gia. Destruction and desolation mark
ed its course everywhere. In seyera
instances, towns were completely des
troyed, and many lives lost. At Yves

rible. In the latter town 81 dwellings
u stores, 2 churches, school house, 8
masonic hall and several cabins were
levelled with the ground and splintered
There were several people killed out
right. The list of the dead and wound
ed to date is IS killed, rs seriously in
jured, and 1875 injured. The storm at
Wesson was not SO destructive, confn-
ing itself to the district where the Mis-
sissippi Mills are located. These houses
We're completely destroyed, and several
of the inmates were injured and some
killed. The reports vary as to the
number of killed. One report gives
twenty EIGHT killed at BeauEegard, and
fifteen at Wesson. Appeals for aid
have been made. Relief committees
were organized along the jackson road,
and assisted materially towards the
comfort Of the sufferers.

How late in the Season Should Farm ers
Feed Cob Meal

Perhaps this question worries millers more
than ii does farmers, yet il is also an import
ant one to the latter.
There is a time in HE fall and early winter
when cob-mcal can be used iudiciously. II
is bulky feed and makes II suitable change
from grass 10 dry feed. 1t is not so heating
a feed for the warm days of fall. The colIs
are soft and sweet, and contain available
sugar that is readily dissolved and appropriate
ed by the animal. Corn does not keep well
shelled this early in the season and is often
hard TO shell, and the cobs can be ground AT
this time into quite passable meal. The cohs
subdiylde the meal 50 That it is more available
to the dissolving juices of the stomach, and
and the whole mass is better digcstcd than
the clear meal would be. This covers the
argument in favor of cob-meal.
On the other hand, when the corn dries
and the cob becomes hard, its sugar is chang
ed to woody tbre-losing its value as food,
and the silicious scales ofthe COB are not only
impossible to grind, but are indigestibe and
irritating to the animals stomach The cobs
are now poor food but good fuel. They make
a quick hot fire and good ashes. 1t is foolish
to pay for grinding two and a half bushels of
corn per hundred for grinding cob after the
last OF February. 1t is money thrown away.
| am always tempted to think that the farmer
who hauls eo!s to the mill after that time
is too lazy to shell it. 1t is true it is often
injUdiCious 10 feed clear meal to cows, cspc.
cially rs when eaten it inclinCs TO form into
doughty Jumps, very impenetrable to the gas
trio acid but instead of trying 10 avoid this
trouble by grinding unnulri,ious cobs with
it, we should mix it with something valua-
hlc IN itself, as cut hay chatf or bran 1t is
good plan to grind portion of coarse bran
with the corn, which makes n light palatable

For Me A'giS and Intelligence
TO A BLUE BIRD,


Wee blue-winged Prophet of the spring,
On leatiess tree -boughs balancing,
The ground is hard with frost;
me blades of grass that wave are sere
Ghosts of the tufts that filled the year
Of summer brightness lost;
Yet gay with blithesome joy you bring
Your tender songs that breathe of spring.
The sweetest tint of summer skies,
me lovely blue of maiden eyes,
Have likeness on thy wing;
l,i ke sunset hues that paint the West
Are bright to gladdenng:
The crisp bell-clearness of the air
Gives forthyour song in echoes fair.
Brave, generous bird, we welcome thee
After grim winters rigidity,
His reign is almost DER;
But where you swing in Joy acrost
The ground is black and bare with frost,
Yet your sweet measures pour:
The sunbeams shine or hide in shade
But glide your tones gay, undsmayed
How can you sing when earth is bare,
So shorn of all her beauty rare
And winds are cold and drear?
The flowers deep in darksomo beds.
Lift not from slumber's spell their heads,
The days are void of cheer
Yet still your sivery voice is heard
How can you sing, you dainty bird
smooth all your brilliant plumago down,
SO bright beside the trees rough brown
And swing in careless glee;
The rain that falls in drizzling jets
Will bring the grass and violcs
Quickly to earth and thee
The naked boughs will bud and bring
Gay blossoms to the blessed spring
Thus, thus you seem to answering sing,
H0il charming prophet of the spring.
Oh may your cheerful lay
Teach us with happy hearts to hold
Some joy-ti warm through cares sad cold
Waiting for promised day;
May we like thee through shadows sing
And prophesy of Gods sure spring.
