Eggs have materially declined in the

While it is to the interest of the far

Feeding Corn Stalks.

One of the most extensive sources
of waste among farmers is the mis-
management of corn-fodder. The
annual loss in the country at large
amounts to many millions. The
value of stalks is injured in the first
place by exposure to rains, and if
the shocks are carelessly made and
become Frustrated, they are soon
rendered of no value whatever as
food. In passing through the coun-
try and observing the condition of

hate to tackle the COW unless the friend
was very old friend, indeed.
Butter is produced by expunging the
juice from rare and costly chemical
known as cream. Cream is the bead
on the milk. Milk is known as dry
and extra dry. A good milkman will
always ask you whether yon want your
milk wet or otherwise.
An old well digger told me about
going over into southern Indiana at one
time to dig well for man named
Withum. Withum was said to be very
close. He was the most contiguous
man in Indiana. His wife used to skim
the milk and then turn it over and
skim the bubbles off. 1t was a con-
slant struggle between Withum and
his wife to see which would be the
meaner.
The first day that Grady was there
they had a round ball of butter as big
as lemon and as hard as Pharaoh's
heart. The butter kife had a handle
that would turn every time any one
tried to get lick at the butter, and
the little, round ball would flop over
on the other side and smile. Now and
then hired man would reach over
with his own knife and make a slash
at it, but the butter, confident of its
own strength, would turn over with a
dull thud, and the man would heave a
sigh and give it up. Then another
farm hand would make a wild dash at
it, but burst into tears and quit. FL
nally Grady, who had watched this
performance several days, dabbed his
fork down through the middle of the
yellow chunk and successfully cut it in
two. In the centre was small wood
en- top. There" says Grady, I've
found out what the blamed thing is
wound on, anyhow"

needless exposure to at least one
third, and frequently at more than
one-half the value Of well-kept or
uninjured stalks. In those regions
of the country where the corn is left
standing and not cut or secured in
shock, exposure to all kinds of
weather soon reduces their value
and spoils them,
A still greater waste results from
the common practice of feeding the
stalks whole. The cows eat off the
leaves and leavelnearly all the rest
untouched, which, when mixed
through the manure, renders it unfit
for handling and spreading until
rotted by several months exposure
in the manure heap. Taken alto
gether, it is safe to say that not more
than one-quarter of the best value
of the cornstalks is obtained by the
average farmer. Assuming that
their value when uninjured is at
least one fifth that Of the corn, and
the average corn crop to be 10000
100000 bushels in the whole country,
then the actual loss from, the imper-
feet management of the fodder would
be equal to the value of $4,000, 600
bushels, or about $1OO,OOO,OOO annu-
ally to the farmers of the country at
large.

The District Attorney stated that
among the warrants just returned was
one for William Cuddy. The man
was arrested by mistake. He could
speak of his own knowledge for Mr..
Cuddy as peaceful, abiding man.
The evidence of the witnesses for the
prosecution to-day having shown that
John O'Connor was at his place of
business all day the 18th, and he not
being implicated in any way, the Dis
trict Attorney also moved his dis
charge.
So ordered.
Judge Waters moved, under the
ruling of the Court at recess to day,
that the parties arrested under John
Doe and Richard Roe warrants to-day
(which Mr.. Waters held in his hands),
be discharged.
Acting District Attorney Hawley
objected. The ruling of the Court did
not go to the extent of ordering that
parties already arrested under war.
rants issued prior to that ruling, be
released. The parties arrested must
answer.
Judge Waters raised the question
OF jurisdiction of the Court. The
warrants were issued March 21.
Mr.. Cuddy having been arrested
by mistake, and being in Court, he
was discharged.
Mr.. Hawley denied that, as far as
these John Doe and Richard Roe war
rants were concerned, the complaint
was void. 1t was possibly detective.
but not void. There was nothing
void in the complaint, or any of these
proceedings. The only ruling of the
Court was that the uiserved warrants
in the hands of the Sheriff be returned
to the Clerk. Counsel on the other
side could accomplish, nothing more

DIR. Jones sworn: Was in Broad
ford, March II, from about IL a. m.
until or ) p m. Saw considerable
excitement; MS far as he could Judge
the excitement was caused because of
some disagreement between the Min
ers' Unions and mine owners. There
was an assemblage in front of O'Con-
ner's placc-some 200 or 800 men;
standing there, talking part of the
time; a few persons got up and made
remarks which differed very greatly.
Heard Mr.. Hawley, Mr. McDevitt,
Eugene O'Callaghan, Thomas Butler
and President Atkinson, of Bullion
Union. Mr.. McDevitt seemed to be
little bit excited Don't remember
all he said. The general import of
what remarks had any meaning was
that committee had conferred with
the mine'owners; that they had had
their conference, and that the mine
owners had made no concessions. He
had hoped for different result; and
he now proposed to the Union to 60
up and take peaceable possession of
the mines-peaceably if they could,
and forcibly if they must. That was
the substance Of what he said. MIR.
Buffers remarks were something to
the same tenor. Eugene O'Callaghan
counseled moderation; the President
of the Bullion Union also, and he
even demanded that they GO to their
hall to deliberate. Don't remember
much else, except that they took out
the flag and began buckling on their
belts. The crowd tlen gathered
around Mr.. Butler and Mr.. McDevitt,
and said they were going to the mine.
