told me that il | did not mind she pro-

bedroom which she herself usually oc-
eupied. and which for some time past
had been haunted by "a little lady"

at the house, she, to her great ast0lish-

Poor work IN 81 reddins.

Considerable complaint has been
made against the corn shredder because
the shredded material, especially the
coarser parts of the corn stalk were not
properly cut to pieces. Pieces of stalk
from six to ten inches long formed the
greater part of the waste that accumu-
lated in the managers. Much of this ma
teriai, If reduced 10 fineness, would be
eaten by stock, and a great deal Of
actual feed could be saved However,
It Is true that portion of the stalk can
hardly be reduced by the shredder and
cutter head sufficiently to be eaten by
animals. A grinding process that
brushes as well as cuts is necessary to
do this. But the common shredder may
he made to do much better work than it
has done the past season
Where the shredder has started fresh
with sharp, keen knives, firmly set, the
thrashed material was made a great
deal finer than after the machine has
been used for a considerable length of
time without the knives being sharp
ened. Shredder owners are doing great
injury by allowing such careless work
Instances are known where the knives
of the shredder have not been looked
after during the entire seasons work
Such poorly cut up fodder brings tie
shredder into disrepute: and the dis
tricts that have been imposed upon will
likely have very little fodder shredded

If there should be very large crops
of wheat and comparatively small
crJps of corn, the old question as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of feeding wheat to stock
will come to the front again. No one
win question the value of wheat as
food for poultry. but as food for cat
tie. to the exclusion of other grains, it
ought not to be considered. The value
of wheat as stock food lies in the guam
tity OF protein it contains. At the prices
which have ranged for wheat for sew
eral years, it has been yueaper to sell
the wheat and buy bran to feed with
the corn raised on the farm, but il
wheat is likely to be low in price, then
it would seem good policy TO feed it
around ia equal ,,n"ntities with corn.

Value of Forage Crons.

Dry pastures and hot weather bring
little terror to the farmer who has
planted literally of such crops as win
give forage in midsummer The early
sweet corn is in condition TO feed and
the sorghum is coming into head. With
these crops to supplement the pastures.
the live stock Will receive little check
in the production of meat and milk
from lack of food during the hot wealth
Ell. If stock is compelled to hunt for
living all day in weed fields with little
grass, a loss may be expected, one that
will be difficult and expensive TO make
good later on. The hogs and sheep, as
well as the cows, will appreciate an ex-
ira ration during the warm days While
ne stock is running on pasture, if
shade. food and water are together,
noon Is an excellent time to do this spe-
cial feeding. At this time of day the
animals will be in the shade near their
watering place, and extra feed may
then be given without disturbing them
in the cool morning and evening when
they enjoy feeding ON the grass. A
check in growth. whether in summer or
winter, is always an actual loss to the

The American Sheep Breeder says
that it is quite possible that an ounce
of mixed food such as corn and oats
ground together. with an equal guam
tity of wheat eIiddling or bran, will
add an ounce or more to the weight of
lambs after they are four weeks old.
il given daily in addition to other prop
er food, and as they grow older this
amount may be increased. with nearly
corresponding increase in weight
gained To exchange pound OF grain,
costing about one cent. for pound of
lamb worth fifteen cents seems to be
trade that almost any farmer would
be willing to make. but we have seen
those who boasted that they never
bought any grain. They did not raise
lambs or chickens, sold but little and
bought less. and saved money, but we
would not have accepted their farms
and the money they had accumulated
and agreed to make the farm as good
as it was when they received it, Such
farmers are usually robbers. robbing
the land of its fertility, robbing their
families of the comforts of life. and
their children of the pleasures of youth
and nearly all that is desirable in life,
unless the children fo.sake the farm

Saving the corn fodder has become
most important operation IN NEST of
the farms. The drought his cut short
the oats ana hay crop, ana the deficien-
cy in coarse folders must be supplied
from the corn fields. The silo has
proved to be of great value in convert
ing the green fodder into ensilage. 1t
is not only the most economical method
of handling the crop, but gives the best
food, not for dairy animals only, but
for the production of beef. The making
of enslage is not generally practiced
throughout the country. The slower is
put up as dry fodder, and is so fed.
Corn-cutting has become so general
that II is often difficult to obtain help
for harvesting the crop, either for the
silo or in the dry state The improve
ments made in the corn binder have
made ii a practical and valuable nipple
ment for cutting the fodder. The binder
not only hastens the work of cutting the
forage but by tying it into bundles the
material is much more easily handled
when put on wagons or when placed
In the shock The feeding into the
shredder is more regular where the fod-
der has been given to 1t in punches of

Truck farming differs from the grow

so much land is needed for this work;
hence the location of the home can be

city and rural life can be enjoyed. This

The closing of mills stores. banks and

with the result that the suspension Of

In the larger communities the trrnouts
on Monday Were particularly Impressive,
New York alone abstaining from the usu-
al parade, the day being given over to ex-

Kansas City, Columbus, Rochester, Den

When first launched many believed La
Dor Day would gradually cease to attract
attention ard that organized labor, in
strumental ~ rs creation, would be the
first to tire of it. AS yet there is no sign
of slackening interest on the part of the
workingmen or any other class who profit
by the cessation from work. The man of
wealth and the man of profession are
equally as anxious a the wage Garner for
the continuance of the custom.

No other country than the United
States sets apart a day for its toilers to
