penses OF the government. Ii IL does

and il il does SO il will be a worse

STORAGE OF GRAIN.
Care Must he Taken ia Insure Its
Keeping I'm Good Condition.

On the average farm il is nearly al
ways necessary to store more or less
grain. Oats for seed and feeding, wheat
for seed and exchange al the mill for
-four, as well as to market. Wheat is
a cash crop and can be turned into
money at any time; il is often as good
plan TO store the wheat in the granary
and sell as the money is needed as to sell
direct from the machine, when the
threshing is done, and then put the
money in the bank.
But ii is essential when grain of any
kind is to be stored away that pains be
taken 10 store in such a way as will in
sure its keeping in a good condition.
This granary should be clean. well-ven-
tilated and as nearly yermin-proof as
possible. A separate building will gen
orally supply these conditions more
fully than any other.
If new granary is to be built. the
work should Zoe done in good season, so
as to be sure to have il ready when the
threshing is done. as there is always
more or less loss every time that smaf1
grain is handled. and it is quite an item
to handle il as little as possible.
The granary should be built with the
floor well up from the ground, set on
pillars; put inverted pans or sheets of
iron over each post TO keep out rats and
mice; have a good, solid floor and be
sure that it is tight. Have good ventila-
ton at the top. The size must, of
course, depend on the quantity of grain
to be stored. but it is best TO have plen-
~ of room, so that in case il is necessary
to store damp grain there will be room
to stir il about.
With an old granary thorough clean.
Ing out should be given, and il will be
better il the inside is thoroughly white
washed, using good lime wash into
which small quantity Of carbolic acid
or copperas has been stirred.
Ii is hardly good economy to start a
crop in such way or under such con-
ditions that it will not be reasonably
sure of keeping in good condition.
There is always some loss in storing
grain; it is quite an item to make this
as small as possible.-St. Louis Repub-

UNLOADING FODDER MADE EASY


acting in the capacity of a binding pole.
To unload, fasten the ropes to a beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. The
first time may not always prove sue
cessful, but with a little practice the
wagon may be unloaded in few min
utes.
The ropes should be so laid that they
will not catch TO anything. The fod-
der must be placed evenly on either
side and the distance apart of the ropes
is TO be determined by practice. In un-
loading. if the fodder is heavy, the front
end of the rack must be tied 10 the wag-
on or the hind end placed almost d.
rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable TO tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes TO the
beam or post. do it high enough 10 pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length.
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down on one or theother while
unloading, he finds il necessary. The
team must be driven slowly. II is best
to practice few times on quite small
loads and notice the effect upon diff
ferent ways of loading and the place the
fodder is to drop. by loosening or tight
ening the rope.-Farm and Home.

the Profit VIII Increase Revenue of
Trusts, Not the Govcrnm-nt's.
CHICAGO, July %. "A canvass made Of
prominent manufacturers and iobbers
in commodities affected by the new
tariff law indicates that the burden of
the Dingley tax upon the consumer
will take the usual course prescribed
by the law of supply and demand.
IL seems probable that the fed.
eral exchequer will not be glutted
with revenue until the accumulated
stocks OF the country. many of which
Will last from six To twelve months. or
even longer. shall have been exhausted.
Meantime the trusts are at liberty to
sell their goods at a protected rate
while Uncle sam watches the reserve
stocks dwindle. In support OF this
theory the Sugar trust ordered an ad-
vance Of from one to three-eights of a
cent in sugar. This advance will be
shifted onto the consumer by retailers
before the latter are compelled To- lay
in new supplies.

In cutting ensilage or fodder. little
work transferred from hand TO horse
power often goes great way to lessen
expense. A simple method Is shown be-
low of unloading fodder or hay. Two
ropes about so feet long, depending on
the length of the rack and height OF
load TO be drawn. are used. Ole end OF
each being fastened to the hind axle OF
the wagon. They are then passed rack
and over the top of the rack between
the two outside boards on either side.
While loading, the ropes may be
brought back under the outside of the
rack and fastened almost any place
on the rear part. When the load is com
pleted the ropes are drawn over the
fodder and tied TO the back of the rack.

minated at lib o'clock this morning,
when, at the foreclosure sale of the
mortgage held by the United States, the
road was purchased by the committee of
capitalists formed for its reorganization.
The full amount accruing to the United
States from the sale cannot be given
exactly, but it is estimated to be S5S, ,0G5,-
1IS,40. 1t was impossible to determine
the full amount at the time of sale for
the reason that the monthly statement
made by the secretary of the treasury
TO the management of the Union Pacific
on the lst of every month was not avail
able today, and it was found necessary
to estimate some items, although it is
admitted by both sides that the estimates
are approximately correct.
