FARM NOTES.
Best Way to to Up the Fodder Crop.
The time for saving only the corn and
making little or no account of the fodder
has gone by.
It is calculated that the fodder from a
crop of corn that has been cut up in sea-
son at the roots and properly cured will
equal in value for feeding purposes one-
third of the entire crop. This being the
case, there is a great loss in allowing so
munch feeding material to go to waste. It
makes all the difference between profit
and less in producing the crop.
Properly prepared, this corn fodder makes
a valuable food for milk cows, as good as
the average quality of hay, and the amount
realized per acre should be about the same.
This is well worth saving, to say the least.
Now as to the best methods for prepar-
ing this fodder for stock. With the large
growth of corn in the west and south there
would undoubtedly be too much waste in
feeding the stalks whole, and not much at-
tention has yet been given to putting this
kind of fodder in the silo.
On the average sized farm in the corn
growing districts there is, or should be,
some kind of power—horse or steam.
Where this is the case the way is plain.
Get a two or three horse-power shredder,
with elevator if desired, and with this pre-
pare the fodder for use.
If this, after the corn has been husked,
has been properly put up and cared for the
work of shredding can be done as wanted
for use during the winter, or if it is dry
enough to put in a mass, then a large
amount can be prepared at once if desired.
In cold weather we have found an advan-
tage in preparing enough at one time to
last several days, and when leftin a pile it
will warm up considerably, making it
more palatable for stock.
Corn fodder that is shredded is put in
the best condition for feeding. Itis next
to pulping. There are no sharp ends to
make the months of cattle sore, as is other-
wise sometimes the case. There need be
no fear that stock will not relish fodder
prepared in this way or that there will be
a loss in feeding. By this process all parts
of the stalks are pretty well mixed and the
waste is imperceptible.
Treated in this way, the large amount
‘of fodder in the great corn growing regions
can be disposed of at good advantage and
become a profitable source of income.
Shredded corn fodder can also be readily
baled the same as hay and thus prepared
for market, as I understand is beginning to
be done.
On the average sized farm the owner
should have some such arrangement as this
for his own use. Not only can the stalks
from which the corn has been removed he
shredded, but what is termed ‘fodder
corn’’—that is, a crop raised especially for
fodder without the ears being husked out
—can be prepared in the same way. This
makes one of the best milk and butter pro-
ducing foods that we have. Where very
large tracts of corn are raised the combin-
ed husker and shredder might be used to
good advantage, but this article is intend-
‘ed more for the benefit of the smaller farm-
ers who desire to do their own work and
make the best possible use of their entire
crop of corn.—ZF. R. Towel in Massachusetts
Plowman.
—The advantages of fall plowing over
the same operation in the spring are dwelt
upon by Prof. H. Snyder, of the College of |
| Perhaps no southern custom is prettier than
Agriculture of the University of Minnesota.
‘Fall plowing keeps the humus and nitro-
gen of the soil in better condition than late
spring plowing. Nitrification goes on in
thesoil until quite late in the fall, and in
the south thz process goes on the entire
year. The change is most rapid near the
surface, where there is plenty of oxygen
from the air. In early fall plowing the
available nitrogen formed from the humus
is near the surface, where it does the
sprouting seeds and the young crops the
most good. With late spring plowing, this
available nitrogen is plowed under, and
inert organic nitrogen is brought to the sur-
face.”
‘In old soils the process of nitrification
does not go on rapidly enough to furnish
available nitrogen to the crop. Ina new
soil the process of nitrification is liable to
go on too rapidly. Deep plowing and
thorough cultivation aid in nitrification.
Hence, the longer the soil is cultivated, the
deeper and more thorough must be its pre-
paration. Plowing must be done at the
right time, preferably in the fall so as not
to interfere with the next year’s water sup-
ply. The application of lime and wood
ashes aids in the reduction of nitrogen of
humus to available forms. and prevents the
formation of sour mold. Good drainage is
also necessary to nitrification in the soil.
In water-logged soils the humus does not
decompose normally, but peat is produced
on account of the absence of oxygen. We
thus see that nitrification, although some-
times a serious source of loss, may he large-
ly controlled by careful management of
the soil.”
—For contagious diseases among all ani-
‘mals science will certainly find a cure. Dip-
ping cures scab and Texas fever—that is to
say, the germ killing dip in connection with
disinfection and extreme cleanliness. Hog
cholera is declared by some experts to be
"the result of filth—filth in feeding and in
yarding and penning—as well as in the
transportation of swine from one place to
another. We wish the agricultural stations
would experiment earnestly and carefully
with reference to stamping out the swine
plague. We believe it can be done either
by dipping the hogs in a germ destroying
solution or inoculating them with a pre-
paration that serves the same purpose. If
scab in sheep and Texas fever in cattle can
be prevented, why, then, so can hog
cholera.
—There is no crop grown so easily and
with so little cost as late-sown turnips in a
field of well-cultivated corn. The shade of
the corn will keep the turnips from grow-
ing much until the corn is cut. Possibly
also their growth will be checked by the
demand of the corn roots for plant food.
But in the Indian summer that follows the
first frost the turnips will make rapid
growth, as they will then have all the land
for their own use. The turnip will endure
a pretty heavy frost, and grow again if
warm weather follows it. But in our cli-
mate turnips cannot be left in the ground
all winter as they are in England.— Ameri-
can Cultivator.
—A mixture of one-third petroleum and
two-thirds cottonseed oil, with a small
quantity of carbolic acid noured in, makes
a good dip for cattle afflicted with ticks or
lice. The mixture is to be poured upon
the surface of a tank of water, and the cat-
tle are to be driven through it or made to
swim in it. When they come out, the
mixture will cover their hair.

