Saving COrn-FOdder.

A TON of well-saved corn-fodder is
worth, if well used, the price of ton of
hay; yet how rarely is it. well saved or
we'll SPENT Exposed, after husking, to
all the storms of October, it is tardily
stacked or housed in November, and
musty~ and mildewed, washed and
weather beaten, it is not only the poorest
fodder, but absolutely injurious to
stock, to which it is thrown in the rough
est and most careless way, in the barn
yard. Then it is trampled down in the
snow and mire, and next spring is cursed
as the greatest nuisance farmer has to
contend with. But let corn-stalks be
shocked UP carefully, spread we'll at the
butt of the shock, and tied closely at the
top until the corn is husked, and then put
up in convenient bundles, and again
set up SO that the rain cannot penetrate
the shocks, and as soon as cured be care
fully stacked or put away beneath a
tight roof, and it becomes agree
able-looking, sweet-smelling, nutritious
fodder, which will be readily eaten by all
sorts of stock. If it is cut up with any
one of the various fodder-cutters into
short lengths, or even chopped up with
an ak on the barn-Aoor, wetted and
sprinkled with little salt and handful
of bran, it will be entirely consumed;
and the manure pile in the spring will be
altogether freed from the Objectionable,
unrotted, and tangled stalks, while it will
be equally enriched by their fertilizing
remains. In this way the supply of feed
will be economical, often leaving hay to
spare for sale or permitting the number
of feeding stock to be doubled, and be-
sides what is often source of trouble
and annoyance may be turned to good
account and money made by it.-Anoer5-

Sleep on Your Cares,

MEN of business, believe me, there is
now and then a. profitable venture in do
ing nothing at all. In the power to put
business aside, and abiding now and then
in perfect quiet, things sometimes solve
themselves, when we give them that ad-
vantage, which refuse to come clear for
all our trying. We all know how, by
simply taking some 'perplexity into the
deepest silence this side of death-a good
nights sleep-we can do better some
times than if we sat up and wrong ht at
our task all night. When Matthew Muir
ray, of Leeds, wanted to see his way
through some sore perplexity in his in
ventlons, and all other effort was of no
use, he rested day and night from all
noise, and all effort save the effort an &C
tive man has to keep himself quiet; and
then the thing he wanted would steal in
and look at him, and light on him. and
stay, as birds used to light on the old
hermits, no more afraid of them than of
the trees under which they sat. And
mothers, you may care and toll incessant-
ly for your little ones, never resting a
moment in your devotion, and then, be-
cause you never do quit, but enter into
your very closet with little frock to
mend, you shall never be quite able to
take the whole sunlight and sum of your
motherhood into your heart. You will
be so full of care about the bread that
perishes as to miss the bread that cometh
down from heaven. No person in the
world needs so much, now and, then, to
be still, and open her soul only to the
silence as an earnest, energetic, whole
hearted mother. This eternal activity is
almost sure to run at last in shadows

carpets being not always at hand, old bale
cloth being too loose and open, and new
cloth too expensive, strips of old paper
flour answered we'll and this year
we are trying strong roofing paper, which
is cheap and promises to answer the pur-
pose very well We are also trying tarred,
felt and oiled paper, which, if not repul-
sive to the worms, will be about as cheap
and more durable, answering for several
years. Fifteen thousand apples must
have been required in 1870 to breed the
worms we killed under the bands, as 1t is
seldom that more than one worm is found
in an apple, and allowing 300 to bushel,
gives fifty bushels damaged or entirely
ruined by these worms and if we only
captured one-half the worms in the or
chard, the loss is increased to 100 bushels.
Supposlng one-half the worms destroyed
to have been females, and one-half OF
these to have been of the first brood,
they would have deposited in the
late apples 100000 eggs, thus dam
aging 2,750 bushels of the autumn
and winter apples Now suppose these
eggs to have produced as many worms,
and all to have passed the winter safely,
they would, in the spring of 1871, have
aggregated, with the 2, 500 of the late
brood destroyed under the bands, 757, 800
moths but large proportion of the late
brood are destroyed in cider-making and
other uses the apple is put to, and their
number is also greatly lessened by birds,
and often, perhaps, by the vicissitudes
and inclemency of winter. t>tt
Ii small crop of apples on 10000 trees
be estimated at one bushel per tree, or
8, 100000 of apples. it would require 15,-
600 female moths to deposit an egg in
each one; of course, larger crop of ten
bushels per tree would require 10000
moths, but as, in our experience up to
this time, they have never infested the en-
tire crop, and as no more moths can exist
in the Spring than were bred in the pre-
vious crop, and have safely passed the
Winter, it is evident that the larger crop
would have more than nine times more
sound apples than the whole amount of
the smaller crop.
If the large orchardist put into con-
slant practice a system of wholesale de-
struction, like the bands we use, it would
seem that the moths coming from the
small orchards in his vicinity could not
cause him very great injury but woe to
the owner of fifty trees in the immediate
vicinity of the mammoth plantation, if
the latter is persistently neglected.

