Care Of CornstallSs.

We believe that usually as fast as
the corn is husked out the stalks should
be only left a day or two if the weather
promises to be fine and be then at once
drawn TO the barn. 1t may be supposed
that while there is still SO much Juice
IN the stalk there will be great danger
OF the stalks fermenting. But if the
stalks have been free from rainfall for
week before all the heating they will
get will only make the outer coating of
the stalk less hard and will therefore
enable the stock to eat greater portion
OF 1T. We have seen COWS greedily eat
stalks from the NOW in winter that had
termented even to the point of mildew-
ing, while stalks thrown loosely on the
scatfold and which had never reached
fermentation were dry and tasteless.
The truth is that the outside Of the
cornstalk is so hard that some fermen-
tation is an advantage to it. We are
used to saying that all fermentation i'm
plies some destruction of nutrition,
This is doubtless true in the silo. But
making the stalks easier for stock to eat
much more than compensates for the
waste caused by slight fermentation
either Ill the NOW or in the silo. -

An inexpensive Portiere.

An inexpensive portiere can be made
of rope The Decorator and Furnisher
says: Select a good, smooth piece. That
which is sold for cotton clothesline is
often used. If you have the pole and
rings already in place, cut the rope in
lengths 80 they will reach from the
rings to within few inches of the
floor. Fringe out the lower end of ea
length six or eight inches and tie k
above to keep it from untying Fasten
each length into ring. Some prefer
them of two lengths, every other one
shorter. If you have no pole and do not
wish to buy one, get some one to put
up a rustic pole and use screw eyes te
fasten the rope in.

Preserving Prairie Grasses.

In an address On the Importance of
native grasses and their preservation
reported by the Kansas Farmer, Pro.
fessor George l.. Clothier prescribes one
course, which, however, is limited in its
application to smooth land This is to
change pasture into meadow eve light
or ten years and let it remain meadow
four or five years. Prairie grass, when
used for meadow a number Of years,
grows thicker on the ground and more
productive. This can be accounted for
by the fact that meadows are not tramp
ed by stock and the foliage has ample
time to store away sufficient nourish.

year before the crop is harvested. The

cutting the tender and the tough sorts
alike, while, on the other hand, stock
usually pick certain choice localities up
on which they eat the grass out, and at
the same time allow the poor sorts to
grow up undisturbod in punches over
the field. The most perfect method of
preservation advocated is what is term
ed rotative pasturing. This is grazing q
part Of the land with the whole I'd
for part of the season and then allow
ing this to rest while the other part is
grazed. This can be accomplished by di.
viding the pasture into two fields of

SOME POTENT FACTS
That the Reader Will Do Well
to Carefully Ponder Over.

1t was kept a secret for years in
good old Quaker family. The
neighbors all knew about it, and
many time had reason to be thank
ful ter It's existence. Its fame spread
and strangers who heard about it
wrote for information concerning it,
sometimes tried its virtues and
sometimes put off trial tor more
convenient time. To tell how it
was dragged from an obscure coun-
try village and placed before the
general public would be interesting
reading, but lack of space compels
us to withhold the particulars. 1t
Is sufficient to know that over a
year ago it had gone to every CITY

banking Celery.

Here is what American Cultivator
has to say on the banking of celery: 1T
is best to tie string around the tops
drawing the stalks as closely together
as possible. This not only prevents the
celery from rusting because of dirt get
ting between the leaves, but the plants
can be packed much closer and handled
more easily. A small rubber band will
save more than it's extra cost over string
In the greater ease with which it can
be applied. 1t is also better, as it will
draw the stalks closer after they are
taken from the ground, and thus give
the celery fresher appearance. Where
stalks are thus bound not much bank.

side and running to nearly point at the

A Era,e New.paper Man.

II. p. Hubbard states that some Tine
ago he was riding on the cars with
Senator Hawley OF Connecticut, and In
the course of a general conversation
the senator told q good war story in
regard to John Is. Bogart, the we'll
known newspaper man.
This was the story. Bogart was, at
the outbreak of the civil war. clerk
in John II. Coley's dry goods store on
Chapel street. New Haven. Conn. The
now Senator Hawley went out first as
captain OF Hartford company Of
three months men. and when he came
back was commissioned as colonel Of
the Seventh Connecticut, regiment.
Companies were raised in all parts of
the state and. OF course. rushed TO the
front.
Bogart was a member OF one OF the
companies of the Seventh during the
battle OF Olustee. Gen. Hawiey being
the b-igadier general in command
the whole line lying in front OF the
enemy-got out of ammunition. Haw
ley called for volunteers 10 take am
munition along the line to the men.
who would otherwise have been de-
fenseless. The only man who dared
to do this was Bogart; he was then a
young soldier and a quartermastcr's
sergeant. and Gen. Hawiey says he
drove the ammunition wagon nearly a
half mile along the line within range
OF the enemy's line.
The Seventh were lying behind i'm
provised breastworks, and he left
package OF cartridges every 20 or so
feet and returned unharmed. although
frequently fired at by the Confeder-
ates.
Bogart's bravery and nerve at the
time stands out very clearly In Gen.
Hawley's mind as one OF the finest cx-
hibit!ons that he saw during the entire
war.

MAI. Arthur II. Wagner has made a
report TO the war department on ;hc
subject OF European army maneuvcrs
which is full OF interest TO all who
concern themselves with military mHt-
teTS. From advance sheets the Army
ana Navy Journal makes the following
excerpts:
Under the heading OF Bicycles"
MAJ. Wagner says that the role most
frequently assigned 20 the bicycle
company was that CT support to the
cavalry. But its employment was iy

ample, on one occasion successful
ambuscade was laid for the advance

from the main body. however. that
they made themselves particularly val
liable.
ON the FIRST day OF the German
mangeyers the cavalry sought to cs-
tabiish contact with the enemy over
the lateral roads and through open
iields. while the cyclists held the prln-
clpal roads. The latter had. of coursc.
the advantage over their opponents.
FOR. covered by bitches. they were Inn
mediate!y ready for combat, and ~
their fire could prevent the cavalry
from pushing ahead and getting ac-
curate information of its adversary 8
position. II could not report that II
had been fred on by cyclists. for The
wheels lay hidden in the grass OF the
bitches and hedges. II would thus be
compelled TO assume that 1t had been
stopped by infantry Are. and would
convey erroneous information as to
the enemy's position"
The night attacks practiced by the
British Maj Adams considers one OF
the most interesting features OF las.

major says. were novel and merit

band around their hats. Each brigade
had one lighted signal lantern, which
was carried well back in the column
and was never exposed. General off
GERS had an orderly officer from each
brigade. and each brigade an officer
from each battalion. for the purpose Of
communication. Distances from front

ropes, Intervals were maintained Ly

Brigade markers were supplied
with TWO luminous disks. which wero

who were TO guide the columns. pro-
vLded themselves with compasses with
luminous disks. Magnesium rockets
were used with some success by the
plckets for the purpose OF discovering
the advancing columns.
