Sorghum For the sllo.

While no kind of grain as feed can
supersede corn in cheapness and value.
sorghum is q formidable rival to it for
fodder. especially when put up in tho
silo. II stands drough better. which
is likely to make it popular in the arid
portions of the West. whore corn often
fails. Tho sorghum has too tough n
stalk to feed green, but when cut and
put in the silo there il enough fermen-
tation TO soften the stalks 40 that they
can be eaten. The sweetness Of the
sorghum furnishes carbonaceous nutri-
ment just as does the starch of corn
grain. and in even more palatable form.
Wherever cane sugar is made in tho
South the workmen who attend tho
grinding always grow fat from the
sugar they eat.

Whom Co Handle ncra.

To handle bees with the most satis-
faction, select the warm, bright days,
when the bees are flying most. The
fact is, the warmer the day, the less
danger Of stings.
Avoid rs much as possible working
with them on cool, cloudy days, as
they will he always found more
irritable on such days. Also avoid
handling them early in the morning
and latb in the evening, for the same
reason.
Bees abhor being molested at night,
and no work can be performed with
Thorn at that time with any satisfaction.
They are always the most peaceable
when they are gathering honey, and
may he handled as safely as q brood Of
chickens.

wit OF the "PIuIned Knight"

The late James c. Blaine was cred.
tied, even by those who disliked him,
with remarkable command Of temper,
and his courtesy was unfailing.
On one occasion decision which he
made as speaker of the House greatly
enraged q new member, who waited ON
Pennsylvania avenue after the House
adjourned with some friends, declaring
that he would "have il out or fight. "
"You can't" said one of his friends.
Nothing you can say will get the bet
ter of Blaine's good humor and polite
ness"

as he caught sight of the stately figure
OF the speaker coming slowly toward
him. He stepped forward quickly and
stood across his path.
"Mr. Blaine" he said, loudly, 81

Drying Wet Grain.

All who are used to handling either
brick or tile, know that when thor.
oughly dry they will absorb "A great
amount of water without being satu-
rated. Advantage is taken OF this fact
by grain dealers and farmers, who
place dry bricks which are easiest to
handle and least likely to break among
damp grain to prevent it from heating.
1t is surprising what an effect this will
have IL very few bricks are inter-
spersed through the heap. Each brick
will absorb fully half pint of water
il it is dry to begin with. This will
dry out the surplus moisture out of
good many bushels of damp grain.
This might DO used in moving away
damp hay or grain in the bundle.
though in neither OF these positions is
there 80 much likelihood Of injury as
there is whore threshed damp grain is
closely confined in bins.

AThIng 10 wonder At.

A farmer was driving n mule in
southwest Georgia when a storm came
up and lightning struck the animal.
The farmer never left his wagon, but
with voice and whip kept urging the
fallen mule TO rise. But the latter
gave no signs Of life.
Then the farmer jumped from his
wagon, walked around the animal two
or three times, and then exclaimed in
genuine astonishment:
"That last streak o. lightnin', has
ackchully killed that mule. Who would

Muck Oyereatimnted.

Many people still think tina. black,
mucky soil must necessarily be very
rich. But the fact that ii remains with
out fermentation shows either that II
has little heterogeneous value, or that it
is so saturated with water that it has
become sour. Yet we have known
many city people buy black muck from
swamps to pot flowers In, aud pay
twenfy-fve 20 fifty cents per bushsl
baskets for 10, when dry earth from
the side Of the road, with much less
vegetable matter, would be much bet
ter. Most muck, especially from
swamps, lacks mineral fertility. II is
easy to handle aud 10 work in, and
this is what makes II popular, But it
needs both ammonia and potash to
give the best results.

wa,te OF Sweet Corn Stalks.

This is the time Of year when tho
sweet corn ears are gathered. U.s.
ually on each stalk there are two or
more ears, one fully ready for use as
green corn, the other small and i'm
mature. To save this last the stalk
is left uncut. But in most cases the
second and always the third ear Is too
small to be proAtably marketed.
Whenever there is only ono ear on
stalk II should at once be cut and fed
TO the COW or horse. It Is worth more
then than II ever will DO again. We
are not sure that this is not true, even
when there are one or more nubbins
left on the stalk, II fed to mich cows.
Ordinary fodder corn is very poor feed.
II needs to be supplemented, as this
sweet corn fodder does, with q greater
amount Of nutrition, which is worth as
much in increased milk yield rs il is
in few nubbins Of corn. Sweet corn
fodder Ia more wasted than any other.
II is wasted in trying TO save nubbins
Of corn worth more for feeding than
they are for anything else.

AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS.
Loose Wagon Tires.

After so much wet weather IL might
be supposed that wagon tires would
give no trouble on even the oldest and
most dilapidated wheels. This is true
80 long as the roads are muddy. But
nowhere in August will the roads re-
main wet very long. The previous
thorough wetting which the wheels
have had during the recent wet
weather has swollen the woodwork,
which shrinks all the worse for this
when exposed to sun and winds. IL
pays to paint the woodwork of wheels
once year, doing it whom the wood
is thoroughly dry. II the wheel has
an application Of linseed oil when dry,
much of it will soak in the wood, and
tho painting will last longer without
renewing.

WOMEN AVID MATRIMONY.

There is a growing protest among
women against the theory that the
decrease in marriage or increase OF
the number OF women who support
themselves is due to a lack of incli-
nation for matrimony.
In thoughtful discussion Of the
subject Ellen Colt Elliott in APP
pleton's Science Monthly contends
that the mass Of women-probably
all normal momea-preter the mis-
sion in life for which nature fits
them. They would rather be wives
and mothers than follow any paid
occupation and would gladly choose
matrimony if the right men asked
them to marry. But their stand
ard is becoming higher, and if they
tail to find the right men or the
men shrink from the apparent
risks and burdens OF marriage, what
can women do but 60 to work ?
This view Of the suject is forci-
bly, and somewhat patheticalIy put
by a woman who writes "Our
trade is to be good women, good
loyal, industrious wives and good,
loving mothers. tyouug men can
not afford to marry us, then we
must learn some other trade
A careful study Of the per cent
age Of increase in the number Of
women employed will probably
showa close relationship Of cause
and effect. In short, the matrimo-
uial problem and the womens occu,
patton problem seem to be one
