Special Fodder Crops.

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 q larger proportion Of
the fodder would be consumed II 1t
could be properly cared for, SO as to
be kept in a bright condition. II hay
was treated In the same manner as fod-
der it would be rejected. but even In
the condition in which fodder is given
to stock they accept and consume q
fair quantity Of It. Farmers who nave
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 a willful waste of labor to carefully
shock the fodder and then leave 1t, for.
even IL not destroyed by winds and
rains in the field, 1t is so d~eterforated
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 mast be done
at the proper stage of growth. 50 Al to
have the stalk as s%ucculent as possible,
and as soon as the ears are removed
the fodder should be put under shelter.
It is too bulky a crop to put In the
barn, but, overlooking that point, more
care should be used in shocking 1t.
With the shredder or ensilage cutter q
large portion can be prepared, and
made ready for use, and it will not
beat If the fodder is well cured; but
one method is to have cheap sheds,
unaer which the stalks can be stored,
being packed in a to permit
of a free circulation Of air. It 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. It 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.

long been known that sod land, or land

ter, where they remain to begin work
kearly 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
IL 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 it
will be of advantage to keep the ground
clear Of weeds or heaps Of refuse, and
do not destroy the moles, as they sub

BOOMS REBATE SYSTEM
John S. CresWeIl Is Here to Perfect
an Organization.

For some time Secretary James H.
Spencer of the Commercial club
has been in correspondence with
John S. Creswell, the man who
has organized most of the rebate sys-
TENS in the, United States. As result
of this correspondence Mr.. Creswell ar
rived in Mankato this morning and will.
proceed at once to the organization OF
the Mankato Merchants Rebate assOcia-
ton. When asked about the rebate sys-
tenn Mr.. Creswell said: "The rebate plan
means that all non.residents who spend
their money in Mankato, ride free.
That sounds like bank breaking prop
osition, but in fact by the principle of
co operation the average cost is slightly
in excess of two per cent of the new
cash trade actually drawn to Mankato
by the rebate system. Rebates of ear
fare are usually paid by a bank or
banks during banking hours and at 9TH
er proper and convenient places at other
hours. The Inauguration of the rebate
system i'm Mankato will mean an addi-
ton of from a million and half to
two millions of dollars of new trade in
the next year. The only man who pays
anything is the man who gets the trade,
and he pays in the exact proportion OF
cash trade he actually receives. The
| rebate plan is of indirect interest to
every citizen who wants a good town,
but it is of vital interest to the re-
taller alone. For this reason the local
rebate association will be distinct or
oanization at first with it's own Officers
and directors"
Secretary Spencer stated today that
| he had brought the matter of the re-
bate system to the attention OF the
| Commercial club but that organization
had taken no action.

"AFTER THE BATTLE"
Sermon BY Rev. Glare at Centenary
Church Last Evening.
From Mondays Daliy,

.
Rev. Peter Clare, pastor Of Centenary
Methodist church. delivered sermon on
After the Battle" last night. During
his discourse he referred to the late
municipal contest in this city and asked
that every loyal citizen give his support
to the new administration. Righteous
ness, Rev. Clare said, would never be
made permanent by spurts of reform.
Eternal vieilence is the price of clean
government. The people must stand by
the men on the firing line. They must
have strong support. Criticize. whenever
criticism is just-not carping criticism
that emanates from those who stand on
the street corners and cry how thing
ought to he done. Every man will make
mistakes, but Judge q, man by the use
he makes of his mistakes. If mistakes
are made they can be remedied.
Rev. Clare arraigned those, representa-
tives in senate and house from Blue
Earth county who voted; against county
option. He advised the people to re-
member them, and when they ask for
favors at the next election turn them
down, He contras1ted the action of the
Minnesota legislature with that of the
Colorado law makers, who passed a
county option bill that was. readily
signed by the governor Heh apologised
for the Minnesota legislators and felt
grieved to think that they had gone
over to the liquor interests. However,
he looked forward to the time when
Minnesota would have a county option
