Effect of Pulling Fodder.

Stripping the leaves from the standing
stalks of corn while in their best green
condition is quite common practice in
some sections Of the country. When
properly cured and bound in bundles
they make excellent white fodder, and it
is generally considered that the pulling
of the leaves causes no decrease in the
production of grain. To test the ques-
ton Of loss or gain, experiments were
made on sixteen plats at the Georgia sta
ton. From one-half Of each the leaves
were stripped and the fodder carefully
cured and dried.
The plats from which the blades were
stripped yielded 23.9 bushels of shelled
corn per acre. The unstripped plats gave
yield of 1913 bushels per acre, loss of
8.4 bushels as the result Of pulling the
fodder. Bpr the yield of fodder was 27O
pounds per acre, at cost for pulling and
cutting of eighty-one cents. In other
words, there was loss equal to 1904
pounds of corn and gain of 270 pounds
Of fodder.
From the above and q similar trial pre-
ceding it the conclusion is reached that
the strongest argument against the prac-
tice is the neager results in fodder com.
pared with the amount of labor involved.
The same labor employed in moving
grass or any good forage crops, even
without the use of improved machinery
would yield vastly greater results.

The Shoe of Content.

Have you heard that old saw of the Persians
That saying both witty and true,
"The whole world is covered with leather
To him who is shod with shoe2" .
Fine calfskin or kid or morocco,
Great cavalry boots armed with steel
The daintlest, jGuntiest slippers,
Coarse br"gues tumbed down at the heel
What matter the differing fashions2-
The richest and poorest of you
VIII find the whole world clad in leather
As soon as you put on your shse!
Before, It was cold and uneven,
Rough pebbles and sharp bits OF glass.
Now, prestol q smooth and warm pavement
Wherever 1t please you to pass.
But ahl there's maid-have you seen herp
A little maid CHEEKY and sweet,
Who daintily trips, yet see not
What leather she wears on her feet;
For know by her sunny eyes sparkle,
And by the calm curve of her mouth,
And by the kind grace of her manners,
Like warm breezes fresh from the south,
know that Wherever her foot falls
On loving task speeding or sent
The cobbler may laugh, but care not
She is shod with the shoe OF contentl
Just whisper the secret pray thee;
Come, what is the shop and the street,
And where is the cobbler who fashions
Such beautiful gear for the feet2
I'll go and I'll offer a treasure
Will make his big spectacles shine,
II only two shoes-somewhat larger
Like your little shoes, can be mine.
And then l will don them, and leaping
OF over the world will go,
OF over my frets and my worries.
OF over my aches and my woe.
And loudly to all limping grumblers
My shoemaker cheer shall be sent:
"The whole world is covered with gladness
To him who is shod with contentl'

New idea for Panels and Table Tops.
A new idea for decorating the tops OF
tables or wood panels is to arrange fern
leaves on the wood so as form design,
and fasten them slightly here and there
with gum just enough to prevent them
from being shifted. Fine pins or needles
may also be used for this purpose. After
the pattern is arranged prepare some very
liquid water color (sepia is mostly used),
and by means of hard tooth or nail brush
dipped in the liquid color try to produce
the finest possible spray by rubbing the
said brush against another dry one. Cover
the whole surface with the spray until
those parts of the wood that are not
covered with the ferss appear quite dark
brown. Then remove the pattern and
complete the leaves by painting in some
veins, etc., where it is necessary.
Any color may be chosen for this work,
but brown is the prettiest. In order to nb-
tain q richer brown burnt umber may be
mixed with the sepia. Great care must be
taken to obtain fine spray, as any heavy
drop Of color would spoil the background,
and II Is best to try first on piece of card
board.
Charming effects may be obtained by
giving the fern leaves different shades.
This Is done by removing some Of the
leaves before the background is completely
darkened and letting them take q light
tinge of brown from the spray. In this
way one may produce two OF three differ
ent degrees or shades. Ivy leaves are also
very effective; In fact everything in that
line may serve, as well as conventional de-
signs cut out In paper and fastened on the
Hoods-ppcQFator and FaEntsheE

Caught In His Own Trap.


A half starved fox, who was rambling
near the seashore, happened to spy a party
Of young crabs just coming out of the
water. Delicious morselsl' exclaimed
Reynard, smacking his lips. II would no.
have missed this ramble for anything.
Here am l with an empty stomach, and
feel sure my quick witted brain is more
than a match for all the dull, thick headed
crabs in the sea-" So saying, he skipped
lightly toward the crabs, which extended
their claws when they saw the four footed
creature approaching.
Not so fast, my good fellows" cried the
fox, in courtly tone. II only wish to
make your acquaintance The truth is,
came down to the seashore on purpose this
morning, and have Travelled without par.

glimpse Of your elegant persons"
"Ah" exclaimed the crabs; my dear sir,
your fine words sound very sweet to us
crabs, for we have never been admired be.
fore, and most creatures in the sea shun
our acquaintance instead of seeking it.
But let us give you word of warning; do
not come too near the sea, for the tide is
just coming up, and unless you can live
under water as we can you will soon be
drowned"
HAP thought the fox; "these willy crabs
are not so stupid as | thought, for l see
they wish to get rid of me; however, will
not leave them, come what may, till have
made meal of them" Immediately act
ing on this thought the crafty beast sprang
toward one of the crabs, when a trenen-
dous wave came and swallowed up the
whole party of crabs and fox. The crabs
were accustomed to this and delighted in
the briny bath, but not so Master Reynard
for in few moments he was choked and
the whole party Of merry crabs had the
pleasure of dining on his welcome carcass
Moral-Sly persons are frequently caught
In their own nets, just as the fox was.

