HARVESTING CORN.

The time to cut corn that is raised
for both fodder and grain is as soon
as the ears are nearly all denied. IT
1t is raised for fodder principally, 1t
may be cut while the ears are in the
milk if there is danger Of frost. Cut
all corn before frost If it is ripe
enough, as a frost reduces the value
Of the fodder. II a killing frost should
come early, cut the corn and put in
shock as quickly as possible.
A corn binder that will cut and bind
thick corn that is planted n bushei
or so on an acre, on rich mellow soil,
without ~clogging, and bind field corn
without knocking off the ears, is the
one to use, says X. j. Brooks in the
Northwestern Agriculturist. Use either
two or four horses. on the harvester,
as three horses abreast tramp the bun
dies too much. Cut as near the ground
as you can so stubble won't bother
pillow. Shock the corn just as fast as
1t is cut, never leave it to lie on the
ground over night or through a rain
storm, If you can possibly avoid 1t.
1t needs two men to shock to adyan-
tage using a shock horse, so that you
car see through the shock one foot
from the ground after 1t is finished,
thus allowing the air to blow through.
Every shock should be tied with
binding twine before you nov the
shock horse. Use q three-fourths inch
rope with a knot in each end to tight
en-; put the rope around the shock
about two feet from top. Let each
man pull at an end as they stand fac
ing each other on opposite sides, and
pull hard. Then one man takes hold
of the ropes where they cross n
holds tight while the other ties the
twine. Don't use a rope with a ring
or pulley in n end and pull from one
end In tightening shock, or every
shock will be twisted and mere liable
to go down before stacking time. Set
the shockrow in a straight line SO a
team can follow 1T more easily in
stacking time.
Stack the corn as soon as thorough
ly dry, in small round stacks, keeping
the middle OF the stack real full and
solid from the ground to tip so that
h stack will always turn rain if 1t
should come either when you are
stacking or feeding it out. Build one
stack in a place, so you can get at ii
on either side when feeding it out. TX
you are going to thrash or shred don't
put more than two small stacks in q
setting, as q very large stack of shred
ded fodder won't keep as well.
Don tramp the fodder any more
than you IA possibly help after il is
thrashed or shredded. as it is more
liable to heat and spoil, the more solid
1t Is packed.
Don't put shredded or thrashed fod-
der by means of a blower into q barn
that is partly full OF horse hay, as it
fills the hay with dirt more than ii
would III a carrier were used.
Don't put any quantity OF shelled
corn as it comes from the machine in
to a tight bin, or it will surely spoil;
rather spread ii thin on a large floor
so 1t may be shoveled over and aired.
And last. but not least, don't let the
corn stand in the shock till winter. so
you VIII have to shovel it out of the
snow n chop 1t loose from the
ground. These don'ts all save dollars
in handling corn.

RAsY's INSTINCT


Shows He knew What Foo to Stick To.
Forwarding a photo of a splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
The enclosed picture shows my A.
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
Since he was 2 years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He de-
mands and gets this food three times
a day. This may seem rather unusual,
but he does not care for anything else
after he has eaten his Grape-Nuts,
which he uses with milk or cream, and
then he is through with his meal. Even
on Thanksgiving Day he refused tur-
key and all the good things that make
up that great dinner, and ate his dish
of Grape-Nuts and cream with the best
results and none of the evils that the
other foolish members Of the family
experienced.
He Is never sick, has a beautiful
complexion, and is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com
pany prosper and long continue to fur
nish their wholesome foodw Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

Eranne Initiates In Shoes.

From United states Consul Ridgeiy.
Nantes, France Among the features
OF 1904 has been the general appear
ance OF shoes closely resembling In
form AMI style those made In the Uni
ted States.
The clumsy, ungalnly and heavy
French shapes ear gradually disappear
ing. In their stead are coming grace
fully cut and finely finished shoes OF
a decided American appearance. Inc
fact is, however, that 1t is rather our
shoe-making machines than the SHOES
themselves that have come TO France.
In any event, the American-appearing
shoes which are o quite generally
seer In this city and elsewhere In the
provinces are made principally in Paris
with machinery imported from the
United States.
This Ices not alter the fact that
some bona-hde American shoes are on
sale here, but they are much dearer
than the French made articles, and II
Is not likely that they will make head
way against the strong combination
which Is represented by cheap French
labor and prolific American machin-

NOTES ON S!LAGE
By w. .. Fraser.

