Cornstalks.

I have fed the cornstalks that grew
on my farm for fifty years, and often
thought they paid well for the labor of
raising the crop. Large. coarse stalks
are not best for fodder; the more tender
and full of leaves the better. They
must be cut while green and thoroughly
well cured. After the grain is threshed
and the barns empty there is room to
store stalks, and, if we'll cured and dry
when put in, they keep as well as hay,
and cost no more per ton. My stalks
are fed mainly to COWS and young grow
ing cattle, in dry open yards, being
properly distributed before the cattle are
turned out. If the yards are dry there
will be no waste if the quantity is suit
able. Nothing should be fed in the
mud. Stalks fed in managers to horses,
cattle or sheep handle best, and the
work is less if cut. They are sometimes
cut with the corn on, unhusked. and
used with good results to fatten cattle
and sheep. But they can not be cut
without the expense of machinery and
labor, which amounts to cons iderable;
and when there are cows and young
cattle, with suitable yards for those OF
each kind and age to get exercise, they
supply desirable change of food, keep
them busy, yet quiet and contented,
while they grow and thrive better and
get more strength and vigor than if fed
on straw or hay of average quality

A Wonderful Phenomenon.

The village of Romford ST. Ervan,
about four miles to the southwest Of
Padstow, ON the north coast of Corn
wall, England, was recently the scene
of a remarkable phenomenon. The
weather up to two o'clock in the after
noon was calm. with a little rain; but
about that time three rows of corn stand
ing in an adjacent field was suddenly
carried into the air to a considerable
height, and the sheaves fell in showers
at d stances varying from fifty to oae
hundred yards from their original posi-
ton. Immediately after the roof of
cattle-shed was wrenched off with great
force, and an apple-tree, with roofs Of
about fifteen inches in circumference,
was uprooted with much Violence. and
its leaves, with those of the surround
ing trees, were whirled upward in a
cloud to such height that they were
entirely lest to view by those who wit
messed the strange occurrence. A boy
walking along was lifted up by the wind
and turned over. but was uninjured.
The whirlwind lasted only about two
minutes and covered very limited area.

ment of an Actual Fact.


ment of an Actual Fact.
From a careful study of the cost Of
preparing the ground and puttingin in and
harvesting crops in this country am
fully satisfied that farm expenses are
fully one hundred per cent dearcr. in
many cases. here than they are in Amer
lea, Notwithstanding the much higher
wages paid with us. The fact is that
the employment of labor-saving agricul-
tural machinery is much more general
and varied in our country than 1t is in
this In the matter of hay gathering,
as an illustration In point. l recently
saw field of some ten acres in extent,
the crop of which was being secured.
The following was the modus operandi;
Two horses attached to cart, "tan-
dem;" boy to lead the horses; one man
to pitch up the hay; two men to load
with their hands; boy to rake after,
and there were three sets of workpeople
after this fashion on this one field. Now.
in America, with one man to load and
drive his span of horses, and one man
to "pitch on" the bay--with horse hay
fork to unload--more hay would be Sc
cured in one day than the three sets of
workers were able to manage! The
'raking after" would have been done
by boy with horse-rake, after tho
field had been cleared of hay,
What is true in the bayfield, applies
with equal force to the harvest-field.
in passing by field of wheat last sea-
son | saw n reaping-machine at work,
and six men, two women, and three
boys binding up the sheaves! In the
United States "reaper and self
binder" with the help of two men,
would do the same work equally well,
thus saving the wages of five men, two
women, and three boys! These in
stances clearly show that English farm
ers arc very unequally handicapped in
the cost of handling crops alone. An
English settler in the United States
told me not long ago that he had
learned to do twice as much work on
his own land in one day as he used to
accomplish in day in England, and
he added that ''he really believed he
could go back to England and make
money farming" rs the result of his
improved knowledge of how to expedi-
tiously put in and gather crops at q
great saving of manual labor and con-
sequently OF expense. l feel certain
that it would pay agriculturists here to
send deputat!on of practical farmers
to America to study the system of put
ing in and gathering crops in use there
to the end that a reduction in the cost
of manipulating the same might be
made.-F'rom ConsuL ShuW'S Annuai

What the Commissioner of Agriculture
Said of Pcrcheron Horses.
Hon. George B. Loring, Commission
or of Agriculture of the United States,
having promised to meet with the Perch
eron Horse-Breeders of America, at
Chicago, Nov. Is, 1888, telegraphed as
follows: az regret exceedingly my in
ability to be with you. Am heartily in
sympathy with your position. Physi-
clan positively forbids my leaving the
house. My disappointment is greater
than yours. The Percherons are recog-
nized rs distinct breed in France, and
are entitled to Stud Book there and in
this country as much as thoroughbreds,
and rs much as any breed of cattle to a
herd book. Their Introduction has
greatly improved the farm and draft
horses of this country, and will, I'M
doubtcdly, improve the large carriage
and omnibus horses. l think the pub
lication of Stud Book in both countries
will ultimately, in this case as in all
others, add greatly to the future value
of the breed" 1t is gratifying to know
similar sentiments are entertained by
some of the prominent importers, nota-
bly, among them, Mr.. NJ. w. Dunham,
of Wayne Illinois, who, buying none
but pedigreed stock, has done more to-
ward the introduction of the finest types
of the breed than, we might almost
say, all other men, having imported
nearly 1000 since 1872.

A widow, whose age might have been
forty, went into business on Grand River

was to get ii sign painted, The services of

finished his work he put oil his imprint"
by placing his initials, "W. A. H." down
