CHARCOAL FOR COHN.rED HOES.

Whole corn is the hardest Of oil
grains to digest, as it is also the cheap
est carbonaceous food. 1t has less
husk. in proportion to size of kernel,
than any other grain. Neither is the
corn made more digestible by being
ground and fed in mush, cooked or
uncooked, as is often done. Then it
packs in the stomach in masses too
large for the gastric juices to pene-
trate, and, of course, the corn fer
ments or sours. ClG.fashioned farm.
ers used to theorize about This in very
queer ways. The acid from the
stomach they often attributed to cot.
ing sour apples, as both the apple
feeding and the corn feeding came
about the same time. Then when this
acid rose to their mouths and made
their teeth sore they attributed that
to chewing hard corn off the cob. So
they fed soft corn or had the corn
ground and fed meal. But the teeth
continued just as sore IS before until
the time for butcher1ng came, and tho
poor, overfed hog was mercltul!y put
out OF his misery by Che butchers
knife. 1t was while suffering the Dis
order OF stomach full of souyed mat.
ter that many farmers found that
feeding charcoal was good remedy.
hogs Will eat charcoal readily. It
contains beside it's carbon some ash
which nentraliZes acids. 4 little soda
mixed with their feed will do the work
still better. But This is only tenn
porary remedy. In the end soda will
demorsliza the stomach worse than
will anything else. The true remedy
is never to overfced even fattening
hog, and to give him variety, especi-
ally when corn led.

sAwDUST FOR BEDDING.

It is common practice for livery
mon to use sawdust as bedding for
horses where that is abundant aud
straw is herd to get. But as you raise
grain we should advise you to save
what is needed for bedding. no matter
though the sawdust be offered free.
Snwdust with manure makes it worry
hard to rot, much more so than is
straw, though both being carbon have
scarcely any manurial value. Market
gardeners object to having sawdust in
manure piles, though they always
compost their manure before using.
It is better't to use either bedding as
economically as possible, and without
doubt long straw bedding can be used
with less waste than can sawdust,
partly because it is less ab.
sorptive. The manure, either liquid
or solid, passes through the straw
without doing more than discolor 1t.
So by shaking out and drying the
straw can be used repeatedly until it
has rotted and broken up. TIE liquid
manure ls best saved, not by cbsor-
bent bedding, but by layer Of three
or four inches of wood loan under
meath the horse or COW. This also is
much better for horses feet than
standing on hard floors, either Of wood
Or concrete. A little chopped straw
lying on the earth will prevent the
animal from being soiled with it. The
earth flooring should be cleaned out
once week and replaced with new

they begin to sweat and don't stick to

another twenty or thirty days, during
which time they must be carefully
watched and tended. When they are
ripe they ara placed in half dozens
wrapped in paper, and covered with
straw fastened with string, ready for
their journey: They are also packed
IN rush baskets or white wooden boxes.
The price of the Camembert varies

AN erroneous idea seems to prevail
with some people that they can make
any machine for their own use, no
matter whether it is patented or not.
so they go no farther than making
for their own use. Section 1884, of
the patent laws. however, gives to
the patentee the Exclusive right to
manufacture, use and SELL" and to
grant to others these rights, for sew
enteen years, after which the in
ventor gives his invention to the
public. Many parties have gotten
themselves into serious trouble and
expense by such misconception of the
patent laws, and we consider it our
duty to call attention to this section
of the United States laws.
