A Mean Disease.

Alexandra has them like every
other town with less than 1000
inhabitants. We mean gosslps-
men and women who would rath-
er talk about other people than to
eat pie. Shame on the man or
woman, who, without any direct
evidence whatever, endeavors by
words or insinuations to ruin the
character of other people.
The writer has long since heard
that the greatest enemy woman
has is women, and how can those
who have the gossip rstailcd out
by certain feminine gossips dis.
pute il? tits a fact.
Everp chronic gossip, woman or
man, should have her or his name
published to the world through
the public press, so they could be
avoided or strictly guaranteed
against. There Is only one differ.
ence between tie yellow fever ep-
idemlc and The gossip epidemic.
One attacks the body and the per
son attacked has good chance of
recovering. Gossip attacks the
character, and there is no chance
OF recovery, because the victim
seldom knows that he or she is at
tackled and can make no defence.
If a woman. the yellow fever is far
preferable to having a score of wo-
men gossips trying to ruin her
character.
Women should be more charita-
bile, especially to those OF her own

Saving Corn-Fodder.

The slipshod methods of car
ing for corn fodder have much
to do with the aversion to it.
Many farmers never bind the
shocks, and a large number OF
them twist and fall down, and
the fodder is quickly spoiled.
Others leave them in the field
all winter, hauling in one Or
two at a time as needed, and
naturally rats and mice gather
in them and destroy much OF
the grain. When they are CO.
vered with snow the hauling is
such a disagreeable job that
only natural necessity will in
duce any one to undertake it.
The shocks should not. be
over twelve or fourteen hills
square, and should be firmly
bound near the tops with strong
Irvine about the third day after
being cut ; then they will stand
straight and the fodder will
keep bright aud good for a long
time. IIusking should begin
as soon as the fodder is fairly
cured, and the fodder hauled
in and stored under shelter at
once. Some bind it in handy
bundles with binder Irvine as
it is husked, and when this is
done it is easily handled and
stored. The Irvine IS saved
when the fodder is fed out, and
serves for two or three seasons.
Many of those who have no
shed room for storing fodder
Gall it needs is a roof bind
each shock into two or three
bundles, haul them home and
stack in single rows, Or ricks
about foot apart, so the air
can circulate between them,
each lick being laid On a foun-
dation of two or three rail rest
ing on blocks about a foot high.
The bundles are unbound as
they are placed en- the rick
and spread out as desired. A
post set in the ground at each
end of the ricks holds the end
up square. When the ricks
are built up as high as conven-
lent they are covered with a
little prairie grass or hay,
which keeps all rain from soak
