In his confession Czolgosz told of

Emma Goldman to Buffalo tho last

I'nor Work in HIireiMlim.
Cniixldrrable complaint has been
initio against tbe corn iihredder because
tlie shredded material, especially the
conrspT parts of the corn stalk were not
properly cut to pieces. Pieces of stalk
from six to ten Indies long formed the
greater part of the waste that accumu
lated In the mangers. .Much of this ma
terial, If reduced to fineness, would be
eaten by stock, and a great deal of
nctlinl feed could no saved. However,
It Is true that a portion of the stalk can
hardly bo reduced by the shredder nnd
cutter bead KUfllclently to be eaten by
animals. A grinding process that
crushes as well as cuts Is necessary to
do this. But the common shredder may
be made to do much better work than It
has done the past season.
Where the shredder has started fresh
with sharp, keen knives, firmly set, the
thrashed material was made a great
deal finer than after the machine has
boon used for a considerable length of
time without the knives being sharp
ened. Shredder owners are doing great
injury by allowing such careless work.
Instances are known where the knives
of the shredder have not been looked
after during the entire season's wprk.
Such poorly cut up fodder brings the
shredder Into disrepute; nnd the dis
tricts that have been Imposed upon will
likely have very little fodder shredded
the coming season because the machine
did not Increase the value of the fod

These holes should he about three Inch

Is beveled behind, which forms a good
scraping edge.
The Corn Hinder.
Savlug tho corn fodder has become a
most Important operation on most of
the farms. Tlie drought has cut short
the oats and bay crop, and the deficien
cy In coarse fodders must be supplied
from tho corn fields. The silo has
proved to be of great value In convert
ing tho green fodder Into ensilage. It
Is not only the most economical method
of handling the crop, but gives the best
food, not for dairy animals only, but
for the production of beef. The making
of ensilage Is not generally practiced
throughout tho country. The stover is
put up as dry fodder, and Is so fed,
Corn-cutting has become so general
that It Is often difficult to obtain help
for harvesting the crop, either for the
silo or In tho dry state. Tho Improve
ments made In the corn binder havo
made It a practical and valuable Imple
ment for cutting the fodder. The binder
not ouly hastens the work of cutting tho
forage, but by tying It into bundles tbe
material Is much more easily handled
when put ou wagous or when placed
in the shock. Tho feeding Into tho
shredder Is more regulnr where tho fod
der has beeu given to it In bunches of
equal size.
Keeping Milk Sweet.
If the milk Is to be delivered In good
condition to tho consumer during tho
summer months, It must bo thoroughly
cooled and ncrated and kept cool, says
Hoard's Dairyman. These steps nre
absolutely necessary with all milks
during tho hot weather. A great Im
provement can also be made by looking
carefully after tho cleanliness of cows,
stables nnd milk utensils, ns there is a
great difference In tho keeping quality
of clean and dirty milks. Tho wholo
question of keeping mills sweet Is In
providing n clean article, kept cooled
and well nerated. Preservatives should
not bo used under nny condition.

