village feeding where oats and hay
were used as supplementary feeds was
1856, where shock corn with oats and
hay were fed 337.91 pounds, differ
ence of 47.45 pounds per acre in favor
of system Of silage feeding.
So far as the cost of harvesting and
feeding crops for the production Of
beef is concerned in the net profits of
the enterprise it should be borne in
mind that it will probably require near
ly twice as great an expenditure Of la
Dor and capital in system Of silage
feeding as in n system of shock corn
feeding.
The silage fed steers were in much
better thrift and flesh at the end of the
experiment than were the shock corn
fed steers.
In case of the silage fed steers 97.69
per cent of the meat produced was
beef and 2.31 per cent pork. In case of
the shock corn fed steers S4.22 per cent
of the meat produced was beef and
1878 per cent was pork. This clearly
shows that pork production is an i'm
portant factor in system of feeding
shock corn for beef production, while
1T may be entirely eliminated from a
system of silage feeding for beef pro-
duction practically without loss.
1t should be noted that the silage fed
lot consumed less feed than the shock
corn lot and less feed per pound of
gain whether beef alone is considered
or beef and pork combined. The
amount of dry matter required to pro-
duce a pound of gain of meat where
the corn was fed in the form of silage
was 652 pounds; where fed in the
form of shock corn it was 857 pounds.
With an average daily ration to each
steer fed silage of 26 pounds silage,
pounds oats and 4.55 pounds Of mixed
hay an average daily gain of 1.6S
pounds was secured for a period OF
eighty-eight days. With an average
daily ration to each steer fed shock

RAIDING THE FEDERAL SIGNAL STATION.
steep under cover of the fog, the gray
troopers dropped down upon the sta
tion like visitors from the skies. Two
Federal officers in the station made a
rush for life and escaped, but the pri-
vate soldiers We're captured and all the
flags and equipments. Thus the last
danger was suppressed, for, barring
signals, Stuart's troopers could travei
as fast as anything In the Army Of the
Potomac. All Stuart asked was clear
road to get beyond the camps of that
widely scattered army. In fact, he was
prepared to fight for the road against
any common foe and carried with the
cavalcade four guns of the horse bat
terry commanded by Major John Pei
ham, the noted boy artillerist.
In spite of the cleverness OF Stuart in
passing the ford the Federal troops
nearest the river heard of the expedi-
tion and sent word of it to headquar-
ters. Meanwhile the raiders galloped
on to Mercersburg, across the line in
Pennsylvania. Even the strange garb
OF the ConfcderateS Clunt open the
eyes of the people along the route, for
1t was impossible to believe that 900
southern horsenlen would cross the
border in the face of 100000 soldiers
encamped along the river. The chief
business of the raiders was selling
horses. Scattering over wide stretch
of country the troopers gathered in

HOW QUAILS HIDE.
Although the Man Could Not See the
Bird the Pup Was Right.

Although the Man Could Not See the
Bird the Pup Was Right.
We are all more or less inclined to
dispute the unusual incidents reported
by observant brother sportmen and if
shown by saying, II never saw any
such thing" The claim has been
made that quail will lay dead leaf
over it's back when laying close" in
the woods, and this l have always
thought an appropriate extract from a
pretty fairy tale and pitied any one
who could be gulled by such a very
transparent fable.
One day while hunting quail a covey
flushed wild and scattered in the
woods. My companion took the old
dog and l the pup, and we proceeded
to beat up the cover. The first point
the pup made was at the foot of a
small tree, where the trees stood thick,
but where the ground was stony and
was covered only with thin patches of
dead leaves.
Taking the direction Of the dogs
eyes, l passed close by his head and,
brushing by the tree at the foot of
which he stood. walked on 10 or Is
feet, but flushed nothing.
Going back to the dog, l carefully
took the direction of his eyes and look
ing closely discovered sitting between
the roots of the tree within span of
my foot the bird and lying well over
its back was large dead oak leaf
placed in such manner as to convince
me beyond all shadow of doubt that
the bird had placed it there.
My reputation for veracity is fairly
good, but wish that pup could also
make statement in this case, for he
and were the only witnesses of this,
to me, strange and interesting Incl
dent.

1.-THE MAN WITH THE ADZE." /"
How the Butchers Chopping Block
Is Kept Smooth and Neat.

now tne butcher's ChOPptng Block
Is Kept Smooth and Neat.
A constructive rather than a destruc-
tive force implied by the name is 1.-The
man with the adze." who is sometimes
seen by early corners to the meat mar
kets.
Most persons have doubtless observ-
ed the large blocks upon which butch
ers trim their steaks and chops The
top of the block is usually as smooth
as glass, but the constant chopping of
meat thereon roughens the surface
eventually. The general idea seems to
be that the butcher keeps his block
smooth by merely saving off the rough
section. Such, however, is not the case
Specialism has even entered here
The man who makes a business of
smoothing the butchers blocks appears
at the meat markets early in the morn
ing before the customers arrive He
rolls the big block to the sidewalk,
then mounts to the top of it, adze in
hand. Bringing it down swiftly from
a vertical position above his head, the
blade is made to pass between his legs,
skimming the surface of the block with
great dexterity.
At each stroke a thin layer of the
rough wood is removed. The operation
is continued sufficiently to satisfy the
butchers requirements. Some three
bours are ordinarily consumed in the
operation, and at the end of that time
"the man with the adze" finds himself
richer by $1.-New York Times.

A Handy Fodder stack.

How best to stack corn fodder to
keep and be handiest in getting at
when feeding is often question given
much thought by the farmer. This
method possesses many advantages
that will recommend it above others;
Set two posts twelve or sixteen feet
apart where you wish the stack to be.
Across from one to the other, four and
a half or five feet from the ground,
spike by 4. Stand the fodder
against this with the butts on the
ground and the smaller ends coming
together ut the top. There should be
a space of two or three feet at the bot
tom. This will give the rat, dog and
cat an opportunity to keep the stack
clear of mice. This stack will turn the
rain and snow of winter, will keep dry
and bright and when used will not be
opened to the weather, as no stalks are
left exposed by removing the top
