TO KKKP A SILO FHO! R0TTIKO.
How to keep a silo from rotting is
what the Wisconsin professors have been
studying. Tho best remedy seems to be
ventilation. It is well known that a
plank must be kept either constantly
soaked with water or else free from
water, to prevent it from rotting. It is
tho act of wetting and drying that does
the damage. As it is not practical to
keep tho planks of a silo always wet, the
neit thing to do is to keep them dry by
ventilation, such as dead air spaces,
with a slight opening for a curront of
air to move in. American Dairyman.
PASTl'BB TREES.
There are more pastures in this country
without trees than those that are pro
vided with theso blessings to livestock.
There need not be many, but a few trees
scattered over a farm not only add to the
beauty of the landscape but carry with
them the idea that the owner is merciful
to bis beast. The shade-treo may be pro
ductive of moro than a shelter from the
burning sun in midsummer, for in autumn
it may bear a load of nuts that will glad
den the hearts of the boys who have none
too many things to cheer them in their
life upon the farm. Chestnuts, butter
nuts, shAgbark walnuts all furnish tooth
some nuls for the winter evening, while
protecting the sheep or kiuo in summer.
A farm with trees sells better than one
without shade. We have noticed that
tbe treeless farm is most apt to be in the
market. The farmer who plants or pro
tects no shade-trees lets other important
things escape through his lingers.
American Agriculturist.
PLANTING AS ORCHARD.
In planting an orchard for profit the
varieties should not be many. It will
commonly be found that the profit is
mainly derived from one or two thor
oughly trustworthy kinds best adapted
to tho soil and climate, and whose well
known .excellencies and good-keeping
qualities always insure them a demand.
There area few varieties, and only a few,
that seem to succeed fairly well uuder
greatly varying conditions. In general,
however, each one of widely separated
sections seems to have its own favorite
varieties of the apple. Consequently the
orchardist who is upon the grouud can
best determine the kinds he should plant.
but there are a few points that may be
considered as of general application.
High elevation or the vicinity of largo
bodies of water are especially desirable
locations on account of their greater im
munity from frosts. Applo trees should
not bo crowded. A distance of forty
feet between tho trees will seem great
wnen first planted, but when full grown,
in most sections, not too much. Soil
only moderately fertile is to be preferred
to a rich loam, and that from which a
old orchard has just been cleared oil
should be avoided. Cultivation between
the trees for a f ow years will be beneficial
rather than hurtful, provided the original
fertility is maintained by manuring.
After an orchard begins to bear other
crop-bearing on the same ground should
cease. As between planting in tbe fall
or spring, either one is likely to succeed
if carefully done. In a mild climate
fall planting is thought the best. Spring
planting should be as early as the ground
will admit. Neio York World.
STIMULATING FOWLS.
"We believe in stimulating fowls, but
we want the stimulants to consist of such
Articles as will build up rather than tear
down the constitution. We bolieve in
rusty iron in the drinking water during
damp weather or changing of seasous.
We likewise believe iu a piece of assa
fwtida, about tbe size of a hazelnut,
wrapped up in muslin (a regular sugar
teat), and placed in the drinking water
when there are signs of colds in the
fowls. We believe in an occasional feed
of chopped raw onions at night to main
tain health. We believe in a varied diet
of good, sound grain and green food for
egg production, urit good sharp grit
is the article that gives good health.
Look at the number of cases of in
digestion, all owing to the fact that the
fowls have not the proper material to
m9ticate tho food. Indigestion is often
taken for cholera. Lime makes egg
shells. Along with tbe material to
manufacture the egg, lime must be given
to make tbe shells. A certain per cent.
of lime is fouud in the grains, but we
liberally feed oyster shells to supply the
balance.
Keep the birds in a good condition
neither too fat nor too lean and there
will be less sickness and more eggs.
Half-starved hens can neither remain
healthy nor lay eggs. It is false econo
my to cut down the rations. Less corn
and more wheat is better policy. The
science of feeding is not in stinting the
fowls, but in getting them as much as
they can cat of the proper feed. In
other words, for eggs, stimulate the hens
with such grains as wheat lud oats as
much as they will eat up clean. For
growing flesh give them all tho corn
they wish. Stimulation in the right way
is ttie proper tmng to do. JloineUad.
FEEDING TUB HORSES.
The following hints on horse-feeding
are condensed for the Neie York Voice
from ud article by Veterinary Surgeon
C. II. Michener, published in a special
report of the United States Depurmeut of
Agriculture:
In the home digestion takes place
principally in tne Intestines, aud here,
in all other annuals, and with all foods,
we hud a certain purt only of the prov
cuder has been digested; auother portion
is undigested. It' the horse receive too
much food a large portion of digestible
food passes out unacted upon, entailing
not only the loss ot this unused food
but culling for an uunecessury exjiendi
turo cf vital force on the part of the
horse, and keeping him poor in flush.
