THE ErFEt"r Or PULLING FODDER.-
S,Eipping the leaves frnm the standing
stu1ks>Hf corn while in their best green
condition, ,var.nitc common practice
in some sections OF thsse country. When
properly cared and e,9uI6sGrs- in bundles
they make cvccllent winter lIoooei
and it is generally considered that the,
pulling Of the leaves cause no decrease
IN production OF grain. 10 test tho
qn' stion OF loss or gain, experiments
wore made on Is plats at the Georgia
station. From onc-half of each tho
leaves were stripped and the fodder
carefully cured and dried.
The plnts from which the blades
we're stripped yielded 23.9 bushels of
shollcd corn per acre. The unstrip-
ped plat gave yield OF 27.3 bushels
per acre, Il loss OF 3.4 bushels as the re-
suit Of pulling the fodder. But tho
ylcld OF fodder was 270 pounds per
acre : at IL cost for pulling and curing
ol 81 cents. In other words, there was
loss equal to 1904 pounds of corn and
gain of 27O pounds of fodder.
From tho above and similar trial
preceding it, the conclusion is reached
that the strongest argument against
the practice is tho meager results in
fodder compared with the amount OF
labor involved. The same labor em-
ploycd in moving grass or any other
good forage crops, even without the
use OF improved harvesting machinery,
would yield vastly greater results.

to restrain himself. John Bull in the
meantime came back at me every time

said Remember, old chap, don't
blame me if you lose your money. l
don't want it.
Il had no sooner said this than the
man on the lounge rolled off T. and fell
to the floor. He got up with tears
running down his cheeks and made his
way into the bedroom. There he threw
himself on the bed and yelled. 1t WASH t

1.-The Sylph' left his chair and leaned
against the wall in corner. He shook
so hard that the glasses on the side

of heart failure.
Il said to myself, They can't be try

THE Scotchman at last became in

first looking at John Bull and myself,
and then at the two who were laughing
fit to split their sides. Finally he got
up from his chair, and in a whisper
asked The Sylph' what all the row was
about. The Sylph' could not speak,
but walked into the bedroom. There
he was followed by the Scotchman.
There l could hear muffled con-
versation, and then the trio began to
roar. Whenever l suggested to John
Bull that he might regret his evenings

roars OF laughter.
Finally John Bull got to the end Of
his last pile, and putting the last crown

so many hyenas, and only then did
understand why they had done nothing

1T took me little while to see the
humor of the situation, but finally did.
And the most painful feature of the
affair was that John Bull thought he

He had simply followed the advice Of

Which brings me to remark how news
paper editing in this city proceeds by
proxy. For instance, Bennett and Pu-
liter editorially supervise Herald and
World by cable, as Reid looks after his
Tribune by telegraph. And even new

after his realty interests, or in San
