tial salute an agitation such as has had
no parallel since Elizabeth Cady STAN
ton held her woman's rights conyen-
tion. It is to be launched as fedora
ton of the women of the State, looking
to a larger national council, and a COM
mittee at Albany to lobby for every
measure that affects the sex will be q
vital part of the program.
The movement Is headed by Mrs.
Dore Lyon, who Is president of the
Eclectic Club and one of the best dress
ed women In New York. But behind
her looms Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch,
daughter of the late Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. 1t was Mrs. Batch who fired
the first shot in the proposed campaign
last winter, when she organized the
League of Self-Supporting Women.
The plans Of the American suffrag-
etes is to conduct a militant campaign
such as the women of London carried
forward until they awoke all England.
At the last meeting of the Women's
League Mrs. Wells, London member
of the fighting women" told how they
"boo-ed" an obnoxious member Of par
liament from public meeting.
Mrs. Batch here arose and said that
women had been insulted by promi-
nent legislator at Albany recently when
they went there to secure certain rights.
Mrs. Batch remarked that this man
would have occasion to regret 1t at his

As the cutworm seems to work most
.ly during nights that are cool, ceasing
to do much harm after the nights be-
come warm, many methods for destroy
ing them have been suggested. 1t has
long been known that sod land, or land
covered with growth that has not been
recently disturbed, contains more cut
worms than land that has previously
been cultivated and kept clean, as the
moth deposits her eggs where instinct
prompts her to provide an abundance
of food, the moths working from June
until October in accumulations of rub
Dish or on fields covered with heavy
sod but not in the ground, as the young
worms feed on vegetation, going down
into the ground at the approach Of VIM
ter, where they remain to begin work
early in the spring, reaching maturity
in a short time. An excellent plan is
to pillow the ground, leaving the land
rough, late in the season, which turns
many worms to the surface, where they
are destroyed by the alternate thawing
and freezing of the ground, especially
If the soil is damp. Early in the
spring, just before the frost leaves, the
ground should be plowed again, which
will cause the destruction of more of
them. In both cases the birds destroy
a large number. During the summer 1t
will be of advantage to keep the ground
clear Of weeds or heaps of refuse, and
do not destroy the moles, as they sub
slst on cutworms If given an oppor-
tunity to do so, the mole will prove IT.

such are the strange freaks in which
nature INDUCES. this mean and selfish
intriguer was endowed with perfect
courage, with an Irresistible charm Of
manner. with a temper which even his
wife failed to disturb, with brain
that no sophlstry could obscure and
with military genius before which
criticism is humbly silent.
He was treacherous even in treach-
erous age. Wholly devoid of cruelty
and by nature humane. he ls said new

life. He used his fellow creatures for
his own purposes, and when he had no
further use for them he forgot their
existence. He made his plans and car

Faxed Coronation Scene.

Probably the most notable faxed
living picture ever produced was that
which purported to give representa-
ton of the actual scene inside West
minister Abbey at the Kings Corona
ton.
The production was the work Of an
inventive Frenchman, who had spe-
cial scenery of the abbey painted and
reproductions Of the historical cos.
tunes made. Then a number OF
French actors were made up" to rep
resent the King. the aged Primate and
other central fgures-and remarkably
lifelike they were.
The mock coronation ceremony took
place at quiet little village in Brit
tany, and the films were sent to Lon.
don for reproduction In one of the
leading houses Of entertainment. The
managers. however, made no attempt
to impose on the public and openly
confessed that the scene was fake. /"

snec,aI Fodder crop..

A fodder crop of corn may be grown
independently Of the regular corn crop.
Careful experiments made show that
the fodder crop produced with the ears
Is more valuable than may be sup
posed, and that larger proportion Of
the fodder would be consumed IL 1t
could be properly cared for, SO as to
be kept in bright condition. If hay
was treated in the same manner as fod-
der 1t would be rejected, but even in
tho condition in which fodder is given
to stock they accept and consume
fair quantity of it. Farmers who have
been careful with their fodder have
found that when it was cut up fine
with the feed cutter and fed in connec-
ton with ground oats, bran or other
grain, not only cattle, but horses, have
been brought safely through the win
ter in good condition, and at less cost
than with any other kinds Of food 1t
is willful waste Of labor to carefully
shock the fodder and then leave 1t, for,
even If not destroyed by winds and
ruins in the field, it is so deteriorated
in quality as to be unacceptable to
stock. Corn fodder can be made to
assist the hay as food, but the point
to observe, and which is shown by all
experienced farmers, is that corn fod-
der must be bright. OF course, when
cut down in the field 1t must be done
at the proper stage of growth, so as to
have the stalk as succulent as possible,
and as soon as the ears are removed
the fodder should be put under shelter.
1t is too bulky crop to put in the
barn, but, overlooking that point, more
care should be used in shocking 1t.
With the shredder or ensilage cutter
large portion can be prepared, and
made ready for use, and it will not
heat if the fodder is well cured but
one method is to have cheap sheds,
under which the stalks can be stored,
being packed in manner to permit
of q free circulation of air. 1t may be
contended that 1t will cost too much
to store under shelter, and that the
corn can be fed more economically by
throwing 1t into the barnyard 1t will
be better, however (if the corn is to
be used in such manner) to make a
change and shred all the stalks before
throwing them into the barnyard, as
they will then be serviceable for bed
ding.
