Shredded stove-.

For winter feeding of stock animals
this makes one of the finest feeds on
the farm. The modern husking and
shreddlng machinery does excellent
work, and its man-eating proclivities
have been largely eliminated. An or
binary threshing machine can be made
to do good shreddlng, but the grain is
not left in the best condition. The
greatest drawback in the use of both
husker and thresher is that they re-
quire a large force of men and teams,
hence the work Is quite expensive.
Perhaps the cheapest corn husking is
done with the little old husking peg
But 1t Is almost impossible to feed long
slower without considerable waste, and
the refuse stalks are a nuisance when
1t comes to handling the manure. These
difficulties may be overcome by running
the handhusked slower through com
mon cutter and shredder. This worh
can usually be done without employing
much. IL any outside help. In case ev
erything Is hired, the cost of the work
added to that Of hand-husking and put
ting Of the corn and slower In crib ant
NOW or stack may equal or even exceed
the expense Of machine husking and
shredding This is point for each t.
decide from his own standpoint.-Agri

Composition Of Crops.

A bulletin Of the Minnesota Experl.
ment Station discusses the composition
and characteristics of the more common
farm crops, as alfalfa. clover. peas.
rape, corn fodder, timothy, millet, etc.
In connection with the composition
Of some Of the crops the protein con-
tent of the seed Is considered. In the
case Of clover, alfalfa, peas, beans and
rape two distinct types Of seed are
shown to recur, one of high and the
other of low protein content, and the
relationship Of the physical character
istics Of the seeds to the chemical COM
position Is noted. The larger protein
content Of the seed is considered as q
possible factor in the production Of for
age crops of high nutritive value. The
quality Of the forage in livestock feed
ing is Of great Importance, because by
the use Of more concentrated nitroge
nous forage rations can be prepared
requiring smaller amounts Of grains
and milled products. The result is {
material financial saving Of stock.

It is doubtful II there IL any kind OF
fruit that will come strictly true to va
riety when grown from seed, as there
is tendency to deviate from the orig
inal One may secure something supe-
rior or the fruit may revert back to
some undesirable kind. 1t is a slow
and uncertain process. Chestnuts may
be grated when year old. The nuts
are usually placed in the ground in
rows, 6 Inches deep, early In the spring
or late in the fall, killing over them If
in the fall, and uncovering In the
spring. They are very unreliable In
terminating and prefer sandy loan.
The European varieties are larger than
the native. The native chestnuts vary
greatly, no two trees producing nuts
exactly alike in size, flavor, etc. The
foreign varieties are grated on the
American stocks. Trees grown from
American nuts can not be depended

Mud spots.

Mud spots may be removed from
white or washable material by launder-
ing. Black or dark cloth, however, may
be freshened by being rubbed with a
raw potato cut In halves (another rem
edy that Is sure to be at hand), first,
however, removing as much Of the mud
as possible with brush; the potato is
to remove the stain left by the mud,
and not the mud itself. Machine oil
marks on dainty white or colored goods
should be dipped In benzine.

Beans.


''Beans" 10 the title Of recent farm
ers' bulletin, by Professor Corbett, the
well-known horticulturist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Beans belong to one of the most impor-
tant families of economic plants with
which man has to deal-that Of le-
gumes The bean furnishes food for
both man and and beast, and at the
same time increases the fertility of
the soil. 1t is, therefore, an impOr-
tant crop, both In farm rotation and
In market garden work. The new bull
letin treats fairly of Its cultivation,
care and use.
Professor Wlaneko, of Purdue Expe-
riment Station, has Just issued an in
teresting bulletin on soy beans, COW
peas and other forage crops. The cul.
ture Of COW peas and soy beans Is be-
coming important with many farmers
as they make good forage crops and al
the same time add fertility to the soil
They belong to the legumes, and the
cost of producing Is about the same al
for corn, while their food value com
pares very favorably with corn. Sew
eral other classes Of forage plants ar,
described In the bulletin.

To Pasteuri.e MIX.

Pasteurizing milk Is very simple
process, the operator to be careful Of
the temperature, however, which is
very important When milk Is boiled
the natural flavor Is destroyed, and
some persons object to 1t. Milk is also
injured to certain extent by boiling.
To Pastuerize milk, procure long
necked bottle, which must be scrupu-
lously clean; pour in the milk and plug
the tops with cotton wool, which ex-
cludes all germs. Place the bottles In
a deep pan or other vessel and heat to
a temperature of 1853 degrees, using a
thermometer. If the temperature reach
es 160 degrees the milk will have the
odor Of being boiled. Keep the milk
heated for half an hour. The cot
ton shoppers need not be removed un-
til the milk Is desired for use. The
bottles containing the milk may be
placed In a refrigerator or some cool
receptacle. Milk so prepared can be
kept for two or three days To sterilize
milk 1t must be boiled, hence Pasteu-
rization is a different process

shown in the cut, and when working
among the canes of the berry bushes
use 1t in the way illustrated.
This tool will be found extremely
handy for this sort Of pruning any
where on the farm. 1t will work quite
well for cutting out suckers in the or
chard as in the berry row. If the canes
are quite tall straight handle may be
attached to the blade SO that one may
have 1t Of any desired length. Such a
tool costs but little, and If one has a
considerable area in berry plants 1t
will pay to have several tools made.

what, a Popular womans

A woman can not be said to be truly
attractive or popular unless she Is loved
and admired by the members Of her
own as we'll as the opposite sex. She
must be welcomed by all, old and
young. male and female, or she can not
be called an attractive woman without
reservation.
She must be herself, her best self,
at all times and with all people; she
must think and act for herself, and ex-
press her own opinions, rather than try
to copy some person she may admire, or
who Is admired by the lords of crea-
ton.
Individuality, when combined with
polite manner and tact, Is always at
tractive. A woman's happy, infectious
laugh Is better than medicine or ad.
vice, and her CHEEKY presence is al,
ways welcome as the sunshine.
A girl, tosbe truly popular, never says
mean things about other girls, think
ing that the men will like her better
and she doesn't try to monopolize the
attentions of all the men at once, but
is willing to let other girls have theiI
share of admiration and attention along
with her. She doesn't NOPE and re
treat within herself IL there are nc
men about to advise her, but she cheer
fully sets about making the best Of mat
tiers without them, and making sucf
companions as she has happier ant
brighter for her presence.

still cut by hand. Therefore the &C

truth, be called vote face. The
backward tilt, apparently, was merely
temporary alteration, which has
speedily given way before the more

is perfectly natural poise, the sweep

Poultry.

A careful observer of poultry needs
no better sign of its condition than to
watch the comb. A bright red comb
shows that the hen or male is healthy
and vigorous, and II hen, she will
probably be good layer. After the
egg supply has failed the comb will
generally lose its color. In cold wealth
or fowls with large combs must have
extra warm quarters, as they are very
easily frozen. 1t Is frozen combs more
often than anything else that makes
LeShorns and Minorcas poor winter
layers. AS their names imply, they are
natives OF warm climates, as, indeed,
most fowls are. They very rarely get
into as warm quarters In winter as
they could find anywhere In the coun-
tries where they had their original
home.
