THE sILo VS.. THE SHREDDER.
sosA Are Good, But the Shredded
Product Does Away with
Much Tedious Labor.

Inere seems to be great deal of
controversy going on by advocates Of
oinerent methods of putting corn
fodder in the best shape for winter
use. The firmest advocates of the
silo are dairymen who have passed
through the experimental : stage OF
building .siloS and packing the green
stun and have used silage as q feed
for dairy cows. No one cares to say
that nice, sweet bright silage is not
wholesome foed for cows giving
milk, and perhaps young growing
stock. but it has some drawbacks.
There is always more or less waste
on account of molding, and when
both stalks and ears are cut up there
is much more grain in the silage than
IS frequently desirable to feed to
young stock.
On the other hand, shredded corn
fodder can be handled in a way that
viii insure the largest amount of nu-
triment in the fodder, and the we'll
ripened grain may be fed separate
~. 1t'seems from actual practice dur
ing the past two years, that the mod ]
ern machines for harvesting corn.
and husking it,, are coming
pretty near filling the bill. The corn
harvester does away with the tedious
and uncertain methods of cutting
corn. 1t enables the farmer to wait
until bis corn is in the right stage,
and then the work can be rushed to
the finish. The bundles are easily ham
died, and in due time the shocks are
ready for the husker and shredder.
The question of value of shredded |
fodder need not be touched here, for
actual feeding tests have demonstrate
ID that beyond all doubt. The value
2f the shredder and husker (com-
oined machine) lies in the fact that
t permits of the corn standing in the
'hock until well cured, aud then when
he rush of other fall work is over |
he husking and 'shredding can be
lone in hurry. The husked corn is
hen dry enough to crib, and the
hredded product may be stored any
'lace under roof.-Prairie Farmer.

WILD MEN OF BoRNEo.
Traces Of the Original sfde-shsw
Fakes Have Been Found by
Scientists.

Two men Of science are exploring
the island of Celebes, adjacent to Bor-
neo, bent on proving the existence of
that creation of the county fair and
the side show" the wild man of Bor-
neo. DR.. Paul and DIR. Fritz Sara sin
are the explorers who are hunting the
/ wild man on his native heath, saws
the Chicago Tribune.
! When the two scientists landed at
Macassar they heard stories of the
existence of the wild men, and these
they thought TO be merely myths. 1t
was said that type of primitive men
was extant and to be found in the un-
| explored wilds. 49,
Their informants said the wild men
were so shy and untama BILE that it was
almost impossible to get near them,
even to catch glimpse of them. The
stories were not generally believed in
Macassar, and the explorers thought
at first that escaped criminals had
taken to the mountains and had
frightened the natives into believing
them to be wild.
Upon further inquiry they learned
that the wild men, or "wood men,"
were confined to a certain district,
and were subject to a rajah. They
proceeded to this district, bearing
gifts to the potentate. Under the in
fuence of wise distribution of pres
ents the explorers so worked on the
rajah that he agreed to show them GER
tain types of the wood men, who were
held in captivity.
he had man, two women and
child brought before the scientists,
who decided at glance that they
belonged to primitive race of man.
These specimens, however, were half
tanned and had been in captivity so
long that they had lost many of the
characteristics of their race. The
raJah added that the real wild men
lived in the mountains.
Protected by nature to a ;arge ex-
tent, they lived in the fashion of men
OF the stone age, without many OF
the accomplishments of gentlemen
of that period. They defended them
selves with stones, not even having
learned the art of making the stone
hatchet, which indicates that they
are considerably behind the state of
civilization in which our ancestors of
the stone age lived.
They are cave dwellers, not having
learned to build shelters, snd prob
ably not caring to. They are |
CuIture ;S at s,cb
low ebb with them that they cannot
even count, and they do not know how
to tell a lie. They are in such prim-
tive state that they have to tell the
truth. Possibly their voca bulary il
not sufficiently developed.
These stories of the rajah have in
Ierested the scientists, and they are
now in the mountains trying to find
he real wild man of Borneo."

NATURES B0TcH-w0RK.
many Flaws IN Mans Makeup
Brought to Light BY Ruthless
Physiologian.

