WHY He declined.

A man named Simmons is said to
have declined to become the private
secretary of a man named Green for
a peculiar reason. The salary was
tempting, and the work would have
been light and agreeable; but then,
as he said, he couldn't bear the
thought of signing letters, "Green,

CUT AND UNCUT FODDER.

1t is reported that the Wisconsin
Station took two lots of COWS and di-
vided them as nearly as possible as to
milking qualities, and fed one whole
corn fodder and the other the same
kid of fodder, but cut up into half
inch lengths, with the result that 72l
pounds OF the cut fodder produced as
much milk as 100 pounds fed whole.
Here is an important matter if the re.
ported figures will come out practi-
cally the same on a repeated expert
ment. Here is an economy in feeding
cut fodder that amounts to over fifty
per cent, and yet we are told that
cutting feed adds nothing to it, only
induces the cattle to eat more of it,
and with less waste; but this is u
case that seems TO totally disprove it,
and tbs little like buying two stoves
to save fuel. Then we are told that
shredded fodder gave yet better re-
suit than where the fodder was
cut. The only Explanation that
We are able to give is that
there was less nerve and muscle
force used in the mastication of the
cut fodder. Just now we have a Curl
ous little experience in feeding stalks.
We had a few more than could be got
into the silos and cured them out
nicely, also a small lot of field corn
fodder, Of course much finer than the
silage. When the silage fodder was
gone the COWS were fed the field corn
stalks, not closely husked. Seemingly
more of the latter were eaten, and
much more cleanIy, yet there was an
almost instant shrlnka9e of milk,
necessitating the 0 ening of the silos
to regain the shrinkage. 1t would be
a good experiment for some of our
farmer readers to take few COWS, and
try the experiment OF cut and uncut
fodder and its effect on the milk flow.

THE SECRET OF RAISING EARLY LANDS
Rising early hmbs is proving a
profitable industry to those who
understand it.. The earlier lambs
can be sold in the large city mar
kets, the higher the price. The
Cornell Experiment Station has made
test of various breeds for early
lamb raising, extending over sew
eral yeors. It finds that the Dorset
Horned sheep breed earlier. and fat

Other things being equal, the Dorset

II Harriet Ueccher Stowe had done
nothing else her production OF "Unclc
Toms Cabin" would entItle her to last
Ing fame. That was book with Il pur-
pose, and how much It contributed to
the accomplishment OF its purpose can
never be measured. II not only set the
country to thinking on the slavery qucs-
ton. 1t aroused the country against
the great wrong OF holding human be-
ings m bondage.
Probably no other book has ever con-
tributcd so much TO n result. 1t was
constructed with art, but that was not
the secret OF It's success. The earnest
woman who wrote 1t put her heart in 1t,
and that was what carried conviction
and made men and women feel that
something existed under our flag OF free
dom that must be wiped out
Harriet Beecher Stowe came of a
strong family. Henry Ward Bcechcr
was her brother. The great preacher
and orator made his own place before
the public. He wrote as well AZ spoke,
and he wrote well, but he did not pro-
duce Uncle Toms Cabin" That work
made Harriet Beecher Stowe the really
great figure In the really strong family
OF which she was 4 member.

When the elevated railroads began
operation in New York 1t was predicted
that 1t would destroy the business OF tie
surface roads. This has proved TO be n
wonderful error In prophecy. In 1872
the elevated roads began operating.
That year they carried 10000 passen-
gers, the surface roads carrying l3S.OOO,-
900. 1t was four years before the clc-
waited roads carried as many as l.0OO, 600.
Last year the elevated roads carried the
enormous total OF 1S7,6A,OOO, but the
surface roads were ahead with 2Sl.S49,-
900.
In no year was the business OF the ele-
waited roads equallcd that OF the aurface
roads, nor is 1t likely to come up to that
point. BY reason of the cable and the
electric motor the surface roads have
made moro Roadway than the elevated
roads have, and the trend OF improve
mCnt seems to be more In their line.
