A Graceful Act.

The Ravenswood News perform
ed graceful act in bringing out
its issue of August 18th, on yellow
paper, which, with the black ink,
formed the colors of the Christian
Endeavorers. An editorial, we'll
expressed, extends a welcome to
the visitors to Ravenswood on the
occasion of the Endeavor reunion
there, and the whole paper indi-
Gates an interest in that noble
cause which must be no less graft
flying to the members of that body
than to those affiliated in sympathy
with it, although not actual mem
bers. Personally we desire to con-
graduate Bro. McGlothlin on the
production of 50 harmonious and
interesting a paper.

FRUIT STORAGE CELLAR.

A System That Protects AlninEt Freezing
and Gives Perfect Ventilation.
The building can be made any size or
form desired, provided you secure pro-
lection against freezing and perfect ven
tilation. In localities where the winter
temperature is apt to fall to 30 degrees
below zero such building must be very
carefully constructed. A New York cor
respondent of American Gardening
thinks that the following plans would
answer the purpose:
The foundation should be of stone, 2
feet thick. Set . by A joists, 10 feet
high for one story 2 feet apart upon the
foundation walls. Line up each side Of
the joists with good matched boards and
paper the same with building paper
This will leave an air chamber inches
wide in the center Of the wall On each
side Of this nail by plank and cover
it with siding ON the outside, bat with
matched boards on the inside, filling the
inch space with sawdust slightly
packed. For the roof use 9 by 10 planl;
ceiled on both sides and the space filled
with sawdust. The outside of the roof
must be covered with waterproof roof
ing. There should be two doors, one to
open inward and the other outward,

Culture of GlotinIas.

Mr.. Hogan, writing in Gardening,
says on the culture of gloxinias;
plant the dry bulbs in mixture Of
dry sphagnum moss, chopped fine and
mixed with sand, so that when the
bulbs mako roots they can be lifted ont
of the moss without breaking the roots
As soon as good start is made and two
or three leaves show they are potted in
light soil composed of one part good pot
ting soil and one part leaf mold and sand
mixed together. We are very careful
about the watering When tho bulbs
are in the moss, they are given plenty
of water, being careful to sprinkle any
dry spots on the moss They are kept in
% temperature of Go to 20 degrees at
night, with 10 to Is degrees more in the
daytime. We consider it essential not
TO wet the leaves, and we give shade as
soon as the sun gets SO hot there is
danger Of burning.

A bulletin has been issued from the
agricultural department ON the disease
of the Easter lily, which destroys in this
country from 20 to so per cent of the
entire crop, exclusive of the bulbs
which fail to grow or that make worth
less plants, the loss from which ranges
from to even 80 per cent The disease
is characterized by spotting and distor-
ton of the leaves and flowers, and usu-
ally the stunning of the plants.
The principal causes assigned are
WORKOUT soil, premature removal of
flowers and flower stems, premature
harvesting of bulbs, carelessness in Sc
lection of propagating stock, bad treat
ment during tho forcing and the depre.
dation of insects, Asramedies it is sug-
gested that only strong and vigorous
plants be used for propagation, crop ro-
tation should bepracticed, chemical fer
tilizers used and premature digging
avoided

ON THE FARM

surprise to me, but called to mind thar
there had been no rain from the time
they were heading until they were
thrashed. In years of abundance of rain
during growth and ripeniug l think
there would be less gain.
1t is the general opinion that corn
shrinks more from time of huslSing in
the fall up to May than any other farm
product, many farmers say from 10 to
20 per cent. In the fall of 1895 | com.
menced my experiments to test the
shrinkage. l filed large sack full of
ear corn the 9th of November. 1896.
the day it was husked. A card was sew
ed ON the sack giving date of weighing
and weight, which was l58% pounds.
l reweighed it April 1, 1896, making
nearly five months, and il weighed 154
pounds, showing one-half pound gain in
the five months. The fall was n remark
ably dry fall and early varieties of corn
were fully matured and dry, especially
the small cob varieties, and this corn
was of that kind. Large ear corn, and
especially large cob varieties, during u
wet fall will shrink from 8 to per
cent. This has been my experience by
weighing.

at This Time of Year.

