Some farmers have learned that ears
of corn merely broken from the stalk
and unhusked are eaten by cattle with
less likelihood of injury than if corn Is
husked and fed on the ear, the usual
way. The husk makes porous addi-
ton to the ration and prevents the
grain from fermenting. But when corn
is snapped from the stalk, there is a
hard. rough stub at the butt of the
ear that has little nutrition, and may
very easily be Injurious If the stock
is valuable, it win pay for the extra
cost of husking and grinding the corn,
in the greater amount of nutrition the
animals will get from their food.

Last spring | planted a siXteen-acre
field in corn. Part of the field had
been moved the year before and part
had been pastured after harvest. The
cutworms cut great deal of it of.
Some of this was replanted and some
not. being afraid l would get it too
thick To give you some idea how
thick they were | Will relate little
incident which occurred one morning
when | went out to see If the squirrels
were taking up the corn. l was ON
the point of returning home when |
saw little ground squirrel running
mp a stump and sitting down to sun
himself | thought it was my chance.
| shot him, but before he died he threw
everything out of his bowels which
he had secured for his breakfast, and
much to my surprise | failed to find
any corn but numerous worms. Upon
counting | found exactly twenty-one;
mostly cutworms. | have not killed
any ground squirrels since. And l.
therefore, think that the squirrel Is
the farmers friend.
The corn did not do well all sum-
mer and began to dry up very early
When we were cutting 1t, l noticed
wherever the grub worm had bothered
it hole had been dug around the
stock. and | wondered what could be
the cause, when some one suggested
the skunk as being the cause in It's
search of worms, | have come to the
conclusion that had the ground SOUR
rels and skunks been Il little plentier
we would have had more than 800
bushels of corn on sixteen acres. What

A Cats Household Duties.

Miss Angie Eddes, Lady living near
Stockton, Cal, owns a cat bearing
the euphonious name of Bildad that is
a marvel of feline intelligence and in
dustry. Miss Angie lives on IDbtie
place Of her own, where she has her
busy hands pretty full in looking after
the ranch work and attending 10 her
father, who is a cripple and the cat
Bildad, has come to be very helpful to
her I'm many ways. Among other
sources of revenue, Miss Angie has a
dozen fine bearing almond trees that
bring Gn no inconsiderable amount,
and Bildad is Invaluable to her in tax
ing care of the NUTS? Every morning
basket out in the orchard and Bildad
begins work, frisking back and forth
under the trees, picking up the plump
brown nuts, never ceasing till the bas-
ket is full, when he goes in, letting
his mistress know, by pulling at her
apron, that he needs her help. Aside
from thus relieving Miss Angie of all
the trouble of gathering the nuts, Bill
dads services are called into requisi-
tlon to protect them from rats, which
otherwise would begin to ravage the
trees as soon as the young almonds
Show evidences of maturity.
Another one of Bildad's accomplish
ments is that of churning, ait which he
is quite an adept Old Mr. Eddes,
who has quite an inventive faculty,
has invented a little churn, with q
unique, lbght-running trade, upon
which Bildad mounts and treads away
with the most praiseworJhy industry
till the work DIS done. SO expert has
the cat become that he can tell by the
sound Of the milk when the butter
has come, and strikes with his paw on
the little bell which is attached to the
churn to let mis- mistress know.
In the midst OF all this industry Bill
dad finds time for as much fun and
fnolic as the average cat, and is a
source of great amusement and pleas
ure to the old man Eddes, relieving
him Of many tedious hours.

