CnttIng Coarse Fodder.

The Maine station compared the value
Of chopped and unchopped hay for COWS
and found no evidence that the chOpping
had any effect. Cutting corn stover was
found advantageous at the Wisconsin
station. The Indiana station found that
steers made better gains on cut than on
uncut clover hay. In reference to cut
ting coarse fodder Professor Henry says: ::
There should be good feed cutter on
every dairy farm, useful for silo filling
in the fall and for chatting feed in the
winter. All cornstalks should be put
through this machine, for then they are
in better condition for feeding, and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in good
form for bedding and the manure heap,
Long cOrnstalks are a nuisance in the
feeding manger, worthless for bedding
and troublesome in the manure pile.
Many farmers find difficulty in feeding
cut coTnstalks, since sometimes the COWS
refuse to eat them. In few cases we
have found that the sharp ends Of the
comstalks when cut certain lengths in
jure the mouths of the COWS. When they
are not we'll eaten, the cause is often
due TO o7erfeeding or endeavoring to
have the cows live ON too limited a va
riety Of foods. Keep the managers clean
and feed the cut fodder with care, and
usually very little will be left over, and
that only the ooarsest portion. Expert
ments at the Wisconsin station show
that with the varieties Of corn fodder
raised there much more of the cut stalks
will be eaten than IL fed uncut under
the same conditions.

In Darkest PhiIadeIphin.

A wealthy young man about town
gave dinner recently to a dozen or
more Of his associates. The affair was
extremely sumptuous, the host being
particularly careful to secure the best
canvasback duck the market afforded.
He paid good price for this particular
Wand, and so when one of the guests
who had been taking more than his
share of wine left his duck untouched
upon his plate the host chided him play
fully for his lack of appreciation.
The delinquent guest had sufficient
wit to extricate himself from his posi-
tion with credit to himself. He called
for messenger boy, and when the lit.
tie fellow came he made him sit down
at side table and eat the duck which
he had left untouched. A small glass of
wine accompanied the duck. Not con-
tent with this, the joker borrowed his
hosts silk hat, which he filled with ice,
and set a bottle Of champagne in the
midst Of it. This was set before the boy,
and all the guests chucked silver coins
into the ice packed hat for the boy.
The messenger boy went away about
$5 richer, and the joker went to sleep
in his chair. philadelphia Record.

shade ovar the west TO show where the
sun had hidden its daily farewell, there
came Sinking up Lost creek Crawling
Wolf and seven Of his dirty, i'll smelling
brethren, foul birds of the night, ready
for anything, from petty larceny up to
murder, provided the situation allowed
crime without danger to the criminal.
They had herd Of stolen ponies cor
rallied some miles below and were COM
ing up to see what No. 13 might afford
in the way Of diversion. In single file
they fitted along noiselessly as shadows,
now and then stopping, heads up, to
listen, as is the wont of beasts Of prey.
Suddenly Wolf stopped shorter and
more suddenly than usual, giving vent
to a startled grunt All stopped, rigid
as statues, TO listen. A faint wind rus
tied for a moment, died down, and then
from afar came an unwonted sound in
the wilderness. 1t was the sound Of
Jimmy's fiddle.
Cautiously the Indians crept closer
and closer, stopping now and then to
listen, until they reached the foot of the
bank at the water hole. Just above them
shone the light from the dugOut en-
trance. The noise of the tortured fiddle
was loud and clear, and at times jim
my's voice was uplifted in old hymns
and camp meeting songs reminiscent of
other days back in Missouri. Quiet, but
swift as crawling snakes, the intruders
swept up the incline Of the clay bank
A moment later they swarmed in un the
musician. Jimmy was sitting at the
side of his fireplace, and his winchester
was near the door. Thus he was cut off
from his only weapon.
When those Indians came in, filling
up the little dugout, doubt if in all the
world there was q more surprised and
frightened being than the keeper of No.
13. The music stopped. The hand that
welded the bow dropped as if para
lyzed Jimmy stared at the appari-
tions, while old Wolf smiled hypocritic-
ally and grunted How" Somewhat
reassured by this apparent sociability,
Jimmy managed to gasp out, "Howdy
do?"
The sons of the desert deliberately sat
down on the bare floor, and old Wolf
once more grunted out:
"Play fiddle more. We like. "
Jimmy played something at once,
and of course after awhile wound up
with flourish, as all performers do, and
stopped.
The somber audience gave no sign Of
approval or dislike. They sat perfectly
still, except that their little eyes gilt
tered and shone in the freight like dia-
monds. But when Jimmy stopped Wolf
grunted again
"More."
Jimmy played more and kept on in
response to the request after each cessa-
tion. Finally he lowered the bow and
protested:
"Id like to be obliging, but I'm get
ting too tired "
Wolf simply loosened a winchester
from the folds of dirty blanket, cock
ed it and presented it at the protestor &
body, grunting again:
"Play more Much heap. Damn
quick.
There was an immediate revival of
musical activity.
And so they kept the frightened fid-
dler to his work. He played his whole
repertory over and over again, the audi
ence never. caring for the repetition.

A Russian ArteA.

An artel is an association OF persons
who agree to throw in their lot together
and stand by each other for better OF
for worse. If the artel is productive, u
the members work together and divide
equally what money they earn if it is
"consumptive, they share equally in
the expense incurred. The most marked
characteristic of these associations is the
perfect equality which prevails among
their members. No matter what may be
a mans personal gifts or deficiencies,
from the moment he enters an artel he
is simply on a par with his comrades.
He must bear the same burdens as they
do, and he receives the same rewards.
Ia his turn he will be the artelman, or
chief of his artel; in his turn, too, he
will be its newer of wood and drawer
Of water. AS the former he wi be
neither richer nor poorer than as the lat
tor, for the only emolument attached to
the office of artelman is shoe money
that is, small sum granted as a com
pensation for the shoes worn out while
tramping about transacting official busi.

The South African London.

600 inhabitants and increasing about as

high ground above it looks to an English
eye like huge, long drawn out mass Of

along the quartz gold reef as far as you
can see in either direction. The largest
or main reef runs for 80 miles uLinter-
ruptedly, gold bearing and honeycomb-
ed with mines throughout. This, even
were it alone, could speak for the stabil-
ity and continued prosperity of the
Transvaal gold trade On a mail steam
er arriving only few days ago from the
Cape was said to be between e300, 900
and 100000 worth of gold, and the
newspapers show. that usually about
Gl00, 600 worth is consigned by each
mailboat.
As we enter the town we find fine
