kissing the Bible in Court.

Justice John NJ. Yirney, Of New York
has abolished in his court the custom
of requiring a witness to kiss the Bible

Cost of Feeding.

The Massachusetts experiment sta
ton kept track of the cost Of feed eat
en- by three farm horses for five years.
The feed consisted of hay, corn, oats
and other common feeding stuffs. The
cost Of the ration averaged from 1872
TO 24s4 cents per head daily. At the
Oklahoma station Kaffir corn was used
quite extensively. With Kafir corn
and ordinary corn at 20 cents a bushel,
oats % cents, bran % cents per 100
pounds, the average cost Of work
horses daily ration was II cents. If
all horse owners understood how good
oats are for horse feed there would
be better horses in the country. Corn
is almost unfit for the hard worked
horse. II you feed oats the horses may
not look quite SO fat, but they will be
in better condition. They will have
more life and feel more like working,
and it is a settled fact that they will
do more work during the season by a
great deal, enough more. that it will pay
well to feed on oats.-Farm Home.

SEE USE FOR CORNsTALks.

Iowans Plan to Use Waste Products
for Manufacture of Paper.
All Iowa is interested in the plan Of
turning the waste products Of the corn
fields Of the western corn-producing
States into paper, and paper Of such
quality that it will compare favorably
with the famous Japanese vellum W.
r. Patterson, professor Of economics
and statistics Of the State University
Of Iowa, Investigated the process Of the
National Fiber and Cellulose Company
while In Chicago in the interests Of the
commercial museum Of the university.
Just common, ordinary cornstalks,
to rot yearly in several Western States
producing the greatest amount Of corn,
is the material from which, expert
mentally, the company has already pro-
duced excellent paper at cost ranging
from $24 to $25 per ton. The cost Of
manufacturing paper from wood pulp
or rags Is estimated at from $50 to
$75 per ton.
Over 100000 has been spent in the
perfection CT machinery for the hand
ling Of this material. An improved
thrashing machine which separates the
stalk from the leaves, husks the ears,
delivers tie stalks bound In bundles
ready for shipment and the parts of
the plant valuable for stock food into
the barn has only recently been pat
of S%o ILL.,
then shipped to a depithing plant
where after passing through several
operations the pith Is separated from
the hard fiber surrounding the stalk
and rolled, making an excellent quail
ty Of paper. The hard outside fiber
Is used in the manufacture of box
board.
The company has an option on
paper mill at Kankakee, ILL.,, where the
machines have been operating success
fully. Every vestige of the stalk Is
utilized in some manner. In prepar-
ing cellulose, guncotton, smOkeless pow

One speaker at Montreal during
recent session Of the Canadian tariff
commission said that the average farm
In Huntingdon County represented an
investment Of $4,000. On such a farm
there would be twelve cows of q total
value Of $420. Two COWS would fatten
two pigs and four calves. The revenue
from the milk and milk products of
twelve cows amounted to about $42O a
year; from the two pigs and four
calves, 500. They would sell two
beeyes at $40 each From the sale of
horses, one in two years, apples and
small stuff, there would be another
500. The produce Of the farm eaten
annually by a family Of six was esti-
mated at $3.50; therefore there was a
total revenue OF $40 year. To work
such a farm required the services Of
two men and one woman, worth in all
a month. Then there would be expenii-
ture for blacksmith's service, harness,
and various items Of wear and tear, to
amount to 500. Thus, the total eX-
pense reached the sum Of S772, which,
deducted from a total revenue Of $40,
left balance Of $6S. Another speaker
gave the balance sheet Of an average
dairy farm, showing receipts Of $1,2Oj
and expenditures of 1868, leaving 5000
for living, clothing, education, excur-
sions, etc.

Wonderful Intelligence Displayed
i'm EIuding His Enemies.
The wolves now found In Jackson
County are in size between the coyote
of the western plains and the big
wolves found in the Ozark region. In
general appearance they bear resem-
blance to the Scotch collie dog. They
live in unfrequented places generally
in the timber or along the streams, and
a fayorite abode Is in caves or under
overnanging lodges Of stone.
Scratching out shallow hole in the
ground, they line 1t with small sticks
and dry leaves. Here the mother wolf
takes care Of her young while the faith
err is securing the country for miles
around in search Of food. He Is rarely
seen by day, and then only for an in
slant, for he seems to melt away like
a mist into the weeds or brush, his
tawny hide making it easy for him to
disappear from sight.
It Is said that he has an especial lik-
ing for mutton, especially young
lambs, which fall an easy prey to him.
and that he is most frequently found
where sheep are numerous. But he
will not turn his nose up at tender lit
tie pigs, and when he cannot find 9th
err things more to his liking he will
not scruple to become a common chick

especially human, is remarkable, and

things about him. If a hunter succeeds

houses in various parts Of the State to

over muddy roads. The funds in the

enable it to send lecturers to every

Stupendous Farm Wealth.

The wealth production on farms in
1905 reached the highest amount ever
attained by the farmer Of this or any
other country, "a stupendous aggre-
gate Of results Of brain and muscle
and machine" amounting in value to
$6,415, 900, 900, an excess over last year
Of $3.50, 100000. The wealth produced
on farms in 1905 exceeds that Of 1904
by 4 per cent, that of 1908 by 8 per
cent and that shown by the census fig
ures for 1899 by 36 per cent. Should
there be no relapse from his present
position as a wealth producer three
years hence the farmer will find that
the farming element, about 80 per cent
Of the propulation, has produced an
amount Of wealth within ten years
equal to one-half of the entire national
wealth produced in three centuries.
