Artlnagriculture Is coming to be more
and more noticeable every day. With
the advent Of new methods. improved
implements and n wider knowledge OF
the field. the agriculturist Is rising high
er and higher In the field OF useful or
ornamental art as the years go by. We
may say that sharp competition Is no
small factor In this progressive move
ment. says The American Student
rake, for example. the manner In which
certain products are prepared for the
open market The improvement In the
condition Of certain dairy products and
lruit on market In the last few years Is
truly wonderful. The reason. OF course,
Is that people always buy that article
which Is put up in the most tasty and
attractive style. and are willing 70 pay
little more for It. With this change
comes more wholesome effect upon
tne article itself. and disease IS much
less disseminated through food at the
present time than formerly. Greater
precautions are taken now than ever
oelore IN preventing the spread OF con
@gious diseases In this manner. and
with the Increase In the size OF the cities
and the greater liability TO III health
nese precautions cannot be observed

The evident purpose OF the new law
requiring horseshoers to be licensed in
cities OF this State. OF over 10000 in
hbitants, is to prevent incompetent
men from shCeing horses In the larger
cities. II Is a well-known fact that a
large percentage OF the lameness OF
horses. especially in the cities. is due
wholly or In part to the mutllation OF
the hoof and improper shoeing by in
competent blacksmlths. Even at the
best every sAoeing is an injury to the
horses foot. so that the better the op-
Grafton the less the injury.
Horseshoers. as a class. are welded
to a number Of traditional practices
long handed down from generation to
generation. that are directly opposed to

raj healthy condition. They do not con-

Use Pound for CornstaIks.

The firm OF shipbuilders known ev-
erywhere as the Cramps has taken up
chemical discovery which is said to
transform the outer portion Of the
cornstalk into excellent cofferdam or
ship padding. A factory is TO be To-
Gated at Rockford. ILL.,. and others are
to be constructed later on at other
points In the West. +. $ Cramp. while
in Chicago perfecting arrangements for
the Rockford plant, bespeaks for the
new product an immense financial sue
cess. which will be shared literally by
the farmers. lie says OF the finished
product:
"Our experiments with this new
cofferdam material have shown that
ii Is the most perfect in its action OF
anything of the kind ever used The
French have something like II made Of
cocoa nber. but the English have found
ii so unsatisfactory that they have
never used 1t. Its use Is simple. The
sides OF the ship are stuffed witt, II.
and when a shot penetrates the water
swells the cofferdam and closes the
leak. OF at least stops IL sufficiently to
keep the ship from sinking"
Regarding the gathering OF the stalk
Nr. Cramp says:
'All that is necessary Is simply the
bare stalk Thus. after husking the
corn, farmers may let the cattle into
tie field. as they do now. and when
the cattle have consumed the leaves
aud al they can eat the stalks can be
brought TO our factories. Nothing we
need has teen put to any use in the
past. There are two or three tons OF
c0rnstalks to the acre. which can be
cut for about 81 an acre, leaving the
rest TO the farmer We expect to pay
about 81 ton for the stalks"
II will be a nice thing. of course. for
Rockford and Illinois to have this new
manufacturing industry. and especial
ly fortunate that use has bcel found

T Cramr will be able to get his stalks for
