HOW BEST TO USE FODDER.

The hay crop is scarce in some parts of
the country; corn fodder, like the poor,
is always with us. Now, learn how to
use that fodder to the best advantage. If
you have silo, cut the fodder short and
put it in. This is undoubtedly the best
plan now known, but if you have no
silos and the chances are about one in a
thousand only that you have such a
''modern improvement" then cut the
fodder and shock it in the field the best
you know how and can afford. Take
good care to GO through the field every
week and set up or haul to the barn all
the shocks that show an inclination to
fall apart or get otherwise injured. There
is no economy of the farm like carefully
looking after things, and this is particu-
larly the case with corn fodder in year
when hay is scarce and high.-American

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
How TO MAKE AN Eaa-TEsTER.

Take a piece of leather five inches
wide and six inches long. Now bring
the edges together with the dark side
of leather inside) and sew them, and it is
ready for use. Take the egg to be
tested, hold it up to a bright light, place
the eye at the other end and you see ex-
actly what condition the egg is in. The
leather adjusts itself to the egg SO as to
exclude all the light. Another good
point in its favor is that there is no dan.
ger of breaking the egg by accidentally
letting the tester fall or by striking the
egg against it.

ENs1LAeE AT 81 PER TON.

In regard to the cost of harvesting and
storing foods for ensilage, Professor Hay
ward, of the Maryland Experiment Sta
ton, says: An accurate record was kept
of the cost of harvesting and storing of
forty-five tons, put into the silo in three
days, beginning the 18th of September.
The force employed was as follows: porta-
BILE engine, power cutter, one two-mule
cart, one single cart, one mule hauling
fuel and water for engine (making four
mules), one foreman, one engineer and
fireman, two drivers, three corn cutters,
two men at cutting machine, one man
packing in silo and ono boy helper on
water cart.
The items of cost were these: Hire of
engine and engineer three days, at 81
per day, S12; fuel, IS; teams and manual
labor, in all $46. 40; putting cover and
weights on silo, So, total, S64, 40, or 81. .4S
per ton. 1t was estimated that the tan.
gled condition of the corn in the field
fully doubled the labor of cutting and
loading it. Had the feed cutter
been larger the same engine and
fuel could have doubled the quantity Gu,
per day, although another cart would
have been needed in hauling. 1t is easy
to see how these improvements might
have reduced the cost of storing per tor
to about one dollar. The season fol
growing and cultivating the crop was SC
exceptional, and the crop itself SO small
that no computation was made as to cost
of production to time of harvest. These
figures, il recorded, would not apply tt
an average season. But it may be roughl,
stated that the cost of making the crop
exclusive of harvesting, need never ex
ceed 81 per ton.

FARM ANDsaARDENa MOTIFS.


Keep the ywagonewell creased.
Neglect is,the worst weedson farm.
Prepare ground well forwinter wheat.
Manure onsland is, concentrated ,activi-
ty.
Always haveNa hitching post at your
door.
Long evenings coming read and
study.
If you work early and late, rest at
midday.
Buy nothing you can produce as
cheaply.
Put the manure whereA it will3do the
most good.
Always plan tosave labor andsthereby
reduce cost.
The market is seldom overstocked
with the best.
Have you done all you CANTOR your
fowls comfort.
The best time to do a,thingsis before
it is actually needed.
Do everything in the simplest and
most sensible manner.
Better pay good price fortseed than
use poor if given you.
Getting money out of dirt is dirty
business, but it is honest.
Have you made your plans for.next
yeara 1t is time youihad.
During the rainy days repair theitools,
oil the harness and fix up the constable.
Remember that one of the most.impor-
tant cares of the farm is the care of
health.
Add the uncounted comforts to the
money income before you say the farm
does not pay.
When threshingttake good care of the
straw. Bright, clean straw is better for
bedding as we'll as for feeding.
If you have nothing better, lay in
good supply of dry earth|to use as an alb
sorbent in your stables when needed.
Many diseases of the horses feet are
due to wearing shoes too long time.
Knock off the shoes during vacation.
Apply lime whitewash,in your stables,
your hen-house, your pig-pen and every
where that insects can lay. their nits.
When you dig your potatoes, dry
them before storing, but do not expose
them to the sun, if you can avoid it.
This is good time to open up the
bitches or to put in tile from that sink
hole that makes ugly jogs in all your
work.
1t is bad plan to clean out the poul-
try houses and throw the refuse just out
side the door. Barrel at once and put
under cover.
Clear away the masses of foul stuff
around the trunks of your fruit trees.
They are harbors for vermin and in
| furious insects.
Eggs are the most marketable product
that the farm yields. They are ready
for the market the minute they are laid,
and the sooner they are gotten to market
the better.
A solitary yellow-dock, burdock or
mustard plant is best preserved by being
carefully cut off close to the ground,
gently carried to the house and con-
signed to the kitchen stove just before
the water boils in the tea-kettle.
Commencing to breed high class
fowls, solely with the object of making
money from them, is the rock on which
many an enthusiastic beginner has split.
Profit must always be secondary con-
sideration at the outset. 1t means hard
work and plenty of it for year or more;
the profits come later if you only stick.
An item in making the most of the
corn crop is to begin feeding the fatten-
ing stock early. Under average condi-
tions the moderately cool weather in the
fall is the best time to fatten stock, and
with good, thrifty stock much better
gain can then be made in proportion to
the ouantitv OF food supplied than at
