Harvesting Kaffir-Coru.

In the recent quarterly report of the
Kansas Department of Agriculture Is
a most excellent article on Kaffir corn,
prepared by J. G. Haney of the State
Agricultural College, upon request of
Secretary Coburn. Concerning the har-
Vesting of the crop he says: Kaff1r corn
remains green until frost and the seed
does not shatter; so, if grain is the only
consideration, there is no great hurry
to harvest; 1t can stand until after
trost and the stalk is dry. But gener-
ally the fodder is a consideration. as
well as the grain, and then the problem
Is to cut when the best results from
both may be obtained. The longer the
FODDER stands the harder and less pal
atable 1t becomes while If cut too early
the best yield of grain is not secured.
After the grain is hardened so that 1t
Is difficult to mash between the thumb
and finger, and there is little moisture
apparently in the seed, there will be
very little shrinkage in the grain. This
would perhaps be called 'just past the
hard dough stage" If cut earlier the
fodder will be better feed, but there
will be considerable shrinkage in the
grain.
One thing that has kept this crop
from being more generally raised is
the problem of harvesting. There are
a number of methods and they all
have their merits. If the fodder is de-
sired for feed it is perhaps best to cut
stalk and all and leave in the shock
until dry. The best machine for ac-
complishing this is the corn binder,
which leaves it in bundles of conven-
lent size for handling, and the fodder
is held together. The common method.
however, Is to cut with a mower, and
the crop should be left to cure well
before raking. Ordinarily 1t is put into
large shocks or small ricks containing
from ton to three tons each. This is
done with hay gatherer, "buck rake"
or ''go-devi1," and saves a great deal
of handling. 1t keeps in excellent con-
dition when treated this way and can
be hauled when needed. 1t is ready to
harvest in about 1o5 days after plant
ing, and this should be before frost, as
freezing while green Is detrimental;
besides, the hay will not cure as well
in cool weather, and it Is essential that
1t be as perfectly cured as possible.

Spring and summer are times of long,

There is wonderful amount Of en-

STRANGEST OF ALL FISH,
Denizen of the Deep that Angles 20
the Food It Devour.

DeniZen of the Deep that Angles FOR
the Food 1t Devour-.
Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless reality, and stern one to. all
that approach those awful jaws of his.
With body the color Of mud, he gen
orally lies in the shadow of some rock
on the bottom of the sea, waiting mo-
tionless for the approach of his prey.
He is provided with an odd kind of fin
just over the mouth, and this is held
out in front of him to give warning of
the coming Of something to be swal-
lowed. One taken alive was expert
mented on and it was found that If
this projecting fin was touched with a
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth, the jaws closed
convulsively. This shows that the fin,
by some provision of nature, closes the
jaws as soon as it is touched.
The mouth is tremendous, growing to
t. SHidth of a foot, while the whole
4. i is only three feet long. One of these
anglers was caught not long since and,
although it was only twenty-five inches
long, fish fifteen inches long was
found sticking in its throat. The ang-
Ter is provided with peculiar set of
teeth, in double or treble rows along
the jaws and at the entrance of the
throat. Some of these teeth are a foot
long. He is not pretty fish to look at,
but he attends strictly to business and
will swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether it be meant for
food or not. All kinds of things have
been found in the stomach of anglers,
from bits of lead and stone to fish al.
most as large as the angler itself. This
is without doubt one of the most De
culiar and interesting fish in the whole
ocean.

This Rov Was pIro,,.

AS Chester, Pa, few days ago. a
mad dog was terrorizing the neighbor-
hood. Men and boys watched the
brute's antics form a safe distance, but
a boy Is years old, named Peter Brown
took the occasion to stamp himself as
hero by capturing the animal in
bag. Here is what he modestly said of
the feat little while afterward:
You see,' said he, 'the dog was a
coming down splutterin' for all he
was worth, and 1 knowed something
would have to be DONE l was standing
near a grocery store where they was
unloading some potatoes, and thought
to myself here comes my opportunity.
It's an old trick, but only them what's
used to it kin do it.
i opened the bags mouth wide as I
could, just when the dog was comm
hardest. I expected every minute he'd
snatch me leg, but as luck would have
1t he didn't. He made right for the
bag, and when he got part way in
showed him further. and then gathered
it in at the end, and the dog was fast
Then the other fellers came and
wanted to help, but held on to the bag.
and the grocery man let me take if
away. 1 got some string and tied I'D
the end, and after got some twine T
hauled the animal down to the river
He was still a splutterin' and growing
fer all he was worth. Then got a big
stone and tied it to the bag and throwed
1t over. Then the jig was up."
Why Girls Cannot Throw.
A great deal of fun is poked at the
girls because they cannot throw a stone
or SNOWFALL .and hit the person or
thing they are aiming at. The general
idea as to why girls cannot throw as
well as boys is that they have not ac-
quired the knack by practice as their
brothers have. Another explanation is
given by medical man, which tends TO
show that girls could never learn the
knack, however much they tried.
When boy throws stone he crooks
his elbow and reaches back with his
forearm, and in the act of throwing
he works every joint from shoulder to
wrist. The girl throws with her whole

Notes from the Pigsery.

Salt and ashes aid digestion in swine.
A clean feeding place for swine is a
prime necessity.
Lice rarely infest hogs that have
plenty of sulphur.
Rusty old straw is one of the worst
materials for bedding swine.
Cholera in the herd travels swiftly
from one animal to another.
The healthy hogs stomach is as reg
ular as clockwork in demanding food.
When feeding for fattening always
watch for signs of indigestion. Obey
the first sign by reducing rations.
Cholera will be prevented if sulphur
be mixed with the salt and ashes. The
sulphur may be mixed with slop also.
When pig refuses to eat and thumps
and has his hair turned the wrong way,
trot him out and give him dose of az.
Make the dose big one.
Remember that stufing and cram
ming and jamming food into a pig to
fatten it In a short time is a wholly alb
normal, unnatural performance. We
must expect it to wreck some of the
forced animals.-Rural World.

their equality as American citizens or
