AHoMEMADE CORN CUTTER.

A Kansas Mans Simple and Satisfac-
tory Arrangement.
The day for cutting corn by hand is
almost past. There are a number Of
machines ON the market, but we have
not found one more satisfactory than q
homemade cutter we have been using.
The sled is made with runners feet
long and 2I2 feet wide. The platform
- made of inch boards and extends IS
inches on the right or knife side. The
sled is an easy load for one horse. The
whiffietrees are attached to the iron
rod c, Fig. L. The sled is also fitted
with shafts. These can be made Of
any light timber. Straight poles are
what we use. Bore hole through one
end to pass the rod G through. These
are to prevent the horse from backing
into the knife.
The knife A is about two feet in
length and is securely bolted to the
sled at each end. 1t can be made Of
an old plowShare or heavy scythe,
or a blacksmith can make one. The
ease in cutting lies in getting this knife
on the sled at the right slant. The
front end should be bolted to the by
brace. b. shown by dotted lines; the
other, Is inches out from the runner to
the other brace, d. The outer end
should be a trif1e the higher and the
edge of the knife turned up a little, SO
that the weight of the sled will help
cut the corn. A box, e, fastened on,
serves as a seat for the one cutting the
corn The horse should be gentle and
will need little attention, as it walks in
the corn row. AS the stalks are cut off

Seeding and FEATURING Stumpa8e.

With a little scientific handling
stumpage may be made excellent pas
turage. In some Of the heavily wooded
sections of Wisconsin the COW II
brought in about as soon as the timber
has been hauled away. The stumps
remain. and in the course of nature tho
spaces around them would soon grow
up thick with briers, berry bushes and
underbrush. But the farmer puts in
his harrow and perhaps his pillow, and
the land is roughly prepared for grass
seed, which is at once sown. The
grass quickly gets a firm hold, and
there is no room for either underbrush
or weeds. The whole land is soon oc-
cupied with grass, except that actually
occupied by the stumps.
The cows are then turned into this
pasture and occupy it for years. Mean
time the stumps, if they be of certain
varieties of trees, are rotting away at
the roots, and the rotting clears the
way for the stumpage pasture to be-
come a tillabIe field. This plan is
worthy of more general adoption, ac-
cording to Farm, Field and F1reside.
Land that has been cleared of timber
Is generally allowed to lie practically
waste for long years. If the cattle are
turned upon it for pasturage, they SIM
ply browse the wild grasses that
spring up here and there. Too often
weeds get possession in such numbers
that the whole area becomes a verita-
BILE thicket of weeds. In all such cases
grass should be placed in possession of
the denuded land

operator, who holds them until he has
an armful, then stops his horse and
carries the stalks to the nearest shock
or lay them in piles to set up later.
This machine, like all fodder cutters,
Is a dangerous thing for men and
beast, and too much care cannot be
used in working around it. The device
at Fig. 2 is used as a safeguard when
the machine is not in use. 1t is made
of by 6 plank three feet long. Holes
are bored in the sled platform at r and

in the holes in the platform, and the
knife will be covered so that nothing
can come in contact with the edge.

Amateur Actors.

teacher the other day. "and l don't

art in a good amateur theatrical scnool
than in the best regular company IN
the United States"

this.
"Oh. l mean it," he went on warmly.
"An earnest amateur will study a whole
play for the sake of getting a proper
ceptlon of his or her one part, though
the part be but a small one.
Imagine a professional actor or ac-
tress doing that!

Worthnm Meets His Ideal.

The Honorable William Wortham Is
now about as well known in a certain
jewelry store in New York as he is in
Texas. where he has long served az
state treasurer. It came about in this

one day, buying a present for a member
OF his family, when he noticed a show
case filled with splendid jeweled revol-
yers with silver and gold grips and
chased barrels, having precious stones
set into the butts.

said to the clerk.

worth even more. The Texan took II
tenderly in both hands and held it ad
miringly up to the light. Then draw
ing himself up to his full height, which
was six feet and half. he rested thu
revolver barrel upon his left elbow
crooked for the purpose, and looked
over the sights down the lSs1g store

ARTHUR. AND BLAINE.
They Were Long on CreenbaclSs and
short on Change.


There is a good story OF the presiden.
tlal excursion down to the eastern shore
of Maryland. The party embraced
Secretaries Blaine and Window and
others. They were fortunate enough to
hear an excellent sermon from the ven
cradle Protestant Episcopal bishop OF
Maryland, who was there to administer
the rite of confirmation. President Ar
thur and the two secretaries sat in
quiet satisfaction. But their peace OF
mind was suddenly dispelled. The Of
fertory was sung. At the familiar
words: let your light so shine before
men," etc, the President and the sec
retaries each quietly dropped a hand
into pocket.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures
on EARTH"
Window drew forth a crisp 81 note
and held 1t between his thumb and
forefnger, ready for the approaching
plate. The President and Mr.. Blaine
went a little deeper into their pockets.
One brought up a nickel and the other
a dime. Their faces flushed. 1t would
never do to make such a contribution.
He that soweth little shall reap little,
and he that soweth plentenusly shall
reap plenteously. God loveth a
cheerful giver."
The President went to his pocketbook,
and the secretary of state explored his
vest pocket with nervous fingers.
"Zaccheus stood forth and said unto
the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half OF
my goods I give to the poor, and if l
have done wrong to any man restore
fourfold.'
The plate was only four pews away.
What the President found in his pock-
etbook was one $50 note and $40
Notwithstanding smaller. What Mr..
Blaine found was two $40 notes-noth-
ing smaller. To put in nickel or a
dime only was not to be thought cf To
give $40 was more than either cared to
do. Each looked at Window sitting
there calmly with his dollar note in
hand. He shook his head.
Charge them that are rich in this
world that they be ready to give and
glad to distribute"
There was no time for further pocket
exploration or consideration. With a
smile of commiseration at each other
and something like glee on Windom's
placid countenance, the President and
the secretary of state each planked
down his $40 note for "the poor of this
congregation" And the worst of it is
said one of the party afterward, that
the Lord would probably give then
credit only for the dollar or two which
they intended to glve.-Philadelphia In

PROMISCUOUS EXPECTORATION.
1t is odd that men cannot be shamed,
educated or reasoned out of the filthy
and deadly habit OF expectoration in
public places The arguments Of the
woman's Sanitary League, some time
ago, embodied in letter to
the Philadelphia Board Of Edu-
cation praying that honorable
body to authorize to be included in the
textbooks on physiology and hygiene
adopted for use in the public schools
pages which shall show the danger to
public health caused by splitting upon
sidewalks, floors or steps Of public
buildings, in cars and places where the
spstum is likely to dry and become
pulverized and diffused through the air
is forcibly indorsed by the Trenton
State Gazette, which says that "the
spitters can be more effectively reached
through the dissemination of knowl-
edge upon the subject than by city or
dinances or by state law"
Expectoration in public places has
been heretofore condemned chiefly
upon the grounds OF indecency, and Sc
long as the spitters conceived that the
non-spitters we're simply trying tc
force them to adopt more polite habits
they refused to relinquish one Of their
rights" as free men.
Now that science has demonstrated
that the spread of disease, even to the
extent OF epidemics. is frequently
caused by dried sputum floating in the
air as dust. we believe that only O
knowledge OF the facts is required tC

to have been frequently described as 4
national disgrace.

/. The bacilli OF tubercle are not dis
tributed everywhere.
