TIE CLOVER Hay WORM.

The farmer who finds in his NOW the
webs of the clover hay worm should
read and act upon the advice of Pro-
fessor Osborn, of the Iowa Agricultural
College, who says: Where these webs
are found l would advise a thorough
cleaning ont of the infested NOW and
burning of all the webbed and worth
less hay containing the worms. Other
wise there will be developed an enor-
nous number of moths to lay eggs in
the coming seasons crop of hay and
the probability of worse damage an
other year than has occurred hereto
fore. 1t is exactly under such CON
ditions, the holding over of masses of
infected hay, that the worms find the
best opportunity for increase, and,
while it may involve some labor and
apparent loss Mt the time, it may he
considered rs next to throwing hay
away to store ii over mass of hay pre-
viously infested, except that the upper
portion will probably escape any seri-
ous damage. 1t is possible that worms
could be killed by use OF bisulphids of
carbon without removing the hay, but
l hesitate to recommend it, as l know
of no case where it has been used for
this pest and because of the danger
connected with its use, especially in a
barn where lanterns may be brought,
making possible the ignition of the
fumes. Farmers Review.

that fact beyond shadow of a
doubt. From various State agricul-
tural experiment stations we are as
sured that milch cows will yield a
greater flow of milk when fed on split
corn than from any other feed, while
for fattening young steers there is no
better food. A steers mouth at three
years of age is but partially provided
with grinders, and it is difficult for
him TO masticate whole ears of corn or
parts of ears broken crosswise of the
cob. He will eat strips of ear length
wise the cob and fatten as rapidly as
at four years old, although at the
latter age he is provided with full
set of mature grinders. Many feeders
do not try to fntten steers till they are
four years old for this reason. Cattle
of any age can eat split corn without
any soreness of mouth, which is fire.
quently the case when fed on whole
ears of corn.
While there has been some differ
ence of opinion among feeders as to
the value of cob as feed, oil agree
that cob when prepared so cattle will
eat it readily is an aid TO digestion not
acquired from any other roughness.
Cattle can be fed all the split corn
they will eat without the least danger
of overfeeding. As the fiber of the
cob is broken so that they will masti-
cate the strips of ears like chewing a
cud, without any wsstage by slabber-
ing grains of corn from the mouth, all
the saliva is retained and mixed thor
oughly with the food, insuring a di-
gestion so perfect that no whole grains
of corn are passed.
According to the analysis of the
chemist, there is gain
of twenty-five per cent. in nutriment
by splitting the corn. This means
that seventy-five bushels of split corn
will do the work of one hundred
bushels of whole ears OF course il
would not pay to do the work by hand,
but with machine which will split
from 800 to 500 bushels per day the
saving is obvious. Farm, Field and

uNRpE SEED Will GROW.

II does not need that fruit of any
kind shall be thoroughly ripe so make
il grow The same is true of corn.
We have seen corn planted the last of
June, and only getting into the milk
stage saved for seed and growing per-
fectly. In fact, it grew faster aud
ripened earlier the following season
than did corn that was fully matured.
That may, however, have been due to
extra care taken with the green seed
corn. Il was partly stripped of its
husks and hung up to dry. Owing to
immaturity there was less substance or
starch in the grain, and when we'll
dried it was so shriveled that it looked
as if there were little beside the germ
enclosed in the grain, but every seed
grew. If this soft corn had been left
in the field, exposed to rains and to
repeated freezing while damp, proba-
bly, not a grain Of it would have grown
1t Injuries any seed to freeze it while
damp, and with those naturally tender
it entirely destroys their vitality. -

TO CLEAN CARPETS AT HOME.

II is often the case that accidents
happen when one is far away from
cleaners, or when perchance the
carpet may not be worth the expense
of the professionals service, but would
be extremely useful if put in good
order.
A simple and effectusl means of
cleaning is to rip the breadths apart,
IF the carpet is large take one breadth
at time over n common kitchen table
Ior wide board and scour with pre-
pared sospsuds, if necessary, or
lnaphtha. If that substance is to be
used, scrub the carpet thoroughly
with an ordinary scrub-brush. If the
washing is done with Soapsuds, it is
well to rinse the carpet thoroughly,
which may he done by throwing on
pailfuls of water and scrubbing it out
with the brush TO rid the fabric of the
suds as nearly rs may be. If the
carpet shows symptoms of fading, or
if the colors threaten to run, it is
quite worth while to go over it again
and again with the brush and with
soft cloths and remove the water rs
rapidly rs possible, meanwhile having
the board or table tipped at an angle
SO as to allow all surplus water to
drain away as quickly us 1t can. This
is rather slow work and hard work
but if well done, the result will be
carpet entirely cleaned, perfectly
wholesome and quite good enough for
an upper room or for the rugs and
pieces that are required in every
house. New York Ledger.

Military BuIIIes.

Austrian officers have an evil repu-
tation for heartless treatment OF in
feriors in the army. A colonel, while
inspecting n regiment of Hussars on
the parade ground in Vienna, was ir-
ritated by the awkwark appearance of
subaltern. He angrily called the of
fender TO his side and cuffed his ears.
The officer was cut TO the quick by
an insult which degraded him TO the
level of lackey. He returned to his
place with flushed face and tears in his
eyes. Ashamed to meet the con-
temptuous glances of the soldiers and
half-insane from modification, he shot
himself in the head and died almost
instantly.
This tragic incident produced al
most as marked an effect upon the
Vienna garrison ms was caused by a
similar affront, which was followed by
decline of duelling in the French
army.
A lieutenant serving in n regiment
of lancers was systematically perse-
cuted by n captain, who was an incor-
rigiblo bully. One day the captain
lost his temper at dinner, and cuffed
the lieutenant's ears.
Army etiquette required challenge
from the insulted officer. The lieu
tenant had been under fire in battle
and was not coward, but he would
not consent TO send challenge His
friends expostulated with him in vain.
They could not remove his conscien-
tious scruples against duelling.
His refusal caused scandal which
touched the honor of the officers of
his regiment. His colonel finally asked
him to choose between fighting the
duel and resigning his commission
He sent the challenge and named the
conditions. The antagonists were to
choose pistols by lot, one being loaded
and the other not, and were to fire
over handkerchief.
The duel was fought at dawn. The
men stood face to face, holding u
handkerchief with their left hands.
The bullying captain snapped the trig-
ger of his pistol. There was no sound.
The empty weapon had fallen to him
by lot
The seconds thought that the in
suited lieutenant, being opposed to
duelling, would fire in the air In
stead of this he aimed his pistol re-
morselessly at the captain and killed
him. Then dipping his hands in his
victims blood and turning to those
who had forced him to fight the duel,
he shouted:
''Is it enough? Is honor now safe ?"
Returning to the officers quarters,
he resigned his commission in the
army. Not long afterward he disap-
peared from the world, aud entered n
monastery to spend the remainder of
his life as n religious recluse
This duel produced a marked inn
preston upon the officers of the French
army. 1t was "a warning against bully
ism in the treatment of subordinates.

barracks teaches the same moral with
