Feeding Value of Corn Fodder.--Prof. j.
W. Sanborn, of the Missouri Agricultural College,
is teaching farmers in tho West the value of corn
fodder for cattle food. Last winter he conducted
some experiments with steers, covering three sets
and 100 days time lot of three steers weighing
3,OI6 pounds, February 10th, fed on timothy and
red top hay, gained to March 18th, but 50 pounds.
Lot two weighing. February 10th, 3,OO5 pounds,
gained, to March 18th, lO2 pounds. Their food
was clover hay and corn fodder. Lot weighed
1850 pounds. February 10Th. gained to March
18th, "a pounds Their food was corn fodder and
81 pounds each of middlings and of cotton seed
meal per steer. Lot ate 2, 136 pounds hay and
$50 pounds meal. Lot ate 1851 pounds clover
hay and corn fodder and 450 pounds of meal
Lot 8 ate $40 pounds corn fodder and $50 pounds
meal or pounds by each steer daily. The results
arrived at after trials continued through eight
years showed that in certain combinations of food
like clover or cotton seed meal, corn fodder has,
pound against pound, substantially the same feed
ing value as timothy. When the fodder is cut up
in machine the whole is eaten without waste,
and it was found that fodder so prepared and
combined in ration is good as hay. Our
farmers have long known the value OF corn fodder
q feeding stuff, and have used it freely, at least
q majority of them have. But there still some
who do not cut the fodder, but throw it into the
yard in the bundle. It will probably be news to
these to be told that they thus waste the best part
of the fodder. Analysis shows that the part of
the stalk from the ear down contains more nutri-
ment than the part above. When the whole stalks
are given to the cattle they never eat anything
but the blades and the husk. When cut and made
into mess all is eaten.

A Substitute for Matches.-Take an OBJ
long vial of the whitest and dearest glass, and
put into it piece of phosphorus about the size
of pea. Pour some olive oil, heated to the boil
ing point,upon the phosphorus, fill the vial about
one-third full and then cork it tightly. To use
this novel light remove the cork, allow the air to
enter the vial and then recork it. This empty
space in the vial will become luminous and the
light obtained is equal to that of a lamp. When
the light becomes dim its power can be increased
by taking out the cork and allowing fresh sup
ply of air to enter the vial.

Hartford Tomato District. editor 0

Hartford Tomato District.-The editor Of
the American Grocer, New York, visited some OF
the canning houses in Hartford county recently,
and has written an interesting account of his trip
and published it in his paper, portion OF which
we append:
"Harford county, Maryland, famous as to-
mato packing district, takes its name from Henry
Hartford, last proprietary of Maryland, an ileg't-
innate son of Frederick, sixth and last Lord Bal
timore. 1t was created county in l773, and Is
one of the richest in the State of Maryland. The
entire county is a park of great natural beauty.
The roll of the land is like the roll of the sea.
The soil seems peculiarly adapted to the cultiva-
ton of the tomato, which can be produced at
cost of about ten dollars per acre.
"Tbe district in and about Aberdeen, Carsin's
Run, Havre-de-Grace, Psrryman's, Webster Har-
ford Furnace, Fountain Green and Level, ana
that covered BY an association of packers known
as the Red Seal, operating in the northern part
of the county, have been the most active TINS year.
There are few large houses, the average capacity
of those operated being between 1000 and S'ooo
cases per season.
"To see one farmers packing house is virtually
to see all. One thing in favor of the farmer PACK
ers is the fact that they receive the fruit direct
from nearby fields, and it therefore goes into the
cans in perfectly fresh condition.
"There are few scientific packers in the coun-
ty; that is, men who thoroughly understand the
chemistry of cookery. With one or two excep-
tons we did not see factory where the opera
tons of packing were anything like as thorough
or careful as those adopted by the scientific pack
ar. The farmer packer has much to learn in re-
gard to processing, both as to time and the tenn
perature of the bath. He omits details IN nliing'
and the general routine of work which are indis-
pensa5le to the canning of the tomato IN periec-
ton.
"In 1889 the fever for canning corn and toma-
toes reached its height in Hartford. This year
there has been large reduction in the number OF
canneries operated, as compared with last year.
In some sections about four out of FIVE packing
houses have not been operated. All sections OF
the county show falling of in production The
acreage is smaller but equality of the crop was
unusually good until drouth set in about the
first of September. SIS
eve certainly wish prosperity to an industry
that has brought into Hartford county double the
amount of money that the coal mines in Allegha-
ny county have turned into that locality.
"To that end We speak plainly and candidly
to the Hartford packers. We suggest to many
greater care in handling the refuse OF their tacto-
ries. There is no excuse for the foul smell that
is connected with so many of the canneries. An
epidemic Of diphtheria some virulent fever Is
constantly invited. 1t is one of the most serious
blots of the industry"

