Feeding Frosted Corn.

Untimely severe frosts sometimes
damage the corn crop so that its mar
ketable value is considerably lowered,
but in this event, as in other cases,
the hog comes to the rescue. Soft
corn is considered excellent for swine,
and especially for the young; in fact,
many breeders believe they can obtain
better gains from soft corn than with
the sound, hard grain. In soft corn
the maturing of the grain has been
checked, thereby arresting the devel-
opment of the starch content or fat
producing element. When used it is
advisable to add, for finishing, some
corn that is well matured. Immature
corn that is frozen and even some
what soured may be fed to hogs, but
If there is on hand greater quantity
in that condition than can be used on
the farm before warm weather sets in
it should be disposed of while the
weather is cold. Ordinarily it may
be used in cold weather without dan
ger, but it should not be carried over
into the warm season, as it will fer

Gold and Gilt.

Professor Fraser, of the Illinois
Agricultural College, makes a plain
difference in Gold and "Gilt," the
names of two cows on the college
farm. He says:
They were brought up alike on a
farm near Elgin, ILL.,, and obtained
their early education in the same herd
of 100 cows. Here at the university,
with the very same surroundings and
equal opportunities, they have drifted
apart in character, and their progress
has been in opposite directions. It is
not difference of hide, or horns, or
temper; it is not that one is wild and
the other pet. 1t is not difference
of beauty or intelligence, but solely
difference in the way they have
worked, a difference in the money
they have earned for the owner.
All the milk of these COWS has been
weighed and tested for three years.
A record has been kept of every
pound of feed consumed by each ami
NAL, both summer and winter.
Each year Gold produced on the
average 1880 pounds of milk, con-
tanning 405 pounds of butter fat, but
during the same time Gilt averaged
only $3.50 pounds of milk, with 1913
pounds of butter fat.
These cows were both cared for in
the same way; they were given the
same kinds of feed and allowed to
eat all they wanted Gold ate one
half more than Gilt, but produced
three times as much milk.
Equal amounts of feed made in the
one case 1SS pounds of butter fat
and in the other 100 pounds. The
one COW produced nearly twice as
much as the other from exactly the
same feed in kind and amount.
Counting the butter fat at twenty
three cents per pound and taking out
the exact cost of feed in each case, the
one cow brought in a profit of S34.59,
while the other lacked $500 of pay
ing for her board at market prices
of feed each year
This comparison, exact and COM
plete, for three years, and including
the record of both milk and feed,
means great deal more than a single
years comparison or one in which it
is necessary to introduce an estimate.
1t would be gratifying, indeed, if it
could be truthfully said that these
two records are extreme and excep-
tional, and therefore do not stand for
any general condition of the dairy
business. But the very opposite is

was torn in two some time ago by
some careless sightseer, and since
then no one has been allowed to han
die it, The account books which are
kept here in the State Department
show that Washington was very care
full about keeping a record of his ex-
penditures. He put down everything,
and among other items you see here
and there the amounts which he lost
at cards. In April, 1872, he lost
500 in this way at the house of Rev.
Bouscher, and little further on there

five pounds" During the time he
was candidate for the house of bur-
gesses of Virginia, when he bought
the whisky above spoken of, his losses
at cards and at the horse ra as are
frequent. The curious thing about
his accounts is that there was almost
always deficiency at the end of the
year which he could not account for.
This made no difference, however,
with his starting a new year with a
fresh account, for one item at this
time is as follows: "By cash, either
lost, stole or neglected to charge, 144
pounds, 8 shillings and II pence" In
other words. he was short that year
over $500.
Economical, But Not Stingy.
Through his letters now owned by
the Government one may see here
and there certain correspondence
which shows that he was very hard
up at times. In 1885 he wrote that
he could get no wheat on credit, and
that he had no cash to pay for 1t.
Three years later he urges a man to

this money to pay his taxes. He was
not afraid to dun his debtors, and he
is said to have been one of the shrewd-
est dealers among the planters of his
time. He was always preaching econ
omy to his servants, but on the whole
was somewhat lenient, as, for in
stance, he employed one man, car
penter. making a contract with him
for a year and providing therein he
was to have four days in which he
might get drunk about Christmas.
Washington was economical, but not
stingy. He could not endure waste of
any kind, and he went over his estate
doing his best to stop the leaks. In
one of his letters home he urges that
the greatest economy be used in feed
ing the hay at the mansion house He
writes:

ever, good table, and usually had
friends with him. | have a book
written by Maclay, which gives his
experiences when he was in the
United States Senate at the time
Washington was President. Maclay
dined with Washington number of
times, and scattered through his
diary are bits of gossip about Wash
ington, At two of the dinners he
describes Washington as amusing
himself between the courses by play
ing the devils tattoo upon the table
with his fork. At another time he
says: "The President kept fork in
his hand when the cloth was taken

pose of picking nuts. He ate no nuts,

the edge of the table with it.
A George Washington Fish Story.
Washington, al this time, had some
trouble in keeping mp his establish
ment. When the Revolutionary War
closed he had plenty of land, but lit
tie money. He had exhausted his
private fortune during the war. and
he had to borrow enough to take him
to New York to be inaugurated as
President. The result was he was
quite careful of his expenses, and
would not tolerate extravaganza. An
instance of this kind occurred one day
when he founl the first shad of the
season on his table. The President

while on the other hand IL they be
hard mixers the mixer becomes dis
couraged and impatient, and fails to
draw out the natural quantity. The
COW or heifer will then soon show the
effects of this by drying up on her
milk. In this way many a valuable
cow has become practically worthless
as milk producer.
Hard milking in cows or heifers
can be positively overcome in a short
period of time and in a very econom-
ical way, not by the use of the milk
ing tube, but by the use of the teat
plug.
The teat should be washed with an
antiseptlc solution, the teat plug
should be dipped in a like solution,
then in little ointment and passed
into the point of the teat, and being
self-retaining, should be permitted to
remain in the teat from one milking
to another. In this manner hard
milking can be made a thing of the
past.

Disappearance of Lakes.

Whether the globe on which we
dwell is gradually drying up or not is
a question that has been much de-
bated. Recent discoveries in central
Asia have been regarded by some as
fayoring an affirmative answer, but
others have replied that the observed
phenomena are simply periodic
changes. DR.. Walser, of Zurich,
champions the affirmative view on
the ground that great number of
European lakes have certainly dis

The canton of Zurich, for example,