An Editor OF TWO Papers.

AN antiquated writer in the Memphis
Appeal has dug up out ofhis memory the
following rich story. The young lawyer
referred to is still f1ourishing in Mem
phis: 'fThere was never greater local
excitement.than that which grew out Of
this Internal navy-yard business. Half
the people were in favor of accepting the
property, and half or more opposed to it,
the latter, thinking that the Government
might be induced even yet TO make lib
eral appropriations and perfect the navy
yard and build ships and steamers here
There were two newspapers published
here-onea morning publication, edited
by a gentleman of no ordinary ability
named Bankhead, who was tragically and
mysteriously assassinated some six years
age. There was another, an afternoon
paper, called the NeaCS Il believe that was
its name), edited by man named Yancey.
These editors opposed one another on
the .navy-yard question, and their dis
cussion, had begotten good deal of ex-
element, when both went away for the
summer, and each, without the others
knowledge, employed the same man, this
young lawyer, to conduct his paper in
his absence. The young limb of the law
naturally enough took to both sides of
the question. He made the controversy
between the two papers hotter and

Wolf-Teeth.

In reply to numerous inquiries as to
whether "wolf-teeth" in horses cause
blindness, we explain this question some
what fully, that our correspondents may
see the matter in its true light At the
age of five years every horse has or has
had what are called wolf-teeth. They are
pointed teeth, situated at the sides of the
jaws toward the front. These teeth are
naturally shed soon after their appear
ance in most cases, but sometimes remain
during heightened period, and as they
are followed by other teeth, it sometimes
occurs that an interference is occasioned
when they do not fall out, and they are
crowded in the gums and cause irritation.
In cases when from cold or neglect the
eyes of the horse are injuriously affected
and at the same time there is trouble with
these teeth, it is very probable that the
irritation may. ssympathetically increase
the trouble with the eyes. But it is alto
gether an indirect effect, and if the eyes
are properly cared for, the teeth would
never affect them. When the interference
is noticed, the wolf-teeth should be dr0aOn,
not knocked out; when there is no inter
terence, they may stay in their place,
without inconvenience, until they drop
out-Anoe1Sc0p AgrSculturGst.

Some Feats in Walking.

THERE is something very striking in the
reaction against steam locomotion which
has set in simultaneously with the rise in
the price of coal. Not only have the old
four-horse coaches reappeared on the
roads in the neighborhood of London, not
only has an attempt been made to swim
across the channel, but Scotch minister
has just set the example of walking from
Edinburgh to London. On Monday fore
noon, says the London correspondent of
the Dundee AdUertiSer, the Rev. Mr.. jamie
son, of st. Matthew'S, Glasgow, arrived
at Cbaring Gross in excellent condition,
after footing every inch of the space
that lies between the metropolis of Eng
land and the Register Office, Edinburgh. T"
The time spent on the road was eighteen
days and forenoon; and Mr. Jameson
never started until after breakfast nor
walked in the heat of the day. His route
was the old coach road between the two
capitals, passing through Carlisle, Greta
Bridge, Doncaster, Newark, Huntingdon,
ETC., and his luggage was a knapsack
weighing twenty-six pounds, which he
carried on his shoulders, Mr.. Jameson de-
serves credit for starting this new idea
of a holiday expedition, and perhaps the
old road to Scotland will before long be
thronged with pedestrians walking, not
like Mr.. Jameson, with stately step
and slow, but hurrying between the cap
itals as fast as their legs can carry them.
Phillipides, who was sent from Athens
to Sparta, is stated to have run one hun
dred and fifty Roman miles in two days.
In October, 1911, Mr.. Rivington, farmer
near Dorchester, walked five hundred and
sixty miles in seven days; and a still
more remarkable feat was performed by
Mr. Granville, anative of Shropshire, who
in 1906 walked one hundred and twenty
two miles ON the Bath road in twenty
nine hours and three quarters. Pal Nail

The Cooling Meth-CIoth Bands.

