One of the best ways to feed corn
crop to fa.tening steers during winter
Is to snap and put it through crusher
or cutter for cutting ears and husks to-
gether. The corn should be snapped
rather closely SO as to remove the outer
and coarser husks. BY cutting the re-
mainder are we'll mixed with the grain
and the whole is in good form for
feeding. 1t is better relished and un-
doubtedly better digested than
huslsed corn, as it keeps softer and
does not become so dry, and the husks
give coarse feed that is taken along
with the grain. But very little hay

LIFE ON THE FARM.

why It Is Preferable to All Other known
Vacations.
Probably few men with full knowl-
edge of all the conditions would en-
gage in farming with the expectation
of making fortune at the business.
Yet, if fortunes from farming are the
exception, absolute failures in it are
probably fewer in number than in al
most any other calling. It is said that
90 per cent. of city business men fail in
business, sooner or later. Besides
these, many others exc out precari-
GUS, hand-to-mouth existence. and APP
parently never know where they are
at" Does the agricultural class make
any such miserable showing as this?
If farming isn't all that might be de-
sired. isn't it more of certainty than
figures would indicate some other vo-
cations to be? Isn't there, too. less
wear and tear on the nervous organi-
cation, more solid comfort, less sham,
more real enjoyment than in many
other cailings in life? In short. all
things considered, isn't the farm life
preferable to the others?-Rura. New
Yorker.
