Washington, Sept. 1.-The office o.
the second assistant postmaster gem
eral is preparing the usual annual ad-
-vertisement, which will be issued
about September Is next, for the car
rage of mails on star routes. This
advertisement will be of unusual i'm.
~pOrtance, as it is designed to check

bidding, must agree to live on or con.

This general letting will occur il

1t recently has come to the notice
of the department that certain spec

a number of routes by inducing some
local attorney or other person il
each of the counties to allow the use
of his name as a bidder for a consid-

SHREDDED CORN NOTES.

The topped corn fodder (stover)
contains 55 per cent. of digestible
matter.
Do you know that corn fodder when
fed alone will very nearly maintain
cattle?
Convert all of your corn stalks into
nice, palatable fodder, every particle
of which cattle will eat and grow fat
on.
or tower from n ere yields as
much digestible matter as two tons
of timothy hay?
By using the best machines. the
largest and heaviest corn stalks grown
can be put through equally well as
the small stalks
Cure and store shredded corn fod-
der in the same way hat you would
hay, and you will have little trouble
in its heating.
You can shred your corn fodder as
cheap as you can husk corn, to say
nothing about the great value of the
shredded product.
The corn fodder shredder is the
greatest feed saving machine ever in
vented. No other machine enables
farmers to save 40 per cent. of any
crop.
The value of an acre of shredded
fodder put through a good machine
is more than three times as much as
the expense to the farmer of husking
bis corn alone.-Prairie Farmer.

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.
II Well Dried When Put In 1t VIII
Keep Sweet and Wholesome
In the Now.

1t has been amply demonstrated not
only by experiments, but by practical
tests made by feeders, hat shredded
corr 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 a 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
it will bring as much as good timothy
hay, in most instances it sells from
SIS to $S a 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 ricked outside with a
roof over it, but that it will heat if
it is put in the earn in hulk. Another
feeder says that if the fodder is dry
when shredded it will not mold if
put into the barn in great bulk. An
Illinois feeder says that he has
stacked it outside and it kept well,
but hat it was packed so solid that
water could not u into it. All of
these feeders prefer to have it under
roof and especially in barns where it
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 a very
important point and should be re-
membered by every one who has his
fodder shredded this year. Be SUR
that the stalks are right before they
are put into the shredder.-Prairie
Farmer.

TAKING AN
Something Evsry Farmer Should D0
After the Crops Have
BeeA Harvested.

All successful business men annual
~ invoice their stock; they are not
simply satisfied with a bank account
which shows that they r growing in
financial strength; but the stock on
hand is gone over that just what is on
hand may be known and also what is
its present value, whether it has adj
vanced or deprecated, whether GER
tain classes of stock are ready or slow
sale and ali like considerations that
the yearly inventory reveals to the
thorough going business man.
The farmer usually knows how
many head of horses, cattle, sheep and
pigs are on the farm and can closely
estimate the bushels of wheat, oats
or corn and the quantity of timothy,
but these are not the most valuable
facts that an invoice on the farm
should disclose. But rather, how
many acres have been required to
sustain a given number of cows, sheep
or pigs. What are the yields per acre,
what the proftableness of certain
kinds of grain, what the farm knowl-
edge gained from the experiment
patch, what has a well systematized
crop rotation done for the farm, what
has the flock of hens done towards
lessening the cash outlay for house
hold expenses. what has the garden
paid, what has been the actual
amount paid in cash or rade for fam
lily expenses, what expenses have beer
incurred for farm machinery and re
pairs, are there unnecessary fences on
the farm, what disposition has been
made of manure, and like questions
should be answered as the seasons
harvest reveals the contents of store
house and barn.
When the merchant has completed
his inventory he Immediately prepares
for the new stock and its sale, though
he may give the impression of doing
little; if he is to enlarge his business
he is at work; SO the farmer known
by his thrift and fine farm is now,
when. harvesting his crop, planning
by the light of his own experiences
and by gaining knowledge from those
of other farmers preparing for the
crops of another season. The history
of excessive yield always reveals that
the soil was studied, the seed careful.

Use of Bushels of Apples That
Often Go to Waste.

On the farm where there is no cider
mill a large number of good apples are
wasted every year. These might be
converted into cider. The accompany
ing illustration is of an easily made
press for the purpose of utilizing those
apples. Simply procure a plank about
fourfeetinl length, and as broad as avail
able. and a o. pole (b), IS to 20 feet
long. Make a frame, or vat. to hold the

Rotation for western States.

We generally do all the fall. plow,
ing we can for all kinds of grain. We
let pats follow corn in the rotation
after which we seed with clover and
timothy and let them stand for two
years. Then we turn under the sod
and plant with corr and rye. Our fall
grains we sow the last of August or
the first part of September. We gen.
orally get the best results from early
sowing. When we grow early pota-

ground is fit. For late potatoes wa

FOR MALARIA,

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what.it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called sTaste-
less chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

Inviting ways to Serve Peaches.

Peaches served in the natural state
for breakfast are doubly attractive
when laid on a bed of freshly-cut and
washed peach, cherry or other similar
leaves, or served in a deep bowl or
basket garnished with leaves and twigs.
Carefully remove the down with soft
wooden cloth. Ripe, juicy peaches are
far more dainty served in halves than
either quartered or sliced. Make a
simple sirup of graduated sugar, flavor
with vanilla or almond extract and
stand in refrigerator; pare and halve
the fruit one hour before needed: stand
in shallow serving dish cut side upward,
fill cavities with strip, return to ice
box and serve with plain sweetened
cream.

stirring the Surface Soil.

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 prevents
weeds from growing. Moreover, it
helps to drive underground grubs
away, and generally does the crops
good. A hoe or small handbook is the
best tool for the purpose. 1t is not nee
