walk as far as I want and
am feeling like a different woman."
If you suffer from any of the symp-
toms described by Mrs. Fournier you
are urged to take Cardui, for it should
surely do as much for you, as it has
done for her
If you are weak and ailing, suffer from
lack of appetite, lack of blood, lack of
nervous vitality, Cardui is probably just
what you need to help you build up
your physical a d nervous constitution.
It builds, strengthens, restores and
acts in every way as a specific, tonitf
remedy, for womanly weakness.

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN
"I am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that I could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till I got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite, sore since. I would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbor's children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So. Ef-

Care of Horse's Feet.
If the horse already has defective
feet keep them carefully trimmed and
shod if necessary. The soft hoof
should be shod and reshod every six
or eight weeks in winter where the
ground is frozen and at all times of
the year where the roads are rocked
or graveled. By keeping the horse
with poor feet properly shod it will
do good service without loss of time.
But it is best to breed for good feet. •

Good Law That Should Be Enforced.
Anti-spitting ordinances, laws and
regulations in more than five-eighths
of the cities and towns of the country
are not enforced as they should be,
alleges the National Association for
the Study of Tuberculosis in a recent
report. While most of the larger cities
of the United States have such laws
on their books, in the great majority
of cases they are ignored or over-
looked. The report covers in detail
the enforcement of the anti-spitting
ordinances in 80 of the largest cities
in the country. During the year 1909
in these 80 cities, 3,421 arrests were
made for violation of the laws regard-
ing spitting in public places. Over
2,900 convictions were secured and
$4,100.87 was collected in fines.
Queer Attribute of Salmon.
Only about 20 per cent, of salmon
spawn before they return up the river
from the sea, and those that do return
after spawning are coarse, and, when
cut up, white in the flesh; in fact, are
known as bull trout, for so-called
"bull trout" are not a different kind
of fish, but are plainly salmon which
have spawned.

The Overland
The King of Cars
No other car has so large a sale—none has
made such amazing records. Price, $1,000 up.
It requires four factories, employ-
ing 4,000 men—turning out 140 Over-
lands daily—to meet the flood-like
demand for these cars. Yet two
years ago a hundred rivals had a
larger sale.
The reason lies largely in the car's
utter simplicity. Its able designer
made it almost trouble-proof.
He created an engine which, for
endurance, is the marvel of engi-
neering.
He designed the pedal control.
One goes forward or backward, slow
or fast, by merely pushing pedals.
The hands have nothing to do but
steer.
A child can master the car in ten
minutes. A novice can drive it a
thousand miles without any thought
of trouble.
The Overland always keeps going,
and almost cares for itself. All the
usual complexities have been elimi-
nated.
That Is why each car sells others,
and our orders for this year's Over-
lands amount to $24,000,000.
Another fact is that no other car
gives nearly so much for the money.
This is due to our enormous output,
and the fortunes Invested in our au-
tomatic machinery. It would bank-
rupt a smaller maker to try to com-
pete with us.
You can get a 25-horsepower Over-
land, with a 102-inch wheel base, for
SI,000. You can get a 40-horsepower
Overland, with a 112-inch wheel base,
for $1,250, The prices include lamps
and magneto.
This car, which has captured the
country, is the car you will want
when you know it.
