FEEDING Dat Straw.

From the Farmers Review: Do you
think 1t a good plan to have oat straw
stacked In pasture. SO stock can run
to it in winter? How does straw af.
feet mich cows?-Chas. p. Power.
Sangamon county, Illinois.
We consider the use of oat straw in
this manner wasteful and not calcu.
lated to give best results with cattle.
It is better to cut the stack with hay
knife and feed straw from racks as
required along with corn fodder and
other foods. Care must be taken to
supply plenty of water and salt when
cattle are eating straw to prevent con-
stipation. Bright oat straw is excel.
lent food for mich cows when fed in
conjunction with other foods. A favor
lite plan Of feeding II is to run 1t
through a cutter. then wet and mix
with meals or pulped roots and mo
lasses. A sprinilling of the latter will
make such food palatable. In our
opinion, where the straw is fed from
stack as you propose the food is
soiled. bleached ard rendered less
nutritious.

Potato Alcohol seome !.

No less a parsonage than the Ger
man Emperor is reported to be boom
ing the use Of potato alcohol. He
wishes to create a stronger demand
for an article that the German farm
ers can produce in abundance, He
believes That as source OF heat the
potato can be made to supp!ant coal
to some extent and to still greater
extent take the place of gasoline. In
many of the small motors used he
believes that potato alcohol can be
employed to advantage. In accordance
with the wishes of the Emperor, po-
tato alcohol is to be used in the mo.
tors of the harbor boats at Bremen
haven, and it is reported that one OF
the international steam packet COM
panies has agreed to do the same
thing. According to the reports Herr
Krupp Is to use alcohol in his motors
for shifting guns. The motors in use
by the army and navy are to use this
fuel as far as possible.

Fattenlna Sheep in the Corn Belt.

Prof. W. A. Henry: A new indus
try has sprung up within the corn
belt in the last decade-that Of fat
tening plains" sheep in the corn
wing centers. In the winter of 1889
and 1890 there were fattened in the
state Of Nebraska $4,000 head of
plains sheep, the great corn crop of
that year forming the basis Of op-
erations. Briefly the system is as
follows: During the summer, plains
sheep are purchased in New Mexico.
Colorado, or other western ranges.
These sheep are gradually moved
eastward, grazing as they CO. Often
they are dipped en- route to destroy
scab or make sure there is no scab,
the bane of the feeder under this
system. By the time corn is ripe
the sheep have reached some place
where it is on sale in vast quantities
and at a low price. A corral or en-
closure is made Of pickets, and into
this the sheep are driven, 10 remain
until fattened. Sometimes there are
sheds for shelter, usually not Often

punches and fed at a single point.
Wild hay is unloaded against the
picket fence, through which the sheep
feed. The only labor in handling the
hay after unloading is for an at
tendant to keep 1t moved up close
to the fence. From one and half
to two bushels of corn fed in troughs
are required PEI day for 100 head Of
sheep. To this is usually added few
pounds of oil meal. The feeding con.
tinues about 100 days, the sheep
gaining on an average about Is
pounds per head during that time.
The profit comes mainly from in
creasing the original value of the
sheep. The industry is an irregular
and uncertain one. II scab breaks
out, as it is liable to do, there is
often heavy loss to the feeder
Again, the profit depends upon the
price of corn, which varies greatly
from year to year and cannot be
foretold much in advance of the time
of feeding.
Large numbers of Montana sheer
are fed in much the same manner in
Minnesota on the screenings from
mills and elevators. This feed Is
proving excellent for the purpose. Be-
cause Of bits of straw and chaff in
the screenings, fattening sheep do
not surfeit so easily on screenings as
on corn, and they may even be fed
without giving any hay in addition.

Chicago, ILL.,. Aug. 11th.-Mr. Vail.
berg of 222 South Peoria St, this
city, had for years been an invalid

BILE which was fast Fastening him to

tn. sIl.nes Of sorrow.

Far better the silence of sorrow
q an the sound OF it. Far better the
smile of trust than the tears Of doubt.
Far better the calm. serene brow than
the wrinkles of petulance. The child
that believes in his mother laughs
Mt the foot that overturns his castle
Of blocks, and with shout of glee he
builds again the ruined towers into
greater height. So do those who be-
iieve in God bear His strokes and take
up the broken life and rear it
into loftier spiritual attainment.
Those who sulk and complain behold
naught except blight and loss. And
is there anywhere in the world a sad
der sight than that of dispirited
man or woman? All, yes, In the
silence of sorrow many temple of
nobler living has risen grandly to the
bending skies of Gods love, like that
which Solomon planned. upon which
the noise of workmans tools was not
heard. Out of quietness of soul
such as this have reached the hands
that have swung bells celestial into
peals of joy.-Presbyterian Journal.
Commenting on the fondness of
young students to use long words and
Latin quotations in order not to ap-

New York, says: Il once knew a
promising candidate who was given
charge of funeral in the absence of
the pastor of the church. He knew
that it was customary for the minister
to announce after the sermon that
those who wished should step up 20
view the remains, but he thought this
was too hackneyed a phrase, and he
said instead: The congregation will
now pass around the bier"
