Farm Notes.
—During the year the Wisconsin ex-
periment station fed cornsta'ks against
hay, the proportions being 2374 pounds
of cornstalks, 280 pounds of cornmeal
and 392 pounds of bran, which produced
1120 pounds of milk and 57 pounds of
butter, while 755 pounds of hay, with
the same quantities of cornmeal and
bran, gave 1063 pounds of milk and 56
pounds of butter. Although the experi-
ment showed thal one pound of hay
was about equal to three pounds of
corn fodder, yet it demonstrates that
enough of the latter food will be eaten
to more than equal the hay, but a large
portion of the fodder was unconsumed.
The next experiment was with cut fod-
der, the result being that the fodder
was nearly all eaten and it was found
that 858 pounds produced the same
amount of milk that was procured from
1343 pounds fed whole, or uncut, the
difference between the cut and uncut
varying from 12 to 60 per cent., accord-
ing to the variety of corn.
At the New Hampshire College
with fodder that had been shredded,
and with crushed fodded at the Missouri
station, the results were very satisfac:
tory, the cattle eating it with but little
waste, and it proved equal to hay. It
must not be overlooked that the value
of corn fodder depends upon its being
harvested at the proper stage of growth,
and that it must be properly cured. It
is given a rank in value at about three-
fourths that of good hay when har-
vested and properly cured, and then
cut up or shredded. The cost depends
upon the labor of cutting or preparing
it, but at the present day the fodder
cutters perform such word quickly and
perfectly, while the shredders permit of
its being fed into the machine as rapidly
as wheat can be passed through a
thresher, from which iteomes in a fine
condition. With such food, and the
use of ground grain and bran, the corn
fodder crop is one of the most valuable
on the farm if farmers will utilize it to
the best advantage.
—A farmer whose cows were dry
sent to a large city for a tub of butter,
and paid 25 cents a pound for choice.
As he had never received over 20 cents
a pound for that formerly sold by him
he determined to give more attention
to selling, and secured better prices.
The lesson taught is that farmers do
not give sufficient attention to selecting
_, markets or seeking customers, which is
"a very important matter with other
classes of business men.
—Manuure-making in winter is one of
the best operations on the farm at that
season, because labor cannot be be-
stowed in other directions as well as on
the manure heap. It is not difficult to
have all of the manure well rotted by
spring, and there is less loss when it is
in heaps than if allowed to remain
spread out over the barnyard. Manure
heaps should be handled several times,
throwing the coarse materials in the
centre, where they will be heated and
decompose.
—It ghould be with great care that
seed potatoes for next year are procured.
It is often the case that the rot is
brought on the farm in the seed, and
once the land is infected it will be diffi-
cult to eradicate the disease. Potatoes
grown from seed coming from the North
are claimed to have better keeping
qualities than those grown from South-
ern seed. Seed should be procured on-
ly from reliable parties, and from sec-
tions where no disease exists, if possible
to do so.
—Keeping the boy on the farm de-
pends on what his impressions may be in
his early days. A young colt or two every
year, with the calves, lambs and pigs
make the farm attractive to the boys,
and if they can be given an interest in
them so much the better. The happi-
est days of the young farmer are those
spent with the baby animals, and he
will watch their growth until they are
matured.
—TFowls need exercise and if they
have a dry location they should have
a lot of leaves or cut straw in which to
scratch. Over feeding is a drawback to
egg production, and so is roosting on
tree limbs, which allow exposure to
cold rain storms, which brings on roup,
a disease that sweeps the whole flock
away.
—This is an excellent time to help
the lawn by giving it an application of
wood ashes, at the rate of half a ton an
acre. In the spring an application of
fifty pounds of nitrate of scda may then
be applied. The frequent mowing of
grass robs the soil of fertility.
—ZEvery dog kept on a farm should
be useful for some purpose. There are
too many worthless night prowlers and
curs. A collie can be made to bring up
the cows and make himself serviceable,
Any dog known to kill sheep should be
destroyed at once.
—Onions are imported into this
country every year. Wedo pot grow
enough of them for ordinary use, while
the supply of small white onions for
pickling is seldom up to the demand at
any period of the growirg season.
—As goon as the ground is frozen cut
away the old wood of the blackberries
and raspberries. A good shovelful of
manure around each bunch of canes
will benefit them when they start to
rrow in the spring.
