MANY Fields oF CORN RUINED.
Farmers Are Cutting and Shocking it
For Forage.

The Times Recorder was informed
yesterday that upon many farms in
Sumter, particularly to the west and
north Of Americas, the farmers are
now cutting down fields of corn in or
der to utilize it as forage for stock
The drouth, of many weeks duration,
has literally ruined crops in some ror-
tions of the county and the only way in
which it can be used to advantage is to
cut the corn, stalks and all, for forage,
In other portions of Sumter the sea-
sons have been more propitious, but to
the northwest of the city the corn is
practically worthless in some localities,

DAVID BULGER's WIFE DID NOT
READ PAPERS TO HIM.
He Alleged that He Lost Toucb
with Current Events-News of
the Courts.

Judge feathers granted a decree of d.
vorce yesterday to Ella Bulger In her suit
against her husband, David BuIger. after
the case was heard. During the trial il de-
veIoped that the defendants cruel treat
ment Of the wife. as alleged in her COM
plant, commenced two weeks after their
marriage, and that it grew out of her hus-
bands inclination TO boss her. IT was
testified that on one occasion he came home
very angry and said. "I thought when I
married you I married a woman with sense
but instead find that I am married to a
fool To explain this remark it seems
that he had paid for the newspapers daily.
expecting his wife to keep him In touch
with current events, and instead she had
left it to him to secure his own news.
on one occasion he heard that a friend
of his had died and his wife failed to
let him know Of 1t, so that he might pre-
pare for the funeral. She got him ready
for the funeral in time, however. and
the two went to the deceased friends
residence TO find that the dead man was
a stranger TO both. Then the husband
became very angry and said his wife
should have had more sense than to make
him a party to such a foolish mistake.
Judge feathers concluded that this domes-
tic condition would not be productive of
peace and quiet, and granted the decree.

Massachusetts Ploughman.

Massachusetts Ploughman.
Attempts nave been made by a number
of experienced breeders in this State to
produce a uniformity of weight in steers
fed for the market, and some quite re-
markable results have been obtained. One
batch of a score of steers were raised on
the farm so that they averaged 1900 pounds
each after six months Of good feeding.
They were fed ZIP to this time on a uniform
ration, which caused a steady and con-
tinuous growth, but Ii was impossible to
maintain the uniformity of weight there
after. While at six months of feeding
they weighed less than twenty-five pounds
difference when taken singly, they grad
ually widened this until at the end Of the
year the heaviest had a gain of seventy
five pounds over the highest. The grain
feed was the same for all the cattle, and
they were treated In every possible way
just the same.
The question which has been raised by
this experiment is whether 1T is not pos
sible to keep a uniformity of standard
weight In steers up to six months much
easier than TO a year. In the first six
months the steers all showed a steady and
continuous gain, which showed that their
food agreed with them, and brought out the
best there was in their natures; but after
that period their constitutions changed a
little. Inherited gifts and tendencies be-
gan to develop in some. and they slowly
OutgTew the others.
If this theory is true, it is much more
satisfactory to secure breeds that will keep
a uniformity of standard weight up to the
time they are ready for marketing. The
loss on the few which dropped back in the
feeding experiment would in the aggregate
amount to "A considerable item. IF course,
breed alone will not settle the question::
nor breed and feed together. The individ-
ual will show characteristics that will de-
velop In spite Of breed and feed. But If
one can make 1T a point to select the in
dividual according to the highest standard
of merit from the best breeds, and then
feed them satisfactorily, the results should
be such a uniformity Of standard weight
which would enable a man 70 Calculate in
advance within fifty pounds the exact
weight of his whole bunch.

Cattle Quickly Fattened.

