The Value of Corn Fodder.

The Implement Age says that il
one-haif the care was devoted to the
fodder that is given the ears, the
gain over the whole country would be
enormous. More stock, better food
the release OF other articles for the
market, and less labor, would assist
in giving profit on the farm, but
the great curse of the American farm
er is the shiftless manner in which
he treats his corn fodder, and yet
there are open to him the best and
most complete labor-saying imple-
ments for reducing his loss ever be-
fore offered. He can, by simply cut
ting his corn at the proper time, ef-
feet revolution in his whole farming
methods, and even place upon the
market, ready baled, nutritious and
palatable food which is unexcelled in
nutrition il in the proper condition
for use

THE FARMERS HORSE.
PA. Of keeDins Mares fer General
work aaa Raising Their Produce
L . Good One.

The kind Of horses a farmer keeps
should depend very much on the farm,
the farmer and his hired help. Assum-
ing that he will keep horses Of the
power best suited to his work. we may
ask. what Of the kind?
The general advice ID for the farmer
70 keep . few good mares to do his
work and raise colts. This IL undoubt-
sdly the best plan where he Is horse.
man enough to pick the right kind
OF mares, mate them properly and
raise their colts in such . way that
they will be worth good money when
they are old enough to sell. And like
wise when he can give some personal
attention to mares and young things
not having to trust everything to hired
help. In the central and western
states, where grain and hay are cheap,
and horses may be kept for . small
outlay, the plan of keeping mares for
farm work and raising their produce
Is a good one. It makes the horse pow.
er Of the farm cheap power, becaus.
it pays expenses as it goes along. The
grain put into good youngsters is sim.
ply invested for a longer period than
when put into hogs or sheep. There is
a large class of farmers of this kind,
who should produce draft horses.
And there Is small class who are fit
ted and fixed to keep high-class mares
and produce high-class road and car.
,riage horses.
But there Is another class of farm.
ers whose circumstances are such that
they cannot hope to breed horses
profitably. They have not the grain
to feed a crop of weanlings, yearlings
and two-year-olds. and often three
year-olds, which the man who raises
horses is likely to have around him.
They cannot better invest their money
and feed in something that they can
turn quicker. If they do not raise
much grain they need few horses. and
these need not be high-priced ones, \
pair Of geldings that cuN be bought for
$3.50 or 5000 vii! be the cheapest power
such farmers can have. They can do
the work, the investment is small, and
their keep Is not expensive. An addi
tional horse for driving and light
work will make a fair equipment foI
farm which does not raise much
grain, and which is better suited for
raising and grazing sheep and cattle
a pair of cheap western geldings has
proved very satisfactory on one farm
that l know, and others are running
successfully with an ordinary kind OF
horse power.
The question every man should ask
himself is: In what class do belong?
II he belongs in the producing class
or among those who can raise good
horses, so much the better. If he, be,
longs in the common class or even the
mule class he is only wasting time and
money trying to breed horses-Na
tional Stockman.

The effect of the July drought was
also felt by other cereals. The aver
age condition of spring wheat declined
Is points during the month; oats, 1O.1;
barley, "A, and rye, 81. Only buck
wheat appears to have stood up under
the protracted heat. This is perhaps
unjust to Secretary Wilson, remarks
the Chicago Record-Herald. He seems
to have partaken of the waters Of the
Mark Tapley spring and faces the fu-
ture with the reflection that final fig
ures cannot be given yet, and '1ate
corn will be benefited by favorable fall
weather, and early corn, growing un-
der the best conditions, will fill out
better with sufficient rainfall in the
near future" There is nothing like
taking a cheerful view of matters un-
der the most depressing circum-
stances, and that is why the American
people, being of a hopeful turn them
selves, enjoy the kindly optimism of
their Uncle Jim.

The long drought and intense heat
in the corn belt were broken July
25 by rains in some of the most i'm
portant states. The extent Of the
injury to the corn crop from the
protracted heat is variously estimat-
ed. There has been excited specu-
lation in the grain markets. Corn
for September delivery reached the
highest July quotation for ten years,
and shares of the so-called granger"
roads were depressed. For more
than 80 days in some parts of Kan
sas the thermometer did not go be-
low 80 degrees.

The recent lynching Of two Italians
by a mob in the town of Erwin, Miss,
has led to a demand by the Italian
government for the punishment of the
guilty persons. In several similar
cases the government of the United
States, after futile efforts to secure
;he punishment of the persons con-
:erned, has made pecuniary repara-
lion. In the present instance there
seems some prospect that the Orim-
mails will be brought to justice, and the
United States government has assured
the Italian government tha: it will
lake every legal means to that end.

Persons interested in wild flowers
are endeavoring to create-and to or
ganize--a sentiment for the protec-
ton of our native plants, especially
near large cities. The pond-lily, trail
ing arbutus, native orchids. fringed
gentian and many of the evergreens
have been gathered in Massachusetts
for sale in such quantities, and so
steadily sought by frequenters of SUBJ
urban woods that their extinction Is
threatened. The remedy suggested
is that care be used to cut rather
than pull the flowers, so that the
roots need not be disturbed; and that
those who gather rare plants for the
market should be discouraged by lack
Of patronage.

The farmers of Kansas figure tha.
what they lose through the drought
will be offset by the higher price they
will get for their grain, so that the real
sufferers from the drought will be the
consumers, many of whom live In Eu-
rope. This is the reason, according to
one farmer, why so many farmers took
40 interest in the prayers for rain.
They felt that they had nothing to
pray for.

In Colesburg, Ky, there is a horse
owned by j. X. Stoval, and it is no un-
usual thing for him to eat half
iozen spring chickens at meal. The
other day for dinner he consumed IA.
He runs after them, and as he catches
them devours them feathers and all.
The appetite on the part of the equine
has only recently developed, but it has
oeen sufficiently voracious to put Mr..
Stoval out of the poultry business in

IS due to an oversight of the proof

work of elevating railway tracks
above street crossings, now being
pushed in half dozen cities of the
middle west, is due to different
oversight, that of reform" mayors
and aldermen, who believe that pc

A remarkable battle between a boy
and a swan is reported from Minne-
apolis. Harry Carson, four-yesr-old
boy, was playing with the swans in
the lake at Loring park, teasing them
with stick. Suddenly the largest
of the birds ruffied its feathers, and,
mad with rage, seized the child in it's
strong beak. The boy struggled for
an instant, but strong as he was for
his age, the huge bird splashed its
wings into the water, throwing up a
sure strokes dragged the boy out into
the water toward the center of the
lake. The youngster was too fright
ened to make further outcry, and for
a moment the onlookers were par
alyzed at what seemed to be an inn
pending tragedy. Then one of the
men went to the rescue. The swan
had by this time become thoroughly
enraged, and was evidently attempt
ing to drown the child. Twice the
little boy was forced under water by
the bird, and before the rescuer had
reached the pair they were 20 feet
out from shore. Even then the mad
dened bird struggled with the man,
reluctant to give up its prey, and a
blow was necessary to make it re-
lease the child, who was all but
drowned.
