WASTE OF CORN FODDER.
Rank Extravaganza of Western
Farmers Surprises Thoughtful
Observers from the East.

Prof. Shaw renews his plea for
greater economy upon the western
farm. Of that most palpable and use
less extravaganza witnessed in 90 out
of every 100 corn fields, he says: THE
waste of corn fodder in the Mississippi
valley is a grievous waste. In the ag-
gregate the uncut corn must amount
to millions and millions of acres. And
one acre in those states where the
season is long grows SO much food!
In a recent ride from Omaha to Kan.
sas City, for more than half a day the
train steamed along through corn
fields, nearly all of which were uncut.
There was enough of uncut corn in
this one part of the Missouri valley
to feed hundreds of thousands of cat
tie through all the winter. All this
valuable food will waste, and it is only
a fragmentary portion of the waste
that will take place all up and down
the Mississippi and many of it's trib-
utaries. The day will come when all
this will change. The day will come
when it must change. At one time the
greatest profit may thus have been
obtained by large holders of land. 1t
may be SO still. But surely in these
days of high priced meat and of shred.
ders, more money could be made by
using more of this valuable food. The
people in those areas where this prac.
tice prevails will be hard indeed to
persuade to change their ways, the
force of habit is so powerful, bat1t is
change that ought to be brought
about.'-Prairie Farmer.

BITS FROM BUZZDOM.

Swarming hives should be kept in
q cool place. A swarm may be in
duced to enter hot hive, but if it
be too hot they are liable to de.
sert it.
Use young larvae for the rearing
of queen bees. Bees always select
the younger larvae, and apiarists
may well follow the bees in this mat
ter, says Mrs. Ella Henson.
Sometimes, when bees have started
combs, and some eggs are laid, an
extremely hot day will cause them
to desert the hive. This can be
avoided by having the hive in a
shaded place, or by erecting a four.
pole simple shade over it.
Bees seldom desert hive after
they have made a large beginning on
combs and eggs, or when frame
of brood is supplied to them.
Close students of bees insist that
bees never gather honey and pollen
on the same trip.
Honey-gatherers carry twice a.
heavy loads as are gathered by the
pollen-gatherers. The reason for
this is that the honey is heavier than
the pollen, bulk for bulk, and that
the honey is taken into the bees
sack, while the pollen is carried On
the ends of the legs.-Rural World.
The size of the hives must be set.
tied by the locality of the apiary.
No one size of hive will answer per.
fectly in all places.

To Keen Egg. All Summer.

Kill or remove every male bird on
the place. Two weeks after begin to
gather the eggs fresh every day,
take them directly to the cellar,
where you have covered the bottom
of a box about one inch deep with
salt. Cover the surface with eggs,
big end down, nearly touching each
other. Then cover with salt and so
on until full. In November the eggs
will be in very good condition. The
first year I tried it I sold S25 worth
of June packed eggs at November
prices. Carefully wash off all the
salt and let them dry. There is one
extra precaution; be sure that all the
eggs are fresh and with no cracked
shells. Of course if fertile eggs are
wanted for Matching, males must be
kept for awhile in spring-W. II.

BIRDS HELP FARMERS.
They Prey ON Mice, Insects and Other
Varieties of Vermin Which
Destroy Crops.

The bulletins on birds and NAM
mails published by the biological sur
vey of Washington correct widely
prevalent errors as to the economic
status of species that affect agricul-
tural interests and demonstrate the
inefficiency and wastefulness of boun-
ty laws, under which millions of dol
lars have been expended by the va
rious states and territories without
accomplishing the object for which
they were intended.
Birds are the farmers most val
liable aids in his lifelong battle with
the insects that prey on his crops.
How important, therefore, that he
should not destroy them that do him
the greatest service. In the case of
hawks and owls the division has
shown, by the examination of the
stomach contents of about 5000 of
these universally hated and perse-
cuted birds, that only six out of the
Is kinds inhabiting the United States
are injurious, and three of these are
so rare they need hardly be consid-
cred, leaving only three to be taken
into account as enemies of agricul-
ture. The others prey upon mice,
insects and other vermin and rank
among the farmers best friends.
Since the establishment in 1885, the
division has examined the stomach
contents of nearly $4,000 birds be-
longing to 200 species and subspe-
cies, and has published information
on the food habits of 140 kinds, main
ly hawks, owls, crows, jays, black
birds, sparrows, thrushes, fly catch
ers, swallows, wrens, shril<es, wood
peckers, horned larks and cedar
birds.-Ainslee's Magazine.

