In the Wrong Place,

A local railway out west has an un-
enviable reputation for slowness, and
many jokes are cracked at it's expense.
Not long ago a humorist was travelling
on this line When a ticket collector
came to examine the tickets the humor-
list inquired:
''Does this railway company allow pas
sengers to give advice if they give it in a
respectful manner?"
The collector suspecting fun at his
own expense, replied in gruff tones, Il
suppose it does"
s.Well, then, collector" answered the
humorist, and he winked at his fellow
passengers, sit occurred to me, as we
were coming along, that it would be well
to detach the cow-catcher from the front
of the engine and fix it on to the rear of
the train"
why that?" demanded the collector.
"Well, you see," explained the humor-
list, ave are not likely to Overtake a
COW: but what's to prevent COW from

Shocking Corn.

Shocking Corn.
One of the great objections farmers
have to harvesting corn fodder Is that
the grain is seriously damaged by the
operation. In fact, they say oftentimes
1t will not terminate, and is always
more or less chaffy, light in weight,
and otherwise not equal to corn per-
mitted to remain in the field, Or until
after several frosts. A casual exam
ipation Of the way the shocks are
made on many farms would convince
one that complaints made about get
ting an inferior grain might be expect
ed, for the shock will not turn water,
will not let water that happens to get
in to the shock out quickly, and is, in
fact, so much on the ground that it is
practically wet all the time. 1t is not
a difficult task SO to handle both fod-
der and corn as to have a fine forage
from the fodder and still secure the
grain that is in every way equal to
standing grain
The corn crop is often cut too green.
Frequently the stalk becomes brown
the blades turning yellow and the ear
still soft and full of sap. In such in
stances the cutting should be slow
putting up quarter and half shocks
over the entire area, giving the inside
center of the shock an opportunity to
dry, then later finish the shock. Where
the corn binder is used the harvesting
should be such as to save the fodder
with as little damage to the corn as
possible. This requires judgment.
Then in shocking set four bundles in
the four corners made by the horse,
tie them tightly near the top, remove
horse and place bundle on each Of
the four sides in the center This
leaves corner between the four bun
dies so located that it may be made
to contain two bundles each. When
the center bundles are placed around
the first four eight bundles are up and
the shock is one-half finished. Fill
ing between with two bundles makes
the shock, which contains sixteen bun
dies. The shock is small, well bal
anced, and when drawn we'll together
near the top it is tied twice The bun
dies in such a shock may be set well
apart at the bottom, permitting good
ventilation. The binder cuts such a
low stub that the ear in the shock is
high from the ground. In cutting by
hand the careless shocker usually cuts
high stubs, then he throws the fodder
together The high cutting causes the
ear on the stalk to be near the ground
or more probably on the ground, caus-
ing serious damage to the grain. Corn
fodder should be cut as low as posi-
BILE, that the grain may stand a good
distance from the ground while in the
shock.-W. B. Anderson, in Indianap-
oils News.

Great Britain Sends a Note.
London. 4:52 p. m.--The British gov
ernment this afternoon sent urgent notes
of protest to the Russian government on
the subject of the Russian attack on the
British fishing fleet in the North sea
through both Ambassador Hardinge and
the Russian ambassador in London.
Special stress is laid on the callousness
displayed by the Russians in not going to
the assistance. of the fishermen. Lord
Lansdowne asks that immediate redress
shall be made
1t is believed in government circles
that the Russian government will take
the earliest opportunity to give satlsfac-
ton and 1T appears to be expected that
Russia will explain the affair, adding
that the Russian officials had reason to
with mines in the neighborhoOd where
the fishing fleet was attacked.
An interview between Lord LanSdOwne
and Count Benckendorf has been ar
ranged for tomorrow. In the absence of
Count Benckendorf the Russian charge
called at the foreign office this afternoon
to express deep regret at the occurrence.
Reparation Is Now Offered.
st. Petersburg, Oct 24-At the for
| eign office the sinking of the British
fishing vessels was deplorable. Officials
believe that some explanation which will
throw a new light on the affair will be
forthcoming as soon as Admiral Rojest-
vensky can communicate with st. Peters
burg. The press reports are so startling
| that NJ. Saseonoff, the Russian charge
d'affaires in London, in the temporary alb
sence of Ambassador Benkendorff. was
instructed this afternoon to express to
the British government the intense regret
and grief with which the reports had
been received and the desire of Russia to
voluntarily make full reparation in the
event of the Russian squadron being re-
sponsible for the unfortunate occurrence
| involving the loss of human life.
This step, showing the attitude of the
British government and public opinion IN
Great Britain and pave the way for an
honorable diplomatic adjustment.

