The Value of cornstalks.

There is good deal of talk about
the value of cornstalks, and if all that
is said is true, every farmer in the corn
belt has gold mine in his field. 1t is
said that they yield cellulose, worth
s4Oo ton, for stopping holes in battle
ships, fine cardboard and paper, the
best foundation for dynamite, patent
cattle food and superior glue. But it
is said that 250, 900, 600 tons of cornstalks
go to waste in this country every year.
A New York dispatch says W. R,
Tate, representing syndicate of st.
Louis capitalists, is there prompting
the organization of an industrial COM
bination to control the cornstalk out.
put of the country. Tate says that it
has been found that cornstalks can be
converted into fuel that will produce
as good results as coal. He says that
250, 100000 tons go to waste annually
representing about 5000, 900, 600 loss, be-
cause farmers now burn the cornstalks
in the field or let them rot. The COM
psny proposes to capitalize at $4,000.
600, and will establish factories in the
southern and northwestern corn belts.
The granger should keep his eye on
his cornfield after husking as well as
before. for possibly the time is not dis
tant when all that is now being said
about the value of the heretofore sup.
posed-to-be worthless astalks's mss
prove to be true.

with the sour milk will add to its value.
1t may be clearly demonstrated that
this milk has just the elements chickens
and hens need to produce good results.
Let one flock of hens be kept supplied
with sour milk and another be deprived
of it, and the supply of eggs will soon
convince the most skeptlcal that the
milk possesses high value for feeding
chickens. In the same way, let flock
of chickens, five or six weeks old, be
fed literally on sour milk and another
be given none. At the end of few
weeks weigh the chickens and note the
result in favor of those fed with milk.
Sour milk has lost only the butter
fat it once contained. 1t still contains
all the flesh and muscle producing ele-
ments it ever did. On some farms
know that no store is set upon this
waste milk product" as they call it,
and it is thrown away when not needed
for the calves and pigs. Here is a
serious loss, and l am convinced that
if our farmers thoroughly understood
the facts l have set forth in this arti-
Gle much greater store would be set
upon skim milk. We do not all. of us
realize how much liquid hens require
and will take if they can get it. We
all are apt to think that hens require
no drink. just try them few days
and see how quickly you will change
your mind. - Wallace's Farmer.

ORIGIN OF KALAMAZOO.


Pretty Legend That Ia Responsible
For the Towns Name.
The name Of Kalamazoo. like Oshkosh
and one or two others, has come to be
to foreigners synonym Of American
absurdity. 1t is often chosen, for some
occult reason. to illustrate that form Of
vernacular English known as United
States
But all thought of ridicule vanishes
when Its romantic origin Is considered,
for 1t is the echo still lingering about
the memory Of two dusky lovers, who.
In that long gone time when Michigan
was the home mainly Of Indian tribes.
lived and loved on the banks Of the riv-
or which now bears their names.
Kahla, the young warrior. was
straight Of limb and eagle eyed, while
to Mahzoo had been given by the Great
Spirit the many graoes and virtues for
which Indian maidens have become
noted In song and legend. Life to these
two possessed all the charm which true
affection has ever granted to lovers. and
the days, as they came and went,
brought only abounding Joy.
Each summer evening, as the twilight
deepened and the time drew near for
her lovers return from the chase, the
maiden watched from her bower In the
swaying branches Of giant elm over
hanging the rivers edge for the first
sign OF his coming. AS the bow Of his
canoe shot round the curve away In the
distance her clear musical voice called
to him. "Kahla, Kahlai" and from the
young warrior came In loving tones the
response. "Mahzool"-Chicago Times.

In Berlin, when one pays his fare to

minutes later the inspector would get
ON the car and demand tickets all

The prosperous condition of the
Usage Indians is a notable example of
the beneficial results of cooperation.
They are said to be the richest COM
munity in the world. They number
l,730 souls, all told-men, women and
children. They own 10000 acres of
valuable land; have $9,OOO,OOO in trust
with the government, which pays 8 per
cent. interest, and have leases with cat
tlemen for the use of their pasture lands
which bring them between $4,000 and
$4,000 year, without counting the
rent from the agricultural lands and
the proceeds of their own labor. That,
however, is very small. They have so
much money that they are lazy idle and
in state of rapid degeneration. The
entire tribe is composed of about 300
families, of which l,17O adults and $50
are children of school age. This gives
them over 5000 acres of land for each
family. Including the "grass money!
as they call it, which is received from
leasing pasture, the income of the
tribe will average $4,000 per year, OF
about $500 per capita, or $1,000 per
family, without any labor whatever.

A few weeks ago 1t was proposed to
pay off and disbsnd the Cuban army,
and $3,0O0,0O0 was appropriated out of
the general funds of the United States
treasury for that purpose. At first the
Cuban soldiers resented such action on
the part of the United States and pro-
posed to retain their small arms at all
hazards, end 1t looked as though there
might be conflict in enforcing the sur
render of the arms. All of sudden
the Cuban soldiers apparently expert
enced change of heart, and great
number appeared before the American
officers and claimed their allowance of
seventy-fiye dollars head, and a great
number appeared before the American
officers and claimed their allowance of
seventy five dollars q head, depositing
in exchange their old rifle or musket,
which was worth at the most but few
dollars. What caused this sudden
change? The knowledge that for
twenty-five dollars they could buy q
brand new outfit, of repeating rifle and
complete equipment and have fifty dol
lars left for other purposes. If there is
ever trouble with these same soldiers,
the army ofithe United States will have
to face body of men armed with the
latest improved weapons, bought out
of funds furnished them by theis new
uncle, whom they have "milked" to the
queens taste. The Cubans may be de.
ficient in some things, but they know
enough to exchange an old rifle for a
new one, especially ii there is $50 to
boot in the transaction.-State Adver-

Foamy Cream.

