I*A. SEED CORN STORAGE. A Western Corn H»n*e Constructed on sew l.inen. A full sized model of a seed corn I Storage house that is in constant use on i a Scott county (111.) farm was display ' ed at the 1005 Illinois state fair. It is I depicted in the cut from the Orange ] Judu Farmer, which says iu regard to the method of construction: The house is IS by 30 feet and meas I ures nine feet under the eaves. The frame is made of 1 by i> i::>rights. and . the slats for holding the ears of corn in ! -A- - • \ //{' £v fp j ~ 2.--. MODEL SE£D CORN" KTOKAOK EOT'SE. place are 1 by IV4 inches, placed three and a half inches apart, up and down. This house holds 500 bushels of ear corn in the racks, and tli .v is space for saving 150 to 2<X) bushels in the attic, so to speak. The house is three feet above the ground and set on ten inches In diameter, surmounted on the top by tin, so that it is mouse proof. It is covered with weatherboarding on the outside, has a window in each end. a door and two windows on each side with a window in each gable. In the floor there are three or forr openings made by taking up three boards. These places and the lower windows are covered with wire netting to pre vent the entrance of rats and mice. A cupola on the roof, with slats in the sides, completes the ventilating scheme. Particular attention is called to the necessity of having a free circulation of air. This is accomplished by the openings in the floor and windows. With that arrangement Mr. Grout, on whose farm the house is built, states that he has had no trouble in securing a complete drying out of his seed corn, lie especially emphasizes the necessity of having the openings iu the floor, as these induce perfect ventilation. Should the weather be* warm and wet during the harvest j>erlod or later, before the corn is thoroughly dried, a small stove may be used to heat the air and cause circulation. Around the base a twelve inuh iward is placed. This completes the house aud makes It one of the most effective in Illinois. If your seed is dried out thoroughly in this way before the cold weather sets in the percentage of kernels that will not germiyate is reduced to the minimum. Wintering Cabbase*. A method for wintering cabbages for spring use is to stand them, roots up. in rows upon the ground in a well drained spot and cover them with ridges of earth. If you want to keep them from freezing, so you can get at them any time during the winter, an other method must be employed. Leave the cabbages uuldvurs m lotnt as «nfo. then rut them into a barn or other outbuilding and lot them pet thorough ly chilled, but not frozen through; tlion cover them with straw, hay or chaff enough to prevent thein from freezing solid, or you may put them Lu a heap outdoors, cover thetn with a roof of old boards, straw and earth. The sides of the structure uiav be simply stuffed with plenty of straw or dry forest leaves. Fatteniss lluks. A number of experiments—in fact, nearly a hundred—show that to produce 100 pounds of gain on the hog in the fattening pen it takes an average of either 4W i> muds of corn. 529 pounds of Kaffir corn. 472 pounds of oats. i:> 9 pounds of pt-.i -\ 4.".2 pounds of wheat or 432 pound -<■: mixed Krain. This shows that bogs mak< • .;ore profitable gain on a ration of utix -1 grain. Tlie above rtgsireo erf fr.'M p--us where nothing but grata was fed—t: > pasture or green feed was given. Ii the Kansas station tut acre of alfalfa hay produced 770 pounds of pork without Krain. This shows that pasture* has an important part to play in the ration for hogs and r that gains can be made more eco , nomleally on dry lot feeding. Ex j change. Handy Addition to Farm Waison.

'>oud Putn in 'i hfit Axe i Inimed Yor He-enforced (>nn*m There is a constantly increasing do maud for some form of fence post which Is not subject to decay. The life of wooden posts is very limited, and the scarcity of suitable timber in many locilit.'fs has made it imperative to lind a substitute A- fence post to prove ihoroughly ' satisfactory rust fulfill (Jirec conditions: First, it linisi be ob tainable at a reasonable cost; second, it must possess sultlcleut strength to meet the demands of general farm use; third. It must not be subject to decay and.must be able to withstand success i.u+,d tl'e effects of water, frost and tire. Although ,n,n pasts of various designs are frequently used tor orna mental purposes, their adoption for general farm use Is prohibited by their excessive «u*f. Then, too, iron posts xposed to the weather ar-. subject to "orroslou, to prevent which they should ~<< pepaiutefj from time to time, and this Item will ftaUti't considerable ex !>ense In cases wtiere « large number of posts are to be used.. At the present time the materlut which seems most nearly to meet these requirements Is re-enforced concrete. The Idea of constructing fence posts ; of concrete re-enforced with*iron or J stew i» by no means a new one, but on ■ tiie contrary sucii pOtJc hove been ex iM'rimented with for years, ana n fctuv ; number of patents have been Issued | • i. ><.;ri;ig many of the possible forms of ffc-oiforcttiuefci It 5s frequent]j r stated th.it u l " 3n made ntnl put wi tiio vr j.r.ul foi tJ.«, ' lar.ie price as a woadt h j>om. tvf course tills will dep'-it-l In any locality ttpoli the relative v :>i: • of wood and the t r.rio -« mnter' ils which g> to make op the concrete post, but In the great i majority of cases wootl will prove the chMper :■ -ierlal ia regard f> first c-o;t. On the other httnd. a con rete post will last indeiiuilely. its strength Increasing with age. whereas the wooden po-t must be replaced at short Intervals, probably making It in re esricnsive in the long run. Iu regard to strength, it luusX I borne in mind that it is not practica ble to make concrete fence j>osts as strong as wooden posts of the same size, but since wooden posts, as a rule, many times stronger than is neces sary this difference In strength should not condemn the use of re-enforce I concrete for this purpose. Moreover, strength in many cases Is of little im portance, the fence being used ouly as a dividing line, and in such cases small concrete posts provide ample strength and present a very uniform aud ueat appearance. In any case, to enable concrete posts to withstand the loads they are called upon to carry sufficient strength may l<e secured by means of re-enforcement, and where great strength is required this may be ob tained by using a larger post with a greater proportion of metal aud well braced, as Is usual in such cases. In point of durability concrete is unsur passed by any material of construc tion. It offers a perfect protection to the metal re-enforcement and is not Itself affected by exposure, so that a post constructed of concrete re-enforc ed with steel will last Indefinitely and require no attention in the way of re pairs.—Farmer's Bulletin.

Hillside Farnt. The hill lands of Georgia are not permitted to wash away down the steep hillsides. Around >-ueh hills there are bands or terraces thrown up with great care to stop the down ward rush <rf water, and thus the washing tendency is checked as soon as begun. These belts of firm sod land are most effective. They rise one above the other in steps of five cr eight feet In vertical height. The rows bend around the bill, conforming strictly to these terraces.

SALVE FOR THE SLAP. A Box on the Ear and a Box With a Diamond Ornament. The following anecdote was written autoblographicaily by Mme. Feuillct. wife of the famous French writer. At the time of the incident she was a young girl of seventeen, living with her parents In a provincial town of which her father was mayor. One day news came that Louis Xapoleon Intendt*l passing through and would spend one night in the town. As may or Mme. Fenillet's father had to ar range the details of the reception and festivals to be given in the emperor's honor, wldle it was agreed that his daughter must present him with a bou quet at the ball to be given in the even ing. Father and daughter were pleased enough, but one person in the mayor's household suffered acutely. Mme. Feuil let's mother was an ardent royalist, and to her the new Imperial dynasty appeared an Intolerable usurpation. According to her daughter, the ar rangements for Napoleon's arrival pulled her two ways. She was pleased that her daughter should have beeu ch'»sen for prominence, anxious that her ball dress should be the most be coming j-ossible, prond in her maternal instincts and at the same time exas perated. reluctant, furious a royal re ception should be given at all to a man she considered aji upstart and an ad venturer. The day came, and the fu ture Mme. Feulllet, with a string of other young girls dressed in white, was placed along the line of procession. When It passed everybody shouted and cheered, and the girl, carried away by the excitement on every side of her, did the same. Suddenly she felt a burning, stinging sensation upon qne cheek, and before she could realize what had happened she was being drugged back out of the crowd by her mother, whose face was crimson and whose eyes were blazing with anger. Then the girl understood. Unable to bear her own daughter Joining the en emy and crying out "Long live Napo leon:" she had publicly and furiously boxed her ears and was now dragging her Ignominloraly home like a child In disgrace. The girl spent the afternoon on her l>ed sobbing with the shock and the shame of what had happened. The great big bouquet for the evening stood jn a Jug and perfumed her little bedroom; ber snowy balj dress lar spread over a chair. Hhe ifi-bsst-d tnal ly. feeling the savor gone out of life, but when from under an arch of flow ers in the ball room she made her little speech and presented her bouqaet ex citement returned to her. Louis Napo leon took ib.em, she thought, somewhat coldly, and, being very pretty n* r»elf as seventeen, the girl felt chilled and n little inclined to go over to the political of her mother. Rut the next morning as Louis Napoleon was step ping into bis carriage to leave ho asked that sh» might be sent for. When she ,:hi ni) li<> (Laifjkucl her again for the beautiful bouquet of bright llowers she had given bin* the evening before though they had not Ijeen.moro bright than the lovely eyes above tbem—and in return he begged ber to accept a smali remembrance of his pleasure;and gratitude.

Tpe following is the s'ory of how ibe famous missionary hymn, "From ! Greenland's Icy Mountains," uamc tw be written, as related by Weber's blog t raiiher, George Smith: "It was JVtit ( Sunday in" the year IS 19. in-lajr, the dean of 81. Asa#h. vicar of Wrexham an<l arranged to preach the. missionary sermon on the day appointed. Oil the when preparing for the service*. the dean asked his son-ln law to write something for them to sing iu the morning.

Hebor read over the lines, when the dean exclaimed, "There. there;'that will do verji. well.' 'So,' replied the poet; 'the sense is complete,' and added the fourth verse. He would have gone on with -a tlfth, lmt tlie dean as inexorable to his request. Let me add another—oh, let me add another:' And the hymn was sung next morning in Wrexham church." Hidden Jewels. The quantity of turquoises that lie hidden iu jewelry, combined with oth er stones and with gold cr by them selves, i-. so extensive In the cities of eastern Europe that it Is that more of them are bought by rem mer i hams in this way than are at present secured from the prlnc:;>nl mines. This is not strange. however, for not onlj turquoises, but other precious stones, are known to exist in remark ably lar s 'e collections in Coasrtaatlnpple .is well as in cities In Turlwrjin, Per sia and communities of Europe. They are hidden aset.y iu gln ■ser' Jars, rugs, old boxes tujd other re ceptacles <jf the household, vlre re the owner t»elieves there Is little fffOSpect of search being made for theft.

HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO, l'iiey Are \umeron*. bat Are >ot All Loral Celebrations. The visitor iu Mexico is apt to be surprised at the number of holidays celebrated here aud made the occasion of rejoicing, with accompanying music and ueoration, and is likely to think that the Mexican does nothing but celebrate. With his religious and national feast days, the Mexican does have many holiday* of more er less general im portance, and when he is not celebrat ing these he may be celebrating the day of his patron saint or of that of some mcßiber of his/ai.iily, so that It seems to require little inducement for him to celebrate. If a member of the family goes out of town for a few days or weeks, his return is celebrat ed In some mild way and his welcome home made pleasant. But n»t all of the celebratious which take place In the capital are Mexican, as the foreign colonies contribute their share of feast days. The Americans celebrate their day of independence on the glorious Fourth of July, and ten days later the French celebrate the fall of the Bastille, and so it goes, the British celebrating the birthday of their king, the Italians the entry into Home ol" the troops of united Italy, the Germans the birthday of the kaiser, the Swiss the day of the formation of the confederation. The Spanish cele brate the birthday of their king, and in September their feast of C'orvodon ga Is important enough to last three days. Xo doubt there are other cele brations not so public or prominent, such as the Chinese New Year and others, lint flip sllmvc jffoes to Show that not ail the feasting in the capital Ls done by natives. An interesting point, however. Is that foreigners who come to Mexico are soon the keenest for the coming of the various holidays, and Mexican, religious or their own. are jealously demanded as leisure days from all houses of business or com merce.—Modem Mexico.

If you wanted to buy a farm in America you would go out with a pick uud spade and dig holes all over a 100 acre tract to make sure the soil was so and so and that there was not more than one stone to the rood. On these ciiff vineyards along the Rhine it locks to you as If there was not more than a bushel of earth to the rood and that the rest was all stone. In America you wouldn't buy a farm on the perpendicular surface of the Grand canyon, yet you Imagine the bluffs of the Rhine seemed almost as impossible before the enterprising grapevine* wot a start there. There may be a few Inches of si>ace on the cliffs where some Cerinan has not made a terrace big enough for a bunch of grapes, but if any such spot has been ovi looked you failed to discover It with your binoculars. There are advantage* in owning a vineyard on the Kbine. Next to the financial return*, the chief advantage lies In the jrlamour of romnuce that bane* over the bluffs.
