CHOP FEEDS,
(Experimental Parma Note),
Tile term "chop" or "chop twee" is
a general one used to denote a 'tease
of feoda which are eneentially oat
products. Mill feed, cattle feed, oat
feed, moulee chop are common names
.for these feeds used by the local grist
mill, while some of the larger mine
put out thie product in quantities un-
der apecific brand names. •Cortalu of
these feeds coneist entirely of crudt-
ed or ground oats, others consist al-
most entireni of the by-products of the
oat meal mill (including oat Millen
while others contain a certain admix-
ture of ectru, barley, etc. They are
extremely variable in commoeitiett.
The .Commercial Feeding Settle Act,
under the administration of the De-
partment of Inland Revenue, does not
require any registration of chop
feeds nor any guaranty 'le to their
percentages of protein, fat and fibre.
However. the 'Adulteration Act" has
established a standard of quality for
certain grain products, and it states
that "Chop Food id whole grain of
one or more kinds more or less finely
ground, and contains not lees than
ten (10) per cent. protein, not leso
than two (2) per cent, of fat, and not

CURING SDED CORN,
To cure seed corn two things are
necessary -plenty of air circulating
around the ears and enough heat to
dry out the corn so that the moisture
will not be frozen and the germ part
sit the seed Injured, says a bulletin
Prepared by R, 2, Moore and 3, 3. Oar -
land, of the Whicensin College of
Agriculture.
• Now, Just a word about how wit are
going to cure this seed eorn. First,
we must be sure to give each oar air
circulation, eo that the moisture will
be carried away and the development
of moulds will be prevented. In order
to keep the ears apart several hendy
devices bavo, been used to cure corn,
A. seed corn tree is a handv arrange•
ment for curing seed corn, which any
boy can make. An upright polo of
two by four is fastened to a base.
Headless nails are driven In the pole
and the seed corn stuck on the nails.
Of course the nails are far enough
apart so- that the ears clo not touch. A.
corn tree six feet high wtll hold enough
cars to plant about fifteen acres.
Whatever kind of a rack is need for
curing the corn, you must place it
where there is free air circulation. It
won't do to try to cure seed corn thie
year by hanging it on the south side,
The only way to remove the mole-
ture is to cure the corn in some warm.
well -ventilated place. The furnace
room or the kitchen will be the best
place in which to have the curing
rack.
An attic which can be ventilated
and heated will waken good place in
which to cure the seed. If a chinmey
passes through the attic or a heated
room Is just below it Is- often warm
enough to der the seed corn. Too
much corn placed in the attic will
mean that a small stove will have to
be used to keep the room warm enough
to dry the corn. Be sure of one thing
--a small, warni, well ventilated place
Is needed for the curing process.
The seed corn is cured wheu it be-
comes firm and you can't twist an ear.
Then you can take it off the rack it
you want to and place it in a dry