MORE than thirty years ago, three town
lots here were planted to apple, pear and
plum trees. lIost of them were large
trees, and soon commenced bearing, and
for a few years no signs of the codline
moth were seen, but after their first APP
pearance, not more than three or foul
wears had elapsed before not an apple OF
a pear could be found that was not worm
eaten.
Speculatively we queried whether
every apple in the large orchard we were
then planting would, in the future, be
come infested with this destructive ap-
ple-worm, as in the garden. Practically
we are now able to say that up to this
time, though in some seasons it's depreda-
tions have been fearfully prevalent, di-
minishing the value of the crop very
greatly, still we have always had a por-
ton of the crop fair and unblemished.
On this fact we base our hopes, and mus
ter courage to attack this enemy for if
there are not moths enough to deposit an
egg in every apple, then every female
moth destroyed will add 200 apples to
the whole number Of sound ones, assum-
ing that each moth lays 200 eggs.
In 1868 we hit upon the use of our mar
row cloth band Zone or two inches wide,
nailed to the. tree at one end with an
eight ounce tack, the other end being
brought around the tree and hitched
upon the nail, so as to be easily unhitched
and examined at intervals of ten days, or
two weeks, the worms being destroyed
with knife as they appear in opening
the band, which was applied TO only a
part OF our trees, but with encouraging
results. The summer of 1869 had so
many rainy days that work fell behind,
so that we were unable TO scrape the
scales of old bark from our trees and put
on the bands. In 1870 we put them upon
most of the trees bearing fruit about the
middle of June, and as we have before
stated, destroyed about 5000 worms and
pupa. We think it was in the autumn of
this year that we saw the first notice in
print of the use of cloth bands-being,
as described, five to ten inches wide and
two or three times around the tree, fast
ened with string-worms to be killed by
taking off the bandages and immersing IN
hot water, or putting them through a
clothes wringer. In 1871 we effected a
like wholesale slaughter with the general
application of the narrow bands, expert
menting with different materials. Old

hotter on each successive day. Crowds
gathered each afternoon about the NeDs
office, and somebody expected that the
two furious editors would shed blood.
The coming duel in Arkansas was conf
IDENTIFY anticipated, and the ferocity of the
two papers was marvellous. Popular ex-
element was intense when Bankhead
came hurrying home from Virginia, and
Yancey from Alabama, each thinking
that the other was about to murder his
own substitute. Such was the fervor of
popular feeling and evaporation that the
story was necessarily kept quiet. If the
mischievous fraud upon the public pas
sion had been exposed at the time, the
con GrRore editor would have been hanged
to lamp post"

A Hint for BOres.

SOME time ago there lived a gentleman
of indolent habits in Sussex, who made
business, in the winter season, of visit
ing his friends extensively. After wear
ing out his welcome in his own immedi-
ate vicinity last winter, he thought he
would visit an old Quaker friend, some
twenty miles distant, who had been a
school fellow of his. On hia arrival he
was cordially received by the Quaker, he
thinking his visitor had taken much pains
to come so far to see him. He treated his
friend with great attention and politeness
for several days, and, as he did not see
any signs of his leaving, he became I'M
easy, but he bore it with patience till the
morning of the eighth day, when he said
to him:
s'My friend, am afraid thee viii never
visit me again"
sob, yes, l shall,' said the visitor; 81
have enjoyed my visit very much; shall
certainly come again.
May said the Quaker, 81 think thee
will not visit me again.
"What makes you think will not
come again?" asked the visitor

Quaker chow os.ns't thee come again?''
His visitor left.
