C, Stader, VInegrov?, Kentucky, writes: "What do you know about the value of black atrip or low grade mo laHtu M as u feed, and bow much should be fed?" The Experiment Station Huljetin No. 118. of the MaHHachusettb Nxperl moot Station, Amherst, Mass., gives a very complete digest of the subject of molaases as a feed. The conchiFious do not aeem to be very satisfactory regarding Its'Aaiue, When- ii t an I e obtained cheaply, and where the grains are high priced, It probably hua a plaoe in tho f? eds. It la aomctimoa fed by diluting it with water so that stock will drink it, but generally it in used to give cheaper food* more palatuhil ify; that 1b, it ran be mixed with Chop ped straw or other coarse hay and BtobJj will eat this to the molasses It in alf?o lined to quite an extent with alfalfa meal. Ita principal feeding constituent It the sugar or carbo-hydrates, and the conclusion of the Bulletin teems to be that these ennbe lioutlit more cheaply in such feedH a h corn than in the inoluKKfH, However, it would be well for 'J'ou to find out what It would cost you In your locality before deciding an to feeding: or not -feeding It. At the present prices of otht;r feeda, we nrc Inclined to believe you will find that an investment in molasses for a feed will not be a profitable one. Voura very truly, I H C SERVICE nUREAlJ. LAYING TILE IN QUICKSAND Reply to M. K. Barton, Mishawaka, Indiana: "Will you please givo pic n littlo Information on daying tile on a farm that has u quicksand bottom, also a little advice on killing out emartweed?" This is quite a difficult proposition, and we belieTo the only way that' re. suits can ho obtained Is to use Home durable timber and lay a board In the bottom of the ditch on which the tile can bo laid to keep it from getting out of line. You would need a board I about the name width as the tile, that Is, for 4-lneh tilo a 1x4 board would bo sufficient. ' At the points where the boards join, a short piece 12 or if ruches long should be placed below <jo hat there would not be a possibility, of the tile becoming disjointed by one end of the board settling. If you can get a conslderablo fall,, tho sand will probably .not bother In filling up the tile, but if you cannot get a fall of three or four Inches per 100 feet, it would be best, if possible, to fill in about the tile with clay or some other sol! through which the water would seep and at the pfir. time, keep cut the sand. As to smart weed, we believe if you get your land properly drained you will not be bothered with this pest, as it only grows in roil that cont'iln-!' too mueli water for the proper growth of ordinary crops. If draining doe? net do it. we are sure that you can get rid of it by cultlvatib;#. A few croes of corn will help rid your land of this pest. Yours vevy truly, I H (Y SERVICE BUREAU.

One day the Into James McNeill Whistler, the famous artist, went into ji London hat shop. He stood thero bareheaded, ad the clerk had taken liis hat to another part of the shop to match it. As ho leaned idly against the counter, a man rushed up to him, took off his hat, thrust it Into Whist ler's face, and exclaimed in anger: "Look here, I want you to understand that I know something about hats, and I insist that this hat doesn't fit mo!" Whistler looked at the man with in terest; then ho smiled politely. "Please put the hat on," ho said, and the angry man did so. Whistler looked him over critically from head to foot; then in his peculiar, drawling manner, ho said; "Quite right;* quite right, sir, it does not fit. Neither docs your coat; and furthermore, your waistcoat is too largQ, and your trousers arc a horrible color." After Whistler went out, it took the proprietor half an hour to convinco tl^o tii a n that it was not one of tho clerks who had insulte*. him.? Youth's Companion. ? ' The Winner. A. benevolent old lady in ono of tho streets which still rvtain the red brick houiea of old-time New York looked out of hor parlor window ono day -and saw n man walking up and down the sidewalk, apparently in great dejection.

She slipped out of tho house in tho most casual manner she could assume and handed tho envelope to the man as she passed him.