lllennlhl Vlnntn Beeilhic First Year.
Wo havo occasionally beeu called up
on to tell our neighbors why somo of
their plants that aro not supposed to
produce seed until they have been re
set In tbe ground after they havo mxaa
ono year's growth should havo gono
to seed tho first sea sou. They aro
roots, and wo hnyo seen It happen in
beets, carrots nnd celery, prohnbly
inoro often In tbe latter than In tlio
others. In every case where wo havo
bad nn opportunity to exnmlno tho
plants thnt thus seeded preiunturcly wo
hnvo found that some causo had check
ed tho growth In tlio early part of tlio
season, nnd when It began a now
growth It began ns if In Its second year
to develop tho seed stalk Instead of
perfecting the root. Celery set In tlio
ground too early, or allowed to bo chill
ed In the hotbed whero started, docs
this very frequently, but wo have seen
beets and carrots do it when a severe
Into frost went over them after they
were well up, and we think parsnip
nre liable to do so. Hut wo havo found
beets and carrots doing so when exam
ination showed that they had been In
jured by having been touched with tho
hoe or wccJer, or possibly injured by
worms or other Insects. There Is no
remedy but to pull up nnd destroy tlio
plant. Seed produced on such a plant
Is valueless for sowing nnother season.
American Cultivator.
Ifolililntr Fnrmonil Famine.
The American Sheep Breeder says
that it is quite possible that nn ounco
of mixed food, such as corn and oat;i
ground together, with an equal quan
tity of wheat middling or bran, will
add an ounce or more to the weight of
lambs after they are four weeks old.
If given dally In addition to other prop
er food, and as they grow older this
amount may be Increased, with nearly
a corresponding increase In weight
gained. To exchange a pound of grain,
costing about one cent, for a pound of
lamb worth fifteen cents seems to bo
a trade thnt almost any farmer would
be willing to make, but we have seen
those who boasted that they never
bought nny grain. They did not raiso
Iambs or chickens, sold but little and
bought less, and saved money, but wo
would not havo accepted their farms
and the money they bad accumulated
and agreed to make the farm as good
as it was when they received It. Such
fnrmers are usually robbers, robbing
the land of Its fertility, robbing their
families of tho comforts of life, nnd
their children of the pleasures of youth
and nearly all that Is desirable In life,
unless the children forsake the farm
and establish a home where they may
earn more, expend more and enjoy
more of life. New England Home
stead. Crop-Honnd Fow's
There Is more or less trouble with
crop-bound fowls in the summer, anil
during this season it Is due nearly al
ways to tbe bird having got some im
proper substance In its crop. If tho
bird Is a valuable one and worth treat
ing the best plan Is to take hor be
tween one's knees with a cup of sweet
scalded milk In hand and gently force
some of the milk down the throat, at
the same time working tho crop gently
back nnd forth with the lingers. Af
ter, glviug n few spoonfuls of tho milk
then give n dose of Itochcllc salts In
a little milk. If this does not bring
relief, go back to the first treatment,
which will be more effectual nfter the
use of salts, and will relievo the trou
ble In the majority of cases. The d.lll
culty may have been caused by eating
too much grit or gravel, or eating con
siderable mud when picking up corn or
other grain thrown to the hen. After
feeding tho fowl as indicated sho
should be fed bread moistened In milk
for a t'ny or two and kept in a cleau
coop, where sho can get no food except
that given her.
Vnlns of FnrnTe Crop.
Dry pastures nnd hot weather bring
little terror to the farmer who has
planted liberally of such crops as will
give forage in midsummer. The early
sweet corn Is in condition to feed and
the' sorghum Is coming Into head. With
these crops to supplement tbe pastures,
the live stock will receive little check
In the production of meat and milk
from lack of food during the hot weath
er. If stock Is compelled to hunt for a
living nil day iu weed fields with llttlo
grass, a loss may be expected, one that
will be difficult and expensive to make
good later ou. The hogs and sheep, as
well as the cows, will appreciate an ex
tra ration during the warm days. While
the stock Is running on pasture, If
shade, food and water are together,
noon Is nn excellent time to do this spe
cial feeding. At this time of day tho
animals will be iu the shnde near their
watering place, and extra feed may
then be given without disturbing them
in the cool morning and evening when
they enjoy feeding ou tho grass. A
check In growth, whether In summer or
winter, Is always an nctual loss to the
owner. Exchange.
Nnl'a in Apple Trees.
Among old-time fruit-growers thero
exists an opinion that by driving nnlU
In apple trees certain diseases and at
tacks by Insects nro nvolded. The only
possible good thnt could como from
driving a nail Into a tree would bo that
which might como from the rust which
would accumulate on tho nail, and It is
only sensible to suppose that this rust
would bo of no valuo anywhere, except
in Its immediate vicinity. It Is a well
known fact thnt rust has no effect, good
or otherwise, on tho sap of a tree, and
ns for tho rust in any wny destroying
or preventing Insect life, It Is uot so.
