A CASE or SNAKES.
They Were the Real Things and Their
.,.F-l Eject Was Salutary.


II was always great lover Of
snakes" said a ST. Louis man recently.
when q boy lived near Bonneville,
Mo-, and my parent on my fathers side
was somewhat addicted to the habit
of looking upon the wine when it wore
its war paint. He came home one
Saturday night with pretty good jag
aboard, and the next morning had q
head that was wondrous to behold.
There was a sharp frost that night and
when l went out to do the chores ap-
propriated my fathers overcoat. Dur
ing the morning l. found nearly q
dozen garter snakes that had been tied
up by the frost, and put them into
the pockets of the overcoat, intending
to thaw them out and put them in my
menagerie. When the breakfast BELL
rang forgot my pets and left them in
the coat pockets. After breakfast we
went to church, and, as the cid gentle.
man felt pretty shaky, he kept his
overcoat on and Rugged the stove. On
the way mother had lectured him
sound)y and pointed out that he was
only little ways removed from the de-
lirium tremens. AS he sat by the stove
the snakes thawed out and began tc
circulate themselves. The old gentle.
man was so wrapped in meditation
that he did not notice them until he
was literally covered by them. Then
he raised war.whoop that could have
been heard from Tadmor in the wilder
ness to Yuba Dam. He made break
for she door. shedding snakes and ex-
clamaticn points at every jump. When
we got home we found that he had
emptied his pocket flask into the sink
and was wearing a blue ribbon in his
button-ho1e. st Louis Globe-Demo.

HOW TO CUT FODDER.

A Point That Ks Not ~ Clearly Under.
stood As 1t Should He.
In cutting hay and fodder the length
of cut is of considerable Importance.
If the cut feed is to be wet and meal
mixed with it., the shorter it is cut the
better, fodder particularly, for it will
take up the water more readily an6
become softer and more digestible as
we'll rs more palatable. If it is to be
fed dry then it may be cut in lengths OF
an inch and one-hah to two inches,
this length being better than a shorter,
one for fodder, because the cows will
not get their mouths sore on account OF
the hard pieces of stalk cutting their
gums when they get the pieces uprigh,
between their jaws.
When the fodder is cut short and wet
and softened this objection does moi
apply. The English farmers speak OF
"chaffing'' instead of cutting their hay,
and it we can get hay and fodder into
the condition of chaH as regards fine.
ness 1t will be to our advantage. The
only objection to be made to this short
cutting is the time it takes to do it, but
there is usually plenty of time to spare
in winter: Finely cut hay, fodder anc
straw can be better mixed together
than when cut long, and by mixing
them we can sometimes feed to better
advantage than to feed separately.
We have found when we have cut 9
large quantity of corn fodder at one
time that it soon lost its sweet smell.
and unless it was thoroughly dry would.
it piled in large heaps, heat up and be.
come musty. We finally adopted the
plan of mixing the cut fodder with cut
hay or straw as soon as possible afte,
cutting it, and it then kept in good con.
dition. Cutting fodder pays, not only
by making it more convenient to feed,
but having the manure in such fine
condition to handle, there being nc
long, tough stalks to bother. This is
quite an item where large quantities OF
fodder are used and the manure is
drawn out in the field in winter to be
used on spring crops. -Colman's Rural

She stood on the street corner. Her

The ordinary effect Of alcohol is to
irritate and parch the mucous mem-

the nerves. When taken into the sys-

are so deleterious to all the nerve It's

The effect of alcohol contained in
these beverages finds it's way to the
