One of the most curious applications
of the monograph to practical use was
made by an American student of lam

asked an acquaintance TO send him an
Instructor When the latter arrived he
proved to be Chinaman Of unpromis-

and pupil got on well the first day, but
the latter found his instructor so often
sive in personal characteristics that he
decided to avail himself of his knowl-
edge without enduring his presence,
So the Chinama was set to work to
talk his lesson into a monograph and
at night the pupil, having gone to bed
with the lights out, turned on the
photograph and memorized the lesson.

should be two races or overfows, and
one should be fully six inches lower
than the other They should be double
the capacity of the usual flow of the
stream. Both of the races should be
from six to eighteen inches below the
top of the dam, so that no water can
ever run over the top of the dam even
in the heaviest freshet. Each race or
overflow should be made of planks
long enough to throw the water good
distance beyond the base of the dam,
so the dam will not be undermined. If
fish are to be kept in the pond each
race must be protected by wire net
to prevent their escape. The plank
wall not only supports the dam, but it
prevents the digging through it of
muskrats, etc, which often start a
leak that is not noticed until the dam
is ruined. These boards when covered
from the air will last almost indefinite
ly. For temporary use, such as float
ing the bog for cranberries, cutting
ice, irrigation, etc, where it is almost
dead level, less precaution and ex-
pensive work will be necessary. Elk

CORN FODDER TESTS.


Being impressed with the fact that in
many sections of Maryland there was
much valuable food material going "a
waste, which if properly preserved
would save the expense OF purchasing
hay and also enable farmers to keep
more stock, feeding experiment was
undertaken at the Maryland station to
test the most economical method OF
preparing and utilizing corn fodder and
determining the digestibility of various
parts of the plant These experiments
which were made in 1912 form the
subject of bulletin recently issued
from the station. Here is summary
of the reported results;
/. All parts of the corn plant contain
valuable food materials, the dry mat
ter nearly the same composition.
| 9. The corn stubble and husbs con.
tain nearly go per cent of the total
digestible matterproduced by the plant
and the blades only u per cent.
3. Corn husl1s or shucks contain "
per cent. of digestible matter
| II Wi II ouuDOlC VI DulIo COnlulu w q
per cent. of digestible matter.
5. Corn blades or leaves contain 64S
per cent, of digestible matter.
g. Top corn fodder contains So pei
cent. of digestible matter.
T, There is more digestible matter
contained in the corn fodder from one
acre than in the ears,
s. The corn fodder from one acre
yields as much digestible matter as two
tons of timothy hay.
0. There is enough digestible matter
produced by the corn fodder grown in
! the southern states to winter all the
stock in those states if it was properly
preserved and prepared in palatable
form.
10. By cutting and crushing the corr
stalks cattle will eat aud utilize nearly
all of them.
II. Corn fodder furnishes food ricl
in digestible carbohydrates.
IL. Corn fodder when fed alone will
nearly maintain cattle, but should b.
supplemented with some food rich il
nitrogen when feeding for the produc
ton of growth, flesh or milk.

Poultry Raising Experiment.

An experienced poultryman of New
York state recently concluded a years
experiment for feeding hens for the
production of eggs. The point was to
prove that laying hens may be con-
fined in a small space, fed no flesh, sue
culent feed or condiments, and at the
same time be healthy and return Il
good profit, 'Fhc hen-house floor con-
tains seven square feet of surface TO a
hen. and the run is five rods square.
The feed consisted of wheat bran six
parts By weight, two parts middling
and one part corn-meal. This was
mixed into mush with milk in sum
mcr aud hot water in winter for the
morning meal. Through the day they
had access to this mixture dry, all
they would ent. In addition, and in
cold weather only, they were fed a Int
tie whole grain of various kinds,

Preparation of New Ground.

The latest bulletin of the South Car
DINA station gives the result of fer
tilizer experiments with corn. The
bulletin also gives the different results
of thorough and slovenly preparation
of new ground Two acres of land
were left unbroken, except just enough
in which to plant each row of corn, to
be broken at the first cultivation of
the corn, The result was that just
three times as much tine and three
times as hard labor was required to
cultivate these two acres as any other
two in the field. and the corn matured
ten days later than upon the land
which was prepared before planting.

Sheep Husbandry VIII Suffer Until the

A writer in the National Stockman
says: Massachusetts, has $4,000 sheep
and 6S, 900 dogs. Ii is not to be won.
dered at that the sheep industry is at
low ebb in that state. Sheep men have
tried many times to have dog laws en-
acted by the legislature that would in
some measure protect their fiocks; but
dog owners being so much more numer
Gus than sheep owners all efforts in
that direction are futile. In New York
where there are probably dozen sheep
to dog, no dog law worth cent
can be enacted, although at every SEES
sion of the legislature effort is made to
secure proper protection to sheep fror
ravages of dogs. In this fight every
dog is the upper dog" but he will
not always be. There is latent sense
of justice resting in the people which
will exhibit itself sometime. Well-fed
and well-cared-for dogs are useful tc
some farmers and are harmless. 1t is
the half-starved ours that generally dc
the mischief, and these belong to poor
people who have no use for them and
can i'll afford to keep them. Near me a
poor family had four and in one night
they destroyed sheep to the value of
about 5000. Another such family
had seven dogs, all grown, and the
next neiphbor to them lost several
sheep. This man had not a
house or lot of his own but
lived in an old 'shanty." lie does
not raise dogs to sell. Lately he moved
to another neighborhood, and it was an
interesting sight to see him going
along the road with his dog bundled
into crate, drawn by an old horse.
Such are the dogs that most need sup.

There is certain way that expert
enced stockmen know of throwing a
horse down so as to break his neck and
kill him at once. An ordinary halter
is put ON the horse, the lead strap from
it passed between the horses front
legs, turn being taken around the far
one near the fetlock. The executioner
then hits the horse a sharp cut with a
whip. and when he jumps up pulls
sharply and strongly on the halter
strap The horse strikes head first
with the entire weight on his neck.
The fall is Invariably fatal.
