What Kind of Corn Shall | Plant?

Last spring the Vermont Experiment
Station planted four varieties of corn on
three different parts Of his farm. San
ford, Red Cob, Leaning and large Vir-
ginia corn were chosen. They were
separately harvested, ensilaged and fed.
The Sanford grew 6 feet tall, and matur-
ed the Red Cob, S12 feet and partly
glazed its ears; the Leaning and Virgin.
ia corns, 91a and 111a feet respectively, the
ears arriving at the milk stage. The
yield of green fodder per acre were San
ford 8. Red Cob IA, Leaning 16 and Vir-
ginia II tons. The yields of food matter
to the acre were Sanford 278, Red Cob
3A, Leaning and Virginia corn 1.3
tons.
The Sanford corn, being most mature,
kept best in the silo and came out
with an exceedingly small loss. The Red
Cob corn lost comparatively little, the
other two immature corns much. as such
wet material always must, in the silo or
out fit. AS result, therefore, the
actual food which reached the cows
managers from an acre of Sanford corn
which only grew 9 tons Of green fodder,
was nearly as great as from an acre OF
the Virginia corn which grew II tons,
and greater than from an acre of Lean
ing corn which grew 16 tons. The Red
Cob matured better than hitherto at the
station farm and its food yield exceeded
that of the Sanford slightly. This result
is exceptional.
The Sanford silage was the best and
heartiest of the four and the cows did
better on it than on either of the other
silages.
These trials confirm Others hitherto
made at the Vermont and other stations.
They show that the extra growth OF the
big varieties over those like the Sanford
is practically all water. He who grows
such must handle in the field, on the
wagons and on the silage cutter from
to tons OF extra water to the acre. He
must furnish silo room for it and then
laboriously lift it out of the silo and
carry it to the cattle. This extra water
has no food value whatever 1t is better
and cheaper all around to water the
cattle in some other way.

"The old judge was one of the kindliest
of men," said an attorney of this city,
speaking of a distinguished member of
the local bar, who is now dead but
his temper was as warm as his heart,
and when momentarily exasperated he
had a tongue like razor. When l was
studying law in his office we had copy
ing clerk who was known about the
place as the late Peter Jones'-a sobri-
quet he acquired by being always behind
time. He was slow, distracted,
dreamy kind of fellow, with his mind
generally hundred miles from his bus
mess, and he was continually working
the judge up to the point of explosion.
One day wire basket fell off the top Of
his desk and grazed his cheek, making
slight scratch several inches long. Be-
ing very busy at the moment, and wish
ing to protect the abrasion from the air

haied over and over again, they are led
away. In the old days most of the men
who came down from the Moosehead
region knew the veteran Conductor
Nathan Swan, and used to make him the
custodian of a part of their wealth. He
had their entire confidence, and used to
be carrying all kinds OF little bundles OF
money tied up and ticketed. The men
would turn up later, on their way back
to the woods, congratulating themselves
and Uncle Swan on the fact that they
had left reserve fund sufficient to buy
their tobacco and little luxuries until the
time of the next pay day. The police tell
me that fully one.half the men waste
with careless prodigality the whole of
their earnings in forty-eight hours. They
either spend it themselves or it is stolen
from them. The law abiding people of
Maine have long lamented that this fact
is so, but to prevent it a guardian
would OF necessity be required for each
lumberman as soon as he struck town.
and the guardian would most likely be
used roughly if he attempted to interfere
with any mans proud prerogative of
spending his own money as he sees fit.
The woodsmen used to create great
havoc in trains and hotels with the spike
soled boots that they resolutely wore
everywhere and chawnked down with
great vigor. A state law now makes it
punishable offence to wear such foot
wear in on floors. Therefore, it is a
common spectacle to behold string of
men kick off their big shoes at the doors
of barrooms and hotels before going in
for drink. But their heavy socks are
almost as much protection as the ordin-
airy mans thin soled shoes. The law
against spike soled boots is now four
years old, but the breezy man from the
woods hasn't yet finished cursing the
dude notion. y Lewiston (Me.) cor.

went on with his work. A little later on
he had some papers to take to the United
States Court, and, forgetting all about
his peculiar decoration, he put on his
hat and sailed out. He must have
created a sensation on the street, but, as
usual, his mind was elsewhere, and when
he returned in half an hour or so, he was
still in blissful ignorance of his Mardi
Gras aspect. The three stamps happen

