nests Of wild bees. When wild bees

c:ra a.! Cob Neal.

Corn on the cob ground is regarded by
I a correspondent OF the New England
Farmer as worth as much, "bushel for
bushel" for feeding TO cows giving milk
as the westers corn meal. lie has
made several experiments, substituting
one for the other, in his dairy of which
he sells the milk, and has been unable
to perceive any marked difference in
the amount OF milk produced by chang
ing the feed. 1t Is presumed that the
"bushel for bushel' means weight and
not measure. Even then this statement
will be regarded with strong distrust
BY many OF our farmers. OF course the
sctual nutritive value of the corn and
cob meal could not be so great as that
of the pnre meal. The mixture of the
ground COB might be an advantage in
maxim the meal lie lighter in the stom
ach and be more easily permea,cd bv
the digestive juices. The cobs do poss-
ess considerable nutritive value A. will
be seen bv noting their compo siiiou,
consisting of l-2 per cent. Of albumin
oids and - per cent. OF fat-torming ele-
ments. While corn itself contains 10 per
cent. of albnminoids of fleih-forrning
substances aud IS per cent. Of fat-iorm-
ing substances. 1t is thus seen that the
total fat and flesh-iorming element Of
the cob are 40 l-2 per cent. while those
Of the grain are SIS per cent. The value
of the cobs is probably not far from
that of good English hay, pound for
pound. The hay contains more flesh
forming and less fat forming substances
than The cob does. Whether 1t is worth
while for the Srmer TO have the cob
ground with the grain eau be determ-
lned by extended experiments .--Leiris-

CHEAP CAFES As A SUBSTITUTE FoR
B,Rs.-A writer in the Rurd! Home
says: II have just made gates to re-
place some Of the old-fashioned pair OF
bars that | am heartily tired OF open ing
and shutting. They are cheap durable
and very easily made. Each gate is
twelve feet in le myth by four in height.
Five boards four inches wide are used
besides batien and braces. Battens
should be placed on both sides, Dsk.
ing three thicknessss to nail through
II does not take more than thirty-six
feet of boards, worth perhaps sixty
cents, TO make each gate. Add to that
ten cents for nails, and the value of one
hour OF your time. and you have the
whole expense. A gate of this kind
will out last framed one costing 81,
and Is no hinges are used, that expense
is saved also. It is held in position bv
means of stake driven in the ground
four or five inches from the post; not in
straight line, but little more than
the thickness of the gate toward the
drive way, so when opened the gate can
can be. turned half way around and be
parallel with the drive way. Ii is kept
few inches from the ground by strip,
nailed to both stake and post. on which
one end rests when shut, and on which
it slides half its lengM and then swinges
round as on a pivot when opened. The
strip is usually placed under tho sec
ond board, in space arranged for it,
by cutting away two of the batteus.
This strip takes the place of hinges.
A gate Of this kind can be made in
much less time and at as little expense
as pair Of bars, and is certainly much
more convenient"

-EGGs FOR WINTER UsE.-It is q
foolish plan to be seeking the best meth.
od for "putting down eggs" This used
to be deemed one of the first tests ol
thrifty housekeeping-the number oil
eggs put down for winter use. But q
much better way is TO have your eggs
fresh the year round. If hens have
enough to eat, and of the right material,
they will lay in winter as we'll as in
summer. Farmers always expect to
feed some grain to the fowls; then II
they would all Of the waste meat
that accumulates il the fall to feed the
hens in the winter, they would be repaid
in fresh eggs.

Especial TO the 81. Louis Republican,
AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lG.-The Joint COM
mittee on counting the electoral vote has
arrived at an agreement, and
there is the lveliest excitement here to-
night to get some Of the points Of the
plan. Your correspondent is enabled,
by the fact that tO-mOrrow's Republican
will not arrive here tor two days yet, to
give full abstract OF the plan and exact
state OF affairs in the committee. The
bill ignores the question of the vice-pres-
dents rights, and by the nature Of it as
sumes that that official cannot count and
declare the votes.
THE FIRST SECTION
OF the bill is about the same as the first
section of MOrtons bill of last winter,
and lie, in substance, as follows:
This section provides for the assembling
| OF the convention on the second Wednes-
| day OF February. One teller shall be APP
pointed by the senate and two by the
house, TO whom are to be handed the GER
tificates as they are opened. The tellers
read and make list of these votes in the
presence of the two houses. This hay-
| ing been done, the result is handed to
the president, who declares the result. If,
upon reading the votes, any objection i:
raised, where there are two sets of re-
turns, these returns are referred to the
board of arbitratOrs where objection ID
made, and ii there is only one return tn,
houses separate aud decide as heretofore
| THE SECOND ARTICLE
Provides for board OF arbitration com
posed Of five members OF the senate, fiy,
members Of the house and five member
of the supreme bench longest in service
The idea Of dropping any one of thes
by lot has been discarded, because it wa
exceedingly distasteful to many OF til,
committee. To this board all case
where there two sets of returns are to b
referred. The report Of this board @
arbitration will not be final, but il canno
be rejected except by the concurrent &C
ton OF the two houses. In the meeting
OF this board the senior: justice is to pre-
side, the duty thus devolying..upon Jus
tice Clifford.
THE ONLY QUESTION REMAINING
To be agreed upon is the number of jus
tees, as OF the five, Clifford. Davis an
Fields are Democrats, while Swayne an
Miller are Republicans. BY making tn
number six, Strong, a Republican woul
be added. There is the barest possibl
ity that this one point may defeat til
bill. This board of arbitration Is to tax
testimony the same as q congressiona
committee, but as all the testimony this
would be needed is now in, no tim
would be wasted. Tonight Is of tn
joint committee have agreed upon thi
bil!. The only stickler is Morton, but h