: of
Auntuamn Arbor Day.
Professor N. C. Schaeffer, superintendent
public instruction, has issued a
circular calling for the observance of
autumn Arbor day, on Friday, October
2nd. In it he says: *
“The benefits which result from Arbor
day are easily shown. The observance of
this day has led to the planting of millions
of trees. It has made the rising genera-
tion familiar with the uses and the charms
of our forests. It has drawn attention to
the value of trees for shade, for fruit and
for the arts. Very many ef the pupils of
our public schools have learned how the
reckless and wanton destruction of forests
may ruin and has ruined some of the rich-
est countries on earth. They have learned
that coal and water are the chief sources
of the mechanical power which lies at the
basis of our industrial prosperity. They
have been taught that the vegetable growth
in geological ages was transformed into the
coal which is so useful in the warming of
our homes, in the preparation of our food,
in the lighting of our cities and in the run-
ning of our machinery. They have been
taught the relation of trees to our water
supply, without which neither man nor his
crops nor his beasts of hurden ean survive.
Thev have heen taught that a sufficient
flow of water can only be preserved by pre-
serving the forests on our hillsides and
mountain tops, and that the roots of the
trees help to hide it away in the depth of
the earth until it is needed. .
‘‘Since many of the rural schools are not
in session during either of the Arbor days
appointed in the Spring of the year, it has
become the established custom for the
school department to name an Arbor day
in the fall of the year.”
Cost of Hazleton Riot.
Expense to the State for Troops Estimated at $125,-
000.
Under the law of 1887 Governor Hast-
ings has drawn a warrant on the State Trea-
surer for $65,000. with which to pay the
National Guard for service at Hazleton.
To defray earlier expenses, a warrant for
$10,000 was drawn shortly after the men
went to the mining region. It is estimated
that the total expenses will not he less
than $125,000. The commissioned officers
draw pay at the same rate paid to the
United State officers, and the lesser officers
and privates range from $3 to $1.50 per
day.
The expenses of the encampment at
Hazleton are in addition to the $350,000
annual regular appropriation for the Na-
tional Guard.
Savage Arithmetic.
Savages are not very well off for numer-
als, and their knowledge of arithmetic is
exceedingly limited. Very few savage na-
tions have distinctive words for any higher
number than four—some do not go higher
than two—all higher numbers being in-
cluded in the term ‘‘many’’ or ‘‘innumera-
ble.”” Some. nations can count heyond
four, but they have no word to denote
“five” and therefore they use the same
word for ‘‘five’’ as they use for ‘‘hand.”
For “six,” then, they would say ‘‘one
hand and one ;”’ for ‘‘ten’’ they would say
‘two hands.”
“ten’’ make use of the ‘‘toes,”” and for |
o hands and one toe,” |
“eleven” say ‘‘tw
and ‘‘twenty’’ should be ‘two hands and
two feet,” or ‘‘one man.’’
A Sweet Southern Custo m.
There is a certain softness and sweetness |
in southern manners that appeal very
strongly to less demonstrative northerners.
that of having the children of a household
call a friend of the family or a favorite
visitor aunt, unele or cousin, as the case
may be. Doubtless the custom had its
origin in the numberless genuine relation-
ships of southern life, which led peoble to
feel that there was a certain coldness in
addressing a guest by a formal title when
everybody present was addressed familiarly
or affectionately.
Pedestrian Rights.
Those who ride in buggies, on bicycles
or any vehicles should always remember
that in crossing a street or highway the
person on foot has the right of way. The
law says so, and if you injure a pedestrian
by careless riding or driving you are re-
sponsible. No one is required to tun
across a street to keep out of the way of
bicycles or vehicles. The riders are the
ones to look out for a clear track.
Sues Altoona for $25,000
W. L. Kelly, late a Pennsylvania rail-
road brakeman. residing at Derry, has en-
tered suit against the city of Altoona, to
recover $25,000 damages for injuries re- |
ceived last October. While passing under
the Seventh street bridge at Altoona, on
the rear of an engine, a heavy piece of wood
fell from the bridge and struck Mr. Kelly
on the head, fracturing his skull.
——*‘John, you ought to buy a whole
barrel of flour. It’s getting higher every
day.” ;
“I know it is Maria, and I have been
surprised that it doesn’t have a more huoy-
ant effect on your hiscuits.’’ — Chicago
Tribune.
——The pension payments for the pres-
ent quarter will exceed $40,000,000 ; yet
there are about 200,000 claims still on file
awaiting settlement. Had secretary Gage
seen these figures he would probably have
postponed his suggestion of a civil pension
list.
Those who count beyond |

