WHY HUsK ALL THE CORN?

tits customary in the Northwest to
husk most of the corn crop that is
not put into the silo. The expense
of husking is from four to six cents
per bushel. In addition to the ex-
pense, corn-husking takes much time
needed for other fall work So far as
possible, it would be wise to husk only
the corn needed for inside feeding.
Stockers and feeders can be very
successfully fed on bundle corn. Such
cattle followed by the brood sows or
other store hogs make use of the en-
tire corn crop without waste, when fed
in this form, Fattening hogs can husk
a good proportion of the corn field and
make good gains at the same time.
They can be allowed to run in the
standing corn until snow falls, if they
are given couple of loads of straw to
nest in. If it is not possible to finish
them in the standing corn; they can
profitably be finished on bundle-corn.
They will waste the slower to some ex-
tent, but portion of this can be
picked up by colts, sheep or cattle.

WHERE DOES CREDIT BELoNG7
Much Discussion as To Whom Belongs
Praise for Starting Minnesota
Movement
The Albert Lea Tribune says:

The Albert Lea Tribune says:
And now we are told that Governor
Eberhart was the instigator of the
idea Of buying cattle in the Southwest
land shipping them into the State and
feeding them for market. We noticed
report to that effect in the Twin City
papers, but thought it mistake, as we
had noticed suggestion to the same
effect from some of the State bankers
some time before, and there were a
number of carloads shipped into the
State before the Governor got busy.
But last week at one of the develop
ment meetings the Governors Private
Secretary reiterated the fact and said
that the honor belonged to the Cover
lnor, and so the bankers who got the
scheme going and offered to finance
the farmers for the purpose will have
to take back seat and suck their
thumbs.
Since this question has been raised
lit is only proper that the credit be
placed where it belongs. The original
suggestion, we believe, came from Mr.
George D. Dayton, the Minneapolis
merchant. 1t was printed on the first
page of The Journal on August IL in
1.-THE form of an interview with Mr.
Dayton, whose own experience in stock
raising suggested the plan to his mind
and who outlined it at some length
Later on the plan was taken up by
bankers and others, and on September
% committee of citizens informally
named by the Governor assembled to
discuss theproject.-M Minneapolis Jour

The corn stalks are converted into
manure by being worked over and
trampled by the stock. While there
may be small waste of feed, there
is large saving of labor in handling
the crop in this way. The problem
should be studied carefully by the man
who has stock to feed and if the saw

feed, the husking should be avoided

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING

This is selected by Golfers Weekly
las Secretary Bryan's best story:
The year after coming to Nebraska,
in 1888, delivered fifty speeches
against the Republican candidate for
Governor, and in each: one made it
clear why he should not be elected.
He was elected, however, by the
usual majority.
On the following st. Patrick's Day
was to make short speech, and Gov
ernor Thayer whom had tried to de-
feat) presided. 1t was varied pro-
gram, consisting of songs and speeches
and vaudeville numbers. 1t was the
first time ] had been in the presence
of the Governor, and / wondered whe-
Their he felt any resentment toward me
for all the work / had done against
him.
At last my turn was reached. The
Governor, having been prompted by
another man, arose and said: The
hext person on the program is w j.
Bryan" and as / came forward he
stepped toward me, smiled, and ex-
tended his hand. / felt greatly pleased
that he did not harbor any resentment
against me, and grasped his hand
warmly as he drew me toward him and
whispered: "Quickl Do you speak,
sing, or dance 2"
He had never even heard of me.

their title a family vault, in which
sleep many generations of ancestors.
When ine1911 the Dowager Duchess de
la Roche-Guyon dies, the present duke,
breaking with the family tradition,
buried his mother in the little COM
munal cemetery few hundred yards

rie Joseph de la Rochefoucauld, younger
brother of the duke, demanded that the