The unfortunate rush of population
from the rural districts to the cities is
commanding increasing attention,
notes the Atlanta Journal. DR..
Reynolds, of Chicago, in recent adj
dress before the conference of char
tiles and corrections at Springfield,
urged that efforts should be made to
stop this drift of population. We all
agree that this ought to be done and
he who will propose some way in
which 1t can be accomplished must be
considered benefactor of his race.
DR.. Reynolds did not offer any practi-
cal remedy for the evil. His only
suggestion was that statesmen and
eociologists should seek to promote
''those economic features that best
foster the profit of the farm" and
''make a dollar as easy to obtain in
the country as it is in the CITY," Just
how this is to be done DR.. Reynolds
does not attempt to show. The doc
tors intentions are good, but his
address embodies nothing in the di-
rection of practical reform. In spite
of the experience of so many young
men and older ones who leave farms
to make their fortunes in town and
accomplish nothing but miserable
failure; in spite of the overcrowded
condition of every profession, trade
and calling in nearly all our cities,
the trend of population from the
farms to the great centres of popula-
ton continues, and there is at present
sittle prospect that it will cease. Bit
ter experience may at last have its due
effect upon this movement, but it is
not probable that it will be checked
by any teacher less severe.

In the Chicago Times-Herald Mr..
Linthicum points out that the idiom
of the South is the idiom OF the West,
that there is no such thing as "West-
ern dialeot"-except the meaningless
term. he says there are two distinct
dialects in the United States-the
New England or Yankee dialect, and
the Southern dialect. The New Eng
lander loses his dialect by association
with cosmopolites, but the Souther-
ner, as a rule. retains some peculi-
Rrity of speech, regardless OF environ.

When q man of note dies, it
curious how much Of the information
that is given in the obituary notices is
absolutely new to most of the people
TO whom he was known, muses. Har-
per's Weekly. Napoleon Sarony, who
died on November 9, was known prac-
ticallY to all New York, and to thou.
sands of people out of New York. The
photographs he took have circulated
pretty much everywhere during the
last thirty years. and his signature
became almost as familiar as was that
of the late Mr.. Spinner. But it was
news to most people that he began
life as a photographer, and made a
fortune in that business before he
had anything to do with photography.
1t must have interested many people
who know the three tall volumes
which contain the record of Com
modore PerrY's Japan expedition to
learn that most of the illustrations of
that narrative were done by Sarony
while he was still q photographer.
They are good pictures, and in many
cases have won continuous shelf-room
in private libraries for the volumes
that contain them.

blue crane, was shot in Shopton's

OUR BALMY WINTER.

Nothing succeeds like success. per-
haps, and nothing fails like failure.
Two years ago two young men of this
city undertook to establish a skating
FinkSin Topeka by flooding Athletic
park. For days water was pumped into
the enclosure at great expense until a
handsome pond was created there, but
never throughout the entire winter did
the mercury go low enough to freeze
the pond, and the only ones to rejoice
over the measure was n very large and
melodious colony of frogs who came up
early in the spring from the river and
forthwith settled there, sending back
roseate descriptions to their friends.
like people do who emf grate to Kansas.
Not disheartened, the skating rink
idea was taken up again this winter
And here it is the 18th of January and
did you ever see such weather?

THE PEOPLE DON'T ASK TT

1t is probable that when the constitu-
tional convention proposition gets be-
fore the Kansas legislature it will be
as gently and quickly laid to rest as
John Seaton's resubmission resolution
was. There has been no loud calling
from the meadows, woods, draws and
sandhills of Kansas for constitutional
revision. Not a single long bearded,
horny-handed farmer has asked for it.
Not a line was said about it or written
about it during the campaign.
1t wasn't an issue, and consequently
the people didn't vote on it, Any party
that endeavors to go before the people
on it as an issue will go down to ruin
in 1898.
Wait until the people ask for a con-
stitutional convention in their county
meetings before you attempt to choke
it down their threats.

HUDsoN,s CASE.

Major Hudson seems destined TO fill
out the remaining few months of his
term. There appears to be very little
disposition among the Populist major
ity in the legislature to attempt an i'm
polite change which has been ruled
against by the supreme court. The ex-
ecutive council is apparently satisfied
with the present state printer for the
present time. Aside from personal
preJudices, touched with some little po-
litical partisanship, there is little desire
shown to change printers and create
delay, confusion and litigation in the
midst of a legislative session. Hud-
sons term has been one of legal fights,
but he has thus far won and his oppo-
nents generally have conceded that
equity, the law and fairness will enti-
tie him to a few months of peace and
business for the state and himself
