Cabbage. as Stock Food.

The value Of the cabbage as food for
stock may be summed up as strong in
two points, the large amount that can
be grown upon an acre of soil and its
succulency, which makes it milk-pro-
ducing food easily digested. But 1t re-
quires strong soil and good cultivation,
does not keep we'll for winter use I'M
less pitted where it will be frozen until
spring, and even then having but a
short season, while if stumps and any
decayed leaves are fed it is almost i'm
possible to prevent it imparting rank,
unpleasant flavor to the milk and but
ter, or even to the meat, unless its use
is discontinued two or three weeks be-
fore TIE slaughtering. AS regards the
nutritive value Professor Johnston in
Agricultural Chemistry estimated sew
enty pounds of cabbage to have about
the same value as four pounds of oil
cake, twelve pounds Of pea straw, six
teen pounds clover hay, twenty pounds
of meadow hay, ITO pounds of oat
straw or 100 pounds of turnips. This
last we think he bases upon the fiat or
English turnip, which are not as nu-
tritious as the rutabaga. The value Of
the cabERges, as of the roots, is best
found when a small amount is given
along with coarse, dry fodder and a
limited amount Of grain.-Massachu
sets Ploughman.

Start Horses Slowly.

When the horse has been fed and is
taken out to work, it should be started
in to labor rather easily to get the most
work at the least inconvenience to the
horse. The reason for this Is not hard
to find. 1t is simply that during the
feeding time the organs are getting
themselves into condition for digestion
and are possibly even digesting the
feed. A large quantity of blood is call
ed away from the other members and
Is poured into the vessels about the
stomach. This blood must all be with
drawn when the horse begins to work
and be supplied to the muscular or
gans where it is most needed. This
change cannot be done all at once. 1t
requires a little time for the blood to
reach the physical demands. If the
blood has time to make the change by
moderate starting all will be we'll. If
not, then there is q temporary exhaus-
ton from which it may require hours
to recover entirely.

A correspondent of the National
Stockman tells how he avoids trouble
from the Hessian in his wheat fields.
He prepares his ground for sowing,
and then waits till he sees the fly about.
Then he drills in his wheat. AS the flies
all swarm at once, and only last four
days, they have all persisted before his
wheat is up, and he suffers no damage,
and averages much better crops than
his neighbors. We do not know whether
this habit of all coming out at once and
perish in four days is true Of it every
where, or peculiar to them in Ohio. We
never saw or htard it mentioned be-
fore, but if true it should be generally
known

Notes About Fruit.

In the market buyers sometimes pre-.
fer small but fully ripened Strawberries
to larger ones picked too green.
The grape is considered the most
healthful Of all fruits. Every one who
has garden, yard or a wall can grow
grapes.
In starting young orchard look af.
ter the trees often, and wherever limb
is found crossing another limb cut II
out.
Plum trees should be sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture, but it should be
weaker than for apples, or it will burn
the foliage.
Apple, pear and plum trees should be
planted in every poultry yard They
will afford shade for the fowls and the
poultry will destroy many insects.
Plum trees do not generally require
as much pruning as apple trees. Prun-
ing should be done as early in the
spring as possible, before the sap
starts.
There is no section Of country where
some variety of every kind of fruit
will not do well. Experiment with
fruit until you find varieties suited to
your locality.
Most plums should be picked for
market a few days before they are
thoroughly ripe. Even for home use
they are better just before they are per-
fectly ipe.--Germantown telegram

Feeding Ensilage.

One can begin to feed silage from the
top of the silo as soon as cutting
ceases, or the material may be left I'M
til needed in winter time, says Breed
er's Gazette. The silo should be ar,
ranged to have such diameter that
of silage will be fed off the top each
day. If less than this amount is fed
off, trouble may arise from the exposed
silage starting to heat and mold. If
so much as an inch and half or two
inches is fed off daily, then the silage
material at the surface is always fresh
and in good condition.

Clover H1naf.

Glover bloat can always be prevent
ed by keeping the cattle off the clover
while it is wet with rain or dew. The
usual cause of death when an animal Is
bloated is congestion Of the lungs from
pressure of the stomach against them.
The flesh OF such animal should be
darker in color from the stoppage Of
blood in the small vessels than the
flesh of an animal butchered, but do
not believe it would poison any one to
eat the flesh of such animals. The best
remedy for clover bloat is to make an
opening in the upper part of the left
flank with pocketknife and thrust the
fingers into the opening. Then the gas
will escape at the sides Of the finger.
Or use some hollow tube TO put into
the opening.

Wise Wit.

If man will turn his back on for

thus Fortune has nothing to give him

It is much easier to let thing go than

There is more to be learned by listen

close together and as fell looked at
them and saw that the fuses had not
nearly burned down. You see, in those
days they cut off the fuses according

picked up unconscious and spent three
months in the hospital, recovering in

only regret is that he was too old to
go to the Spanish war along with one
son who served as a captain in the
First Iowa and two grandsons now
fighting in the Philippines.

