cicty by Their Goings On.
Polite society III London has had an
other severe shock iii the announcement
that ono of the most eligible young men
i'll the matrimonial market has engaged
himself to pert young person playing
second cato part at the Gaiety theater.
The gentleman is Majoribanks, tho cid
est son of Lord Twoedlnouth. one of the
weaithlest of peers, and the lady is Miss
Birdie Sutherland, better known per
hapS rs the sister of Lilly Harold. the
coincidence and singer of plantation
songs, ut present grazing the Drury
Lane pantomimo. Nobody has vontured
TO suggest that these two young women
arc not AS good and virtuous as they are
undeniably pretty, and it is a fact hat
they reside in "a genteel suburb with
their widowed mother and frequently
take part in local church charity con
certs, but all that, with additional proof
of severe rcspectability afforded by the
fact that their father was a clerk III the
Bank of England is scarcely sufficient
to justify their ambition TO contract an
alliance with q family the head Of
which Is member of the British cabi-
not.
Lord Twecdmouth asked newspaper
mon III the commons lobby to contradict
the report of his sons engagement,
from which it may be assumed that he
succeeded III arranging matters. But it
would not be ut all surprising if the
match would be ratified after all
Young Majoribanks, who is familiarly
known to tho habitues OF tho Gaioty

Gently illustrated in The Farm Journal.
A inch pole that is sound is placed in
the crotches Of two heavy poles we'll set,
or in the branches Of two nearby trees.
To these tho gambrels are fastened by
chains, and this improvised cylinder is
made to revolve and lift the pork by
rolling it by means of crowbar or
strong stick which fits into holes bored
into the pole at right angles. This is
prevented from rnwinding by pin
thrust into hole bored in the post. or
course pulleys and ropes are better, but
these are not always owned.
A crane stationed just outside the big
barn doors and leaning against the NOV

Exhibit of Irrigation Machinery.

Tho exhibitor machinery for raising
water made at the irrigation conven-
tion in Hutchinson, Kan, demonstrated
that at least in the Arkansas bottoms n
big ditch full Of water can be provided
without very expensive appliances
Pumps were there each throwing 4, 900
gallons Of water per minute. These woro
each driven by common thrasher's 3 en-
gine. There were also smaller machines
doing proportionateiy heavy work.
There We're gasoline engines of several
makes, all doing excellent work in the
operation of pumps. Without doubt the
use Of these engines is to be greatly in
creased, where a supply of water is de-
sired, without fail, at the time most
needed, and where the quantity must be
above the capacity Of the windmill and
below 10 or 10 horsepower. Windmills
were there in great numbers and vari-
ETY., and they received merited attention.
The beginner at irrigation first thinks
Of the wind as tho most desirable mo-
tive power, and there is no doubt about
the practicability of irrigating consider
able areas, and especially gardens, by
the use OF wind power.

For Fattening Hogs.

Professor j. II. Shepperd is credited
with saying:
From all published data should re-.
gard wheat about equal in value to corn.
Barley seems to be worth about per
cent less than corn. The real value of
wheat as feed can be learned only by
comparing its price with that Of other
grains. IL barley, corn and shorts are
cheap enough to produce 100 pounds Of
pork at less cost than wheat, it is folly
to feed wheat. However, with wheat at
its present low price and other grains
high. it will in very many cases pay to
feed the wheat, and especially that
which is "off" in grade The value'a at
the farm Of wheat, corn or other foods
should determine which to use.

CUT FODDER.

An Illinois Farmers Experience with .
Corn Husker and Fodder Shredder.
The following experience is related
by an Illinois farmer in q letter to
American Agriculturist:
About year ago neighbor and my
self secured corn husker and fodder
shredder. This machine was set so that
the fodder could be elevated to the hay
NOW of barn. Fodder was hauled from
the field on low wheeled wagons, run
through the husker and the shredded
material stored in one bent Of my barn.
The carrier being 2S feet long one man
was able to place the fodder as it came
from the machine. A great amount
can be stored in small space. Last sea-
son I put 312 shocks 12 hills square in
a section of my NOW 26 feet wide, ls
feet long and s feet to where the roof
touched the side of the barn.
Low wheeled wagons are great ad-
vantage i'll hauling. Werigged them up
ourselves. One is made from q set of
binder trucks coupled SO it will be 1S
feet long. The other two consist of old
wagons. the wheels of which were re-
placed by low ones On these we built
racks without bows Five to eight
shocks are hauled at load. The fodder
is fed to the machine much as wheat or
oats. We begin this work when the ears
are dry enough to crib No attention is
paid to dry weather, for by proper han
ding and little tramping ON the load
only few blades are lost. At the ma
chine all loose fodder is carefully cleaned
up. A rope running from front end of
rack to rear keeps the load in place
when the wagon is in motion.
Last winter 20 acres of good corn
cared for in this way furnished sufficient
roughness for wintering 20 head of COWS
and horses. Nothing is wasted. OF
course the pithy wood parts of the stalk
are not eaten, but this makes excellent
bedding and absorbs liquid manure. We
cut fodder for our neighbors at the rate
of 8 cents per husked bushel, which is
equivalent TO So or 50. so per acre.
Many thrashers now have machines, and
q goodly number of farmers in the vicin-
ity are having their feed prepared in
this way. This enables them to sell
much Of their straw and hay. This
shredded fodder also sells for 81. SO per
ton. Some farmers intend to bale and
ship it.

WHAT Is YOUR ROTATION,


AU0
Yodr Markets?
There is room for divergence of opin.
ion as to what rotation is the most prof.
liable, but in most sections good farm.
ers have rotations especially adapted
10 their own farms. These may he short
or long, and usually in any country or
section the older the country the longer
the rotation. Almost all farmers every.
where have rotation such as this: Corn,
and oats and then corn. or corn, oats and
wheat, and then corn. Others again
have corn, oats, wheat, meadow, pasture
and then corn. In many sections of this
country this is not bud one, but a
writer in the Iowa Homestead points
out the fact that a rotation is not a good
one unless it provides for tho mainte-
nance of soil fertility, and he knows of
no country in which this has been done
without the use of the legumes, such as
clover, beans or peas. He says:
In sections where either fall or spring
wheat grows well, and where stock
growing and feeding is one of the main
features of the farm, the rotation of
corn on sod. oats, spring or fall wheat,
clover and timothy for meadow, then
pasture one to two years, and then back
to corn, is very desirable one 1t pro-
vides in corn hoed, or, we should
rather say cultivated, crop on land
which has an abundance of vegetable
matter in that state of decomposition i'll
which the roots of corn luxuriate, and
in the corn growing sections it is gen.
erally wise to follow corn with corn,
thus securing two heavy crops from rich
soil. Beyond this it is not wise to 20,
as the corn root worm will inevitably
appear and decrease the crop in ordinary
years from 10 to 20 per cent.
Oats can then be sown without plow.
ing, and, MS rule, to better advantage
without plowing than with it. Where
wheat is profitable crop in ordinary
years, grass seed may then be sown, and
If seed is not too high it will pay to SOW
it anyhow, even ifsit is to be plowed un.
der in the fall for crop of winter
wheat. This, again. furnishes the best
nurse crop for the grasses, insuring a
stand in ordinary seasons, and the mead
ows treated in this way furnish an ex-
cellent crop Of hay, and, if clover pre-
dominates, crop Of seed. Where timo-
thy is not sown with clover it is best to
go back to corn aftera clover seed crop,
thus making n short four years rota-
tion, but where there is no pasture OK.
cept that furnished by fields in the rota-
tion it is wise to SOW timothy and pas
ture one or two years before going back
to corn.
