STRAW ON THE FARM.
Wastes 1t Does Not Understand
His Business.

One of the greatest wastes about
the average farm, especially in the
great grain districts of the west. is
in the straw. Where headers are used
and the straw left to turn under with
the blowing, some of the substance
taken from the soil by the growing
grain is returned to it, but this is a
waste as there is not got out of the
straw the best there is in it. This
method, however, is far better than
another which, strange to say, is
quite general. This is piling the straw
in some slough or out OF the way
nook and leaving it to rot down and
be carried away by the elements.
Probably the most value straw pos
sesses is as roughness in feeding
cattle. If properly put up and fed,
oat, wheat and fax straw is valu-
able addition to the rations of cattle
of all kinds. The reason cattle usual
ly refuse to touch straw is because it
is spoiled or musty. AS much care
should be taken in stacking straw as
in stacking hay. Usually the stack
ing is done with view of getting the
straw out of the way of the machine
rather than with any thought as to
its turning the rain. The stack is
nothing more than huge pile of
straw thrown together by three or
four boys hired to take the dirtiest
and most disagreeable job around the
threshing machine. The sides and
top of such pile will become soaked
with the first rains and before the
winter is well on will be unfit for feed.
There are other uses than feeding
that straw can be put to with profit.
It makes the best kind of mulching
for strawberry beds, potato fields,
ETC., adding richness to the soil and
preventing the growth of weeds. In
putting up hay sheds and windbreaks
it is the best of material to use, as it
packs closely, keeping out wind and
turning rain. Even when rotted in
the stack, hauled out and scattered
over the fields it still possesses value
as a fertilizer. Do not let the straw
go to waste.-Prairie Farmer.

HOW TO BOIL WHEELS.

respond to the shape of a wheel,
shown in cut. Set it IN an improvised
fireplace and pour in the oil. When
it is hot put in the wheel and turn
slowly, holding in position by means
of stick thrust through the hub. A
frame can be put up easily, or
crotches set, to hold this stick. In
this way two men can do the work
quickly and WE'LL. L. Irwin, in Ohio

The voices from sorrows Depths.

1t is only where there is obstruction
that the waters become deep and re-
fecting. Shallow brooks run noisily
by. Great streams, where their course
is made easy, pause not to collect depth
and silence. A life may flow gently to
it's close, but it never becomes great be-
cause of it's ease. Obstacles, Difficult
ties, sorrows, discouragements dam up
the souls precious waters, and from
the stiffness of it's deeps the voice of an
Emerson, a Carlyle, Shakespeare
speaks to us.-September Success.

why can't some steps be taken to

There is nothing that would do
more to help the county along than
an improvement of this kind. Let

AIcI6inIey,s Change OF Front.

New YORK News.
Why should the country stand
aghast because President MoKin-
ley has stultified himself in the
matter of the Porto Rican tariff ?
1t is true that he said in December:
"Our plain duty is to abolish all
customs tariffs between the United
States and Porto Rico and give her
products free access to our mar
kets." And it is also true that at
the dictation of two monster trusts
he has reversed his views and now
insists that the Porto Rioans pay
an import tax on all their goods
brought into this country.
But again we ask, Why should
the people be surprised? Mr.. Mo-
Kinley is to-day quite as rampant
for the single standard as any gold
bug in the country. And yet dur
ing Cleveland's last term, il a
speech delivered to his Ohio friends.
he roundly abused the then Presi-
dent for trying to "strike down one
of the moneys of the country"
thus making the dollar dearer and
the man cheaper. He has never
had anything but chocolate eolair
backbone, as Thomas B. Reed said.
There is not man in the United
States, not even himself, who knows
what position he will take on any
public question three months
hence.
