In such pen, If properly made, corn

the desired capacity, or the length of

not be large, and notched only
deep enough to prevent their rolling,

if the poles are large, or brought close
together, the circulation of air will not
be free enough. Cribs are commonly
made too close: although the cracks be-
tween the poles be two inches wide,
not enough rain to do any apprecable
damage will beat in, because the poles
will project out over the cracks. A
foundation may be made by laying
large logs on the ground; but this is
Objectionable, as the rats will burrow

The SHY Outcry Against American Trui
by English Papers.

The silly Cutlery Against American Trut
by English Papers.
The recent excitement in England
against American apples, about which
inquiry has been made by some of our
readers, was originated by the Horti-
cultural Times of London, and copied
by many of the prominent daily and
other journals. 1t was apparently
based on the common practice in this
country of spraying young fruit with
arsenites for the destruction of insects,
by which the fruit which before was
distorted and deformed by them, was
made smooth and fair. The London
papers referred to appear to take il
for granted that tho sprayed fruit has
absorbed the poison, and so much of it
that it is unsafe to buy any more Amer
lean apples and that those who eat
them devour dangerous quantities of
arsenic. The absurdity of this posi-
ton is distinctly shown when it is
stated that the largest quantity of
Paris green (Which is only part
arsenic) used in spraying, is only one
pound in 200 gallons of water, or over
three hogsheads, making only one
part of arsenic in about 1000 parts OF
water. In spraying, not one part OF
the water in ten ever reaches the fruit,
but covers the leaves Or drops to the
ground, and not more than single
drop enters the calyX, and of this
single drop only one-seven-thousand
part is arsenic--enough TO kill n young
insect which weighs only two-hun'
dred-thousandth part the weight of q
man. 1t is therefore necessary for 9
man, to receive any injury from this
arsenic. TO eat at least six bushels oi
apples at u single sitting!
But the Paris green is insoluble, ant
! does not enter the fruit at ALL and this
minute portion is all washed off by the
first shower, as DIR. Kedzie showed
with apples heavily sprayed on pur
pose, where not the slightest yestige o
the poison could be detected by the
most rigid test If our English friends
had been in the way of receiving pota
toes from America some years ago
which had been treated with Pari,
green, they might with more propriety
have raised an excitement agains
them, for larger quantities of the poison
were used for the striped beetle, al
though it could never penetrate the
soil to reach the tubers, and coulc
/ never enter them when it got there
from its insoluole nature. The truth
is that millions of persons eat such po
tatoes every year without any harm
and tens of thousands eat sprayed ap
pies annually without injury. Th,
whole matter as presented in th'
English journals, naturally recalls th
account of the philosopher who wro t,
an elaborate treatise to prove that
man could write better on any subjec
by knowing some thing about it t-Coun

steel and Nickel Change Their Relations
Under the Influence OF Cold.
In his presidential address before the
chemical section of the British associa-
tion Prof. Roberts Austen spoke of the
consequences Of allotropic changes
which result in the alteration of struc-
ture as being very great The case of the
tin regimental buttons which fell into
a shapeless heap whom exposed to the
rigorous winter of st. Petersburg is
well known. The recent remarkable
discovery by Hopbinson of the changes
in density OF nickel steel containing
twenty-five per cent. of niclSeD which
are produced by cooling TO thirty de-
grees affords another instance.
This variety of steel, after being
frozen, is readily magnetizable, al
though it was not so before; its density,
moreover, is permanently reduced BY
no less than two per cent by the ex
posure to cold, and it is startling to COZ
template the effect which would be
produced by visit to the Arctic re.
gions of ship of war built in temper
ate climate of ordinary steel and clad
with some three thousand tons of such
niclel-steel armor; the shearing which
would result from the expansion of tho
armor from exposure to cold would de-.
stroy the ship.
The molecular behavior of alloys is,
indeed, most interesting. w. Spring
has shown in long series of investiga'
tions that alloys may be formed at the
ordinary temperature, provided thai
minute particles of the constituent ele"
ments are submitted to great pressure
w. Hallock has recently given strong
evidence in favor of the view that an
alloy can be produced from it's constitu'
ent metals with but slight pressure, i;
the temperature to which the mass is
submitted be above the melting point
of the alloy, even though it be far be-
low the melting point of the more easi'
ly fusible constituent A further in
stance is thus afforded of the fact that
variation of either temperature OF
pressure will affect the union of solids,

a board against their ends to hold them
in place. A door is hinged to the out
side of the crib, and as the corn is
thrown in boards are placed inside the
crib across the opening. If they pass
Beyond the opening only an inch at
each end, they can be removed easily
when it is desired to take out the corn.
The roof is made of clapboards or of
common lumber. If boards are used,
they should be just long enough to
reach across the crib, and the weights
placed on them should be put on their
ends. If the boards project, they will
split in from the end to the point
where they rest on the crib. 1t is bet
ter to weight than TO nail the boards
down, since they must be turned each
year to avoid warping.
A pole pen can be made with drive

for wagon or machinery shed most of
the year. The cribs run up to the roof,
and the driveway is rooted. over into a

Advice to Farmers ON IA Subject OF Utmost

If man is shiftless and improvident,
be he farmer, mechanic or professional
man. no power under the sun can make
him prosperous or contented, or keep
him so. The reform we want all along
the line is a reform Of character. We
want men. The man who by charac-
ter, by force of mind and energy Of ac.
tion is fit to grasp circumstances and
bend them to his purpose is succeed
ing in business be he on the farm or
elsewhere. The person who is shift
less and fit only for servitude viii fail
of independence even under the splen-
did opportunities for individual effort
that American agriculture affords.
The principles of character which
make success in life possible are born
in men. The education of the home,
the school and the business world de.
velop inherited traits This fact leads
to the one practical remark that while
it Is our duty to make our homes and
school and the methods of the business
world such that character may find a
feir and open field for development,
there is higher duty. This duty is to
see, as far as possible, that our chill
dren make marriages that will promote
their own welfare and give some as.
surance that the next generation will
inherit characteristics which may
make success in life possible. -omaha q
