THE O. F. F. CLUB ENTERTAINs

One of the merriest and prettiest
private entertainments given in the
city during the winter occurred Satur-
day evening at Margery Hall when
the young ladies of the o. F. F. Whist
club, popular social organization
that had so many pleasant meetings
last season. entertained for the first
time this season. The function Sat
urday evening was more particularly
in honor of the young gentlemen who
have arranged one or two delightful
private dances this year in which
the young ladies' participated.
The banquet room of the hall was
tastefully decorated for the occas-
ion. the flowers and various colored
festoons were uniquely and prettily
arranged.
There were about sixteen couples
present and nearly all the guests were
in evening dress.
Whist was the leading pastime
Late in the evening the guests par
took of a supper that was elegant
in its every appointment. The menu
was as delicious as It was dainty. Dur
ing the service of the supper an or
chestra engaged by the young ladies
rendered a delightful program.
1t was near midnight when the
evenings pleasures ended. The
young ladies' are charming hostesses
and the first meeting of the o. f. F
club was a happy affair. The club

The Corn Plant.

Reliable figures show the great feed
ing value of the hard lower end OF
the corn plant generally known as the
stnDDie, part usually discarded or
thrown TO the hogs, but which, il prop
erly prepared, would add much value
70 the food supply. 1t is estimated
tnat the top part of the corn fodder
contains less food value than the lower
part OF the stubble and that ffty-two
per cent Of the food value is in the
plant and but forty -eight per cent. in
the ears. Moreover, the digestible con-
rents are much greater in the lower
stuDDle than in the main stalks
farther up or in the leaves.
The reducing of this stubble to a
condition so that the cows can eat it
readily is where the great value Of
the shredder comes in, but with the
majority of farmers the old-fashioned
cutter must take the place Of the
shredder. AS an experiment the writer
took an old and very dull ak and broke
to slivers lot of corn stalks. particu-
larry the lower part, usually thrown
away. This mass was thoroughly
moistened in water which was quite
warm, covered thickly with wheat
bran and offered the cows. They ate

nad previously partially discarded the

length. They had become tired of the
corn stalks fed in the old way, but

Seed Growing.

The proper behavior for carrots,
onions and other plants of a similar
nature is to put in their time at grow
ing during the first summer. Seed
growing should be reserved till the
second year, when the roots that are
found worthy may be given chance
If it is desired. Now and then some
root will so to seed the first year.
Such seed is not desirable for planting,
as it is the result of tendency to de-
generate. A crop raised from it would
show still stronger propensity in that
direction, till it would become an an
nual, which would not be wanted.
With some plants this tendency is very
strong and must be continually guard
ed against by the seed grower. They
seem never to be satisfied with civil
cation and are continually lapsfng to-
ward their wild state. Back to ma
ture" is the cry of those who advocate
return from the city to the country.

Blackjack in Vermont.


Harry Noyes of Hyde Park, VT, shot

think were without doubt hybrids, a
cross between ruffed grouse and black
cock.
The birds were found in Cambridge,

where the writer had some years ago
a few pair of blackjack released
These hybrids were fully one-half
larger than a large ruffed grouse, and
,fhe dark bands were light chestnut

/, For Several years after blackjack
were released we had favorable re-
ports of their breeding, and have no
doubt that they have by this time
spread over a considerable extent of
territory, and if they are crossing
with our native grouse it will please
the majority of sportsmen, as they
will make larger mark to shoot at

Cutand Ground Alfalfa.

In few instances we hear that alt.
alta hay when dried is cut in short
bits by the cutter and then run through
the corn mill and made into meal which
is mixed with cornmeal and so fed to
hogs. the reason for this being that
hogs not used to alfalfa will. not eat
1t readily when only cut, but will when
mixed with cornmeal. 1t is stated that
an experiment in which ground alfalfa
cut in half-inch lengths for fattening
pigs was recently made by the Color
ado Experiment Station. It required
AT pounds of corn and alfalfa mixed
at the rate Of three pounds of corn to
one of alfalfa to produce one pound Of
gain, while 4.S1 pounds of corn and
ground alfalfa mixed in the proportion
OF three parts of corn to one of alfalfa
were eaten for one pound Of gain, not
counting labor.
With cut alfalfa costing So a ton and
ground alfalfa SIC ton, the cost Of
producing 100 pounds of gain with the
former was $262 and with the ground
alfalfa $3.12. With corn and cut alf-
alta fed in equal parts by weight, the
cost of producing 100 pounds Of gain
was $2.72. With corn and ground alf-
alta fed in equal parts by weight the
cost was $J.96.
These results go to show that at the
prices quoted alfalfa is more econOmi-
cal to feed than ground alfalfa, and
that a RI tion conSiStfpu af throo fo,,rtho
corn and one-fourth alfalfa is cheaper
than one consisting of half corn and
half cut alfalfa for fattening pigs.
Grinding alfalfa is an expensive pro-
cess, and it is doubtful If machinery
can be improvised which will grind il
as cheaply as it can be ground by an
animal.-Farmers Home Journal.
