There Is enough nutriment in corn

ground with the ears, and in fattening
tile this kind OF food is very econom-
ical. Horses will eat much food with
avidity, and it must be masticated, il
is better digested than even chopped
grain is. The use of corn in this form
saves the labor OF husking.

No farmer can afford to be without a
fodder cutter. and where ITO head OF
stock are kept, horse power grinding

Once upon a time, where oxen and IL
horses were fed. the use OF a cutter and
a mill saved one-third OF the hay and
grain the first winter. This was equal
to the feeding Of oxen and horses
for nothing. Such saving makes the
difference between profit and loss.

ABOUT OLD OCEAN.
The Sea Covers the Greater Portion OF tho
Earth.

The sea occupies three-fourths OF
the surface OF the earth. At the
depth OF 3, 800 feet, waves are not felt

the burning sun OF the equator. A

age depth OF the ocean to be three
miles, there would be- layer of pure
salt $50 feet on the bed OF the Atlantic.
The water is colder at the bottom
than at the surface. In the many bays
on the coast Of Norway the water often
freezes at the bottom before it does

To look at y in storm one would

these waves are forty feet high, and
travel fifty miles an hour-more than
twice as fast as the swiltest steamship.
The distance from valley to valley

hence wave five feet high will ex-

The force OF the sea dashing on Bell

wonderful power in drawing water

A Naval Problem.

Secretary Tracy is discovering
that it costs money to keep even new
war ships in a state of repair. The
bottoms of the new steel ships ara
already getting foul with marine
growths, and corrosion is makingi its
first inroads. The Secetary therefore
proposes the building of a fresh
water basin somewhere near New
York, where the war ships may lie
idle when their services are not re-
quired, without becoming rust-eaten
and covered with barnacles. The
idea is like the suggestion OF glass
kennel for our dogs of war, and
might be taken as clever bit OF
irony: for if we try to keep pace in
the building of big ships with the
great powers of Europe we will find
that after we have secured tormid-
able navy of the heavy type it will
take a formidable sum annually to
keep the ships in repair. Secretary
Tracy seems to have overlooked the
fact that we have naval station in
fresh water at League Island, q short
distance below Philadelphia.

A Muscular Parsor.
Montreal Empire.


A marriage has just taken place
In Montreal attended by a chain OF
circumstances OF the most curious
character, and although tits thought
better to withhold the names at
present, they can be given ut mo.
ments notice. 1t appears that a GER
tain young man moving in good So
ciety made the acquaintance of O
lady Of equal rank in the social scale,
and before very long the relations
of the young couple were OF the most
intimate kind. 1t was understood
between monsieur and mademoiselle
that they were to be married at
quite an early date, but at the APP
pointed time the youth, like many
before him, failed to come to time,
although the pastor who was to have
performed the marriage ceremony
had repaired to the home OF the
bride-elect. Friends on both sides
advised an expostulated with
the tickle young gentleman,
but all in vain. The minister from
day to day urged him to honor his
solemn engagement and make his
fiancee happy. He was, however, of
hastv temperament and resolved to
be square with the divine, who is a
highly respected and well-known
clergyman of tho west end. Oneeven.
ing he met the reverend gentleman,
and saying that he had something
particular to say to him, invited the
divine to his room, located not far
from Beaver Hall hill. The minister,
thinking that his friend had recon-
sidered the question of marriage,
complied at once with theinvitation,
but no sooner did he pass the TIRES
hold OF the young mans room than
he was set upon and treated to one
or two blows from the formers fists.
"This is your game, cried the sur
prised but in no way frightened min
istcr. "Well, we will see i'll have for
gotten the boxing lessons took dur
ing my college days." and with this
remark the black coat was of, and the
young fellow was treated to the
worst pounding he had ever expe-
renced in his life. In TACT the clergy
man handled him so roughly that
he had to go to the hospital to get
n couple of black eyes attended tn.
When asked if he had any charges
to make against his assailant, he
replied, "No sir; / attempted to lick
a minister, and he punched the
'stutIin' out OF me in return"
When the gentleman in question left
the hospital the long-delayed nup-
tials were consummated, and the
minister in question was the hero of
the day and the warm friend CT the
happy couple. "AlPs well that ends
WE'LL" said the young lady's father,
as happy party OF ladies and gents
seated themselvs to magnificent
wedding breakfast.

HOW Often shall Fesd2

One important item in feeding all
kinds of stock is regularity, and stock
will hake better growth if care is
taken to feed at regular hours with
less feed than il no care Is taken in
this respect. This brings up the
question of how often it will pay the
best to feed either growing or fatten-
ing stock.
Fattening poultry ought to be fed at
least five times a day, giving the first
feed very early in the morning and
the last one just before they 90 to
roost at night, and the other three
times at intervals during the day. II
hogs are well fed generally on the
farm twice day will be sufficient
On the average farm there are so
many contingencies that my arise to
prevent regular feeding at stated hours
that care must be taken to feed at
regular hours and to give them all
that they will eat up clean at each
meal. The dinner feed Is good meal
If it can be supplied regularly, but If
not the better plan will be to
only feed twice day My plan OF
ieeding hogs. says Wisconsin corre-
spondent, is TO give swill feed, STOP.
first made either with bran or ship
stuff, or both, and allowed to stand
twelve hours. give all OF this kind
of slop they will drink first and then
feed the grain. My experience is that
in majority OF cases 1t will pay to
purchase mill feed in this way. The
less grain required to fatten will make
it profitable. never like to feed Stops
after feeding grain, there is much
larger per cent Of the food that will
remain undigested and pass through
the animal without benefit.
The same holds good with cattle as
with hogs. Feeding three times day
will be found the best, provided 1t can
be done regularly, but If this is not
readily possible 1t will be better to feed
twice, taking care to see that they are
given all that they can eat. With cat
tic, however, have always found it an
advantage in fattening to give corn
fodder with hay to eat during the day.
Give them all tire grain necessary
morning and evening, with a supply Of
roughness in addition. Make it
point, however, to feed at regular
hours and not oblige the stock to wait
for their meals. If the work on the
farm is such that three meals can be
given regularly it will be better to feed
tho tree times, dividing this equally,
as better gain on the same amount OF
feed can be secured than when only
two meals are supplied.

Deeper Planting of Potatoes.

II the coming season could only be
foreknown it would be much easier to
make exact rules for tina bsst ways OF
conducting farm operations. 1t is gen
orally agreed that in times of drought,
or on land subject to it, potatoes planted
four, five or even six inches deep thrive
beller and suffer less than those planted
at shallower depths. Nine times out
OF ten the only evil that ever befel the
potatoes came from drought. Even
the very early potatoes may often SUI
fer from too shallow planting, while
we never knew, except in one or two
cases, on heavy, undraiued ground,
potatoes to be injured by too deep
planting. OF course, deep planting
alone is not sufficient to insure a crop,
but 1t is powerful aid to good cultiva-
ton. II the potato be set in the ground
deeply the harrow may be used freely
TO destroy the weeds before the top APP
pears above the surface. Besides,
with deep planting there is not the
need OF piling earth around the hills,
or as it is usually called chilling up
to keep the potatoes from "burning."
The tubers will not always set as deep
ly as the seed is planted, but they will
not grow out of the ground aud turn
green in the sun, as they usually do
when planted shallow and hilled up.
