WINTER FORAGE.
A Georgian's Experience in Providing
Stock Food for Winter.

A Georgian's Experience in Providing
Stock Food for Winter.
During the last eighteen years, l
have, from time to time, tried to make
hay of pea vines, but have never yet
succeeded in making a good article.
Either they mold or the leaves fall of,
leaving only stems that nothing will
eat. / have tried various plans Of cur
ing them, in fact, nearly every plan
that l have read of. i generally cut
them when they begin to bear, and be-
fore any pods have ripened. ! have
become quite skeptical as to the posi-
bility Of turning pea vines into good
cured forage.
l have had scarcely better success
with fodder-corn. The stalks, when set
up in shocks, gradually bend down until
most OF the fodder is spoilt. They do
not have the requisite stiffness. Last
year had good deal of it, and took
the trouble to drive stakes in the ground
over the field, in order to hold the fod-
der up When / hauled it up found it
almost worthless. would much rather
depend on crab-grass or German millet
than either pea-vines or corn, and think
January oats superior to either. Why
should any one bother with such bulky,
unmanageable stuff as corn-stalks, when
oats can be had. The rust oat sown in
January and assisted with 200 pounds
cotton-seed meal and 100 pounds acid
phosphate per acre, will make large
amount of excellent forage, and there is
no difficulty about curing it, and it does
not take an acre of house room to hold
it. 1t seems strange to me that people
overlook oats in their anxious quest for
something to feed cows and mules on in
winter. / have about half an acre of
red clover and orchard grass, sown in
February of last year. 1t is now yield.
ing a large amount Of excellent forage.
l cut it about 10 a. m. and let it lie till
night, when it is fed to my COWS and
mules. For hogs, feed it freshly cut.
Mules, cows and hogs seem never to get
enough of it. l am now cutting it for
hay; am SO we'll pleased with it that l
intend sowing more next fall-A. @

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
What This and Other Famous statue
Have Probably Cost,

Have Probably Cost,
The famous Colossus OF Rhodes which
was made of bronze and was seventy
cubits Tor about one hundred and five
feet) in height, was twelve years in
making, and is said to have cost only
500 talents, or about e75,O00, If we
reckon the Attic talent, or s102, 900 if
we reckon the other talent, and proba-
bly, the other talent is to be reckoned in
this case. At all events, the so-called
Colossus of the Sun. in the Capitol,
which was bronze figure of Appolla,
only thirty cubits-or forty-five feet
English-high, brought by Marcus Luz
cullus from Appollonia, in Pontus, cost
five hundred talents, which, if reckoned
even as Attic talents, would be over
Ri25, 900. and it would hardly be proba-
BILE that the Colossus of Rhodes, which
was twice its height, could have been
executed for so much less. But this is
trifie compared to the price paid for a
colossal statue of Mercury, made for the
city OF Averni, in Gaul, by Zenodorus.
On this work he was engaged for ten
years and the cost of it was e335, 600.
What the gold and ivory Athena of
Phidias in the Parthenon, or his Zeus at
Olympia cost is stated by any ancient
author. The gold employed on the NOV
able drapery alone of the Athena was
over forty talents in weight of unalloyed
gold, according to Thucydides, whose
exactness in such matters is above sus-
picious. This would be equivalent to
some s116, 900 in coin. while single
lock on the head OF the Zeus at Olympia
weighed six nina, or about the value Of
nearly $4,000. For the famous statue Of
Diadumenos, which was bronze figure
of life size, representing youth tying
q fillet round his head, Polycleitus re-
ceived 100 talents, or about G25, 900.

bic as for cattle feed.
But it remained for a farmer of She
goober State, Mr.. q. ]. Green, Of Toe
COO, Ca. to make the discovery that
roasted cotton seed is one of the very
best and cheapest hog feeds Southern
farmer can get Like many valuable
discoveries, it was the result of acci-
dent. Mr.. Green had building
burned down some years ago. in which
were stored several hundred bushels of
cotton-seed. '.Mnch of it." says he,
twas burned, but large amount Of it
was only fairly roasted. Icould not keep
the hogs from it. and they seemed very
fond of the roasted seed, although was
told that it would surely kill them But
it did not; the hogs throve on it and
came up at Christmas time as fat and
fine as any u my neighbors' hogs that
had been Fed entirely on corn. This
gave me an idea which did not at once
profit by; but year or two later l met
at the first Atlanta Exposition gen.
tleman who was very familiar with the
East India cotton crop. ! was surprised
when he assured me that all cotton seed
was roasted like coffee before It was fed
to any animal or ground into meal
Mr.. Green then went to work expert
menting, and, after sundry trials. at
last made rooster which suited him.
He says he now feeds roasted cotton
seed meal. the seed being ground in q
common five-dollar hand mill, to all his
stock-horses, cattle and hogs He as
sured me that he can make just as much
pork from one hundred pounds 81
