Excellent Winter Food.

Turnips and carrots make excellent
winter food. For cattle they should
be sliced with root slicer. which does
the work very rapidly. Even poultry
can consume such foods when the ma
terials are sliced. The way to prepare
sliced roots is to sprinkle cornmeal
and bran over the mess and give it to
the cattle or fowls at least once day.
The advantages are that such foods
are succulent, easily digested and they
afford change from the usual dry
rations. Ensilage should also be given
If there is supply on hand. but the
root crops will be found excellent. no
matter what the other foods may be.

Mulchins the Strawberry Beds,


The most successful growers of straw
berries in the country have decided that
spring cultivation Is not desirable, al
though for years this was the universal
practice. They do the cultivation for
the year after the plants have fruited,
md in the winter mulch the plants
lightly, putting on only sufficient to
Keep the plants from being heaved out
Of the ground by the alternate freezing
and thawing of the soil In late winter
and carly spring. The mulch is left on
by some growers until after the picking
season, when 1t is raked up in piles and
burned to destroy the insects in 1t; 9TH
or growers rake the mulch off in the
late spring and burn 1t, applying fresh
mulch, which is allowed to remain dur.
ing the season and until after picking
Either plan is good, but the main thing
Is to apply the mulch and do 1t MS soon
rs the ground is frozen. While the
plants may not need protection from
the winter, the mulch will assist in pro-
tccting the crowns and the delicate run
ners and new plants which set late in
the season, and 1t keeps the soil from
becoming compacted by the heavy rains
of winter. In all sections where there
is winter, mulch is desirable for straw
berry plants, and as it costs but little
and is quickly applied, there is no en-
cuse for not doing the work and reap

neighbors onct had when lived down
In Kansas. They used to spend every
livin' thing they could scrape together
a-lawin' Of it over line fences. Gilrs
cows would break through Jones'
fence and destroy his corn, and Jones
would set his dog onto 'em and MAIN
one or two, and Gill's boy would shoot
the dog. and Jones would lick the boy.
Then Gill would sue Jones for not
keeping up his fence, and Jones would
turn round and sue Gill for the dam
aged corn, and Gill would sue Jones
for the damaged cattle, and Jones
would sue Gill for the damaged dog,
and Gill would sue Jones for the dam
aged boy; and the outcome of the
whole performance would be that Gill
would have left damaged COW and
a damaged boy and Jones would have
a damaged fence and some damaged
corn and damaged dog, and after
both havin used good deal of dam
aged language they would find their
bank accounts badly damaged and the
lawyers would get the benefit of the
harvest.-Field and Farm.

No Excuse for Delay,

Now that Congress has appropriated
100000. thanks to the Democrats, to
prosecute the trusts, the admlnlstru-
tion can have no further excuse for
not gathering the evidence that will
put some of the trust magnates be-
hind the bars. The criminal section of
the antitrust law is stringent enough
to bring amy trust baron to time, if it
can be shown that he has combined to
raise prices or to restrict Interstate
commerce. There should be no difficult
ty In proving these criminal acts
against some of the coal barons. The
Attorney General of the United States
now-has Il great opportunity to show
that he is>ablc and willing to do his
duty, If he Is at all slack or negligent.

Feeding Damaged Corn Fodder
1t is utterly useless to feed damaged
corn fodder to cattle that are designed
for market, for they will not gain a
pound Of fat on 1t. If possible, avoid
feeding the frosted fodder at all, but If
1t must be given the stock, furnish 1t
only after they have been well grained
and had fair supply of good rough
age; give 1t to them largely for the pur.
pose of keeping them busy when they
are in the barn between meals They
Will eat n little of it and break up most
of 1t, SO that 1t can afterward go to the
hogs to nose over and from there to the
manure heap. In many sections the oat
crop was heavy, but in many instances
badly damaged. If too badly damaged
to sell to advantage, it may be fed, to-
gether with barley and oilmeal, to great
advantage, giving it freely to cattle
that are being fattened us well as to
mich COWS. In feeding this mixture
the oats and barley should be ground
together and the oilmeal added after
ward and well mixed through.

which passed the house two years ago

was carefully framed and passed unop-
posed-has lain ever since in n Senate