Income from Farming Capital.-A prom
inent agricuturist's views farm capital :
"Farmers have been accustomed to say that cap
ital in farming did not pay but this was when
money brought from seven to ten per cent. inter-
est. That time has passed, probably never to re-
turn in the older states. Money is most fortu-
nately placed that, with good security brings six
per cent. Money is now easily borrowed, on real
estate security, at five per cent. aud in large
at four per cent. We must therefore conclude
that an investment in real estate which earns
four per cent. is well placed; and at this interest
It would require sl5, 600 to earn $50 per month"

The very general interest being taken
by the people of Dakota IN protesting
against the repeal of the pre- emptlon and
timber culture laws shows the unpopu.
larity of that measure among the people
whom it most affects The bill which
has passed the house and is now pending
before tn, senate not only repeals the
laws above referred to but makes the ac-
QUESTION of homestead much more diff
cult. That these laws might be improved
by amendment so as to prevent the abuses
that are practiced under them no one
WHO IS aquainted with the working of the
system will deny, but to repeal and
amend as contemplated. in this bill would
be much worse extreme in the other d.
rection. 1t is not believed by those who
are acquainted with the feeling Of the SEN
ate upon the question that the bill will
pass that body, but 1t will brace up the
opposition to have the support of the pro-
tests of those most affected by the meas
ure.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR is creature OF
surprises. 1t was surprise to him when
he was dismissed from the custom house
at the port of New York by Mrs. Hayes
husband. 1t was surprise to the Amer
ican people when he was nominated for
the vice presidency four years ago. 1t
was surprise to the people when the
tragedy occurred that made him presi-
dent. 1t was a surprise TO the country
that he let the government alone to run
itself so smoothly during his adminlstra-
ton. 1t was surprise that his boom so
suddenly collapsed in the Chicago con-
vention, and he has now surprised the
people of Dakota by the appointment OF
Gilbert A. Piercel, of Illinois, governor OF
this territory, and he may vet be surprised
by the senate refusing to confirm the ap-
pointment which is in direct contraven-
ton of one of the planks in the republi-
can platform upon wich that party is now
making the campaign. This man Piercel
may be good and capable man, and all
that, but he will be regarded as ''car-
petbagger" by our people who rightfulIy
think they are entitled to furnish the off,
GERS Of the territory from among their
own number.

90 PER YEAR.

THE first veto of the session by presi-
dent Arthur is that of the Fitz John POr-
ter bill, and the promptness with which
1t was passed over the veto by the house
shows that that body is not disposed to
stand any monkeying with their measures
by the executive whose official days are
numbered by the nomination Of Blaine
as his successor. The house did not even
discuss the veto but proceeded to pass the
bill over his objections IN what might be
called silent contempt. It's question
of justice and involves only what censtl-
tntes justice. The subject has been dis
cussed in congress and by the press for
years, and we are inclined to think the
president made a mistake in setting up
his individual opinion in opposition to
that of a majority of both houses. 1t il
hardly probable, however, that the neces-
sary two-thirds can be obtained in favor
Of the bill in the senate and the veto will
therefore defeat the measure becoming Z
law even though majority Of that body
have declared IN favor of it.

