MOUSSES AS A STOCK FEED
W. 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

are high priced, It probably hua a plaoe

diluting it with water so that stock

conclusion of the Bulletin teems to be
that these ennbe lioutlit more cheaply
in such feedH a h corn than in the

for 'J'ou to find out what It would cost

an investment in molasses for a feed

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,

Whistler Did Not Care.
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

looked out of hor parlor window ono
day -and saw n man walking up and
down the sidewalk, apparently in great
dejection. There was something pa
thetic and appealing in his manner;
so she took a dollar bill, put it in an
envelope and wrote on the envelope,
"Never Bay die."
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.
Next day tho same melancholy man
called at her house and presented her
with ten dollars.
