HE MODERN coRN BINDER.

Its Use and the Manner of Operating II
as Described by American Agriculturist.
The great American money crop is
corn. A loss or partial failure Of sim
gle crop amounts to a calamity. Ma
chinery for preparing the ground, plant
ing the seed and cultivating the grow
ing plant has been improved upon, but
the one great drawback is the lack Of a
practical implement for husking stand
ing corn. This has not yet appeared.
However, the same object is being par
tally accomplished in a somewhat
roundabout way by means of the corn
binder and the combined husker and
fodder shredder. All corn cannot be
husked by this plan, as it necessitates
cutting, shocking and running the cured
fodder through the husker, but improved
corn binders have made this practice
more common than would have been
possible a few years ago. The greater
appreciation for corn fodder and its
wide use have created q demand for
better corn harvesting machinery.
Several firms have produced corn
binders which are on the market this
season. These operate ON practically the
same principle, differing in details of
construction. The machine is drawn by
two horses and cuts one row at time.
The stalks are cut off near the ground,
OF about IS inches above it, and carried,
standing on end, in an upright position,
to modified form of the ordinary har-
yester binder and bound in bundles,
common binding Irvine being used. The
bundles are then discharged to one side,
leaving room for the machine to pass in
cutting the next row. 1t can be adjusted
to short or tall corn and tilted up or
down IN order to pick up fallen or lean
ing stalks. The bundles are shocked
much as are wheat sheaves.
Sorghum, Kaffir corn, Milo maize
and similar forage plants have been
successfully harvested with the corn
binder. If ordinary shock corn is de-
sired, begin cutting when the blades
have begun to turn, which in central
ATTITUDES during an ordinary season is
about Sept. to 10. Place the bundles
in good sized shocks, taking care not to
make them too large if the weather is
damp and cloudy. When they have
cured sufficiently, haul TO the barnyard
and run the fodder through husker
and shredder The ears viii come cut
nicely cleaned, the leaves and stalks
torn and broken and IN excellent condi-
| tion Tor stock feed.
This material was used extensively
last season because Of q Fer hay crop
and scarcity Of eain and was highly
praised. If the crop is wanted chiefly
for the fodder, cut the corn greener, put
up in smaller shocks and when cured
run through the shredder The shredded
fodder had better be stored in the hay
NOV or a hay she'd. 1T can be stacked
cut ef doors, but the stack must be we'll
topped out with slough grass or some
material which will shed the rain. The
machine is also widely used for cutting
ensilage corn.

Renewing Oueens In Aniumn.

A correspondent writes as follows III
The Canadian Bee Journal:
| 90 around Just after the honey har-
vest is over and hunt ny all the colonies
containing old queens, or colonies that
did not winter we'll or do but little fo1
me through the season. All such queens
I kill as soou as | can after the flow,
before the drones arc all destroyed.
just let those hives start and rear cells.
About eight days after l go through and
destroy all cells where | do not wish
any queens reared. Then | go to some
hive where I killed an old queen that
had previously done well and take out
cells and distribute them in the other
hives where | had destroyed all cells.
They will all accept them, and in few
days viii have young queens and from
good stock Such queens are almost
sure to do we'll for one season, provid-
ing they are properly wintered. If
wish to change the blood in few of my
colonies, would send to some reliable
dealer and get queens and have them
ready to put right in when the other
ones were killed. My experience in su-
perseding in this way and at the above
time, is this: 1t prevents the colonies
from using up lot of stores in rearing
young bees only to die off and help to
clog up the entrance in the winter.
Where there is fall flow, it would
probably be better to have young laying
queens to replace the old ones.

Advancement of the Science of Hygiene.

