Handling Grain Unbound.

A farmer writing to The Farm and Fire
side reports as bellows I have put up my
oats loose for three or four years, and /
find it far cheaper than to bind either by
hand or by machine. The way put
mine up is to cut with self rake ma
chine, follow after, gather it up and
shock 1t. Two men can follow machine
md shock TO good advantage. Set the
grain up on the butt end, the same as
bound grain. If a man hires his grain
out, he will pay 10 cents per acre for a
binder to cut the grain, and nothing less
than 30 cents per acre, and often 45, for
Irvine, and 80 cents Tor shocking, in all
s1.B. You can get your grain cut with
a self rake for 90 cents per acre, and the
grain set up in shocks for 80 cents, SO
there is saving Of 90 cents per acre. u
can be stacked and threshed just az
cheaply. Loose grain shocked in this
way win stand moro wet weather than
bound grain.

A Great Misfortune.

The heavy fall rains very often totally ruin
crops in many localities, and its effect is then
seen in diseases among poultry and farm ami
mails. Almost every day cases o roup, swelled
head and II distemper very disastrous among
poultry are reported. a part of this is also
due to improper feeding. Many persons think
as soon as cold weather comes ON, they must
begin to feed heating food to their hens, like
IL they do not break down from the diseases
prevalent, they soon get very fat, look fine and
people wonder why they do not lay. You can

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
Some Examples of Successful Farming In
Vermont.

II. G.. Tolles of Weathersfeld Centre can
be marked in this list. He is over 70 years
of age, but is still hale and hearty and looks
after his business with all the vigor of 90
years.
lie was one of family of four brothers
who were born not far from the place he
now occupies. As the boys became of age
each one was given farm as a start in life.
The old farm on which this one got his start
is now owned by another party as a portion
of another farm,
Mr.. Tolles worked out at S12 per month
until he laid aside about $1,000, which was
loaned out to whoever gave good security.
Meanwhile he worked his farm judiciously
and brought up to high state OF cultiva-
ton. He afterwards sold and bought the
one where he now lives.
His farm now consists of $50 acres. His
crops this year comprise 80 tons of hay;
300 baskets Of corn; 273 bushels of OATS
some potatoes and apples. His method Of
farming is somewhat different from that of
farmers educated in the generations since
he was young. He feeds little or no grain,
but sells it for cash. He buys no fertilizer,
yet makes good use of what is made on his
farm. Contrary to the scientific exposi-
tons laid down by theorists his farm grows
give the lie to some he is all the time loan
ing money and taking chattel mortgages on
the property of those farmers about him
who buy grain and fertilizers in quaint
ties. The question is knotty one for the
novice to answer, yet tho facts remain as
stated.
The stock now on the place consists of
eight or 10 cattle, including the working
oxen; two hogs; 1875 sheep and two horses.
His methods of farming are similar to all
hereabouts. His breaking up is done in the
fall. Sometimes the accumulated manure
is plowed under, but more often it is spread
on the surface and narrowed in, after which
a liberal shovelful is put in the hill. 1t is
old fashioned in the eyes of some, but in
years he has not failed to secure large crop.

The gentleman owns the largest number

Experiments in Feeding Pigs.

The object of some experiments made
at the Kentucky experiment station was
to determine the relative values Of
shelled corn, corn meal and corncob
meal for fattening purposes, and the
length of time these feeds would produce
pork at paying figure, In these trials
it was found that cornmeal does not
fatten SO well as does shellcd corn.
heterogeneous food produced less flesh but
a more hardy development than did non
heterogeneous foods. The following is
brief summary of the results:
Shelled corn produces fat more rapidly
than other feeds tested.
Corn produces fat at a cheaper rate
than other feeds tested.
Shelled corn produced pork ut profit
for sixty-three days. Cornmeal pro-
duced pork at profit FOR sixty-three
days. Corncob meal produced pork at a
profit for ffty-four days.
The Chester Whites fattened more
readily than the Thin Kinds on tho same
quality Of food.
The niGrogenous foods produced so
little gain in live weight shat it may be
attributed to growth and not to fattening.
Cotton seed meal could not be fed
proftably.
Much corncob meal was wasted in
feeding, being picked over and refused.
The pigs fed on nitrogenous foods
were so much stronger than the others
that they caused them serious injury
when turned out to run together.
OF the heterogeneous foods tested, that
of cornoob meal and ship stuff in equal
parts was the cheapest.

His use of his money is a worthy exam
pie for all wealthy men to follow. He is
always willing to help poor man who has
been unfortunate, and many a Woodworking
man has him to thank for his present pros
perity and ownership of home. Mr. Tolles
says of the poor men that he never yet lost
one cent by loaning money to them. He is
always ready to aid any worthy charity,
and is one of the foremost in providing
means for religious and educational privi-
lcges. His is an ideal old age.

The veins are sluggish streams
Inc tenant OF the playhouse cries.

This fearful IazaFuZ death
Oh, what shall raise him from the dead
And strip the door OF Grape,
and Danish ghosts OF morbid dread,
And put the halls in shape2
Throw Ope the windows toward the eaE

And lead 1t forth unto the feast,
Where sparkles Bethlehem's starr
Two sisters, Love and Duty, stand
To loose the prison doors;
To Hood with sunshine LIES fair land,
And fringe with gold It's shores.
Oh, Love, sweet miracle divine
Light up this house of clay;
IN every nook and corner irvine
Thy sympathies TODAY
Then shall the sunbeams kiss the hills,
Ihe valleys green and fair;
And music run like ripping TiIIs
Through all the fragrant air.
Then sW eeter than the song OF bird
When hears its mate the call,
The harmony triumphant heard
In tn hearts great music ha1I.

With pearls and diamonds on his breast,
And words of glad surprise,
To bless the poor with wealth unguessed,
To make the foolish wise.

And flowers and fruits shall grow;
With plenty, peace, and happiness
The land shall overflow
The darkened chambers OF the soul
Shall glow with holy light,
And truth the stone Of error roll

Movement Of Shot When Fired.

IF man could only stand thirty or
forty yards away from the muzzle Of
the gun and watch the charges Of shot
fly past him, he would be astonished at
what he saw. The shot not only
spreads out into a widening target as
they fly, but they string out one behind
the other TO a much greater distance
than they spread. Thus, with a cylinder
gun, when the first shot Of q charge
reach g target that is forty yards away
the last shot are Tagging along ten
yards behind. Even with a choke bored
gun the shot lag behind eight yards in
forty. This accounts for the long swath
that is moved IN q flock Of ducks on
whom the charge Of shot fall just right.
About 3 per cent. only of the charge of
shot arrive simultaneously at the target,
but the balance of the first half of the
charge is so close behind that a birds
muscles are not quick enough to get
it out OF the way, slthough those who
have watched sitting birds when shot
at have often seen them start as If to
fly when the leading shot whistles by
them, only to drop dead as they were

lowed. Neg York Sala3.

upon the steps of wealth is that it can
never be sure of It's friends. There is

high positions. Gall men shall praise
thee when thou doest well for thyseIf. 3"
