Corn STALKs.-We have often re-
ferred to the great waste occasioned
on some farms by feeding corn fod-
der in such quantities that the cattle
would only pick off the leaves. On
a recent visit to a section of Maine
where sweet corn is grown for the
packing shops the writer saw a good
illustration of the two methods of
feeding. Two barns were visited
where fodder from the same kind of
corn was being used. The corn was
a large late variety and the stalks
so juicy that the small ears grew
and filled ont after it was cut np and
put in the barn. Zone Of the men

Happy Ones Who Have Money.

''Mrs. Coleman Qrayton is the best
dressed woman in New York" said a
lady to her companion as they slipped
their after-dinner coffee in a famous
restaurant in Central Park the other
day.
And so she is Everybody in the
social world admits that Mrs. Drayton
dresses more extensively and with bet
ter taste than any other woman in
Gotham. She was lone of the Aston
girls" She is beautiful and accom-
plished and is worth $5,000,000 now.
Some of these DAYS, when the AstOr
estate is divided up she will have ten
times as much more. Her diamonds
and jewelry are of the best She spends
from $4,000 to $50, 900 yearly for her
clothing.
s'Do you know how much it costs
the average fashionable woman of New
York for dress each year?" asked the
lady quoted above. No" well,
let me tell you that there are thous-
and at least in this city who spend So
600, or 500 a week. and there are sew
eral score who spend from $4,000 to
$25,000, and some few spend $50, 900. }"
Mrs. Elbridge L. Gerry, writes the
fashion fiend of the Philadelphia Press,
is a woman who never dresses t1ashily,
and yet is known for the great good
taste displayed in the selection of her
costumes, for which she must annually
pay thousands. The Vanderbilts be-
fore they were in mourning were ex-
tremely fashionably dressed, and even
now, though wearing black, their cos
tunes are marked with the stamp of
elegant splendor which has always
characterized their wearing apparel.
Mrs. August Belmont, ST., and her
daughter-in-law dress very elaborate
ly. The former is the wife of the
agent of the Rothschilds in this city.
Mrs. Belmont'S gowns and jewels are
the envy of all her friends. Another
woman who spends large sums on her
costumes is Mrs. Henry Clews, wife of
the banker. She is worth enough
money to enable her to buy herself a
new dress every day in the year if she
so desires. Mrs. Pierre Lorillard's
dresses are described as poems. The
beautiful widow Hammersley spends
fortune in dresses every II months.
So does Mrs. Hicks-Lord. Mrs. Rob-
ert Hoe, wife of the famous press-mak-
er, buys a good many dresses abroad.
She has one for every day in the year.
Miss Adele Grant, who was engaged
to be married to Earl Garmoyle, is one
of the best costumed of the younger
members of society here. Mrs. G. E.
Dodge, one of the most charming wom-
en- in New York society, always dresses
in exquisite good taste. Mrs. Delaney
Kane's costumes, too, are most becom-
ing to that lady. And so we talked
on. A score of others could be men
toned, but as they are all in the $10,-
900 J ear list it goes without saying
that they are properly appareled.
The person who makes most of the
dresses for New York ladies is man
tailor from London. A good many
costumes come from abroad, but the
bulk of the clothing for New York
women is made here.

Afraid of High-Priced Feed.

The following article on the effect
of the advance in the price OF feed
was written for the locality of Pitts
burgh, Pa, but it applies to other
places as well, except as to hay, of
which the supply with us is not likely
TO be short or the price very high.
1t is from the National StOckmun
and Farmer, which by the way is
one of the best live stock and farm
Journals that we have ever seen:
1t is only natural that when corn,
bay and other feeds are high, or adj
vancing, farmers should be some
what chary about keeping up their
usual volume of feeding; and par
ticularly is this the case when prices
for fat stock have been low and eX
tremely slow and disappointing III
starting toward improvement. In
such times the farmer feels disposed
to curtail his necessary stock to the
smallest safe numbers and he is of
course still less inclined to feed eX-
tensively for the fat stock markets.
And vet it is not true that the best
profits on beef, pork and mutton In
this country have been made when
the grain and rough feed from which
they were manufactured were COM
paratively costly? Those who have
watched the live srock trade for a
term of years know this to be the
case. Costly feed must in a short
time enhance the value of the prod
ucts made from it-as those feed
ING high-priced provender will after
a while see.
There is one very general misap-
prehension in regard to this very
point and that is that the cost of
making beef, for instance, is increas-
ed exactly in proportion to given
advance in corn and hay. 1t must
not be forgotten that economy of
method in feeding is generally prac-
ticed at such times, and that there
is a,great saving right here in the
cost of production. The average
man will perhaps save from one
fourth to one-third when he really
gets down to economizing in a bus
iness-like way, and finds that he
can do so without detriment to the
weight, and often to the improve
ment of the quality, of the stock
which he markets. Increasing the
cost of feed almost invariably prompts
an increase in the variety, and this
in turn is positive step toward bet
tering the product. Taking this in
to consideration, together with the
pleasant consequences if one has
surplus feed to sell at such times,
renders such prices as are now ruling
for corn and hay by no means I'M
mixed evils to the farming commun-
ity. OF course to buy feed outright
at present prices for feeding purposes
is a matter which should be weighed
most carefully; yet there is hardly
ground for as much fear of high
priced feed as generally prevails in
times of short crops.-Er.

