Raising COrn.F Fodder.

There are some important points in
raising corn-fodder which have never
been sufficiently settled by accurate ex-
careful trial by farmers who are willing
to give the necessary attention, Is well
as by experiment stations.
Among other practical questions. ID
whether the fodder should be sown sc
thickly in the furrOw as to prevent the
formation of ears. giving all the
strength of the land to the stalks; or
whether more valuable feed may be OBJ
tanned from an acre by a thinner
growth with well-formed ears. In the
latter case. there might be enough
grain mixed with the chopped stalks TO
obviate any addition of meal: it being
understood that whether cut for the
soil or fed dry. the stalks shall be cut
not more than half an inch long, by
which their value is more than doubled.
In connection with this question. is the
fact that by preventing the formation
OF grain, the land would be rather en-
riched than otherwise from the mass Of
roots left in the ground; and. also, the
fact. proved By trial, that with a very
thick growth of stalks in the furrow
(sav four bushels of seed to the acre),
more tons per acre were obtained than
from thinner sowing. although the late
ter was taller. and 10 a superficial OBJ
server appeared heavier. This result
was obtained from the small Northern
corn. With the larger Southern varie-
ties the result might be different; and
with q wet season, or with deep soil or
SUBSIDIZED land. q thick growth would
do better than otherwise.
II would therefore be we'll to try the
following experiments. continuing them
through three or four unlike seasOns:
Sow the fodder in strips four or five
rows together. and extending across the
field-first with small Northern corn at
the rate of one bushel. W bushels,
three bushels and four bushels per acre,
which will be about ten stalks to the
running foot. and twenty, thirty, and
forty stalks. Repeat this trial on well
SUBSIDIZED land; and also on heavily ma
nured land. and observe nv weighing il
the subsoiling and manuring are paid
for by the increase of product.
Try the result of %cultivating frequent
IL. say every five days. narrowing
broadcast as long As the crop will bear
it; and compare this treatment with the
common practice of narrowing but two
or t.Iree times in the season.
Repeat the above experiments with
large Southern corn. but in quantities
of seed One-half and two-thirds a.
great - with the small corn.
Various notifications of these ex-
periments will be suggested to those
who undertake them; and the results
can not fail to afford valuable informa-
lion. which may in future and in ex-
iensive raising of fodder save large
sums. 1t is quite important that every.
thing be submitted to accurate weigh.

work would be OF little avail. if noa

Crazy George.

There came pretty nigh being riot in
the lower end of the city Saturday after
noon. Old crazy George was in town with
his curious rig, and was selling fish to
the natives in that end of the city. A
gang of boys followed him, hooting and
making fun of him. Crazy George got
tired of this, and jumping down off the
wagon, he picked up half of brick and
hit young fellow named Swain on the
side of the head Then the boys were
going to mob old George, but were pre-
vented from doing so by the citizens
there The boys ought to be ashamed of
themselves.

CABLES CAR.
A Thing Of Beauty and Comfort--A
Successful Man.

Saturday evening Mr. r. R. Cable, pres
ident of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific road, accompanied by his pleasant
family, arrived in the city in his new
and elegant car the 800" The car
was switched off here and placed ON the
side track, near Twelfth street. An
ARGUS reporter meandered down that
way in heevening, and was kindly shown
through the car by the gentlemanly COL
ored potter, who has been in Mr. Cables
employ for several years. The car has
only recently been built, and is a model of
beauty and perfection. 1t is sixty eight
feet in length. being ten feet longer than
the Columbia" Mr.. Cables old car.
There are four drawing rooms and
chamber in the centre, while either end is
used as parlors. Elegant furniture and
ornaments show off to good advantage.
Most of the windows are of double French
plate glass The cooking apartment con-
tains large range of the most approved
pattern, and is surrounded by lockers in
which the china and table ware is nicely
stored away. The car is finished in
choice cherry, maple and butternut wood,
and it is certainly superior piece of
workmanship. President Cable is to be
envied for his house on wheels, the inte-
rior of which will compare favorably with
some of the finest mansions of the wealthy.
Mr.. Cable has also cause to rejoice over
his magnifcen. triumph over Vanderbilt
the money king. This bloated aristocrat
had said that he would oust Cable from
the presidency of the Rock Island & Pa
cifc road, and to that end directed his
efforts. At the last election of directors,
however, men were selected favorable to
Mr.. Cable, and he is still retained As
consequence Vanderbilt has become dis
gusted. and has disposed of all his stock
in this great road. 1t is very seldom that
these monopolists are worsted, for their
money is a power, and they generally crush
their antagonists at their sweet will. Mr..
Cables courage in boarding the lion is
worthy of high commendation, and that he
has worsted him ia GOOD news for the
people of this city, who take just pride
in Mr.. Cable, and watch his rapid ad-
vancement towards prominence with
feelings of pleasure.

