The cut gives general idea of their
construction and interior arrangement,
as seen in simple cross-section. Usual

twelve inches of earth. A row of chutes
arranged along each side serves to I'll

are made of inch lumber, and are about
one foot square in cross-section, pro-
Jecting six to eight inches above the
roof. In the crest of the roof there are,
usually, two or more ventilators con-
structed in the manner Of the chutes.
The entrance to the cellar, especially
when constructed so as to be entered
with a wagon, is provided with double
doors separated by a hallway having

DRAINING PASTURES.
An MRnv Cases lt Can Be Made to Paw
HRndhOmalv,

Handsomely.
The impression is quite common that
II will not pay to underdrain pasture
land, says Drainage Journal. There
are pasture lands that it will not paw
TO drain, but it is also true that in many
instances IT will pay to underdrain, in
part at least, lands used for grazing
purposes. In passing through the
country we see many acres of pasture
landwhich, if sufficiently underdrained,
would be very valuable. AS they are
now they are practically worthless, af-
fording only wild and unnutritious
grasses, worth but little for grazing
purposes; in fact, such lands are dis
ease breeders of the live stock which
have the run of them. Pastures which
need underdrainage may be cared for
20 as to present good appearance to
the casual observer, but when careful
ly examined are found to grow grasses
OF little value. If they have been seed
ed TO tame grass there is such mix
ture OF water grasses with the tame
that the pasture is poor
II landowner is doubtful as to the
benefits of undertaking such land, let
him put in one or more tile drains with
good outlets and observe the result.
The wild sour grasses will disappear
and the tame grass sod will thicken and
grow luxuriantly. The live stock are
good judges. In grazing they will
keep the grass near the drains cropped
closely because it is more palatable to
the taste and more nutritious. We are
confident that the value Of thousands
of acres Of pasture lands could be
greatly enhanced If underdrained,
which are, IN their present condition,
practically worthless. Those who

Plenty of swlndlers Abroad.

The number of people who live or try
to live by their wits seems to have in
creased rapidly of late. Never have
swindlers of all kinds been more in eyi-
dence both in city and in country. In
single week no less than four schemes
to defraud farmers have come to our
notice. They are all variations of the
venerable swindles which have been ex-
posed so often in the press. One cor
respondent intimates that hypnotism is
being used to bunko farmers in his To-
cality. This is probably only the hyp-
notism of smooth tongue on the part
Of the "agent" and careless business

SALT AS A MANURE.

ment OF agricultural plants. Salt may
have some indirect effect because of in
duced chemical changes in the upper
stratum Of the arabic soil, and in some
cases by physical changes when applied
to stiff clays.
For many crops, as potatoes, tobacco,
beets, melons, etc., salt is injurious; in
some cases a light application of salt
may be beneficial, as for onions, cab
bage, celery and possibly tomatoes.
Upon stiff clay lands, salt at the rate
OF 200 to 600 pounds broadcast some
weeks before the sowing of small grain,
or the planting of corn, has apparently
improved the mechanical condition of
the soil and has probably added to the
yield of grain. Upon land upon which
wheat had usually made an overgrowth
of straw, with a tendency to straw
fall before ripening grain, the writer
has obtained a somewhat shorter but
much sitter growth Of straw standing
up well till the fully matured crop was
harvested, by applying 300 pounds per
acre Of pork house refuse salt broadcast
upon the land in January.
Little or much, it is not advisable to
apply salt to ANIMALS at the time of
seeding and it should be used cautious
ly, If at all, during growth and culti-
vatiOn. A moderate dressing, 200
pounds per acre on meadow or pasture,
very early in spring, or better during
the last winter month, has upon sew
eral occasions given apparently good
results; but these were not sufficiently
marked to induce further experiments.

A method of painting farm buildings

serving of wider application as to war

two parts, both cheap materials, being

A fiat paint brush about four inches
wide is the best implement to use with
this mixture. Lay it on exactly as with
OIL paint. It can be applied to wood
work, old or new, and to brick and

Hughes stands charged with official cor

port OF the last grand jury. Official crimes
of malfeasance are alleged, and the whole
business is likely TO create storm in Con-

allegations are met in the local courts.
Among those implicated are Territorial
Auditor Leitch and Myron II. McCord. an
ex-Congressman from Wisconsin. These
three constitute the Territorial Board of
Control, the two associates being appointed
by the Governor. The grand jury report al
leges rnisappropriation of territorial funds.
No indictment was returned on the ground
that the district attorney thought that such
action would not be eXpedient. 1t is also
reported that, on account of the revelations,
the Governor is TO be removed and his
course be formally investigated by order of
the President. Inspectors Oliver and Dun

OF the Cuban insurgents, and to-day en-
deavored TO secure the consideration OF a

The resolution recites that 1.-The Cuban pa
triots. moved by the instincts of liberty
and chatting under the oppressive rule of
Spain, have for the greater part of year
waged heroic and successful war against
that government" and that the abuses of
nearly four centuries under which that
brave people have suffered appeal In a
special manner 10 the United States as the
chief exponent of popular government IN
the world; that "a further continuance
OF the struggle between the contendins
parties can only result in needless loss o.
life and destruction OF property, as well "a.
the multiplication and prolongation OF
shocking and barbaric cruelties;" that "our
commercial interests with Cuba have a.
ready been greatly impaired. and are Liable
10 be wholly destroyed" and that I'VE as
a nation are under no obligations, either
upon the basis of treaty rights or the rules
or national comfy, TO longer withhold our
recognition Of the Cuban belligerency." In
conclusion the resolution requests the