The discovery of microbes and of
the work they do has naturally re
suited in the community preparing
itself for the fight with these little
enemies. The work of the boards Of
health is very different to day from
that which similar bodies performed
twenty five years ago. OF course the
fact of the contagion of disease was
known thousand years back, and
the experience of mankind was re.
Elected in such institutions as the
quarantine. Butthe efforts put forth
against eontsgion nsted with quar-
antiHe fer long time. If disease
broke out in city. as the plague
broke out in London during the reign
of Charles the Second, the physicians
were at a loss. The people had out
one safeguard-they ran away, and
thus carried the disease to other
parts of the country. 1t would be
impossible to-day for the plague to
ravage any city in the civilized world
as it ravaged London, simply because.
although we do not definitely know
what the plague vast is believed
to have been typhus fever by many
we are certain it was a disease
caused by and developing microbes,
we should fight it exactly as we fight
any contagious disease. and we
should win the same victory. 1t is
owing to the discovery of the laws Of
hygiene, and their practical appliea-
ton, that we are enabled to check
disease when it appears, TO seize it
aud say it shall not spread. The rec
ord of the work of the Board of
Health of the city of New York dur
ing the outbreak of cholera in 1892
may be fairly said to be an example
of absolute control of contagious dis
eases. While there were eleven cases
Of cholera, there was not one second
ary case. In other words. there was
not one case in which the contagion
travelled from the sick to the well.
While the cases produced the mi
crobes of the disease, these were de
stroyed as fast as they appeared /;
and, so far as that outbreak was con
eerned, the contagion of cholera was
practically annihilated This record
has never been excelled, simply be-
cause It never could be. 1t was a
perfect victory for the science of by
giene. From "The Nicrobe as a
Social LeveHer," by Dr.. Gurus Ed

The conditions for keeping potatoes
are very simple. These conditions, as
briefly stated by Country Gentleman,
are "a uniform, cool temperature in a
place that is neither too wet nor too
dry. In an ordinary cellar where the
temperature can be kept at about 40 de-
grees and where no water soaks upon
the flow, they can be stored ten feet deep
and in any quantity. If the bottom is
damp, it should be covered with Stats

NJ. Barthelemy Saint Hilaire, the
famous French scholar and politi-
clan, who recently entered on his
Goth year full of physical and in
tellectual vigor, has been telling
the intellectual interviewer how il
is his days have been so long in the
land. 1t is, we are told, the effect
of strict adherence to the old pre-
cept "early to bed and early to
rise, with steady work during wax
ing hours. Every grand old man
seems to have a secret of his own
Mr.. Gladstone, we believe, attrib-
utes his longevity to his habit OF
taking a daily walk in all weathers,
and his giving thirty-two bites to
every morsel of food. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes pinned his faith on
equability of temperance. The late
Major Knox Holmes swore by the

was the cause of his Death
DR.. P. H. Van der Weyde, an Amer
lean octogenarian, not long ago Of
fered himself "as an example OF
the benign influence of the study
and practice of music" Some aged
persons give the credit of their
long lives to abstinence from to-
bacco, alcohol, meat or what not ;
others to their indulgence in all
these things One old lady of whom
We read not long ago as having
reached the age of 100 or therea-
bout, maintained that single bless
edness is the real elixir vit@, and
she ascribed the death of her broth
er at the tender age of 80 to the
fact that he committed matrimony
in his early life. M. Ferdinand de
Lesseps believed in horse riding.
Mr.. James Payn complains that
in his boyhood he got little bored
with too much horse" The Grand
Francois seemed to think that one
can hardly have "too much horse"
In a letter recently published, NJ.
De Lesseps delivered himself on
the subject as follows: Il shall
always feel deeply grateful to Lar
inc, my riding master, who from
my earliest years made me share
his keen passion for horses, and l
am still convinced that daily horse
exercise has in a large measure
been the means of enabling me to
reach my Saith year in perfect
health" Carlyle was also a great
rider almost to the end of his long
life, he did not only ride, but we
believe, groomed his horse himself.
On the whole it must be concluded,
that the real secret of longevity is
a sound constitution prudently
husbanded. The only general rules
that can be laid down are those
set forth by Adam in Gas You Like
It."
