stackine Fodder Out-of-Doors.

Stacking Fodder Out-0t.D00FD.
An Iowa correspondent wants to
know whether we would advise stack
ing corn fodder out-of-doors. We GER
tainly do not advise such practice, if
the idea is to stack the fodder in the
same way that hay is usually stacked
in the western states; that's, by build
ing it up in ricks and leaving it exposed
to the fall and winter storms. If fod.
der is cut when in proper condition,
and left in the shocks until it is thor
oughly cured, it can then be stacked I'M.
der cover to very good advantage; but
a far better practice would be to get 3
good shredder and run the fodder
through it, and then you will have as
nice feeding product as you would care
to handle; besides in this way you save
the expense of husking the corn ny

ABUNDANCE OF FORAGE.
orchard Grass Yields 1t Year ATTIC
Year and Requires Hardly Any
Attention.

Can anyone tell why orchard grass,
one OF the most common as well as
one OF the most valuable forage plants
In the United States, is not better
known and more appreciated? Many
q farmer does not even recognize it t
sight, though he has had chance to OBJ
serve it all his life. A veritable gypsy,
It has found a home in every country Of
Europe and America, in northern
Africa and in Asia. Cheerfully adapt
ing itself to all soils and conditions,
1t f1ourishes in wet or dry weather,
sun or shade, and in porous subsoil
will send its roots to great depth.
This perhaps accounts for it's per-
slstence. When once it has secured
foothold it may be relied upon to
yield an abundance Of forage year aft
er year with no attention except that
it thrives best under csopping. In the
spring it is fit for pasturage consider
ably earlier than other grasses, and
five days growth will give good bite.
Its blossoming season is the same as
that of red clover, and they are fire.
quently sown together by farmers
who have learned the value of the COM
bination. A Kentucky stock grower
who relies upon it for his pastures
once said relative to its capacity for
sustaining itself when other grasses
are dried up: ''It will make more
growth in one summer day than blue
grass will make in a week." Such a
commentator from the land of the
famous blue grass pastures is surely
great tribute to it's good qualities.
A farmer in northern Ohio has writ
ten enthusiastically of a piece of orch
ard grass on his own farm which seed
ed itself 26 years ago and which has
been cut annually every June since.
This season it stood higher than any
rye in the vicinity and was so heavy
that it lodged. For early soiling and
long pasturage he considers it supe-
rior to any other grass, but he utters
q caution about cutting it as soon as
matured, for if allowed to get dead
ripe it is of little account.
Like other drought resisting grasses
it shows disposition to grow in tus-
socks, but this may be prevented by
thorough preparation of the ground
before sowing and an abundance OF
seed uniformly distributed. Two
bushels of seed to the acre are usually
considered sufficient, or half that
amount when sown with clover. It
is said to be much less exhausting to
the soil than timothy, which is so often
grown with clover. It was Introduced
into England from Virginia in 1894,
and is there SO highly esteemed that it
has taken rank as one of the most
valuable forage plants produced in
the tight little island" The lux
uriance of its aftermath makes it es-
pecially fine for pastures, and stock of
ell kinds relish it. Sheep, it is said,
will leave all other grasses to feed
upon it.-Farmer's Review.

SIGNALS OF THE STREETS.
Nearly Every Bell in the City Thor
oughfnres Now Means "Jump
for Your Life!"

In the steady volume of the noises
of the street the bell has become the
insistent characteristic-the jingling
bell, the tinkling bell, the sweet bel!
tangled out of tune-above all, the
peremptory clang of the warning
gong. 1t is not SO very long ago that
the bells of the street were few and
readily understood. There was the
gypsy chime of cowbells swinging on
a leather belt supported by uprights
on pushcart. Its not inharmo-
NOUS jangle meant old rags as Ger.
tainly as the blast of the horn meant
Friday fish. The clangor of the
brazen handbell, the large dinner bell,
pealed in sort of march tempo, was
. sure indication Of the passage of
the scissors grinder, with his wheel
upon his back and the bell in hand,
looking for the chance to renew the
edges of domestic cutlery.
Every horse on every street car
wore a bell at his collar, and the
rhythmic jingle was no unpleasant
accompaniment to the finty beat OF
iron-shod hoofs in measured inter.
walls upon the cobbles, says the New
York Tribune.
Now the bells have only one mes.
sage, and a stern one: 'Get out OF
the way!"-a message such as may
be read where country turnpikes cross
the track under the warning gibbet
with it's inscription: ''Look out fol-
the locomotive when the bell rings
The stroke of every bell upon the
streets in this high speeding age
means "Jump for your life!" With
clang and clatter the electric cal
whizzes past, and before the warn
ing has ceased to ring in the ears will
be block away.
Still more peremptory are the am
balances, whose rubber tires bring
them, scarcely heard, right down
upon the wayfarer before their gong
goes off with the rattle of all the
watchmen of antiquity rolled into
one. Still more stealthy in its ap
proach is the bicycle, with the weak
er demand of its continuous perform
ance bell for the right of way; but
foot travel has become habituated to
the wheel, and is disposed to insist
upon some such rule as secures the
right of way at sea to the windjam
mer over the steamer.
The latest bell to come upon the
streets is that which marks the com
ing of the automobile. Some Of these
deadly machines have adopted the
shrill pipe of the whistle Of steam
or compressed aiy, but others have q
distinctive chime of two notes, like
some church clock striking the half
hour. For no worse sin than ring
ing the bells of his parish church
John Bunyan saw the red-hot gates
of hell yawning open for him. Just
think what a doomsealer he would
be were he to listen to the bells Of
the street.

EDUCATION IN GERMANY.
mote the General Intelligence
Of the Country.

Although illiteracy is almost I'M
known in Germany, legislators. are
constantly busy designing means for
promoting the intelligence OF the
masses. Uniformity in the elemen.
tary schools is the purpose of an act
recently gone into effect, says IN
educational authority. The law de-
crees that child must attend school
from six until "A years of age. Elk.
ceptions may be made, but blind and
deaf and dumb children are subject
to this rule wherever special arrange
ments have been made for their in.
struction. Children attending other
public schools or receiving instruc'
ton from private teachers, CORE
spending, at least, to that of the
public schools, are not obliged to at
tend the latter. Children who con.
tinually neglect school without suf-
ficient excuse can be compelled to at
tend. Parents or guardians who neg
lect to keep their children at school
will be subject to fines or imprison-
ment varying from three hours to
two days. Instead of Imprisonment
work for the community may be i'm
posed.
Employers who keep children from
school will be fined not less than
$50 marks. Parents and guardians
are obliged to provide material for
needlework and other means of in
struction for girls. Otherwise the
school board has the right to obtain
these things by compulsion. Accord
ing to the district physician act OF
April all public and private schools
are, in hygienic matters, under the
control of an official physician, who
must, at certain intervals, winter and
summer, visit every school in his dis
trict and examine the buildings as
well as inquire concerning the health
of the pupils and the schoolmaster.

STRAW AND HAY BARROW

make an almost square frame, using
II of the lath pieces, as if making q

side of this frame, at desired height,
nail two heavier and longer pieces for

of each narrowed down to fit

frame, nail lath or boards, letting the

be little heavier than the others, to