An example of great loss owing to
the form and faulty construction came
upser the writer's notice a few days
ago. when a square silo, with a capac-
ity OF fifty tons was built, with air
tisat. but rigid walls. Simply the
springing Of the sides OF the sllo al
lowed the air to gain access TO the
silage to such an extent tnat the en-
tire ifty tons spoiled completely. Since,
for mechanical reasons, 1t Is practically
Impossible to build a square wood siio
with perfectly rigid walls, the ROUND
silo is the only proper form.
To obtain satisfactory results silage
must be in perfect condition When reo.
Since fermentation soon takes place
when silsgs is exposed to the air, the
sjIo should not be of too great diameter.
Not more than eight square feet or sur
face should be allowed for each COW In
winter; then, when feeding forty
hounds of silage per cow, a layer ia
Inches deep would be fed OH daily.
When silage is fed in summer, II Is al
yisable that the exposed area be not
over half this size, so that a layer three
inches deep may be used dally; nov
ever. much stock is to be fed. a sllo
20 to % feet in diameter is as large
as should be built. IL a silo Is of great
err diameter than this, much or the sill
age is at too great distance from the
door, increasing the labor of removal
The deeper the silo the greater n
pressure and the more compactiy VIII
the silage be pressed together, hence
the larger the amount that can De
stored per cubic foo For example, a
silo twenty feet in diameter and forty
feet deep will hold twice as u as
one Of the same diameter n twenty
Ave feet deep. This shows the economy
Of reasonably deep silos. To be Wen
| proportioned the height should not be
more than twice the diameter. No sllo
should be less than thirty feet deep and
TO get sufficient depth for a silo not
over twelve feet In diameter, 1t may
be placed four or V feet into the
ground.
The number of tons Of silage needed
can readily be estimated from h size
Of the herd and the amount to be FED
daily. Even hen it is desired to feed
as much silage as possible, not more
than forty pounds per COW should De
Ted daily. In Illinois silage will usually
be needed from o October 20 TO
May 10, or 200 days. Each COW should
have an allowance then of zoo times
forty pounds, which is 5000 pounds of
silage, or four o n per COW for the
year. A herd of ten cows will require
4 silo holding forty tons; a herd of
thirty cows, 120 tons; fifty cows, 200
tons, and 100 cows, 400 tons. Where
young stock is raised an allowance
should be made for them.

What a Square .Jawed Man is Dol.

New York Telegram to the Pittsburg
Gazette: 1t takes power and engineer
ing skill to raise a row of ten houses at
one operation n to throw them high
enough to build stores under them. This
is the undertaking begun today in
Harlem. Engineers and contractors
who are watching the job declare 1t
Will be impossible, out the men bossing
the performance say they will get the
houses UP IN the way intended or
bust To add to the remarkable
character of the whole affair all the
families in the houses continue to live
in them. The raising process will be
lone only a fraction of an inch at a
time, and 1t is thought ii will be ac-
complished without damage of any
kind. When the block has been put up
about fifteen feet on stills, stores will
be built under them, and ehe former
habitue of the neighborhood who has
been away a few weeks will not rec
ognize the street when he comes back.
That is the promise OF the contractor,
and he is a square-jawed, sturdy fellow,
who seems TO understand his business.

HOW TO FIND GROUSE.
uncer tain Birds to Which Rules Do
Not ALWAYS Apply,

NOL HiWdyS Apply
Outing: The ruffed grouse is one of the
uncertain birds to which no hard and fast
rules will apply, yet he has a few small
peculiarities of which advantage may be
taken. In wild, heavy woodland, his orig
inal haunt, he haS a weakness for two
t~hings-an old tote-road, or any seldom
used road, and the bank of a stream. A
man trying a bit of woods with which he
is ~unacquainted probably will see more
grouse near an old road than anywhere
else. In hilly country, the lower slopes
of the ravines are apt to be the best Of
ground. In level country, the long strips
of thicket bordering large blocks of stand
ing timber are ideal places, and If the
thicket happens to mark the edge of a
clover field, so much the better. Never
pass even a mall thicket which stands
out In a clover field with a wood upon any,
side. Grouse are fond of clover, and un-
til winter sets in are apt to be in any fair
shelter near the field. Later, in snowtime,
the borders and interior of large woodland
swamps are the chosen places. If there
be a region of thick, low-lying forest, hav-
Ing ciose-srown beech ridges here and
there, these surely will repay the labor
OF beating them, for they are almost GER
tai nto be the strongholds Of all the ruff
fled grouse of the neighborhood. Old wind
falls and slashings are good because they
afford acres OF the stort of shelter the
birds prefer in cold weather. Should a
single bird flush, proceed warily and ready
for instant action, for a second and per-
haps a three or four ~stragglers may be
within gunshot os the spot. Ground good
for one bird may be as attractive to three
or four, although each individual remains
some slight distance from the others.
When beating border thickets with a COM
rade, l prefer to work in the cover about
along the line where thicket and forest
