Of the largest OF these institutions.
I'VE have q patient In this asylum

Old Fleet prison for the national debt
In the hope Of raising the money to

his poor brains to inyenting things
Strange to say, among host Of utterly
absurd ideas, he actually has produced
two which are really practicable. His
friends and have Supplied him with
such harmless materials as he requires,

aents are In every kitchen, and the
rest in every chemists shop. / have
successfully tested II myself on two
occasions recently, when crossing the
channel In very stormy weather.
/. "As an instance of the cleverness Of
lunatics, II may interest you to know
that a very valuable improvement con-
nected with machinery, and now in
daily use everywhere, was invented By
the inmate OF an asylum well known to
every one by name. As he Is now
quite cured and Is q somewhat prom

modelled as q diversion while absolute

RutabaRas for Fodder.

It is gratifying to see so many Amer
lean farmers putting their waste places
or spare pieces of land into rutabagas
and turnips for early fall or long win
Ter feeding. They are getting the Eu-
ropean idea ofrootcrops. There the tur-
nips and rutabagas are sown broadcast
Is are almost all grains, and II not de-
slred as roots. the foliage then is ;-sed
iof Ceenfood. Just imagine the results
o. tWenty-acre oatpatch treated In
tnis way! Think Of the tremendous
tnount OF green fodder, magnificent
toooer too. coming into full play dur
ING hot August and September. Why,

tOf cattle food Is worth almost as much

sOrI at the rate Of one-half pound per
acre into the cornfeld, Just before the

Two good crops-one Of corn, the other

tuntage Of the rutabaga is that It can
