Saving Corn Fodder.

When well saved, cornstlaks are as
good fodder as common hay, If corn fod-
der is carelessly left until it is frozen one
half the value of the stalks is lost.
When one works farm for profit he
cannot afford to waste anything; he
must preserve, not only the crops them
selves, but he must save them in such
q way as to preserve all their value. A
lot of cornstalks, first frozen and then
nodded by neglect, might as we'll have
been thrown into the manure yard ut
first. After cutting up the crop in
good season the next care is to secure
the shocks. This is best done by stack
ing the stalks about one hill left uncut,
which gives great support to the shock
against storms. II the shock is well
made it is better to have il somewhat
large; our own practice beingto take for
ty nine hills or seven each way, and stack
ing around the center one. The butts
are spread considerably at first to get
a good basis and to give access to the
air; the rest of the stalks are carefully
placed to balance the shock, and the
whole is then firmly bound with two
bands before it is LETT. If it is left until
the end of the days work before it is
bound the shock will have settled and
become deformed and out of shape,
and some of them will have fallen and
must be set up again, so that the delay
not only makes bad work, but more of
il. and is an example of the truth OF
the old adage that delays are danger
Gus and make waste" One band should
be put about the center of the shock
and one at the top. and both should be
firmly drawn and fastened. Shocks
thus put up will not blow over or mold
in the center. After the corn is husked
the stalks should be bound in small
bundles and set up in stacks of about
four shocks high, having about twelve
shocks in each. If these are bound
well with two bands they will keep per-
fectly well through the winter in a back
yard or in the fieid.-N Y. Times.

The Cleveland Flats Again the Scene Of
Costly Confla gations-Th Fires Evidently
the Work of Incendiaries.
CLEVELAND. o., September q.
Another fire broke out In the lumber
yards on the flats at eleven O'Clock TO.
day in the dry-house of Monroe Bros,
above Jefferson Street. This Gre was
confined to the yards of Monroe Bros,
although it continued to burn until
night, at p. m, when another alarm
was given and it was found that another
fire had broken out in the yards OF
Brown, Strong & Co., the next yard to
Monroe Bros, but situated some dis
lance from it. As the fire in Monroe
Bros Yard was under control, it Is not
thought that the second fire in Brown.
Strong Co. was in any way connected
with it, but that the fires are the work OF
an organized band of incendiaries. Fears
are entertained of another coGflagration,
similar to that of two weeks ago, and
neighboring towns have been called upon
for assistance. Two engines, one from
Elyria, and one from Akron, have al
ready arrived, and others from San.
dusky and gainesville are now on the way
by special trains.
9. D. m.-The fire in Monroe Bros Is
under under control, but the one In the
yards of Brown, Strong Company Is
still burning tiercely, and has compelled
the firemeu to seek new locations Tor
their engines. Steamers from Ashtabula
and gainesville are just putting their
first stream on the flames. The Connot-
ton Valley Railroad Company have a
large number of cars on their side TRACKS
alongside OF Brown, Strong & Company's
yards, and which will probably be
burned. The tracks of the Connection
are impossible, the. rails having been
badly warped by the heat. The lines OF
the Bankers & Merchants Telegraph
Company are also caughtin the fire. Two
poles have already been completely
burned down, aud some of the wires
broken.

Broken Bones.

A doctor should, of course. be sent
for in most cases, as it is difficult to
determine the character of the fracture.
But the fracture of an arm bone, espe-
cially in the case of children-their
bones are not yet bristle-may be like
that OF green twig, partly bent and
partly broken. In this case, if the arm
can be Strengthened without much, ii
any, pain to the child, thG,oarent may
himself bring the parts into place, keep
them so with splints and Dandages, and
otherwise support the arm.
A broken bone heals of itself almost
as readily as a cut muscle. Rest-ab-
solute rest, no movement of the tract
ured surfaces on each other-is the
main thing. But if the fracture is 10
two or more places, or the bone is
broken into small pieces, or Jagged
end is thus. into the flesh, the doctor,
of course, should be called.
If the hand or foot has been badly
crushed, immense it in quite warm
water, and keep it there till the doctor
comes. Perhaps he may conclude to
let it remain until the Inflammation has
subsided-two or three days-before he
extracts the broken bits.
Hot water has wonderful power to
relieve pain, reduce Inflammation and
promote healing. Hands have thus
been saved for quite good service which
had been crushed under atrip-hammer.
in the case of broken leg, don't lift
up the wounded person. The jagged
ends of the bone may badly lacerate
the flesh. Get some door from its
hinges-or something of the kind and
let the person draw himself on to it
and into such posture as he may lind
least painful In this case, too. absO-
lutte rest of the parts is the one condi-
ton of cure.
OF late years the plaster of Paris BAN
dage has, to large extent. taken the
place of splints. 1t is vastly superior
every way. and with it the person may
sooner be allowed the use Of his iimbs

We call attention to these facts, and
make these suggestions, because we
would like to get as much light on this
dark picture before us as possible. II
there is a sunbeam anywhere We al
ways like to find it and feel it. Some
people seem rather to enjoy being in the
gloom. But we are not that kind.
Those who are looking forward TO the
restoration of the tariff. are compelled
tc. admit that at best that will be con-
siderable distance in the future. They
certainly can expect nothing from this
present Congress, and may be they will
get nothing from the next. 1t is wise.
therefore. to look about and see what
can be done in the present condition OF
affairs, and ii the advocates of n tariff
should get what they want III that di-
rectlon, and can make an additional
profit by devoting more a,ten-
ton to a portion of the BUSH
ness that they have neglected more
or less. it would. of course, be wisdom
to do it. There are hundreds of Mer;no
tlocks that might be greatly improved
in a mutton point OF view. No one ex-
poets to get mutton of as good quality
from Merino as he could get from a
sheep of one of the mutton breeds. but,
nevertheless, good piece of Merino
mutton is good enough for ordinary
mortals, and will be. until the merican
people know more about the difference
in mutton than they now do Mr. Gar
land thinks that the Merino can be
made what we call first-class mutton
sheep. We do not. But we do believe
that if We breed for the largest possible
size. and feed with view Of making as
good mutton as is possible from the
breed. we shall have a profitable NUT
ton-sheep in the Merino. and y very
fair quality of mutton. - Western Rural.
