TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE

The Uses of Straw.
Tho value of straw is too little tnlccn
Into nreonnt either on or off tho farm,
says tho Farm, h i'bland Stockman. Too
many farmers seem to net on tho principle
th it it should be fed to cattle. This is
the least important of its uses. Its value
ns food is so slight that cattle fed ex
clusively on straw would die about ns
soon ns when fed o.t any such substance
ns dead h aves, for instance, the only use
of which is to properly distend the
stomach. Tho feeding use of straw,
therefore, is only in connection with
concentrated food.
But there nrc other uses of tho straw
of cereal grains which render it an im
portant integer in farm economy. Gne
of theso is the covering of sheds. An- , - fnmiiv

use, it would bo an advantage if it could
by sufficiently protected just where it
grow, over digging anti pneking nway
elsewhere. And this can easily be dono
by setting up boards along and two feet
from the row, and filling in tho spneo
between with leaves, or othor litter, to
keep out the frost. Thou it can bo taken
up from one end as wanted, always re
turning a good coat here, each time some
is dug. In storing largo quantities, it
will bo better to bring it within a smaller
compass, but tho protecting should also
be done, with a view to making the cel
ery easy accessible at all times.

Talking of Warts.
E. L. Akehurst stepped into John H.
Sheehan & Co.'s store tho other day and
was waited upon Dy II. C. Hart, ono of
tho clerks. While Mr. Akehurst was
picking out change to pay his bill from
a quantity of money that ho had scat
tered on tho top of a show enso, Mr,
Hart remarked:
"I see that you hnvo ono or two largo
warts, Brothor Akehurst.”
"Yes, I havo hnd thorn since child
hood.”
"Why don’t you got rid of them?"
was tho next remark.
"How can that be dono?” asked Mr.
Akehurst.
"Easily enough," snid Mr. Mart.
“Bun up tho stairs to Joo Monroe, tho
order clork, in tho third story, and ho
will tnko them oil.”
"Take them offl” said Mr. Akohurst,
in astonishment.
"Cerainly; you go up nnd I’ll toll
him through tho speaking tubo that you J
arc coming," said Mr. Hart.
Air. Akehurst went up into the third
story. "Good morning, Dr, Monroe,”
snid" ho to tho druggist. "Mr. Ilart
sent mo up to havo my warts takon
oil.”
"All right,” said Dr. Joe. "I’ll do
it.”
lie took hold of Mr. Akehurst’* hand,
looked at a large seed wart, put his
lingers on it, looked Mr. Akehurst in
tho fnce, and, ns tho latter reinavkod
afterward, “we talked and laughed and
laughed and talked like a couple of
youngsters for a few minutes." Then
i)r. Monroe dropped Mr. Akohurst’s
hand and said:
"That wart won’t bother you much
longer."
No fco wns charged, nnd, after thank
ing Air. Alonroe, Air. Akehurst loft tho
store, and in tho rush of tho holiday
trade ho forgot the incident tliat had
amused him for a day. Ono evening,
within a week, ho looked at the hand
where tho wnrt hnd been located and
found that it had wholly disappeared
and the second ono had docronsod in sizo
materially. A representative of tho
Observer saw tho mark on the spot where
tho wart was located. It looked like a
scar resulting from a light burn.
Air. Alonroe was interviewed, and on
being asked how he operated, he smiled
nnd snid: "Thor < is no operation about

Without doubt the greatest nud most
common loss in team management is from
keeping poor horses unable at any time
to do a full day’s work. It is the most
difficult thing possible for many farmers
to get tlio idea info their heads that a
horse capable of doing hut little is value
less. Ail old, worn out horse will always
sell for something, no matter how poor
he may be, and always for a greater price
in proportion to his value when most
worthless, For farm purposes, with the
dear wages now paid to farm help, it
does not require much reduction from a
full day’s team work each day to rr.ako
up the value of a first-class team in every
respect.

comparison with the tables of velocity.
These show, for example, tliat with nil
ordinary sporting charge (thirds and ono
andonc-eighth ounces) the mean velocity
of No. 5 or No. 0 shot, in a range of
thirty-five yards, about 000 feet a sec
ond, or at the rate of 000 miles an hour;
and so, on comparing this (100 miles with
the sliced of the bird’s flight, it will bo
found that the shot moves ton times ns
fast as a bird going sixty miles nn hour;
twelve times as fast as ono that flies fifty
miles an hour, and fifteen times as fast
as one which goes forty miles an hour.
Consequently they would fly about two
and a quarter yards, three yards and
three and a half yards respectively, while
the shot is traveling thirty-five yards at
the rate given above.—New York Herald.

that no man can now get any amount of in

out of overv hundred in this country do,
either directly or indiro tly, suffer from kid-
