In reply to question how much a
silo should cost, it is told in bulletin
issued from the New Hampshire station
that the day Of costly silos is past, and
it is this fact alone which enables the
rapid extension Of this system Of storage.
A wooden silo keeps its contents with
less loss than a stone or cement one,
chiefly because of the penetration of air
through mortar and cement. A silo
built Independent of the barn, having
its own frame, roof. etc. can be built
for one dollar per ton Of capacity
if above seventy-five tons capacity. IF
built in the corner of the barn the cost
of material and labor will be about one
half that sum, but on most farms where
there is lumber, and where much of the
work can be done by the farm help.
this cost can be reduced almost, If not
quite, to an actual cash outlay Of twenty
five dollars

From the Kansas experiment station
comes the report Of the crossing Of varie-
ties of corn for the second and third
years. 1t is stated that the effect of the
cross is visible in only a few cases the
first year, but the second year shows
generally ears more OF less completely
blended between the two parental types.
Rarely the grains Of an ear are unlike
each other The product of the third
year is generally true to the seed planted
and by selecting for seed the grains de
sired for that form or quality the strain
can usually be perpetuated. Desired
points Of improvement can therefore be
fixed by selection through crossing.

No process is known BY which rancid
butter can be restored to its original
freshness and made as good as new.
There are, however, some methods oc.
casionally used for improving it when il
is not too far gone. One is to melt it in
twice its weight Of boiling water This
dissolves the acids and much Of the ran
cid taste is removed. 1t is then poured
into larger quantity of ice cold water,
worked over and resalted. This i'm
proves it for cooking, but destroys the
grain and does not make it fit for table
use. Another method is to work it over
in cold water in which little soda has
been dissolved, take it out and wash il
in clear cold water; then churn it in
sweet new milk, wash it again IN cold
water and salt it as when it was first
churned- For keeping butter through
the summer no better process Is known
than to keep it wholly immersed iii
strong salt brine.

Advice to Young Authors.

Get originality into your work. my
friend. If your forte is writing articles
choose new, bright, popular topic and
treat it freshly. Don't affect the dull
and stupid essay style. Use few words.
Make your sentences brief. Be crisp and
make your thoughts crackle. Tell the
public something it doesn't know and is
trying to find out. If you lean to fiction
tear away from old plots and take an in.
cldent that a reader will recognize at
once as being fresh. Make your dialogue
natural and bright; let your characters
move around and have a being. Stop
when your story is told lively story of
1000 words, full of life and snap, has in
1T more prospects Of success than drawn
out tale of 5000 words. If you feel poe
try to be your forte appeal to the heart
rather than the mind. Don't fail at blank
verse when you can succeed at popular
poetry.-E. W. Box in Ladies' Home

A SONG OF THE SEA.

Come out where the pillows are cool and deep
Where the waves never rest and the wind:
never sleep,
Where plumed steeds course the oceans
breast,
Each Haunting pennant Of foam at his crest
Where the zephyrs are practiced to try their
wings,
And the sea new shreks and the mermaid
When the moon is low and, with shudder and
sigh,
The tides are turned meath her watchful eye!
Come down on the sands where the plafntive
snipe
Shrills mem'ry Of Pan and his reedy pipe,
Where the ripples that lap on the shelving
beach
Seem to welcome a continent to their reach:
Where the great brown rocks in their trailing
weeds
Seem doing penance for guilty deees
Centuries since, when the pirates sail
Drove a bark to seek help in the teeth of d gale.
Leave sorrow behind when you'd frolc with
me,
For there's never grief that can sadden the
sea,
And never burden too heavy to throw
Away to be lost in the ebb and flow;
Come down to the marge Of the seething earth
And battle in the surges, where Love had birth
Where the fountain Of youth in a crystal cave
Plays. hidden for aye, meath a laughing wave

Her Bargain.

The following true story is told in the
journal of Emily Shore"
A little girl near US was one day play.
ing before the house, when a woman ap.
peared and begged a few pence She
had a baby in her arms. And the child
was SO delighted with the little thing
that she asked the woman if she would
sell it to her.
"What will you give for it, miss?" was
the counter question.
'Half a crown"
VERY WE'LL" said the woman; lets
see the money"
1t was produced, and the sale made
The little girl took the baby, carried it
up stairs and laid it on her bed, and
after she had fOndled it "enough for
once" scampered down stairs, calling
to her mother.
Mamma, mamma! I've got a live
doll! | always wanted one, and now
I've got it."
The baby was found, and the story
frankly told, but though the begga1
woman was sought all over the town,
no trace of her could be discovered.
Meanwhile the baby's little ''owner'
begged SO hard that it should be kept
that the parents yielded, and the living
doll became household blessing.

Chinese Children

The Chinese give their boy babies &
name in addition to their surnames
and they must call themselves by these
names until they are twenty years old.
At that age the father gives his son a
new name.
The Chinese care SO little for their girl
babies that they do not give them a
baby name, but just call them No. /
No. 2, No. 3, according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more of in
China than girls are, that if you ask a
Chinese father who has both a boy and
aglrl how many children he has, he will
always reply, "Only one child."-Cin.
