VALUABLE FOOD FOR CATTLE.
Successfully Manufactured From Corn
stalks in the State of Maryland.

stalks in the State of Maryland.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The new corn products, upon which
Investigations have been conducted at
the Maryland agricultural experiment
station to determine its value as a
stock food, has been given much con-
sideration by the farming community
of the state; in fact, many states have
taken up the subject and are conduct
ing experiments to ascertain its rela-
tive feeding value. In the process of
the extraction of the pith. the blades
and husk are first removed and the
stalks are cut up in small pieces. After
the extraction of the pith from the
stalk the balance is ground up into
meal, which in general appearance re-
sembles coarse bran. This ground
material is termed the new corn prod
uct." The new corn proouct contains
II pounds per 100 more digestible pro-
tein than the whole fodder shredded.
During the past few years much has
been done in the way of testing meth
DDS for preparing corn fodder for feed
ing, with most of the results in favor of
some method of shredding the stalk,
Shredding possesses many points which
makes it superior to the ordinary or old
way of cutting fodder, the principal one
of which is that the shredded fodder is
almost wholly eaten by animals.
1t is found that the new corn product
contains within one pound as much to-
tai digestible matter as wheat bran, but
less than one-third as much digestible
protein, consequently the nutrltlVe "a
ito is wider. II was further observed
that animals fed with a fattening "a
ton with the new corn product base
| made more gain in live weight and up
on less feed than with a fattening ra-
| ton of the same grain and corn blades

Modern stateU.

For strategy has in these modern.
days assumed additional importance
from the fact that even when battle
is joined its influence 10 still largely
felt. Distances in modern battle are
so great, and the minor units become SO
dispersed, that the direction of the fight
is very likely to slip from the grasp
of the supreme leader. Once launched
in the attack men can rarely do more
than proceed straight to their front.
A change Of direction to flank under
fire will be all but, if not quite, inn
possible, and it will not be easy to sub
sequently correct errors in direction
made at the outset. A battle win be
fought out much more closely as it was
originally planned, and there will be
little room, for sudden inspirations or
brilliant strokes such as formerly made
or marred the day. Now strategy
teaches not how to strike, but where
to strike, not. make the most of a
bad situation, but to insure that the
situation will be the reverse Of bad,
that before ever q shot is fired the
odds will be in your favor rather than
in that Of your enemy. Not only, there
fore, is strategy as potent factor as
ever within It'll own sphere, but it rs
invaded the realm where tactics aloae
| formerly held sway.-London Saturday

DEWEY TELLS A STORY.
A Amusing Tale Of u Wonderful
Parrot That Learned to
Speak Spanish.

trio captain. The ship put in at Rio
de Janeiro when the commander was
much worried about the health of a
pet parrot. He asked the ships doc
tor to prescribe, and the latter ex-
pressed the opinion that all the bird
needed was chance to climb into the
green tree on shore, chew bark, and
taisport itself. So the captain sum-
moned his steward and bade him take
the parrot ashore and give it some exer-
else.
The captains steward was an impor-
tant person then. This one was con-
ceited old darky, who aped absurdly
the authoritative ways Of his master,
and the men were always on the look
out for a chance oplay him some trick.
When he stepped to the port gangway
+ to get into the liberty boat, with the
cage containing the bird inclosed in an
old ammunition bag, they saw their
opportunity. There was sea run
ming in the harbor, which made it diff
ficult for the boat to. keep alongside,
and, just as the steward put out foot
toward the gunwale, they purposely
eased her of, so that he tumbled into
the sea. He was pulled out in min-
ute, but the parrot and the cage went to
the bottom.
The steward was distressed. He
dreaded punishment by the captain,
who had said that he would hold him
responsible for the safety of the bird
Having shore-leaye for three days, he
spent his time wandering about the
city and figuring to himself how he
would put in the balance of the voyage
In the ships brig, on bread and water
double-ironed, and exposed to the de.
rision of the crew. At length he was
struck with a brilliant idea.s Rio was
full of parrots, and one parrot is much
like another, especially green ones. He
bought, for the equivalent of IS cents, q
green bird with yellow head, which
looked to- him like the twin brother o1
the one drowned. He was also lucky
enough to find cage like the lost one
and in it he took his precious purchase
back to the frigate.
| s. now as DeWey Tells the story, tnt
captain was delighted to see his PEI
once more, and especially to see how
much its plumage was improved ant
how much more sprightly it had be
come. But his establishment may b,
imagined when, being asked whether
It would like a cracker, the bird re

NEW AND SPLENDID
TRAIN SERVICE
On "The Colorado Road.'' 2

The popular and progressive
Colorado Road has made several
important changes in time and
character of its trains. Another
train between Denver and Colora-
do Springs has been added. All
of the equipment of the Colorado
Road is new ans. up to date. The
time of departure of trains for
Colorado Springs is $50 n. m.,
11:20 a. m, 3 p. m. and 11:30 p.
m. The train for Pueblo leaves
at l1:20 II. IN. That for Leadyille
and Gunnison at S:15 a. m. On
Sundays the 3 p. m. train for Col
orado Springs leaves at Z p. M.
and the train for Boulder, Fort
Collins, etc. at 7 p. m, while the
Silver Plume and Central City
train leaves at 6 p. m. Thus the
Colorado Road has by far the best
service between Denver, Colorado
Springs and Manitou. The 11:2O
a. IN. train carries a cafe car, SO
that you can take luncheon en-
route to Colorado Springs OF
Pueblo.
