Among the curious Bibles is the

Ing the phrase, "Printers have perse-
cuted me without cause" psalm cxix,
1871. The substitution Of the word
''printers" for princes" is responsible
for the giving Of this name to this
Bible. All we know of this edition is
stated by Stevens in his catalogue Of
the Caxton exhibition Of Bibles. This
authority tells us that these words
were put into Bible printed before
1902.
There is also the "Ears to Ear" Bible,
in which occurs the expression "Whoso
hath ears to ear, let him hear" (Mat-

practical experience of stockmen who
have tried this method of feeding
notably that of Mr.. w. F. Hubbard, OF
Warsaw, Mimi, related in the Mime.
sofa Farmers Institute Annual for
1908, and quoted by Professor A. D.
Wilson, in an address before the Min
nesota Conservation congress last
March-would seem to point to bun
die feeding as the plan best adapted
to the utilization of every particle Of
value III the corn, as we'll as the plan
most economical in the handling of
the crop in feeding fattening cattle.
1t does away with all expenditure for
labor in husking, and in stacking the
cornstalks in field or barn. The corn
is fed in bundles direct from shock to
feed-rack, thus requiring only sin
gle handling after it has been placed
in the shock. Mr.. Hubbard cuts his
corn as soon as most of the ears are
denied, and sets it up in tightly-com-
pressed Shocks, thirty to thirty five
bundles in each. 1t is declared that
nowhere does corn keep so we'll as in
such shock.
BY Mr.. Hubbard's plan steers are
bought, for fattening, a little more
than a year before they are to go into
the feed-lot. They are carried through
the first winter by allowing them to
clean up the stalks left by the feed
ing steers preceding them, with an
additional ration of from three pints
to three quarts of shelled corn per
day. or it's equivalent in bundle corn.

age to stock in the yard.
This little feed not only maintains
their strength, but prepares the way
for their ready acceptance of the
kind of feed they will have when they
go into the feed-lOt the next winter.
They are pastured through the sum-
mer and fall, receiving, after the corn
is cut, light additional feed of fall
en- ears, picked up and scattered from
the wagon on the pasture Pigs run
with the cattle in the feed-yard, so
there is no waste. When the fallen
corn is gone, the steers are fed, on
the pasture, bundle corn at the rate of
one bundle per steer per day.
About Dec. they go into the feed
lot, which they never leave until they
go to market. At first they are fed
twice day from the lightest bundles
of corn. Not until the first of Feb.
ruary are they placed upon full feed
It is the aim to keep on the safe side,
and never over-feed.
Concerning the value of bundle
corn, Mr.. Hubbard expresses himself
as follows: II consider it by far the
best and cheapest feed known, posi-.
bly, excepting ensilage, with which
have had no experience. I know moth
ing about chemical analysis, but l Dc
know that bundle corn seems to fur
nlsh a complete and perfect ration
from start to finish. Steers never tire
of it, nor seem to prefer single bite

cheWed over in the cud, which makes
digestion SO complete that there is no
danger that hog will get over-fat

of scours, nor steer seriously over

Thirty-eight acres of corn, ordinary
in quantity and quality, in 1907, did
| this for Mr.. Hubbard: 1t fulfilled, un-
til May IL, twenty-three steers, for
the feed and labor expended on which
he received $1,150. 1t fulfilled for the

most of the feed for twenty-four good

and came out in the pink Of condition.

which stole their living and kept as

Method OF Making Selections for
Proper Test. -
The Minnesota Experiment Station
will analyze soils for the farmers
when 1t is selected as follows:
If the soil to be analysed is sod,
remove sod about a foot square,
shake the dirt back into the hole, and
take out all the surface soil to the
depth of nine inches, but If the sur
face soil is not nine inches deep take
1t out to the bottom of the pillow line,
or to where such soil begins. Thor
oughly mix the soil, and put about two
pounds in tight bag. Label it "sur-
face SOIL"
Then, after removing all the surface
soil from the hole, take a sample of
the subsoil to a depth of nine inches.
If the surface soil is several feet deep,
the subsoil may be taken at the depth
OF from nine to eighteen inches. Thor
oughly mix the subsoil, and place in a
tight bag, labelled ''subsoil"
Take three soils from three places
at least one hundred feet apart. If
the land is billy and broken, select
five places similar distance from
each other and place in bags as above
directed. Take samples in the same
manner from other parts of the field.
Place all surface soil samples in one
larger bag, labelled surface SOIL" and
all subsoil bags in larger bag, la
belled "subsoil." The total weight of
each bag should be about ten pounds.
Put the two large bags in a box, or
strong bag, and ship, freight prepaid,
to Division of Soils, Experiment Sta.
ton, Minnesota Transfer, st. Anthony
Park, Minnesota.
Further directions, for record pur-
poses, will be furnished free on appli-
cation to the Division, and they should
be in the hands of the farmer before
he takes his samples from the ground.

The LOTIONS Of St. Louis during the

pick up palace, that they could af-

as might at first appear. Time was
when all fine houses in Europe were