—1I¢t is said that there is not now a
single merino sheep in England. The
British farmers make a specialty of
mutton in place of wool, and consider
sheep very profitable stock.
— We buy over 30,000,000 pounds of
currants from foreign countries, and
yet it isa fruit bat thrives in nearly
all sections of the United States.
—Much of the farm help is incom pe-
tent, which accounts for the ever pres-
ent demand for experienced men on the
farms.
The American iron company, of
Birmingham, Ala.. that carried off the
contract to supply Tokio; Japan, with
cast iron pipe for water works, against
English, French and Belgian competi-
tion, has secured a large contract for
Honolulu. The Russian government
has also recently contracted with an
American firm for the construction of a
number of steel clad corvettes. Under
the Wilson law the American manufac-
turer will enter the markets of the world
as a formidable competitor. Our ex-
ports of coal to foreign countries is
largely increasing, notwithstanding free
coal was the demagogic cry that defeat-
ed Wm. L. Wilson. He will be vindi-
cated, and his greatest triumphs is to
come in the complete acceptance of his
tariff principles by the Republican par-
ty, which has already deposited Me-
Kinleyism in its cold, cold grave, with
no mourners in attendance. The Chi-
cago Tribune is pretty good authority
for the Republican party, and it says :
“When the Republican national con-
vention meet in June of 1896 to tell the
voters what the Republican party will
do if successful in the fall, neither Sena-
tor Cullom nor any other man will de-
mand that the McKinley bill be made the
issue of the campaign, and that the peo-
ple be asked to vote, not against the
Wilson-Gormon bill, but for the Mec-
Kinley bill. Not one of them will dare
to do it. He will remember 1890 and
1892 and will refuse to blunder a third
time.”
It Was a Bit of Bluff,
Ruben E. Kolb, the defeated Popu-
list-Republican candidate for governor,
who threatened to seize the government
of Alabama, Saturday, didn’t do it.
The 60,000 Populist-Republicars, whom
he said would rally to his aid in Mont-
gomery on that day, didn’t materialize.
Less than 200 of his misguided followers
presented themselves. However, they
did not show the slightest disposition to
engage in any such suicidal madness as
attempting to resist the inauguration of
Col. Oates, the lawfully elected execu-
tive.
Notwithstanding all his bluster, Kolb
did not even step on the grass of the
capitol grounds during the day.
‘While his final course was a very wise
one, it was widely at variance with the
swagger and boasting he had been in-
dulging in during the past two months,
Kolb succeeded in raising about $50,-
000 among certain northern Republicans
for campaign purposes in August last.
It is suspected his recent theatrical play
was for effect on his northern financial
allies and in the hope of again ‘‘bleed-
ing’’ them.
What He Would Do.
Lord Aberdeen tells the following
story of himself : He left London at
midnight in a sleeping car for the
North. In the morning when he was
awakened he saw a stranger opposite
him.
“Excuse me,”’ said the stranger,
“may I ask if you are rich ?”
Somewhat surprised, his lordship re-
plied that he was tolerably well-to-
do.
“May I ask,” continued the stranger,
“how rich you are ?"’
“Well, if it will do you any good to
know,” was the reply, “I suppose I
have several hundred thousand
pounds.”
“Well,” went on the stranger, “if I
were as rich as you and snored as loud-
ly as you I should take a whole car, so
as not to interrupt the sleep of oth-
ers.”’
Nathan Straus, who refused to
become a victim of misplaced political
confidence, is still a philanthropist. The
Straus coal yards, which helped to
make lighter the lois of many poor fam-
ilies last winter, were opened to-day.
The good results of this practical charity
have been such as to induce Mr. Straus
to geater efforts this winter. By buying
coal in 5,000 ton lots and selling 25
pounds for five cents he is keeping
them warm in thedraughty tenements.
This price does not quite cover all ex-
penses, but Mr. Straus willingly pays
the difference out of his own pocket and
is content with pocketing the prayers of
his grateful consumers.
For rheumatism I have found
nothing equal to Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. It relieves the pain as soon as
applied. J. W. Young, West Liberty,
W. Va., The prompt relief it affords
is alone worth many times the cost 50
cents. Its continued use will effect a
permanent cure. For sale by F. P.

heretofore the custom has been to sell goods

of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
