IHE ENGLISH Harvest. Though
there is an oldproverb that drought

have had such continuous droughts of

not suffered. \ deaTtl of grass and

on our harycsts; but our wonderful
prosperity, and tue rapid develop

injury ii might intiict on the hay and

any rate given the farmers abundant
keeping for their stock. and a modern
farmeris as anxious for his loCks and

are, however, many reasons for
special rejoicing that, while the green
crops are so promising, there is no
fear for the harvest. There j. an un.

harvest has to supply the waste
of one of the most de-Olating years

during the past twelve months been
seriously diminished. Multitude:

Value OF Fodder Corn.

The department OF agriculture has
just issued statement presenting long
lipc OF testimony from various sources
on the value of fodder corn as q supple
mentary feed or soiling crop for mich
cows in summer. We present below tho
| conclusions deducted from the testimony
given: srg 10 eragEEga sia5 rH.rg5f-
/. Green cOrn-fodder Is neither worth
less nor the poorest OF all sollinS mater
ial.
,. 1t is The best when planted In drills
or hills, not so tlliekly as to prevent nor
NAL growth and development, cultivated
to destroy weeds and grasses, and cut
between tasseling and caring, when the
elements elaborated for production OF
the ear are stored in readiness for imme-
diate use. .T
3. Its probable, both from the ration
| ale of the case and from facts presented
! above, that in thcriiore northern ATTITUDES
= mistake has often been made sowing
| thlckly Southern corn which cannot
| mature, the fodder from which fed In
August must be very nearly worthless
On the contrary, the fodder from north
| crn corn, especially sweet corn, drilled
and cultivated, and fed just before caring.
is found to be very valuable. g7ar
{. Its value, compared with luoerne,
millet, the best grasses, and other plants
containing larger percentage of nutri-
ment, taking into consideration the guam
tity produced and the cost OF its produc-l
ton, has not been determined fully, and
should be decided by series ofthOrough
and exhaustive experiments. aEa v-g.
1t is evident from all that is conflict
ting in the opinion of different feeders,
that the differences are mainly due to
the degree of maturity or sounduess of
the corn. That from thick sowing, imma-
turC, cOlorlcss and watcry, is unfit to
place before the cows of any well regu-
lated dairy. 1t is probable that halt
that is fed is either improperly cultivated
or in stage OF growth not productive
OF the highest results. 1T this should he
the case, how stupid to condemn the
maize for the ignorance Of the cultivation.
lit Is found to contain too little nutri-
mCnt for its bulk, or too small amount
of the flesh forming oIomctrt, the >ug
gestioR found in the practice of some, of
giving a small amount of more highly
concentrated nutfimcnt in connection
with corn fodder, is eRiuently wise.
This is deficiency easily rcmedied.
While corn Is our national crop, less
fEstidious in the circumstances OF i.
growth than almost any other, and ca
pable of yielding so largely under the
| proycrbial neglectwhich characteriZes
| onr culture, let not this fodder be dis
| carled until something of greater prac-
| teal value is found, the superiority of

PATENT SILVER MOULD WHITE
WIRE
CLOTHES LINE +!

10 me Lodic, Of FaV,y opd Idjoh5nJ
C0WttieS:
NXTE ASK THE PRIVILEGE or SOLIC-
w ting your attention 20 our new quality
of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured in such a
manner, Of white metallic substance, that it Is
prevented from ever corTOding az changing
from its beautiful white color during any mum
Der OF years. We guarantee II to be perpetual
ly infalhblU against rust, and after you have
used 1t we are confident that you will concur
with the statements OF thousands of families
loud an iti praise who have 1t in use.
Tho following arc the advantages gained 10y
sing these Patent White Wire Clot hes Lines:
lst. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whitepess,
are forever clean and never have 10 be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them.
ID. The durability of this Wire Line is one OF
the greatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time You
viii wear out great many common lines, be
sides being obliged to put up with an immense
amount OF trouble with them.
3D.. After il is put mp and wiped off It i al
ways clean, while rope line is more or less
exposed to dust and dirt and must be washed
before It is uCd or it viii soil the clothes.
hth Ey actual experience il is found 10 be- by
lar tie cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience. This will last lifetime.
9th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
9th. Another Of the chief advantages of this
line over the rope line is that clothes Of any kind
Will not freeze to it in cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather viii freeze through and through,
and thin articles cannot be removed without
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
OF a pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enough formed to cause an adhesion
aI even the finest gauZe can be removed from
g. line without injuring il in the least.
9Th. The alkalics now being used in the pat
ent soaps ha ye-net tho least effect on The White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. 1t will save you its price in saving you
time and trouble every six months you own il.
9th 1t never viii break and drop clothes in
to the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of a whole day extra washing. This one
thing alone Is enough to condemn the old style
of lines iarcyer, and call into requsition an ar
ticle that ia free from all such provoking annoy
ances, something strong, clean and durable
Get the Patent Everlasting White Wire Line,
then you have it right.