Gull and weed out carefully all your
flocks and herds. Separate the stock
animals from those you will fattcn for
market. Sell of for what you can get
every runt, weak or detective animal
and those that seem unthrifty. 1t costs
to winter poor quality of animal, and
it does not pay to waste good food in
fattening such Whether hogs, sheep,
cattle or poultry, weed out and dispose
of the deadheads.
If you have wethers that you wish to
market early, shear them at the begin.
ming of October. BY the timo they are
fat they will have half grown feeces.
and they will look well. Besides that
the shearing will free them from ticks
if they are so unfortunate as to have
any. 1t is torture to sheep to be penned
up and dovoured by ticks Professor
Craig says that u lamb which has been
sheared makes more rapid gain than
ono unshorn. After the fleece of the
shorn lamb is an inch long, however,
the lamb gains flesh no faster than one
not sheared. 1t is for the ones that are
to be sold in month or two that the
October shearing is recommended.

tough old toms and hens must be classed
with the latter and go for less than they
are worth. Too many send nothing but
flair to poor" stock to market. In
many cases it is simply because they do
not know how to prepare it so it will
bring all that can be got for it.
Successful Rhode Island growers as a
rule feed their turkeys from start to
finish on northern white flint corn,
which they grow themselves They take
great pains to usc nothing but well sea-
soned old corn, because they have found
that new corn causes bowel trouble
which is more to be feared in turkey
than any other fowl and is liable to DO
fatal. Diarrhea seems to be moro prev
alont among turkeys than any other
disease, and bird that gets sick is apt
to die. Foraging in field of green oats
may give them diarrhea and much loss.
Turkeys not only like northern flint
corn best and fatten best ON it, but it
makes their flesh moro tender juicy
and delicious. That given the little ones
is coarsely ground and mixed with sweet
or sour milk or made into bread that is
moistencd with milk. This is gradually
mixed with cracked corn, which, when
they arc about s weeks old, is fed clear
or mixed with sour milk. In the fall
whole corn is given.
Turkeys which can be given full lib.
erty from the first on u dry pasture lot
and after few weeks allowed to roam
and roost wherever they choose thrive
the best if they escape accident or enc
mics Two turkey hen mothers and their
broods will then generally join forces,
apparently for mutual protection from
hawks and other enemies. Where they
cannot be given full liberty they should
be given fresh grass pasturago daily and
milk curd, corn gluten and wheat, as
well as corn, to take the place of in
sects. Great pains should be taken that
they are not overfed and that they are
given as much liberty for exercise as is
possible. The brood may be prevented
from leaving certain field by shingling
the mother turkey so she cannot fly over
the wall or fence This, however, places
her at the mercy Of dogs
After June those at full liberty are
fed but twice daily.
Resorts like Newport use hundreds of
partly grown turkeys in July and Au-
gust. From 81. 10 to 81. 25 is given for
those weighing from IL to pounds
each. They are sold to dealers who sup
ply clubs, hotels and wealthy private
families These small turkeys are very
lean and tender, and soon spoil or be-
come discolored even if placed ON ice;
therefore only nearby raisers can han
die this trade.
If there is much risk or loss from dis
ease before the turkeys can be matured,
or if the number grown is 80 great as to
overstock the place, it may be advisa-
BILE to turn them off at this age.
Possibly there are many other Sec
tions where small turkeys can be profit
ably marketed in this way. If your
chickens, ducks and geese can be sold
at greater profit for more money when
partly grown than if kept until much
larger and fed twice or three times as
long, there may be possibilities for the
enterprising turkey raiser in this direc-
ton. Samuel Cushman in Farm Poul-

variety is buried by itself, aside from
the risk of freezing. If record is

first kind was pitted, any bin can be
taken out without interfering with the
adjoining one, and the partitions can be
