corn growing sections and manufactur-
ers are perfecting them year by year.
While silos will hardly ever come into
general use all farmers who raise corn
will want some means of utilizing the
valuable fodder, the common habit of
wasting which is one of the greatest
leaks in American agriculture.
The butts of the corn plant contains
more nutriment than the soft top and
leaves, but, as The Farm Journal ex-
plains, when chopped off, however short

and causes them to become sore. In
shredded fodder there are no sharp
edges, but the entire outer surface is
broken and crushed so that it becomes
like coarse hay and can be eaten with
out difficulty by any stock on the farm.
This corn hay can be handled with a
pitchfork like hay, can be baled like
hay and sold at good price in city
markets Whatever waste there is in
feeding this material goes into the ma
nure heap in the best possible shape; in
fact, the waste makes the very best
stable bedding, which certainly cannot

There are machines that shred the
fodder and husk the corn at the same
time. When the corn and fodder are
both dry, this does excellent work. In
rainy seasons and when corn ripens late
it is difficult to preserve the fodder and
the grain too.
While this plan requires more hand
work, the shredding can be left until

SHREDDED FODDER.
Stopping n Big Leak by Utilizing the En-
tire Corn Plant.

A succession of dry seasons, causing
shortage of grass, has forced us to
learn the value of the corn plant for
feeding purposes. The use of the silo
has been spreading westward after be-
ing adopted by advanced farmers Of the
east. Later ON machines were invented
for shredding both dry and green stalks,

HOW ELEPHANTS CROSS A RIVER.

From Pearson's Magazine.

enormous barrel which may roll round at any
moment and take you under. Besides that they

Having crossed the stream. they must climb
to the top Of the bank and this is the most Pc
culiar operation Of all. Down on their knees
they GO and with trunk and tusks dig out
a foothold for themselves and so, step by step,
work their way TO the .op, their position being
sometimes like that of fly climbing up wall
As they reach the top they give a lurch side
ways. and shoot one leg straight over the bank,
then give a lurch to the other side and shoot
out the other leg in the same way, which brings
them into the position of boy hanging by his
arms from the edge Of a roof. Then they come
to their knees and finally. with great scram-
bling and kicking Of their hind legs, bring them
selves TO level ground again

But all these good points amount to nothing,
according to the testimony of a fiat-dweller if

MERCHANDISE SALVAGE.
HOW GOODS DAMAGED BY FIRE AND
WATER ARE MADE SALABLE


NESS ARE EMPLOYED TO RESTORE GOODS
TO THEIR ORIGINAL CONDITION.
The great Broadway fire, by which a large
stock Of merchandise was destroyed has caused
inquiry as to what becomes OF such fireswept
stocks as are not entirely ruined. How arc the
goods recovered and who does It?
Insurance companies and adjusters Of FIRE
losses have no difficulty in answering these
questions. and refer those people who make in
quiry on the subject to the salvage, or wrecking,
companies which exist In New-York, Chicago,
Boston and Kansas City. There are salvage con-
Germs in other cities also but only few under
take large contracts. and they are prepared to
handle almost any class of merchandise, in any
condition, from slightly damaged by water" to
severely burned The salvage company fol-
lows closely the heels of the insurance pco-
pie and as soon as the fire has been put out its
inspector is sent to the scene Of the connagra-
uon, where an examination is made to see how
much Of the stock may be rescued from the
ruins. Sometimes the salvage concern works
for the insurance people and sometimes for the
owners Of the goods. That depends on the terms
or settlement between the owners and the in
surance companies In some instances where
by the terms OF the settlement the goods. or
what is left Of them, become the property of the
insurance companies, they are turned over to

RUN ON SPANS BANK.
Long Line of Men and Women Anx'
iOus TO Change Notes tor silver.

Madrid, June 1.-5 p. m,-The atten-
tion of the public today is absorbing
in the condition of the Bank of Spain,
which is considered more serious than
any reverse of the war, inasmuch as
the impOssibilty of the bank to help
the government means impOssiblity to
continue the war.
There was a long procession at the
bank during the day. All classes of
people were represented and many wO-
men were in line waiting their turn to
change notes into silver, fearing the
notes would soon be subjected to a
discount
If the run continues there is danger
of the banks store of silver becoming
exhausted, which would compel the
government to resort to forced cur
rency, issuing notes of small denOmS,
nation. 1t is hoped, however, that the
panic will subside, leaving the bank a
margin of silver.
The financial outlook of Spain is
rather dark. The government has en-
trusted the Bank of Spain with the
negotiations for a loan of | zoo, 600 pese-
las at four per cent, which sum is to
bc raised as required, The bank will
endeavor to raise the loan at home
and abroad.
