REGINALD'S WATERLOO.
His Weak Willed Mother Was Power1ess,
but There Was Another.

his Weak willed Mother Was Powerless
but There Was Another.
A weak looking overdressed woman sat
in Detroit street car the other day and
with her badly dressed and badly spoiled
boy Of about years, who seemed inclined
to do nothing but squirm and wriggle and
do everything his weak willed mother told
him not to do. 1t was muddy, and the
boys feet were covered with slime and
mud from the street.
"You must sit down, Reginald" said
his mother. "You'll get mud on the dress
of the lady next to you. s@s
But Reginald declined to sit still, and
his mother said:
Reginald, do you hear me?"
"'Courss do"
"Then why dent you mindf"
"Don't want to.
Then he began to squirm more vigor.
ously than before.
Reginald, WHY don't you mind man.

The speaker was the lady into whose lap
Reginald had deliberately and defantly
planted one Of HRS muddy feet She was a
vigorous, spirited looking woman about
40 years of age.
"Won't, heyP" she asked again as she
grabbed the dazed Reginald by bis velvet
collar and laid him out across her lap.
"Won't, heys" she asked for the third
time as she brought her good right hand
down again and again with telling force
on the awe stricken youpgster.
"I'll let you know what you will and
what you Won't do!'' she said, jerking
Master Reginald to sitting position and
Pumping him down on the car seat.

Muscle Making Crops.

Ever since the silo has come into reg
ular use in preserving the corn crop
dairymen have been studying to find the
best muscle making grain to feed with
the ensilage. Cottonseed meal is the
cheapest form of muscle Makers and
there is no safer way in which to feed ii
than with corn ensilage. Some farmers
have always felt that they could grow
muscle making crops cheaper than they
can buy cottonseed meal, bran or Other
grain. For example, we have told how
Mr.. Bancroft of Delaware uses hun
dreds of tons of crimson clover and cow
peas in the silo. These crops help ''bal-
ance" the corn ensilage and cut down
the grain bill. There are farmers who
feel that, with present low prices for
dairy products, good clover hay and a
few pounds of wheat bran will act like
the meat in sandwich to even up the
ensilage.
In Canada mixture of one part sun
flower heads, two parts horse beans and
four parts corn are put into the silo to.
gether in the hope Of obtaining ensilage,
which is of itself balanced ration. !"
This plan of growing muscle making
crops on the home farm is not advocated
as strongly as it was several years ago.
The price Of bran and cottonseed meal
has fallen SO low that in many cases the
old argument fails, and it is actually
cheaper to buy grain than it is to grow
clover or peas. In many cases it actual
ly pays best 10 raise heavy crop Of corn
for the silo on the land nearest the barn
and put the other grass land into tim
othy to be Sid every year, the money
obtained for it to be spent for grain rich
in muscle makers. That is just what
some long headed dairymen are doing,
and they are making success Of it, too,
according to Rural New Yorker, author.

THE VALUE OF STRAW.
As Proved by Facts and Figures-MaIinr
the Straw Crop Pay.


the Straw Crop Pay.
Farmers, as a rule, have always en-
tertained the idea that every pound Of
straw grown on farm ought, as ouiok-
" as possible, to be utilized In the ma
nure pile. 1t can easily to proved that
the system is wrong, and money TINS
wasted would not only buy enough ma
nure or fertilizer to keep the farm in
high condition, but also leave good
round sum as profit for the farmer.
Thus writes farmer to Country Gen
tleman, who also tells how to make
more money out Of the straw crop. He
says:
] propose to take the present price of
rye and rye straw and show how
farmer can realize a greatly increased
income on every acre of rye and not rob
his farm, but keep it in high cultiva-
ton. by placing on it just as much ma
nure or fertilizer as if he had adhered
to the old plan of throwing his straw
crop in the manure pile. The following
facts and figures will prove these state
ments correct: One acre Of land will
yield 10 to 30 bushels Of rye and one
ton of straw. The present price of rye
in New York markets is so cents per
bushel, and the price of rye straw,
thrashed straight and bound, is $40
per ton. Ten acres Of rye, yielding 90
bushels to the acre, if sold at so cents
per bushel, will amount to 500, and
the ten tons Of straight thrashed and
bound straw, sold at $40, would amount
to 5000, making total of $500 realized
from the 10 acres Of rye and straw.
According to Professor E. B. Voor-
bees, the New Jersey state chemist, the
real manurial value of rye straw in the
manure pile is only 50 per tom Conse-
quently, if the old plan is followed and
the ten tons of straw are deposited in
the manure pile, the value Of it there,
according to Professor Voorhees,, is only
$40, while, if the ten tons Of rye straw
were sold it would bring $500.
Take the manurial value of the ton
tons Of rye straw, which is $40, and
with the $40 buy stable manMe or COM
mercial fertilizer. 1t will enrich the
farm to the same extent as if the whole
ten tons of straw had been deposited in
the manure pile and yet leave the farm
or a profit of $3.50.

Treatment of Seed Oats.

A bulletin from the Ohio station re-
ports results Of series Of experiments
made on the station farm at Wooster in
1895 in the treatment of oats for the
prevention Of smut, in which IL was
shown that from duplicate samples of
seed taken from the same sack the I'M
treated seed produced as high as 40 per
cent of smutted heads, while the treated
seed produced q considerably larger crop
entirely free from smut. These expert
ments have been repeated with the same
result in 1896, year when the smut of
oats has been exceptionally prevalent.
1t has also been demonstrated that, WITH
a very slight modification, the same
treatment will absolutely prevent the
shrinking smut. of wheat. From the re-
ports which have come to the station it
seems probable that the farmers Of Ohio
have this year lost not less than half q
million dollars from oat smut alone.

The Salt of the Earth.

In an old-fashioned home of New
Orleans there was company at dinner,
and the ladies were discussing the
woman question. A gentleman pres
ent, after hearing all the pros and cons,
facetiously remarked that two preach
ers were discussing the same problem
recently in his hearing, and they both
agreed that it portended evil, and "that
women were responsible for most of
the evil in the world-in fact, that wom-
en- were worse than men," One of the
ladies Indignantly retorted: Indeed,
they are not; women are the salt of the
earth" Oats so, honey" put in old
Aunt Susan from the kitchen, "dats de
bible truf, for shore. Women is de salt
OBJ de earth. Just think OBJ Lots WIFE"
And everybody laughed at the sudden
and unexpected application Of the old
bible story.

"Tha youth Of this generation is gen

work. The girls keep on studying, and
acquire more or less of q higher educa-
ton, and after leaving school continue
to improve in literary and artistic work
Or social direction. AS years pass, the
average money-grabbing businessman
becomes to such woman less and less
interesting, particularly as prospec-
tive life companion.
Another reason for girls not marry
ing is it has become both SoCessity and
custom in families OF moderate means
for the daughters to enter some occupa-
ton that will render them independent
and self-supporting. A clever, we'll
