How to Grind Kaffir Corn.

l thought it might be Of interest to
many of your readers to know how to
grind Kaffir corn, as most sweep mills
will not grind it fine, and the millers
want too much for grinding it. II the
burr is quite worn, so much the better.
Have the Kaff1r corn dry, put a bas-
ketful into good, solid barrel, chop
with long-handled, sharp spade; add
some more heads and chop, and so. on.
Fill your mill and continue to chop
and grind. You can have it fine as
flour If you like, and it makes fine
swill to feed thick or thin. The KAT
fir corn stem keeps the seed from feed
ing too fast and it grinds nicely, but
not so fast as corn, probably about
five bushels per hour. This depends
on how fine you grind it.-C. ]. Hug

enough spasmodic theorization on
teaching practical agriculture and es-
tnetlc nature study in country districts
mas been expended to pay off the ma
lional debt, says the Rural World. Let
US pass into the next stage of the argu-
nent and get down to ways and
means. II our children are to receive
elementary instruction in chemistry,
SOIL physics, vegetable biology, botany
ana all the rest Of the list, it follows
lha1 some one must teach them. How
many are really capable Of teaching
anything beyond the "a, b, abs" with
their hands tied behind them? 1t is
not enough that teacher may call up
the class in geography and perfume
torlly conduct a recitation with her
eyes glued to the book. A teacher
should inspire pupils with the love Of
study. He should make the recita-
ton interesting. All this applies not
only to the teachings of agriculture
but to all branches taught in the coun-
try school, and serves to emphasize
the need Of adopting the central or
township school system. It Is very
dlncult for any teacher to develop the
proper interest and enthusiasm in the
work of any branch of study with
only an attendance of two Or three
pupils. On the other hand, it Is a
great waste to employ good teachers
for only two or three students when
they can better instruct several times
that number. Under the present sys-
where the number of pupils is no
larger than the above. When the cen
tralized plan is adopted it will be pos
sible with the same outlay to supply a
much better class Of instruction in all
branches and with "a per cent of the
be possible to obtain an instructor for
each Of the remainder that would be
competent to give instruction in the
elementary principles Of agriculture.
We believe our agricultural colleges
have the capacity to turn out such in
structors as fast as they would be
wanted for such positions; and, as in
all other things, whenever a demand
is created the supply will be forthcom-
ing. The instruction may be crude at
the start, as are most new enterprises;
but everything must have a beginning
and strength Is gained by growth and
experience. Some OF the European
countries have been going ahead of us
in putting these things into practice.
For example. in the rural districts of
Sweden garden Is attached to every
school, and the children receive prac-
teal instruction in the cultivation of
flowers, fruits and vegetables, and in
the management Of hot beds, green
houses and so forth.

Duck and Olive Sauce.

Put two dozen olives into a china
bowl and pour hot water over them;
let them remain in this for twenty min
utes to draw out the brine. Put two
tablespoonfuls Of salad oil in frying
pan and add one slice of onion, and
when this commences to color, add one
ounce of -four. Stir until smooth; after
it has cooked for two minutes, add one
pint Of stock and let simmer. Pare the
olives around, taking out the stone.
Place the olives in the sauce; add the
juice Of one-half lemon, salt and pep

Pasture for Hogs.

The value Of good pasture for hogs
cannot be overestimated. 1t furnishes
health giving, succulent forage, to Sc
cure which the hog takes early morn
ing constitutionals and Is made healthy
thereby. He eats much of the grass
and less of corn, and thereby Is ex-
pense saved his owner, and he lays on
fat faster than If on a full grain ra-
ton. Disease does not bother the
pasture fed hog. A healthy hog, well
fed, means profit in It's owners pocket
A good pasture insures this.-Farm

Food for FatteninR Fowls.

Always fatten a fowl as quickly as
possible. Ten days is long enough to
get a fowl fat, and it should be con-
fined either In a coop or number In
small yard. Give plenty of fresh
water, and feed four times day, be-
ginning early and giving the last meal
late. A mixture of corn meal, three
parts, ground oats, one part, shorts,
one part, crude tallow, one part, scald-
ed. IS the best for the first three meals,
with all the corn and wheat that can
be eaten up clean at night. Weigh
the articles given, and do not feed by

Revelations of the Seed Tester.

Revelations OF the Oeeu AeStcTs
In test of five hundred varieties Of
lettuce by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, it was found that
1872 of them were Black-Seeded Tennis
Ball under other names. A sample Of
crimson clover seed, costing 1915 per
bushel, contained SO little live seed
that $7O4 worth would contain only
a bushel of good seed. Some Kentucky
Bluegrass was so poor that a pound Of
live seed would have cost S2.1S. and
sample Of timothy tested at the rate
OF $47 per bushel for the live seed.
Some Of the seeds sprouted well
enough, but the plants were of the
wrong kind. Thus q sample Of alleged
clover seed contained $4,000 weed
seeds In a pound, or at the rate OF
twenty million per bushel. Such re-
suits explain the cause of some mys-
terious crop failures and equally
strange invasions Of new weeds.

How Fruit Men Co-operate.

Cooperation in fruit selling has
reached an advanced stage in the Mich
1gan apple belt. For instance, in the
case Of the Fruit Growers Association
Of Ludington, the stock amounts to five
hundred shares, and each subscriber
must take at least one share for five
acres Of orchard. The company owns
a large packing house, with q side
track on one side and a wagon drive
on the other. There Is a wide veranda
on both sides, enclosed with Stats. Six
roller grades, which separate the fruit
into three sizes, are used. Baskets are
stored in the second story, and drop
down through chutes to the packing
tables, which are covered with canvas.
When the fruit is delivered, each man
receives credit for the proper number
Of bushels of the given varieties. The
fruit Is then graded and packed, and
each person receives his share OF the
proceeds when the fruit is sold. The
secretary Of the company looks after
the buying and selling, and has charge
Of the packing house. In this way
uniform product is secured which large
buyers can depend upon, and the mid
dleman and his exactions are excluded.

Death Of christen Arneson,

After q thirteen years residence in
this city, Christen Arneson, one of the
old settlers in the county, passed
away at his home in the First ward
early last Saturday morning. Death
occurred at 2:30. The immediate
cause of death is announced as rheum-

of 80 years, passing the eightieth mile
stone, Oct 3 The end came after q
brief illness, the deceased being con-
fined to his bed only two days, al

for some time.
Christen Arneson was among the
early settlers who arrived in Kandi-
yohi county in 1869. Before remov-
ing to the city he made his home on
the farm southwest OF Willmar now
occupied by M G. Tollefson. Dur
ing his "a years. residence in the
county he had seen the little burgh of
Willmar grow into a city of nearly
5000 inhabitants and had endured
much of the hardship incident to the
pioneer days in this county.
Deceased had been united in mar
riage twice, the wife of his second un-
ion passing away Aug. S. Two
adopted sons are the only surviving
members of the family. They are
Rev. I. G. Tollefson, who is in the
Lutheran ministry at New York City,
and who is we'll known here, and John
E. Anderson, who is resident of this
county, living on farm near Priam.
The funeral will be held Saturday
