The Purdue university agricultural experiment station in a recent bulletin strongly urges the use of cornfodder as feed for horses and cattle, holding that it is fully as good as the best timothy hay if properly cured. To get the best results it should be cut as soon as could be done to allow the ears to properly cure. Danger of moulding is avoided or lessened by putting it in very small shocks, as small as four hills square being all the better. Allowing it to stand until after heavy frosts render fodder much less valuable as feed, because it both dries up and loses its saccharine matter.

Oysters, in all styles, at the Star bakery. Blank deeds and mortgages at the Independent oflice. Seven nice, convenient rooms for rent to small family. Apply to Amos Stevenson.

There tire a number of subscribers who have failed to respond to our statements sent out in July. We shall try them again soon, and ask that they pay attention to the statements— 1 at, least give us the satisfaction of an assurance that they intend to pay for 1 the paper. We like to be accommodating, but there are some who do not seem to appreciate favors. We are going to stop sending the paper year ।in ami year out to people who con- j I tinmdly ignore our requests for set- • (lenient. We have considerable expense to meet in running our oflice expenses that must be met each week -and we can not afford to burden our list with non-paying subscribers. The Independent as a local newspaper i — not as a literary achievement—is worth all we ask for it, and we are running a newspaper for the money there is in it, not for fun nor glory. A Question We are frequently asked why we can ■ sell flour so much cheaper than our , neighboring towns. If you will take the pains to figure what the flour would . cost you when you exchange wheat for . it you will see why we can do so. When • wheat is worth 57 cents per bushel [’ flour would cost you $1.50 per hundred. - Remember we are giving 38 pounds 1 of flour for a bushel of good wheat . and guarantee the flour to be good. 7 Cash for wheat at all times. Retail - price of flour $1.75. } D. Gensingek, Teegarden, Ind.
