Orlndlnic Corn forHerlne. We believe in feeding awlue ao thnt they will have aomethlug to keep tbem busy aa well ua for tho lest results to be obtniuiHl from tbe grnln, ao we feed the corn whole and UHiiully on the cob until It gets html .ninl flinty, when It la cither shelled and soaked a little to aoften It or aouked on tho cob. All other grains are ground lieviiuse It bus lieen denioiiMtnited thnt tho amnller grniua go through the nnlmula and do them but little good. Currying out the plan of keeping tbe swine busy, we al waya bnvo something for tbem to chow on coriistiilks, acpinrea of aod apples, potatoes and other vegetables, and we do not ace thnt they take on fnt any alower because of tbla plan of feeding. Pure water In given tbem In clean trougha twice n duy during tbe winter and we know they thrive bet tcr for buvliig it Exchange. Louillui; Corn Fodder. Loading corn fodder may not be very bard work to the small farmer but when one has the product of many acres to loud It becomes a formidable operation. Tho work can be much more easily' done If the following de vice, la UHcd: Muke a loader by using a two Inch plunk ten feet long with clenta of inch atuff nailed ou one aide at abort Intervals. At one end null a cleat on the under aide, which will be three Inches wider than the board on each aide. Tlo small ropes to tbla cleat and with them fasten the rack to tbe back part of tbe wagon rack, the lower end of tbe plank-Tack renting on the ground. This makes a atepludder up which It la easy to walk nud If strongly made a man can readily carry up It all be can get his arm around. With this plan ono man can do the work of loading a wagon easily without spending tbe tlmo necciiHiiry to bind tho bundleH. Tbe lllUHtratlou Hhows bow easily the ladder can be mudo. Indlunapolis News. Kan Forms by Klectrlclty. The Fort Wuyno and Wabash Valley Traction Line, operutlng eighty miles of interurban rond In Indiana, has sent to farmers living along tho line an offer to furnish power to run the ma chinery on their farms. Gasoline and steam engines are used extensively, but corn shelling, feed cutting and otu er work Is also done .by baud, and the Company proposes to furnish dynamos and build a line for a distance, of ono mile on each side of tbe truck at cost if farmers will Agree to pay n, rcasbn able sum for current The farmers gen erally aeem to favor the project AAA -a.fl.V.;. -trtfk KOn LOADING CO UN FODDEU. foot of ftllat.

If It la thought mrcssury to apply mulch around the base of trees or Khcub aa a winter protection care must be used not to do the work too soon, particularly If anything In tbe nature of a fertilizer Is used, such ua coarse stable man ure, for there la al ways danger of inciting renewed growth in the tree, Just aa It la begin ning to go to sleep for the winter, and this growth, being extremely tender, will be killed by the first cold weather, probably with much injury to the tree. A better pbui Is not to apply the mulch until the ground freezes, upplying more, If necessary, later on. lly fur the lcst plan of all la to use earth with which to protect the roots of tbe tree or shrub during the first cpld duya; 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. I!y this plan the tree or shrub will have full protection without danger of Inciting a lute grow th. A (ooi Grlndaton. A grindstone to turn with bicycle gear can be made after tbla cut, writes W. I). Watklna, of Athena. Ohio. Take sprocket wheels and chain off an old binder or dropper. Uear so that stone will turn two revolutions to ono of crank. You can grind anything on It with greut speed. Water llaaln for Chicka. Take a basin that will hold about two quarts of water and fill It with pebbles a little, smaller than eggs. When level full of the pebbles, pour In tbe water until the spaces between them are full. Sink the bnslu in the ground until the rim Is on Inch nbove tho surface. The chicks can run all over this, stepping on the pebbles and can drink the water without getting wet. Wo have used such a fountain for years with perfect success. It Is easy to clean, keeps the water cool for several hours and protects the chicks from getting wet nil over, as they can not crowd each other Into the water, no matter bow much they try to do so Cor.

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

Young Mr. Whimper, who had a worthy ambition for public office, had closed his canvass of bis native State, lie felt sure of his nomination, and was waiting, in good spirits, at bis father's fireside to receive it He had been asked to tell his ex periences as a "spellbinder," and bad willingly consented. "But, on tbe whole," was his modest conclusion, "I was rather successful. And what gratified me particularly was that In the places where I was least known I met with the warmest reception." It was several seconds before Mr. Whimper understood why his father and the girls laughed, and even bis mother smiled. TTtT T7 TF IT A Tt V limit LAAAOVK or Known There are two classes ct 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 the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Fics, 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 figs 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 illsresultingtherefrom. Its active princi- it ...in ii , . u win luic an manner or uis.Dui represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, 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.