1t was advised, at an Ohio Farmers
institute, tt ut more attention be given
to producing orchard grass. Among
remarks on the subject were the follow.
ing by one farmer:
When 1 SOW clover always SOW or,
chard grass with it. 1t pays well, and
clover will do for pasture for horses,
cattle and swine. Tho orchard grass Is
a valuable adjunct in a clover field. II
you intend cutting the clover for hay,
the orchard grass is still strong and will
stand great deal of clover. 1t helps
the clover, and l can make a better
quantity of hay.
The proper time to sow orchard
grass is when the weather gets warm in
the spring. can get better stand
along in April to tho middle Of May.
If sown alone use two bushels of seed to
the acre. v hen l SOW clover | use
about half q bushel.

fine old violins, and will pay fabulous
prices TO get them. They will be worth

probation of the violin is growing every
day in America, and numberless young

other good old violin, the demand is yet,
it seems to me, in its infancy in our coun.
try. Exactly what proportions it will as

SOFT sHELLED EGGS.
The Value Of oyster Shells as sourc,
of Material for Eggshells.

The Value Of Oyster Shells as u Source
Of Material for Eggsheils.
Soft shelled eggs arise from several
causes, the most common being the want
Of material to form shell where birds
have only earth or grass or a paved
yard. Another cause is overfeeding
with rich, soft, stimulating diet. The
remedy is Of course less of soft food
and more shell forming substances, such
as powdered eggshells, grit, lime, etc.
To test the value of oyster shells as a
source of material for eggshells rather
than as q substance whose value lies
solely in furnishing grit, as is claimed
by some, experiments were made ut the
New York station with six 1-year-old
Leghorn hens, three Of which were fed
coarse ground oyster shells and three
coarse broken glass instead. Both lots
were treated and fed alike, except as
above state.
AS result it is said no other conclu-
sion seems possible than that the egg
shells were constructed from material
supplied in large part by the oyster shells.
The lot receiving pounded glass did not
lay as well as the other, and two Of the
hens became siok, but recovered after a
few days. The sickness is believed to
have been due to the excessive amount
of glass swallowed. An unlimited sup
ply Of pounded glass has been attended
with no bad result when the food and
other grit available to the fowls con-
tained an abundance of lime, but when
the food was deficient in lime and no
other grit was attainable hens ate an in
| juriously large amount Of glass.
In conclusion, the feeding of oyster
shells during the laying season, where
they can be cheaply obtained, is recon-
mended. One pound will contain lime
enough for about seven dozens of eggs.
Fine gravel containing limestone will
probably as well supply the deficiency
of lime in most foods, but the use of
some sharper grit with it may be of adj
vantage. Long or sharp splinters of
, glass or dry bone should be avoided.
For hens the size of particles of grit had
better be larger than that of a kernel of
wheat and should be smaller than that
of kernel of corn.

Poultry Items.

If ducklings are fed on ground oats
and barley mixed with bran they will de,
velop rapidly and shell out eggs by the
time the turkeys lose their heads, says
The Fanciers' Journal, from which the
following notes are CLEANED:
For lice on fowls use tobocco dust OF
California lubach powder. The latter
is very powerful, and can be diluted one,
half with wheat four
The breeding season being over, the
disposal Of the old hens becomes ncces
sary. The most profitable way is to sell
them alive at market prices, keeping the
yearling or 2-year-old hens over for an
other season.
The latter should be turned out to pas
ture on farm and fed on oats princi
pally. When leaves begin to fall in The
autumn these hens will have nearl
molted, and should be in good health
and ready to lay.

DIAGRAM OF TOOL CHEST.

Built 81 feet long by 90 inches broad
it will accommodate all the carpenters
tools needed on farm, besides many
other useful tools. The rack for saws is
made of two short pieces Of board set on
edge in the bottom drawer, and slots cut
into them for each saw. A bit rack and
one for chisels can be made in the same
way. The plane drawer should be par
titioned for various kinds of planes.
Such chest should stand on casters and
have handle bars at the ends. The top
raises, giving room for plans and other
drawings above the upper drawer. A
smaller chest can be made of pine or
whitewood, foot deep by 18inches high
and 80 inches long. 1t should contain a
square, saw, hatchet, rivet hammer,
rivets, a brace and bit, chisels, includ-
ing cold chisel, mallet, a pair of pincers,
spirit level, drawknife, screwdriver,
screws, nails, monkey wrench and va
riety Of bolts. Such chest can be car

Cottonseed Meal,

Good cottonseed meal is estimated tG
contain nutriment per 100 pounds equal
to 3lS pounds Of cornmeal, or TO 7C7
pounds Of wheat bran. This estimate
may be chemically correct, but we doubt
if it is practically. CottoIseed meal is
unquestionably one Of our most valuable
foods, but il is also very dangerous
food in ignorant or careless hands. RS
complete value can never be realized
while it is fed alone or as the only
grain; it needs balancing even mora
than cornmeal. All such comparisons
are misleading, because they tend to
leave the impression that any one food
can be safely omitted from a ration,
provided q more nutritive food is sub,
stituted. Jersey Bulletin.

The bordeaux SIIxture.

The old formula for Bordeaux mix
ture was as follows: Dissolve six
pounds of copper sulphate in sixteen
gallons Of water; in another vessel
slack four pounds Of fresh lime in six
gallons of water. When the lime mix
ture has cooled to the temperature of
the air, pour it slowly into the copper
solution, mixing the two by constant
stirring. At the Ohio station the above
has been found effective when diluted
to fifty instead of twenty-five gallons,
as ordinarily recommended. Farmers
Bulletin, No. 7, department Of agricul-
ture, recommends similar reduction
in the strength of the mixture.
