Of Smelling tie corn with labor reckoned
at a fair price, and we think that pound

ally il the cob is small aad well dried so
as to grind we'll, is worth as much for
feeding purposes as the meal from clear
corn. We know that analysis does not
show it, and this lea some farmers to
doubt the reliability of the chemists, be.
cause they were sure that they had found
the same quantity Of each to produce
equally good results. When two facts
are apparently exactly opposed to each
other, there is some unknown property,
or other fact, to be looked after. In
this case the unknown quantity was
the digestive power. aud it is now we'll
decided that the corn and cobmesl not
packing so closely in the digestive
organs, nor passing through them as
rapidly, is more thoroughly digested
than the clear cornmeal. Or that the
undigested amount wasted on feeding
clear meal is greater than the adultsra.

A FEEDING.

Heavy feeding is profitable feeding.
Experiments carried on at dairy centres
favor it. Cows making the highest
yield are those that are most generously
fed. Where the average yearly yield of
butter was $50 pounds it was increased
to $50 pounds by means of heavy feeding
from the same ANIMALS. OF course there
were other causes involved in the iu-
crease, such as careful handling, i'm
proved processes, combined with better
attention to the herd, but the more gen.
erous feeding was the main factor. A
recommendation to try it should be I'M
necessary to every dsiryman whose re-
turns are unsatisfactory .-Americau

FEEDING

The danger of feeding wheat, espe-
cially to horses, is that it Is glutinous
and apt to pack in the stomach and
cause indigestion. This is avoided by
chopping the grain coarsely aud mixing
it with cut hay or straw. A liberal ouan.
tity of salt should be given with this food.
But when the wheat is smutty there is
another danger, which is the effect of
the smut on the animal. This fungus
has an effect on the nervous system by
which some infammatory diseases are
apt to be caused. The animals may es.
cape injury for a time, but the danger
will always be imminent while the smutty
food is given. Boiling would kill the
fungus and prevent trouble. But as the
fungus is especially dangerous and in
furious to female animals, both pregnant
and otherwise, these should never be
given any smutty food. The effect of
the smut is to produce abortion, or in
lammation of the mucous membrane
that results in gangrene.-New York
Times.

POULTRY FOR WOMEN.

A farmers wife who does not pretend
to handle many hens, but simply a suf-
fciency for her W use and those she
sells nee a week at the village near by,
has four dozen eggs each evening and a
few over. These four dozen average her
from twenty to twenty-five cents per
dozen, or eighty cents a day as an aver
age, md six days would bring 81. 80,
and $500 per month, for at least six
months of twelve in the year, $115. 30
per annum sure, but more than that by
SIS is about certain. This one item,
without speaking of the number of sur
plus chickens that she will sell in the
market, will pay the taxes on the farm
and buy some clothing besides, and still
some farmers can't see where there is
much to speak of in a flock of chickens,
ducks or turkeys. Certainly with the
reasonable facts here before you it should
convince you that you are wrong, and
the time to begin for your own good is
right now.-American Farmer.

CARE OF YOUNG ORCHARDS.

The best treatment for a young
orchard is to keep the surface Of the
ground mellow and clean. II while the
orchard is starting the owner feels that
he must use the land for some productive
crop it should be some hoed crsp that re-
quires clean cultivation. Corn answers
well for this purpose, the partial shade
which it affords the young trees during
the bot months being OF ONE advsR-
tage. Pear trees should have no ma.
nuring, as they will not stand forcing,
blight setting in when they grow too
repidly.-Chicago Times.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. RrFoRMER's Plan


The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes recently
held the first Of a series OF Sunday afternoon
conferences on licensing reform in st,
James, Hall, London. He said the liquor
traffic was a very strong power, and 1t
would naturally in the coming conflict have
the support of every betting man, every
scoundrel and every criminal On the other
hand, the cause of temperance would secure
the support of the churches, which were
reused at last. He knew CT no subject which
met with such a quick response as temper
ance reform on any Christian platform.
Then, again, they had the women OF England
on their size. who, although they had no
votes at present. when they did get them
would use them on the side of social reform.
He believed they were going to see a great
insurrectiUn of women against this drink
monster. Then they had a third method;
they could pray. That was their weapon
alone. He did not suppose the most vivid
imagination could picture a man praying for
the success of the drink traffic. He thought
that before they were twelve months older
they would give the liquor traffic such a
blow as it has never hal before, and one
from which it would never recover. Deal
ing with some proposed remedies, Mr..
Hughes advocated as a beginning the limi-
tation of one public house 70 every 1000 per-
sons. This would close 50, 900 out of the no.
00O at present. in existence. II the Govern
Inent simply tinkerei with the question the
liquor interest would kick them out of Office,
for they (the temperance people, would not
be there to help them. After dealing with
various methods for the limitation Of the
drink traffic, Mr.. Hughes said they would dis
cover, after trying all sorts OF methods, that
the only way to improve it was 10 improve
it oil the face of the earth altogether.
