garden for the chickens. What shall
we plant? We must have lettuce, Of
course. One can cut surprising
amount of feed from few feet square
of lettuce; then there is giant south
ern mustard. A few rows OF. that, and
you have a green food greatly relished
aud in quantity for numerous flock.
Winter onions are egg producers. Per.
haps we can find corner for hemp and
sunfowers. Then we must have some
vegetables for winter. Cabbage and
artichokes come first. Watch the
biddies eat raw artichokes if you be-
lieve they don't like them, and see the
chicks devour them. Then we may
raise some carrots to cook and mix
with bran for biddie's winter breakfast
to make her lay. We can cook them
and mix with corn meal to fatten the
poultry quickly for market. Probably
no vegetable we raise gives less trouble
or is more certain to yield we'll than
sugar beets. Then the ,beets keep
well, which is more than we can say
for carrots in this locality. We put
the beets through tbs bone cutter and
feed raw. 4
The hens greatly relish the raw
vegetables and the ducks must have
them if You wish eggs in January.
The mustard will stay green long after
frosts, and when it is gone begin on
the beets. The mustard will not ap-
pear the second year nor in any way
resemble the old fashioned sort. A
great many spaces where the yeget-
ables have been taken off may be sown
to the mustard for fall feeding.-Hat-

Garden For Poultry.

The poulterer on the farm possesses
every advantage over the man con-
fined to ono Or two city lots. While,
in our experience, free range of the
farm is not the best way TO raise fine
poultry, yet we duly appreciate the
foods we may raise and feed fresh
from the garden to our poultry. In
our experience the fowls at large do
not confne themselves to picking up
the waste, but rather choose to take
their rations from horse maacers and
pig troughs. They fatten on corn and
perhaps the men complain with justice
''that the hens eat their heads off"
We find it better to have yards OF

Patriotic Prussian Pigs.

A correspondent of the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung atEidelstedt,i in Schles-
wig Holstein, gravely announces that
such is the patriotism OF Prussian pigs
that they refuse to eat American bar
ley. The latter does not differ in odor
or aspect from the homegrown article
which the pigs deyour with avidity.
The Tages Zeitung, inspired probably
by the action of the discriminating
swine, asks: "How long will it be be-

to barley will be prohibited from i'm

their suspicious character?"-Corres.

eecATIoN FOR MODERN BUSINESS.
Address by President Hadley, Of Yale
University.


President Arthur t. Hadley, OF
Yale Univel sity, recently responded
to the toast, Education for Modern
Business Responsibilities" He said
in part: 'The two previous speakers
have told you better than I can do
your greatness and the greatness OF
your responsibilities. 1t is for me to
suggest how in the future men may
lie tried who shall fill worthily the
places that you now occupy. 1t is
one of the interesting things to any
one who looks at the catalogues of the
colleges OF the country to see how
they are becoming each year, more
and more, the educators of business
men. A generation ago the great ma
iority of college graduates went into
professions. To-day large part OF
them go into commercial life. There
are two reasons for this. In the first
place, a great many Of the men who
go to college to-day without having
any other idea than of making the
most of their life find that the busi-
ness opportunity and business re-
aponsibilities of the present genera
ton are so large that there is no OBJ
ject of their ambition SO worthy as
business success. And, on the other
hand, a great many men, who intend
from the first to so into business, find
the responsibilities of business
so difficult, the yastness OF
it's problems so great that they
prefer to take many years
instead Of few in preparing themselves
for these responsibilities. The COM
bination of these two things has
brought our colleges into closer con-
nection with the world Of commerce at
present than they ever were in the
past. And now the question comes up
how shall they fulfill, how shall the
colleges fulfill the new duties which
are laid upon them by the necessity
of preparation for this wide worth?
Now, to begin with, it is very easy to
say what they shall not do. They can
not do their work by undertaking to
instruct the boys in the details of what
they will find it necessary to do in the
Office. If they learn these details
from books they would have to learn
them over again, to unlearn all they
had learned and learn them better
from the experience of practical life.
THAT education is best and high.
est which most fully brings home to
the boy by illustrations of history, by
of literature, by the teach
ings of the everyday life OF the pres
ent time, that none OF us liyeth for
himself; that possession means power,
and that power means duty. Jap
plause.)
"Whatever form the education of the
next generation may take-and therc
are many unsettled questions before
the work of our colleges-of this one
thing we may be sure: They will md
they must educate men to take your
places who will have from the begin
ming the conception to which you have
in your business life of busi-
ness success as trust, OF power and
influence in the country as duty to
the country and to God" Jap
plause.)

! FARM AND GARDEN.
S.sCNEEsEEEN~N
Right Place for the Orchard

At recent farmers meeting sue
cessful fruit raiser claimed that the
ideal place for an orchard was on the
t,p of a hill.
The advantage of the hill over a
plain was that the trees were more
open to the light and air, which gave
better color and flavor to the fruit,
aud gave the land O better natural
drainage and freedom from frosts.

Sour Milk Best.


Professor w. ". Cooke finds that
pigs do better on slightly soured milk,
containing only Tactic acid, than they
do on sweet milk. He says the prob
able reason is found in the fact that
when the milk sours the milk sugar is
broken up in the Tactic acid, but
this change takes place without any
loss OF solid matter. One particle OF
milk sugar merely absorbs some
water and splits up in. two parts OF
Tactic acid. Recent experiments IN
Germany seem to show conclusively
that Tactic acid, in common with sew
eral other vegetable acids, is digestive
and has real feeding value. There
fore the Tactic acid being IN the same
quantity as the milk sugar, it is fair
10 presume that its feeding value
would not be much reduced.
Ii milk is allowed to stand for many
DAYS this lactlc acid breaks up into
butyric acid and carbonic gas, the
latter passing off and becoming GER
tainly dead loss. 1t could not be
said from our experiments that skim
milk could be kept indefinitely and
still not lose its feeding value, but 1t
seems probable that there is no loss III
feeding value in the first change OF
souring and lobbering.
AS to why the sour skIm-milk
should have done better than the
sweet skim milk we cannot tell, un-
less the answer is found in the greater
relish with which it was eaten, or un-
less it is a fact that the acid during
the hot weather helps by keeping the
digestion of the pigs in little better
condition. New York Weekly Wit

Grain Heating in Bins.

Tn all the eastern portion of this
country there is usually rain enough
to prevent grain from being thorough
II dried out before it is gathered into
barn or stack. Owing to the general
desire to thresh early, much of this
grain is damp when threshed. If put
into large bins it will heat and become
mouldy. 1t is best to defer all large
jobs of threshing until the grain in
the straw has gone through the sweat
ing process, which is really heating,
the warmth causing the moisture to
come ont of the grain, straw and
weeds. This is the fastest way to dry
grain. But if the threshing has been
done, sharp lookout should be kept
on the grain in the bin. Thrusting q
long pole to near the bottom of the
grain pile, the temperature may be
easily determined. If it feels warm
TO the hand, it is above 100 degrees.
The grain is in danger and should be
taken cut of the bin as quickly as pos
sible. When it is put back have some
thoroughly dried brick and put them
IN occasionally as the grain is thrown
in. A dried brick will absorb more
than its weight in water. If any one
doubts it, let him try to fill brici, SO
that water will stand on the surface.
The wettest grain may be safely put
in bins, if this precaution is used.
There is nothing in the brick to fer
ment, and the water in the grain is
absorbed until the grain is dried. In
winter all grain dies out by freezing.
