Among the agricultural machines conning into demand lately is the fodder shredder. Fodder alone, after the ears of corn have been husked out, contains 37 , per cent of the valve of the crop; Nearly, that per cent of the fodder itself has been wasted heretofore by the old fashioned method of feeding.

The German farmer get rich by saving in this country, as h was obliged to save in the old one. Ourmore enlightened farmers—ndt the run down at the heel ones—are learning to save by investing in first class machinery as fast as they are able to pay Dash for it. The enlightened farmer will not. go into debt for ma- chinery. It is too risky. - Fodder is cut green and put into the silo by many of the best live stock men. We do not know that the shredder is of any particular advantage here, but it is claimed that itis. The claim is that the shredded silage will pack closer and keep out air. The best shredders cut the stalk, leaves and ears of Dorn into a mass which resembles excelsior mattress filling. The illustration shows one pat- tern of these shredders: The wide awake farmer cuts his fodder with a corn cut- ting machine, cures it and then shreds it and packs it away like hay. After be- ing shredded it can be baled. The gain in the quantity of fodder saved and di- gested would in a few years pay for the -cast of the machine. The Pigs In Fall. So far as possible, the fall pigs should be weaned and be well accustomed to eating before severe cold weather sets in. It is difficult, unless more than or- dinary caro is taken, to wean pigs in cold weather without' stopping the growth, to some extent at least, and this is always to be avoided. Then, if the pigs are not weaned until late, the sows cannot be bred to the best advan- tage for the spring litters. On nearly every farm it is quite an item to have a good supply of pigs for fall feeding, and in doing this the fall litters should be weaned in good season so as to allow the sows to recuperate before breeding again. It is best gradually to h icrease the' feed of the pigs; commencing about 10 days before weaning, so that by the time they are weaned they can be given all that they will eat up clean. It is usually best to change the quarters of the pigs, putting them into a new place, rather than to change the sow, as they will fret less than if in their aocnstomed place. It is always best to allow them to run out in order to afford them a good opportunity , to exercise, as a healthier growth..and development will be secured if they can run out than if closely confined. Under ordinary conditions the separa- tion can be made complete at once. If the sow is given dry feed and a stinted ration for two or three days after the pigs are taken from her, there will rare- ly be any trouble with her, while the pigs will net be benefited by allowing them to suck again. The pigs must have warm -quarters and be well fed, and at the same time they must take exercise every day. It may even be necessary to roust them out of their beds, especially if the weather is cold, in order to make them take exercise enough to keep healthy. A pig loves a warm bed, and the more they lie in it the less inclined they will be to leave it, and they will get so that they will refuse to come out to eat. But with a little care at the start to keep them vigorous this may readily be 'avoided. The aim -in feeding is to keep the pigs thrifty rather than fat, maintaining a steady growth every day, and in. the winter more than ordinary care is neces- sary. If they can be kept growing rapid- ly during the winter, fall pigs can usual- ly be made profitable, but otherwise they will prove a loss. At this season they are often so 'stunted at weaning that they never felly recover. --Cor. St. Louis Republic. MACHINE MADE TROTTERS. hey May Do For the Trraok,°but Not For Breeding. Tho board of appeals has established, y a last winter's decision, the law to that a horse distanced through acci- dent resulting from imperfection of his own gear cannot be reinstated. The case at issue was the breaking of a checkrein without any collision or outside inter- ference. This would seem to establish the doctrine that a driver must abide by the outcome of his own arrangements, but that he need not suffer from outside interference.. By parity of reasoning, then, a driver -may use any device to au- oelerate the speed of his horse or control him that does not in any way interfere with other horses or endanger their drivers. Without further legislation the electric motor would seem to be permis- sible, along with toe weights, bike sul- kies, head governors, gaiting wheels, poles, pully lines and every variety of boot and shoe. True, horses and fam- ilies of horses requiring inuch rigging have little valve for practical purposes, and their procreation in an injury to breeding interests, but that does not con- stitute a legitimate reason for legisla- tion against them. The broad principle of oonstitutional freedom insures to ev- ery one the right of liberty of action so long as the rights of others are not en- croached upon. This brings us to hopples, the current bone of contention and the most impor- tant adjunct today in the driver's para- phernalia of devices for the manufacture of artificial speed. Breeders should and must be lawfully left to decide for themselves the value of hopple records. Like the electric motor and push under "bike," the elastic properties of the hopple accelerate speed, adding to the force and rapidity of action. By their use a horse may be compelled to pace or trot, regardless of his inclination, at