Neal Dow the Great Temperance Advo-
cate is Dead.
PORTLAND, Me., Oct., 2nd.—Neal Dow,
the veteran Prohibitionist, died at 3:30
o’clock this afternoon.
It was on the 20th of last March that the
whole temperance world celebrated the
ninety-third birthday of Generai Neal Dow.
For half a century previous he had held a |
unique place in the public eye, and for
seventy years of his long life he had been
a leader in temperance work. His first
movement in this direction was when he
induced the town authorities of Portland, |
Me.—where he was born—to abstain from |
ringing the old town bell at 11 and 4
o’clock for the citizens to take a drink.
He has ever been the implacable foe of
drink, and though he naturally incurred
the enmity of all connected with the liquor
traffic, honors have been bestowed thickly
on him.
In 1851 the Maine Legislature, after
years of Dow’s bombardment, passed the |
famous prohibition law.
The biography of Neal Dow deals with
what may be large figures. At 60 years of
age he raised the Thirteenth Maine, and
led it to the front, was shot four times,
and landed in Libby prison. At an age
when most men are dead, he lectured all
over the earth on temperance ; sixty-seven
years ago he was married, and in 1880 he
was the candidate for President on the
Prohibition ticket.
There is but one other person in the
United States who shared with him in the
the Temperance army-—Frances E. Willard
the head of the white ribbon army. Long
may she live to lead that noble band of
consecrated women !
Mr. Dow was 35 years of age when he
inaugurated the remarkable crusade in be-
half of prohibition which continued for al-
most sixty years. He became convinced
that the best remedy for intemperance was
to be found in the outlawing of the traffic
in intoxicants. He was right. The lapse
of time has demonstrated that the one |
phase of temperance progress to which |
liquor dealers most strenuously object is
prohibition. No advocate of restriction by
prohibitory process has ever claimed that
it will put an end to all drunkenness, or
make it imposible for various men to coin
money out of the passions and appetites of
their weak-minded neighbors. There is no
law on the statue book which is not viola-
ted every day. It would be a singular
thing if the prohibitory liquor law were
the exception to the rule. It will always
be a great honor to the memory of Neal
Dow that he was the John-the-Baptist of
prohibition.
He never lost his love for the cause of
temperance. Almost up to the month of
| his death he was active, remarkably so for
an old man. Yet he always had time for
other things. During the war of the re-
bellion he was in the service of his coun-
try, demonstrating that he was quite as
much interested in striking off the limbs
of the black man the chains of physical
bondage as he was in redeeming his fellow
citizens of all colors and nationalities from
vassalage to the alcohol habit. During the
last few years he has been regarded by all
good people with unmixed admiration, and
he goes down to his grave followed by the
love of millions of devoted friends.

It Results in the Death of Five Men Near Rendham,
i Pay
SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 2.-—Five men yes-
| terday afternoon met a horrible death from
| “black damp’ after the accumulation of
fire in the Jermyn No. 1 mine, near Rend-
ham. The dead are: Isaac Watkins, fire
boss, 55 years old, leaves a wife and one
child, Rendham ; Wm. Tompkins, 22
years old, single, boarded with Watkins ;
Joseph Smith, 25 years, wife and one child,
Mudtown ; John Gallagher, 42 years, wife
and seven children, Minooka ; Wm. Frank-
lin, 26 years, wife, Rendham.
Since last Tuesday the fire had heen
raging in the mine. The men who lost
their lives represented one ‘‘shift.’’
They went on duty at 3 o'clock, and no-
body knew of their death until the dis-
covery of the lifeless bodies. Not a man
in the party survived to tell the story. In
the case of each hody the head pointed to-

