There are in the paper nearly sixty columns

Briefly. Secretary Cages plan for cur
rsncy reform is in the nature OF a step
rather than a stride. Il proposes 70 in.
crease reserve by turning over legal tenders
to IL and TO increase the bank circulation.
The first change he recommends TO be
brought about directly by adding s25, 600.
900 In gold to the gold reserve. making
the total reserve annually In gold, sl26, .
0OG0O0. Then ne would lock up 500. 600,
600 OF the s346, ooa. OO0 greenbacks along
with the si25, 0oO 600 OF gold and none of
these should thereafter be disburssd except
in exchange for gold.
OF course. tho withdrawal OF so large a
part Of the qreenback circulation could
but create IA strinRency, even though the
purpose is TO reserve and not to destroy the
greenbacks To overcome this, Secretary
Gage would increase the national bank
circulation in sundry ways as follows:
Ahob bSi"lV tHo ofRhulLutlou VI
national banks with a minimum capital
of $50. 600 in any place Of q population Of
1000 or less, instead Of $50, 600. as under
the present universal law. This would
tend, Of course, to permit banking facili-
ties In localities where now none exist.
Second, reduce the rate of taxation on
bank notes secured by bond deposit to one
half Of one per cent
Then. permit banks to issue circulation
TO the par value of their deposited bonds
and also to deposit as security in the
United States treasury, greenbacks treas
ury notes or silver certificates against
which tho comptroller shall
Issue more bank notes. And besides
this issue, the proposition further ad-
vises All additional issue OF bank notes
amounting to 20 per cent OF such de-
posits, which shall not be secured, except
Indirectly by the assets of the bank, but
shall b. insured to tho government which
guarantees the issue, by two per cent.
tax annually-the government being fur
ther protected in its guaranty by first
lien on the assets in case of failure Of the
issuing bank. The issue of national bank
notes, as proposed. is {, be restricted 20
tho denomination OF $40 and upward
In connection with this plan the secre-
tary proposes TO refund the government
bonded debt with bonds payable in gold
at the rate OF l-2 per cent. ger apnum
There Is nothing radical about this
plan. Indeed, it seems to be a highly
acceptable compromise between the
strongly conflicting interests that demand
on the one hand. the permanent retire
ment Of government currency and the
substitution of bank currency and, on the
other h1n5, just the reverse OF this. 1t
provides partly for the extension uf tie life
OF the national bank issues which are now
based on government bonds shortly to
expire. 1t arrsDges for the extension of
banking facilities to the less populous
districts. And it proposes to overcom, the
ambiguity of the word "coin" In tho
government bond by substituting in the
refunding bonds tho explicit gold coin "
Better bonds, greater liberality and lesser
cost Of bank issue anu the reduci ng of the
factor Of possible harm from the green
back by corrallipg good many OF them
as we'll ms by increasing the gold redemu-
tion fund, are the essential features OF
this conservative plan.

ON THE FARM

see the self binder, the thrasher and tho
plow all running at once in the same
field and at the same time teams haul
ing loads of wheat direct from thrasher
to mill or market, and this is very com.
monty done where the grain crop is
grown on large scale. But on many
farms storage Of grain is quite common.
and it needs to receive attention in or.
der that loss may be prevented, and in
this connection the Iowa Homestead
gives the following advice: If the bins
or granaries have been used baforc, they
should be made thoroughly clean pre-
paratory to filling them. 1t is especially
important to see that they contain no
insect pests that prey upon stored grain
There are several species of weevil
which infest granaries, rs well as the
fly moth, which not only attacks the
grain in store, but occasionally deposits
its eggs on the grain i'll the field A
few of these often survive, and the pest
is thus introduced into even clean quar-.
tiers In this way, and while there are
but two annual broods normally, after
the grain is stored in warm place
there are often considerably more than
two broods, and the increase is very
rapid. Besides the ordinary methods of
cleaning granaries, it is good idea to
close them up tight and evaporate car
bon bisulphide in them, which will de-
stroy all insect life that may remain in
them.
Another class of vermin to be guard
ed against is rats and mice, and special
precautions to this end should be taken
in constructing the place of storage. 1t
| is much better to have it at some little
distance from other buildings, raised
| from the ground on posts, the tops OF
| the posts being covered with inverted
pans made Of galvanized sheet iron in
order to prevent the rats climbing in.
Doors should close quite tight and any
| openings that are left for ventilation
should be covered with fine gauze to
| keep out the weevil insect and the moth,
| 1t is worth while to pay good deal OF
| attention to the details of storage, for il
is always attended with some waste
and the waste may be easily large il
done carelessly.
After the grain has been stored il
should be examined occasionally in or
der to see whether it is being attacked
by any destructive insect which ma!
have gained access to the granary il
spite of the precautions taken. If an.
of these pests are found, an immediate
application of bisulphide of carbon i
the proper remedy Never use this rem
edy, however, without remembering
the infammability of its gases. No ar
tificial light or fire of any kind shoul,
be permitted where it is being used
and its fumes, if inhaled, are quite poi
sUnous

After due observation and experiment
conclusions arrived at concerning graft
ing of the apple ut the Kansas station
are:
First, that whole root grated apple
trees are of no greater value to the buy
er than trees grated ON piece roots OF
8, 4 or 2ls inches in length; second,
that grating above the crown Of the
Seeding stock secures in tree no val
liable quality which is not secured by
grating below the crown; third, that
the use Of whole roots or long pieces
may offer some slight advantages to thu
nurseryman, but that these will not
compensate for the extra labor and ex.
pense; fourth. that the greatest uni.
formity in growth is secured by use Of
gratis that secure an early roofing Of
the scion above the union.
