Value of Corn Fodder.

While it is a we'll known fact that
the fodder of corn has a feeding value
almost equal to the corn itself, it is
not practicable to utilize it fully. The
best that we can do is to save about
three-fourths Of it's actual feeding
value. 1t is true that one may save
fully so per cent Of the bulk Of its
value, but at that he may be able to
save only 70 per cent Of its feeding
value.
The corn harvester is absolutely es-
sential in the economy Of the fodder
saving. The scarcity Of farm labor
makes the cost of saving fodder in
the old way entirely too expensive,
and this Is where the corn harvester
shows it's value.
It is a simple effective machine and
can easily be handled by the ordinary
farm hand It is quite the equal of
the modern self binder for grain and
there is no machine on the farm that
will prove to be a better investment.
1t is a great mistake to allow any
of the corn crop to go to waste After
all the work of planting and cultlva-
ton the crop it is poor business to al
low any of the fodder to escape. BY
the use Of the corn harvester the husk-
er and shredder fully 80 per cent OF
the bulk of the fodder can be saved,
and it will pay to the proportion OF
labor expended as we'll as any crop
on the farm,

Union loss was 5000. The Confetler
ate loss 12,2S1. In other words, 2S,3W
men were put out of active service In
three days. At Chickamauga Sept. Is
and 20, 1868, the Union loss was 49,
S51 and the Confederate loss 1891, an
average Of about 1900 a day. Still
human life is Of more value in 1906
than it was in 1868 The work value
of a man is greater to-day than it was
then, and it is said to be law of the
Fates that as work value increases the
mortality wrought in warfare decreas-
es. Which may or may not be so.
July l, 2 and 3, 1868, at Gettysburg
the Union loss was, killed 2,S34, wound
ed BOO, missing 664S, and the Con-
average loss per day on that battle
field of 1900 men. At Antietam Sept
II, 1862, the Union loss was 12,469,
Confederate loss 5000 to 10000, or
total Of at least 21,500. The second
Bull Run was fought Aug. % and 30,
1862 The Union forces lost $4,000 men
and the Confederates S,400. In the
battle Of the Wilderness May and
6, 1864, the Union side was crippled by
the loss of $4,000 men and the COnfed-
crate by loss of 1900 men. The
Germans and French did equally as well
at Mars la-Tour Aug. 16, 1870. The
German loss in killed and wounded was
10000. The French loss in killed
wounded and prisoners was 1900. One
regiment lost forty-nine officers and
1,736 men, but this regimental loss does
not compare with the Union loss at the
time Of the first discharge Of the Con-
federate batteries and musketry at the
battle of the Wilderness, when it is
estimated that In five minutes 5000
Union soldiers were wounded and kill
ed Gravelotte, Aug. 18, 1870, was q
carnage to be remembered. The Ger
mans left upon the field 2O,159 dead or
wounded men. The French lost be-

osophically, the fact that the world has
been cursed is easily apparent. It is
also undisputed that man In some dim.
dumb incohate way has always striven
to lift the curse, and it is equally true
that as age has succeeded age some
amelioration Of conditions has gone Oh
very unsatisfactory at first and with
meager results, considering the vast
expenditure Of life and effort But it
has gone on and it is going on. That
is evolution.
But the gift which actually made it
possible in any practicable way to lift
the curse upon MAJ, is Jesus Christ.
In His life, in His example, in His
teachings are to be found the only pos
sible means Of really greatly lettering
the world, and in proportion as they
are perceived more clearly, entered into
more thoroughly, understood and prac-
ticed more obediently, the work pro-
crosses.
Some day dirt and disease will dis
appear. Some day poverty and III
day lust and greed will be forgotten
Some day love and light will prevail.
Some day the curse Of these things and
of whatever drags men down shall be
lifted. This Is not inference; it is the
direct, positive, uneQuivocal statement
Of the Lord. It is declaration from
God Himself through Jesus Christ, His
Son, uttered in the last recorded words
He addressed to the children of men
when He spoke to ST. John in the WIS.,
ions of Patmos.
Amid wondrous declarations, in the
form Of allegory, concerning the New
Jerusalem, which is held before mans
hope, there is one plain, grim, simple
line thrown amid the poetry stamped
across its mysticism like a bar Of steel
laid on the petal Of a flower, abrupt,
almost harsh in it's lack of harmony
with all that goes before, and yet the
more tremendously impressive for that
very fact, for it is almost the last
word of Jesus to His children which
you may find in the last chapter Of
| 1NCF Nla CApAl(AG uC\AaA dLACAA
| that There shall be no more curse"
| think that the very fact that the
Bible begins with a curse and ends
with it's lifting is one Of the most ire
| mendous of the many marvellous divine
attributes of the great volume. The
world Keeling on in it's dim blind way,
| reaching after God, lifting up the
bleeding hands Of toll and struggle in
| petition, its sweat-covered brow lighted
| by hope, with what patience it can
summon in it's throbbing heart is en-
| abled to proceed because it has the
promise Of the world of God, Who is
absolute truth, that some day, in His
own good time, the curse under which
man has always labored shall be lifted
once and for all.
Speed that day, Lord, and in the
| meanwhile let US each one here in our
several stations do what we can with
Thee for our help, our inspiration, our
guide to lift the curse upon our breth-
rem and ourselves now, to-day.

That Genesis should be related to
