An enormousquantity of corn fodder is grown each year, but not one-third of its feiding value is procured. Hundreds of thousands of acres of stalks are allowed to stand in tho fields until December or January until the grain is husked, and then tho eattlo are turned in the field to get what they can. Usually they find only blades whipped off by the wind and blown away, and the Btalks bent aud tho upper part the best portion ruined, and even the husks weather- beaten so as to be of little value. Such feed as remains is of poor qnality. Tho greater part of it is rotting on the ground. There is hardly a better or cheaper stock feed than corn fodder, yet most farmers treat it as though it had littleorno value.- Fariuer'sGuide. NOTKS OS WHEAT. From field experiments carried on at the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, Purdue Universitv, Indiana, re ported iu Bulletin 15, extending over ten years, it appears that uoue of the varieties of wheat tried have anv ten dency to deteriorate or "run out," pro vided proper care is exercised. No wheat proved to bo "rust-proof," but early wheats were generally less in jured by rust than later kinds. Eight pecks of seed per acre gave tho best returns at the station, the average yield for nine years being dO.Jo bushels per acre. The best results came from sowings made not later than Septem ber 'M. Iho valuo of crop rotation in maintaining yields of grain has been strongly emphasized, for a compari son of rotating crops with constant grain cropping for seven years showed an average gain of 5. 7 bushels per acre in favor of the former. Another important result obtained was that wheat may be harvested at any time from the dough stage to the dead-ripe condition, without appreciably affect ing the weight or yield of the graiu. A comparison of the forms of nitrogen as fertilizers for wheat indicated that sulphate of ammonia is better than nitrate of soda or dried blood. SOME ADVICE TO DRIVERS. A driver frnvn loa linren Biriimrl, nf . O . . u..iiita v. . oats about two hours earlier than h was usually fed. The harness was being put on wliile the horse was feed ing. The driver manas-ed to iret bio breakfast in tho meantime. (Shortly everything was in readiness and tho horse was started on a Inn it Hrivn Tho driver urged the animal with the whip. At the end of thirty miles the horse began to ignore that instrument He went Blower and slower ; finally he fell dead. Fost-mortem ptrtii in at. inn revealed the fact that the oats had not been digested. The lining of the siomacn gave evidence ot having been in a high state of irritation. It was plain that the horse's previous ac cumulation of nerve power had been largely exhausted in defending the terrible irritation set up by the sharp points of tho undigested oats. Had the horso been permitted to stand, or lie down for aa hour after feeding he would have prepared not only a re serve of material to sustain himself, but the sinount of nourishing material accumulated would have helped him to endure his exhaustive journey. Time is required for the digestion of food before beginning a long muscular strain. It must also seem clear that when the effort at hard labor ends, time should be given for rest before taking food. Rider and Driver. REQUISITES FOR A HORSE STABLE. A horse stable should have thorough drainage first, then a solid, non-absorbent floor ; next, the stalls should be roomy, and tho feeding troughs should be made so that food cannot be wasted. Tho best floor is ouo made of cement concrete, of one part of cement, two of sand, and five of coarse gravel, laid three inches thick, and when well dried and hard, saturated with hot gas tar. This makes tho floor water and vermin proof, aud very durable, with sufficient elasticity to prevent injury to the feet of the animals. The stalls should be six feet wide, the floor slop ing one inch to a shallow gutter in the rear, from which the liquid mass may flow away into a drain. The feeding trough should have a deep grain box, if grain is fed, or if cut feed is used, the whole trough may be the full length of the width of the stall. A few bars fastened across the top of the feed box will be useful to prevent the horse from throwing out tho feed, as some will do. If long hoy is fed, this should bo given iu a rack above the feed trough, but on account of the great waste in feeding long hay and whole grain, tha hay should be cut aud the grain, finely ground, be mixed with it. This avoids the loss by waste, which is often one-half of the food. It is desirable to have a drain from the stable to a manure pit at a dis tance, where tho liquid may be ab sorbed by the coarse litter. The width of a horso stublo should bo not less than twelve feet, to afford space to move about in easily. The loose boxes, made nine feet square, are the most desirable for safety and con venience, and theso may open into a passage five feet wide. A feeding pas sage should be made in front of the btulls. FAltM FENCES. The growing scarcity of timber in some parts of the country, i-.n 1 its en tiro abseuoe iu others, m u.; th-j fence question, a more serious on t year by year. Only in tho newly