SWEET CORN FODDER.
It Has Been Fed with Excellent Resvlta
Down In Maine.

Down IN Maine.
Mr. Walker McKeen, secretary of
Maine state board of agriculture, says:
'Previous to having siio we fed quite
large quantities of sweet corn fodder
cured, with excellent results. The best
way to manage this after it is cut is to
shock carefully and allow it to dry
thoroughly, then dray to the barn and
pack, preferably in a bay, in alternate
layers with oats, wheat OF barley straw.
thick. The straw takes up the mois-
ture, prevents molding, and is made
better for feed by contact with the corn
fodder. We never packed corn with ears
on in this way, but see no reason why it
would not work equally well, the only
objection we can think of would be the
danger from mice. If well packed,
however, and fed from every day with
plenty of oats about the premises we
should not fear much damage from this
source. If you do not care to try this
plan stand as closely as you can in some
sheltered place, being sure to have it
placed in such a manner that it will re-
main standing. When feeding if you
nave large proportion of corn you will
probably get better results by cutting
or shredding before feeding. Ii you
have but small proportion you will
have no trouble in feeding it by using
a small amount each day along with
other folders. Animals will do well on
this fodder. One of the finest and larg.
est herds T know of kept for selling
milk in a city is fed largely in winter
on this dried corn with ears on, their
owner using large cutter, and two
horse power, cutting weeks feed
ahead and allowing it to heat slightly.
For our own use, however, we should
prefer the silo, as there will be saving
of labor and succulent food"

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

To plow manure deep is to lose good
part of the possible benefit.
Very few animals are as dainty or as
choice in their food as sheep.
The health of the animal affects the
quality and quantity of the wool.
The first gait to teach the young
colt is a good, strong smart walk.
Feed the lambs as soon as they are
able to eat, and keep them growing.
Mixed husbandry in gardening and
fruit growing is essential to success.
A little boiled linseed meal given in
the milk will be found good for colts.
In selecting and breeding horses look
for three things, size, action s.nd sense,
Both the fertility and moisture needed
by growing crops is taken up by the
weeds.
1t does not pay to keep all kinds OF
and all sizes of hogs in the same pen
and on the same feed.
A careless hand will often cause more
loss than he is worth. Pay a fair price
and secure good help.
Under present conditions it does not
pay TO raise mongrel cattle, as they
cost as much as good grades and sell for
less.-Earmers' Review.

THE TEN PER CENT. TAX.
The Forces That Block the Way to Free
Coinage.

The Forces That Block the Way to Free
Coinage.
The trouble with the effort to repeal
the ten per cent. tax is that it was not
sincere. The same forces that are
blocking the way to the coinage OF
silver are unalterably opposed to the
issue of currency by state banks. If il
came squarely to a choice between the
one or the other, some of the goldbug
papers and bankers who are working
only in the interest of a currency THAT
can be controlled, cornered, appreci.
ated in value and contracted at will,
would declare in favor of silver coin.
age rather than the repeal of the pro.
hibitive tax on the state banks. The
people of the south are so easily hum
bugged by the money power of the
north and east that to avoid direct
issue at the polls on silver coinage
they have had only to advance one
makeshift after another. The repeal
of the tax on state banks is one of the
promises that is occasionally held out
when the people get too mucn in ear
nest bout demanding the coinage of sill.
yer. But the money power which
manages to control legislation has nc
more idea of permitting the repeal OF
this tax than of allowing the resump-
ton of silver coinage.

mand made by the national democ-
racy at Chicago-in itself pledge tc

Resced,ng Clover Meadows.

The Ohio Experiment station is now
planning some experiments in attempt
ing to get stand of clover on fields
sown last spring, but which failed to
make perfect stand, owing to the
DROUGHT. The bare spots in these fields
will first be gone over with a sharp
spike harrow, or with disk harrow;
crimson clover and common clover will
then be sown side by side, and lightly
covered in with smoothing harrow. A
light seeding of oats IS nurse crop
may be added on part Of the land, for
comparison, but we EXPECT the best re-
suits from seeding the clover alone.
Last seasons experience demonstrated
that the nurse crop may prove rob
her instead of nurse. by taking all
the water from the soil AID leaving none
for the clover.

Hoes on Grass and clover.

Swine growing can best be made sat
isfactory by the use of grass and clover
fields. This kind of food is for growth
and development, which are essential
to good size and vitality. Therefore, the
ground devoted to grass and clover for
this purpose is as profitable as any OF
the farm. The hog must be grown be-
fore he is ready to fatten, and when So
grown he is ready to receive the more
concentrated foods of corn, linseed
meal, etc, for quick finish for market.
1t cannot be too strongly urged that the
clover field is large element of profit
in the swine economy. On corn diet
alone, from start to finish, 1a0-pound
hog can't be grown in year, just for the
same reason that cider can't be made out
OF turnips. The muscle-forming ele-
ment is not in corn sufficiently to do it.
The experiment has been made over and
over.-Rural World.

Pests of the Poultry Yard.

This is the season for lice, and it is
only the well-kept coops and yards
that are free from the vermin. Lice
will drive the sitting hens Off the nest,
will force others to lay on the ground
outside, will cause the chicks to droop
and die without apparent disease af-
fecting them, will invite disease by de-
bil;tating the fowls. and will cause loss
where profit should be the result. Do
not wait for lice to come, but keep the
pests away. Frequent whitewashing
of the coops. the rubbing of kerosene oil
on the roosts, the sprinkling of tobacco
refuse over the nests, and the liberal
use of Persian insect powder well dust
ed into every crack and crevice as well
as over the floor, the nests. and every
where else, viii be the only safeguard

far from this interest Indebtedness having a
tendency to drain us OF our stocks of gold, the
fact is, that until the treasury arrangements

(not for q part of it, as given in Valentine 8

1t will be observed, rejoins the At
lanta Constitution, that the able editor
attributes the gold drain not to the
fact that we are obliged to ship it
abroad to pay interest on our greatly
increased foreign debt, but to the zap
prehension of free silver" Our gold
never did begin to go out, except in re-
sponse to the natural demands of trade,
until the fall Of prices in 1898 We had
legislated to cut down the foreign
prices of our cotton, wheat and other
exports so per cent, and this operation
cut off the movement of gold in this
direction and turned it the other way.
With the balance of trade in our favor
the balance of debt is against us.
The gold men predicted a drain of

came a law. But what was the result?
Under the additions to the currency
made by that act, prices rose q per
cent. between 1873 and 1890, and
Europe was compelled to send it's gold
here to pay for our exports. Why?
Because we got better prices for our
exports. No matter which way this
question is turned the simplicity of it
crops out at last. At bottom it is a
question of good and bad prices-be-
tween honest prices and dishonest
prices.
From January, 1891, to January, 1896,
we have shipped out of the country not
only the amount of the whole of our
own product of gold, but $25O,O ,OOO

Bland Allison law, small as were the
annual additions to our currency, we
imported more gold than at any other
period since the war. It was, in fact,
due to the Bland-Allison act that the
panic of 1880, the result of the rcsump.
