IT Is said that Jesse James once
thought seriously of "going through
college," The outlaw -'went through"
nearly everything else. and the reason
he didn't ''go through" college must
have been because he couldn't see any
money in it,

HUMOROUS.

Bound to make something: General
Grant used to tell story of blacksmith
who started out to make ''clevis" out
of piece of Iron. Grant continued
that the blacksmith hammered away till
he discovered he didn't know how to
make the instrument named. He then
said: "I'll make horshoe." He failed.
'Then I'll make horseshoe nail. J"
He failed again. Then in his wrath,
plunging the red-hot shapeless mass OF
iron into the blacksmith's water bucket,
he exclaimed; "I1l make d-n big
fizz of you, anyhow.
A LONG stay: Colonel Percy Yerger
was complaining eonfidentially to Hos
t. tier McGinnis of the frequency with
which his mother-in-law paid him visits
that she came to see him four or five
times a year. MY wife's mother" re-
sponded McGinnis, "has visited me only
once in the last five or six years. The
last time she came to see me was when
L was first married, five years ago."
Lucky mani When is she going to
visit you againe" "How can tell? She
has not got through with her first visit
yet-but 1 can't see where the luck
comes In.

AGRICULTURE,

The VALUE OF OATs.-The better farm
economy ard the feeding value OF crops
are understood the more oats will be ap-
precIated and the larger will be their COR
sumption upon the farm. The CLAIM is
frequently made that they s.e not prohta-
bic as compared with corn. and hence,
though possessing merit, they must always
take a secondary place. Let us compare
the cost Of producing an acre of oats and
their value with corr, IL is estimated thai
81 will cover the cost of plrughIng, SOW
ing, harvesting and stacking an acre of
oats including seed. The straw, if val
ued BY the amount of proteine and fat 1t
contains, is worth by the pound more tLan
one-half good meadow hay. OF one-third
that of corn. When corn is worth 25 cts.
per bushel, oat straw is worth IS per ton;
or il the product per acre Of oat straw be
one ton, Its equivalent in corn is II bush-
els. The feeding value of oats by the
pound is determined by the proteine about
90 per cent. above corn; this places the
value OF q bushel Of oats at about two thirds
that of bushel of corn. II crop Of corn
be thlrty-sIx bushels per acre. it will re
quIre the oat field 70 produce one ton of
straw and thirty-siX bushels 10 make an
equivalent in feeding value. If the pro-
duct of corn be sixty bushels per acre, II
will require one ton of straw and seventy
two bushels OF oats o. an acre TO make Its
feeding equivalent These are, however,
SIMPLY theoretical values, measured by
proteine; practically, the oats and straw
are worth more than the corn, because
they will be better masticated, and they
furnish more bulk. Again, there is diff
ference in the cost of production in favor
of the oats amounting TO nearly So per
acre, if the oats be fed in the shesf; so that
upon an average if the number OF bushels
of corn and oats IN two fields be the same,
the greater profit for feeding to cattle is in
the oats. This supposes the eats 10 be
cut early and fed IN the sheat; and it
makes no allowance for The cornstalks, for
which the oat-fel1 makes full cOmpensa-
tion by allowing the farmer to plough In a
crop OF rye for full pasture.

The GAPE WoRM.-Atter a careful in
vestigstion IN scientific works on kindred
species Of internal parasites, | have come
TO the conclusion that the natural history
Of the cape worm IS as follows: That in
the sprlng of the year the young poultry,
In their search Tor insectivorOus food
amongst decayed vegetable matter, swal-
low the eggs of very small worms, which
in about four or six weeks attain their full
size and produce :heir fatal effects. | have
years ago several times examined them
under compound microscope as taken
from out the windpIpes of poultry that had
Just died from this cause. They were al
ways found clustered together, generally
be veen five and eighteen in number, of q
reddish color, chiefly over half an inch IN
length: few cases of twice this size, cy-
lindrical in form, and, what is curious, In
all l thus examined were forked or divided
at one end, having the appearance of pos
sessing two heads on long necks, one of
which is supposed to be especially used to
fasten itself the more securely TO its place
of Judgement, as may be well known to
those who have endeavored to detach them
by means of feathers, thread or horse hairs.
They were found to be chiefly females
Ohe males being considerably smaller )illed
with eggs, and from having arrived at their
growth, now desire TO emerge to enter more
particularly into rich. moist ground, to
make their deposits TO reappear the follow
ing sprIrg. No doubt if these worms be
merely killed and thrown on the ground
the mature eggs will probably remain IN
injured, and when decomposition sets in
the young embryos will sooner or later es-
cape from the shell. migrate INTO the soil
or some congenlal matter, and ultimately
tind their way again into the ar passages
OF young poultry and other birds
WHAT WAS RAISED On AN ACRE.-A far
mer living in Maize makes statement of
what he had raised last year on an acre OF
land-almost enough, we should think, to
support family. He planted one-third
Of his acre in corn, and he usually produc-
ed thirty bushels OF good corn. This quan-
tIty was sufficient for his family use and
for fattening two or three large hogs. From
the same ground on which the corn stood
he raised two or three hundred pumpkins
and an ample supply of beans. From a
bed OF six yards square he usually obtained
sixty bushels of onions; these he sold for
81 bushel, which amount purchased his
flour for one year. Thus from one-third
of an acre and an onion bed he obtained
his breadstufTs and two OF three hundrei
pounds of PORK. The remainder of the
ground was appropriated 10 all kinds OF
vegetables for both summer and winter
Use. He also ha1 flower garden, rasp-
berries, currants, goo>eberries iu grea'
abundance, and also few choice apple,
p ar, peach and q IHce trees.