The spectacle Of five til ousand people
including large delegation Of "culchaw-
ed'' dudes from Boston and high -heeled
arlstocracy from the Quaker city, gather
ing in New York TO witness drunken
slugging match between Sullivan and the
English slugger, Is one which does net
inspire much awe among western peo.
pie whom the people and papers of those
cities look upon as semi. barbarlans very
little above the wild red man in the scale
OF civilization. Unfortunately for the en-
tertsinment of that great congregation
and aggregation OF kidgloved dudes the
American slugger was too drunk to en-
tertain them with an exhibition OF his
skill in knocking his antagonist out, and
to satisfy the refined tastes of the audi
ence an impromptu match was present
ed. If the slugging business becomes
much more popular in that city the peo-
PIE need not be surprised to see Henry
Ward Beecher occupying front seat and
descanting upon the christian virtue OF
cultlvating the muscle. Beecher has al
ways had the reputation of being In ad-
vance of his congregation and church In
liberallty and it will be no surprise to
learn of his presiding at slugging
match

THE Thurman boom which for tn e m o.
ment sprang up Immediately after Til
denis letter Of withdrawal from the field
has practically died out. Judge Thur
man is too good man to command favor
with the gang of professional politicians
who are engineering the democratic ma
chine. Payne, of standard oil not"riety,
of the Buckeye state, though no more to
be compared to Thurman in point of
ability and personal character than
pigmy is to be compared with giant,
stands higher with the clan of convention
manipulators than the old democratic
Roman whose name will stand in the i'm
partial history of his country alongside of
those of Webster, Clay, Douglas aud
Sumner. The democratic party is in
pltiable condition and is fore-doomed to
defeat at the election so long as such
slum slugge's as John Kelley are allowed
t. virtually dictate its candidate
for the presidency. Under such par
ty manipulation the good and great
men of the party will be kept in the back
ground, while the demagagues and cor
rupt will come t. the front and reap the
hOnOrs.

IT would be no more than right and
political courtesy for the republicans to
let up on their enthusiasm for week or
two and give the democrats chance in
public attention. They are to have their
big circus in Chicago on the 9Th of next
month and the Blaine and Logan enthu-
siasm all over the country is taking the
wind out of their sails. About all the fun
the democrats will get out of their cam
paign will he what they can have at their
national convention and the republicans
can we'll afford to be magnanimous
enough to eoncede them that, as they
will not be likely to make nomination
that will interfere much with the repub-
licans at the election next November.

The gold mines being worked by pom
derous machinery and reported to be
yielding s25 per ton, at Lisbon. Ranssm
county, seems to attract but little atten-
tion from our people. The fact is the
people do not care much for gold NINE
IN this country. They are too common
to inspire excitement. A gold mine IL
not an Insignificant bonanza to have any
where, but in Dakota most Of the people
prefer to let it grow out Of the ground in
No. ! hard to digging it out with spade
and pick. We do not know the real value
Of either the Lisbon or the Couer de Alene
mines, but we would not advise any one
to leave good business of farming or
any other to 60 to the mines. 1t requires
work, business tact and energy to make
mining pay. 1t Is the difficulty of obtain
ing this precious metal that makes it 20
valuable, and as long as 1t remains 20
valuable you may depend upon it that it
takes work and many chances to get it.
If gold could be picked up like stone on
the bluffs it would be bought at eight
dollars cord and used for building foun-
datlons,

A canvass of the sentiment of our cltl-
zens upon the appointment for governor
developed the existence of general sur
prise, considerable depreca ton and some
indignation. While none raise personal
objection to Mr.. Pierce, the appolntee, a
great many deprccate the policy of Sc
lecting the governor from outside the
territory. While president Arthur is not
really technically bound by the platform
on this subject adopted at the recent
national republican convention they con-
slder it bad political taste in him 10 DIS
regard it,
