HooKER'S COLLAPSE.

When, on Thursday night, Hooker had
concentrated his four corps at Chancellors-
vile, the real character Of the movement,
which, up to that point. had been 80 ad-
mirably concealed from his antagonist, be-
came fully disclosed. The Confederate lead
er saw that the demonstrations near Fred
ericksburg that had engaged his attention
were but mask. and that the turn of af-
fairs called for the promptest action Lee,
with instant perception of the situation,
now seized the masses of his force. and
with the grasp of Titan swung them into
position as a giant might fling a mighty
stone from sling. 15) One division and
one brigade-the division of Early and the
brigade of Barksdale intrusted with
the duty of holding the nights of Freder-
icksburg; and, at midnight of Thursday,
Jackson and McLaws. and the rest of his
divisions, recalled from Fredericksburg,
and from far below Fredericksburg, were
put in motion toward Charlottesville to
meet Hooker with a front of opposition be-
fore he should be able, by advancing from
Charlottesville, to seize the direct Con-
federate communications with Richmond.
If the Confederate commander was able
to effect this purpose, it was because the
Union commander allowed him so to do

not cross the Rappahannock till the morn
ing the 18th, and had thus far made very
insufficient progress.
But, instead of "ingloriously flying,
Lee preferred to come out of his defences''
and give battle to Hooker; and, unhappily
for that General, the circumstances under
which he chose to receive battle, in place
of insuring Lees certain destruction" as
he had vaunted, resulted in the disastrous
termination of a campaign thus brilliant
ly opened. Now, as these circumstances
furnish the key to the right appreciation
OF the whole action, shall, in the succeed
ing chapter, set them forth with some full
ness of detail.

I would like to give our method OF

is effective and humane and generally
only a few lessons are necessary To
convince the most unruly cow that she
must stand still while being MIXED.
We take a lug strap from harness.
which is one inch wide and about two
feet long. Standing on the right side of
the COW, the strap is taken by the
buckle end in the left hand and pass

is brought backward between the
cows legs and is given one or two turns

and securely buckled tight enough So
that it cannot be pulled down over the
joint, but not tight enough to proven
the COW from standing comfortably Al,
long as she behaves herself.
The cow is not so badly frightened
with her legs confined in this way as
she is with one tied to the floor. and i.
is impossible for her to kick or lift eth
err foot, sufficiently to disturb the
mixer. If no harshness is used She
soon finds that being MIXED is not such
an awful hardship, after all, and grace.

Or RACKS. and moreover the digesuDll-
ity of fodder corn and silage are near
ly the same, both being somewhat ies'
digestibe than green corn. Dali.
cows, as a rule, have given better re.
suits when fed silage than when Zee
equal amounts of corn fodder. a con
siderable portion of the dry corn fodde
is not consumed by the stock but al
the silage can be eaten.
On the other hand. the stock likes
the silage better than the corn fodder
and will consume more OF 1T, thereby
leaving more nutriment to form milk
after the wants of the body have beer
supplied. The real merits of the silo
can be summed up as follows:
/. Silage is more palatable the yeal
thru than dry corn fodder.
2. 1t is succulent, which makes q
satisfactory substitute for grass.
3. Stock will consume more silage
than dry roughage.
4. 1t greatly increases the number
of animals that can be kept on a giver
acreage.
5. The silo assures plenty of greer
feed during dry summers when there il:
a shortage of grass.
6. Silage keeps stock in good physi-
cal condition.
T. 1t furnishes an abundance Of pre-
pared cheap and succulent roughage
for all seasons of the year.
These are not all the advantages o.
the silo, but they are enough to sug
gest how very useful silage is to the
American agrculturist.

terly calamitous whether ii sweeps

terly calamitous whether ii sweeps a
large or little city. True there is great
individual loss in every great fire. but
in the end IL usually results in a bet
ter town. One instance readily recall
ed is that of Dows, in Wright county,
where, about ten years ago, destruc-
tive fire wiped out the ,aombustihle
frame business; blocks and scarcely lett
thriving little city three hours previous.
The business men and property own
ers engaged contractors to rebuild, not
singles stores but Il street. Splendid
brick storerooms sprung UP where the
cheap balloon frames had stood, and
"a better built or handsomer business
street is not to be found III any iowa
town OF its size. And Dows is only
one of many similar instances. This
custom of building better is so unlNer-
sal that it has given rise to the conf
mon saving directed at tumbledown
street.-The town needs a big fire.
1t is typical of the American business
man that he gets up stronger after
having been knocked down. 1t is that
spirit that sends American manufac-
turers abroad, builds burned American
towns larger and more beautiful and
makes american the label of pluck
and enterprise. The American business
man may not be in every instance the
personiflcation of truth, but he is
bound. when crushed, to rise again. 1t
is the American way.

Experimental Cattle Feeding.

