The corn stalk disease which has troubled so many farmers in the Mid dle West every fall and winter is proved to be nothing more than acute iudigestion. according to a report from the Michigan experiment station. Cattle have\ four stomachs through which the food passes In digestion. The third stomach is a loose compact of muscular tissue. The trouble in cornstalk disease, this authority claims is that the cornstalks, or other food containing little nutritive value, cause a hardening of this thinl stomach so that the food cannot pass through. Linseed oil is advised as^n eflkient treatment, followed by soft food. low Price Sale No. 260 Men’?
