USE OF STRAW.

It's True Economy Lying in It's Comfort TO
Stock as Bedding.
Why not, when stock is put into the
yards for wintcring, cover the ground
thickiy with straw, and especially I'M
der the sheds? Thus liquids, the most
valuable portion of the manure, in
stead of going to waste, would be
soaked up by the straw, and at length
become thoroughly moistened. In the
spring the whole may be piled to be
r0tted into manure. The straw should
be added to from time to time, espec-
ially after snow storms, so there may
be plenty for cattle to lie on. Thus
while serving their comfort at the same
time it is increasing in value, for the
ultimate value of straw is in proper
ton to its saturation with the liquid
waste of the yards and stables:
Straw is of little value as food, ex-
cept to properly distend the stomachs
Of animals that are fed grain. Rotted
down by itself, many good farmers
claim that its true economy lies i'll its
ashes. There is good ground for this
belief, unless in the ease of tough soils

value on such soils is as much en-
HANGED by being first used as bedding
as upon any other soil; for before
serving its ultimate purpose in any
soil it must first be brought into humuE

that many farmers having plenty o.
straw should refuse to allow the stock,

A STORY or a FORTUNE.
How an Atlanta Man Made . HaIf Miller
in a Few Years.
ATLANTA Constitution.1

IN q Few Years.
ATLANTA constitutional
Let me tell you about the easiest $500, 900
that good man ever earned. About
twelve years ago Major Campbell Wallace,
of this city; invested 5000 cash in the
stock of the Elyton Land Company. The
total capital was s10o, 600 cash-which was
increased to 100000 in stock. The COM
pany bought 1000 acres Of land, the site Of
the present city of Birmingham. PERMITS
sion was soon granted the company to issue
100000 in bonds for improving the prop
erty. The bonds were sold, but almost
Immediately were rkb6ught by the COM
pany and retired The proceeds of land
sales were largely put into improvements.
Major Wallace has drawn over 500 900 in
cash dividends on his $1,000 investment.
He has drawn $1,000 or three times
his investment in dividends this year,
with four months TO hesr from. Besides
baying such dividends the company las
over s., 0Que000 in cash assets, exclusive of
its land, which mas 9ardlS been touched.
The shares are now worth 44,oCa each.
Major Wallace received 10, his 5000 cash,
$4,000 in stock, or 123 shares, WoISh now
in open market 81, coo a share. He has dis
tributed the most of his stock among lis
children, aud Mrs. Mynatt has just re-
ceived and refused an offer of $4,000 for
her share.
THIS reads ike a fairy tale-an invest
nent Of 5000 paying over 100000 divi-
bends in twelve years and Then being
worth S4S0,O00 cash. The Elyton COMPANY
on paid in capital of 100000 has paid
over 81, 100000 il dividends, has s., 000, 000
assets, besides It's land, and its stock is
worth SS.000,000. This stock was hfNv ked
about Atlanta few years ago at eighteen
cents on the dollar.

DRILLING CORN.

Recent Experiments in Planting and liar
vesting Satisfactory Crop.
Iplanted my corn this year in drills
instead of hills and can now report re.
suits. Although it was sowed with an
ordinary wheat drill which did the
work poorly, and in spite of the sue
ceeding drought which caused it to
come UP very unevenly, it has matured
Il very satisfactory crop. 1 am well
pleased with this method of planting.
But two things are requisite to insure
the greatest success. A good planter
is needed 50 that the corn shall be
evenly distributed, and then the
smoothing harrow should be put over
the ground at least once week for the
first five or six weeks This thorough
" destroys all weeds when small, and
renders the use of hoe superfuous eX-
cept to cut up thistles or other peren-
NAL weeds.
There can be but one objection raised
to drill planting of corn, when treated
as above described, and that is the in
creased labor of cutting. This can be
entirely obviated by cutting it with
self-raking reaper, which will do it
easily. putting il in fine shape for bind
ing, if only single row is taken at
time. BY letting the corn lie one day
in the Gayel before binding, it viii be
SO wilted that any stalk will answer as
q binder
When corn is 50 cut and bound in
bundles and these are set into rather
large shocks, it cures out nicely and IS
in the best possible shape for hauling
into the barn or shed for husking.
And by using the reaper it can be cut,
bound and placed in shocks with less
than half the labor of cutting by hand
and standing in the ordinary stock.
There are many things Yet to be learned
ia farming. - Cor, R,trf Netr I0rker.