Removing !. Mountain.

In building the railway running
from San Jose to the Pacific coast in
Costa RIGA, the engineers were COM
PEELED to run the track along ledge
on the side of mountain just above
the River Reventa. The soil of the
mountain is a sort of blush clay
which turns into mud during the
rainy season and washes out the
track, so that gangs of men are kept
constantly at work clearing the road.
To add to the troubles, q lake at the
back of the mountain is fed by
springs, and the mountain is always
wet and the track constantly threat
ened. In this emergency there is
only one thing to do, and that is to
remove that part of the mountain
over which the railway runs. With
the aid of what is known as n.y.
draulic giant-a machine which
throws powerful stream of water
with tremendous force-the engi-
neers are now busy washing the
mountain into the river. When their
task is completed, they will have the
satisfaction of knowing that it is
possible to remove mountain

statement:
81 had Diabetes with all its worst
symptoms. I applied every remedy
known to the profession, as well as
every prescription suggested in our
books. In spite of all, was dying,
and knew it.
sAs a last resort, and with scarcely
any faith whatever, commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills- In one week
1 saw great improvement. After
had taken five boxes, was sound and
we'll. This is ten months ago, and l
have not taken any medicine OF any
kind since, and am convinced that my
cure is a permanent one.
AS practicing physician with
wears of experience, most positively
assert that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best medicine in the world today,
for Diabetes or any other Kidney
Disease. Since using them myself, l
have used them in many cases in my
practice, and they have never failed.
81 am making this statement as
professional man, after having made
a most thorough test of Dodd's Kid
new Pills. and because I feel it my
duty to the public and to my profess
s1onal brethren. The truth can never
hurt anyone, and what have SAID IL
the absolute truth
r. H. DUNAWAY, NJ. D.

enthusiastic over this new medicine,
when our leading physicians them
selves, are being won over to Its use

Preparing Soil for Satisfy.

The soils for satisfy should be rich,
but with well-rotted manure worked
deep and thoroughly. Upon the per-
feet condition of the soil depend the
straightness and smoothness of the
roots, there being tendency to
branch where fresh manure is applied.
The plants should be cultivated as
parsnips are. They are very hardy,
are not affected by frost, and may be
left in the ground all winter without
harm. But to have the roots ready for
use they should be dug in the fall and
stored away in soil or sand where the
temperature is low. If exposed to the
air the roots become shriveled and
tasteless, and are without value.

the middle of the forehead.
When hammer or ak is employed
the horse should be blindfolded. Two
vigorous, well-directed blows just be-
low the foretop will make death GER
tain.
In shooting dog the pistol should
be held near the head, the aim being
little to one side of the center of the
top of the skull. The shot should be
fred downward, so that the bullet
shall go through the brain into or to-
ward the neck.
After much consultatio with veter-
mary surgeons and experts, the So

merciful way of killing cats than to
put, with long-handled spoon, about
half teaspoonful of pure cyanide of

The Ohio experiment station gives
good advice when 1T recommends blue
grass, redtop, red clover and timothy
for permanent pasture. The red clo-
YER enriches the ground and soon
runs out. The timothy furnishes feed
while the slower bluegrass is get
ting started. The redtop furnishes
good pasturage between the two
growths of bluegrass, which is at its
best only in spring, early summer and
fall. The timothy will give way when
the bluegrass becomes we'll rooted,
and the redtop will do so more or less
on land that is not naturally moist;
but these three grasses should be
used in the formation of permanent
pasture wherever they thrive.
