feeedliig Oraw In Fodder Corn According
to a Vermont Practice.
The wiuter of 1896-7 was a severe
one for meadows ami especially the
newly seeded:" fields. The ground 'was
frozen deoply and soma of the time barq
aud partly covered with Ice. The voting
clover is largely killed, while cu older
meadows tbe grass . is more or less iu
jured. Some of tbe fields will have to
be plowed pud either sown with grain
or planted with fodder corn. In this
connection a Vermout correspondent of
The New England Homestead writes:
Instead of pluming tbe laud to corn
tbis year and seeding to grass, along
With a grain crop next spring, it wight
be better to try tha .following plan,
Which is being successfully followed in
ftmny cases. Plant to fodder corn in the
usual way and just before the last cul
tivation sow on the grass seed. Of conrso
the . laud should bo properly fertilized
either with manure or phosphate ' and
level cultivation practiced. All of this
work can be very well dono with tho
implement known as the woeder. By
using this thoroughly the soil can bo
made clean and mellow. Bow the grass

A roadbed may suffer disruption by

dotermiued experimentally . that clay
shrinks one-fifth of its bulk iu excess
ively dry weather nnd increases to a cor
responding degree when wet, and that
silicious sauds and gravels undergo no

that when a way passes over a elny bed,

At one of Che most interesting
I games of poker ever played in Min
neapolis Nicollet inland was put in
tho jack pot by a man who thought
ho understood tho game, but found
there woro others who understood it
better. " - -
Fifty-five years ago Pierre Botti
neau took up a claim on the spot
where St. Paul now stands. A year
later ho traded it for a horso and
cow, whic h he drove away into tho
wilderness, never dreaming that the
land he had almost given away
would in a few years bo the site of
a great city. For a small sura bo
purchaHed a large portion of what is
now the business part of Minneapo
lis and put up a log cabin on a littlei
mound in the center of Nicollet is
land. Half a dozen of tho old settlers,
Bottineau among thorn, had a little
poker club. One evening tho stakes
kept growing larger and larger, un
til every jackpot contained a small
fortune. Mr. Bottineau had been
leming heavily, but at last was dealt
n hand upon which he hoped to re
gain his lof-sos and win something
bosides. He was given four queens,
nnd, drawing emo card, secured an
ace, leaving four kings as the only
hand by which his could be beaten.
Ho themght he saw one of the play
ers discard ii king, and ho eontsielered
his hand invincible and played it ac
cordingly. Boon ull but Dottinoau
xanel tho man opposite him dropped
their cards and retired to watch tho
game, 'iho table was heaped with
money nnd tho personal belongings
of tho two men. The flickering light
of tho candlo khone dimly on tho
ilimhed faces ns they watchful each
other warily out of the corners of
their ey-s. All of Bottineau's pos
ser;i;ions lay on ihe table), und it was
his Let. Ifo looked at his hand care
fully and then sejd that all he had
left was Nicollet ihIuikI,. which ho
would bet against 200. The bet was
called, and Bottineau laid down his
fei:r queens with a smile of triumph.
Aniid a dead silence his opponent
laid bri ihe tabiu fuce up four kings
and n tray. It wns so still you could
havo heard tbcm breathe. Then
Bottineau called tor writing materi
als and made out, a eked to the is
l.mel. From, that elny he never touch
eel a curd or countOnuuced gambling
in any farm.
After drifting around the country
ho went to Reel Lake Falls nnd took
up o claiai and nnnained there until
tho time of his eleath. He was om
1 loyc-d as a guide and scout and wus
ono of the principal meinbors of tho
Bibley expedition. He now every
