HANDLING CORN FODDER.
When Cut at the Right Time, and
Properly Cured, 1t Is n Mine of
Wealth to Farmers.

Corn fodder is not an article of CON-
merce, but as a feed it is worth about
as much, acre for acre, as hay. In or
der to get the most out of corn fodder
it is necessary for the farmer to keep
stock enough to consume it all and to
cut, cure and save it in the best pos
sible condition. 1t should be cut when
most of the husks have turned brown.
If cut earlier it is apt to be in .jured by
molding in the shock or by warm rains
before it is thoroughly cured. If it is
left standing too loug it declines stead
ily in value as a feed until it is worth
less. Shocks should contain from 100
to 12O hills. Smaller shocks leave too
much of the fodder exposed to the ac-
ton of the air, sunshine and rains
which in lure the outer leaves and stalks.
As soon as the corn viii do to crib it
should be husked, the fodder shredded
and run into NOW in the barn; it is
then secure from injury and is in the
very best form to feed and also to use
us bedding. The cheapest way to hush
and shred the fodder is to use a ma
chine which does both at one operation.
Shredded fodder will not make animals
mouths sore as that cut in short
pieces does. Another good method Of
caring for fodder is to tie it in bundles
asst is husked, and haul it into the barn
or stack it in long, narrow ricks that
can be used from the end as wanted. If
the bundles are set up in the field in
large shocks and securely tied, the fod
der will keep well nearly all winter.
Fodder left standing in the field to be
CLEANED over by the stock is mostly
wasted and is a nuisance on any farm.
1t is also hard to plow under for the
next crop and it is an expensive job t.
break it off, rake and burn it. When
cut. properly cured and cared for, anil
fed to stock. corn fodder is a mine C
wealth.-Evan L. Chalfant. in Prairie

GRANULAR BUTTER.
How to Produce an Srticle That VIII
Keep Well for Considerable
Length OF Time.

TIE following method is employed fol
making butter which it is desired to
keep for a considerable time. When the
butter has reached the granular condi
tion in churning, that is, when the par
ticles are about the size of barley
grains, the buttermiIk is drawn OFF and
ice-cold water added. The butter is
then washed with cold water and re-
moved from the churn to stone jar
without packing or mashing the grains.
The jar is then filed with brine. This
brine will soon dissolve some of the
casine in the butter and so acquire
cloudy aspect y change of brine will
leave the second solution clear on the
butter. \ plate should be used to cover
the butter, allowing the brine to come
up over it. The brine, of course, inter

WILL REDUCE ITS GRADES.
SOUTHERN SAID TO HAVE STARTED
IMPORTANT work.

Statement Is Made That surveying

Leading From Tennessee and
North Carolina Into south Caro-
Iina-PurpOse of the Road Is TO
Reduce All Its Grades 10 Less
Than 1 Per Cent-This, 1t Is BeIiev-
ed, Would BE Followed by the ES-
tabIishment of a Great Freight
ROute-News and Notes of the
Railroads.
A story comes from Columbia that the
Southern Railway has had surveying par
ties out for months on its lines, leading
from Tennessee and North Carolina, to Co
lumbia with a view of reducing all grades
to less than ane per cent. The story is
said to be from the best source, though
not an official of the system.
To reduce all grades above this mini-
mum, would require a great deal of mon-
ey, but il is said the Southern is ready
to spend it for the profits that would re-
suit. The reduction Of the grades would
mean the establishment of a practicable
freight route between the West and the
southeastern states that has heretofore
been too difficult for the successful opera
ton of heavy freight trains The present
route for handling this business is circuit
Gus, and it is said the Southern wants to
open up another via its SPaHtanburg and
Morristown route. 1
The SouthernS undertaking such a
scheme as the reduction of grades and
making the mighty mountains passable
for heavy freight trains, is taken 10 mean
that it wants to build up a great export
trade. 1t is believed the company intends
building into Savannah in due time, and
this port would naturally be the outlet FOR
its business brought from the West.

$2,500 for a Clubhouse.
The Savannah Golf Club will give its for
NAL opening tomorrow. From until 6
o'clock in the afternoon tea will be served
az the course by a number of the ladies in
crested, and it is believed the event will
he very pleasant. Had it not been that the
Aiston-duBignon wedding will attract
many of the members of the club, there
would have been more elaborate opening.
The contract of Messrs. Floyd & Co.
has teen practically completed There yet
remains good deal of work, but it is of
character that admits of delay, or rath-
er, demands ii. For some days the con-
tractors will keep two or three men rak-
ing up and cleaning up the course, but the
principal part is complete.
For several days golf has been played
on the links AS the work progressed the
menb-rs were able 10 try an increasing
number of holes, and now all nine are
op5n. The first real play win be that of to-
morrow, and it is expected there will be
many out on the course.
1t is very probable that the club WI
soon commence the construction of a very
commodiuS club house. 1t was expec ed
that there would be nothing more than a
shanty for the safe keeping of the sticks
and other property of the members. II
would scarcely be their desire to lug their
golfing outfits back and forth with them
every time trip 10 the course was made.
At a recent meeting of the Executive
Committee this matter of a building came
up. The majority of the committeeman
opposed the idea of building an expensive
clubhouse at present, believing il some
thing that should be left to the future.
One of the gentlemen, however, is an en-
q 10 ~ naRIa ,uia aefff -
in fact, and so devoted to the game and its
sport that he is convinced that golf has
great prospects in Savannah. All a'ong
he has favored the plan of building a
house of which the club might be proud,
opposing strenuously the suggestion for
a shanty to serve the need until something
more pretentious could be built
The dissenting member is able to devote
himself 10 golf, his bank account being a
very attractive one. He was so desirous
OF having the committee decide upon the
club house at once that he rendered a
lean of 81, 500, without interest, to be paid
back when the club finds itself able. That
was so generous an offer that the other
members of the committee did not feel
like accepting it until they could care
fully figure out their prospects for re-
paying the loan. The matter is now I'M
der consideration, but it is probable that
the offer will be accepted, as the commit
tee finds there is every chance of interest
in the game increasing and the money be-
ing repaid.
The club house will cost $500 1t viii
be built within a few feet of the car
track Care will be taken to make it
both attractive and convenient. When it
has been completed members of the club
will doubtless take even greater interest
in it. 1t is expected that the interest

WILL SHOOT FOR TURKEYS.
How the Rifle Association Members
VIII Spend New Years.

SpcAu NGW -
The Rife Association will have con-

tomary for such contests to be held, either
at Thanksgiving or New Years, and the
members look forward TO them with no
little interest. There is often some excel
lent shooting, and the turkey prizes put
just enough of the desired into the
matches to make the marksmen put forth
their very best efforts.
On this occasion 1t is particularly deslr-
ed that the shooting be over and done
with in plenty of time to admit of the
attending members getting back to the
city for dinner. In order to accomplish \
this it will be necessary for them to leave
the city on the 10 o'clock car. 1t is pro-
posed to have the shooting commence at
1870.
The members present will be divided into
four classes. A turkey will be offered as
the prize in each class. There are of
course, varying grades of excellence
among the marksmen, and this division in
10 classes is made necessary. The round
targets will be shot at, and to those max
ing the highest scores the turkeys will be