Many times in winter and spring and
from various causes cream. when churn-
ed, foams up light and increases two or
three times it's original quantity. In
stead of the butter breaking and com
ing together, 1t will scarcely break at
all, and when it does it resembles fish
eggs and will not gather. The follow
ing remedy has been tested on the most
obstinate cases and has never failed to
bring good results: After pouring the
cream in the churn add hot water till
the cream is at temperature of 70Ide-
grees; then add one half teacupful of
salt to every three gallons of sour
cream; then churn as usual. The but
ter will break in about 10 minutes and
will gather perfectly.-Live Stock.

Skim MIX for Hens and chickens.
tByE. L. Vincent


On our farm we set high value up
on skim milk for feeding hens and
chickens. The only trouble is that we
do not begin to have enough milk to
spare great deal for this purpose.
If any one doubts that it is kind of
food which chickens greatly enjoy, let
him try putting few quarts into an
old pan or kettle and setting it where
the fowls may have access to it. The
amount of milk consumed in this way
by flock of fifty hens and chickens is
simply astonishing. They seem per.
fectly wild to get it, and will troop
after the person who supplies them this
delicious drink in a great swarm. Care
must be taken not to have the milk too
deep In the pan, or some of the chick.
ems may get drowned. A shallow ves-
sci is best for this purpose.

The Sterling Standard says: The
farmers across the river south of that
city are getting frightened in regard to
their corn crop. The cause of their
trouble is small worm, about an inch
long. 1t bores into the stalk, and in
most instances, goes downward The
worm has brown head and striped
back. 1t propagates very rapidly and
goes from hill to hill in rapid succession.
The first appearance of the pest can be
seen in the dropping of the top leaves,
IS from sweltering sun. AS high as q
dozen worms have been found on one
stalk. Many farmers are of the opinion
that this pest is going to ruin the corn
crop in that region.

FARO BUILT the CHURCH.

However, the bishop knows human ma

Years ago. when Nj. Worthington

saloons, dance halls and gambling
rooms. but neither church nor school.

approached him.

The farmers are waking up on the
trust business and are likely to grow
more intense in their hostility from this
time onward. The great producing
classes of America-the sgriculturists,
who constitute the basis of our power
and wealth--hsve 80 far derived little
or no benefit from the revival of pros
perity coincident with the craze for
trust combinations. While the prices,
of agricultural products have gone
down from the figures of 3 year or two
ago, the prices for trust products, the
necessities of farm life, have largely In
creased. This cuts the farmer both
ways. He pays more for what he re-.
quires and gets less for what he pro-
duces.-Pittsburg Post.

Gods Message to Man.
God said: am tired of kings;
suffer them no more;
Up to my ear the morning brings
The outrage Of the poor.
Think ye made this ball
A field of havoc and wslr,
Where tyrantS great and tyrants small
Might harry the weak and poor?
My angel-his name Is Freedom
Choose him to be your king.
He shall cut pathways east and west
And fend you with his wing.
l will have never noble;
No lineage counted great;
Fishers. and choppers, and plowmen
Shall constitute state.
And ye shall succor man;
Tls nobleneSs to serve;
Help them who cannot help again;
Beware from right to swerye.

More Farm Grown Cattle.


Many thoughtful men throughout
the middle west are much concerned
about the condition of the cattle indus
try. Looking over a number of the
states which are largely the country's
reliance for beef supplies, no one can
fail to be struck by the scarcity of good
cattle. There are cattle, of course, but
to a large extent they have been
brought from a distance, instead of be-
ing grown on the spot, as should be the
case in the cattle-feeding country where
land is SO high that only the best cattle
are profitable. The western ranger can
go to Texas and buy bunch of cattle
to feed on free grasses, and if he don't
pay too much for the cattle, is pretty
sure to make some money, for his feed
costs him nothing, and attention and
management cost but little. 1t is not
so, however, with the man who feeds
cattle on the farm. Every bushel of
grain they eat represents money; every
mouthful of grass they consume comes
off high priced land; every forkful of
hay they are fed means actual outlay in
cash or labor. Under such circum-
stances it is only the best that make
money. Poor cattle, that is poorly bred
and poorly grown cattle, are unable to
return profit for feeding on the farm.
There is coming to be gradual realiza-
tion of the fact that only good cattle
are suitable for farm feeding, but to se-
cure the best results the farmer who
feeds must go step further and cease
to rely on range bred cattle for his feed
ing stock. Cattle to be fed on the farm
should be calved and grown on the
farm, should be raised under farm con-
ditions and should be pushed from
birth, as it is impossible to push range
bred animals. We hope to see at no
distant future this lesson learned, and
we hope, also, for the return of the
time when the beef-growing states of
the middle west will practically furnish
their own supplies of well bred cattle,
bred on the farm under realizing
sense of how necessary good breeding
is to profit and raised from calfhood by
good liberal feeding and careful farm
management that make them suitable
feeders under farm conditions where
every blade of grass and every seed con-
sumed costs money.-Wisconsin Farm