Foods selected lor the hore must be
wholesome, clean aud tv.eet; the hours
ot feeding regular, and the mode of
preparation found by experience to be
best for the animal must be adhered to
Cleanliness iu preparation uud aduiiuis
trution must be observed.
The length of tune occupied by stom
ach digestion varies with ilillerent foods,
Hay aud btntw pass out of the stomach
more rapidly than oats. Oats bliould
Khtrcfore be triveu afUi buy, iuetead of
first; for If reversed the hay wonM
causo the oats to be sent onward to th
intestines before being acted 01 by the
stomach, and as a result produce indU
gestion. Experience confirms this.
There is another reason why hay should
be given first, particularly if the horse
is very hungry or is exhausted from
overwork. The hay requires more time
for mastication, insuring proper admix
ture of saliva, and cannot be bolted a
are the grains.
Water must not be given soon after
feeding as it washes or sluices the food
from the stomach before it is fitted for
intestinal digestion.
llapid or severe labor cannot ba. per
forated by the horse on a full stomach.
For such horses lood must be given in
small quantity and, if possible, about two
hours before going to their work.
Tho disproportion between the siee
of the stomach aud the amount of water
drank tells us plainly that the horse
should always bo waterod bofore feeding.
Never feed too soon after a hard day's
work. A small quantity of hay may be
given but grain shoulj be withheld for
an hour or two.
Do not feed concentrated food entire
ly. Bulky food must be given to detain
the grains in their passage through the
intestinal tract; bulk also favors dis
tention and thus mechanically aids ab
sorption. For horses that do slow work for
the greater part of the time, chopped or
cut hay foil with crushed oats, ground
corn, etc., is tlie best kind of feed, as it
gives the required bulk, saves time and
half the labor of feeding.
Sudden uhnnges of diet are always
dangerous. Change tho food gradually.
A lull meal of corn fed to a horse ac
customed to outs, will almost always
sicken him.
If a hone is to do less work or to rest
see that he receives less food. If this
was observed even Saturday night aid
Sunday thcro would bo fewer cases of
Monday morning sickness."
Food should bo moro of a laxative
nnture when a horde is to stand for some
days.
Above all thiags avoid feeding musty
or moldy fooder These are frequent
causes of lung troubles and other dis
eases. The digestive organs also suffor.
Musty hay is generally considered to
produce disorder of the kidneys, and all
know of the danger to pregnant animals
from feeding from ergotizel grasses or
grains.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A fence being a necessary evil, econ-
omy in its construction has always been
considered importaut.
Never feed raw cornmeal to every
young chicks. Crumbled stale bread is
always good for them.
It is important to have thrifty, vigor
ous breeding birds if you expect thrifty,
vigorous chickens. Now is tho time to
be making tho selections.
The cost of wintering poultry can
nearly always be greatly reduced by pioper
care now iu securing and storing away
a sufficient supply of food to last until
spring.
With proper care in selecting out and
keeping the best of the fowls each year
for breeding, they can be gradually im
proved at a very low cost. Get stand
ard breed at the start.
Providing worm, dry quarters is oae
of the essentials necessary to induce the
hens to lay eggs during the winter; eggs
pay a bettor profit during the winter !
than at any other season
When the hens are kept separate from
the roosters not only will they lay bet
ter, but the eggs will keep better. When
eggs are stored away those from hens
here there are no roosters are tho !
w
best.
While in many localities it is best to
close up tbe poultry house at night dur-
ing the day the doors and Tnw '
should be opened every day that the
weather will admit, so as to secure a good
ventilation.
Because you have no bone mill ia no
reason you should not get scraps from
the butcher's bone box and give the
hens a chance to have some fresh meat

hatchet and help '
stand help the hens to ft little of ,
them too.
A ditch here and a load of dirt ihere
may prevent lots ot mud and filth in the
stable yards during the coming winter.
You can not put in an extra hour or two
to better advantage than to see what im
provements you can make iu or about
your stables. Devote a half day to this
purpose alone and you will not regret it.
"What is worth doing at all is worth
doing well." This proverb will nowhere
apply better thau to tho care of poultry.
Without constant attention and thorough
ness, succeES is not expected. Some kinds
of business may be occasionally slighted
without serious harm, but in this occu
pation one mishap may blast the hopes
of a whole season.
A Missouri farmer is said to have hung
his seed corn in his smoke house aud
smoked it as long as he did his hams. It
is alleged that every kernel grew and
that it was not troubled by ground squir
rels, gophers, mice or blackbirds, whilo
some corn, not smoked, that was planted
beside it was entirely destroyed. As the
smoking would probably not injure the
corn, it might be well to try the expert-
mcnt on a small scale.
A Papor-.Honey Parasite.
A few years ago quite ft sensation was
created in Europe when a medical man
(in bt. Petersburg, I think) drew atten
tion to the uuseen dangers lurking in the
mouth-pieces of public telephones.
More recently a Prussian doctor has
found out that those wretched tiling,
could be transmitted for miles and mile
along the telephones.
And now (so toor lrade says) it seems
Dr. L. B. Clifton, the Macon scientist,
has detected a peculiar parasite which
infects our paper money. "It is found
nowhere else, and though it is iuvisible
to the unassisted eye, the small creature
multiplies at a surprising rate and is very
uuir.erous. Dr. Clifton counted 3000 of
them ou an old five-dollar bill. He said
the money parisito ia an acarus, and
closely related to the spider family. IU
appearance is by uo means handsome.
Iu bhupe it is oblong and flat, and has
four clumsy legs aud a sharp bill. It is
never known to leave the paper on which
it lives, and never becomes a parasite on
the human body," American JSotei and

ABOl'T PRESERVES AND JELLIES.
Says Miss Paxton in tho Lalie' Ilomt
Journal: "Jollies and preserves should
be kept in a dark, cool and dry closot.
If you have no dark closet, wrap news
papers about tho preserve jars whon they
aro put away. Hundlo tho jars carefully
when you have occasion to move them,
for it often happens that a mold forms
on the top ot the fruit, which does not
do it any harm, but rather helps to pro
tect it, if not mixed in with it by care
less haudling. When you are stinted in
closot room you can place strong sheets
of pasteboard parts ot old boxos on
tho top of one layer of tumblers of jelly
or jars of fruit, and set auother row on
these. Before storing theso jars in the
closet wipe them carefully with a wet
cloth, ltinso this cloth frequently in
hot water. It is a wiso plan, whon put
ting up jellies, to cover each tumbler
with a round piece of plaiu white paper,

MARKING HOUSE LINEN.
Ornamental monograms for marking
house and table linen charmingly doliu
eated in the Japanc.-e style consist of
letters designed with bamboo stalks dec
orated with birds in various positions,
each holding a spray of foliage aud ber
ries. To this device is attached an
escutcheon inclosing a smaller letter
standing for the Christian name. These
letters are adaptable to every kind of
I decorative work where painting and cm
! broidery aro brought iu requisition nnd
are reproduced iu colors that harmonize
with either tho toilet set, bed hangings
or diuner service, as they may be em
ployed. There are several ways ot exe
cuting these initials. In embroidery
white or colored silks or cottous arc
effectively set oit with washing gold
thread, or a well paldod satin stitch can
be used for the jointed stems of the bam
boo, as well as for the leaves and berries,
with crewel work for the birds. An
other way of displaying this design to
great avantacre is to produce the lettors
I in applique work, and in this case the
bird may be paiutc.t if preferred. Tho

LADY MAODONALD'S TKETOTALIBM.
Lady Mac.uinatd, the wife of tha late
Prime Minister of Canada, is a staunch total
abstainer. The story of how she became so
has been told by herself, tjhe says, after
some rellectiou, s!ie was led to nlve up wina
drinking suddenly at last on Christmas Day,
1NI7. She had thought a good deal on the
subject, but uevr made any decided resolu
tion until that day. Conversation at dinner
turned on total abstin.-noe, and a guest, a
strictlv teoiberance man. who held high
office in the dominion, said that cractic:iby
total abstinence was Impossible for any onj
"in society." Lady ilacuonald combated
mis ana, as a resin, vi iui-lult uikuwuu.
she was i halleiiEed as to whether she would
herself 'Vive ui her glass ot sherry at dm
ner." She at once decided to try, saying,
"Henceforth I enter tho ranks of total ab
stainers, and drink to our success in water."
Her ladyship's testimony is that ".Since
then, thank God, I have never found any
necessity for wiue. In health I con do my
life's work without any aid trom dangerous
stimulants; in sickness 1 have invariably
and positively refused to touch it.
THIt 8 CIAL GLASS.
The social glass reflects horrid shines to
those who indulge in it frequently. The
daily papers cbrou eie two fr ulitful conse
quences of the coutiuu jj nse of this soul dis
torting reneetor. in one c iunty there Is an
atrocious murder; ill another citv. a brutal
assault, resulting in th death of a neighbor
and friend. And yet when ths criminals
are brought to trial, it will lie found that
neither had any malicious feeling against
his victim nn 1 that botli, when not under
the mnuenca of honor, were irood neighbors
and law aid line; citiiwns. So-iable habits
and the social glass are responsible for these
two crimes. The criminals deserve punish
ment for their urime. They will have no
errective cle:nc a id no excuse will prevail
to lessen their emit by showing, that if they
were in rxfese.Mon of their senses, they
wouia nave been incapanle ot their crimes.
punishment must he mete I out. Who will
dare advance a plet in extenuation ot their
crimes, iu favor of the brutal mur derersr
Justice must prevail. We are a law abiding
people and criminals nun: ba punished that
the community may be protected. AU this
is true and riirlit, an 1 yet there are
those who think that au- ounoa
of prevention iniht lie used to pre
vent the development of criminal proclivi
ties of men when, the provocative otuse
leading to the commission of crime, is known
to those who are authorized to prevent tbe
commital of greater crime by the arrest of
those whose frequently intoxicated condition
and quarrelsome dispositions foretell, to the
officers of the law, what the consaquenees of
permitting tbe violent drunkard to remain
at large, will be. A criminal is punished be
cause he deserves punishment and to prevent
others from committing crime. These two
objects influence 1 law makers and law ot-
ncers in tbe past, but we natter ourselves
that the prevention of crime is more to be
desired than the punishment of criminals.
iv e no nut regard our ponce omcers as ap
pointed tor the sole purpose of arresting
criminals. Theirs is a protective, preventa
tive service aud we treat them as guardians
of the public peace, aud except in prevent
Ing the mnueuce or intoxicating liquor Irom
developing criminal proclivities, they are
quick to detect and prevent other influences
trom fostering criminals. XI every one
who became intoxicated knew that
he was liable to arrest, this
knowledge would have a wholesome effect
on the drinker. But it may be slid that the
arresting of every one who became intox'-cat-e1
would be an odious duty to impose on
an ollloer; would be too degrading on good
though weak citizens, aud too great a humil
iation on their tamilios. This may be tru ,
but the benetit to the weak and tue gaiu to
his miserable family would compensate for
the humiliation. Though we doubt tbe
goodness of any man wno sacrifices his in
terests and the happiness ot his family to
the gratification ot his appetite for intoxi
cating liquur, yet, we would nut go too far.
We would only ask that the violent be shel
tered in the county jail, uutil the violence of
the storm raised by them has spent its force
aud they were suitleieiitly calmed to learn
that they had been a publio nuisance which
could be no longer tolerated, and as they are
generally well-meu lintf and seltisu men,
they would try to s t conduct themselves as
to escape personal inconveuience and pun
ishment, and thus tuey would gaiu control
of themselves iu time to prevent their crim
inal proclivities from gaiuiuj control of
them. Sacrtd Heart Review.

The Klvert "Kastler for the Bride.
Colonel Hart, manager of the Cornu
copia mine of Neihart, told en interest
ing little story the other evening, says
the Salt Lake (Utah) Herald. Here it ia:
One of the principal owner of the Mol-
lie Gibson mine at Aspen, Col., had ft
daughter who was married ft few years
ago. Shortly after her return from her
wedding trip she went to hor father and
told him she wanted a house. The old
gentleman, after ft few momenta delib
eration saidi "Myglrli I'll tell you what
I'll do, I'll give you one day's work of
any two men in the mine you may se
lect." Tho bride tl ought this was
rather a slim allowance from one who
could well afford to be generous, nnd
she was not slow to expiess the disap
pointment which she felt.
The young lady was very popular witn
the miners, and whon thoy heard of the
proposition which the chief had mado to
his daughter they held ft meeting and
elected tho two best workmen Irom
imong their number. Thoso two worth
ies presented themselves before the
young lady, and after a vaft amount of
preliminary bowing and scraping tho
ijickesmnn addressed her as follows:
Say, Mis-a, if you will ouly choose
os two fellers you'll never be sorry for
'.t. We'll git au everlastin' rustle cn us,
mil wo will stick the old man for you.
Vou can just bet your sweet life wo
Bill."
She selected these two men, aud on
iho dny appointed they did "git an
ivei liistin' rustle on them," and succccd
id iu Ktickiug tbe old man to the full
lxtcut of their promise. Ore to tho
mlue ol $31,000 was taken out by these
wo miners in one day, and ono of the
rcry finest mansions in Aspen was the n
rult of their toll and the selection made
y the ycung bride.
