ahead and then the other, bend the corn
before it is cut off and let it fall on the
knee. Keep the butts off the knife, and
it will be easier work than with corn

much. Tie the saddles by taking the

spreading the butts in circle about
three feet across, and twisting the tor

Fall Flowing.

In the rotation of crops we find spe-
Cies of rest for the ground. 1t is certain,
too, that no two sorts of grain draw ex-
actly on the same chemical constituents
in the soil. This gives the lungs of the
farm, if we may so speak, an opportu-
nifty for the coming year to fill again
with the necessary breath. Nature, how
ever, is very much assisted by fallow
plowing, says the Iowa Homestead,
which advises its being done as early as
possible for several reasons, among
which are First, the stubble turned
under is a good manure and Of that
character which aerates the soil; Sec
ond, there comes up dense aftermath
from the scattered grain which, unless
pastured, makes a good mulch third
fall plowing saves a good deal of work
in the spring, when the farmer is hur
ried, as a rule. Then corn in many 10
calities does the best on fall plowing.

Yorker, show plans for framing such a
barn, which may be modified according
to size or other circumstances.
Fig. shows the plan of a frame, the
end bents being made in the usual way
with braces and cross girth. The inter
mediate bents are made in sections, each
one reaching from the outside to the
purlin post which rests upon the cross
sill. The bracing is done, as shown in
Fig, Q, by bolting l d by inch spruce
strips on each side of the posts, the bolts
passing through the posts and through
the braces on each side. By this means
the frame is made exceedingly strong
and stiff, for there is no weakening of
timhers by mortises, and at the same
time hay forks and slings have perfect
freedom to work the whole length of
the barn, and there are no timbers on
which a NOW can get hung"
The same plan is applicable to a
dairy barn, for the stables are usually
placed on the ground floor, and a drive

Consuis Under Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The presi-
dent, by an executive order, has ex-
tended the civil service system in a
modified form to all consular officers
whose compensation directly and
through fees range from $1,000 to
$2,50O This will include about one
half of the total number of consuls
who receive more than $1,000. This
change has been gained by reviving in
substance an old order Of 1878. Vacan-
cies in the service will be filed here
after by transfer or promotion, by ap-
pointment Of qualified persons formerly
in the employ of the state department
and by appointment of persons selected
by the president after passing q nom
competitive examination.

Much has been written and many
questions have been asked of late in re-
gard to this so called honey dew. 1 fail
to see any reason or cause why it ever
was or should be called by the name
honey dew. Thus writes Utah cor
respondent of The American Bee Jour
nal, who does not believe in the idea
sometimes advanced that it falls as a
deW from the heavens. He says:
In regard to the question as to what
honey dew is made Of l presume the
cause that produces it is pretty much
the same in all localities, If SO, it
should be called "bug juice" 1t is pro-
duced here by very small insects, gen
orally known as the aphis family. The
grade can be defined to some extent by
the particular kind of aphis that secretes
it. There are several species Of green
and light colored aphides that produce
a compound which when mixed with a
better grade Of honey can be passed as
honey. There are the brown, black and
other aphidcs whose secretions can hard
ly be called honey. The very best grade
| of it is not first class honey have not
noticed the bees working on it more
than once in several years, and as the
bees always gather the best it is proof
that they find something better than the
so called honey dew.
The insects suck the sap from the
leaf, and as it passes over the leaf por'
tion of this honey dew is left sticking
ON the leaf If we place them under 9
microscope, we find that their bodies are
largely composed Of this honey dew.

In view of Rev. Won Herrlich's

his election. They believe that one who

succeed admirably if placed over the en-

The house of bishops usually choose

be best conserved by the election to this

1t Ia Not as Bad as Many suppOse-A
Few Errors Corrected.
great deal of confusion exists in the
minds of many sportsmen regarding the
provisions of the fish law passed by the
last legislature, and numerous conflicting
stories are heard as to what anglers may
and may not do at this season Of the
year.
Many have said that no fish less than
eight inches in length can be lawfully
caught That isn't true. It doesn't say
a word about the length of any fish ex-
cept black bass. They must not be caught
less than that length any time, and must
not be caught at all between May Is and
August l. It has been published that
the closed season for bass begins April l.,
but the law says May 10. The principal
provision is that which forbids the use
of any fsh-catching device except the
hook and line. Some think that this in
cludes set lines, which isn't true. Fisher
men may use set and trout lines for cat
fish all they please, the same as before.
Read the law and then no mistake need
be made.

Dog Banks at BOys-Boys Throw at Dog
Boys Arrested and Fined.
Willie Davis and Bonnie Robinson, boys
fifteen years old, were walking east on
Sixth street last evening, when they came
to a carriage hitched in front of house.
There was a dog under the carriage, one
of those restless, i'll natured little dogs
fond of making show at bravery, and
he barked at the boys. The boys stopped
and began throwing things at the dog.
They hit the carriage oftener than they
did the dog and scratched off some paint
and varnish every time. The dog snarled
furiously and barked itself nearly
into spasms when Officer Brussman came
along and told the boys to stop. They
jeered at him and defied him. Taking
into consideration the damage done to
the rig, in addition to the insult to Off
ciaI dignity, the boys were arrested and
today Judge Furry fined them So each.
The dog, which is of the pestiferous,
barking kind, was not punished
