for the first three months of the current

rate of over $84,000,000 for the entire
year. It shows the usual expenditures

Economy In feedlnir is one source of a
farmer's nrofit. To fal hav. rorn and
oats to eoita, calves and work horses is
extravagant and wasteful. The way to
economize and save several dollars per
head each year until they are marketable
is to cut all provender into inch lengths
(straw and fodder), nut in seDarate bins
under shelter where most convenient for
use. Cutting softens anv orovender and
rids it of sand and dust. Now take seventy-five
bushels of corn, oats, rye and
buckwheat to mill and set it eround fine

It may be given in a powdered state,

burn an ear or two of corn (unon the

every kernel and so supply themselves

Tha Vint Stovaa,
A heating apparatus called a "atuba"
(stove) was widely used among the higher
claw of Romans before the beginning of
the Christian era. This class of beaters
was fixed and immovable, besides being
ia several omer respects wholly duiannt
from the modern stove. In Germany and
Scandinavia they were used In bathrooms
and hothouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of brick,
atone or tils and were of immense size.
They sometime covered the whole sld of
a 80 or 80 foot room and often extended out
Into the room aa much as 10 feet, in which
case the smooth, flat top was used for a bad
stead, the heated surface imparting an
agreeable feeling of warmth during those
cold nights of long ago, when such things
as covers were quite rare.
Cardinal Polignae of France waa per
haps the first to attempt the construction
of a stove wholly of Iron this at about the
beginning of the eighteenth century. The
Unit real improvement over the old Roman
"stuba" was brought about by Franklin in
tha year 1745. One of his efforts produced a
typical bass burner, almost perfect and a
model of workmanship. Stoves were not
used in private houses to any gnat extent
prior to the year 1830. Philadelphia Prsss.
