Capacity of Corn Crih.-It is safe
rule. in estimating the size OF crib,
to allow two cubic feet for each bushel
of corn. By bushel, mean 70 pounds
of ear corn, which is equivalent to Sc
pounds OF shelled. The rule in Ohio
is to allow IA pounds for cob in the
fall, and II pounds in the spring after
the corn has been dried out perfectly
Two cribs 80 feet long, feet wide and
10 feet high, will by this rule hold 1900
bushels. Ten feet is too high to throw
corn easily with a scoop shovel. but
there can be two openings for each
crib extending down to within or .
feet Of the floor, and when the crib is
full to the bottom of these. short
boards can be placed across them as
the crib is filed. and most of the fill
ing can be done with ease. When the
cribs must be filled to the top, boy
or man can throw corn back TO the
ends and fill it, so as to utilize all the
space.-EX.

oyster Shell and San Jose Scale.

UrDdna, III.
One of the incidental results of the
recent publication of the occurrence OF
the San Jose scale in Illinois has been
large number of letters TO this office
from apprehensive fruit growers, ac-
companied by samples OF scale insects
for determination. l do not wish to
discourage this correspondence, which
has already brought to my knowledge
three infested localities in this state
additional to those which my inspect
ors have found; but as nearly all the
specimens sent ME have belonged to
one or the other of the two commonest
orchard species, it seems worth while
to point out very easy means of dis
tnguishing at this time of the year
these common scales from the new pest.
The San Jose scale pronounced San

San Jose species, with which, as will be
seen, they need never be confounded

State Agricultural Experiment station
here. SiXty-four orchards and nurser-
les liable to have become infested by
importation Of nursery stock from cut
side points have thus far been in

Pruning Grapes.

Having had over thirty years expe-
rience in the management of the vine,
l have reached a method of pruning
and training that yields results both
in quality and quantity of fruit far in
advance of the ordinary results OBJ
tanned, and yet simple and easily put
in exact practice. The following is
brief outline of my method: The vines
should be set eight feet apart in the
rows and the rows eight feet apart.
The first year only single cane should
be allowed to grow from each vine and
trained to stakes three or four feet
high. The second year trellis should
be put up, with posts set sixteen feet
apart and standing five or five and a
half feet above the ground. The posts
at each end of the rows should be set
four feet outside the vines. On these
posts stretch three wires-the first two
feet above the ground. the second fif-
teen inches higher. and the third at
the top OF the posts. Cut the canes down
to two buds, from which raise two
canes for next years bearing. These
should be trained up to the top wire.
Rub of the suckers as they appear up
to the top wire. turn the canes in OPP
posite directions on the top wire and
pinch them off near the meeting point
of the cane from the other vine. The
vines should not be allowed to pass
each other. The suckers should be al
lowed to grow on the part of the vine
on the top wire, foot and half or
two beet long, where they may be
again pinched off, These canes should
be cut off in the winter or early spring
at the top wire and trained in opposite
directions, in a hoop-like form, over
the middle wire and down TO the first,
and there tied. When the buds put out
branches the two lowest should be Sc
lected as canes for the next years bear
ing and trained to the top wire and
treated as previously directed. When
the branches on the bearing canes have
advanced beyond the last bloom they
should be pinched off at or not more
than one leaf beyond, the last bloom.
The bloom begins to appear opposite
the second or third leaf and one oppo-

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
The EskimOs Defy All Laws of Hygiene
and Thrive.

and Thrive.
Much is said about American dyspep-
sia but there is one native race of
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse, says
Popular Science News. The sturdy
little Eskimos defy all the laws OF
hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
like the ordinary dweller in America,
eats until he is satisfied, but there is
this difference, that he never is salts
fed while shred of the feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity is limited
by the supply, and by that only. He
cannot make any mistake about the
manner of cooking his food, for as a
rule he does not cook it, nor so far as
the blubber or fat of the arctic animal
is concerned, about his method of eat
ing it, for he simply does not eat it.;
he cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick, and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower rope into a we'll. And after
that he does not suffer from indiges-
ton. He can make meal Off the flesh
and skin of the walrus, provision so
hard and gritty that in cutting up the
animal the knife must be continually
sharpened. The teeth of little Eski-
mo child will meet in bit of walrus
skin as the teeth of an American child
would meet in the flesh of an apple.
And that when the hide of the walrus
is from one-half to one and one-half
inches in thickness and bears consid-
cradle resemblance to the skin of an
elephant. The Eskimo child will bite
it and digest it, too, and never know
what dyspepsia means.

Grounds for SuspiciOn.

A worthy vicar in rural parish who
had waxed eloquent in the interest of
foreign missions one Sunday was
surprised on entering the village shop
during the week to be greeted with
marked GOODNESS by the old dame who
kept it. On asking the cause the old
woman produced half-crown from
a drawer. and, throwing 1t down before
him, said: II marked that coin and
put it in the plate last Sunday, and

bloom there will be no more blooms
ON that branch. That is guide to
pinch 1t off, and the sooner 1t is
pinched off after 1t reaches that point
the better. AS the branches do not all
appear at the same time, they should
be gone over several times, until all
have been pinched. and every branch

Feed DEMONSTRATING is like keep
ing up a ire. Insufficient fuel is simply
waste, for one may burn up the whole
wood-pile, or all the coal in the eel
lar, and never get warm; but, with
the good fire, one is warmed and cheer
ed, and gets the good Of the fuel. So
one may keep the flock just alive, and
never get enc cents worth of good
out of the whole winters feeding. The
liberal soul is made fat, We are told,
but the other kind of man is skin and
bone and his pocket is empty, espe-
cially il he be a shepherd. OF course
1t should go without saying, that as
four-fifths Of the food is consumed in
keeping an animal warm, good shelter
is equivalent to so much food. Thus
the old adage is justified. that pine
board is the best of feeding.-Ex.
