RACK FOR FEEDING CORN FODDER.
of room, bind the fodder in bundles as
husked and haul to the barn, but II
shed room is limited stand the fodder
back in place and let it there remain
until needed for use.
Many farmers do not like to feed
fodder because the stalks are great
nuisance in the stable. The best way
to give to stock is by means Of rack
made of fence rails as shown in the
illustration. This rack is made as fol-
lows: Take large wooden forks feet
long and set them In a row 10 feet
apart and one foot in the ground. In
these lay long pole. On each side
dig trench 5 inches deep parallel to
these forks and ~ feet distant. Set
the rails in these trenches and lean
across the pole alternating from the
different sides. If they are large
enough there will be ample space for
the stock to pull the fodder through.
The length of the rack can of course
be regulated to suit the needs of the
builder. By placing this rack between
two lots it will serve as fence and
mules can be on one side and calves on
the other. The rack will last for sew.

Haul the fodder in as needed and keep
the rack full. By feeding little grain
and hay night and morning the stoci
will be kept fat all winter. They will
leave good hay and eat the fodder In
preference.
l find from experience that 10 head
of horses and two cows confined in q
lot will consume on an average two
shocks per day of heavy corn fodder
AS the expense is only for the cutting
the animals are thus kept for 20 cents

head. Let my brother farmers try thi,
as an experiment the coming winter
and they will find that when spring
comes their stock will not only be fat
but they will have some corn and hay
for sale. They will also be surprised
to see how much better the grounC
works because it was not tramped al
winter. think winter pasturing corr
ground is one of the most expensive
practices farmer can follow.-E. S

New Potato Pest Discovered.

A foreign account is given of the
appearance in Schleswig- Holstein last
summer of stalk borer of the potato
The larvae enters the stalk near the
ground, eating its way upward
through the stem or downward into
the roots, causing the destruction Of
the plant. The mature butterfly is
described as thirtytwo to forty mill
meters across the wings NEARLY one
and one-half inches). of a clear red
dish brown or copper color, with dark
border spots. The larvae is common
on glyceria, atriplex, carex, iris, reeds
and the roots of petasites. 1t is as
sumed that it is likely to become de-
structivo to the potato No means OF
repression are suggested.

1t Is Expected 20 Make Lite on Farm
Lees Laborious.
Part of the growing difficulties oc-
casioneG ny the desertion of the coun-
try and the crowding of the cities will
be remedied, perhaps, by six years
hence--in that wonderful year 1901,
which electricians set as mile post
of human progress-by the browning
of steam's rival. Machinery is rapidly
taking the deadening drudgery out of
farm work, is making it more profit
able when conducted scientifically
and on large scale, and is causing it
to attract the attention of city people
who long for the healthful fields.
Only the bodily discomforts of farm
work have prevented an exodus from
the cities to the country. Already
electricity is turning its attention to
the long-neglected farm work, and has
discovered profitable results to be had
by subjecting crops to currents of
electricity. 1t is beginning to simplify
the ponderons farm machinery, and
as soon as the storage battery has re-
ceiyed its finishing touches and can
be applied to tightening the farmers
toll and increasing his profits, the
farmer will be looked upon with envy
by the prisoners of city streets
and counting house walls. Those par
ticular effects of electricity upon farm
machinery and farm life are, how
ever, visible chiefly in the Imagination
at present, and are not at all likely 60
be realized in six years; but one great
change may be looked for in this di-
rection in the immediate future, and
that is the improvement of the farm
er's condition by means of good roads
and the rapid transit which electricity
lssalmost ready to bring, thus greatly
enlarging his market and bringing
him higher prices for fresher products,
and also bringing him closer to the
life ani pleasure and stimulating eff
feet of the city. There is to be a
wonderful change in farm life in the
more thiclsly-settled parts of the coun.
try in a few years, and rapid transit
will be largely responsible for it.
The cheap transmission Of electrical
power must bring soon many changes
that will be felt in the city household
and perhaps the chief of them will be
the abolition of the cook stove, as it is
known at present The small electric
heater has already begun to take its
place, and it is almost certain that
even in six years coal will be banished
from a majority of the kitchens in
cities adjacent to water power, from
which electricity is generated. Wher
heat is wanted for cooking purposes il
will be had at moments notice by

Few Dishes to Wash .

To the early settlers of some parts OF
New York many of the domestic con-
veniences now considered necessary in
every household were practically un-
known. Few dishes were used upon
the tables. 1t was not uncommon to
see a family of eight or ten persons
seated at an old-fashioned round table,
each with spoon, eating from single
dish of supaan-a kind of pudding.
Each one had cavity in the pudding,
filed with milk, from which he or she
was allowed freely to scoop. Plates,
like bowls, were not considered in6is-
pensable. Each member of the family
seated at the round table, the quality
and neatness of which no cloth con-
cealed-was given a large slice of
bread, upon which he ate his meat and
potatoes; after which the temporary
plate was broken up, thrust into a dish
to receive coat of dope-gravy-and
soon devoured. Bread was then sliced
by one of the heads of the family and
dealt out around the table. Rice and
milk, like supaan, was eaten from one
dish, after receiving the liberal scrap
ing of cake of maple sugar. Happy
DAYS were those for the housewife who
was not called upon to give her time
and strength to the drudgery of dish
washing.-N. Y. Journal.

PIG-PEN POINTERS.


ARRANGE to commence feeding the
fattening hogs early.
ONE objection to corn as an exclusive
ration to hogs is that it is a hard grain
to digest.
THE best preventive against swine
disease is generally cleanliness and
plenty of wholesome food.
WHEN a good brood SOW gets her
full growth her litters will be larger,
healthier and more uniform.
AN abundance Of muscle-forming
food is required to build up hogs
system and keep him healthy.
WITH the many and of the poores,
plans of management is that of ex'
changing males between neighbors
it is only in fact system of inbreed
ing that is certain to tell sooner OF
later.
In securing choice pigs the selection
of the male is of the utmost import
ance, and 1t is only by using one that
is thoroughbred and possesses good
individual merit that the best results
are possible.
The greatest quantity of meat in
the SHORTEST time cannot be secured
without good breeding and suitable
feeding while we cannot secure good
quality without a continuation o.
good management
In nearly all cases when early pigs
are desired it will nearly always bt
best to depend upon old sows tha'

self to be a good mother If this il

My way Of utilizing corn STALKS for
feed is to begin cutting the corn as
soon as the stalks and lower half of
the blades begin to turn brown. II
cut too green the corn will be light Ia
grain although the stalks will make
better fodder. What will be gained
in superior forage will be lost in the
grain. Make shocks 10 hills square or
if the corn has been drilled, cut 10
rows one way and 10 steps the other.
With strong rope, to one end of
which is attached an iron ring, draw
the top of the shock together and Sc
curely tie with binding Irvine. If this
work is properly done they will stand
the winter. We pay for cutting 10
cents shock, the price depending
somewhat upon the heaviness of the
corn.