An experiment has just been con
cluded at the Nebraska Experiment
station which will be of interest to all
persons engaged in stock feeding.
Five lots of yearling steers, ten in
each lot, were fed six months to de-
termine the relative value of several
rations available in Nebraska. 1t was
an experiment in which the character
of the roughness played an important
part in the production of beef
one lot was fed on the ration in
most common use in this state, viz,
corn and prairie hay. Three fourths
of the cattle feeders in Nebraska are
feeding corn with either prairie hay,
millet, sorghum or straw. All such
ra tions are deficient in protein, which
food constituent must be present IN
all rations in the right proportion IL
satisfactory gains are to be secured.
Another lot was fed the same ration
supplemented with q little OIL
meal QinseeD. using nine pounds OF
corn to one Of oil-meal. The food, like
cottonseed- and gluten feed, is
very rich in protein. Enough larger
gains were made by adding oil-meal to
make the profits 81 per cent greater
with oil-meal than without.
A third lot was fed alfalfa hay and
corn Alfalfa, like clover, is rich
enough in protein to make up for the
deficiency of that nutrient in corn. In
other words, corn and alfalfa, without
commercial protein foods, make a bal
anced ration for fattening cattle.
With alfalfa and prairie hay valued
each at Sc per ton, the ration corn
and alfalfa produced 35 per cent

Reason For His Choice.


The following story of why it was
that one Seth Bonham, a farmer OF
Wayne county, Pa, cast in his lot with
Episcopalians after being blown by the
winds of doctrine for twelve months IS
attributed to Brooklyn doctor of d1-
vinity with a large church, says the
New York Tribune. Seth, after hav-
ing been awakened in a Methodist re-
vival, for year resisted opportunities
from his Methodist, Baptist and Pres
byterian friends to join them. Finally
the word went round that Seth had
decided to join the Episcopal church.
A Methodist brother expostulated, and
wanted to know why he had made his
decision in favor of the Episcopalians.
"Wa'al," said Seth, II did think at
fust that I'd jine the Methodists, but
they wuz a leetle too noisy for me, an,
besides, they talk politics After think
ing about it for nigh on a year, I've
swung to the Episcopalians, because,
after watchin' on 'em fur a year, I've
found that they don't have nothin' to
do with politics or religion"
The Enticing Bathtub.
1--WE spend our summers in my old
home up in Pennsylvania" says Sew
enteenth street woman, according to
the Washington Post. "The family
who occupies the house next to ours
has lately been adding many modern
conveniences to their residence. They
have set up a windmill to supply the
place with water, and they have
bought porcelain bathtub. 1t ar
rived in the town on a Monday and on
Tuesday the plumber installed it. On
Wednesday I met the lady of the house.
"'You must come over and see our
new bathtub,' said she. TITS lovely. I
declare it looks so inviting that we can
hardly wait for Saturday night to
come.''

MANY and Few.

fPhiladelphia Ledger.l
Charles w. Price, editr of the Elec-
trieal Review. returned last week from
a fishing expedition to the Thousand
isles. While silently regarding his
piscatorial luck, he brought with him
IA timely political story that he believes
spellbinders could digest with profit. 1t
was at the Lotos Club that he told Of
meeting in the cafe of Clayton inn two
loquacious and argumentfve Hibern-
ians, who between them were settling
affairs OF state off hand. Finally one
of them, hammering the table with a
heavy fist, impressively said:
after all is said and done, the
gr-e-a-t masses of the people must
constitute the bulk of the population!
His fellow debater, after moments
pause to properly consider this weighty
pronouncement, with a manner still
more impressive, replied:
'"Thrue for you, unless they are put
into a hopeless minority by the over
w-h-e-l-m-i-n-g numbers of the priv
ilegeg few"

der on the perpetrator, while the same
crime committed on another mans
daughter may go almost, sometimes en-
tirely, without proper punishment. The
laws should be changed. While the
death penalty can be given for this
crime in Iowa, at the discretion of
the Judge, the judges are extremely in
discreet and evidently allow such
criminals to appeal their cases after
they are convicted and to be out on
bail.

Does it pay to be good fellow?

meant by the expression is that he goes
out with the boys, and the girls too

good fellow unless he is the whole
cheese He has got to be Il good
drinker, able to hold up with the best
of them and If he can stand at the bar
when the rest of the company is under
the table he is all the better fellow. He
must be sporty enough to play his
hand to the limit and borrow from his
friends and they will all loan him, as
long as he is good fellow and has a
good salary back OF him. He must
also boast that he has n solid girl in
every town he makes. The more
girls he has the better fellow he is
considered by his companions. 1t is a
gay life and full of fun but the ques-
ton is does it pay in the long run?
Every little while we hear of one OF
these good fellows going to the bad.
No ordinary salary will keep a good
fellow going. He must have other
means of support. His numerous lady
friends are constantly calling for help,
while his cards and his liquor bills are
more than his salary. Some one else
must pay the extras and it is too
often the house" does the rest.
The papers are full Of accounts of the
good fellows who have gone wrong,
and the general verdict is that in the
long run it does not pay to be good
fellow.
