FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
They Are Peculiarly Adapted to Attract
the Attention of Winged Insects.

They Are Peculiarly Adapted to Attract
the Attention of Winged Insects.
AS we all know, there are day
blooming and night-blooming flowers.
The former lay themselves out for the
fertilizing visits of bees and butterflies;
they are generally decked in red, blue,
yellow and purple and have often
lines, spots or markings on their petals
which point to the hectares and so act
as honey-guides. The night-blooming
flowers, on the other hand, lay them
selves out for the visits of moths or
other crepuscular insects, and there
fore have recourse to something like
the tactics of the fire-fiies aud the
glow-worms. They are usually pure
white, and the petals are often of such
peculiar texture that they seem to
glow with internal light in the dim
shades of evening. AT times one might
almost fancy they were stained by ma
ture with some curious forerunner of
luminous paint, so strongly do they re-
fleet every invisible ray of the faint
twilight They thus succeed in catch
ing the eyes of moths, which, of
course, are specially modified for re-
ceiving and perceiving the slender
stimulus of dusk and the cleaning.
But the nocturnal flowers have no
lines or spots, because these last could
never be perceived in the gray gloom
of evening They make up for it, how
ever, by being heavily scented; indeed,
almost all the strong white flowers,
like jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, STEP
hanotis cereus, and syringa, which are
such favorites with florists, belong to
night blossoming plants, specially
adapted to attract the eyes and noses
of night-hying insects. Perhaps that
may be why the gilded youth of the
Gaiety so specially affect these luscious
white exotics, may add, in passing,
that not few nocturnal animals are
also provided with similar allurements
for their roaming mates, in the shape
of musky or other powerful perfumes

How to Store Vegetables.

Turnips, parsnips, carrots and bee is
may be stored in pits outside of the
barn or in mounds, One of the methods
that has been tried with success is to
store them in bins, using dry sand to
fill in between them. This method
permits of using them at any time,
while if they are stored in pits they
may be sealed up by the frost. The
usual mode of storing cabbages for
winter is to bury them, heads down
and roots up. A better method is to
place them close together in furrow,
roots down, then throwing the dirt on
them and adding another layer of dirt
until a compact bed of cabbages is
made. Now cover with straw or hay
and place corn stalks on the hay.
When wanted for use remove a portion
of the hay, cut off the heads desired
and leave the stalks In the spring re-
move the hay and the cabbage stalks
will produce early sprouts, or greens "
All that is necessary is to keep the
cabbages from thawing too suddenly.
If buried heads down they soon begin
to rot after the frost is gone and the
rains come in the spring.

which does not, however, contain the
litter for the nest, the bare floor being
made plain in order to convey better
understanding of the construction Of
the box, while DDDD show the en-
frances to the nests. As laying hens
will always prefer secluded place for
a nest, this arrangement will be found
excellent. The lid, when closed, pre-
vents water from reaching the nests,
and the eggs are taken out by simply
raising the lid and reaching them with
the hand. The hens can be shut out at
any time by closing the opening to the
passageway at A, and more room is
thus gained in the poultry house. The
design was originated by Mr.. j. C.
Baker, Illinois. Farm and Firesi6e.

Virginians she is of English descent,

spends good deal of time in England.
She has recently become known to

HOW TO SHOCK CORN.
There Are Many Ways But This One L
the Easiest.

There Are Many Ways But This One Is
the Easiest.
There are various ways of building a
shock, says c. f. Curtis in Rural Life,
but we have settled down to one of two
ways, depending upon the corn and
other conditions, viz: the solid shock
or the standing shock built close around
jack. The former is made by placing
the first armful fiat on the ground, the
next across it at right angles, and fol-
lowed by filling in the angles and
building up solid from the ground,
keeping as much of the fodder corn
from coming in contact with the ground
as possible The jack used in the sec
ond method is made from 2x4 scant-
ling IA feet long with two legs support
ing one end about four feet from the
ground; the other end rests on the
ground and about 81 feet from the up
per end put 4-inch fence board Z feet
long through mortised hole in the
scantling. Let the intersection the
board and the scantling be the center
of the shock and make good big solid
one and bind it tight at the top. When
the shock is finished remove the jack
by sliding the board out first and you
will then have large well-built shock
partially CHARTERED permitting the ac-
cess of sufficient air to prevent the fod-
der from spelling even if quito green.
| had some fears when began to use
this method that the jack would leave
the shock too open and cause it to
bleach and take water but it does not.
Corn may be put up in this manner as
green as it ever need be cut if not wet
with dew and it will come out in per.
| feet condition.
