animals they are the best grain food
that can be given to them.


A necessary precaution in the manage
ment Of flock 10 to use gates instead
of bars, to all Enclosures used by the
sheep and lambs. To let down bars at
one end frequently causes broken leg,
the sheep stepping between the bars and
getting fast, fracture the bone in efforts
to free themselves. When such an acci-.
dent happens, the injury may be easily
remedied by wrapping the broken limb
with stiff paper, wetted and dipped in .
thin paste OF plaster Of paris. This Is
wrapped in bandage of cloth treated
in the same way and fastened with strips
tied around it. In IN hour the plaster
sets and the bandage becomes stiff and
firm. The bone thus supported heals in
three or four weeks. Broken legs OF
poultry may be thus meuded, and larger
animals may be treated in the same way
if supported in slings until the bone
unites. Thus it is not necessary to kill
valuable animal when it is thus dis
abled

grow eloquent upon any subject it
would be in regard to the immense val
ne Of their services, rendered at mar
tyr-like self-immolation, in behalf of
the men who, facing the foe, had yet
the easier task, and for the preserva-
ton of the Union.
But the women of the South we're
not less enthusiastic and unselfsh in
giving up all they held dear for what
they believed the right, and the story
of one Of these brave daughters of the
South is such glorious exemplifca-
tion of true woman's wit and real
American "pluck" that we all can, es-
pecially as a reunited nation, take
pride in her courage, her persistence,
and triumphs.
The daughter of this brave woman
was girl when her father left his
beautiful home in Des Arc, a small
town on the White River, in Arkansas,
to take part with the Confederates in
the war. Almost Immediately after
the attack on Fort Sumter their Sec
tion was made skirmishing ground
for the contending armies and forag-
ing-feld for both. Though the father
had made generous provision for his
family before departure. he could not
foresee events, and the defenseless ones
left behind were soon stripped of all
their possessions by lawless bands call
ing themselves, as they saw fit, bush
whackers" or "jayhawkers, sometimes
one name, sometimes the other, adopt
ing either as it would give them the
excuse of appearing as enemies of those
they plundered.
One day, a soldier on flrlough rode
up to the house and called: "Hulloo /"
and the mother appeared, behind her
every animate being on the place,
eager for news.
"Are you Mrs. - ?" he asked, when
she reached the gate.
II am"
"Then, Mrs. I have some bad
news for you. Your husband was
wounded at the siege of Port Hud.
son."
"Was he seriously hurt?" was the
anxious question.
Eyes, very. The fact is, madam, he
is missing he was killed"
A merciful swoon gave short OBJ
ivion to the afflicted lady, but she re-
covered to spend hours of anguish such
as only loving hearts can endure and
live.
That night there was another

Deeper and deeper the family were
plunged into poverty, and at last they
had nothing to live upon but what
could be cleaned from the deserted
camps Of Union soldiers. Then tht
mother determined to Join her hus

part Of the State, and in charge Of the

Enslage for sheep.

At an ensilage convention recently
held in Ohio, J. w. Pierce, of Indiana,
gave his experience as to the value of
ensilage for sheep as follows: Last
August, when We started out on the cir
cult of the fairs through our State, which
lasted about eight weeks, We took five
coal oil barrels and burned them out on
the inside, drove to the field and got
clover and ran it through the cutter, three
eighths of an inch in length, and put it
into those coal oil barrels, using an or
dinary building jack-screw and pressing
it down very firmly. Alter that was done
we headed those barrels up and rolled
them out to one end of the barn and
covered them lightly with horse manure.
We allowed them to remain there about
thirty days. In shipping our sheep out
through the State for exhibition puf-
poses we took along with us those lar
rels of ensilage. which was clover in
bloom or nearly SO, second crop. From
|. the feeding value of that we concluded
to fill our silo last year, and also this,
with clover, and it has proven ~ery bene-
fetal to us and very economical way OF
filing.
Our method this year was to put in
one of the pits the whole clover, one
ton, and then take pulverized charcoal
and sprinkle that over the clover, the
same as we would sprinkle SO many green
hides with salt. One of the other pits
wps filled with equal parts of corn alone.
We fed from two OF those pits. We
| find from experience that the clover and
corn fed in equal parts with other food
is better for stock than to feed either
one, corn or clover, exclusively.
Mr.. Mock-Did you feed any corn en-
silagep
Mr.. Pierce-Yes, sir, / have for three
years. I remember two years ago the
corn was considerably smutty;and in oui
rush to get it out of the weather we al
lowed more or less of tbatsmut TO go in.
and by sprinkling this pulverized char
coal it seemed to destroy that, and il
| took away the limburger odor that was
spoken OF this afternoon. That odor
disappeared, and DR.. Stockbridge, Of
our experiment station, attributes it to
that So conclude that we will in the
future, in filing our silos, treat each
layer of ensilage to light Bprinkling
| of pulverized charcoal. Our method oi
furnishing the charcoal was to dig o pit
build slow fire in it,fillwith corn cobs
and cover the cobs with about half {
foot of earth, and when we got ready tc
use it we had charcoal far superior tc
wood, and much cheaper. The stock al
eat it. The charcoal is mixed in a pul
verized state. 7 put about q peck o.
charcoal to ton of either fodder o
i clover.

Corn Ensilags for BeeE


At the Ontario Agricultural College
experiments have been made with corn
ensilage as food for makingbeef with
the following summary of results: l.
That shipping sseers can be fed at fair
profit with prices of grain as at present.
when of good types, when they are pur-
chased at reasonable rates and whore
there are suitable facilities for feeding.
2. That corn ensilaRe and meal will
fatten as effectively and as cheaply as q
ration of roots, hay and meal, and with
q less expenditure of labor. 3. That
steers tasted twelve hours by simply
turning them into a yard at night will
shrink from sixty to seventy pounds
each. A. That with food at present
prices, such as that used above, steers
weighing from 1900 to 1,500 pounds
can be made to gain on an averag 1.SOl
pounds per day, and at an average cost
of 21.053 cents per day for the food fed.
8. That the value of the animals for
beefng purposes was increased by the
fattening process an average of Ii cents
per pound from commencement to
finish.

Oat Culture.

After three years experiments with oats
the Ohio Experiment Station summarizes
its results as follows: l. In the COM
parative test the varities giving the
highest yield in 1889 were the Improved
American, Monarch, Rust Proof, Welch,
and Colonel, Kansas Hybrid, Probsteier
and White Shemen remain among the
highest producers. 2. Varieties weigh
ing most to the measured bushel were
Centennial, Early Prize Cluster, White
Bonanza, Race Horse, White Victoria,
and Haggett's White. 8. The highest
percentage of oats standing at harvest
was in Hopetown, Welch, Wideawake,
Improved American, and Rust Proof. 4.
The varieties giving the highest aver
age yield in series of years are the
White Shenen, Monarch, Probsteier,
Early Dakota, and Rurst Proof. These
have averaged sixty bushels and above.
Some of them have done this for years,
some five and six. 5. Seeding at the
rate of five. six, seven, and eight pecks
per acre in 1889 gave yields almost
Identical. Seeding at less than five and
more than eight pecks gave smaller
yields. In the average of two seasons
experiments larger yield has been OBJ
tanned from sowing at the rate of six
pecks than from larger or smaller
quantity of seed.

One of the disadvantages of poor
seed corn is that there is constant ten
dency on the part of planters to put in
too much seed, says the American Cut
tiULtor. The idea, of course, is that
somewill fail to grow. Oftener, how
ever, the poor seed all grows, but
much of it has its vitality injured SO
much that it presents only o sorry and
weak appearance. When it comes up
with from five to ten stalks in hill, the
farmer thinks he will pull up all but
three of the best, but he rarely, and
practically, we may say. never does this.
1t goes against the grain of most farm
ers to thin out corn. Besides, to do il
as it should be done involves more la
Dor than was originally required fol
planting. Sometimes the farmer thinks
he will thin out gradually, using the
small plants to feed to COWS; but this
does not pay. They are of little worth
for feed until the plant gets into tassel,
and by that time all are SO crowded that
there is no chance for anything except
ing fodder. Drilled corn is more apt to
suffer from overcrowdiEg than that in
hills. The spaces each way give room
for sunlight, even though the stalks
crowd each other in the hill. When the
corn is drilled it at first looks to be very
thin when the seed is put in right. One
stalk to each running foot of the rows
gives more ears and more grain than tc
have it thicker

THE TAX UPON lNCOMES,

In responding to the toast, "The
Democratic party in relation to future
public economy" at the Thurman
banquet, last week, General Thomas
Ewing gave utterance to a sentiment
which will probably SOON rise to the
dignity of national issue. After
stating that the multiplication Of mil
lionaires was destroying the industrial
independence of the masses, he said !:
Our taxation, local and national,
aggregates over $S0O,OOO,OUO per
year. To pu, this enormous tax bur
den on the wealth, instead of on the
labor of the country, will tend strongly
to wholesome aud just distribution
Of the annual net increase which labor
aud capital produce.

should be restored They should DO
imposed in raising revenues by both
State and Federal governments.
Small incomes and inheritances should

be graduated SO Ms to increase with
the amount OF inhe ritance or income.
Religious and municipal corporations,
he said, should h- regulated by the
States to protect the masses from un.
due taxation.
Incomes and inheritances should be
taxed, and up to their full cash value.

which people would more readily pay
taxes than upon these. And. as Gen

THE PRODUCTION OF STEEL.

The total production Of steel in the
United States during the year ended
June 80, 1890, aggregated 4,466,926
tons of 1000 pounds. This was an
increase OF 200 per cent. over the
production Of the census year 1880
at which time steel was made in IA
States in the Union, as against 10
States engaged in that industry at the
present time.
The production Of Bessemer steel
rails has increased, during the decade,
from 4l,475 tons in 1880, to 2,O36..
654 tons in 1890.
At this rate Of increase the United
States will soon produce more steel
than all the balance Of the world
combined.
