Satisfied With Corn Threshing.

Mr.. A. G. Glidden, Paw Paw, Mich,
threshed and shocked corn from about
four acres last fall; moreover, all the
stalks on twenty-five acres were run
through the machine and stored in
the barn, in the finest shape for feed
ing. He is so far we'll pleased with the
outcome, and says, as to the expense,
etc., in his "Grange Visitor"
at took about 6 1-2 hours to run
the crop through the thresher, at a,
cost OF $1.25 per hour for the outfit
and three men. The cost to have run
the whole twenty-five acres thro ugh,
unhusked, would not have exceeded
one-third more, and in a. favorable
season like this is the most expedi-
tious and cheapest method of securing
the corn crop"
The above, and other advantages
mentioned in the next excerpt, seem
to him manifestly in favor OF thresh-
ing early, and having the fodder stor-
ed dry instead of after exposure to
autumn rains:
"The fodder now occupies less
than half the space it would in the
bundle, and the unpleasant task of
handling in the managers is done away
with. Everything is shredded int.
strips, and much more will be eaten
by stock than could be expected I'M
der usual conditions OF feeding stalks.
The refuse left in the managers makes
excellent bedding for the animals, and
is q better absorbent than straw.

HIS HOPES FOR PHILOSOPHY ~ AMERICA.
The comparatively brief history OF Cornell 'hi'
versty has been full Of sudden surprises ahd ora

rise and progress have been OF a more unexpected
interesting or remarkable character than the circuh-
stances Of the recent charge in IT, presidency
When Dr. Adams became president. the Institution
was staggering along under the heaviest burdens and
difficulties financial and otherwise that II has ever
known. Whether IL was the natural turn IN us
affairs and the consequence OF former wise counses
or whether IL really due TO President Adamss tact
energy and other administrative qualities the fact
stands hey ond dispute that from the month when he
first entered upon his duties at Ithaca Cornell ell
tered upon a Of constantly expanding usefulness
and prosperity that probably has not been eduaied In
the experience of any other institution of learning.
Right at the moment Of It's greatest success and when
all the outward signs indicated not only continuance
OF that success the fullest harmony between those
charged with the frtherance OF the interests OF the
institution, without the slightest suspicion OF such an
event finding its way into the university COM
munity suddenly President Adams resigned giving as
the reason irreconcllable difference Of opinion in mat
ters Of administration
Extraordinary as was this occurrence, 1t was not
more so that the events that followed The resigna-
ton was accepted with prompudc that must have
filed Dr. Adams's mind with sad reflections respecting
the gratitude of universities Instantly. the eyes and
minds OF all interested in Cornes future were turned
toward one mana young man. too. scarcely thirty
