A NEW FOOD FOR CATTLE.
Agricultural Department Announces .
Method of Using Cornstallxs.

Method of Using Cornstalks.
A series OF experiments which has been
carried on for some time past by the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington has
recently developed new use for corn.
stalks, from which n valuable horse and
cattle food can now be made. The depart.
ment has done much work with cornstalks
In the past year, and has developed several
valuable uses for them, namely, coffer.dam
packing for warships, high grade OF
writing paper, tho basis OF a smokeless
powder su perior to the picrlc acid powders.
and several other uses.
The new cattle food is made by grinding
the dry cornstalks with the leaves and
tops to powder and mixing 1t with blood
or molasses, or both. THIS Ia pressed into
cakes under hydraulic press and can be
shipped AS enslly rs bricks or cordwood
For feeding it Is broken up and mixed with
water. Actual tests have been made at ex.
pertinent stations and samples have been
sent to agricultural stations In Europe.
The reports from all sources are very en-
couraginG.
The cost OF making the food cakes under
fairly favorable conditions would be from
$40 to Sl2 per ton. and their value on
nutrltive basis would be from s22 to S25.

Three Freight Trains Were wrscked.
PRINCETON, N. J. (speclal).-A wreck CO.
Cured on the Pennsylvania Railroad few
days ago near Monmouth Junction. Three
loaded freight trains smashed together,
killing three men and pilinR thirty-eIght
cars upon the tracks, shutting OF trafic
for ten hours. The dead are Charles 8.
spegler, engineer, OF Jersey City; John
Henicker, fireman, OF Newark, N. j., and
Henry Zagbaum, brakeman, OF Elizabeth,
~. The men killed belonged to the crew
OF the east.bound train s42, the last to
strike the wreck, part OF which was turned
entirely over and hurled into the ditch at
the bottom of an embankment.
The cause OF the wreck Is unknown, but
It Is attributed to broken axle. The cars
for the most part were filled with merchan-
disc.
Two wrecking trains with crews arrived
shortly after the smash-up, but IL was noon
before they were able to clear one track to
allow thu passenger trains, which had been
stalled since early morning at Princeton
Junction, to pass.

OF storm. The prudent farmer watches the
forerunpers OF winter and gathers in his
fruits, houses bis cattle, puts wood and coal
In his bins, when he can do so easily, and
is ready before the SHOWS and bitter cold
come. SO in our life We all should watch the
"sgns OF the times" and shape our course
accordingly. Young people, as they feel the
impulses OF lie in their souls, and hear the
calls OF God sounding In their ears, should
be reminded of the duties and responsibility
ties of life, toward which they are moving
and should diligently prepare themselves
for filing we'll their place. Each period o!
life brings It's own special work. and there

A Source OF Drunkenness.


Several years ago q gentleman OF my &C.
1uaintance fell into the habit OF using In
.oxicants until he seldom; passed day
without some symptoms OF drunkenness,
says the Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler. He
sometimes came home to his family In q
state OF beastly intoxication. Under their
piteous appeals he consented to 60 to an
lnebriate asylum, and after few months
Of treatment he came back apparently en-
tirely reformed. Sunshine again filed the
house that Lad long been shadowed with
shame and sorrow. He continued sober
for several months, but one day an old
friend met him In New York, greeted him
cordially, and invited him to 90 to down
town restaurant and take o social glass
with him. Under sudden impulse he
yielded, and that one glass aroused the
latent appetite; the chained tiger was
loosed again, and my poor friend went
home TINT night pitiably and disgracefully
drunkl During the brief remainder OF bis
life he was wfeckl
=, The whole wretched tragedy OF ruined
life was the result OF single act which
goes under the deceItful name OF "treat-
Ing" That friend who offered the ensnar-
Ing glass proved to be deadly enemy!
Grant that he had NO intention to work a
fatal, mischief; grant that he had no
thought Of doing serious harm. He did
1t, however, as surely as II he had been
actuated by fiendlsh malice.
For evil Is wrought by want Of thought,
As. well rs by want OF heart.
The perniclous and abominable custom
Of treating" friend to a glass OF tnto1l.
,ating liquor Is one OF the most prolific
causes OF intemperance. It often engen-
ders the habit OF drinking; It often con.
Arms the awful propensity; and sometimes,
as In the case OF that gentleman mentioned
" the beginning Of this article, 1t sends a
reformed inebrIate back into the mlre.
Il wears 4 gu!se OF friendship and appeals
70 ths weak side OF human nature. "Come
and take drink With me-" says the poll
tl.ian who hopes to win vote. "Won't
Fou take social glass with me2" Is the
subtle invitation OF false friendship that
10 too often yielded to. It Is not every one
that has tie nerve OF Brooklyn neighbor
of mine who, having once been an inebriate,
used to say to anyone who invited him to
:ake drink, III you ask me to do that
again, I'll knock you DOWN.
This perllous custom OF treating has
spread very widely. When customer has
made good purchase he is often invited
by the merchant to 60 of to o restaurant
or bar-room for a bottle OF wine to "close
up the bargain" The drummers for COM
meroial houses seek very often to win cus-
toners by polite Invitations to drinking
resort, or to theatre, or sometimes to
haunts too vile to be mentioned. The vari.
GUS athletic contests aud intercollegiate
ball games are attended with an enormous
amount OF hard drinking; much OF 1t takes
the form Of "treating" by those who have
won their games or their bets. It Is not
too much to say that a vast amount Of in.
temperance, with dts terrible results to
purse, character and immortal souls. can

Newlands complains that after he had
received the nomination for Congress at
the hands of the silver convention.
Stewart and n of his supporters "at-
tempted to intrigue with the Republi-
cans regarding their Congressional nomi-
nee" Not only is this untrue, but
Stewart wrote a note to his supporter,
Wallace, telling him that he wanted the
Republicans let alone in order that New
lands might have a free field to pursue
his own course with them. This was
much too liberal on the part of the Sen
ator. Mr.. Newlands. as the nominee of
the Silver party, had no right to be the
candidate of it's Republican opponents.
His manipulation Of the Republican
convention was treason to the Silver
party.
