S. The Mariposa grove is the only

The value of corn silage as a factor
in producing beef is not nearly as
we'll understood as it ought to be.
When the corn is pretty well matured
before going to the silo, it makes a
very economical food, even though fed
in quantities as high as 40 to As
pounds per day. However, even
though it could be fed so freely, it
may be made to serve a good purpose
in addition to the nutriment which it
provides, owing to its succulent ma
ture. 1t exercises beneficial effect
on the digestive organs. When thus
fed, it will have the effect of enabling
the animals to turn other food to the
best account because of the more
perfect digestion of the food induced.

peat is dried under the influence of
the electric current and then further
treated so that under the action of

of ash is said to be slight and no trace

All large trees that have been
planted during the fall should be
packed well with stable manure so as
to retain the frost, and not subject
the roots to the thawing and freezing
weather that we may have. If you
have any seeding plums on your
place that have not been desirable
prepare for top grating them in the
spring. This work must be done early
in March, your matter should be pre-
pared and your signs cut and packed
away in the cellar in leaves. 1t is an
easy process, and takes but little
time to insert a dozen or more gratis
in the top of an Improbable, worth.

Mutilated Minerva

Owing to the mutilation OF valu-
able antique head Of Minerva. present
er in 1860 by the composer Halvey to
the BeauX Arts, a proposal to have
casts made from all important sculp.
lures in France belonging to the state
has been made. In the present in
stance the nose has been knocked off
and the head so damaged that repairs
are out OF the question. The posses.
sion of perfect casts of all the statues
in the Louvre would at least minimize
the loss in case of fire.

FERTILIZER FOR GRAPES.

The question was asked on the floor
Of the Iowa State Horticultural So
Ciety last week by a grape grower
who said: Il have large vine
yard. but in some way during the
maturing of the fruit, the leaves drop
off, and the branches become wither-
ed, and they do not mature into full
sized large fruit" This was explain
ed by one of the successful vineyard
lists. He said that the ground needed
to be fertilized; that he had had the
same experience for years, but by Civ
ing it generous application of I'M
leached hardwood ashes with com
posted barn manure, that he had no
more trouble in his vineyard. We be-
lieve oftentimeS that the vineyard is
not given the proper attention that
it should have. The soil becomes ex-
hauSted, the grape vines start up and
bloom with vigor and life, and try
to produce full crop, but when mid
summer comes the trees are weakened
by the fact that the elements in the
soil are not present in sufficient guam
titles to mature the crop. We are con-
fident that barn yard manure with the
wood ashes is an ideal fertilizer. 1t can
be easily done by scattering it be-
tween the rows in the VINEYARD at any
time in the year when the frost is
out of the ground. so that the soil will
not lose any fertility by being washed
away.
