be obtained from the grain, eo we feed
the corn whole and uaunlly on the cob
until 4t gets hard and flinty, when It la
either shelled and aoaked a little to
often It or soaked on the cob. All
other graltta are ground because It bna
been demonstrated that the amaller
grains go through the animals and do
them but little good Carrying out the
plan of keeping the awlne buay, we al
ways have something for tbetn to
chew on cornstalks, squares of Bod,
apples, potatoes and other vegetables,
nd we do not see that they take on
fat any slower because of this plan of
feeding. Pure water Is given them In
clean troughs twice a duy during the
winter and we know they thrive bet

Loadlug corn fodder may not be
very hard work to the small farmer,
but when one bna Uto product of many
acres to load It becomes a formidable
operation. The work can be much
more essllydme If the following de
vice la tiKcd: Make ft loader by using
two Inch plnnk ten feet long with
cleats of inch stuff nailed on one side
at short Intervals. At one end null a
cleat on the under aide, which will be
three Inches wider than the board on
each side. Tie small rocB to this cleat
nd with them tauten the rack to the
back purt of the wagon rack, the lower
end of the plunk-rack resting on the
ground.

The average yield per acre In this
Inatance was 13 5 tons of green corn.
The cost of the ensilage, Including the
raising, which was estimated at IS per
acre, was a little high. Consulting the
table, however, it will be seen that It
required four teams hauling for five
days top draw the com to tbo silo per

to be drawn from some distance or
more could have been hauled, but even

Fall Matching sf Tree.
If It la thought necessary to apply
mulch around the base of trees or
shrubs aa a whiter protection care
must be used not to do the work too
soon, particularly If anything la the
nature of a fertilizer is used, such as
coarse stable manure, for there Is al
ways danger of Inciting renewed
growth In the tree, just as It Is begin
ning to go to sleep for the winter, and
this growth, being extremely tender,
will be killed by the Unit cold weather,
probably with much injury to the tree.
A better plau is not to apply the mulch
until the ground freezes, applying
more, if necessary, later on.
Ity far the beat plan of all la to use
earth with which to protect the roots
of the tree or shrub during the first
cold days; put It on several inches
thick for three feet around the tree,
Later, If it gets too cold, a little coarse
manure may be put on over the soil
lly this plan the tree or shrub will
have full protection without danger of
Inciting a late growth.

Trenching.
Remove the top soil from a strip one
yard wide and a foot deep; then spade
the subsoil well ami spread plenty of
manure over it; throw tbe top soil
from the next row on the surface soil
of the first and sow for seed until the
whole plot has been trenched. It will
produce heavy crops for several years.
Plowing the Garden. . ..
If the garden is thoroughly under
drained, as It always should be, it
should be fall plowed In ridges and the
surface left rough, so as to expose the
soil as much as possible to freezing.
This la the more necessary because the
garden Is always a sheltered spot
where snow lies much of tbe winter,
so that there are few times when the
soil freezes very deeply. The garden
Is always tbe richest spot on the farm.
It often Is heavy with manure and
needs tho winter's freezing to lighten
the soil and make Its fertility more
available.

There are two classes ot remedies: those of known qual
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist
ance ; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
a the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever
w pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured bv the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue ftes are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are knowri to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
thatit is a mostexcellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that
it will cure all manner of ills.but recommend it for what it really
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
There are two classes of Durchasers: those who are informed
as to the quality1 of what thev huv and the reasonsfor the excellence
of articles of exceptional rnerit. and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be, it said
nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer
l .fit .
