Corn should be fed with judgment.
Old corn is better than new and
there is a loss in the crib while
waiting for prices to 60 up, as corn
dries some the older it gets. Corn
that is smutty or moldy should not
be put in the crib, as it is injurious
to all kinds of stock, producing a
disease styled by some as Stomach
staggers." If smutty corn is placed
in the crib with sound corn there is
a possibility of the sound corn being
affected. The same rule applies to
corn fodder; use only that which is
clean and free from blemish. When
cattle refuse certain kinds of corn
fodder the chances are that there is
something wrong with it.

Every farmer should endeavor
to convert the grain into meat if
possible, not only for the sake of
the higher price to be obtained, but
because meat is not as bulky as
grain, and the expenses of market
ing are less. When a farmer sells
corn or any grain there is nothing
left behind, but when the grain is
fed to stock much OF its real value
is retained on the farm in the ma
nure. Fat takes less from the farm
than protein, and the fatter an ami
NAL that is sold the smaller the loss
of the soil elements, proportionately,
and the larger the profit.

Destruction OF Weeds.

Sulphuric acid, when used for the
purpose of disintegrating manure.
performs the excellent service of
destroying the seeds of weeds. The
fact that acid acts upon manure is
sufficient to show that all sub
stances in the head are subject to
its influence. AS one of the claims
in favor of artificial fertilizers is
that they are free from seeds OF all
kinds, such fact presents Itself to
farmers as very important one,
hence the use of sulphuric acid in
reducing maurial substances on the
farm renders the manure free from
the objections urged against the
plant food in the heap and puts the
homemade fertilizer on par with
the prepared commercial articles.

When animals are growing there
is a larger proportion of mineral
matter required in the food than
when they are matured. Grain
contains very little lime, which is
essential in the formation of bone.
Dams that are expected to produce
young must be fed food that will
assist in the work expected of them
as producers of young stock. Bran,
linseed meal and clover hay are
more suita BILE for such animals than
grain, and should be added to the
ration. Corn is the cheapest of all
foods for promoting the formation
of fat, but even in that case it gives
the best results when the entire ra-
ton is of varied character.

stalks cut after blooming, they will
bloom annually, provided the bed
is well-protected in Winter. A
shovelful of well-rotted manure over
each stalk, with straw or some other
covering over the manure will serve
as a protection. When tulips or
hyacinths are grown in glasses the
flowers and stems are produced at
the expense of the bulbs, but when
grown in rich soil the exhaustion
does not occur.

Some people need a hint or two
to remind them of what is in order
"to do next" Well, one thing now
is to cut down the asparagus straw,
shape up the bed and cover well
with compost, in the absence of
which stable manure from the horse
barn NAV be used. 1t will do no
harm if the covering is six inches
deep. 1t is in polnt here also to
state that when the ground freezes
up all the asparagus for next sea
son is stored in the roots at that
time so that while the soil is open
and the manure applied much OF
the fertilizing principle will reach
the roots this Fall. 1t has often been
stated that the asparagus plant will
rise an inch or more every year;
hence, in the course of five or six
years, the plants would be near the
top and the cutting next season
might be detrimental, so that in
shaping the bed and applying the
top dressing the whole will be kept
intact.

Chickens with ~wolie" MYERS.

Mrs. Gussie Gross, Olo, Idaho,
wants to know remedy "for a
disease among her chickens. They
become mopy and lame and the
liver enlarges until it almost fills
their bodies"
Enlargement of the liver and gall
occurs in overfed fowls, or in con-
sequence of feeding too much stimu-
lating food. Feed soft cooked food
for a few days, so as to make as lit
tie call as possible upon the digest
i've organs. Give a grain OF calomel
every other day for few days, Civ
ing the fowls warm, dry quarters.