Recent experiments in wireless tele-
graphy off the coast of Malta has result
ed in the successful transmission of a
message 1874 mi, according to U. S. Con-

received in an unexpected way. While
experimenting on ship in the open sea,
the consul says, the operators were sur
prised to receive a message in Italian

1t afterward developed that the message
came from an Italian war vessel at

-LFrom Ballads of the Drive
The folks in the rear coaches of Ban
gor and Aroostook train the other day
heard above the clanking and rush of the
car wheels tumult of shouts from the
smoking car ahead. Any one who was
not accustomed to the gentle manners of
the woods crews on their way out to
civilization would have imagined that a
fearful scene OF riot and slaughter was in
progress out there.
Once in a while the yells would almost
split the ears, and out from the open
windows OF the car wonld go whiring
old coats, tattered shirts of bright hue,
NdpS eihb idlSj anu OlhNl III
From the fact that later several men in
the car were seen arrayed only in their
heavy underwear, it was evident that
some of the travellers had even discarded
their trousers. The lumberman of the
old school likes to reach the city peeled
right down to the indispensable in the
way of attire. He is going to buy a new
suit of $40 clothes anyway, and what
does he want of the woods worn gar
ments that have been absorbing the
steams and stenches OF the lumber camp
for many months? They remind him Of
his bitter toll and his sequestration. So
he offs with 'em as the train goes hurry
ing on, and has good timein shedding
the things. But unless conditions are
extreme the noise from the smoking car
is the worst feature of the scene. The
average lumberman is good natured in
his riot Unless he is especially provoked
or has some old gfudges to satisfy he
wells and whoops and storms up and
down the aisles-and that's about all.
But even in doing that he furnishes some
queer spectaces along the line in these
DAYS between the "cut" and the drive.
There is week or two now when there
is nothing else to do except to have
good time, spend the earnings of the
winter in the woods and get ready for
the start back to the headwaters where
the logs are yarded ready for the rush
down the river. In these later days the
majority of the woodsmen in Maine are
unmarried, and are as irresponsible so
far as their financial affairs 60 as sailors.
They have only few days to spend a
lot of money. 1t burns. The friends OF
the lumbermen say that the men are bet
ter off when their money is gone. Then
they will get back to work. They will
remain temperate, steady and sober as
deacons until the next pay time comes
The unfortunate feature of the situa-
ton is that there are so many harpies
waiting in the Maine cities ready to seize
and pluck the unwary woodsman. One
standing at the railroad stations will
behold solicitors for all sorts of enter
prises from clothing stores and boarding l

Odds and Ends.

In the rural districts of France every
pupil, boy or girl, takes to school 10 the
morning a handful of vegetables and
puts them in large pan of water. They
are washed by one of the older pupils,
who takes turns at performing this duty.
Then the vegetables are placed in ket-
tie with water and piece of pork, and
are cooked while the lessons are going
on. At 11.3O o'clock each member OF
the CO operative association has bowl
of hot soup. To cover the cost of fuel
and meat, those pupils who can afford it
pay from two to four sous a month.
In most of the cities of France the pupils
in the public schools are now furnished
with their MONDAY meals at school
canteens," maintained either by the mu-
nicipality or by private generosity.
Although the Philippine Commission
enacted a provision last January making
it lawful for the priest or minister of
church to teach religion in the public
schools at stated times to pupils whose
parents or guardians asked for such in
struction, it is announced by the com
mission that thus far not one such re-
quest has been made, which is consid-
cred strange, inasmueh as so many of
the Filipinos are Roman Catholics, and
therefore presumably anxious to have
religion taught in the public schools.

Pan-American Congress Now consid-

washington, Sept. ALI doubt con-
corning the holding of an interna-
tional conference of American states
in the City of Mexico was removed
when announcement was made that
Peru had appointed three of her most
eminent men as delegates to the con-
ference. This news was received
with qualification at the state depart
ment, which has believed that much
good will come from such a confer
ence and id all it could to bring about
an harmonious programme and to
unite all the countries south of us in
support of the conference. At one
time the conference was in jeopardy,
owing to the fact that Peru and per-
haps other countries desired to have
the conference consider arbitration of
certain pending boundary disputes,
while Chile wished the conference to
keep hands off pending troubles be-
tween herself and Peru and Bolivia.
Chile some time ago appointed dele
gates as result of satisfactory as
surances that were not we'll received
by Peru. However, the last namedl
country has now .acquiesced in the
programme arranged, and has named
Senior Alzamora, vice president of the
Peruvian republic, Minister Calderon
and Senior Gilmore, chief justice of the
supreme court Of Peru, as her dele
gates.
