The School Meeting.

A meeting of the voters of hide.
pendent school district was held on
Monday at the school building for
the purpose of fixing the amount OF
money to be raised by the tax-Ievy
for the ensuing year fer the purpose
of carrying on the schools. 1t was de-
cided to erect building for the
lower grades as the present building
is oyerburd ened. a. 5s8.
1t was thought best to put up two
story frame structure, 30x40 feet,
to be located On the school building
lot, west of the main structure, and
fit up only the first floor for immedia-
late use. The cost of building and
furnishing was estimated at $500.
The following sums were author
lied to be raised for the year:
New Bullding,........... $500 10
Teachers Wages ......... 5000 W
Incidental Expenses. 800. 1900 90
Interest and Bonds. ...... 1910 90
Total, .$10,310 90
The total assessed valuation of
property in the district is about $500
900, and it will require tax Of
about 2O-mills, on the dollar. or 800
on every thousand dollars of assessed
valuation. Last year the tax was a
little lower than this, but for num-
Der of years it has averaged higher.

CORN.FODDER.
A Mistake Committed by q Majority Of
Stock Owners.

A Mistake Committed by Majority Of
ock-Owners.
We can point to hundreds of farm
ers, should proof be required, who
grow corn and wilfully waste the most
valuable portion of the crop every year.
In making this claim it may surprise
many, as we take the stand that fod-
der, if properly used, is worth more
on the farm than the grain. Mind,
however, we say if properly used. The
fodder that is cut, stacked and left
standing in the fields is not as soluble
as that cured and stacked at the proper
stage and stored under cover. If the
farmers will keep sheep and cut the
whole stock-lcaf included-and feed
with small proportion of grain, a
larger profit can be derived than by
feeding corn to any stock. And we 60
further, and claim if horses be fed on
good, bright corn-fodder that has been
cut and crushed in fodder-cutter, they
can be carried over winter and be
brought out in spring in better
condition, without any grain at all
except a small allowance of oats
at night, than they can on corn
or its equivalent in value, for the
reason that they will not only relish the
fodder, but also because so large
quantity can be grown on an acre, that
it surpasses the grain in value. Corn
fodder is allowed to waste by turning
the stock upon it to pick it over and
trample it, but when the farmers learn
that by properly curing and cutting it
up for stock every portion may be used
as serviceable food, they will realize
the mistake they have made in not APP
preciating the value and Importance OF
this portion of the corn crop.
1t is the mistakes made in farming
that discourage so many, and the most
prominent mistake is the neglect to
properly use the fodder from the corn
crop-stalks and leaves-that render
the crops of such little value in some
respects. Growing corn for the grain
alone does not pay, and yet the farm
ers who are not aware of this fact an
nually put in their crops, harvest the
grain, and allow the really valuable
portion to be wasted by trampling or
else destroyed by exposure. We might
allude to straw also as another waste
product, but which may be used to
good advantage on all well regulated
farms where economy is rightly prac-
ticed. - Washington Post

A PROFESSORS GAME.
His Students Are Determined to Haze
Him, and He Humors the Boys.

His Students Are Determined to Haze
Him, and He Humors the Boys.
A party of smart young students in
certain town in Kentucky conceived
the brilliant idea last winter of hazing
their new professor. 1t was decided
after much elaboration TO invite him
coon-hunling, and after leading him
about in the woods until completely
bewildered to abandon him, and let
him find his way back to the settlement
or remain in the woods all night.
Now, as the professor was stranger
and weighed over two hundred pounds,
this scheme seemed too funny for
anything, and many a hearty laugh
did they have over it, The invita-
ton was given and accepted; the
appointed night came, cold and
clear with several feet of snow on
the ground. Every thing moved along
as arranged. The professor seemed
guileless and unsuspecting, but beneath
his puffy eyelids now and then cleaned
an amusing twinkle. They had plod-
ded through the snow for several hours,
and the leader was about to give the
signal to dispense when the professor
sank to the ground with groan of
agony.
"Oh! oh!' he moaned, zone of my
attacks again. For mercy's sake, boys,
get me to a place of shelter OF I'm a
dead man."
Talk about scared boys. Here they
were nearly five miles from the nearest
house and an apparently dying man on
their hands. Something must be done,
and quickly, too. A litter was hastily
improvised, and with coats for cush-
ions, the professor was gently laid
thereon and homeward they started. a
sorry set of practical jokers, taking
turns at carrying their massive pre-
ceptor.
Not a sound was heard but the means
of the professor and the grunts of the
students, who were straining every
nerve to keep from jostling the patient.
After what seemed score of miles, the
weary. bedraggled fellows carefully
lowered their burden to snatch a few
minutes rest before entering the vii
lage, which was within astone's throw,
when, what was their surprise to see
the professor leisurely arise from his
comfortable couch and cody observe;
Much obliged, boys! much obliged!
But one word. The next time want
ed to play practical jokes would Sc
lect an invalid for subject" and with
a chuckle he strobe off.
And those boys sat there in the snow
and swere until they melted place
about them of half an acre.-Sdm, NE

KEEPING GEESE,
Profitable Industry III Properly and sys-
temetlcally Managed.

temeticaily Managed.
Geese are profitable or improbable
according to the manner in which they
are kept. If given the use of large
pond on which they can enjoy them
selves and dive down in search of MIR
nows and tadpoles, they can supply
themselves with all the animal food they
require. They should also have plenty
of grass. When geese are kept on
abandoned fields, and have access to
ponds, they are profitable; but If they
are to be fed altogether, they will be
kept at loss. They often do damage
to pastures, and destroy and waste
much that they should not dis
turb. The best breeds are
the Toulouse and Embden, the
latter being entirely white
IN color, thus rendering their feathers
more valuable. A cross of the Toulouse
gander on the Emblem goose makes the
largest csoduce for market. A goose
will lay from twenty to forty eggs, but
seldom matches moro than one brood.
The goslings should not be allowed near
the water until fully feathered, as damp.
ness is injurious TO them, the down be.
ing no protection. They should be fed
for the first six or eight weeks on 6
mixed diet, and may then be left to
their parents altogether. Old geese
make the best breeders. but only the
young ones are marketed. Eggs from
geese under two years old do not hatch
well.--Farn,, Field and Stockman.
