Shredded Corn.


When corn is husked and the stover
shredded at very slight increase in
cost liver that Of husking by hand, the
practice must commend itself to every
farmer on account of the greater con-
venience with which the material may
be handled and fed, and the ability to
preserve the material from damage by
rains, ETC., says Director II. ]. Waters,
Missouri experiment station. Not only
30, but the greatest single objection to
the present method of handling stover
is the difficulty Of getting 1t out Of the
field during the winter and early spring
months without injury to the land and
the growing wheat crop, which Is often
sown in the corn in autumn.
Moreover, shredding undoubtedly re-
lieves the farmer of one of the most
disagreeable tasks on the farm-the
handling Of the coarse stalks in bad
weather, and relief from the necessity
Of digging this material out Of the snow
in winter. Likewise, II also makes II
possible to feed the material under a
shed or in the barn, using the portion
refused by stock for bedding, and still
Fave the manure in condition to be
handled easily by manure spreader.

Heaters and Cookers.


The cheapest and most economical
heater ever used was one Of my own
construction. l made a frame Of 2xS-
inch pine seven feet long and twenty
seven inches wide. put a bottom on

1t project one-half inch in each side
and fourteen inches at one end for a
stove-pipe fitting. I spiked the frame
together and covered the corners with
heavy tins to prevent any leaking. The
bottom was nailed on with two rows
Of eight-penny nails.

stovepipe and wired 1t fast to the rod.
A piece Of sheet iron was set up be-
fore the fireplace to control the draft
and keep the fire.
This heater was located near the

Farm Notes.
Full feed and light work has ruined
many good horse.
Cream kept too long may become
bitter and be full Of white fakes.
Oats are good for laying hens. Do
not be afraid they will eat too many of
them.
Sheep are a persistent agency of i'm
provement to the land on the farms
where they are kept
Success In livestock raising depends
on producing better strain Of animals
with each breeding.
Eggs are better than birds to start
duck farming, because they can be
shipped with no danger of injury.
Try hoe for mixing the shorts or
any feed that gets pasty when mixed
with water. Makes the task easier.
Variety Of food is a good appetizer.
There is no class Of stock which likes
the same ration month in and month
out.
Removable perches may be kerosened
and burned over at a safe distance
from the poultry house, and all vermin
destroyed by fire.
The price Of a bone grinder Is not
great but 1t Is sometimes unhandy or
impossible to get good supply Of
bones. 1t Is a good scheme to make ar
ranssments with a butcher for boaes
before buying the grinder.

The Flying Fox.

The flying fox Is very curious IL
habitant Of the forest near Moreton
bay, in East Australia. 1t lives in
focks and moves generally toward the
dusk Of the evening, and the noise pro-,
duced by the heavy tapping Of the So
called wings is very singular. The
focks like quiet places, where there
are large araucarian pine trees, with
an underwood of scrub and creepers.
The foxes hang in great numbers from
horizontal branches Of the pine trees.
When there Is a clear space among
the trees an enormous number of the
animals may be seen, and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark.
something like the sound made by
young rocks. Often every branch is
crowded, and the young foxes are seen
either Tapping their wings and holding
on with their hind feet and with their
heads downward, or snarling and fight
ing for places.
Suddenly the whole take to fight
and flap their furry, winglike sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to
them.
The creature is not true fox, and
there is fold Of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and 1t enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the air.

NEW WATERWORKs PLAN
7. C. Wilson Thinks Water Can be OBJ
tanned in Arkansas River Bottom.

]. c. Wilson of St. Louis, who
constructed the waterworks system
at Morrilton and is now installing
waterworks and an electric power
system at Russellville, was in the
city Tuesday comforting with Con-
way people in regard to the estab-
lishment of a system here. Mr..
Wilson believes that the solution
of the problem here lies in sinking
deep wells in the sand and gravel
of the Arkansas river bottom land,
about six miles west of Conway.
To save the expense of hauling
fuel for power house at the source
of the water he would install an
electric pump to be operated with
a current from the local light plant,
bring the water to town by gravity
and set up a standpipe here, the
pumping for which could also be
done at the light plant power
house.
He is of the opinion, no wever,
that to get a proper distribution
over IL miles of mains would be
required in the city and that the
plant complete would cost about
500, 900. The maximum amount
which the city could secure under
the present assessment, by forming
an improvement district, would be
less than $40, 900.
