CORN -CUTTINQ V*ry= -Gawd Dwrlo* an* NwDoubt « A.- Ct, JJ., Lebanon, Note, sends to tbo Orange Judd farmer a sketch ol a now device (here illustrated) for cutting corn-fodder, which is Jpide as, follows: Take two 8x8 inch pieces; six feet long, for runners, wider qre hotter if ground is ridged; place them two and ono-half feet apart.and cover,with one inch planks three and one-half feet long. Covor or ••top-declt” by putting the front board on the aled at an angle of about *5 degrees, tapering two or 1three hoards until the -hack boards fill out aqua,ro—lay- c^peev, The jcn.lfe-qut^ ting arrangement (a), is from a corn­ stalk cuttpr. and ,is.held fast by twp clips (b,, h,) as indicated. The right hand corner I b not reached by the knife, so a hoard (c) Is put here antfspiked solid. On this board (e) a man stands, andmakes a reel of his hands, letting the corn fodder. fall between him and the driver, who stands,at d, . Two.short draw chains and two short whlfiletrees complete the sled.' To use, COBN-CUTTING MACHINE. start on the sixth row, and when the sled is full pile oil the cOrn-fodder 'be­ hind the sled, crossing the armfuls until a proper angle‘ for the shock is made; then continue cutting-and un­ loading in line with tho “ brttces” until enough has accumulated to form a com pletc shook, after Which tie the tops of eaoh shockwith binder twine. By this method nearly ahmuch ground is gone over in a day as the -same team would go over in cultivating, and far less backache is experienced than from the old way of cutting corn by hand. HogJPMdlngon a Larger6cat«. Dr.’ Frank & Billings, Bays the West­ ern Swineherd, the eminent expert investigator of animal diseases, has bought» tract of land near the Daven­ port (la.) .glucose factory, and will fit it up for the accommodation of from four thousand to ten thousand hogs'to. be fed from the factory slops. It is •tated that the doctor, will move bis laboratory to Davenport and personally superintend the manufacture of virus iind inoculation of the hogs to be fed. The enterprise Is a private speculation on the part- of the doctor ahd the capi­ talists associated with him, but its re­ sults can not fall to interest Bvvino breeders everywhere. The merits of inoculation will there he tested in a “manner and- on a Beale- that will conclu­ sively fix its value in warding off cholera. The doctor could have choson no better way of convincing the public of the possibilities of his discovery, and if he succeedsin preserving the health of.bogs and fattening thUm under tho conditions proposed ho will have set­ tled In his favor the acrimonious dis­ pute he has with the Government investigators of hog cholera. The doctor is an opponent; to be feared in scientific controversy, for he handles his adversaries without gloves; but ho is a man with the courage o f bis convic­ tions^ and his known ability and fight­ ing qualities bavo made the people his fast friends, fortunately his new vent­ ure is tp he located within: an hour’s journey of us, and we hope to have opportunity of observing closely,for the benefit o f our readers, all tbe interest­ ing features ol this experiment in feed­ ing hogs on a larger scale than over before attempted, Success at Daven­ port may mean a new departure in feeding, , ________ Oywrfeedlitg Hog*. Many seem to think, lays the Swine-’ herd, that a bog can not be overfed# and that it makes no difference if they do leave a lot of feed at one meal, they will come beck andeat It np when they are hungry, so that there Is nothing watted after all But it is easily pos­ sible to go to either- extreme—to feed too little, so *s not to secure a steady gala, or to feed too much, and so in­ crease tho boat aa to materially lessen the profits. Feeding too little is a loss, while feeding too mnoh is a waste. A good as well as an economical plan ia to feedregularlyatstated times, and then, when fattening, nil that they w ill aat upclean. They wilt knaphealthier and thrive better than 1* possible by keep­ ing feed before them all the time. It is whatthe animate digest and not what they eat that determines the gain in proportion to tha amount of food sup­ plied. Feed loft over Is# to say the least, dittastefsl to a hog, while if slop is soaked betors feeding it Will ferment Sadget sour to more or lose extent The hog, whether growing or fattening, should relish his food to derive the most benefit from i t And they Will hardly do this it they eat what they want go sway and leave it, and are then obliged tocome back and finish it up, M ax * of tho half-hardy yosee would ptoe through tho winter better if ah ef- fottwM made to aid them in ripening their wood.

