"A Baltimore detective was singular
" fortunate while he was out hunting for
q man who tried to wreck q freight
train recently by means of . cross-tie.
He dressed himself up as tramp, and
as he was walking around in that char
acter at night he was stopped by . gen.
uine tramp with . revolver and q de-
mand for his money. The detective
recognized in the tramp the criminal he
was looking for, and, pretending to be
scared, he replied: "Why, you don't
think I've got anything worth robbing
me Of, do you? I've been on the road
for four months. I've come all the
way from Ohio, and want to git to
New York. amt as well fixed as you,
though I'm on the same lay. I had .
revolver, but had to sell it to git grub.
The tramp agreed to temporary partner
ship, and pocketed his pistol, and the
detective, Selling his arm, presented his
pistol and handcuffed him.

when the last guest had gone his orders
came to drive to the stable.

REMOVING EvERGREENs.-The best
time, says a writer in the Prairie Farm
er, to remove evergreens is undoubtedly
in the spring, just as the terminal buds
are opening. They may be removed
safely until they have grown three
inches. The next best time is in the lat
ter part of summer, or just before the
fall rains set in. It is true, however,
theoretically that they may be safely re-
moved at any time of the year when the
ground is not frozen, and practically true
if extreme care is taken. Our opinion is
that they are removed with least loss in
the spring, as we have stated. As to
mulch, it makes really little difference
what the material is, so it will not blow
away or scatter noxious weeds.

Capt. John N. Bofnger is q steam
bcs- man and well known throughout
the South and West. Lately he has
been devoting much time to the history
of steamboats,. He has found that
steamers, and especially Western river
steamers, whose name begin with t'M''
are very unlucky. Ifthey have not been
sunk, burned or destroyed by boiler ex-
plosions, their owners have met with
financial disaster through their means.
As proof of what he AYERS to be true, he
cites innumerable Magnolias, Missouris,
Magentas, Marys, Myrtles, Massachu-
sets, Metropolises, Marigolds, Missis-
sippis, Mayfowers, Monitors, Monticel-
los, and others with initial 'tM," all of
which have come to grief.

Care of Winter Fodder.


the preservation of winter fodder in q
green state. But while this new matter
is agitated, there are doubtless some
who fail to take proper care of thejf
corn-fodder when preserved in dry
state. Cornstalks make excellent feed
when preserved in a fresh and bright
condition; but when allowed to become
weather-beaten and black they are very
inferior. No thrifty farmer cares to
have his hay spoiled by exposure; and
any person who properly appreciates
the value of cornstalks will see that they
are well harvested and stored.
Some of the causes which tend to rem
der corn fodder less valuable than it
might be otherwise are the neglect to
cut the corn when green enough, the
injury sustained by leaving it exposed
to the weather, and from feeding it in a
long or uncut state. The advantages of
cutting corn sufficiently early need only
be seen to be appreciated. When cut
sufficiently green, and stored as soon as
possible, the leaves remain almost in
tact, and of a bright, inviting color.
They are then readily eaten, and rel
ished by stock. But when the stalks are
allowed to remain until dry before cut
ting, the leaves become detached and
discolored with the weather, and they
are not relished nearly as we'll. The
value of stalks kept under shelter will
readily be seen after trial.
The use of q fodder. cutter in prepar-
ing stalks for feed, especially when they
are long and coarse, is q great advan-
tage and source of economy, and also
adds greatly to the ease of handling the
manure. Stalk-cutters are now made in
many styles, and are well suited to the
purpose, cutting fast and evenly.
The practice of husking corn while it
is standing in the field, and allowing the
stalks to remain until late before cutting,
Is one always to be deprecated when
good fodder is wanted.
When the fineness of the fodder is an
important consideration in raising
crop of corn, it is doubtless great ad-
vantage to plant variety which pro-
duces small stalks. In that case, when
small-stalked variety can be found
that will give satisfactory results in the
yield of grain, we should say it was
worthy of trial. But of course where
the grain is the main object in view, it
matters but little about the stalks.
Large stalks are decided disadvantage
in feeding, being hard to cut, and the
large, heavy butts, often one-and-a-
quarter inches in diameter ON rice
lands, are of but little use as food.
The eminent DR.. Nichols, of New
England, once said that one bushel of
New England corn on the ear, ground,
is equivalent in nutritive value to one
bushel of shelled Western corn, ground.
This would seem to be an argument in
favor of the production of the New
England corn, if it would in all cases
yield as well as the coarse growing vari-
cites. But the fact that nearly or quite
all the large corn-producing sections
grow the latter varieties would seem to
prove that they are, on the whole, the
most desirable and profitable Cor. ES.
