A New Way to Fix Fodder.

The Bellefonte Republican gives this
item of interest to the farmer: "Mr.
John l. Thompson, of Martha, has a
way of preparing his corn fodder that to
us is quite new. He uses one of the old
fashioned little Shaker threshers by
taking out the teeth from the front con-
cave and in their place inserting knives
(made from old scythe blades,) then
feeds in the stalks. The result is that
the fodder is cut up fine and may be
more conveniently stored, the cattle eat
more of it and waste less, and it makes
excellent manure, being rolled easily
and is free from the stringy stalks so OBJ
jectionable in corn fodder compost.
Mr.. Thompson says this is the only sat-
isfactory fodder cutter he has ever tried.
IT. is entirely his own idea, but as he
has not patented the machine we give
those who may profit by it the benefit
of this description.

ALUM IN BREAD.


A nuisance that troubled Europe fifty
years ago now attracts attention here,
that is, putting alum In the bread we
eat. The bread must be light that IL
may be ligested, that is, 1t must be filled
by the well. known cells we are accus-
toned to see In 1t. Where beer or ale Is
brewed those who understand healthy
breadmaking procure yeast, which
''lightens" the bread better than any
substitute, and is wholesome. Where
yeast is not readily to be obtained baking
powders are resorted to, and out of them
and cream of tartar, or tartaric acid, are
the usual constituents of good baking
powder. Cream of tartar sells at from
sixty to eighty-five cents pound. This
high price has led cheap baking powders
to be made of alum, as a substitute for
some or all of the cream of tartar. Alum
will make bread look whittier, so that
bakers m AXE an inferior -four salable as
as bread by its use; and they use it, in
some places calling IL "rock, - so that no
inadvertent expressions may let outsiders
know that alum is used. Alum Is an
injurious article to the human constitu-
ton in large quantities, or in small
quantities often repeated. 1t is the
small quantities taken every meal in
bread that do the mischief Alum is
cheap = ten cents pound-to the
pocket, but it takes what is saved out of
the stomach, and then takes it with
fearful interest. Alum Is an astringent,
and is used by dyers and other as such.
Taken frequently on the stomach 1t pro-
duces heartburn, indigestion, gripping,
constipation, dyspepsia and kindred
troubles resulting from irritation of the
mucus membrane, produced by the
stringent properties of alum. All these
nice things to be inflicted by the bread
eaten morning, noon, evening TO young
children, growing girls, persons of light
frame and sedentary occupations, this
alum bread is poison most especially. If
the reader wants to know something of
alum let him suck lump of it, notice
its effects upon the mouth, which is
something like that of an unripe persim-
mon then let him reflect how it acts
upon the tender, delicate coat of the
stomach. DR.. Henry A. Mott, the cele-
brated analytical chemist, analyzed
twenty three of the baking powders
most in use, and found alum in all but
one. 1t is time we took measures to
stop the bread poisoning that kills our
little ones and perpetuates dyspepsia and
cholera

E3S7a aDE Fuel,
A correspondent at Worthington

| A correspondent at Worthington
writing to the Pioneer Press, under
| aate Of December 18th says:
The fuel problem is one of great i'm
portance at the present time, ard is
destined to attract attention until it
is solved in practical manner. The
| use of wood for fuel will soon absorb
| the available supply Of that article,
and people will have to provide some
substitute. In the prairie regions hay
! is used to some extent, but as the
country settles up, that must eventu-
| ally prove insufficient in quantity to
supply the ever increasing demand,
therefore cOntrivanceS to prepare it
for fuel are but a waste of time that
had better be directed to procuring
some other substitute.
Such a substitute may be found in
corn. This is no new theory, but al
old fact that has been repeatedly PROV
ed from actual experience. Corn has
been used on some Of the locomotives
of the St. Paul Il Sioux City railroad,
! but whether it is in economical sub
stitnte for coal us u fuel for steam en-
gines am not prepared to say. But
as fuel for stoves it is superior to any
| other substance, hard coal alone ex-
| cepted. and is cheaper than anything
that is likely to be used as fuel.
| Two + three acres of corn will sup
| ply an ordinary family with a year $
supply of fuel. The same corn sold
in the market and the proceeds turned
into either wood or coal, will not be-
| gin to do it. Corn is also much clean
er and nicer to use in every way than
either coal or hay, and requires no
| preparation to enable it to be used.
The stalks and roots may be burnt
with The ears it. desirable. 1t may be
| used in either wood or coal stove,
without any change of CRATES. 1t
! makes steady, hot fire which can
be
REGULATED AS READILY AS COAL.
Two bushels OF corn in the ear will
keep comfortable fire the coolest day
inVinter. Hard wood at this station
is So a cord. The same amount of
money invested in corn at Is cents (,
bushel, the market price here, will last
longer than the cord of wood, not
counting the cost Of hauling the corn
to the market and hauling the wood
home; and furthermore, the present
winter person can not always get
wood when wanted, sometimes having
to maketWo or three Journeys for it.
The only objection to the use of
com us fuel is a sentimental squeam-
ishness about burning an article that
is used for food, and if newspapers
will take the subject in hand. that may
be overcome III time. l would rather
burn an acre of corn that can be re-
placed in a single year, than to burn
an acre of timber that takes years to
replace, even on the score Of sentiment.
