cARs or corn roDDsa.



More corn fodder win Be nd this
winter than ever before. For this rea-
son Il 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, II proper
storage room is available. will great
" simplify matters; but there win be
many farmers who win feed fodder ex-
sensively without shreddiug and who
will therefore welcome any hint a.
70 the best and andiest methods. The
following has several points to recon.
mend II:
Set q row Of posts about eight feet
apart and as many as the amount Of
fodder will require. in . place out OF
the way and still as near to the place
where the fodder 10 to be fed a. may
be. From one OF the posts to the other,
spike or wire poles or two BY four
scantlinga These should be about I'VE
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 time. BY having the butts stood
about q foot from the perpendicular
on each side. a 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 win 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 IL 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 tEat
are never eaten. In feeding. the rick
can be opened at one end and only az
much a. is needed be taken down,
leaving none exposed by 20 doing.
There is no loss in this way, and the
fodder is always dry and free from ice
and snow.-Ohio Farmer.

hay IN THE STACK.
But Progressive Farmers Pre-
fer the Use of Scalca

At seasons Of the year when hay
Is being sold in the stack. there Is
more or less demand for rules Of
= Tf'sIT' g'f "sIT stove is placed.ill approximate
L yesterdags IL stacka
.n ufgiving . seven-foot
,a... : 3 cubic feet for q ton Of
hay. which was in use years ago, in
some localities, has not proven sat-
isfactory to the buyers of hay. the
universal claim being that the meas
urement does not hold out with
scale weights.
It has more recently been sug-
gested that a ton OF dry hay should
be variously estimated from 400 to
500 cubic feet, depending upon the
solidity of the stack, the quality or
kind of hay and its aptitude to pack
closely
The following rule M given for the
measurement Of hay In ricks or long
stacks: Multiply the length in feet
by the width in feet, and the result
by one-half the height: divide the
product by 900. and the result will
be In tons.
To estimate the contents Of b
round stack, multiply the square Of
the distance around the stack lat the
bulge in yards BY four times the
height in yards, and point of two
places from the right: this win be
the number Of cubic yards in the
stack, which divided by 20 will equal
Tho number Of tons.
While these measurements may as
sist in approximately getting at the
contests of stack, there are so
many factors besides bulk entering
into the weight Of hay in . stack
tha. there is much more satisfaction
when IL can be weighed that we urge
farmers in every case where posi-

The WoodchncE.

Perhaps no wild animal Is more IA
mlliar to country people than the wood
chuck. Every hillside and meadow is
dotted with the small piles Of earth
which mark the doorway to his home.
The woodchuck prefers hillside or
knoll in which to dig his hole, for here
he can easily make the end of his den
higher than the beginning, thus avoid
ing the danger Of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in general
appearance than woodchuck and
squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both
belonging to the same family Of NAM
mails. The trim body, sharp claws and
agility of the squirrels make it posi-
BILE for them to lead an arboreal life,
jumping recklessly from branch to
branch. while the f1abby form and
short legs of the woodchuck better
adapt him for digging than for run
ming or climbing.
The nature of the food Of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do, nor is it Of
such a kind that it can be obtained
creature during the winter seems to be,
therefore, one Of "sleep long and

none is commoner than those which
come from the roots mu and blu, "to

am, "bull;" the Turkic en-ek, "cow;"
the Egyptian am, "cattle," and the
Mongol buku, 'bull," but more dis
tinctive word is tor, which seems to
mean probably "horned" and which
appears not only as taurus, but as the
Semitic thor and the Mongol shor.
The bull, whether tanned or wild, was
no doubt well known to early man.
The names for goats are also sugges-
tive of connection and include the Ar
yam ais, the Semitic az and probably
the Akkadian w.

Washington's birthday was made
legal holiday by vote Of the Massachu-
setts legislature April Is, 1856; there
fore Feb. %, 1857, was first legal
holiday. For many years previous
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis held recep-
ton at her home on Feb. %, to which
all the people Of the city of Boston
were invited. Her house was open to
the public on that day, and before and
after the day became legal holiday
all the military companies Of Boston
would parade past her house on the
22d. Probably the first occasion of
Washington's birthday being recog-
nized was Feb. IL, 1881. That was by
the French troops at Newport, r. 1. AS
the 18th fell on Sunday, the celebra-
ton was held on the 18th. This was
according to the old style Of reckoning.
