Corn Fodder.

In many localities the ordinary far
mcr does not yet patronize the silo,
and consequently corn fodder Is all
important crop. If properly used
there is no better feed for cattle, but
on many farms there is nothing used
with as poor economy as is corn fod-
der. In paper incorporated in the
quarterly report of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture this statement
is made: IAN acre of good corn fod-
der, corn that will yield fifty or sixty
bushels per acre, if secured at the
right time, is worth as much for feed
a. the hay from an acre of tame
grass" 1t is advised in this same
paper that the handling of corn fod-
der be done in damp weather. 1t is
poor economy to turn stock into a
field OF cOrnstalks, to say nothing OF
the danger Of loss from impaction.

One Way to shock Wheat.

To set up a stack that will stand
and turn water is an art which every
one has not learned, and yet it is easy
enough when once the lesson is learn
ed. Waldo F. Browns plan, as tried
by himself, is to set the bundles
squarely against each other and only
slightly leaned from the perpendicu-
lar. lie puts eleven bundles in a
shOck-four for the foundation, one
at each end and two at each side, and
a single cap sheaf. lie says that one
cap will turn the water as well as
two if properly broken and put on, j.
much less likely to be blown off, and
in long continued wet weather two
will become so saturated as to twist
the shock by their weight.

THE ADVOCATE.
couRT-DAY.
1t WILSON Be only Memory,

Court day live stock sales have been
declining in Kentucky for several
years, and are not any longer to be
regarded as important indexes for
traders and farmers. 1t is now the
exception to the rule to find on the
streets for sale strictly No. l good
stock. This is due to the change in
the manner of selling. Agents of the
commission houses scour the country
and pick up or engage all good stock
when it is ready for market, leaving
only the undesirable and culled lots
for County Court street sales. And
it may be added that the death of the
old-fashioned Kentucky Court day is
only question of time. That day
when the farmers of several counties
would meet once month for the
transaction of accumulated business
has passed away, and year by year
the court crowds grow smaller. The
farmer no longer keeps his money al
home "in an old SOCK" but when he
wants to pay neighbor sum he
writes out a check and sends it by
mail, instead of riding ten or twelve
miles to deliver it in person. Still
there is something peculiarly attrac
tive about "Court Day." Men tina
never grasp plow handle and hard
ly know growing wheat from hemr
60 from court to court and mingit
with the crowds, but they usually
deal in politics.-[Ky. Homestead.

The Bee Hive.

A writer on bee culture says: If a
bee-kceper have colony of deter
mined singers, let him kill the queen
at once, for a colony of ugly, "touchy''
bees in an apiary is pest and nuis-
ance, pure and simple. AS soon as
discovered, destroy the queen that no
more Of her race may help to make
wretched the life Of the bee-keeper.
To such colony, however, it is often
difficult to introduce a queen, they
are so persistent i'll their ugliness,
that they appear to object to every
thing out of pure spite. But after
they have been left queenless while
they will begin TO see the error OF
their way, and at last be glad to re-
ceive queen, even plebeian black
queen that has no Italian ancestry.

Potatoes In Montana,

There are no such potatoes in the
world as are. grown in Montana, says
Julian Ralph in Harper's Monthly.
These attain prodigious size and often
weigh three, four and five pounds
apiece. To the taste they are new
vegetable. Tho larger ones are mealy
bnt the smaller ones are like sacks of
meal: when the skin is broken the
meat falls like flour. 1t must very
soon become the pride of every stew
ard in first grade hotels, restaurants
and clubs to prepare these delicious
vegetables for those who enjoy good
living. AS these potatoes can be cul
tivated in all the valleys east of the
Rocky Mountains there will soon BIZ
no lack of them. To-day the only
ones that have left the State have
been the few bushels sent to gour
NETS in New York, Washington ant
San Francisco.

AT the recent term of the court in
Knott county, Judge III. G. Lilly and
Commonw ealth's Attorney j. ID.
Mars brought CONSERVATION and con-
viction to a number of the lawless
characters of that region. The sequel,
as is told in the correspondence of the
London Echo, shows that the admin
istration of justice in the mountains is
still attended by its Inconvenience.
The Echo says:
"When court adjourned Judge Lilly,
in company with Sheriff J. 4. Watts,
his nine prisoners and fifteen armed
guards, started for Jackson. They had
gone about nineteen miles below
Hindmap, on Troublesome creek, and
Judge Lilly told the Sheriff and his
party that he would ride on to house
about a mile distant and have dinner
ready for the crowd. After the Judge
had left, the Sheriff and his party
were fired upon from ambush by a
crowd of drunken outlaws, but no one
was injured. The fire was not re-
turned, the Sheriff giving orders not to
shoot. The outlaws then broke and
ran. The intention of the outlaws
was 10 excite the Sheriff and posse, in
order that the prisoners could make
their escape, but the prisoners were
handCutfed and chained in wagons.
The party then resumed their journey,
and on coming up with the Judge in
formed Inn of what had occurred
The Judge ordered Sheriff Watts and
his posse to return and arrest the out.

seven of them on the edge of the road
resting on their arms. The Sheriff
ordered his men to lay low on thei
horses and charge. They did so, anC
but one shot was fired and that by ;
Mr.. Miller, of the outlaws, but injur

A reunion fthe Federal soldiers
of Kentucky will this year be held at
Hodgenvillc, Larue county, Ky, on the
18th and 18th of Augest. An invita-
ton is extended to ex-Fcderal and ex-
Confederate soldiers to attend and
participate. The selection of Hodgen-
vile is explained by the promoters on
the ground that the birthplace ofAbra-
ham Lincoln is near by, and that part
of the exercises will be held at the old
Lincoln home. They put aside the
claims that have recently been made
by Washinnton county people in favor
of a spot near Springfield as the birth.
