ANNUAL WASTE OF CORN
In short time. in all the great corn growing
regions farmers will begin what may we'll be-
termed their great annual waste" All SUM-
mer they have laborod hard in the cultivation
of the corn crop grown on land previously pre-
pared with considerable outlay Of time. work,
and money. Yet when the time for harvest
arrives. large proportion OF the corn growers
of the United States will deliberately proceed
to allow all or part of the fodder to 20 to waste
All who have had experience in feeding it are

ucts of the farm that give better results in
feeding. especially % young and growing stock
than corn fodder In this regard their expert
euce Is corroborated by the results of exhaust

that the greater part OF the labor required to
produce fodder must be expended in the
production OF the grain, il seems 10 be folly not
to save IT. thus adding greatly to the profit side

Tie Russef Shoe.

The progress Of the ligllt-brown shoe move
ment this year is even moro noticeable than
it was last year, which may have been the
first year. if it were not tho second year. of
that movement in this vicinity. 1t is estima-
ted that shoes of this kind are worn by about
a quarter Of million Of the denizens of New
York and Brooklyn. The great majority of
the wearers Of them are men, but many women
also wear them. If the movement in their
favor continues to grow as rapidly as il has
grown for the past two or three years, they will
be the ordinary wear of New Workers before
the bells ring out our dwndiing century.
The movement is interesting 1t has advanced
quietly. There has been very little talk, and
there have been no lectures, so far as we know,
in favor of the cause of shoe reform. Without
saying word about the subject, multitude
have put off the black, put on the light brown,
and proceeded about their other business.
Few of them. so far as we have heard, argued
the case outside of their own minds. They
preferred tho light brown, for one reason or
another, to the black. The change has affected
the leather trade, the shoemakers' trade, the
shoe-sellers' business, the shOe-string business,
the blacking business, and the shoeblaclss' busi-
ness. Some men have made money by reason
of it, while other men have lost.

To Study the Bible.

Mr.. Moody's Bible Institute in Chicago is
making great preparations for the coming Win
ter and next year, with special reference to the
need there will be for aggressive Christian work
among the vast crowds who will visit the Fair.
Two new stories upon the main building are
about completed These will afford accommo.
dations for 100 additional men. Mr.. Moody,
himself, expects to spend large proportion of
the year 1913 in Chicago, and is trying to secure
leading men from the Old Country and America
to preach the Gospel in English and other lam
guages and also to give instructions in the
Institute, in addition to the regular corps of
teachers.
Those who enter the school in October, or as
soon after that as possible. will have the best
opportunities in the work. In accepting ap-
plicants, preference will, Of course, be given to
those expecting to stay throughout the year.
None are admitted but such as are preparing for
some form of Christian work.
1t seems likely that more room will have to
be provided for the Women's Department in
order to accept all the promis ing applicants.
Special attention will be paid to the work of
the Musical Department of the Institute. 1t
is proposed to gather and train a large male
choir, to sing at the services to be held during
the Worlds Fair, and extra privileges will be
granted to pupils having exceptionally good
voices, who will remain during that period.
The musical terms begin the first Tuesdays of
October, January, April and July.
All inquiries regarding any of the Depart
ments should be addressed to Bible Institute,

irrigated land, is producing splendid crop of
wheat this year. You can travel for miles up
and down and across the Valley, and every

acres, and there is not spot on all that land
where it will not produce more than 20 bushels

RAISING MULES.

The great source of supply of mules has been
and is at the present time from the South. A
writer in the Practical Farmer says: Kentucky
farmers have acquired quite reputation for
expertness in this business, and until a year or
two ago it was one of the most profitable Z" side
issues" of farming in this section. Since that
time the demand has been so small as to cause
great over-production and consequent fall in
prices 1t is generally the case that such occa-
sions as this are followed by eras of high prices,
and should the rule hold good in this instance,
we may expect an early revival in the mule
market Tho we'll known hardness of the
mule makes it a peculiarly easy animal to raise,
though when they are very small care must be
taken with them just as with any young ami
NAL. Here it is the common practice to raise
mule colts from mares that are constantly at
work, and in most cases little extra feed is
given. So filed with deviltry are mules, that
it is almost impossible to do anything with
them running at large in cultivated fields after
they are a few weeks old, so that they are usu-
ally confined in stall when the mares are
being worked. Mules are usually foaled during
the months of March, April and May, and the
period for weaving extends from Sept. l to
Oct
AS they seldom sell for more any time before
they are three years old and are broken than
they do at weaving time, and as 1t is difficult
matter to break them unless one is especially
prepared for doing so, mules are usually sold at
tie time they are weaned. When prices are
ordinarily good, fair mare mule sells for
from $50 to $40 at weaving time, extra fine
ones sometimes going as high $s5. Horse
mules sell for at least $40, and much oftener
SIS less than mares. In nine cases out of 10
this amount represents clear gain when the
service fee-$o to Sl0-is deducted from it, rs
there is seldom any other expense connected
with raising mule, except the uncertain one
of trouble.
In almost every neighborhood in this State
are one more farmers who buy several wean-
ling mules every Autumn keep them until
they are three or four years old-breaking them
at two years-when they are fattened and
shipped to the South. There is little demand
here for grown mules, except for teams. A
good, strong well-matched team of mare mules
sells now for $I75 to $3.50, and a few years ago
many teams were sold at prices ranging from
$500 to 500. Though mules are hardy and can
live and sometimes fatten on,harsh treatment,
they respond to good care as readily as any
thing. An aged, blind gentleman, now deceased,
who lived near US. raised mule every year
from favorite mare. Under ordinary circum-

FOR THE SAKE OF THE BEES.

