Doubt as 10 Shedding Corn.

1t is not universally admitted that
shredding corn fodder pays. Many
who have tried it seem to feel about
like an Indiana farmer who says:
Il shred my corn fodder, but am not
satisfied that it is a success. Labor
is too high, and while cattle do very
well on it, horses do not seem to do
as we'll. In my opinion, corn, oats and
timothy hay is the best combination of
feed for horses corn and clover hay
with some bran for beef CATTLE and

Water for Horses in Summer.
If one will stop to think how hard
it is to go through the WORK of the
morning in dry, dusty field on a hot
day without a drink, one will then have
an idea of how horses feel under the
same conditions. An excellent plan Of
feeding and watering the horse during
the warm weather is to give them wa
ter in the morning, then the hay and
then the grain; at noon the water,
little hay and then the grain and at
night the water, the grain and some
time afterward, usually two hours or
more, all the hay the animal will eat
up clean. 1t will be noticed that the
water always precedeS the meal of
hay and grain. During the forenoon
and during the afternoon the horses
should have at least one cooling drink.
1t will do them no harm and they will
do all the better work in consequence;
then. at night, see that they are prop
erly groomed and that they have a
good, comfortable bed for their tired
bodies. Treated in this manner, one
will get full days work from every
horse and he will not suffer from it,
either.

If this is so the responsibility for that

Democratic managers at whose very

Buy Early and Send Early

Several times already the Journal
has urged its readers to do their
Christmas shopping early. and now,
with a week still remaining before the
holiday. it repeats and reemphasizes
the advice. There is a tendency tn
put off the buying until the last few
days. but this is great mistake on the
part Of the buyer and it makes things
very hard for the merchants and their
clerks. The early buyer escapes the
rush and has a larger stock to select
from. But aside from this selfish point
of viaw, we should remember the over
worked clerks. and in this season of
good will. Of happiness and thought
fulness we should do what we can to
relieve the strain upon them.
An exchange points out that there
is another set Of workers. those in the
postoffices and express offices. who
merit some consideration at this time.
This means that it devOlves upon
everyone who IS about to send by mail
or express his Offering Of good cheer to
distant friends and relatives to get
these tokens away as early as possible
from this date on. During the last
half of this week the postoffice and ex-
press companies will be literally

ages and bundles entrusted to their
care, and those who delay in this mat
ter may count themselves fortunate if
their gifts reach the recipients at the
appointed time. Those who are
sending away these missives of affec-
ton need not wait any longer, par
ticularly if the distance their gifts
must traverse is very great. The
packages con easily be addressed to
relatives or friends or those who are
to get them, to be held until st. Nicho-
las has come with his team of rein
deers. or they can be marked mot to
be opened until Christmas morning.
OF course, fair women can be trusted
to repress their curiosity until the APP
pointed time, and as for men, they are
perfectly willing to wait anyway.
There is nothing more exasperating
to the recipient Of a Christmas gift
than to have it arrive several days
late. The present loses much of its
special significance if it reaches those
for whom it is intended on any other
day. Better, then, to have a gift held
in the household that it is intended
to please than to have it buried with
thousands of others in some part OF
an express or postoffice, waiting for
the overwOrked messengers to deliver
it. Buy early, then. and send early
for in no other way can you be certain
that the bit of Christmastide you
bestow will reach its destination at the
appointed time.