A Master About Which Warmer* can itd i He f ,» o C a n h it Tha mate of termers are hy no means naosrofui to sajop^the be*t quality of seed for wheat aa they should he; and there ia a presumption that to this cause is due many of tho elements that detract from- its quality, such as chess, cookie, smut, blight, rust, etc,.# I am aware that some will toko exceptions to this Statement, yet the principle is en­ tirely reasonable, and ft accords with thp results of.several years’ experience, I knowislaathst many of-the neighbors will affirm that they hqvq raised just as good orops and the wheat tested just as many pounds per bushel when they ;sowed wheat that, was npt.jreoleaned; but I know that dliftoff the ?paft two pr three years the quality o f their wheat has deteriorated, and-they are at a I osb to know the reason. Whereas tho wheat grown on similar soil, hut care­ fully prepared for sowing under per­ sonal supervision, has not so “ runotit" We have made gpod- use of the fan- ning-mill to clean seed, and the result has been so satisfactory that we expect to continue its use. This has.been nec­ essary to keep the seed free from chess.. If one 'cleaning would not suffice, a sec­ ond' and a third was given, and we rea­ soned thus: Whether wheat turns to chess'for other people or not I do not know, but one thing is assured, and that is, chess never turns to wheat. Hence if afew chess seeds are sown there will inevitably be much more chess, but if the “ pure and unadulterated” wheat is sown, wo always harvest that kind of grain. I know that this was an un­ usually bad year for chess among wheat, and I noticed it growing in fields seeded to clover and timothy last year, but there were only a very few beads in our own. crop. The farmers who were an­ noyed 'with chess in their wheat should clean their seed very carefully and se­ lect their seed the following year from wheait grown Ohcorn ground; for chess will undoubtedly He in the groundsome­ times a year or much longerr-aa was noticed in the meadows this summer— and fallow ground becomes “ foul,” so to speak, with chess In two or three 'years, and during these later years If appears among the wheat. Hut wheat nr corn ground will be freer from this pest on account of previous cultivation. Thoroughly cleaning the seed also eliminates the' shriveled and diseased grains to a large extent Certainly there is scarcely better -reason for sow­ ing seed containing these kinds of grains than for breeding live stock hap­ hazardly. There was unusnal oomplnint this year of the .presence of smut in wheat. I am not positive that carefully clearing the seed will prevent smut in wheat, but, having done so for many years, we believe that this has Induced a healthier growth all along, and this is potent in preventing the growth of the fungus. Furthermore, if Seed con­ taining only healthy grains is. sown,' there is greater immunity from disease of .every kind. This, I think, accounts for the absence of smutinour own crop, although its presence lessened the Valuo of many other crops in the neigh- borhood, ( ■ Farmers often do not suspoct the' presence of impurities in their seed. Since these do not lie upon tho surface or are not readily discerned, the seod is supposed to be practically free from them. Several years ago some seed was purchased from a farmer who declared' that it contained no impuri­ ties. A dose examination revealed that it really needed recloaning, and we succeeded in blowing out choss to tho extent of three per cent' of tbs Whole amount, besides other impuri­ ties. And yet this seed was purer than much that te sown ordinarily. Men may differ at to the propriety ol sowing only large grains, but exhaust­ ive tests have proven that desirable re­ sults follow such seeding, and therefore no mistake can ariseby so doing. There la much wheat that will mako good flonr that had betterhe so disposed than to he used for seed. Every farmer who raises much wheat should have a fan- ning-mili that does good work. This machine has fallen out of use too much ,of late. Lot us have as good seed for wheat as we select for corn or potatoes, for it certainly will pay. It is custom­ ary for the local millers to offer a pre­ mium on wheat that is free from im­ purities which far more than repays the extra pains taken to prepare the seed properly; and they can Weil afford to dc so, for much of the ordinary wheat con­ tains no small per cent of impurities that is worthless.—Ohio Farmer. Steady Growth. The advice to keep the pig, colt and half growing steadily Is not very often given with respect to the lamb, and yet it appliea to every yOung' animal. The young animat should never be allowed to stand still or go backward. As a matter of fact, it seldom stands stilt It it is not growing, while it may not lose any real growth that it has made, it kill lose ground generally, and the ground that It loses will never be made up, Sheep, above all animals, tbe most quickly show neglect, and they show it the most permanently. It is, therefore, neoossary to provide plenty of tbe right kind o f food. When the pastures grow poor, supplement them with good food that will furnish growth iothebotie and muscle, we do not know that we shall «ver be able to im­ prest Upon tbe universal mind of the sheep-raiser tbe great value, of the turnip for sheep- We wish we could. They make a good food for sheep In winter and will perform -an excellent office In keeping the animals growing. a-Westem JdnfsJ- VTlght ef.a Caaaea Ball. .The well-known photographer, An- tehwuta, of Lte*a, has beep for seme yearsexperimenting with photography of the flight of cannon halls from the momentof their projection to their strik­ ing the target or object aimed at.
