HANDLING CORN FODDER.
1llinoi. Farmer Describes In nsfail
the Method Pursued by Him u
for Two Years. T E**%

1t may interest many readers to
know how 7 handled my fodder. Ihave
small cutting box; arranged with
pulley for power attachment. I took
two teams, using four wagons, two for
hauling the fodder and two for receive
ing the cut stover. The corn had been
husked by hand, except some which I
had left for rich feed. I hauled the fod-
der to where had stationary engine
for shelling corn. I can cut six fair
sized shocks-one wagon load-in 80
minutes and put the contents into the
large wagon and haul to the stable
loft or to a Slated corn crib. Around
the latter I built shed and manger,
removed a slat or two, and let the cat
tie eat to their hearts content without
waste or further labor. did this work
at times in the early winter, generally
when the engine was fired up, as we op-
Grated a grain station on the farm, US
ing such help as was at hand. The
small cutter used was constructed with
series of small knives adjusted in
spiral shape, around shaft in such
way as to partially cut off stalk, then
split it, another cut, another split and
so on, leaving the mass in short, sliv-
cred, soft and pliable condition. This
can be stored in compact form. can
be handled in a basket or with a close
tined FORKS. it is not easily thrown out
of the manger; a greater proportion is
eaten, practically all, if not too freely
fed, and the refuse makes the finest
bedding or absorbent extant. I have
seen at work, but never used it, some
what larger cutter that snaps off, near
ly clean of shucks, the ears of corn
which drop below as the stalk passes
through the knives. Iconsider this the
ideal machine for the average farmer
who can arrange some kind of power at
his barn and handle his fodder from the
shock as it suits his convenience. I do
not think bulking dry fodder any dis
advantage, as some do, and would cut it
up as soon as possible. Two years ago
I had only a little fodder, but as did
not have much stock thought could
feed it out carefully without cutting it
up. It was all gone before Christma
Last year, situated as before, I hired
a power to attach to the cutter at the
barn, and the feed lasted me until
some time in February. It pays to pre-
pare the fodder right.-J. G. Wright, in

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The existing system Of electing
United States senators is constant
" growing less satisfactory. AT
the present time four states
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Utah and
Califoraia-are deprived Of half
of their representation in the
senate because of failure of legis-
latures to elect senator's. The
spectacles presented to the nation
by Pennsylvania and Montana are
anything but edifying. If Quay
shall be seated and the precedent
established that governors may
appoint where legislatures fail to
elect, the situation may be expect
ed to grow even worse. In that
event says the Chicago Record,
politicians in touch with the gov
ernor doubtless will deliberately
plan deadlocks in order to secure
the appointment of political favor
ties, Who like Quay, may be very
obnoxious to the people. There
is very general agreement that
the election of senator's by popular
vote would be productive of much
better results in every respect.
Not only would better men he
sent to Washington, but the legis-
latiye bodies would be improved
through the removal of Influences
that are demorallzing to them.
In order to bring about the cleo
ton Of senators by popular vote,
the general constitution must be
amended, a thing very difficult to
accomplish. The house commit
tees on elections has recommended
the adoption of a resolution leav-
ing it discretionary with the legis
latures to continue the present
system or 10 adopt the plan Of
choice by the people. It. is ex-
pected that the house will act
favorably on this resolution, but
the senate is likely to be hostile.
Perhaps il the general desire for
reform in this respect we're made
known to the senator's with more
persistence they might be in
duced to permit this resolution to
go to the states for;adoption.
