THE BOY MURDERER.

General Farm Notes.
cut Feed for Horses.

All farmers use cut feed for horses
when at hard work, because there is
great saving in the abor needed to di-
gest cut feed. II mixed with some
grain meal, and wet so that the meal
can only be got by eating the cut feed
mixed with 1t, the whole will be chew
ed sufficiently TO moisten 1t with saliva
which Is necessary to quicken diges-
ton. But this economy In feeding cut
feed is also important when the horse
is not working. If the cut feed is corn
stalks, 1t should always be steamed or
wet with very hot water, SO as to soften
the cut ends of the stalks, which may
cause injury. This is best also If hay
or straw is cut, particularly wheat or
rye straw which being harder than cut
hay and less nutritious is not so likely
TO be thoroughly chewed. The stom-
ach of the horse needs slight irrita-
ton. This is the advantage which the
oat has over other grains. Its hull
helps the grain to digest better, and this
makes the horse feel frisky and able to
do his best. 1t Is an old saying of farm
ers that when an old horse begins to act
unusually coltish he has probably got
an oat standing cornerwise against his
stomach, and he jumps around so as to
get 1t out" 1t is a homely Illustration,
but may have much truth in 1t.

Suckers ON Corn.

Early planted corn has always the
most suckers. That which Is planted
late and usually receives no check in
Its growth has fewest. If the season
Is entirely favorable, the corn that has
had no check and has therefore few
or no suckers Will be the best. But If
the season proves unfavorable, the
sucker may play an important part in
increasing the yield. The sucker Is
always later than the main stalk,
though If the check to growth
is received from early planting, some
times very good ear may be grown on
both sucker and stalk. 1t is the opn-
ion of many farmers that more weight
of grain is grown on corn early planted
There is certainly a greater weight OF
stalks, and this Increases the labor of
harvesting the crop.

The anti-flled cheese law passed by
the last Congress has cleared out the
adulterated cheese, which was wholly
abominable and lndigestible. Now that
good cheese is again in the market ev-

Cheese is the cheapest heterogeneous food
that can be had, as It supplies also
phosphates, which meat, except in its
bone, mostly lacks. There ought to be
much more general consumption of
cheese than there is Farmers who do
not themselves make cheese ought to

Gross Drili1R of Wheat.

No winter grain should be cross
drilled. 1t is doubtful whether there
are any advantages In cross drilling
grain at any season. The check TO
growth in the drill furrow is only
enough to save the grain from becom-
ing too vigorous and being thereby at
lacked with rust. The particular OBJ
lection to cross drilling winter grain is
that half the seed is double covered
and Is buried under the ridge made by
the second drilling We tried this once.
and found that the first drilling was
entirely winter killed, or SO nearly SO
that very little grain could be found
except In the last drill rows. The
checkered appearance of a eross-drilled
grain crop makes it look fine when the
plants come up, but the crop is never
afterwards so good as that when the
seed is drilled all one way.

Preserving Corn Fodder.

The great attention paid to ensilage
ought not to lessen interest in keeping
and curing corn fodder dry. There is
no cheaper feed that the farmer can
grow, and we will not except even the
same feed cut green and put into the
silO. If corn is cut just as the ears are
glazing, its fodder will be then at its
best, and the grain will also take all
from the stalks that it would get by
standing longer. So soon as the husks
are dry enough to allow husking easily
the corn should be husked, and the
stalks will then usually be in good CON
dition for dra wlng to the farm or stack.
1t is better to make medium-sized
stacks, so that the stalks will not I'M
dergo violent hea ting. A slight heat
ing will soften the shell of the stalk
without injuring it in any way. When
freezing weather comes these stalks
will be thoroughly dry, or at least seem
So and they should then be cut with
a horsepower cutter. Such a machine
will put through in a single day FIVE
times as much as a man can do with
only hand power, and at the saving Of
much hard labor. The stalks after cut
ting will heat some more and should be
watched and turned with a shovel oc-
so that the under portions
may not mildew or blacken Corn fod-
der so prepared will be eaten with little
or no waste.

Preventing Weeds from seedinr.

In most of the States there are strict
laws requiring the supervisor of high
ways in each town to see to 1t that all
weeds are cut at least twice a year,
once in June and again in September
to prevent them from seeding They
are not generally enforced as they
should be. Either the work is wholly
unattended to or it is done so carelessly
as to do little good. 1t is in vain that
farmers try to keep their own fields free
from weeds while weed seeds are pro
duced in neighborlng highways to be
borne by winds to their fields. and per
haps increase largely before they are
