Arson Phelps Stokes, the wealthiest
clergyman In America and probably in
the world, has accepted Gull rendered
him by st. Paul's Episcopal Church in
New Haven, Conn. Rev. Mr.. Stokes is
a millionaire. His father was an enor-
mously wealthy banker and his grand
fathers were James Stokes and Isaac
Newton Phelps. He owns a magnifi-
cent mansion in Fifth avenue, New
York, and immortal country house in
Lenox; but these, with all their mean,
have been given up by their owner in
order that he may be near the poor
and fill the function that his conscience
tells him he is called upon to fill.
Ever since he was graduated from
Yale five years ago he has set his heart
on becoming a minister. After his col
lege days Mr.. Stokes went abroad for a
years observation and travel. After

Fodder Crops.

At the experiment station at Still
water, Okla, they tested several differ
ent fodder crops to find the yield per
acre, and in the winter ascertained the
dry matter and the amount digestible
in each one. They found the digestible
dry matter in corn per acre was 5,6O6
pounds, Kaftir corn GIG pounds, black
rice corn 7,O1S pounds, Milo maize 1O,-
DIG pounds, small sorghum 11,102
pounds, large sorghum 1850 pounds.
The sorghum and Milo maize gave high
err yields than the corn and Kattir, but
they We're very low in protein or
growth-making material, and therefore
not so valuable for feeding, especially
for growing animals.

paratus. The four rubber cups are

apparatus. The four rubber cups are
attached to the teats of the COW, and
the air is exhausted from the interior
of the can. This produces vacuum
and causes the rubber cups to take hold
on the teats. The interior arrangement
of the cup expands the teat and does
not shut off the flow of milk. AS the
vacuum increases inside the can it
starts the flow of milk, and steady
stream is maintained from each teat
until the supply is exhausted. An in
dicating gauge is attached to the cover
to show the amount of air exhausted
from the can. w. R. Thatcher and N.
w. Hussey, Of Oskaloosa, Iowa, are the
inventors of this machine.

Do Fowls Neell Exercise,

As fowls are ordinarily fed exercise
is positively necessary to enable them
to digest the food they take. ANration
of grain in large part and other things
in small part means that the fowls
will have to develop muscle and energy
to do the work of grinding. But it is
possible to so feed the fowls that exer-
else will not be of any value. This is
shown by the French method of fatten-
ing fowls. They are shut up in cage
and fed on soft mash several times a
day. They are given no room at all for
exercise, yet keep perfectly healthy and
develop meat and fat at a great rate.

The well on the grounds of the Good

Wis, has been bored to the depth of
1880 feet, one of the deepest wells in
the world. The contractor has con-
cluded that lie cannot obtain flowing

purposes, and is In such abundance as

There is deal of horse energy ex-
hausted in fighting flies.
Fresh, clean bedding is as welcome
to the tired horse as to the tired, OF

Water horses often as possible; lit
tie at time is better than deluge at
long intervals.
Better shady outdoor feeding and
resting place at noon time than q filthy,
hot, fiy-infested stable.
Sunlight and fresh air in the stable
constitute fine Insurance policy
against sickness and death.
1t is asking deal of farmer to do
much currying of horses In the summer
season, yet the more of it done the bet
ter for the horse.
Work the horses easily for the first
hour or so after eating. They can do
their hardest work easiest after the last
meal is partly digested.
1t is doubtful if any one little detail
of farming pays better than keeping
horse stables clean and sweet during
the summer. And if kept fyless there
is good profit In them.
Give n little water before feeding,
even il horse Is warm; then give hay,
and last good, clean oats; and give a
good long incoming Both man and beast
will do more and better work for it.
For sweet charity's sake, do not in

Thinning Potato Plants.

An experiment well worth trying is to
thin out the plants in each hill of pota-
toes-with view of reducing the guam
tity of small potatoes-to one stalk in
each hill. This must be done before
the tubers are formed. The rows
Should be at least three feet apart and
the plants twenty inches apart in the
row. While results from this practice
have been really wonderful, it is ad-
vised that each person try it on small
plot before going into 1t extensively.
Not only were all of the tubers of good,
marketable size by this plan, but the
yield was wholly satisfactory.
