CORN FODDER AS FEED.
It Has a High Value II It Is Properly
Cared For.

The value of corn fodder when
properly cared for can hardly be over
estimated. In my several years OF ex-
perience in feeding stock | have not
found anything that equals 1t as an
all purpose feed. A great deal OF
complaint has been heard to the ef-
feet that it is difficult to persuade
stock to eat corn fodder, but l be-
lieve that if we could go to the feed
lots of the people who make these
complaints we could find that the fod-
der they were giving to their stock
was half decayed and scattered here
and there through the mud and ma
nure; perhaps there may be a few
hogs running through it, trampling
it into the mud before the cattle
reach It, From observation, contin-
ues the writer in Farm Life, l would
say that almost three-fourths of the
farmers feed their fodder in just this
way.
The cost of farm labor has necessi-
tated greater care in the saving of
feed and getting it to the stock in
such a condition as to obtain the
greatest benefits from it, SO it is well
worth considering this matter.
AS to the fodder itself, it is evil
dent that the best can be produced
from our earliest corn. 1t can then
be cut before there is any danger of
frost, for frost bitten fodder is utterly
worthless.
There seems to be a great differ
ence of opinion as to just when corn
should be cut for fodder. l prefer it
a little green to being overripe.
put it in small stacks to cure, and
when well cured, husk the corn and
bind the fodder into large bundles,
which can be easily handled and
stored away to be used as wanted.

WHY HE GREW SHEEP.
One Farmer Declares They Return
Largest Profit.

Recently Mr. Arbuckle in the Plant
er gave some excellent reasons why
be grows sheep. Among other things
he said that they brought him annu-
ally larger per cent on the invest
ment in them than in anything else
on the farm, in both mutton and
wool. Here is another strong point
he makes: mo animal on earth can
reclaim wornout lands like sheep.
Sheep choose the high, dry places to
lie on at night. There they leave
their droppings, that pound for pound
are worth more tan any other plant.
food on earth. These very high places
are the poorest, worst-washed, barest
places. Don't you see what flock
of sheep will do? They will during
the day gather the grass in the val
legs and hollows, where it grows lux
uriantly" | was once walking over
farm with man who remarked that
he had never seen such a sod on hills
as he saw on this farm. Kicking over
a pile of sheep droppings that lay in
clump of dark-green blue grass, l
said, Here is the secret" Nothing
equals sheep for retaining land. In
England l have seen 20 sheep to the
acre, grazing over a sod that would
put our best Kentucky sod to shame.
We want sheep to clean up these
weeds that are crowding everythin
else out. Sheep were not made to
live on weeds, but with every meal
they will take up goodly supply as a.
sort of dessert i watched a lamb
one afternoon for one hour, and in
that hour l listed 16 different kinds
of weeds that saw her bite off. The
heads of the oxeye, ragweed and car
rot that she ate in this hour would
certainly have run up close to 100.

LITTLE ENGLISH GIRL WILL SEEK
TO SPREAD THE LIGHT
IN GOTHAM.
HER POWER OF ELOQUENCE
Frances Bradley Storr Has Astonished
Audiences by Her Strange Gift
HAS a Remarkable Conn.,
mand of Language.

New York.-A child is coming to
preach the Gospel in New York. She
Is Frances Bradley Storr, whose home
is in Doncaster, England. She is IL
years old, a tiny figure of girl in
short frocks. She is one of seven
children in a workingman's family.
She has had only the rudiments of an
education, yet she has the power to
move great audiences with the mag
netic sincerity of her eloquence.
In few months she has BECOME
the Child Preacher of England
Il am only a little girl, just as was
the slave child of Naaman," she says.
Through me, as through her, 1t has
pleased God to deliver a message"
In the villages in England where
Frances Storr has been preaching, the
people have thronged to hear her. A
correspondent, in describing one of
these recent meetings, says:
When the child preacher rose, and
something like tremble ran through
the packed congregation, a most won
derful thing happened, for with the
knowledge that emotion lay like an
instrument to her hand to play upon,
and with all the possibilities appar-
ent, she struck the calmest, most
soothing key of Northumberland the
audience relaxed into dead silence.

with red cloth, and with only the post

ish, sprawling characters the notes OF

FAST WALkINK HORSES.
They Can Be Trained TO Rapid Gait
When Colts.