settled heavy-timbered land do we now see rails split for fences. Wire in norno form is almost universally used for this purpose. Tho woven wire fenc ing which is made in various widths answers every purpose of a fence, but it is too expensive for general use. Wire and picket fencing does very well, but it is liable to bo broken by unruly animals, and once a rent is started it is soon of little uso to tnrn stock. Barbed wire, which composed the original wire fences of the West, is cruel, and many a horse has been mined by being caught on the sharp, knife-like points. There is a way of making a wire fence, however, that is free from the objections that havo been brought agaiust tho others. Plain, smooth galvanized wire, No. 10 or No. 12, may bo stretched tightly, and fastened to wooden posts, with a single six-inch board at the top. Instead of the board a common "t wo by four" spiked to the posts may bo used. From five to seven wires are needed, according to what it is desired to fence against. The lat ter number put four inches apart near the ground, and farther apart toward tho top of the poBt will koep hogs, cattle, Bheep or horses within the in closure. The railing or board at the top is often used on barbed wire fonces, as the animals can see it more plainly than they can the wire alone, and there is less danger of their running against it Wire fences of any kind should be thoroughly braoed and very tightly stretched, or they will noon sag and get out of shape.

The milk is largely affected by the physical condition of tho cow. It requires about twenty-five pounds of milk to make a pound of butter. There is a scarcity of beet sugar seed in Europe owing to the drought. The number of sheep killed by dogs every year is said to exceed 700,000. To make dairying a success, a dairy man must be a worker and a business man. Experienced butler makers say that too much washing spoils the flavor ot butter. The great food crops of the world are wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice and potatoes. There is a good market for trotters now, but only at prices consistent with the facts in the cose. Colts in training, if well cared for, grow better and keep in better health than when running at large. It is established that a horse whose individuality is strong enough to create a family type will also fix the color with great nuiformity. First-class fancy animals, suitablo for driving and carriage horses, sound and well broken, are reported as scarce and bring good prices. Prices running well into the thou sands are no longer given for road horses unless the speed and other quali ties are of an exceptional character. Many trotting horses, owing either to natural defects of temperament, to bad training or to imperfect prepara tion, are exceedidgly difficult to con trol. The winter is the time to build the intended silo, as it can be done with less interference in other work. Havo the silo ready and complete for a crop of corn next season. A silo soon pays for itself. Sloppy food is not advisable as a continued diet for pigs. Give a change occasionally. The hogs are very par tial to whole oorn, fed dry, and will eat it from the trough, either shelled or on the sob. Currant and gooseberry cuttings should be about five or six inches long, and planted two-thirds their length iu open ground. They will root more quickly if cut a week or two before using and packed in damp moss. It is well to keep them partially shaded. The Sharpless strawberry has been tested over a large part of the coun try and does well in almost every lo cality, but in Bpite of its excellent record it sometimes fails. The Jessie is a fine berry when it succeeds, but it should be tested well before planting extensively. Turnips are easily kept by pitting, if not put in too thick. Make the pits long and about three and a half feet high. Cover with straw and about six inches of earth. Ventilators should be placed about every ten feet. The pit is best made in a shelterod place, where the snow will not be blown off. Millfarr Value ol the Jtog.

An authority on such matters reoom mends a thin quality of linoleum to bo used as a dado for the walls in a kitchen. It should bo glued close to tho wall, and may bo finished at tho top with a plain molding. It may thou bo oilod or varnished, or loft in its na tural condition, as one chooses. It is in every way to be preferred to a dodo of wood, which is liablo to crack and leave interstics in which insects may lodgo. The dado of linoleum is as easily washed as a dado of tiling and is even more durable, whilo it is a good deal cheaper. In the natural wood color in which this material comes it would make a very pretty dado for a wall painted pale blue. As linoleum ia nothing more tnan the blown pulp of wood, combined with oxidized linseed oil, it can bo readily scon that it can be treated in any way that wood can be treated, while it is exactly suited to this purpose and the purpose of cov ering kitchen floors. A dado is almost a necessity in a kitchen, because a plostered wall gets chipped with con tinual wear. Linoleum offers just tho right material necessary for such pro tection.
