The most remarkable feature of the
western states, through the corn belt,
In winter, has been the interminable
stretch of unused stalks, standing in
the snow. and liable In the spring to
be in the way Of the plow. These
stalks do not easily rot, and there
fore remain In the why of future
efforts Of the agriculturist. They are
more than dead waste. they are n
hindrance. Millions of tons Of this
material have been burned, or other
wise lost to human welfare. The
great agricultural discovery Of the
closing years Of the century is the
fact that all this material can be util-
tied. every ounce of 1t. The shredding
machines slit 1t into fine fodder, which
the farmers report is not only well
rellshed by cattle, but is as good as
clover hay for horses and costly
mixed feeds for cattle. 1t Is not only
fed from the fields, but is preserved in
silos, and fed the whole year around.
1t Is as good food for sheep as for
cattle, and lowers the cost of fatten-
ing these animals nearly one half.
Shredded corn costs not above $2.75
per ton when stored. SO the farmer
has new feed at half the cost Of
hay, and almost unlimited In its sup
ply. 1t Is made of one of the wastes

can agriculture has a grand opening

Work of GOsslps.

Men in large cities either do not
marry ut all or wait until late In life.
This is the reason why people in small
towns MARI young. Two people COM
mence goi together. Within month
the gossips begin commenting on what
n nice couple they are, and predicting
that they will marry. Things drift
along this way until the gosslps be-
come impatient, and then they begin
abusing the man, and say that he Is
just foollng the girl and will cast her
aside. The girl hears this, tells her
lover, and suggests that they marry.
The man gets mad at the gossips and
marries the girl. Marriages are not
made in heaven. They are made by
the gossips In small town. Not one
man in ten wants to marry. The aver
age man is In love with his liberty, in
dependence and lack of responsibility.
so If the girls want to marry they may
consider the gossips their faithful al-
lles.-Early Qowa) News.

Mr.. Thomas Moran, the celebrated
American painter, speaking for the eX-
cellence of American art. declares that
when the rich American gets over his
desire for foreign paintings. the future
of American art Is assured; for when
worthy work is in demand at home
our art will develop itself to the re-
quirements. There is not line of en-
deavor in which we have not at home
better talent than is to be found in
any part of Europe. This is a fact
which will make itself felt sooner or
later, when the new-rlch will become

Professor Starr of the Chicago uni
versity says that people living on the
American continent will in the course
of ages be SO wrought upon by eli
matte and geographic influences that
they will revert to the aboriginal type
and become Indians. This is a pretty
theory; but it probably does not take
into account the fact that people of
this era are not compelled to eat eX-
clusively what they raise on their own
soil, and that their associations are
not circumscribed by crude facilities for
travel. Railways and steamboats, are
now bringing the various nationali-
ties into such close relationship that
the probability of universal and
highly developed type seems stronger
than that of retrogression in separate
localities.

said to be that he never looks

cute dyspepsia to such a degree

common laborer on his farm on
the Hudson, which he is said to
do, making a regular hand at all