The fast walking horse Is made in
to go too fast and is held down until
he comes to believe that his gait is to
be a dragging walk. II the colt Is
trained to walk up briskly but not
trot; If he Is never allowed to trot
until he is thoroughly trained to walk
as fast as he can without trotting,
there will be no trouble about his
walking in after life.
When a colt that is being trained
begins to lag, touch him gently with
the whip to let him know that he
must move up little more briskly,
says the Agricultural Epitomist, but
do not strike him hard enough to hurt
and excite him. Make him keep on
walking as fast as he can and the
habit will soon become a fixed one
and his value will be increased rs per
cent. as far as farm work is concern
ed and when ready for market, will
bring a price considerably in excess
of another animal of the same breed
ing that cannot be made to walk
briskly.
A slow walking team makes work
drag in spit; of every effort of the
driver. Farm work must be done with
the horses at walk and a slight diff
ference in the rate at which the
team gets over the ground makes a
great difference in the work accomp-
lished.
The great trouble with most teams
is that they are allowed to get into
the habit Of dragging along at the
rate of about two miles an hour, even
when going unloaded and this habit
becomes fixed and impossible to rem
edy, for the farm horse that gets in
the notion Of going slowly will poke
along in spite of any urging that may
be used.
There is much farm work that is
very light on the team. Cultivating is,
not heavy work and drawing now
ing machine does not call for more
than small fraction of power a
horse may exert without injury.
Hauling loads to market is not heavy
work when the roads are good and all
these kinds of work should be done
with the team walking at rate that
would keep man on comfortable
dog-trot all the time.

KEEPING Sheep In Pasture.

In keeping our sheep in pasture,
we use woven wire fencing. Our sheep
have always been easily controlled,
never having learned to be unruly. A
woven wire fence with wires close to-
gether, with wire 80 inches high and
with one barbed wire on top and six
inches above top wire, with posts 80
feet apart, makes good fence. If
other stock besides sheep run In the
pasture have another barbed wire on
top. Never have slack wires. Have
the end posts anchored soundly and
have the wires drawn tight. Flocks
differ greatly in regard to fences. II
the farmer never has poor fences he
will find his sheep the easiest stock
to control on the farm.

Behind the Bars.

on the town farm. situated on the st.
Adams road, several miles from this
village.
Several weeks ago, however, a
neighbor who lives near the town
farm stated the facts to local news
paper man and suggested an investiga-
ton. DR.. J. H. Murphy, town physi-
clan, was seen and he told Of seeing
the woman in her cagelike room on
his visits to the farm. He also said
he had talked with her. Asked IL in
his opinion the woman was insane,
DR.. Murphy replied that in his opinion
she was perfectly sound mentally.
Supt. Beane of the town farm when
questioned stated that the woman was
locked up when he took charge of the
farm last spring, and that he saw no
reason why she should be confined.
All he wanted, he said, was an order
from thu selectmen for her release.
A newspaper correspondent, accom-
panied by e. A. Russ, local attorney,
visited the town farm and had long
talk with Miss Prescott. The woman

with purpose, for in her earnestness
and the beautiful simplicity of her de-
livery she brings these dead words to
life again. The emotions Of her au-
dience are deeply stirred.
Most remarkable is her command Of
language, the variety and scope Of her
vocabulary. Never once does she hest
tate for a word or illustration.
1t is great step in the little girls
life that she should come to New York
to speak her message to America, but
without consciousness of self she is
completely absorbed in her mission
and accepts, without question, the
advice of friends that she can do good
with her preaching in this city.
