stand the fodder back in place and let
1t remain there until needed for use.
Many farmers do not like to feed fod-
der because the stalks are a great nui-
sance in the stable. The best way to
give to stock is by means of rack
made of fence rails, as shown in the
illustration. This rack is made as fol-
lows: Take large wooden forks four
feet long and set them in a row ten
feet apart and one foot in the ground.
In these lay long pole. On each side
dig trench eight inches deep par
allel to these forks and 21s feet distant.
Set the rails in these trenches and lean
across the pole alternating from the
different sides. If they are large enough
there will be ample space for the stock
to pull the fodder through. The length
OF the rack can of course be regulated
to suit the needs of the builder. By
placing this rack between two lots
1t will serve as a fence and mules can
be on one side and calves on the Aher.
The rack will last for several years
II made OF good material, and by plac-
ing 1t northeast and southwest it will
answer as a windbreak. Haul the fod-
der in as needed and keep the rack full.

and morning the stock will be kept fat
all winter. They will save good hay
and eat the fodder in preference.
find from experience that ten head
of horses and two cows confined in
a lot will consume on an average two
shocks per day of heavy corn fodder.
AS the expense is only for the cutting,
the animals are thus kept for 20 cents,
OF less than two cents per day per
head. Let my brother farmers try this
as an experiment the coming winter,
and they will find that when spring
comes their stock will not only be fat,
but they will have some corn and hay
for sale. They will also be surprised
to see how much better their ground
works because it was not tramped all
winter. l think winter pasturing of

LASTING PROSPERITY.
What Farmers Must DO to Enjoy It's
Coveted DleSsings.

The press of the country is full of
talk about the prosperity of the farmer
this year. and many figures are given to
show what an increased harvest of dol
lars our farmers will reap. While there
is much eNaggeration in many of these
statements, there is much truth also

bers and quality. Such things as these
come within the jurisdiction of every
farmer. But other equally important es
sentials TO greater prosperity lie beyond
the farm and beyond the farmeras an in
dividual. The greatest prosperity cannot
prevail when many of the things the
people must have are controlled by COM
mercial monopolies or trusts. Some
classes may receive incidental benefits
from these organizations, but farmers
do not. They must sell in the open mar
ket usually and can i'll afford to buy in
a market that is not open. Allowing the
other fellow to fix the price of so many
things is not productive of the greatest
prosperity. The same thing is, to a
large extent, true of taxation. Too
often farmers have allowed otherclasses
to impose the burdens which call for
high taxes on farms, while the other
fellow reaped most of the benefits there
from. There must be more caution
about this, if farmers are to realize the
greatest prosperity. And there are other
matters that enter into this problem.
Better education of producers, result
ing in better product and broader
market; opening Of new foreign mar
kets; uniformity oY production by the
individual, and, consequently, the mass
of farmers-all these things are esseen-
tial to true and lasting prosperity. They
will not all be attempted, but in what
ever degree they are approached so faris

for cutting ten cents shock, the price

EARLY FALL FLOWING.
Its Advantages Considered from
Scientific Viewpoint.


Scientific Viewpoint.
The advantages of fall plowing over
the same operation in the spring are |
dwelt upon by Prof. H. Snyder, of the |
College of Agriculture of the University |
of Minnesota.
Fall plowing keeps the humus and |
nitrogen of the soil in better condition |
than late spring plowing. Nitrifca-
tion goes on in the soil until quite late |
in the fall, and in the south the process
goes on the entire year. The change is
most rapid near the surface. where |
there is plenty of oxygen from the air. |
In early fall plowing the available nj
trogen formed from the humus is near |
the surface, where it does the sproutine |
seeds and the young crops the most |
good. With late spring plowing, this |
available nitrogen is plowed under, and
inert organic nitrogen is brought to the
surface.
In old soils the process of nitrification
does not go on rapidly enough to fur
uish available nitrogen to the crop. In a |
new soil the process of nitrihcation is
liable to go on too rapidly. deep plow-
ing and thorough cultivation aid in
Ditrification. Hence, the lon der the soil

WOMEN LIVE LONGER.

More Centenariuns Among Women
Than Among hlen-Why Is IL soF
A report from the Office of the regis
trar-general of England shows that
there are more female than male CEN
ienarians, says the Baltimore Sun. Out
of 100000 people 225 women reach the
age of 100 years. while only 50 men
round out the century. Now, the great
couundrum which is proposed is: Why
is this so? According to the popular
superstition, it takes much longer for
a woman to reach even the age of so
than it takes for man to reach that
age. If this is true, it makes the show
ing all the more remarkable. 1t has
even been asserted that association
With women makes a man live longer,
IS shown by the fact that the average
life of the married man is longer than
the average life of q single man. The
fact, however, is denied by the endmen
ut the minstrels, who says that the life
Of the married man is not really longer,
but only seems so.
So far there is no satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION of the original proposition
why more women live to be 100. Some
say it is because women are less addict
ed to tobacco and strong drink, others
say that il is because it is more healthy
to spend money than it is TO earn it,
md so on. 1t may be many of the men
who would live to be 100 are killed at
IN early age in casualties to which
women are not exposed. 1t may be
that tight lacing is a life preserver, and
il may be not a fact, after all. Possibly
the English registrar-general may be
mistaken. The situation is replete with
possibilities.
