Very few of our farmers appreciate the vslus
of eorn-fodder as feed for cattle. On many
of the larger farms it is never cut, but When
the corn has been gathered the cattle are
turned on it. By the time the corn is gathered
the fodder is dried so much that it is not good
food for the CATTLE and the greater part of it is
wasted by being run over by the cattle By
cutting the fodder Winter food is provided
for the cattle that, when fed with grain OF
grass. is one OF the best to keep the stock IN
good condition. If cut while the blades ara
still green and stored it will keep its color and
be greatly relished by the cattle. Unlike other
crops, it is only of secondary Importance, the
corn more than paying for the cultivation,
while the fodder, if taken proper care Of, viii
greatly increase the profit. Another advantage
the corn fodder has over the hay is that it
comes when the work on the farm has become
light and it can be taken care of without extra
help.

The weeds generally get start during har-
vest time This should not be; it is best 70
divide the time and keep the weeds down, a.
the crops once stunted by weeds rarely make
the growth that they otherwise would. Weeds
take q large amount of moisture from the
ground which at this dry season is needed by
the plants to mature and ripen the crop, willis
cultivation enables the dew and moisture to
penetrate the soil. 1t may require little ex-
ira help to do this. but do not let the item Of
present economy oYershadOw that of future

birds are also kept away from the fruit Grapes

HOW LONE JACK GOT HIS NAME.

is this:

OUR RURAL TOPICS
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

On the cultivation and mulchinz given thu
rsspberries now depend the growth of the new
canes, and on their growth the fruit crop Of
next season. After the fruit is all gathered cut
the old canes and burn them. This will destroy
many injurious insects which would otherwise
go to the canes that are left and ruin the crop
next season. Pinch the tops out Of the later
canes to give them = bushy growth. and also
pinch the earlier growth if il has not been
done before. All canes not needed should BE-
cut and burned with the old ones. Give shall
low culture to them during July. Liberal
mulching Is very essential to good growth.
All vines that are inclined to rust should b
dug up, and replaced by others later in the sea-
son.
Brussels sprouts are fast gaining favor among
the buyers Of vegetables in this country. They
were almost entirely unknown to our markets
until the last few years, but in Belgium, from
which country we import most Of our seed,
they have been raised successfully for deeadea
There seems to be no obstacle to raising the
seed in this country and in a few years they
can be obtained at more reasonable prices. For
planting, the seed should be obtained from some
dealer who has always had the reputation Of
selling the best. and only the best. as many Of
those having the seed for sale do not care
whether they grow or not The land is pre-
pared in the same way as FOR late cabbaga.
Never plant where cabbage or turnips have
been grown in the last two years. The soil for
growing this vegetable should be welI-draiued
and heavily MANFRED. The seed can be sown
any time from the 18th Of June to the LIST Of
July, and are transplsnted during July or early
part of August. They are set about two feet apart
in the rows, which are generally made thrss
feet apart. The cultivation of Brussels sprouts
IS almost like that Of cabbage. The sprouts are
never gathered until after a severe frost, A
there is very little demand for them until the
cold has made other vegetables scarce. They
are very hardy plant, and can safely be left in
the ground until late in October, when they
are pulled and stored, to be sorted aud sent to
market at the convenience Of the grower. They
are prepared for market by stripping of the
coarse leaves. When other vegetables are NOS
plentiful they often bring very high price;
and altogether, there can be more money made
on them than on caulihower or cabbage.
The amount of butter that can be made from
any given quantity of milk is necessarily lin
tied to the amount of butter-fat the milk con-
tsins Advertisements of preparations said 70
increase the yield of butter often appear In
farm papers. There are many other fats in
milk besides the butter-fat, but it is 3 Door
practice for the dairyman to try to make but
ter out of articles that DO not enter into pure
butter. The old-fashioned churn will make
almost the same amount of butter as the newer
ones, although not quite so convenient, and
any preparation that is to be put into the
milk to increase the yield of butter should Be
let strictly alone.

TORNADO IN SALEM.
Houses UnrOOfed and Barns
Moved from Their FOunGla.
tfOus.. Narrow EScaDes.


SALEM, Sept. 25.-A tornado passed
over Salem during a thunder shower
at $40 p. m., and unroofed several
buildings, blew barns from their foun-
dations, and did other damage.
Samuel Powers was in his barn on
Hubbell avenue attending to his
horses when the tornado struck it and
moved it ten feet from its foundation.
MIR. Powers was thrown down but not
seriously injured. The horses also es
capped injury.
Dallas Smith, an employee at Starts
canning factory, went outdoors to
look at the weather when the tornado
struck him, lifted him off his feet and
carried him for quite a distance. He
was uninjured but does not care to
repeat the experience. A portion of
Starts canning factory was unroofed,
also the engine house at Morris OIL
Cloth Works. Lambert's canning fac
tory was damaged slightly.
The wind caused a panic among the
employees at the canning factories,
but no one was seriously injured. A
heavy rainfall accompanied the storm.

HELD UP BY A SKUNK.
Salem's Business Men Experf.
ence o Rather Lively Hunt.

SALEM, Sept. PA skunk 'sheld
up" the business portion of Salem Inst
evening. 1t was discovered In the GEL
lar under W. II. Lawson's store, ON
West Broadway, about o'clock. The,
character of the intruder was un-
known, and 1t was supposed to be q
mink. One person who said he had
hunted coons, and knew what he was
talking about, declared upon his repu-
tation as coon hunter that 1t was a
mink.
Thinking 1t was one of these ami
mals, Mr.. Lawson shot 1t, but did not
Kill 1t. Several men who had been at
tracted to the scene, entered the cellar
and belabored 1t with clubs. Then it
unmasked its battery. The men came
out of the cellar In heap. and a crowd
OF about 100 people, which had gath.
cred, dispersed. The skunk was killed.
however, but not before he had bis
revenge.
Mr.. Lawson's store is next to the
post Office and some of those who had
business there thought the mails were
being fumigated. When the Office
was opened this morning the scent
was very preceptible.
During the melee one Of the attack.
ing party was so unfortunate as to get
his head near the animal and he imme-
distely wended his way to the nearest
barber shop to have his hair cut. But
he reckoned without his host. Not g.
barber could he find who would cut
bis hair. In fact BARRIERS and custom
ers together fed the shop on his ap-
proach. He eventually got rid of the
encumbranee with pair of horse Clip
pers.
Mr.. Lawson is collector of curiosi-
ties, and has valuable collection of
antiq uities, Indian relics, coins, etc.,
but did not care to add skunk so the
list. Several weeks ago female
oppossum with litter of young was
captured in his barn, In the rear of his
| residence, on Seventh street, by
young grandson, and if his present
luck continues he may soon have
| enough to start menagerie. But he
| does not care for any more skunks.

State Items.

The Presbyterian Synod of New Jer.
sey will meet in annual session In
Bridgeton on Tuesday October II, to
continue in session three days. There
will be 800 Ministers and Elders pres.
ent. One of the evenings will be de-
voted to a''popular" meeting, when the
subject of State legislation and reforms
will be discussed.
A Fall River manufacturer who was
before the Ways and Means Com
mittee last Friday, asked the tariff
smashers this question: "You have
1t In your power to regulate the wage 8
of your employees. Will you give them
bread or stone?" And in that pithy
inquiry there is more of fact and argu-
ment for wage earners than in all the
free trade orations to which they lis
tened during the last campaign.