The Coming Trouble

A correspondent of the Springfield
RepubIicaa raises a warning note, as
so many others have done, because
of the wholesale cutting off Of the
forests from the western Massachn-
sets hills. He saws that this elm
nation has been carried to such an
extent that black ash is exceedingly
scarce, and only in a few cases can
a fair-sized walnut grove be found.
The average farmer has need for
money now and then, and he will, as
the easiest way to acquire it, go into
his lot and cut stuff that will sell the
most readily, culling his land for the
very best. Not many months since
nearly all the salable white beech
timber in several western Franklin
county towns was culled out simply
because of a ready market. Nat
urallv, the owners of sugar orchards
cling to them, although whole groves
of rock naples have been cut, for
they make the best stove wood for
winter use and it commands the high
est price. The Turner's Falls pulp
mill provides a market for popular
wood, which has been culled from
far and near, and white birch is in
some degree being used for the man
ufacture of pulp. The east hill lot
on the Vincent farm at Heath, is to
be cleared of it's hundreds of cords
of wood and timber this fall and
winter by contract, and still the work
of cutting and slashing the timber
and wood goes on.
Mark the result of all this. The
past season has been mainly dry
one on the hills. Little mountain
streams have dried up; wells and
springs have failed in many instan-
ces to flow water sufficient for house
hold purposes. Pastures on the hill
sides and among the mountains have
succumed to the drought. The dry
weather, coupled with the lack of
shade, has caused woful lack of
moisture, and no wonder that land
is dry and water courses are but beds
of stone.

The Cavalier.

In many bosoms my true sword hath been:
In many lands I've watched the dying day;
In many lands drank anjou and tokay,
And many women kissed, both stout and lean.
I've fought for King and country and the
Queen:
To gain my ends I've found or made way.
Nor have / sought or Shirked bloody fray
Since the sod and Heaven was cast between.
And yet you see the hot tears in my eyes,
For / have loved the farest of her sex.
And have been loved by her. o Godl until
I dreamed | walked through fields in Paradise;
Until | saw two kiss each others necks
shes dead, he's dying back there in Seville!

In the other barn where the same
breed of cattle were being fed with
precisely the same kind of fodder,
we asked the man if he had any
trouble in making his cattle eat the
stalks, and he said: "No, they don't
leave as many as | want for the
pigs" Cattle and swine would eat
them as greedily as they would po-
tatoes. The secret is, do not feed
too often or too much at time. =

Mrs. A. L. Potter, a cofrespon-
dent of the Rural World, has handled
butter for more than thirty-five years.
During the past ten years she has
had no trouble with white specks.
She attributes this to sswater setting"
for the milk. She advises those who
have to use ''dry setting to cover
the milk as soon as it has sufficiently
cooled, or to place pans or crooks
of water among the vessels contain
ing the milk, or to wiring cloths from
cold water and hang around the
milk. She claims that anything that
will keep the air moist will prevent
the cream from becoming dry.

A. doctors disagree, so our best In

but the available supply Of good beet

less than that Of the same period In
1857. Hence. II only tile good lie put
on the market values must and will
advance.
The danger lies in the fear that hun.
dreds Of thousands OF cows and uuripe
cattle will be sent to the market CEN
tiers. Last year half a million bearing
cows, oil In thin flesh, were sent to
the shambles and these. supplemented
by other hundreds and thousands Of
poor young steers, kept the market al
ways glutted aud values below the
cost OF production. Range conditions
now, taking the country all over, In.
dictate no unusual run OF thin steers

Is still possessed Of more cattle than

this season something must be done
10 get rid Of the she cattle and stop the

thousand Texas cows on the market
during the year prices will be held
