Ensilage Better Than Roots.

The corn crop in this country has al
ways largely taken the place OF roots for
feeding stock. Probably if England could
grow corn as the United States can its
growth OF roots for cattle and sheep iced
ing would be lessened but the fact that
roots are succulent food, while dried
cornstalks are not, has to some made it
seem necessity to grow roots for part OF
the winter ration. Ensilage removes this
necessity 1t is suoculent and has gener-
ally higher nutritive value than has
roots. The greatest OF the advantages Of
ensilage is that the cutting and filling OF
the silo is in one operation and all the
work of cutting is done by horse or steam
power. Where roots are fed there is a
daily job Of cutting and slicing them SC
that they may be safely eaten 1t is not
Job big enough to use horse or steam
power, and the daily task Of slicing roots
by hand labor soon becomes an intolera
BILE nuisance.

Keep the Shoes Dry.

Keeping the feet dry is OF quite as much
importance in summer as in winter, though
many persons do not seem to realize this.
In the heavy dews OF morning and even
ing the shoes get damp and suffer serious
ly, even though the health may not 1t
is worth while to keep a strict lookout as
to the coverings OF little feet. When they
come off at night it is well to have an old
stocking full of dry oats or beans. Put
these into the shoes. tie a string around
the stocking Just at the ankle, and set the
shoes away for the night. The grain will
not only draw out all the moisture from
the leather, but will keep the shoes in
shape without allowing them to shrink.
Rubber boots for men and boys may be
filled with beans or oats and dried out
when all other means may have failed.
There is nothing more uncomfortable
than to put on damp and soggy shoe
leather, and with forethought and precau-
ton it is entirely unnecessary.-Ltdetr

Effect of Heat and Cold OH
Bacteria.

Heat kills the bacteria, cold nu:nbs
them. When my housekeeper has pleas
ants in charge which she wishes to keep
sweet, but which threaten to give way. she
partially cooks the birds, kills the infant
bacteria, and thus postpones the evil day.
BY boiling her milk she also extends its
period OF sweetness. While in the Alps
made a few experiments on the influence
of cold upon ants. Though the sun was
strong patches of snow still maintained
themselves on the mountain slobes. The
ants were found in the warm grass and on
the warm rocks adjacent. Transferred to
the snow the rapidity of their paralysis
was surprising. In few seconds Wig
orous ant, after a few languid struggles,
would wholly lose its power of locomoton
and lie practically dead upon the snow.
Transferred to the warm rock it would
revive TO be again smitten with death-like
numbness when retTansterred to the snow.
What is true of the ant is specially true OF
our bacteria Their active life is suspen-
ded BY cold, and with it their power OF
producing or continuing putrefaction.
This is the whole phiosoph of the pre-
servation of meat by cold. The fshmon-
ger, for example, when he surrounds his
very assailabe wares by Jumps of ice,
stays the process of putrefaction by reduc-
ing to numbness and inacton the organ
isms which produce it, and in the absence
of which his fish would remain sweet and
sound IyR9d.

Light colored shoes can be cleaned by
putting one at time in a jar big enough
to hold it, the jar being nearly filed with
benzine. The jar must be shaken vigor-
ously. Gloves may be cleaned in the
same way, half dozen pairs at time
The shaking acts like scrubbing on the
gloves. Long baths of benzine will ROT
kid or leather. Dresses can be cleansed
in benzine, but it is rather unsafe to try,
and should never be done in the house
Two tubs are needed, and the benzine
must be used as literally as if it were
water. Benzine is so expensive that it is
better to use naptha, which is much
cheaper and cleans equally well. Laces

while damp, and hung in the air to dry

Naptha is exceedingly infammable

The State board of assessors have
nearly completed their series of hearings
on wild lands, which were begun last
May, and which embraced eight counties,
These hearings have been conducted
with a view to ascertaining the acreage
of these wild lands, their probable value,
and how large portion of them are
wooded. Many leading owners of these
wild lands have expressed the opinion
that these lands have in many instances
been assessed on larger valuation than
they could be sold for, and the State
assessors have had their attention called
to caaes where timber lands have been
sold since the assessment at 100 per cent.
less than the valuation. 1t has been
suggested to the assessors that they
recommend to the Legislature in their
next report that when there is a dispute
as to the value of wild land, that man
who could qualify as an expert be APP
pointed to Tx the value at figure pro-
portionate to the selling price. The
assessors think well OF the suggestion.