THE SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
Which Was Held Last Saturday Night
Proves Graud Success--A
Large Crowd and q
Pleasant Time.


For the past two months the lads of St.
Joseph's school have been preparing for
graduating day. which occurred Saturday
night. They put in all the spare time
that they could find in practicing. and
how well they succeeded in their efforts,
one had only to have seen them Saturday
night, to know that their efforts and time
spent was not in vain. The upper room
in the school building, which had been
used by the girls on Thursday night when
their closing exercises took place. looked
as fresh as it ever did, and the many hap
py, smiling faces of the little lads denoted
the pleasure they had in being present.
On the right of the impromto stage, or
platform, sat the Mother Superior, and a
number of other Sisters-teachers of the
in the school, also Rev Father Mackin
Everywhere ones eyes were greeted with
ferns, evergreens and flowers, all arranged
In an artistic manner, while the audience,
some four hundred or more, wore look
of expectancy on their faces. The exer-
cises of the evening consisted of essays,
dialogues, declamations and music, and
everyone of the little fellows who took a
part in the evenings entertainment, ac-
quilted himself WELL and the audience
present seemed to be more than pleased,
if prolonged applause and hearty laughter

or the space to give each one of the boys
a notice, but let it suffice to say that the
programme, which had been arranged,
was fully carried out, until late hour
compelled a cessation of the entertain

over again this evening at the school,
when there will be a number of the boys

as you do people in other callings. But
we are pleased to say that the railroad
boys who run into this city are genuine
good hearted fellows, and they all have
the esteem of their fellow men.
The ARGUS has reported the change of
residence of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy men, who will reside in Rock
Island in the future, instead of St Louis
Our citizens have given them a cordial
reception, and most of them are now
comfortably settled here. and the re
mainder will be in short time. Now,
there would nothing please us better than
to see the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
boys take up their residence here. There
is quite an army of them, and if they
shonld move here, we would have to
build more houses. The pas
senger conductors are all men of family,
and would make excellent citizens Seven
passenger conductors run into the city:
B. Ketchingman, John Cummings, Chas
Cross, G. Perrett, Thomas Fuller, B.
McNanny, and c. W. Bush They are all
men of good moral character, and if they
could be induced to move here,
they would give our fair city
a boom. Four of these gentle
men now live in Racine, two in
Milwaukee and one in Freeport. Con-
ductor Ketchingman is SO much loved by
the people of Racine that they have in
sisted upon him being an alderman, and
he is now serving them faithfully in that
capacity. There is strong talk of making
him mayor next spring, if he will accept
the honor. Messrs Perrett. Cummings
and Bush also live in Racine, either one
of whom would make good aldermen.
Messrs. Fuller and McNanny live in Mil
waukee. The former is noted for being
great fisherman. while the latter has
become celebrated for his native wit.
Chas. E. Cross lives in Freeport, and is
the popular conductor of the Flying
Dutchman To show Charles love for
his family it is only necessary to state
that he travels about seventy miles every
day in order to take dinner with his wife
and children. He spends every night
here and each Sunday.
OF course these conductors could moi
move here unless the runs were changed
so they would have their long lay over at
this end. If the superintendent would
do this, and they siguified their willing
ness to come here. we would suspend
publication for week, and help then
move their household effects here. They
would be useful members of society, an,
some of them are capable of taking charg,
of Sunday school.
