Short COrnstalkS.

Every farmer who feeds corn fodder
knows how difficult it is to pitch the
manure from the stables in which the
stalks have been used for bedding.
When the fork is thrust into the COM
pact manure the long stalks run so
lar in every direction and hold so
tightly that the man at the fork be-
gins to think that he will be compelled
to lift the entire bottom out of the
stall with the first forkful. The long
stalks make both loading and unload
ing of the manure very difficult.
A Missouri farmer has just given
his way, which we think is a good
way, Of feeding corn fodder to make
better bedding of the refuse stalks and
to make the handling of the manure
easier. He ties his corn fodder, or
corn slower, in bundles after husking,
for storage. At feeding times he takes
these bundles and cuts them with an
AK across a large wooden block into
three or four shorter lengths. These
short lengths are then placed in the
managers for the COWS and horses to
pick over and are then thrown into
the stables and stalls for bedding. He
claims that slower cut into shorter
lengths is easier for the stock to pick
over, that it helps to keep the stalls
heater, and that it is better in many
ways. Where these short lengths of
corn stalks are used in the bedding
the handling of the manure is easy.
Corn stalks are valuable by-prod-
uct of the corn crop when used in the
right way, and there are many good
ways of using them. Dry corn stalks
are porous, spongy, and are good alb
sorbers of liquids. They are bulky and
fill UP fast, hence aid in keeping the
stall floors fully covered and the ami
mails dry. Wheat, oat or rye straw
mixed with the dry corn stalk bed
ding makes an almost complete alb
sorber of the liquids and saves all of
the rich fertilizers.-Exchange

LADDER. other side are pins to keep
it in place when it is extended to it's
full length. Either in it's extended or
its short form this ladder is a safe
one, but it has no back support and
must be leaned against the wall. After
the top section has been bent down on
one side it folds back and when the
second section is down the three fold
together like a three-part screen.
When the ladder is not in use it can
be slowed away behind a door or in
any corner as it does not take up as
much room as a chair.

When asked by the Banner in re-

1t is presumed, however, chat Rev.
Revennaugh will accept the call.
Rev. Revennaugh has been the
pastor of the Presbyterian church of

service he has rendered has been
very satisfactory to the membership
of the church. He and his family
have made many warm friendships

ing here will be a matter of much

sTATEsMAN's GLASSES
Slip Down Fair Lady's Back at Wash
ington, and Husband Calmly
Yanks EN- Out

New York, Feb. PA Washington
dispatch to the American says:
"Over the teacups this afternoon
Washington society laughed heartily
about two White House incidents at
the Army and Navy reception last
Tuesday which are going the rounds
of cheerful gossips. The Lenten sea-
son is dull one, and today was one
of it's dullest days-no dinner parties,
no dances, no receptions-so the two
really noteworthy anecdotes filled a
gap in the days amusement.
"The dramatis personae of the first
story includes a celebrated statesman
rather on in years who wears glass
es. While trying to adjust them to
his acquiline nose on Tuesday night
they slipped from his fingers-not to
the floor, but down the low-cut gown
of a young navy matron who was
standing in front of him.
"The statesman was in dispair, and
finally appealed to the lady's husband
to recover his property. With the u.s.
ual thoughtlessness Of married men,
Mr.. Husband reached down his wife's
back and fished out the glasses before
all the guests.
"The other laughable incident came
when a careless dancer caught her
hand in the imposing coiffure of a
stately white.haired Washington ma
tron, displacing several of the puffs
and curls. Much chagrined, she fixed
ii back again, but, alas! at least $50
worth of the puffs had fallen to the
ground.
"An absentminded admiral of ma
tional renown picked up the snow
white puffs, mistaking them for his
pocket handkerchief. put them in his
pocket and stalked majestically off
to his carriage"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

New York, Feb. 12.-Certain
crimes of a bold and daring nature
have always been considered mans
exclusive prerogative. 1t was the
genera belief that women lacked the
courage and brazennes required for
such crimes as highway robbery
burglary and acts of a similar ma
ture. Recent events have clearly
shown, however, that this balief, like
80 many of the ideas of the anti-suf-
fragists, rested upon an underesti-
nation of women's ability. Ii plain
ly reflects credit upon women's as
tuteness, that two crafty women sue
ceeded in robbing banker of a large
sum of money while he was walking
along much frequented street. The
other day two women, in broad day
light, entered a fashionable apart
ment on West 151st street while the
occupants were absent, gathered up
$3.50 in cash and jewels and silver
ware valued at $4,000, and escaped,
walking past the ianitress, carrying
their ,plunder under their bulging
cloaks.
What makes the two mems daring
even more remarkable is, that while
they were in the apartment, robDlne
the place, the owner unexpectedly
returned, without being able to scare
away the thieves. They had locked
themselves in and kept their key
In the lock on the inside, thus max
ing it impossible for the owner OF
the janitor to open the door. The
owner never suspected that there
were thieves in his apartment, but
believed that there was something
wrong with the lock. He. left the
house for short time, visiting his
married daughter, and during his
absence the two thieves unlocked the
door and, carrying their plunder un-
der their cloaks, walked down the
stairs, past the janitress and out of
the house. No trace of them has
been found.

The Interstate Bridge commission
has at last selected a site for the pro-
POSED Hudson bridge and has sub
mitted its report to the legislature.
The site selected by the commission
upon the recommendation of the en-
gineers is from West 10th street
in New York to the Palisades in New
Jersey. The bridge is to cost S1O,-
100000. The site is said to have
many natural and other advantages
The river is narrower there than at
any other point within the limits OF
Greater New York and the land in
the vicinity of the site is but little
improved SO that the lang damages
Will be comparatively small.