FOR THE SAKE OF THE BEES.
Prof A. J. Cook. of the Agricultural College
of Michigan, who is an active worker in the
cause of bee culture, and one of the best au-
thorities on the subject, says: I" 1t has seemed
to me, and I am now stronger in the faith than
ever, that every State should pass law max
ing it serious misdemeanor to spray our fruit
trees while in blossom. do not think such
law would need to be used much, if ever; but
as educator it would do signal service 1t
would act IS our foul brood and yelIows have.
When men find that there is law against any
proposed course of action, they will almost
always hesitate before they act In case like
this, where there is cause for wrong action,
but every reason for doing that which works
no one i'll, but the most good to all, then surely
if legislative act will have influence it should
be urged by all. whether directly interested or
not. Is it not wise for every bee-keeper to
agitate this matter, that the public may be
educated, at least, and that such legislation
may be secured as will aid to prevent any
spraying during the time that the fruit trees
are in bos5om?"

These verses give us history Of the origin
of the Lords Supper. Some think st. Paups
was the first account given; holding the Cos
pels were written later. st. Paul, at any rate,
does not credit any human author with having
furnished his data. The account was the prod
uct of direct revelation made to st. Paul by
our Savior. We are not informed as to the
method by which Christ made known these
facts to st. Paul. We notice st. Paul was not q
Christian atthe time, the Holy Supper was in
stituted. We remember how Christ met Saul
(the future st. Paul. and spoke with him when
he was ON his way to Damascus st. Paul says
"he received" showing q personal relation to
the message. The Church at Corinth had but
one human being between itself and the au-
thoritative accounted fife origin of the Eucha-
rist. They had but to TRUST their founder.
There is something X!egy pathetic in the ac-
count. The Supper was instituted on the very
night Of the betrayal of Jesus. We have sug-
gested the last sad scenes in the life of Christ.
The Holy Eucharist isl made the more i'm
pressive as having originated under such seri-
Gus, sad circumstances We may infer from
the account that Christ himself, when inform
ing ST. P.,nl of the part iculars of the origin of
the Eucharist, added sthe fact it began at such
somber hour. This fadt would suggest to the
Corinthian CHRISTMAS that the Feast should
not be kept with hilarty.
The elements to be used at the celebration
are bread and wine. We have not time to dis
cuss the use of unleavened bread and infer
mented wine, two subjects worthy OF great at
tention. So far as wine is concerned, the
(Roman) Catholic Church use 1t only AS to the
priests the laity partaking of bread only, it be-
ing understood that the bread is the flesh of
Christ, and that flesh includes blood as we'll as
the solid part. Certain Christians have bread
specially prepared, uneavened and in the form
of waters. The Greek Church use ordinary
bread, quoting Acts. 2: AZ 46. Protestants in
general, use ordinary bread. Lutherans insist
on nnleavened bread.
There is no fixed practice on the part of
Christians as to frequency or otherwise. Christ
said "as off," ". 25) Some Christians have

4 Splendid Record Made Between This City
and Columbus, 0.

An event of great interest In wheelmens'
circles was the establishment of o relay BIZ
cycle record between the cities of Column
bus, o., and Indianapolis. By arrangement
betw cen the Columbus Evening Dispatch
and the Indianapolis News a message from
the former paper to the latter left Column
bus Monday evening at o'clock.
The TOute was by the old Natl Onal
road through Springfield Findlay. Dayton.
Richmond and Greenfield to this city.
There were relays at convenient distances
and all the participants being young and
ambi tiOus q record was made that IL Will
be difficult to break. The distance from
Columbus to Indianapolis. two hundred
miles. was covered in eleven hours, twenty
nine minutes and twelve seconds. which
was fifty minutes and twelve seconds
faster than the time scheduled.
At o'clock yesterday relay of Leel-
men started to carry message In re-
spouse from this city to Columbus. Bnlle-
tins received from various points along
the line showed the agile cyclists always
the message was thirty EIGHT minutes
ahead of schedule time, and the probabi
ity was that the schedule from here to
Columbus would be worse beaten than
was that from Columbus to Indianapolis
The work was done by the bicycle clubs of
Columbus, Springfield. Day ton. Richmond
and Indianapolis The NewS offered q
prize of a handsome silver cup to the clu b
making the best record, and the cup goes
to the ZigzaR Club of this city.
The message arrived at Columbus at 6: So
p. NJ. just one hour and thirty nine minutes
ahead of the schedule time. The return
trip was made fifty-five minutes quicker
than the run from Columbus here.
The riders had only fairly good roads
going and coming, b1t accomplished feat
never performed before. The average time
per mile to this city was three minutes and
forty-seven seconds. while the average
time returning to Columbus was three
minutes and twenty-seven seconds. The
run from Springfield to ColumDus-fOrty-
five miles-was made in two hours and
