For LIE Farmer
>nMAMmnMlAu.n>umnMl

Ny experience in winter feeding has
shown that the most economical pro-
1uction of flesh when fodder was used
was by feeding crushed corn with
clover hay in the morning and crushed
corn with cut fodder at night. So says
Ernest J. Riggs in The National Stock
man and Farmer. My fodder was cut.
he says, not shredded in November
and put right into the barn at a cost of
AZ cents per shock of IA hills square.
which would make total cost of
about IA cents per shock, since the fod-
der could have been sold in the field at
10 cents. When fodder is stored in
this way, it is so much more con-
venient to handle, both in feeding and
hauling it out in manure, that much is
gained by it, even though no more of it
Is eaten than when fed without cut
ting. The refuse which is left in the
hangers is thrown out for bedding,
and it is first class too.
When it is possible to cut or shred
either in the stable or in the racks out
side. l do not feed any fodder what
ever in the feed lot, as there is no need
for it, for the cattle are fed in the sta
BILE all the clover hay they will eat in
the forenoon and then turned out to
water and allowed the use of the straw
stack for couple of hours. They are
not turned out for the purpose of eat
ing, but to give them water and little
exercise, and then when they are sta
bled they are eager for their feed of
cut fodder. When the fodder is to be
cut, it should be done as soon in the
fall as possible, so that it will not be
subjected to the ruinous effects of
the weather By the use of a good
machine and with the fodder in good
condition one can cut $50 shocks, but
it is a dusty job and a hard days
work, which one does not fully appre-
ciate until winter, when snow is on
the ground and all the feeding is done
on the inside of the barn.

Timothy Brown

Oh, Timothy Brown was terrible scamp,
And lessons he voted bore!
French, grammar, geography, history, sums,
He vowed he'd not learn any more.
At the end of year he knew nothing at all
About anything under the sun.
French grammar, geography, history, sums
He'd forgotten them every one.
One day rich uncle said: Timothy Brown,
I'll ask you question or two.
If I'm forty-five and you're younger than l,
How much am older than your?
Well, Timothy Brown, he thought for awhile
And at last he discovered this fact
That he hadn't notion how long he'd been born
And he didn't know how to subtract.
Come, when is your birthday? I'll give you
tip
Said his uncle and patted his pate,
But Timothy Brown, he burst into tears
He couldn't remember the datel
That's the end of the story of Timothy Brown,
A story that's perfectly true,
And perhaps there's moral for at all,
And perhaps there's moral for you.
Eric Parker in St. Nicholas.

The king of Belgium is born specu-
lator. From his parents he inherited
three-quarters of a million sterling.
With this capital he began to speculate
and showed his mastery skill as a
financier in his dealings in Panama
canal stock. By judicious buying and
selling he is estimated to have made
four millions. Then he was seized
with the Kongo Free State hobby,
which obtained such a mastery over
him that his financial acumen was
overpowered, and he sank his private
fortune in it. Whether it will ever re-
turn good value for the money re-
mains to be seen.

ally. Recently London reviewer tried
to crush the novelist by praising the
woman. In point he said:
Miss Corelli is a dazzlingly pretty
woman, but she fails as a novelist"
Whereupon Miss Corelli replied in a
personal letter to an English daily
newspaper as follows:
"Mr. Jones has brown beard three
inches long and neatly trimmed. He is
slightly bald, but, on the whole, good
looking, yet he cannot write correct
English"
The controversy ended at this point.

WHAT A SALT WATER EASTERN
sHoREMAN HAS TO SAY ABOUT.
THEM.
Easton, Md, Aug. l4.-Salt water
Eastern Shoremen do not know much
about ptomaines. there never having
been one here. as far as known, but
they do believe in hard crabs as
wholesome article Of food. No cook,
however, would. under any clrcum-
stances, put in the pot a dead or
sick crab. Such an act would
be considered an indictable Of
fense, an attempt to poison. Country
crabs never hurt anybody as food.
Crab is eaten at the same meal with
Icurd, cucumbers, cherry pie, or any
thing else. The point Is to cook them
alive as soon as possible after being
taken FROM the water. They should be
cooked in a pot, not boiled, however,
but steamed in vinegar and water. A
gill OF vinegar and as much water is
plenty for a dozen or eighteen large
crabs. Fresh seaweed should be pack
ed over them II obtainable. Long yard
grass. or green plaintain mahe a good
substitute.
The salt water Eastern Shoreman as
d rule eats only such deviled crabs as
are prepared by his own cook for his
own table They never eat deviled
crabs far away from home.
It is a mistake to suppose that crabs
viii not eat offal They are the scay-
engers Of the deep They win eat any
kind OF flesh. A dead body will fatten
a hundred crabs They are baited with
putrid tripe. They will eat all Sum
mer. except when shedding or soft. The
hard crab never sleeps, bat always
eats. Their claws may be called
hands, but it is the sole business of
these hands to convey food to the
mouth when not in use for defensive
purposes. Crabs will eat each other il
confined in a peter-boat in the water
It is wonderful how much they do eat,
and a mystery what they do with It.
Put half-pound crab in a livebox with
an alewife in the evening, and in the
morning it will be found that the crab
has eaten the fish, and it is still a half
pound crab, plus possibly an ounce
