FEEDING CORN FODDER.

In the States where the corn crop
is large much of it goes to needless
waste, which with a little care might
be made to add to the farm profits.
The wasteful plan of throwing it in
great stacks to the animals, leaving
them to eat what they will and tram
pie the rest under foot, can not be
profitable, no matter how large the
corn crop one has at command. To
get the most from the corn fodder,
if it is not in the form of silage, 1t
should be cut or shredded, preferably
the latter. OF course, in some Sec
tons perhaps this may not be done
with profit, but it may be cut even IN
the old-fashioned cutter and pay for
the labor.
the time to feed the corn fodder
to best advantage is early in the sea-
son and simply because after mid-win-
ter it has lost much of its feeding
value and the cows fail to do WEI.
on it and tire of the sameness. The
other materials used for roughage can
be saved until labor in the winter and
in the spring. The corn fodder may
iIe made more appetizing by feeding
III small ration of root crops, although
Ne bulk of the roots should be saved

cine more anxious for green food

RAISE SOME SHEEP.

There is perhaps no farm animal

still there is scarcely farm where
some sheep could not be kept at

most any kind of weeds and apparent

their great value lies; it is an animal
that is capable of converting waste
products on the farm into source OF
revenue.
Next spring it would be well to
seed some rape in the small grain
as this will produce large amount
of feed by the time the grain is stack

FEEDING WARM WASHES.

Now that the season is approaching
when the poultry must be housed
more or less closely the annual sub
ject Of feeding the warm mash comes
up for consideration. We were for
merly strong advocates of the warm
mash in the morning; then we turned
to the plan of giving 1t at night and
literally in either period. Now we
stand on a middle ground, Tor with
our fiocks, mainly Of the larger
breeds, it was found that the liberal
feeds of warm mash put the fat on.
and when the fat goes on too heavily
the eggs begin to fall short.
We then worked along the plan OF
feeding the mash in the morning dur
ing moderate weather and It night in
colder weather; indeed, the fowls are
not a little hungry when they have
finished, but, on the other nand, they
don't stand around with a dreamy look
in their eyes which comes from a
full stomach, but get to work vigor.

chaff on the scratching shed floor.
To make up for our stinginess in
quantity of mash we make 1t appetiz-

through two seasons of feeding in this
manner has convinced us that 1t is
the correct plan. Don't go to the

checks, byocades, stripes and flower
ed silk are very popular.
Some of the prettiest of the simple
dark silk blouses to wear mornings
are made with heart-shaped or square
openings at the neck to show white
chemisettes.
The best taffeta petticoats are very
carefully cut, and have no extra full
ness at the waistline. Most women
prefer to take out the draw string and
fit the skirt smoothly to a buttoned
belt
The Empire and Directory styles
ruled in the coats, and there were
many long capes and cloaks of charm
ing design.
A simply cut wrap of pale blue
broadcloth was cape-shaped, but furI
ished with large crape-like sleeves.
Skirts are so perfectly fitted these
days, especially the circular skirts,
that the petticoat becomes OF more
than ordinary importance in ina
scheme of dressing.

WOMAN VIOLIN MAKER.

en-, but few have constructed the be-
loved instrument from which such
wonderful melody can be obtained.
Miss Grace Barstow, of San Jose, Cal.
has the unique distinction OF being
the only woman violin maker in Ann

over, she is noted performer on the
instruments of her own making. Pos
sessing fitting environment and In
telljgent sympathy, when her desire to
make a violin became known, Miss
Barstow's family gave her every en-,
enlargement and sent to Germany for
the necessary woods. Altogether six
violins have been completed by her,
each one noted improvement on the
preceding effort, until the last instru-
ment is said by experts to possess a
delightfully."- rich and brilliant tone.
