Cut Corn Stalks.

Cut cornstalks, well seasoned with
meal, were highly eulogized fifty years
ago. A writer in the Baltimore Far
mer' in September, 1884, says: "Any
one may satisfy himself, merely by his
own taste, that the portion of stalk
below the ear contains much more
saccharine matter than the upper
part, which is saved by topping, and
this fact is corroborated by the ex-
perience of the writer of this
article. He kept three horses
and twelve cows in this way.
The twelve mich COWS were kept in
stalls; eighteen bushels of the stalks,
cut in a horsepower cutting box, were
every morning put into trunk having
q false bottom six inches from the true
bottom, half bushel of Indian meal
was mixed as equally as possible
through the stalks. The six-inch
space between the true bottom of the
trunk, which was perforated with holes
to admit the steam through, was di-
Vlded INTO apartments by a transverse
partition, and contained a small pOr-
ton OF water. Into the upper apart
ment, for one end was a little elevated
was put four quarts of flaxseed every
morning, and into this water was ad-
mitted steam from steam engine.
The stalks, meal and fax seed were
all cooked in this way, in about one
hour and half after the steam had
commenced passing over The water
in which the tlaxseed was stepped was
formed into Jelly, and was drawn
| off and poured over the stalks before
feeding to the cattle. The second
morning the portion of seed that had
been stepped the day before was drawn
down to the lower apartment, and re-
placed with four quarts Of seed, and
the first portion OF seed after the sec
ond sleeping was taken with the ielly,
and poured over the stalks to be
given to the COWS. We have before
shown the tendency OF steaming food
to convert the mucilage, starch and
gummy matter into sugar. Thus each
cow had daily OF meal one quart IL
gill, OF tiaxseed < gill, OF stalks one
bushel and a half. With this feed the
COWS were kept in full flow of milk, and
when dry were in good condition for
the butcher. The cream from their
milk made as good and as yellow but
ter as was made in the summer from
white clover and orchard-grass past

Smaller Farms,

They tell in England a profitable
anecdote about Mr.. Blackwell, of Dish
ley, who was an eminent agriculturist
and breeder of stock. He was also
regarded as a very wise and shrewd
man, and his neighbors were in the
habit Of resorting to him for counsel
and advice. On one occasion an old
friend Went to pay him visit for the
purpose OF explaining to him his posi-
ton, and at the same time begging
that he would recommend him what
to do. He had lived all his life upon
his own farm OF 900 acres; he lived
very well, but he had never saved q
shilling. He had three daughters, and
the eldest was about to be married;
he highly approved OF the match, but
the intended husband expected some
portion, and he had nothing to give
him. Should he mortgage his estate.
or what should he do? Mr.. Blackwell
begged him to spend the night with
him, and promised, the next morning,
to give him the result of his cogita
tions. Accordingly, the next morn

BY MERE ACCIDENT.
BY LIZZIE LYONS.

In her miserable attic room Ethel
Dare, a young girl Of seventeen, was
preparing to 90 to her days work.
The air was white with frost and
everything she touched seemed turned
TO ice She had burnt her last lump
oi coal the night before, and conse-
quently could not have any fire. She
went to the Mountaineering there;
she searched everywhere. and finally
found a crust OF bread. This she tried
to eat in the vain hope that it would
allay the gnawing hunger
Putting on her threadbare shawl
and descending the attic stairs, she
started, stiff and breakfastless, to face
the cold
She was employed at one OF the large
dry-goods stores where, every Satur-
day night she was handed an envelope
containing Just 50. so as a remuner-
ationfor her life OF toll and hardship.
Six months before her mother had
died, and, as Ethel had no money she
had been compelled to apply to the
authorities for burial by the city,
where she and the woman from whom
she rented were the only mourners.
Mrs. Dare i'm her girlhood had been
the only daughter OF a very wealthy
wholesale merchant, and was petted
and spoiled by her only brother; but

The Dog Had an Owner.

From the Detroit Free Pressl
There was a young man in thesmOk-
ing car who was powerfully affected.
He had the swell-head until the coach
was hardly large enough to hold him.
He made great show of a roll of bills
and a diamond pin, and by and by he
let it be known that he had a revolver.
He was making a display of the
weapon when the train entered the
suburbs Of Savannah. Pretty soon
swell-head threw up the window, and
a moment later he got q smart idea.
The train was running very slow, and
a dog rushed out of yard and set up
great barking at the wheels. Here
was a chance to try the revolver, and
bullet struck and shattered one of the
brute's fore legs. Just then the train
stopped to wait for a switch, and the
dog rolled over and over and made
the neighborhoOd echo with his bowls.
The smart young man hadn't long
to wait. The dog belonged to an Irish
woman, and she came running out.
She saw the fellow with the weapon
still IN his hand, and she entered the
smoking car like g tigress. He was
looking out of the window and didn't
see her approach. She grabbed him
oil over at once, dragged him into the
aisle as If he were a parcel and she
then and there gave him such a wal
Looping as left him a hopeless. helpless
wreck. No one interfered, and he was
a mere plaything n her strong arms.
When she let up his clothing was in
shreds, his face all blood, his hair
thinned out and his system knocked
to pieces for six months to come. Not
one single word was uttered by the
woman until she was ready to leave
the car. Then she looked down on
his battered remains and remarked;

Aside from the expert bank burglar and

Chief, refectively. why? Because he
must be intelligent, adroit, and possessed OF

would even rank The hotel thief above the
hank burglar or sneak, who are accorded the
front rank IN tie criminal profession. Pre-