Plants Poisonous to Animals
The bulletin from the Montana Elk
pertinent Station gives list of four
teen species Of plants which are known
or strongly suspected of poisoning ami
mails. Among them are the lupines,
which killed 100 out Of 200 bucks fed OH
hay, and in 1898 some 1000 sheep from
eating ripe lupine on the range. The
trouble seems to be in the ripe or near
ly ripe seed. The purple and tall lark
spur killed 40 cattle in the Gallatin
Valley when other plants were covered
with snow; aconite, water hemlock and
nightshade have proved poisonous to
both man and beast. In 1898, a dairy
man had a field Of oats SO badly smut
ted that he cut them for hay instead
of letting the grain ripen. Out Of 80
cows which were given one feed Of 1t,
IL died within 10 hours having both
gastric and cerebral trouble. Ergot on
native grasses Is claimed to have killed
number Of horses in from six to eight
hours, the muscles of the throat being
paralyZed first, and then the whole body
paralyzed. Strychnine and whisky seem
to be the only remedy having effect.
1t is better to avoid feeding ergot or
smut on any grass or grain. Exchange.

Destroying English Sparrows.

A paper published in New South
Wales, Australia, tells how farmers de-
stroy English sparrows out there. They
make a double coop and put one or
more fowl or chickens in one compart-
ment, leaving the other empty. When
feeding they scatter a little wheat in
the empty compartment, which is soon
found by the sparrows. After about a
week they soak the wheat in vinegar
and sugar. After the sparrows become
accustomed to this, they add little
strychnine to the vinegar and sugar,
and allow the wheat to soak about
twelve hours, then dry it and scatter it
In the empty coop. One or two grains
is enough to finish any sparrow, and IL
1t is given every day at the same place
In the same way, and dead birds re-
moved if any die in the coop, hundreds
of them may be destroyed, but If the
dead are left it may brighten away the
others Massachusetts Ploughman.

Black Tongue in Cattle.

Black tongue is one of the forms of
anthrax. The tongue turns black, and
the animal dies in a few hours. 1t is
contagious and infectious and is in
durable, and all carcasses should be
burned If it appears in a herd Of
stock, the we'll ones should be vacci-
mated with anthrax vaccine and not
backlog VACCINE.

that by 1895 we should have to buy
food and cotton for $4,000 of our own
people at home, and in 1900 enough for
6,475,0OO. We said then that we had
no faith in his figures, aud that we be-
ueved the cultivation of some of the
then unimproved land and better meth
DDS Of production would enable us to
feed and clothe our population and
have surplus for other nations not
only in 1900, but for many decade
after that. We are thankful that we
have lived to find that in 1900 our ex-
ports of agriculture products not only
grain, hay and cotton, but many other
things have not decreased In value or
amount below the amount we sent out
in 1885 and 1890, but have made a
handsome increase, and 1t will yet be
many years before all our available
land will be titled or grazed, and many
more before we shall have reached our
largest capacity of production. The
average crops as reported by the last
census are far from being one-half, and
are scarcely one-third of what good
farmers call good crop. Figures are

stonewan Jackson's Wounds.


In view of the recent discussion
whether Frank S. Rosenthal of Car
rollton, Mo, Louisiana Tiger" is the
man who fired the shot which resulted
in the death of Stonewal Jackson, a
review of the facts in this case may
prove interesting. Gen. Clement A.
Evans, who was a Colonel in Gen
Jackson's command at the time, and
who later was promoted to the COM
mand of the famous Stonewan brigade,
when told Of Mr.. RosenthaPs fears
that he was the particular man who
fired the fatal shot, said the idea OF
any one man thinking he was respon-
sible for Jackson's death was ridicu-
lous. There were three distinct
wounds" said Gen. Evans, land to the
best of my recollection the shots were
fired by North Carolina troops" Gen.
Evans referred to Memoirs of Stone
wall Jackson" by his widow, Mary
Anna Jackson, says the Atlanta (Ga)
News. This gives q complete account
of the untimely accident which took
from the Southern forces their most
brilliant leader. Col. Augustus ChOate
Hamlin names the SD and 18th North
Carolina regiments as the ones imme-
diately adjacent to the spot where Gen.
Jackson was shot and the 18th is.
named as firing the fatal shots. Mrs.
Jackson's account, in part, Of the az
cident, in her work on the life of her
husband is as follows: Gen. Jack
son, accompanied by part of his staff
and several couriers, advanced on the
turnpike in the direction of the enemy
about 100 yards, when he was fired
upon by a volley of musketry from his
right front. The bullets whistled
among the party and struck several
horses. This first was evidently from
the enemy and one of his men caught
the bride rein and said to him: Gen
Jackson, you should not expose your
self so much There is no danger
he replied, the enemy is routed. Go
back and tell Gen. Hill to press on
But in order to screen himself from
the flying bullets he rode from the road
to the left and rear. The small trees
and brushwood being very dense, it
was difficult to effect a passage ON
horseback. While riding as rapidly as
possible to the rear, he came in front
of his own line of battle, who, having
no idea that he or any one but the
enemy, was in their front, and, mis-
taking the party for a body of federal
cavalry, opened sharp fire upon
them. From this volley Gen. Jackson
received his mortal wounds. His right
arm was pierced by n bullet, his left
arm was shattered by two balls, one
above and one below the elbow, break
ing the bones and seyering the main
artery. His horse, Little Sorrel, ter
rified by the nearness and suddenness
of the fire, dashed off in the direction
of the enemy and it was with great
difficulty that he could control him
his bride hand being helpless, and the
tangle brushwood, through which he
was borne, almost dragging him from
his seat But he seized the reins with
his right hand, and arresting the fight
of the horse, brought him back into
his own lines, where, almost fainting,
he was assisted to the ground by Capt
his signal officer"

When Hogs Are Sick.

Whenever a hog seems to be sick, it
should be separated from the well ones
and rigid examination made to find
the cause. Then the cause should be
removed. In case of infectious disease
this process should be reversed and the
well ones removed.