Philadelphia Record.
A Chicago man has recently invented q
method for fattening cattle, which. IL is
declared. will reduce the cost one-half. and
thus bring down the price of beef. The in
vention consists of a large case made OF
galvanized iron, about three and a half
feet wide and deep and FIVE feet high. The
case contains a number Of shallow draw
ers, In which corn can be placed In layers
about three inches deep. All around the
outside OF the case, on the top and four
sides, In a layer of common wood moss.
such as grows In the woods everywhere.
This moss Is about three inches thick and
is compressed by wire netting, so that it
forms practically a sponge. capable Of alb
sorbing q large amount Of water. The core
is placed in the drawers and water poured
into the moss. Almost Immediately a pro-
cess Of sprouting begins hat in three or four
days converts the hard grain into a mass
OF tender young shoots, fed by the soft
ened pulp. IL Is then ready for feeding and
is taken out of the drawers. fresh corn
being substituted, and the process Of sprout-
ing repeated IL is declared that the best
kind of beef Is produced by this system OF
feeding. that 1t Is firm and tender and the
fat distributed throughout the lean, and
that all the corn is digestible instead of
one-half, as in ordinary feeding. The moss
has to be renewed once a year, and the
case will last for twenty years. A COM
pany has been formed to exploit the in
vention.

The real value Of a farm IL fits capacity
to produce. 1t is really a s~torehouse Of
raw materials which are manufactured into
salable products, and may contain a mine
of wealth requiring but the labor to bring
it to the surface. Every pound of plant
food returned to the soil is an investment
for the future. In addition to the gain
from the feeding stufs purchased there
are crops rich In nitrogen which draw upon
the atmosphere, through the agency of
minute organisms. for supplies Of nitrogen,
even the roots. after the crops are har-
vested, enr:ching the soil. The nitrogen
gathering plants are limited in number,
but all plants have the power Of deriving
carbonic acid from the atmosphere, and
from this comes the fat and starch. The
corn plant contains large quantities of fat
and starch, but is deficient in mineral mat
meal and middlings abound largely in the
the farmer to feed his corn and fodder in
connection with the concentrated foods
mentioned. as he is sure to gain largely
in the manure. Estimating nitrogen at
Is cents per pound. and 100 pounds in a
ton of 1000 pounds. the value of the nitro
gen is $3.50, and as the food also contains
about $3.50 worth Of potash and ~phosphoric
acid, it's real value as a fertilizer is s23.
In addition, il also contains about 100
pounds of fat and 800 pounds of starch
per ton. This the farmer saves by using
it as food, although a portion of the nitro
gen and mineral matter is appropriated
by the animals and sold at a higher price
in the forms Of milk and meat.

Brayton's subject was THE Farm and the

fetal influence Of this branch OF American
industry TO the people of the country, but
through an unavoidable accident, the man
,Iscript of the paper was lost and he was
forced TO give an extemporaneous discourse
On "Pimples.' His discussion of this very
bothersome facial complaint was a humor-
ons one. and he advised the pupils of the
SCHOOL to accept the vicissitudes and trou-
HES of this life as p"hilosophically as the
ordinary person accepts the pimples. which
are wont to spring forth from a clear skin
and cause all manner of regrets and en-
harrassments. Prefacing his discussion Of
nimples. he gave a short advisory talk to
he bovs present of the benefit of educa-
fion TO them. and advised them to stick"
RI their studies and promised a future for
Zach how who would prove meritorious in his

A Good TIN.

There was a man who longed for fame
But wouldn't tip.
He pined for cheers that never came
But wouldn't tip.
He put up at the best hotels
But wouldn't tip.
He mixed with all the bowling swells-
But wouldn't tip.
At last, when getting his shoes shined,
By some queer slip,
Or some odd caprice Of his mind.
He gave a tip.
The bootblack promptly bowed to him;
A how came from a bellboy slim;
A porter humbly bent his head;
The waiter bowed and served the bread:
And then the big w came
And very nicely did the same;
The clerk-the noble hotel clerk
Bowed down to him with gentle jerk;
And when he walked the corridor
The very grave proprietor
Unbent completely, struck a pose.
And bowed until his coat tails rose;
When this was seen by every guest
Each bowed to him like all the rest;
From there the wave swept to the street,
And folks would all bow and repeat;
OF course, this had a prompt effect,
Just as a person should expect,
For interviews the journalists,
With huge lead pencils IN their fists,
Requested him, in missfves sage,
And ran his picture on the page
The page that all would fain be on
The very frst-and ere they'd gone
The politicians came to state
That ne should be a candidate;
And after that his fame was sure,
And would from age to age endure.
And when the folks all knew his name
He didn't tip.
For he had won such lots of fame
He needn't tip.
