NICARAGUAN CANAL BILL.
Doubted Whether Anything Will Be Done
With 1t at Present.

7
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Representa-
tive Hepburn has secured additional
signatures to his petition for the cen
sideration of the Nicaraguan canal bill
The petition was not presented to the
committee on rules and members Of
that body expressed doubt whether any
thing would be done at present, as it is
desired to dispose of present business
before the house, including accumu-
lated appropriation bills, without out
lining any plans for the canal bill.

CIDER PRESS IN POSITION.

plank and vat at the base of a tree or
stump, using few blocks to raise it
from the ground one or two feet. Now
cut deep notch in the tree or stump
about 11A or 2 feet above the plank and
insert the heavy end of the pole. At
the other end of the pole set four pins
as shown.
The apples to be squeezed with the
press are thrown into the vat a few at
time, and heavy wooden stamper is
used to crush them. When the vat is
full of the broken-up apples, a wooden
cover, fitting inside of the vat, islaid on
top. A few blocks are placed on top of
this cover so as to allow the pole to
press down on the movable covering.
The pole is weighted down with heavy
stones or powders placed between the
four pins at the end remote from the
press. Cut several small, V-shaped
openings round the bottom of the vat,
or make system of channels, connect
ing with the large channel, to collect
the juice and permit it to follow the
course along the plank until it reaches
the vessel used to receive it.

SHREDDED CORN NOTES.

The topped corn fodder (stover)
contains IS 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.
Do you know that the corn fodder
or stover from one acre 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 that 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 tho
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 good machine
is more than three times as much as
the expense to the farmer of huslinR
his corn alone.-Prairie Farmer.

TAKING AN INVENTORY.
Some thing Every Farmer Should Do
After the Seasons Crops Have
Been Harvested.

All successful business men annual
~ invoice their stock; they are not
simply satisfied with q bank account
which shows that they are 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 all 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, oata
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 given number Of cows, sheep
or pigs. What are the yields per acre.
what the proftableness of certain

edge gained from the experiment

crop rotation done for the farm, what
has the flock of hens done towards
lessening the cash outlay for house.

paid, what has been the actual
amount paid in cash or rade for fam
lily expenses, what expenses have been
incurred for farm machinery and re.

made of manure, and like questions
should be answered as the seasons

When the merchant has completed

FARM CIDER PRESS.
Use OF Bushels of Apples That
Often Go to Waste.

On the farm where there is no cider
mill 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
four feetin LENGTH and as broad as avail
able, and a stout pole o., Is to 20 feet

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.
Keep Sweet and Wholesome
in the Now.

It has been amply demonstrated not
only by experiments, but by practical
teats 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 rs per cent. of moisture. On the
other hand, if it is put in damp it will
mold. The quality of shredded fodder
has q great deal to do with its value,
and especially it's commercial value.
WheIa shredded fodder is baled and
sold III hay if it is free from mold
it will bring as much as good timothy
hay, in most instances it sells from
IS to So ton. We look for a great
deal Of the bright shredded fodder to
be plasad 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 barn in bulk. 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 WE'LL
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 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 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

Ties OF All Sorts.

Crepe de chine and chiffon scarfs
with fringed ends are worn as "twice
around ties" They may be used with
out a separate stock by having a wired
collar of firm white net, unlined. This
supports the tie and prevents it from
wrinkling. Handsome fastenings are
used for these long scarfs in many
cases, and really good lace pins of the
old-fashioned kind have emerged tri-
umphantly from their long seclusion
in the jewel box. In simpler ties the
butterfly bow of tulle or mousseline,
edged with narrow lace or velvet rib
bon, is popular. The bat wing bow of
silk is also liked. There are, too,
stocks of tucked silk, the ends finished
with tassels, which are one of the
newest offerings in the department. of
fashionable neckwear. - Washington

Rotation for Western States.

We generally do all the fall plow-
ing we can for all kinds of grain. We
let oats 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 corn 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-
toes we put them in as early as the
ground is fit. For late potatoes we
plant from the 18th of May to the LIST
of june. c. Thompson, in Farm
ers' Review.

Stirring the Surface Soil.

It 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 prevents
weeds from growing. Moreover, it
helps to drive underground grubs
away, and generally does the crops
good. A hoe or small handfork is the
best tool for the purpose. It is not nee
essary to dig deeply; merely to loosen
the upper inch of mold.
