Stacking Corn Fodder.

A writerin the Practical Farmer saws:
" have practiced stacking fodder for
twenty years-never had any spoil, and
after trying various ways, think it de-
cidedly preferable to all other modes,
because, first, none but the butts. the
worthless portion, are exposed to the
bleaching rains of winter; and second.
because larger quantity can be placed
close by the feeding place than by any
other way. | put usually fifty shocks
of one hundred hills each in stack.
A few sticks are placed on the ground
to raise the center of the stack. The
center must be raised up sufficient to
shed rain from the butts throughout the
stack. The stack must be made of such
diameter only as to allow the tops of
bundles to lap, and thus keep, up the
center, single row of bundles only
forming the circle. The finishing of
the stack should be in form similar to
an ordinary one hundred hill shock. and
be well tied with a band. I feed only
four head Of cattle from such a stack,
and never had any damage by rain; only
one course appears to get damp, and
the cattle prefer it in that condition.
III snow storm occurs, or a sleet storm.
or very heavy rain, [ Immediately re-
move one entire course, and set on end
all not fed. | feed in the ordinary box
manager, always in the stable being par
ticular to have the butts or bundles
placed in the bottom Of the manger.
None is ever wasted-not even husk.
The st ks re naming are thrown under
the cows, and make good bedding, al
ways keeping them clean"

Draft Horses.

The way of testing draft horses is an
other practice we object to at our fairs.
1t is not the heavy load at the end of a
log, on a stone boat, or to a wagon with
all the wheels locked that can be moved
the farthest, that is true test of a
draft horse. This way of testing is dan
gerous and unsatisfactory We know of
noble and highspirted mare which
was totally ruined on fair ground by
this way of trial. In the excitement
and confusion, being put to this unusual
and unnatural test, she baked, probably
the first time in her life. But it was
the fatal lesson She was ever after
ward balky animal. No man who has
any regard for his horse or the safety of
his property, should submit to such a
test.
The best way to try draft horses
would be to hitch them to a riding stir
ring pillow, and lay off a half acre, or 90
a certain number Of times round ten
acre field with the pillow set to six, eight
or ten inches deep. With this trial any
committee could decide on the strength,
quality and endurance Of draft horses.
And this is one of the most important
works they are intended for There is
no danger of injury to the horses, nor
are the horses judged by their power in
a jerk or a spasm of exertion.
At our fairs everything should be
regulated by reason and practical sense
All competitions are for useful pur-
poses, and officers and committees
should strive to have the tests applied
in practical way.

Hints.

How do you know a good farmer? 1t
is by well-ordered farm, well-chosen
stock, comfortable buildings, neat and
thrifty garden, well-rounded roadway,
gates well hung, fences in good repair,
shade trees and ornamental shrubbery
well arranged, buildings painted without
and whitewashed within, tools and i'm
plements painted and protected, and all
the family cheerful.
AS the seasons for colds and sore
threats is at hand we give popular
cure We do not recommend it as in
fallible: a few spoonfuls of vinegar
with enough water to make it weak
enough to be swallowed, adding ''bit"
of alum, ''pinch" of salt, and dust"
of pepper The ingredients are always
at hand it is easily mixed. palatable,
safe and simple, and will usually prove
all that is needed in sore throat from
cold
Let the farmer become better farm
er by reading, by observation, by asso-
citation with farmers who know more
than he does. Let the physician become
a better doctor by having big library
on his shelves, and bigger one in his
brain. Let the carpenter be better
mechanic and showing his jack plane, at
the same time consider the grand prin-
ciples on which his art is founded, and
from the farmer let him become the de-
signer, the architect, and let him build
his own monument in structure that
will endure long after all less noble
things shall have persisted -,Spofo,u.
A writer in the Southern Farmer says
that his COW gives all the milk that is
wanted in a family of eight, and that
from it, after taking all that is required
for other purposes, 26O pounds of but
ter were made this year. This is in
part his treatment of the COW:
If you desire to get large yield of
rich milk, give your COW every day water
slightly sailed, in which bran has been
stirred at the rate of one quart to two
gallons of water. You will find, if you
have not tried this daily practice, that
your COW will give twenty-five per cent.
more milk Immediately under the effect
of it, and she will become so attached
to the diet as to refuse to drink clear
water unless very thirsty But this
mess she will drink almost any time,
and ask for more. The amount of this
drink necessary is an ordinary water
pailful at a time, morning, noon and
night