Just now, when, when most of man
kind is ready to believe that perfec
tion has been reached in physical hu.
manity, along comes Belgian pro
dessor to take the conceit out of us
and prove that even a seH-made man
has score of flaws in his make-up
observes the Detroit Free Press. We
are, to begin with, provided with
eight surplus teeth. If we had eight
less, we could chew our beefsteak and
gum just as well, and the chances of
toothache would be largely reduced.
Then there are four fingers where but
three are required to count our cash,
button our collars or use the buck
saw and ak. 1t is Che same with the
toes. The third one could have been
left off the foot without the slight
est detriment to man or woman. and
the saving in corn cures would have
been a pretty penny by this date.
Nature made whiskers to grow ON
the faces of at least three-fourths of
the male population of the world.
The Belgian professor defies anyone
of us to show where whiskers beau
tify or benefit, while he can name no
less than a dozen evils rising from
them. We have more ribs than need
ed by two. He proves this by count
ing the hoops on barrel. AS a rule.
all human noses are made on too large
scale, and the consequence is that
cold in the head takes hold of a per-
son with extra severity.
The ear of whale, the professor
says, is relatively only half the size
of that of man, while his bulk il
more than hundred times greater.
1t was suspected that most men had
too much cheek, but now he know.
that all men have too much ear.
As the monkey has no use for a
forehead, why should it lave been
given to man? Had the extra space
been added to his neck every man
could have worn collar a foot b;ob
saving his chin.

fessor that 10 out of 20 people suuint.

CHEAT FROM CHEAT SEED.
Do Not Turn to Cheat Says
Prof. Garman.

Prof. H. Garman, of the Kentucky
experiment station, is again called on
to explain that wheat, barley and
other cereals do not turn to cheat.
The following question and the an
swer thereto, by Prof. Garman, ap-
pears in the Breeders Gazette:
"You stated in an article a short
while ago that cheat came only from
seed. / quite believe that, but can
not explain the following facts: /
know of two timothy fields from
which large crops of hay had been
cut for several successive years, and
which changed to solid cheat fields in
one year, and in neither field was
there single sprig of timothy to be
seen. Also last spring pIowed field
that had been in mixed timothy and
clover for three years, and planted it
in tobacco. Last fall, as soon as the
tobacco was cut, l sowed the field in
barley, and / am prepared to swear
that there was no cheat seed in the
barley that was sown. j grazed the
barley very late this spring with cat
tie, and when j cut that field / cut
fine crop of. cheat. The farmers
around here say that cheat is formed
from the breaking of the tap root,
either from grazing when the ground
is soft, or from the freezing and
spewing up of the ground in winter.
What is your explanation"
The facts stated are very similar to
facts that have been reported to me
from time to time by other farmers,
but the inference to which your COR
points, though he does
not actually adopt and father it, is
not the only one that may be drawn
from the facts. Considering that tim
othy belongs to one botanical genus,
barley to another, and cheat to still
another, it is asking too much of a
botanist to request him to believe
that one of these plants may be con-
verted into another even by such
drastic treatment as breaking the
tap root" and if anything could con-
Fert one grass into another imagine
L would be something like this.

In farming judicious diversifica-
ton does not mean that all farmers
should grow this, that or any other
specified crop. Such theory would
render the farmer a mere machine,
set in groove and confined to it,
and do away with the necessity for
exercising common, or any Other
kind. of sense. But farmers should
diversity their crops, and in deciding
how to do SO, should consider the
adaptability of the soil, their indi.
vidual capabilities, and the demand
for the prepared products. 1t would
be foolish to plant any crop on soil
unsuited to it, or crops the farmer
knows but little about. Even special
lists should diversity, for the sake Of
the land if for no other purpose.
There are thousands of farmers in
the cotton belt now who have de-
scended from affiuence to poverty be-
cause they wore their land out grow
ing cotton and corn on the same
ground successfully for years. There
is but one safe and reasonable wav
to diversity and that is to consider
every phase ot the subject and decide
according to all the lights available.
Of course every farmer should grow
as much as possible for home con-
sumption,for thereby he saves freight
and other charges that devour his
profits. To do this he must keep live
stock. He must SO diversity as to
maintain the fertility of his soil. He
should SO diversity that he will not
have to buy anything he can grow,
Tor no matter what it is, he can grow
{ cheaper than he can buy it. He
should also remember that his profits

come and the outlay, and that his
