There is no telling where the trou-
BILE resulting from mortgages will
end. An exchange tells'of an Ohio
man who mortgaged his farm to get
his wife pair of diamond earrings.
The wife took in washing from the
summer borders to pay the in
terest on the mortgage, and the first
day lost one of the diamonds IN the
suds, and tried to hang herself in
the barn, but the rope broke and she
fell on $3.50 Jersey calf and broke
its back.-Gray County Jacksonion.

Old timers of FL Paso county will
recall the killing of William Camp
bell on the Campbell ranch, sixteen
miles south of FL Paso. Mr.. Camp
bell was burned in a grave ON the
ranch, ard his remains have lain there
undisturbed ever since. The Santa
Fe track has been laid near the grave,
and the widow feared its ultimate
despoliation by side tracks. When
the remains were taken up, and until
exposed to the air, they were as per-
feet as at the time of burial, and,
strange to relate, though the deceased
was clean shaven at the time, his
beard had grown to his waist, and
the hair of his head had grown luxuri-
antly and covered his shoulders. NJ.
Campbell has been In his grave just
twenty-five years and nine months

Most OF the farmers in this vicinity will
put in a large acreage of wheat this fall. The
few who tried wheat last fall merely as an
experiment are so wonderfully surprised at
the enormous yield that most of the ground
now under cultivation Will be seeded to wheat
and corn next spring will be planted on new
ly broken sod. That is right. wheat Is the
crop for this country as 1t has been fully de-
monstrated to be the crops for Western kans-,
and what will grow in Kansas will grow
abundantly in Colorado, only more so.-

RAILWAY NEWS.

Travellers, tourists and people con-
templating visit "back east" make
1t their duty to study up the geogra-
ply of our country, the location of
cities and towns, and the most deslr-
able routes by which they can reach
the desired destination. The open.
ing of new lines, the daily adoption
of Innorations and other matters con-
nected with railroading all prove in
teresting reading, and such items are
most eagerly sought after, while these
vast corporations vie with each other
in advancing the comfort and safely
of their meyer to be satisfied patrons.
We were most forcibly thrown into
this line of thought while enjoying
trip over that road whose name is
as familiar and with whose ramifica-
tions the experienced traveller Is as
well acquainted as with the streets
of his native village. Reference can
be made to none other than the
Wabash whose Lines cover a beauti-
full and fertile country and connect
Omaha, Kansas City, Des Mones,
Ksokuk Quincy and St. Louis with
Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Pittsburg,
New Yoak, Boston and all intermedi-
ate points. But one change of cars
needs be made between Cheyenne or
Denver and New York or Boston.
Quick time, smooth track, sumptuous
dining cars whose cuisine is equal
to that of the best hotels in the land
and in which meales are "served
at 40 miles an hour" to be eaten at
your leisure moving palaces better
known as pullman sleepers, free re.
clining chair cars of the latest and
most approved patterns together with
affable and obllging agents in all
branches of its service, are In each
and every particular characteristics
of the "Wabash." No matter where
he roams the patrons of this Great
Route finds the same care and atten-
tion in the hands of Its representa-
tives, and they are ubiquitous, that
one should expect under the folds of
his country's flag IN foreign lands.

PLAN ron sILo.

are placed inside; they can be either
halved together or simply placed with
ends butting up TO each corner, On the
cops OF these stills are spiked In regu-
lar courses six-inch wide plank two
and one-half inches thick, one-half the
ends Of one course projecting over the
course next below 1t, as appears in the
foregoing sketch. This building up is
continued until the desired height is
reached; in ours IL was carried up twenty
fee from the bottom of sill TO top of last
course. on which the rafters are placed
and sll rooted in.
To build on this plan requires a little
moro lumber than TO erect balloon
frame, and plank both the outside and
inside of the same. But no frame build
ing can be put together that will resist
the press, of inciosed contents, and
be as easily made air-tight as one built
after this plan. Witness the immense
grain elevators that stand throughout
the, Northwest, some of them holding
their millions OF bushels OF grain IN
bins located away up hundred feet
from the bottom of their walls, which
are built up with inch boards placed fat
sides together, one above the other.
The silo walls are lined on the inside
with tarred paper, over which one-inoh
boards placed perpendicularly are
nailed, making perfectly air-tight wall.
II the builder had any fears of frost en-
tering such a wall, after lacking on the
building-p paper let him nail on inch
strips to which to nail the inside boards.

