FEEDING CORN STALKS.

Corn stalks have n greater FEEDING
value than is usually accredited TO
them, and if the farmers would exer-
else more care in securing them in
good condition, this so-called refuse
OF the corn crop would he in more de-
mand. In old settled sections corn
stalks are worth two and n half To
three cents per bundle, common
stock being divided into two bundles
ut husking times. or about sixteen
hills to the bundle, and when the
stalks ere of medium size and proper
ly cured, at the prices named they are
equal IN value TO good timothy at ten
dollars per ton. Where n cutting box
Is at hand and the stalks are reduced
TO less than an inch in length. the
whole daInpened aud sprinklcd with
meal, the feeding value is greatly in
creased over the small expenses en-
tailed III this preparation. The cut
ter that brushes, or shreds the stalk.
when cutting them into uniform
lengths, should be used if possible.
owing TO the liability to heat and mil
dew, stalks should be fed out before
the warm weather of spring opens. If
the stalks are TO be fed whole they are
made more paIntable by sprinkliup
water over them strongly impregnated
with suit; tins sailed water also adds
to the feeding value Of damaged bay.
and If sprinkled over ont or barley
straw stock will eat it up much

stalks taken from the maugcr, after
being stripped OF their leaves. into the
barnyard, as it makes the handling of
manure tedious operation. Feed Che

which is probably liberal estimat .
even at the high cost of horse feed ir
this section.
The cost of food, moreover, is not
the only item to be considered in es
timating the amount TO be charged
against the working horse. A fair
amount must be allowed for cost of
litter, for use and wear of barn, for
brushes, currycombs, etc, for cost
of shoeing, for wear of harness, for
depreciation as the animal grows
older, for risk of accident or disease,
and for interest on the cost OF the
horse. All these items would, accord
ing to estimates at hand, amount to
nearly another dollar per week, q
the average.
Hence it is evident that the cost of
u large Woodworking horse must he
estimated ut about S3 per week, which
in the course of the year would cover
the cost value OF n first-class farm
horse in this section.
1t is probable, however, as horses
are generally fed and worked on New
England farms, that the cost of feed,
etc, is considerably less than the
above, which may be called an outside
estimate. -Massachuse it's Ploughman.

ONION FERTILIZATION.

Onions need very liberal manurino
with plant food that is rich in all three
of the elements which we seek in
manure, but especially in nitrogen and
potash. writes j. j. H. Gregory. There
are some crude forms of plant food
which, decaying slowly, prolong the
growth OF the crop SO late in the sea-
son that the frost catches them in n
green state. This is especially true of
tho sea maDures. 1t is therefore not
wise to manure too heavily with these.
yet the crop must he very literally fed
to insure success, but good BARNARD
manure should replace half the sen
manure, which should be well rotted
into the barn manure before applied
No man should attempt to raise n
hrst-clGss crop Of onions with less than
twelve TO fifteen cords of rich manure
TO the acre where manure alone is de-
pended upon. A better plan is TO use
the value OF three cords OF the manure

ONE WAY TO GET MARRIED.

the ceremony intently, and copied
each movement made by the bride
and bridegroom, whom the priest was
making man and wife. As they kuelt
down so did the other couple kneel.
and when the bridegroom placed the
ring on the brides finger the young
mulatto did likewise. At length,
when the procession emerged from
the church, the humble couple fol-
lowed, looking as if they we're mar

indeed, their belief. They had no

The most durable timber for posts
set in the ground are sassafrqss,
locust, chestnut and white oaks,
In the order named. The posts will
last much longer if they are well
seasoned and then painted with tar
or hot linseed oil. But this will be
an injury to green posts, as it keeps
the moisture in, while it keeps it out
OF the dry posts, and moisture en-
courages decay of timber. Green
posts may BIO much improved by the
following process: A pit three feet
deep is made and some quicklime is
spread on the bottom; the posts are
set in this, butt down, and some small
lime is filed in between them; water
IS then poured in to slnke the lime;
heat Is produced. which drives the
moisture ont of the timber, and, when
the lime cools, the lime water is alb
sorbed by the timber, by which it is
made more durable. - New York

WHAT KIND OF SHOES TO wrAp

A doctor says that it is great mis-.
take for all women to suppose that the

He adds that there are feet that
should wear nothing else and that are

often substituted. The way to deter
mine what is best for the feet is to
place the stockinged foot upon the
floor and to notice where the big. toe
comes. If it is on line with the
others, then the square toed shoe is
required. If it decidedly projects be-
yond the others, the pointed toe is
better. New York Telegram.