The soil in the orchard should be
well drained, so that the roots will
60 down deep and lessen the danger
from drought.
While mulching is beneficial to
wherries it should not be done
until the ground freezes hard enough
to bear up wagon.
One of the best remedies for plant
lice j. strong tobacco water, sprink-
led well over the foliage and leaves;
repeat if necessary.
November is a good time to plant
out currant and goosberry bushes,
taking care to select fairly young
bushes for planting.
One of the main objects in prun-
ing, is to take out branches that in
terfere with others, as well as to re
move dead or diseased limbs.
One reason for planting ont rasp'
berries in the Fall is that they start
to grow very early in the Spring,
often before planting is possible.
One item in preventing decay in
fruit through the Fall and Winter
is to preserve a uniform tempera-
ture. 1t is the changes that Injuries.
Poultry may be allowed in the
orchards at all times. Hogs and
sheep may he allowed when the
fruit is ripening, but never in Win
ter.
Raspberries produce good crops
in the same soil for years, but
Strawberries produce their best crop
the first year after they come into
bearing.
Now is good time to secure what
trees one needs for planting and
heel them in carefully, providing
good drainage and protection from
rabbits.
One advantage in fruit growing
is the small amount of plant food
that the vines and trees consume
from the soil. No other farm crop
draws so lightly.
Grape vines trained on high
| frames for arbors are less subject
to rot than other vines that have
been trained close to the ground,
preventing a free circulation of air.

FOR THE FARMER.


Cultivation of trees late in the
season is harmful,
Care must be taken not to keep
scions for grating too damp.
There are few, if any, fruit grown
more readily than the grape.
Now is one of the best times to
apply manure in the orchard.
All the sorting that apples re-
quire is when they are gathered.
Applying salt around the fruit
trees makes the plant food available.
The storing place for apples
should be cool-just above freezing.
When too large flower pots are
used there will he more foliage than
flowers.
The symmetry of a tree depends
on its proper pruning when young
and growing.
Plums prefer deep, stiff soil, to
a light one. They do better on low
lands than the peach.
When selecting scions for graft
ing larger fruit trees always select
them from bearing trees.
Do not allow weeds or grass to
lay close around the stem of the
tree during the Winter.
BY planting few fruit trees of
different varieties each year the
orchard will never be old.
Skillful pruning is absolutely
necessary for securing continued
crops of good fruit of any kind.
Wood ashes about the roots of
fruit trees are good preventive of
borers, besides being a good ferti-
lizer.
1t is good plan to manure the
garden thoroughly and then pillow
deep before cold, freezing weather
sets in.
Trees for a windbreak should
have a close growing habit, and be
as nearly Of perpetual foliage as
possible.
Small trees will root better than
larger ones, and young trees will
start off in growth sooner than
larger ones.

Croker Demands to be Heard.

New York, November 2,-The plan
Of the Mazet Investigation Committee
to adjourn this afternoon until after
election was upset by the appearance
Of Richard Croker, who made the de-
mand to the committee that he be per-
mitted to give further testimony. Chair
man Mazet decided to have an extra
session tomorrow, so that the Tammany
Chieftain could take the stand.
The sudden change Of front on the
part of members Of the committee was
due to Mr.. Croker's appearance at the
session and to the statement credited to
him before he left Tammany Hall in
which he challenged Assemblyman Ma
yet to 90 on the stand before the Mazet
Investigation Committee and swear to
what he IS alleged to have said about

Fitzsimmons that it was a sure thing
for him. Now take my advice, don't
worry about all those stories which you
hear of Jim's sickness. He's all right,
and hen win sure"
Sharkey was never in better condition.
He has trained faithfully and in every
sense of the word has lived up to the
instructions given him by his manager.
A comparison between his condition and
that of Jeffries could scarcely be drawn.
Both are fit. Each has trained assidu-
ously Notwithstanding rumors to the
effect that Jeffries is in an unfit condi-
ton, he seems to be fit to fight for his
and IA dozen mems lives and as for
Sharkey, to use the vernacular there is
nothing doing" if he needs any improve
ment to win the championship.
A prominent man up town who is in
the habit of holding great many bets,
said tonight:
There seems to be a lack of sporting
blood so far as bets CO. on tomOrrow's
fight. Interest seems at fever heat and
yet men will not wager their money
Queer reports in the respective training
quarters of the fighters as to their in
ability to put up a good argument seems
to have had deterrent effect in the
betting market TO my mind both men
are in the best possible condition. The
most conservative and We'll informed
patrons of the ring agree with me that
the contestants will have a hard battle
for eight rounds, and if it lasts longer
it will be a question of the man with
the stamina to win out"
