TALLY lost his hearing some years ago and
communication with him thereafter was one
of the fine arts. Being the agent Of
the Standard Oil company for large terri
tory, he travelled considerably, and on a Ger.
tain occasion fell in with couple Of friends
at Hillsdale, who invited him to go with them
to dinner at the house of resident &C.
quaintance. One Of them quietly said to the
host: "Mr. Chittenden is an exceedingly
pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You must invite him to
ask the blessing.
Accordingly, when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the
blessing"
Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in q
listening attitude he responded in a tone
more decided than unctuous:
1--WE grown so ALFRED deaf lately that il
you've got anything to say to me you'll have

A roar from the two friends disclosed to
Chittenden and the sstonished host that
they had been the victims of a practical joke.
But "Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he un.
derstood what had happened.

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.
II Well Dried When Put In II Will
Keep Sweet and Wholesome
In the Now.

1t has been amply demonstrated not
only by experiments, but by practical
tests made by feeders, that shredded
corn fodder will keep satisfactorily in
the NOW if it is well dried when it is
put in. it should not contain more
than 25 per cent. of moisture. On the
other hand, if it is put in damp it will
mold The quality of shredded fodder
has great deal to do with its value
and especially its commercial value
Where shredded fodder is baled and
sold as hay if it is free from mold
1t will bring as much as good timothy
hay, in most instances it sells from
SIS to IS ton. We look for a great
deal of the bright shredded fodder to
be placed on the market this year.
A Nebraska feeder says that to secure
the incest product the corn should be
shredded just as soon as it comes
out of the dough, and that it will
keep all right If Kicked outside with a
roof over it, but that 1t will heat il
1t is put in the Earn in Lulk. Another
feeder says that il the fodder is dry
when shredded it will not mold il
put int the barn in great bulk. An
Illinois feeder says that he has
stacked it outside and it kept well,
but that it was packed so solid that
water could not run into it. All OF
these feeders prefer to have it under
roof and especially in barns where il
can be easier handled during the win.
ter. In reply to a direct inquiry from
us about the only answer we get is
that the shredded fodder will not
mold nor spoil If the fodder is fully
cured in the shock and is free from
rain when shredded. This is very
important point and should be re.
membered by every one who has his
fodder shredded this year. Be sure
that the stalks are right before they
are put into the shredder.-Prairie

THEIR EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
Something of a Difference Between
the Outlays of n Bishop and
Drummer.

At the Methodist general conference re-
Gently held in Chicago certain members,
both lay and clerical, freely criticised the
large expense accounts of some Of the bish-
ops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They
were charged with extravaganza, and told
that they had no right to live like princes
while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has
felt personally aggreved by these criticisms,
and has published reply. He declares that
his own annual travelling expenses average
less than $3.50. The bishops bill certainly
looks modest. He states that commercial
traveller to whom he showed his account
Laughed long and loud" and said: "The
house for which work allows me eight
dollars a day for travelling expenses" This
comparison PROFESSIONALLY is most fayora-
bic to the bishop. One is reminded, how
ever, that there are certain necessary items
Of heavy expenditure to the account Of a
successful drummer which are escaped by an
itinerant bishop. If Bishop MeCabe were
obliged to treat his constituents as literally
and as frequently as the average CONNER.

1t is most essential that the surface
Of the soil between growing crops
should be frequently stirred. This con.
slant moving of the surface aerates
and sweetens the soil, allows the rain
to easily descend, tends to consume the
natural moisture, and also prevent,
weeds from growing. Moreover, il
helps to drive underground grub,
away, and generally does the crop,
good. A hoe or small handfork is tbs
best tool for the purpose. II is not nee
essary to dig deeply; merely to 1oosei

9 The American people are not
in the humor to elect as their
president a man whose gospel
is that of despair. They look
ION the bright and not the dark
side of life. They make up a
nation that is fair and generous
and has faith and hope and cour-
age. And just this time when
there is growing contentment
4 on all sides and the future is so
fullof promise they arenot going
to bestow their highest gift up
on a professional preacher of
discomfort who for four long
years has done nothing but
talk misfortune, howl about
mistakes and whine for a new
administration with himself at
the head of it. The people are
heartily sick of Mr.. Bryan and
his chronic growing. They
have wearied of his TRADES and
fault finding. With his worn

little better than nuisance.