lii order to produce pure article all
Of the ingredients must be pure and
the processes OF change they undergo
must, says the Orange Judd Farmer,
he free from foreign influences. In
seeing that the water and food are
pure, the stalls well cleaned and
bedded and the animals kept warm,
one very important Consideration Is apt
10 be overwhelmingly, pure air.
Where the atmosphere is not kept
pure the effect upon the system soon
asserts itself in one way or another;
the milk may not show it directly at
first, but the quality of the products is
liable to be influenced.
A too common way is to leave open the
hay shoot; but this spoils the hay for
considerable distance on all sides, be-
sides generally giving either too much
or too little circulation. The best plan
Is not TO postpone this matter until cold
weather approaches, but to look it up at
once and make such alterations as are
necessary, as time permits splendid
job for rainy days In the accompany
ing illustration the principle is shown
TO good advantage, which may of course
be varied as circumstances require. The
ventilator leading to the cupola is six
by eight inches with regulator at the
bottom, which brings it under perfect
control.

PALACE OF WOODS

One OF the Most Instructive Features OF ths

Not the most SNOWY, but certainly
one OF the most interesting. features OF
the present exhibition at Paris Is the
Palais des Bots ct Forets-palace oil
woods and forests--a large building
with spacious salons. galleries and bal
comics. built entirely of wood in I'M
dressed logs, sticks aad fagots, yet none
the less very tastefully constructed.
and not without considerable archi-
tectural beauty. The walls and ceilings
ARE paneled with various sticks OF the
wood, showing different colored banks
birch. beech, elm. pine, poplar. for
example, producing pretty artistic ef-
fects
Every kind of tree and shrub which
grows in France. or in any Of her col
onies is here conspicuously represent
ed. II a parent. or teacher, desired TO
give his children few days OF most
effective and pleasant instruction in
trees and woods, here is the ideal place.
For the entire structure appears to have
been arranged for the especial purpose
OF giving lessons in tree-botany.
The columns, beams and posts are
each Of single log; and in every case
the common name OF the tree, together
with its botanical name and the age of
the specimen, are given on a tag at
tached to it. Moreover. there are spec
linens OF the leaf, the flower. the seed.
cone, or nut. easily accessible for ex-
animation; and examples Of all the
known parasites; insects and oorers
which infest and live upon it.
The different sizes 20 which the tree
Rttains. at different ages. are illustrated
by specimen sticks and logs. The forms
of the branches and twigs are shown by
numerous examples.
Next follow the uses TO which the
tree is put, as timber. or in manufact-
ures. and the grain and fiber of the
wood are exhibited. along with the
tools best adapted Tor working Il.
Products from the fiber and the wood
pulp. as seen in paper. or vegetable
silk. linen. etc, are exhibited; also the
extracts from the sap. the gums and
resins which naturally exude from the
tree. and the alkaloids which may be
prepared from them, for medical uses.
Then follows the gnsrls and exores-
cences which sometimes grow abnor-
mally. on each species OF tree. and such
examples ss have been found of petri-
factions OF the wood.
finTly they are given examples OF
the kind of soil in which the tree
fiourishes best. and the geological or
rock formation upon which it Is found
growing.
In word, the palace OF woods might
very aptly be termed palace for easy
and agreeable botanical instruction. =

Let me give you the plan of silo, says
writer in the Country Gentleman,
which we have recently built, and as it can
be followed with ease by any one, even
those not skilled in carpenter work, IL
may be suited to the wants Of large
class OF farmers who have not the neces-
sary mechanical skin, or the ready
money to hire a carpenter to lay out,
frame and erect wooden building suit
able for the desired purpose. The site
chosen for the silo is on hillside close
by one on which we shall build row of
stables where we win feed and house
our herd OF IIolstein cattle the coming
winter.
An excavation 22x22 feet and four feet
deep on the side next to the bank was
first made. A ditch in which were laid
three-inch tile was then dug close to
bank on three sides, thus insuring dry
bottom-the slope of bank being such,
