The Value of Fodder and Corn.
We learned this from one of onrgo-
ahead farmers. Three years ago this
summer thirty cows were fed on one
and one half acres of fodder and corn
for two months. They were all giv
ing milk, making from thirty to forty
cans of eight and one half quarts
dally. Four quarts of meal were fed
per head per day. The cows all look
ed well. Twenty five acres of field
com were planted and on the fodder
wintered forty five cows with the help
of about fifteen tons of meadow , hay
and. green oats, and by adding two
quarts of cotton seed meal and two
quarts of shorts, the same amount of
milk was obtained and about the
same number of cows milked. Fiv*j
acres of the corn were planted on fer
tilizers, the balance on manure in the
hill. That on fertilizers was nothing
but fodder. About 1,800 bushels of
com were raised. The fodder paid
for all the labor on the corn, or the
com paid for the fodder, which ever
way yod like. This Is the way to
economize and make practical the
uses of farming.

Maj.Theodore DeHon of the Charles

good sense by refusing to give their
aid to this advertising catch and as
they are over wide awake they cannot
be caught by advertising dodges. The
newspaper is the legitimate and suc
cessful channel through which adver
tising can be made a success, and it is
only through the local press which
goes into every store, workshop and
home that advertising can be made
to pay. The charge that our mer
chants lack enterprise can’t bo sus

Oar Preachers.
Said a gentleman in a neighboring
city: “There are a few clergymen in
this world, perhaps in , who think
that they know more about “Greek
roots” than some modest laymen.
In fact all their power as preachers
may consist in what they Know about
a dead language. If so, let us hear
little of the old-foshion gospel; that’
the cry of the present hour.” The
pastors of the various churches of this
city /.in and out, are faithful to duty,
and the themes that we hear from
them every Sunday are of “Christ
and the Resurrection.” Pure and
true, they are doing a good work in
our midst.

We have never seen so much cotton
open in this country, unpicked, atone
time before, that we now see. Hands
are in great demand at fifty cents per
hundred and rations. We are sorry
to see so much “log-rQlling” among

who worked all day last Sunday to
get them.
The effects of the recent storm are
more serious than we first thought,
upon cotton. Late crops, wo believe,
are injured more from dropping off
than forward from being open in the
fields. The shortage, including quan
tity and quality, will amount to at
least twenty per cent.