the driver's will. Thus a horse of muscular vigor and good wind may be educated to trot or pace fast without much natural inclination to do either —a mechanical triumph, if you please, and small credit to his breeder or his sire and dam. A case in point is a 2 -year-old owned by a neighbor. With limbs unfettered he can with difficulty be driven a little better than 4 minutes. Controlled by hopples and driven by a hustler armed with a -chain fastened to the end of a stick, the poor brute shtfffies along a racing clip. Except upon the score of cruelty to animals, I see no reason to legislate against this. Breeders who want , that kind should be allowed to raise them. So long as the hopples in- terfere with no one else, do not interfere with then. They are just as legitimate as toe weights and much more efficient. It is not my purpose to decry or abuse them or deprive my good friends who find them so valuable of the privilege of using them and breaking their collar bones or necks, but I have seen fearful tumbles taken in races by horses wear- ing them; have seen the horses, sulkies and men piled in such heaps as to cause a shudder •of fear to thrill all beholders, thereby siekening and disgusting them with the sport. With the frequency of such accidents, as reported by the pa- pers, and familiar to those attending the raoes,'an view, it would seem need- ful to begin seriously calling in question a driver's right to use them in a race. Train with them all you like, but score for the word without them. —M. T. G. in Breeder's Gazette. The Beef Cow and Calf. For the first three or four weeks after calving the odder should be frequently examined, and until the calf can con- sume the whole of the milk any surplus ,supply mast be drawn off. At all times, so long as the calf is still sucking, at- tention must be given to see that all the teats are clean. Calves will not suck a dirty teat, and if not regularly sucked the quarter of the udder it belongs to will become engorged. So long as there is . no -demand for the calving box the cow and her calf may remain there; but, if it is required, •then the cow may be returned to her stall and the calf be tied up by her side. This tying up of the oaif is best done by means of a - strap around the neck. —Exchange., MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE NUROR EXPOSITOR OFFICE SEAFORTH.

Make all animals that you are preparing for market as comfortable as possible. Seep them happy in their minds. Animals have minds. Make them warm enough, but not too warm. Give them plenty of water, plenty of salt and charcoal; and, above all, keep them clean. The man who will let his hogpens be filthy and nasty is a hog himself. The mixed crop of oats and peas can be sown either in the fall or spring. It makes an excellent cured fodder, but it will not take the place of hay, as some suppose. An experienced feeder of the mixed oat and pea fodder crop out the recom- mends thrashing grain and grinding it. It can then be fed to ad- vantage with the cut fodder of the stalks. The best way, however, is to cut the crop green. Feed it fresh, as much as possible, and cure the rest like hay. The stock will eat it hungrily and not leave a bite. This crop is not very good for silo, as it tangles up too much. Rye sown now will make plump, fat lambs, calves and cows in the spring. The two minute horse is almost here. Robert J, who paced his mile in 2:02M, is the fastest harness horse that ever was. "Go slow on crimson clover," writes Professor Charles E. bessey of the Ne- braska agricultural experiment station in The Breeder's Gazette. The plant is annual and a native of warm regions. "Tuberculosis has brought many in- cestuously bred cattle of different breeds to an inglorious end." Few fodder crops resist drought like sorghum. Farmers might get 10 per cent more for their horses and cattle.in many cases if they would shine them up and make them look fat, sleek, clean and attract- ive to the buyer. Money is lost on horses, especially every day in the year through letting them go to market Eliaggy, dirty and ragged. Where a horse exercises severely the sweat runs down his legs into the hol- low at the back of his hoof and causes cracked heels. Wash the heels with warm water and white castile soap, rinsing the soap off thoroughly. If there are already cracks in the heel, use the following mixture: An ounce of zino ointment, a dram of tincture. of benzoin and 2 ounces of Vaseline.: Rub this in carefully. If the foot is thereafter kept clean, the ointment will not only heal the cracks already there, but will pre- vent others from forming. WHICH 1S THE SAFEST CAR? Well, That Depends on Things Which No. body Can Foresee. "Which le the safest oar on •a railroad train?" repeated an old De keit railroad wean as he stroked his chin and seemed to reflect on the query. "Well, the best an- swer I can make is that it is the car which doesn't run off the rails when all others do, and which Is left on the bank when the train goes through a bridge." • "You've traveled thousands of miles by rail?" "Yes, tens of thousands." "And been in half a dozen accidents?" "I've been in exactly 17 railroad acci- dents, but some of them were hardly worth mentioning." "And do you locate yourself in any par- ticular part of the train?" "No. When I first began traveling, 1 wouldn't ride in any coach but the real one. I had about two dozen reasons why that was the safest car, and- for six or eight weeks I went rolling over the coun- try feeling as safe as if in my own brick house. One night we lost too much time