Corn Stalks Valuable as Feed.

Mr.. T. J. Davis. Of Charlotte, tray
cling inspector OF machinery for the
cotton seed oil mills along the Atlantic
Coast Line, who has been in the city
a few days inspecting the machinery
of the Wilmington cotton seed oil mills,
left the city yesterday.
Mr.. Davis is a practical farmer and
has a model farm in Mecklenburg
county, near Charlotte. He tells us
that he has made a practical demon
tration of the use Of cornstalks as
feed for horses and cattle. and he is
pleased with it The stalks are cut
down and chopped into small pieces by
a machine, and the pices when steam
ed and mixed with corn and cotton
seed meal, makes an excellent feed for
horses and cattle.
Mr.. Davis carries with him a little
bale OF cornstalkS as thus prepared
and it is fragrant and quite palatable
to animals.
Cornstalks have heretofore been a
waste product on farms, but it seems
that this utilitarian age will not allow
anything to go to waste now.

A Filipino Y

Captain T.. H. Johnson, clerk Of
Front Street market, is the possessor
of an interesting souvenir of the war in
the Philippines. 1t is a razor taken
from the body of a Filipino who was
killed in battle by the American
troops. The razor was taken from the
Filipino's body nor than a year ago
by Mr.. Thomas M. Webb. of this city,
who is serving with our army in the
Philippines. The handle of the razor is
of rough wood and the plade is short
and wide. The metal is excellent but
the instrument is crudely made. The
Rev. F. M. Royal, the returned mis-
Sionary says the Fflipino'S razor is the
same as those used by the Chinese,
and it is similar to a Chinese razor
sent to Mr.. w. H. Chadbvurn by DIR.
