The cener | failure Of the corr CROP
of 1883 to ripen fully has created what
may well be called famine in aeed-corn,
especially in the northern tier Of States.
Professor Henry, Of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College, estimates that the farm
era of that State must purchase $50, 900
bushels Of seed.corn for next springs
planting. In New York, especially in
the eastern counties, the farmers are
better off, but poor seed is u general
condition throughout the corn belt.
Some varieties are notably an excep.
ton to this rule, especially "Sibley's
Pride Of the North" which ripened in
New-England, New York, and so on
through Michigan, Wis onsin and North
ern Iowa. Messrs. Hiram Sibley e. Co.,
the Rochester and Chicago seedsmen,
claim this to be the earliest and surest
to-ripen oithe Dent varieties. In some
sections it has exceiled ever tue flint
corns of the Canadian type. NThe good
old king Philip especially the strains
from selected seed, have ripen d well
The WaushakGm.' yellow flint in Mas

Illinois. The scarcity Of good seed
corn viii prompt the offering of infe-
rior stocks, which should be
guarded against. Last year some
5O,0J0 bushels ofcorn were carried from
Nebraska and Kansas into the Missis
sippi Valley for seed, hut it proved a
failure. Seed-corn from southern sec.
tons o II the corn belt will doubtless be
offered for planting further north, but i,
unsuitable in most cases, as has been
well proven by experience, although in
good seasons it may mature a crop.
Corn-growers should adopt the naotto:
I'VE plant no corn without testing il
thoroughiy."-New York Tribune.

The business of the manufacture and
sale of beer has reached enormous pro-
portions in this country. The Brewers
Journal shows that the ale and beer
sold last year. in six states alone, amount
ed to the following: New YORK. 5,s43,-
254 barrels; PENNSYLVANIA, l,7lG 946 bar.
rels; Ohio, Loss, S52 barrels; Wisconsin,
1,29S, lS3 barrels; Illinois, l.O7l,4n3 bar.
relss and Missouri, 1922 $50 barrels
narre.s. 1t is evident that the consump-
ton of beer and ale in this country is by
no means confined to Germans and
Englishmen.

A superintendent of detectives in New
York city says of female detectives:
ave do not employ women because it
is our firm conviction that women can
not be relied on. We have tried them
and found them wonderfully qnick at

crime, patient in testing a plan for cap.

uncoDmuhicatlve. There is just one
reason, and only one reason, why they
are not to be %tr,lsted-no one can tell
who has the most influence over them.
Anyhow, we can't afford to take the risk
Of employing them and being betrayed
by them"

over climates. Stock and feed there all
the stock the farm will carry. In a
word, keep as much stock as the farm
can supply with hay and straw and
corr fodder. Make good this bulky
feed by the addition of grain, mill-feed,
hominy meal, oil-cake meal and similar
materials, as can be had at best terms.
Feeding the last-named materials in
creases the value of the rough feed, as a
larger per cent, of it is digp sted when fed
with other %raliops; the contracted f ed
also greatly improves the manure pile.
Growing animals cannot digest enough
straw in cold weather to keep up heat,
flesh and strength. There is, in such
practice a %shrinkage aud loss of flesh.
which means, in the end, loss of time
and feed. This loss may be prevented
by a small outlay for adj
ditionai feed, as has been sug-
gested. The great advantage gained by
feeding under shelter, in addition to the
easier iattening of the animals when
kept warm, and their better condit on
generally, is Che saving of all the solid
manure and urine. This last ia a very
important consideration when estilna-
ting the profits of stabling cattle. The
majority of farmers do not believe that

feed for cattle. The refuse corn, with
straw and fodder, Il little oil-meal cake
and u few no is serve every purpose and
there is no waste.
