HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Shrinkage of Wheat In a Granary.
Prof. B. M. Slieltou, of the Kansas
Agricultural College, Faya:
" " In the full of 1879 I prrpnrcd a long
tack, which was tilled with exactly two
hundred pounds of wheat, and sunk It
deeply Into a hln containing one hundred
and tlfty bushels of winter wheat. Here
the sack remained exactly six months,
when It was taken up and again welgh
ed.thls second weighing showing a slight
fractlou over two hundred and one half
pounds, as the weight of the sack of
grain. This seemed to show that wheat
does not shrink in the bin. I have just
now finished a repetition of this experi
ment, giving almost precisely the same
results as those above detailed. On Nov.
30, 1860, a similar long sack was sunk in
a bin of grain, where It was allowed to
remain until July 14, last, or exactly
seven months and a day, when it was
taken up and again weighed, this second
weighing showing a full two hundred
and one pounds of grain. I am not
going to offer an explanation of this in
creased weight of a half pound in the
one case and one pound in the other.
This fact becomes all the more remarka
ble when we consider that our Kansas
winters are among the driest seasons
found anywhere. These experiments do
Beem to show that wheat does not shrink
from evaporation In the bin when put In
perfectly dry. The loss of weight from
wintering over wheat, of which I have
heard farmers complain, must then be
charged to the rats and mice or the leaky
condition of the granary."
How to Take Care of Harness.
On this subjtct the Boston Journal of
Chemistry gives this sensible advice:
A harness that has been upon a horse's
back several hours in hot or rainy weath
er becomes wet ; if not properly cleaned,
the damage to the leather is Irreparable.
If, after being taken front the horse in
this condition, it is hung up in a careless
manner, traces and reins twisted Into
knots, and the saddle and bridle hung
askew, the leather when dried retains
the shape given it w bile wet, and when
forced to its original form damage is
done to the stiching and the leather.
The first point to be observed is to keep
the leather soft and pliable. This can
be done only by keeping it well charged
with oil or grease; water is adestroyerof
these, but mud and saline moisture from
the animal are even more destructive.
Mud, in drying, absorbs the grease and
opens the pores of the leather, making
It a prey to water, while the salty char
acter of the perspiration from the animal
injures the leather, stitching and mount
ings. It therefore follows that, to pre
serve the harness, the straps should be
washed and oiled whenever it has been
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud. If
a pair of harness is thoroughly cleaned
twice a year, and when unduly exposed
treated as we have recommended, the
leather will retain its softness for many
years.
About Shoe Heels.
It is said that a man can always tell a
sensible woman by the heel of her boot.
There is the high heel, hooked in under
the instep, which indicates giddiness,
bad taste and a want of culture; then
there is the medium heel, which indi
cates a desire for fashion, and yet an
objection to excess; then there is the
lady-like, small heel, slightly curved,
not quite so low as the heel of a man's
boot, but yet low enough, and placed in
the proper position for comfort; that
indicates good breeding, good sense and
delicacy. Young men should know
this, and judge accordingly.
CSfThe tent caterpillars can be easily
destroyed if, when they are first seen to
form the web, you ascend the tree to
where they are located either after sun
down or early in the morning, and with
an old glove on your hand just roll them
in their web and squelch them. If there
are any of these pests on the end of small
twigs which trouble you to reach, tie a
cotton rag to the end of a long stick,
saturate it with kerosene oil and set it on
fire ; apply this to the web and sure de
struction is the result.
iSTGrow more grass ; this recuperates
the land, and at the same time yields a
profitable return.
How Long Would It Take to Count Two Mil
lions? Over two million volumes of the revis
ed edition of the New Testament, were
sold on the first day of its issue. These
figures can only tie equaled by the enor
mous sule of Bwayne's Ointment for
Itching Piles, which 1b universally used
as a standard remedy for stopping the
itching at night, when one thinks that
pin worms are crawling about the rec
tum. To calculate the extent of its sale
in actual figures, would Involve the labor
of a life-time. Will you be pestered