at a station, and a special overhauled us and smashed into the rear coach. You'll thinly it funny, but out of the 10 people in that car I was the only one badly hurt. Thad a leg and two ribs broken and was cover- ed with bruises. When I was able to be about again, I went dead back on thereat car," f - "And took the next one to the smoker, eh?" • "That's what I did. A dozen railroad men had a dozen reasons apiece why that was the safest place, and for three or foul months I rode in that car and laughed at the chaps who carried insurance policies. Then my fond dream of safety was rude- ly shattered. Tho engine, baggage and smoking oars passed safely over a certain switch while running at the rate of 40 miles an hour, but the forward trucks of my car caught somewhere, and the cat was twisted right out of the train. Yes, sir, it was torn loose at both ends and rolled down an embankment, and not an- other car loft the rails: We -had two killed and a dozen hurt, but I got off with a bad shaking up. My confidence in the first car was gone, however, never to be re- stored." "'And then you took the middle of the train?" "I did, my son. Yes, I sat down and reasoned it out to my perfect satisfaction that the middle car of the train was as safe as sitting on the postoflice stops in Detroit. It was about a year before any- thing happened to undeceive ine. One afternoon when we were dusting along to make up lost time we crossed the tracks of another road just a few seconds too. soon or too late, just as you will have its An express train on the other road came booming along and waded right through us. It struck my car, of course, and what was left of it after the grand smash couldn't have been worked over into a wheelbar- row`. Five killed was the record, and I got a broken arni, a scalp wound and a gen- eral bad shaking up." "And after that?" "After that and up to the present date I have no choice. I drop into a seat wher- ever I can find one and don't worry about accidents. I've known a whole- train ex- cept the last coach to go through a bridge, and I've known every car but the last to pass safely over. In a head on collision the forward coach may be smashed to splinters, or it may, roar up on end and escape injury. I was on a train once when a locomotive struck the rear car, rolled it aside without serious injury to anybody and then killed or wounded ev- ery passenger in the next coach. The man who goes hunting for the safest car on a train is throwingaway his time. Ho may take any car and travel for ten years and never even be delayed by a hotbox, or ho may settle down in the car of his choice and be killed in a ride of ten miles. I once saw 22 people smashed in a coach, and yet two fellows who were stealing a ride on the trucks underneath got off scot free. Just buy a first class ticket, •get aboard before the train goes and leave the rest to Providence."—Detroit Free Press. McKillop Directory for 1893. JOHN BENNEWIKS, Reeve, Dublin P. 0.

Lily and bamboo roots, sharks' fins and swallows' nests and many other Chinese delicacies were now served in abundance and with the ever accompanying bowl of rice. In the matter of gating and drinking Chinese formality is extreme. A round table is the only one that can be used in an aristocratic household. The seat of hon- or is always the one next to the wall. Not a mouthful can be taken until the host raises his chopsticks in the air and gives the signal. Silence then prevails, for Con- fucius says, "When a man eats, he has no time to talk." When a cup of tea is served to any one in a social party, he must offer it to every one in the room, no matter how many there are, before proceeding to drink himself. The real basis of Chinese politeness seems to be this: They must bo polite enough to offer, and you must bo polite enough to refuse: Our ignorance of this great underlying principle during the early part of the Chinese journey led us into errors both many and grievous. In order to show a desire to be sociable we accepted almost everything that was offer- ed us, to the groat chagrin, we fear, of the courteous donors. --From "Across Asia on a Bicycle" in Century. 2F YOU IN SEARCH OF A gRE Dress, 'Jacket, Hat or B o n n et You cannot do better than give a look through our varied assortment.

Ono of the best specialists of the day pronounces this "usually an un- advisable procedure," and in the place of such remedies prefers the application of warmth to the region of the ear, either by dry heat in the form of heated flannel, cot- ton wool, bags of hops, bran or meal or by cloths wrung out of hot water, steam or poultices of flaxseed or roasted onions. Cotton should not habitually be worm wedged into the ear, for the reason that the air passage is thus closed, causing_ the secretions of the ear to flow more slowly or very little, and thus causing an unnat- ural and disagreeable and perhaps injuri- ous dryness. As, however, many cases of acute aural trouble have resulted from bathing, and especially from diving and plunging in salt water, it is a wise precau- tion to plug the ears with cotton at 'suoh times.—Naw York Post. Scarcity of Wrapping Paper. The United States is probably the only country in the world where a luxury is not mado of wrapping paper. In army taxed, monarchy oppressed Germany the well filled leaves from the children's copy books are used in trade for every line of small goods. In' France fruits, dairy prod- ucts and foods from the delicatessen shops are done up in green leaves. The baker, butcher and little: shopkeeper uses copies of old newspapers..
