At the present writing we have no
desire to hurl ourselves into Abra-
hams bosom, but if we should desire
to do SO we wouldn't lean up against
a double-barreled gun and then tread
on the trigger as many do. Neither
would we eat a square meal OF trough
on.rats," blow out the gas, drink con.
centrated lye, sit down in the lap Of a
buzz-suw, smoke cigarette, or call a
'Kentuckian a liar and poor Judge OF
liquor. We would simply get out an
edition OF our paper in which we would
strive to the very beat OF our ability
to print the plain, squaretoed truth
about the people as we understand it,
and then calmly await the end.

OF IMMENSE VALUE.


Ask mon who have made practice
OF feeding shredded fodder why they
do 1t, and they will tell you that they
feed It because their cattle. horses and
sheep like it so well and thrive 30 well
upon 1t, and because they cannot afford
to let 1t go to waste and feed hay which
could be sold for two or three times a.
much a. the prepared fodder costs.
When the farmer computes the cost OF
cutting and shreddinS his fodder 1t looks
high, but he must remember that, Al
though It does cost him from $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton, 1t takes the place Of hay
which has market value of from two
to three times that amount. Men who
have made q practice of feeding shredded
fodder state that It cost from three to
five dollars an acre to prepare it, and
that an acre of average corn will yield
from ~ to ~ tons of dry fodder. They
say further that ton of fodder has as
much or perhaps more feed value than
ton of average hay. Corn used for
shredding is bound and shocked when
the grains are well dented and glazed
over, but before the stalk has shown
much signs of ripening. When thor

FEED GRAIN TO FOALS.

In cases where the brood mare must

splendid ration, and so much the better
II these can be mixed with a little bran,

Indicator 1t should be fed in manger

such quantity as will be eaten up clean.
If handled in this way, the colt from the
working mare may be kept in good flesh
and will make practically as much

whose dam IL allowed to run idle In
this case the weaving period is passed
through without any Injurious effect to
the colt, 50 that at no time is the strong,
healthy growth interrupted. It some
times happens that corn is more plenti-
tul tlaaa oats or bran, and there is some
temptation to feed little too much corn.
This, however. 10 q mistake. It will be
profitable to sell the corn and buy oats,
because with horses selling at present
prices there is no form Of feeding done

THE ROAD TO oRuMeLETowN,

TITS quite a straight and easy road
That leads to Grumbletown,
And those who wish can always md
A chance to journey down.
IT'S customary for the trip
TO choose a rainy day #--f'
When weather's fine ones not SO apt ~
To care to go that way.
Just keep down Fretful Lane until
You come to Sulky Stile,
Where travellers often like to rest :;
In silence for awhile.
And then cross over Pouting Bridge,
Where Don't Care Brook flows down
And just a little way beyond !
You come to Grumbletown.
From what 1 learn. this Grumbletown
Is not a pleasant place;
One never hears a cheerful word,
Or sees smiling face;
The children there are badly spoiled
And sure to fret ard tease,
And all the grown-up people. too.
Seem cross and hard to please.
The weather rarely is just right
In this peculiar spot:
'Tis either raining all the time,
Or else too cold, or hot.
The books are stupid as can be;
The games are dull and old:
There's nothing new and nothing nice
In Grumbletown, I'm told.
And so I've taken pains. my dears.
The easiest road to show.
That you may all be very sure
You never. never go!