Cruelties to Which a Well-Known Artist and Traveler
was Subjected.
BoMBAY, Oct. 4.—Henry Savage Lander,
a well-known artist, traveler and writer,
and grandson of the celebrated Waiter
Savage Lander, has just returned to India
after terrible experiences. He had under-
taken an exploring tour in Thibet, but he
was abandoned by all the members of his
company except two coolies. Finally the
Thihetans arrested him by an act of treach-
ery, sentenced him to death, and after tor-
turing him with hot irons, actually carried
him to the execution ground. At almost
the last moment the execution was stopped
by the grand llama, who commuted the
sentence to torture by the ‘ ‘stretching log,”’
a species of rack which greatly injured
Mr. Lander,s spine and limbs. After be-
ing chained for eight days he was released.
Mr. Lander has no fewer than twenty.two
wounds as the result of his torture.

A Great Crowd at Gettysburg.
GETTYSBURG, Pa., October 3rd.—The
crowd in town and on the battlefield to-
day exceeded anything of the kind this
season, numbering fully eight thousand.
Philadelphia led in the number of people,
although Reading, Harrishurg and Altoona
were well represented. The throng of visi-
tors crowded the trolly cars, and every
hack in and around the town were pressed
into service, while thousands of visitors
walked to the more prominent points on
the field. The centre of attraction seemed
to:be ‘‘Highwater Mark,”” where the ma-
jority of the visitors heard Captain Long’s
description of the three day’s battle. The
trains were all on schedule time and the
weather during the afternoon was clear and
pleasant, affording the visitors all the
| pleasure they could ask. Everything pass-
ed off pleasantly and nothing of an acciden-
tal character occured.

Origin of Yankee Doodle.
The National Air Was Popular Long Before the
Revolution.
Every boy and girl knows ‘* Yankee Doo-
dle’” but how many of them know how |
this national song originated ? According
to an old book, the air was popular long |
before the Revolution, being then called |
‘‘Lydia Fisher.” It was a favorite New |
England jig and it was customary “to fit
impromptu verses to the tune, such as :
“Lydia Locket lost her pocket,
Lydia Fisher found it,
Not a bit of money in it,
Only binding round it.”
_ The tune itself is said to have heen sung |
in Cromwell’s time, when it was called
‘“Nankee Doodle,’”’ and one of the verses
“Nankee doodle came to town
Upon a little pony, {
With a feather in his hat, |
Upon a macaroni.”
This alluded to Cromwell’s riding into
Oxford wearing a single plume in his hat
fastened in a knot called a ‘‘Macaro-
ni.
Just before the Revolution the British
officers adapted the old song to new words
intended to ridicule Yankee simplicity and
manner. But the Yankees turned the tables
by accepting ‘Yankee Doodle” as their
national air and piping it whenever they
repulsed the Redcoats. When the battles
of Lexington and Concord began the war,
the English then advancing in triumph
King,’’ but when the Americans had made
the retreat so disastrous to the invaders,
these then struck up the scouted ‘‘Yankee
Doodle,” as to say, ‘‘See what we simple
Jonathans can do !”’ : :
That the air was universally deemed a good
retort on British royalists, is proven by the
fact that it was played by us at the battie
of Lexington when repelling the foe; again,
at tke surrender of Burgoyne, and, finally,
at Yorktown surrender.
A Student’s Adventure.
A young student at Andover relates a
pleasant adventure. He was making a
pencil drawing of an old house in the town,
as he saw it through the leafless trees,
when a lady came along the walk and
paused behind him. ‘‘Ah! you are sketch-
ing the Phelps house,’’ she said. ‘‘I nev-
er knew any one to try that before.’”’” He
inquired eagerly whether she were sure
that it was the Phelps homestead. ‘I was
not quite satisfied with my information,’’
he added, ‘‘but thatis why I am doing it.’’
*‘I can satisfy you on that point,’’ was the
reply. “Why do you ask?’ Whereupon
he broke into boyishly expressed praise of
Miss Phelps, all of whose books he said he
had read with his mother at home. The
lady smiled and made him a little bow.
“I am much obliged to your mother,’ she
said amusedly. ‘Will you tell her so
from Elizabeth Phelps Ward ?’’— New York
Times.

fully aware of the importance of having
every member of the party stand loyally

possibility of an uprising of the people

this fall. Let it be remembered that the
and uncompromising war upon the spoils
system and the corrupt practices which
prevailed at Harrisburg during the session
of the Legislature, and for which the Re-
publican machine controlled by Quay is to
be held responsible. The people should
rebuke the thievesand jobbers by defeating