Two-Row Corn Cutter.

Two-Row Corn Cutter.
A subscriber of Iowa Homestead
sends that journal a sketch Of a con-
Ven1ent two-row corn cutter. He says:
Il think it pulls easier than sled
cutter. I used this homemade corn
cutter one season and it works to per
lection. I use a AKA for an axle, and
bolt a 2x4 to this axle two and one
half to three feet apart, and let it run
out twelve inches on the rear side.
Board this over for a platform. For
runners at the front end 1 took run
ners from an old keystone planter
and fastened them from the bottom
so as to have them run about six or
seven inches from the rows Of corn.
For knives, 1 took two blades off an
old stalk cutter. The platform may
be either nailed or bolted down. The
wheels are old planter wheels. On the

MUST HAVE RECOGNIZED BOATS.
Baltic Fleet Could Not Have Mistaken
Ships for Japanese Fleet.

London, Oct 24-The mate of the
trawler Mino, which arrived at Hull with
the Moulmein bringing the news of the
firing on the fishing boats, said today:
Between 200 and 800 shots were fired.
The first vessel in line did most of the
firing. But I think two others also fired
several shots. Our whole fleet was under
searchlights, which nearly blinded u.s.
The Russians came within less than a
quarter Of a mile from US. We could see
them plainly"
Capt Peaker of the trawler Maggie
declared it was impossible for the Rus
slams to mistake the trawlerS for torpedo
boats. He added:
1.-THE whole affair lasted about twenty
minutes. Not a quarter Of their shots
could have taken effect. When the firing
ceased the ships disappeared as quickly
as they came up.
every sailor knows that this part of
the sea is a fishing ground and no one
could have mistaken our fleet with it's
special lights as signals

state that the Russian officers showed
much nervousness during the passage of
narrow Danish waters, says a Times
dispatch from Copenhagen. It is declared
they were afraid Of striking japanese

1t was not believed in Copenhagen that
any danger existed, especially in view of
the precautions taken by the Danish au-
thorities. Even in the smallest provin-
cial towns every traveller and foreigner
was watched with vigilance.

An Obliging Territory Judge.

The machinery Of justice has been do
ing its work at Ada for the past week,
and the following story, taken from the
local exchange, shows the pleasantness
and despatch with which the judge trans
acts his business
In one instance William Newman was
tried for maintaining a common gaming
house and was found guilty by jury.
Just before the dinner hour Newman
said: "Your honor, how much is my fine?
I don't want to go to Jail: I want to go
to dinner" Judge Dickerson told him to
to go dinner and to appear at l o'clock,
when he would sentence him. Newman
went to dinner and returned. When the
court opened, the judge asked him if he
knew any reason why he should not be
fined Newman said, mo; how much

and six months in jail.-Kansas City

One breed is enough for the farmer.
Roup is produced by a bad cold
being neglected.
If eggs for Matching are desired, use
2-year-old hens.
GRADUATED is the form in which to
supply bone to poultry.
To make poultry business a success
it must have attention.
All perches should be on the same
level, none higher than the others.
1t is very essential that the poultry
house should be we'll ventilated.
Whole wheat is an excellent food
for the hens, but should not be used
exclusively.
Bone meal contains lime and also
animal matter which is of value.
Some green food is Indispensable to

Make the Cows Comfortable,

Most farmers think they know how
to care for their COWS without the adj
vice Of anyone, and the majority Of
them do give them food and shelter,
but there are many more little COM
forts which cost but trif1e, but which
go far toward increasing the value Of
the milk production. Sunshine, what
little there is in winter, is as welcome
to animals as to the human family,
and the man who will contrive to give
his cows all the sunshine possible will
have better-natured COWS and more
milk. Then see to it that all cracks
and crevices through which drafts Of
air can come are closed It is not
meant that ventilation be dispensed
with by any means, but simply that
drafts are shut out Make the beds
heavy with straw and keep the stalls
clean; then with a well-ventilated and
sunny stable and something to chew
on between regular meals, the cow
will be happy and comfortable, and
will surely repay you by a fuller milk
pail.

GRAVE DANGER IN CHINA.
Conditions There Are Said to Be Worse
Than Before the Boxer Out
break in 1900

London, Oct. 24-Bennett Burleigh
cables the Daily Telegraph from Shang-
hal that the political outlook in China is
worse now than prior to the boxer
outbreak in 1900. Widespread opera
tions Of secret societies, he says, show a
dangerous recrudescence Of anti-foreign
feeling. Drilling of large bodies of we'll
equipped troops is proceeding night and
day in many districts of southern and
midnorthern provinces, and the Chinese
authorities are buying all kinds of mill
tary equipments and stores.
