A VETERANS VERDICT.
The War is Over. A Well-known Sol- dier, Correspondent and Journal

Indiana contributed her thousands of brave soldiers to the war; and no state bears bet ter record in that respect than it does. In literature 1t is rapidly acquiring an enviable place. In war and literature Solomon Yewell well known as a writer as "sol,r has won an honorable position. Dur ing the late war he was member of Co. M, 2d. N. Y.

The German plan. followed by those

The German plan, followed by those
having small farms and but few cat
tie, is to cut the fodder up into half.
inch lengths: They mix a half bushel
of the fodder With two quarts of mill
feed, adding little salt to season the
mess, and then scald it with two gal
Ions of hot water. Cover it up with q
bag, and let it soak for several hours
before feeding. This softens the hard
stalks, and makes it palatable and
hourishing feed. If the fodder is just
mixed with the millfeed and cold water
and fed at once, the cattle will not eat
the hard stalks; but will leave it.
Fodder should always be fed in con.
nection with mixed timothy or clover
hay. Fodder alone will not make q
largo quantity of milk, neither will it
be rich milk. The three combined
that is, the hay, fodder, and millfeed
and corn chop--will give the COW all
the feed it needs, for the cows
stomach, being large, must be filled.
She will repay this generous treatment
by giving large quantity of rich milk
daily, and keeping in excellent order
at the same time. If the fodder is first
cut into two-inch lengths, and is to be
fed in boxes, feed it dry. Baltimore

Big Bridges.

They are indulging in some big
bridge talk in Europe. The high-level
bridge across the Mersey Mt Liverpool
is to consist of the three spans on the
arched suspension principle, each 1850
feet, $50 feet above the river at high
water. There is to be double rail
way track, roadway forty feet wide
for vehicles, and sidewalks or foot
paths. The railway bridge proposed
across the Bosphorus at CONSTANT
nople would be S645 feet long, or
nearly the length of the Forth bridge.
The projected Channel bridge between
England and France runs in n straight
line from the South Foreland to Cape
Blanz Nez. The structure, rs now
proposed, would consist of seventy
three spans, alternately 1900 feet and
1925 feet long. It would give clear
Roadway of ITS feet at every point be,
tween the piers. Two bridges just
completed across the new North sen
and Baltic canal have spans of $50 feet
each, and besides railways, carry also
a common roadway and foot paths.
The new East river New York;
bridge, rs projected, is to take six or
seven years to complete. The span
will be 1910 feet; the total length,
from anchor to anchor, 5000 feet.
The towers will be $50 feet high, and
the centre of the bridge, above mean
high water mark, will be 140 feet, five
feet higher than the present bridge.
There will be four railroad tracks. The
North River bridge, for which the
House of Representatives has passed n
bill, is required to have clear water.
way of 1000 feet, and clear Roadway
above high water of spring tides ofnot
less than $50 feet. New York is unique
among the worlds cities of the first
class in the greatness of its needs of
river bridges, and in the almost total
lack of such accommodation. The ferry
lines, although thirteen in number on
the two rivers, can never serve the
purpose of bridges for heavy city
traffic.-New York Commercial Adj.

FOOD TO rArrEN A HORSE.

1t is not good thing to keep a
horse fat. Fat is only an obstacle to
work. as it adds to the weight of tho
animal and reduces the ability of the
muscles to do work.. The best condi.
ton of horse is that in which the
muscles are well developed and kept
firm and hard. Too much fat softens
the muscles and disables it for hard or
rapid work, causing profuse sweating,
which weakens the animal. Good
Judgment is necessary to feed a horse
properly, and it is the reverse of this
to make it fat. A standard daily ra-
ton for II horse of 1000 pounds is
made up of sixteen pounds of mixed
corn and oats ground together with n
bushel of cut hay, OF half hay and half
good oat straw. The cut hay is wetted
and the ground meal is mixed with it,
n handful of salt being added. If the
work Is extra hard, four quarts of good
oats may be given at noon with a little
long hay. Otherwise the hay may he
given alone at noon. The horse should
be watercd Mt least ten minutes before
feeding. New York Times.

cheapest feeds, and usually the most
abundant on most farms. it is we'll to
know how to feed Utmost economically
and to the very best advantage. Since
the hay and fodder cutters have been
so much improved, the cutting up OF
the coarse feed is much easier mat
ter than it formerly was. If the fod-
der is to be fed dry, it is best to cut it
in two-inch lengths. On the other
hand, if it is to be fed mixed with
millfeed, it should be cut from three
quarters of an inch to half an inch in
length.

Most valuable Insect in the World.

One naturally thinks of butterflies
in connection only with flowers, and
flowers, suggest sunshine and warmth.
But there is no place on this earth
except upon its great seas and oceans
where butterflies cannot be found.
OF course the plains of tropical coun-
tries abound with them, but some of
the most beautiful forms are found in
the mountain passes of Darieeling and
Skim, in the Himnlayas, and on the
frigid attitudes of Thibet, Cashmere,
Toorkistan and the Pamirs. Lieuten.

facts about butterflies are CLEANED,

one of the gems of the collection Of
MIR. Neumoegen, of New York, is his

insect, the only one of its kind ever
captured, was taken on the Island of
Sumbawa, southeast of Java. Received

ECONOMY IN GOOD FARM BUILDINGS


Good farming implies warm shelters
FOR stock in inclement weather. Warm
stables prevent loss of flesh and
vitality from cold or wet weather, and
at the same time enable the farmer to
effect the greatest possible saving
OF animal eDrementH for manure.
The increased amount and vnlue OF
the weddings of sheltered animals will
pay large interest on the cost of the
buildings. Tie saving in feed re-
CURED for maintenance will go far
toward paying rent on the structures.
Good economy requires that the farm
buildings be built of sound, sub
stantinl, durable materials, and that
they be well built. Then the cost of
repairs will be reduced to minimum.
The farmers dwelling should also be
well built of the best materials, and
SO conveniently arranged as to make
the housework as light MS possible.
This is question of economy rs we'll
ms question of justice to the weaker
sex who are part of the working force
OF the farm. The farmers dwelling
should be well lighted, we'll ventilated
and well severed, SO us to preserve
the health and efficiency of its in
mates, and the idea of beauty should
have full effect in the location and
architecture of the farm dwell
and all of its environments, inciu
its ornamental grounds, kitchen ana

EEED1Sa WHEAT TO MICH cows.

1t is claimed TINT many Pennsylvania
farmers are holding old wheat for
higher prices. Also that the present
price of sixty five cents per bushel is
rulnous because farmers should receive
from ninety cents to 81 per bushel to
make wheat growing pay. And again,
that wheat, oats and corn are about on
par, or worth, say, one cent per
pound. These conditions, it is averred,
have induced the farmers to "chop"
their wheat for feed. That word
"chop' is misleading, perhaps, because
1T docs not mean cut up, in and with
the straw, but having it ground coarse.
1t would do the stock more good and
be i'll better shape for assimilation,
either for flesh or milk, to have it
ground almost ms fine as for -four.
Wheat contains more starch in pro-
portion to bulk than corn. If one
splits kernel of corn lengthwise, he
can, with the naked eye, see fair pic
ture of the elements, to wit: Starch,
oil and phosphate or the chit. The
more oil the more fattening, while both

constitute very rich ration and should
be carefully given. There would be c
tendency to sickness or surfeit among
the cattle until they had become used
to it. If green food could be given it
would in a measure counterfeit that
tendency by keeping the bowels loose.
Give salt regularly, at least once day.
Give water freely. and if the excre-
ments are 'redolent" with sourness
