A BARN FRAME,

some of the old barn frames, made when
hay or grain was unloaded by hand or
with the old fashioned hay fork and
tackle, are announcement. This frame
can be made as readily as any, holding
the building together as firmly and of
fering no obstruction to hand or hay
fork from peak to floor. The main beam
can be taken out of the old style frames
and this arrangement put m its place at
small cost, says Ohio Farmer.
Ohio Farmer also gives plan for saw
ing selected seed corn, which it is ad-
vised to pick while husking and place in
barn or out building where it will keep
dry.
Then saw an inch board any width
into pieces about four inches in length.
Saw a notch in one side (see cut of each,
and split out the part marked A, leaving
the hook marked B. Push one of these
into the end of each ear, and after this
is done, stretch No. 10 wire across the
building in an out of the way place,
which will also be secure from rats and
mice, hang the ears on this wire as
close together as they will hang, and il
is assured that the result will be an I'M

THRIFTY TREE-RUINED BY SUCKERS.
The owners then attempt to get rid of
them, but they are too strong to be pull
ed, and as a resort they are cut away
with knife or ak once, leaving the stubs.
These send up more new suckers and the
condition of the tree is worse than be-
fore. Timely removal of these sprouts
is easily performed, and a neat and hand
some symmetrical shape is preserved.
If done while the trees are in a thrifty
state of growth or some time during
midsummer, they are much less liable to
sprout again than when performed while
the trees are dormant. If the suckers
have not been allowed to become too
large, they are easily pulled off by seiz-
ing the upper ends with both hands.
placing the boot between sucker and
tree, and giving a sudden pressure with
the foot and a sudden jerk with the
hands. This gives a clean removal, and
they will not sprout up again as when
short stubs are left by cutting them off.
In addition to the foregoing advice,
Country Gentleman adds:
1t will not be forgotten by intelligent
orchardists that the removal of any
growing part while the tree is growing
tends to check its vigor; but in the case
already mentioned, the removal of the
suckers, which are drawing so largely
on the strength Of the tree, is the smaller
of two evils; and it is better to get rid of
them at once, without danger of their
springing up again, than to have them
ruin the beauty and symmetry of the

Benefits Derived from CnltIration.

Just how much cultivation is required
for particular crop to prevent loss from
neglect, and how many times it should
be repeated, says the agricultural editor
of The World, depends so much upon
the crop itself, and other circumstances,
that no general rule will be applicable to
all cases. Of course, corn and potatoes
require more of what we call cultivation
than do wheat and oats. There are some
results arising from frequent and even
shallow cultivation which are extremely
important and which are independent of
what is commonly called clean culture
that is. keeping the crop free from weeds
and grass,
/ AL growing plants require moisture;
without a seasonable supply their growth
viii be checked, and if the crop is not
wholly lost the yield will be disappoint-
ing and unsatisfactory. Most persons do
not fully appreciate the importance of
cultivation as a means of supplying mois-
ture. AS rains are periodical, and as at
certain seasons long periods of dry wealth
er intervene, the moisture must be fur
nished through the medium of cultiva-
ton. The earth is the great storehouse of
moisture from which all living plants
draw their supply. The water in the
earth is either going downward from an
excess poured on the surface by rains or
being drawn upward by capillary attrac-
ton when the surface has become hard
and dry. Hence theimportance of break
ing this dry crust, or rather not permit
ting it to form, by frequent cultivation Or
such a stirring of the soil as breaks up the
capillary connection, arrests the ascend
ing moisture and holds it within reach
of the roots of the plants in mulch of
loose soil instead of allowing it to reach
the surface and be wasted in evapora-
ton.

ARRANGEMENT FOR SOWING SEED CORN.
1t is also told that a great portion OF
the work horses have heaves before they
are 10 years old, and the manner in which
they are fed is the chief cause of this.
The heavy worker, in bad weather Gspe-
cially, is tied to a manager full of hay for
days together, then filled with water till
he is too full to breathe, then he is called
fit to work. A horses manger should
always be empty except for half an hour
at meal time, which is ample time for
him to eat all any horse should, if his
ration is composed of right proportion
of grain.
Remedies for Hog and Chicken Cholera.
A Georgia correspondent advises as a
remedy for hog cholera: To boil garlic
and mix meal and some salt into a slop
and give to all the hogs every two weeks
and you will have no cholera.
For chicken cholera, use an iron trough
and keep rusty irons in it, and you will
have no chicken cholera. Do not use a
wooden trough.

Seed peas and beans can be rid of
weevil larvae in several ways. One and
the simplest way is to plunge them for
a few moments in boil13g water. An
other and a very good and effective one
is what is called the bi-sulphide of car
bon treatment. The seed is put in a
tight box or barrel, small vessel con-
tanning half gill of bi-sulphide of car
bon placed upon the seed and the re-
ceptacle kept tightly closed for at least
forty-eight hours. The drug will then
have evaporated and permeated all
through the seed so that every weevil is
killed. Don't overlook that the vapor is
extremely infammable. The operation
should be carried on outdoors or in an
open shed, and the seed when emptied
out kept away from light or fire.

