him with influence in the republican

up of an influence which would event

Corn fodder is no less valuable than

Corn fodder is no less valuable than
it has been in any year in the past.
Many farmers may be lulled into the
belief that it is not needed, who may
have occasion to regret their neglect to
cut up lot of it. There are SO many
ways it can be saved. The binder is the
best solution of the business, if there is
enough of it to justify the expenditure
of buying corn binder. A good man
and corn knife will put up great
deal of it in day if he can be obtained.
Corn fodder may be the means of pre-
venting sacrifice of the live stock. If
it does not do this it may mean that
some hay can be sold at very profit

When Father Rode The Goat.

/
The house is fun of arnca
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike note;
The Doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge week ago
Got in at u. m,
And sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says he brought them.
| HIS wrist was sprained. and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively time
When father rode the goat
Hes resting on the couch today
And practic!ng his signs
The hailtng signal, working grip.
And other monkeyshines
He mutters passwords meath his breath.
And other thing he'll quote
They surely had an evenings work
When father rode the goat.
He has gorgeous uniform.
All gold and red and blue,
\ hat with pinmes and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But, somehow, when we mention 1t,
He wears a look so grim
We wonder If he rode the goat
Or II the goat rode him.

Fodder Instead of Hav

The corn shredder more than any
modern machine has done more to
bring the farmer to realize the fact that
he has been wasting an immense
amount of feed says the Prairie Farmer.
When the hay crop is short the farmer
with a long crop of corn can cut it up
with a harvester and shred it at the
right tlme,and the shredded feed makes
very good substitute for hay, and, in
fact, many farmers and stock raisers
are now selling their hay crop and are
using corn fodder or straw in its place.

Demand for Horses.

The excessive drain upon the supply
of horses for military purposes in the
last few years has practically depleted
this country's number of good horses,
and there exists to day an actual short
age which cannot be made good for
years. The demand has been chiefly
for heavy horses, those suitable for cav
airy and for dragging heavy provision
trains.
