CARE OF CORN FODDER.
Picked, Otherwise Ice ana Snow
Will Injure 1t.

, More corn fodder will be fed this
winter than ever before. For this rea--
son it will be necessary for the farm
er to rick up his fodder in way to
keep well and still be easily handled.
The use of the shredder, if proper
storage room is available, will great
" simplify matters; but there will be
many farmers who will feed fodder ex-
tensively without shredding and who
will therefore welcome any hint an
to the best and handiest methods. Tho
following has several points to recon-
mend it.:
Set row of posts about eight feet
apart and as many as the amount of
fodder will require, in a place out of
the way and still as near to the place
where the fodder is to be fed as may
be. From one of the posts to the othct,
spike or wire poles or two by four
scantlings. These should be about 1--WE
feet from the ground. The tops of
the stalks are to lie or lean against
this with the butts standing on the
ground. Both sides can be built up
simultaneously, building one section
at a time. By having the butts stood
about a foot from the perpendicular
on each side, good-sized space will
be left the whole length of the rick
This will give perfect ventilation to
the pile and the dog and cats about
the premises will take advantage OF
this and see that the mice and rats
do not trouble the fodder. The rick
can be built up as the fodder is hauled
in from the field.
Put up in this way the stalks will
shed the rain perfectly. Only the out
side stalks will be exposed and the
butts on the ground are the parts that
are never eaten. In feeding, the ricl;
can be opened at one end and only as
much as is needed be taken down,
leaving none exposed by so doing.
There is no loss in this way, and the
fodder is always dry and free from ice
and snow.-Ohio Farmer.

and made them one were driven by
Leland Stanford. The spikes were
three in number. One was of gold
from California, one of silver from
Nevada, and the other of gold and
silver from Arizona. 1t was the COM
pletion of the most marvellous
achievement in railroading in Ameri-
ca. It was an achievement that
brought millions of dollars into the
Golfers of Leland Stanford, but he
and Mrs. Stanford have returned
many millions of it to California in
the university they founded and in
other ways.
When he was but 16 years old the
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford
died. He was a promising lad who
was studiously inclined, and he had
said that when he became q man he
intended to establish great univer-
sity. His father and mother remem-
bered his words and the university
they have founded is their monu-
ment to the memory of Leland Stan
ford. Junior.
Mrs. Stanford has never cared very
much for society, and she has always
regarded her wealth as a trust to be
administered for the good of others.
Most of her time in these the last
years of her life is spent in planning
for the university and in considering
how best to dispose of the large for
tune still left in her possession all
though she has already given away
so many millions. - Detroit Free

WOOD FOR THE STOVE.
Many a Tired Farm Wife IL Com.
PEELED to Do Her Cooking Under
Trying Conditions.

Nothing is more exasperating to a
woman than burning wet, soggy
wood. On cold morning to have
the house filed with smoke instead
OF heat sets all things wrong. Then
many loaf of bread is indigestible
and unwholesome because the wood
was green and wouldn't enable the
cook to control the heat of the oven,
giving too slow fire, and then,
when not required, too hot q fire.
These are phases of burning green
wood with which the most of the
farmers wives are only too ia
miliar.
Green wood is 50 per cent. heavier
than dry wood because of the excess
Of moisture. This of course increases
the expense of hauling, if green
rather than dry wood is used, for
only half as much of the green wood
:an be hauled on a load as of dry
wood. Don't argue that the horses,
boys and yourself are not very busy
and your time and labor don't count.
Such logic added TO rooms filled
with smoke is what will leave you in
old age alone on the farm. Time
and muscles are many times the
farmers only capital and should
never be unwisely expended.
Then, aside from increased expense
In hauling, 50 per cent. of the heat
is consumed in evaporating the wa
ter in the green wood. Now figure
how much more swinging of the ak
is necessary if you have provided
green wood for fuel this winter. It
takes good business push and a
of farm economics to cut
wood and cord it up to dry out for
another seasons use. This is an
other evidence that energy and
are as large factors in
success on the farm as in other lines.

MRS. LELAND STANFORD.
She Enjoys the Reputation Of Being
the Greatest Woman Philan-
thropist of Our Time.

If at any time in the future his
tory of philanthropy in America
should be written, the name of Mrs.
Leland Stanford would have promi-
nent place in that history. 10 her
would belong the distinction of hav-
ing given more to the great cause of
education than any other woman of
her generation. Her private benefac-
tions will never be known, but they
have been many and large. She takes
first rank in the amount she has
given to educational, charitable and
other institutions.
Mrs. Stanford was Miss Jane La
throp and she was born in the year
1925, so that for six years she has
lived on the BORROWED time" of those
who go beyond the threescore and
ten years of life. When she married
Leland Stanford about so years ago
he was a poor and struggling young
lawyer.
It was Leland Stanford who
brought about that great triumph of
modern times, railroad across the
Rocky mountains. His business in
stinct told him that the great west
could never rise to the full scope of
its wonderful resources until it was
connected by bands of steel with the
east The best railroad engineers of
that day said that railroad up and
over the Rocky mountains was be-
yond the limit of human achievement.
Other engineers thought it possible,
and Leland Stanford said that it
should come to pass. He set to work
with invincible resolution to have the
road constructed and on the 10th day
of May in the year 1869 the road from
the Atlantic coast and the road from
the Pacific coast met at Promontory,
Utah, point $50 miles from San
Francisco and little more than 1000
miles from Omaha. The last spikes

Feeding Corn to Hogs.

It is hard to understand why hog
growers of the west are rushing hogs
to market half finished. The price of
hogs is about $6.4o to $3.50 per 100 live
weight, and that of corn IS cents a
bushel. Experience has shown that a
bushel of corn makes about II pounds
of gain, live weight, when fed to hogs.
That would make the corn worth about
70 cents bushel when so fed. It
doesn't cost the difference between IS
cents and 71h cents bushel to market
corn fed hogs, by good deal. Other
wise also it is mistake to rush hogs
to market half finished, as it breaks
down the market, both because of
quality and quantity.-Indiana Farm

Yield from Rye Pasture.

From a two-acre hog lot sown to
rye in the fall and pastured through
the winter and early spring a man
threshed 46 bushels of rye. To- get a
full yield from a rye pasture it
should not be grazed on very long in
the spring or when it is ready to
shoot upward. A grain crop that
can be pastured six months in the
year and almost full crop of grain
harvested therefrom to boot" is GER
tainly a valuable one for the stock
and grain farmer to take hold of.
While the price of rye is not gener-
ally as great as wheat the yield IL
greater. -
