CUTTING CORN FODDER.
4 Feed That Keeps Live stock In Coo
COnditinn IN the Winter.

Condition In the Winter.
Good corn fodder is one Of the cheap
est and best rough feeds on the farm
In making the necessary grain the fod-
der is grown SO that the only item of
expense is the cutting, shocking up and
hauling out Yet when there is con-
siderable acreage this Is quite task. so
much SO that in many cases sufficient
quantity cannot be gathered at the
tight stage to be of the best quality
without hiring extra help. To con-
siderable extent the quality or value of
feed is largely determined by the age
at which it is cut and the manner Of
curing and storing away.
As with much other farm work. ma
chinery will not only lessen the labor,
but afford much better opportunity
of getting the work done in good sea-
son. With corn harvester, two men
and one horse will put from six to
eight acres OF corn in the shock, and in
this way a considerable quantity OF
good feed can be secured in q short
time and at q comparatively small
cost. Too much fodder is allowed to
get too ripe before cutting. So far as
is possible it will be best to begin cut
ting when the grain begins to harden

fodder is to stand in the field until it is
hauled out and fed to the stock, it will
be best to put mp in large shocks. while
If 1t is to be hauled in and stored under
shelter as soon as t is sufficiently
cured, small shocks are much the best;
where fodder is left standing out there
is always more or less damaged fodder
on the outside of the shocks. The rain,
snow, wind and sun bleach and evapo-
rate good portion of the nutriment in
the stalks SO that it is quite an item to
lessen the amount that is exposed to
these elements as much as possible,
and this is the advantage in putting up
in large shocks Sixteen hills square
is not too large. But when it is to be
hauled in under shelter as soon as pos
sible eight or ten hills square is large
enough.
With good shelter cattle, sheep and
horses can be kept in good thrifty con-
dition all winter with very little grain
and consequently at . low cost If the
fodder is of good quality, or If the fod-
der is cut up fine and a small quantity
of oil, meal and bran added this class
of stock can be kept thrifty during thu
winter, and much feed that is Above.
to go to waste can be used in this way
and thus much grain be saved to fee

The Com mon Duck.

There is no profit made on the COM
mon puddle duck since the Pekins have
been introduced, as the common kind
are not only small, but of slow growth.
To secure the largest returns from
ducks, they must be in the markets at
q certain period, and as the common
ducks grow too slowly to come in early,
they do not bring high prices. The
Pekins are the favorite market ducks,
and begin to come in about the begin
ming of May, the choicest weighing Ave
pounds each. Crossing with Pekin
brakes has not been satisfactory. the

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
SETTING STRAWBERRIES.

Two Forms Of Securing Self Renewal by
Means Of Runners.
There are two distinct ways of re-
newing strawberry plantations-the
one which is generally preferred and
adopted being simply transplanting.
and the other some form Of self-renew-
al by the agency Of runners. An OBJ
lection to the latter is the continued oc
cupation of the same piece of ground,
the fertility being partly exhausted by
the previous growth. This objection
may be in great degree remedied by
copious and skillful manuring, and II
the soil has been found by trial to be
especially benefited by some particular
fertilizer. the plant will be improved
by an addition of it to the barn manure.

FOUR MURDERBRS DEAD.

The law has Lad its say with the lives
of Murderers SLoCUM, SMILEE, WOOD
and JUGIRo. These iour men have died
in the electric chair.
As matter of law and justice. putting
pside for moment the consideration of
electrocutlon as method of taking
capital criminals out of the world. it is
fortunate that these sentences have at
last been carried out. SO long had the
prescribed processes been delayed bv
juggling with phrases and provisions OF
law on the part of legal experts that the
statutes covering the crime of murder
and its punishment had become subjects
of mockery and derision.
1t actually seemed as if the State had
lost the power to dispose of its most dan
gerous criminals. The spirit Of murder
was fostered and encouraged by this ap-
pearance of affairs. To-day's events con-
stitute final ghastly victory for the law,
in so far as it called for the death of the
condemned men, which should go far to-
wards restoring the old and!intended effect
OF deterring men from taking the lives of
fellow-men.