Southern Cultivator gives the follow
ing plan of ventilating sweet potato
banks, which has proven very satisfac-
tory at the south:
make long banks in line north and
south as high as necessary, and after
putting a good covering of corn stalks
1--WE haveno pine straw about two thick
nesses all over the bank, nail two
eight inch boards together as if to make
a gutter as long as my bank, and place
it on the top Of it in the shape of roof;
then 1 put the quantity of dirt required,
say about three inches all over the gut
ter and bank, and press it down with
back of spade, leaving both ends of gut
ter opened until cold weather threatens,
then I close the north end, but never
close the south end except in very severe
cold, and hen only with straw, and re-
move it Il soon as the weather turns
warm or mild; and thus never lose my
sweet potatoes.
also put a rough covering of about
two feet above my banks to keep the
pelting rain from washing the dirt off
and to keep a more even temperature,
and to prevent sprouting to any great
extent in mild winters.
A very large loss of this valuable crop
is caused by two early digging and for
want of proper and sufficient ventilation
for the banks.

these suckers are only year old or less,
they may be pulled up without much

they draw largely on the strength and

A Good Policy.

President Harrison's policy in respect to
territorial appointments is a just one. His
announced purpose is to make these ap-
pointments from actual residents of the
territories The policy heretofore has been
to give territorial offices to politicians in the
states for payment Of services rendered the
party. The consequence has been that the
offices have not been administered, as a rule.
in the interest of the inhabitants of the
territories, but have been used by their
occupants either to fill their pockets or to
advance their political fortunes Those who
have gone to the territories as governors and
secretaries have expected, as a general
thing, to be sent to congress, either as
senators or representatives, when the states
were admitted into the union. In most in
stances they have known very little about
the duties they were expected to discharge,
and have cared less. In not a few cases
they have been such disreputable charac-
tiers as to be the subject of scandals of a
more or less sensational character.
The territorial offices should be given to
men who have cast their fortunes with the
people of the territories, and who expect to

are interested in having good laws, and in
having them enforced. They know the
wants of the people, and, therefore, to a
certain extent, are capable of ministeriug
to them. 1t is true that they may have
political ambition, but they will be much
less likely than the carpet-baggers to use
the offices for personal profit or other purely
selfish purposes.
The federal offices in the District of Col
umbia ought to be filled by residents of the
district. The most of them for many years
have been filed with imported men. There
are always many applicants for them, be-
cause they are profitable, and the duties
attached to them are light. 1t looks, from
one appointment made this week, as if the
President doesn't intend that his territorial
policy shall apply to tho District of Column
bia. He will make a mistake, however, if
he gives the offices to outsiders. 1t is true
that the residents Of the district are with
out votes, and, therefore, without any po-
litical influence, but it is not their fault
that they are. The least that could be done
for them would be to let some of their own
number have the district offices.

Capt. Francis W. Dawson.

BY tho tragic death of Capt. Francis w
Dawson Charleston, South Carolina, and in
deed, the entire south, suffered serious
Toss. He was a man who, by his own I'm
aided efforts, had won a place among the
leading men Of the country. He exerted a
wide aud beneficial influence, ana his
straightforward and manly course in all
matters, both public and personal, won for
him the confidence and respect of all, and
made for him hosts OF warm friends
He was not an Office seeking politician,
but from the time that he became a citizen
of this country he exhibited deep interest
in public questions, and always took lead
ing part in the discussion of them. His aim
was to be on the side of the right, and if he
ever missed his aim it was the fault of his
Judgment and not Of his heart. He was a
trusted leader Of his party, and of the
south, and during the last national cam
paign his utterances through his newspaper
were republished and commented upon
throughout the country.
As journalist he took high rank. He
made his newspaper, the Net0s and
Courier, one Of the leading ones of the
south, and one of the best in the country.
He gave it strength and an elevation of
tone that made it respected at home and
abroad, and that enabled 1t to WELD a
power for good far beyond the limits Of the
state in which it was published.
He met his death while trying to protect
a weak and foolish girl who was in his
service, but who had no claims upon him.
She was a stranger, however. in a strange
land, and he felt it his duty to try to save
her from her folly. A more selfish and less
merciful man would have turned her adrift,
Indifferent what became of her. Capt.
Dawson's course in this matter was an indi-
cation Of his character.
Capt. Dawson as in the very prime of
manhood. Strong, mentally and physically,
be had every reason to look forward TO
many years Of usefulness. He will be
missed in his city and state no less than in
his home circle, The grief at his death is
deep and widespread.
