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

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

DURABLE FENCE POSTS.
'>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 ;

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.

It is only during the past few years

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. This is a most excel
lent system and one badly needed on

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

but when from under an arch of flow

speech and presented her bouqaet ex

coldly, and, being very pretty n* r»elf

The Story of n Hymn.
Tpe following is the s'ory of how

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. The almost im;npdi£t»*;roau]t
was the com position, as df an ln-|
splratlon, df what is
hymn in the i-hief' mlMgppj
of the race. Re Hrlug^o£
the room, llebcr >w£otefdown
the flVst three verses, be„'':uila» 'From!
Greenland's ley mountains.' ween the
dean called out, "What.have, you writ
ten?' 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

Hidden Jewels.
The quantity of turquoises that lie

eastern Europe that it Is that
more of them are bought by rem mer

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

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

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,

CLIFF VINEYARDS.
The Farmer un toe Hhlue and the
Ditttcntflew He Surmounts.
Going dowu the Khine you get a ies-
Sou iu faruiiu;;. 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. Frownlnc cas

inacce* ible peaks.
"Who lives in that big brow us tone

two upon them as they attempted to
climb the cliff. One day while rolling
a stone down upon a knight the noble
man fell off and was killed."

What Do They Cure?
The above question 5s often asked con
certing Dr. Pierce's two leading med--
cin»-. "Golden Medical Discovery" and
"Favorite Prescription."
The ans.v. r 1* that "Gcldcn Medics;

biuod-purifier. and tonic or
and acts especially favorably in a cura
tive way upon all the mucous lining sur
faces. as of the nasal passages, throat,

bowels (as mucous diarrhea •. f ladder
uterus or oth> r pelvic organs. Kven in
the chronic or ulcerative -tajres of the*,
affections, it is often successful in affect
ing cures.
The "Favorite Prescription" is adv,*.t: i
for the cure of one class of diseases—those i
peculiar weaknesses, derangements and [
irregularity incident t<> women only. It I
is a powerful yet gently acting invigorat- I
Ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn -
out.over-worked women nomatter what
has caused the break-down. "Favorite
Prescription " will be found most effective
in building up th» strength, regulating
the womanly function- subduing pain
and bringinz about .i healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole s stem.
A book of particulars wraps each bottle
giving the formulae of both medicines ami
quotinz what scores of eminent med
ical authors, whose forks are consulted
by phv«icians of all the schools of practice
as guides in prescribing, say of each in
gredient entering into these medicine-.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients enterlnz into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount of
non - professional testimonials. because
