POSTAGE STAMPS.

Chill is to issue new set Of unpaid
letter stamps. with Chill" at the bot
tom instead CT Valparaiso.
Ga:awak has ici"cd The postal union,
but hiss not yet issued any new stamps,
which looks ike a surprising oversight.
The .:amrs Of 1850 have been rcissued
and two values. Of - cents and one dol
lar. have been added.
In commenting upon the 1893 stamp
catalogues. philatclic writer sagcly
SAYS that Il stamp is worth just what it.
Wi. soil for. That is common sense.
bE! it wil. surprise some young col
icciors who believe that If the cuta-.
:ocmr says n certain stamp is worth
five dollars, it cannot deviate from that
figure.
An English collector has been trying
10 cnu"t the number Of living beings
illustrated on the Mulready envelope.
1lIis sCems 10 be quite a puzzle in it's
way. for The envelope shows such n
coEg:omeration Of people and animals
that il is a pretty hard matter to get
at The tota. number. The collector in
question says he has been trying To
solve the problem for some time. and, al
far as the human beings go, is Of the
opinion that there are 40 Of them. AS
to the animals, he refuses even to max {

1t was ''la belle Smidson" who, writ
ing to friend, remarked, 81 have Just
received n basket of bananas from an
acquaintance and am sendin;c :ay com
riiments in return. Some of them are

1t was Charles Kean who, speaking
"f famous murder, declared that "the
aEsassin was evidently seeking for
money. but, fortunately, the victim had
Just invested it all. and, therefore, he
lost nothing but his life"
Many RENE mbcr hearing the late Sir
Augustus Harris say that every man
anxious tC succeed should be ready to
give his last sovereign in order to save
the remainder of his fortune, and once
in n letter he wrote: business is very
quiet at present: in fact. there seems to
be nothing stirring but stagnation."
Was it not Mr.. Cecil Raleigh who re-
marked at n meeting of the Playgoers'
club that he pursued the shadow until
the bubble burst and left it's ashes in
his hand? He has also said that many
modern novels written with Il purpose
might as well have been written with a
ppnknife for all the good they would
ever do to anybody.
James Anderson. speaking of an
empty house. happened to say that the
audience was conspicuous by it's alb
sence. That phrase has now passed
into general uSe, and so have such
metaphors as "handy with the feet"
backward in coming forward" and
handed in hot water on the horns of q
dilemma"-all of which were first ut
tered by actors of more or less re-
nOwn.
Macready once remarked. in the
course Of an after-dinner address, that
he congratulated himself most upon
having torn the mask off the traitors
face and revealed his clovcn foot;
whereupon Phelps rose to second him
and warmly urged that it was high
time the odious. hyd~a-headcd faction,
of which the gentleman referred to
formed the tail. should he soundly
raped over the knuckles."
OF living actors and playwrights, per-
haps Mr.. Beerbohm Tree, Mr.. Cecil
Raleigh, Mr.. Arthus Roberts. Mr.. Pen
ley and MIR. Toole have uttered more
spontaneous mixed metaphors than
most men. Patriotic Mr.. Beerbohm
Tree is said TO have observed upon ia
nous occasion that "the British lion
will never draw in it's horns or retire
into it's shell, whether roaming the
deserts of India, exploring the mines
of Australia or scaling the mountains
of Canada"

smut In Ontn.

A cheap and simple method is to soak
the seed in water heated to about 1873
degrees f. for five or ten minutes. This
treatment is said not only to kill the
smut, but to hasten the termination OK
the oats and increase the yield to such
an extent as more than to pay for the
treatment. It is well to have two tubs,
one containing water heated to 1870 de-
grees and the other to about l40. Put
the oats in u loose sack Dip first in the
cooler water for a minute or two, let
drain for o minute, then dip in the
other tub for from five to eight minutes.
Turn and knead the sack to get the oats
all wet thoroughly. Empty the oats on
an airy floor and let dry thoroughly.
Another method is to dissolve one pound
Of sulphate of copper in bucket Of
hot water, and add enough cold water TO
dampen seven or eight bushels Of seed.
Stir thoroughly, drain and dry before
sowing. Rural New Yorker.

Tho Weld OF Corn.

The yield Of corn is dependent in no
small degree ON the quality of the seed.
The Michigan station advises that this
be selected before the corn is cut, hay
ing regard to the size and character Of
the stalk as we'll as to the ripeness and
type Of the ear. When the season is es-
peciaIly favorable for thoroughly ma
turing the ears, enough seed to last at
least two years should be gathered,
completely dried out before frost and
stored in warm, dry place. A differ
ence Of II per cent in the yield Of dry
matter on two adjacent acres was noted
in favor Of the crop grown from we'll
ripened seed over the yield from seed
grown in a wet, cold season.

A Sled Corn Gutter.

Here is q homemade implement
which, according to correspondent Of
Farm, Field and Fireside, was used
last year with great success and much
saving Of time by an Illinois farmer.
He says: This corn cutter is made by
taking two old saw blades-cross cut
saw blades are better, as the blades are
longer, but any old steel blades will
do. Grind the backs of them to razor
edge and fix them at pretty sharp an
gle to the front Of bob sled, or a sled
such as we used to haul milk on to the
cheese factory in Kansas. Set the blades
at the proper distance apart to cover
two rows Of corn at once, as shown in
the illustration. Build stanchiOn in
the middle Of the sled for two men to
lean against. Hitch the best horse on
the place to the sled, one that will start
and stop at a word.
The men stand ON each side Of the
sled and gather in the hills of corn as
the sled advances, and the knives cut

LInseed Meal, ETC,

Linseed meal is the ground residue
remaining from the fiaxseed after the
oil has been removed. The larger part
Of the flaxseed used in this country Is
grown in North and South Dakota and
in Minnesota. The seeds Of the fax
plant contain in their natural state
from 80 to S5 per cent Of oil. Twenty
to 28 per cent Of the oil Of the seed is
removed by warm pressure. This oil is
known as linseed oil, and after being
refined is used in the preparation Of
paints, varnishes, printers ink or In
the manufacture Of soap. The pressed
cake remaining is dried, cracked and
ground and furnishes the old process

Flowing and Rolling Land Thoroughly An
the Fall rs the Best Remedy


the Fall Is the Best Remedy.
In presenting helpful and timely
notes ON q few of the many insects
against which farmers may have cause
to use preventive measures the Michi.
gan station advises as follows:
The best known remedy for grasshop.
pers is fall plowing for the destruction
Of the eggs. Where this practice can be
regularly carried ON over large areas
the grasshoppers are not likely to be-
come troublesome, but there is always
some stump lot or neglected lane which
would be difficult or impossible to plow,
or else there is some farmer who will
refuse to plOw his land, and these lanes
and unplowed lots will furnish places
for the Matching Of enough lOcusts to
infest an entire neighborhood.
The eggs are laid i'll pods containing
about % or 80 eggs. These pods are
made Of muous, which is given out
with the eggs during the process of lay
ing and dries down hard, becoming
brittle and impervious to moisture. The
eggs are thus provided with waterproof
covering about three-fourths Of an inch
long and smaller in diameter than a
lead pencil. The pods are concealed in
holes in the sod in which they were
formed. These fragile little pods Of
eggs are open at the upper end, provid-
ing place for the escape Of the young
locusts. Now if the sod be plowed un-
der most Of the egg pods are turned
wrong side up, besides being buried so
deep that the young locust will never
be able to escape. Then, too, many are
broken, and moisture thus gains en-
trance and leads to the destruction Of
the eggs. II is likely also that the plow-
ing will expose many to their natural
enemies, such as birds, shrews, mice,
ETC.
A good rolling after the plowing and
dragging will pack the dirt so tight
that very few will escape. To be Of the
most value the plOwing must be gener-
al. No strips along fences, no lanes of
any size and no clearings containing
brush and stumps should be allowed to
seed the rest Of the farm.
When it is absolutely impossible to
turn the sod under in these places, re-
course may be had to another remedy.
viz, poisoned bats. Bran mixed with
paris green, using 11S to Q pounds of
the poison to % pounds Of bran, should
be stirred up with water to the consist
ency Of dough. Sometimes cheap mo-
lasses is added to make it stick together
better. This is made up into small
balls and placed about the field. The
greatest care must be observed for a
long time after using these bats that
no live stock or poultry be allowed to
gain access and if it is impossible to
completely exclude them it is best not
to use the bats.

young trees or the branch Of q tree
which is to receive the bud--has begun
to form its terminal buds, indicating
that it is ripening its growth for the
season." With the foregoing explana-
tion The National Stockman gives di-
rections for this important operation,
which are in substance as follows:
In performing the operation it ia best
to have q budding knife Gig. y, but
successful work has been done with a
good barlow. The requirements are q
thin blade, with the point little round
ing and q very keen edge. A prepared
"stiok of buds" ready for work is shown
in Fig. Q. 1t must be shoot Of the
present seasons growth. AS soon as the
scion is cut the leaves are to be remov-
cd, allowing q short piece Of the foot
stalk to remain-a third Of au inch or
so. A piece Of the point Of the shoot
two or three inches-is to be cut Off
and rejected, as several Of the younger
buds are usually too immature, and the
same with two or three inches Of the
base of the shoot, the buds on this part
being imperfeCtly developed. These
sticks Of buds are to be kept in damp
cloth until used.
The most convenient size of stock to
be budded is half an inch or 80 in di.
ameter. The best point at which to in
sert the bud in a young tree is two or
three inches above the surface Of the
ground. Trees or A years old or
more would have to be budded in the
branches. With the rounded point Of
the knife an upright incision Of an inch
or IA inches in length is made in the
bark, and at the upper end Of this in
cision a short horizontal one. This Is
illustrated by Fig. 8. An oblique in
cision, instead Of the horizontal one,
has this advantage, that the tying ma
terial will cross it instead Of dropping
into it, which it might do without
proper care. The bark 10 now to be
raised gently, beginning at the upper
end of the long incision. In doing this
the thin piece Of bone or ivory on the
lower end of the handle Of the budding
knife comes into play.
The bark being raised on each side Of
the incision, a bud is to be cut from the
prepared stick Of buds. The knife should
enter about half an inch below the bud
and come out three-quarters Of an inch
above it, taking q very thin slice Of the
wood along with the bud (see Fig ~.
The bud is now held by tho short
piece of footstalk and inserted under
the raised bark, beginning at the upper
end of the inoision and pushing it down

material to keep the fodder from spoil
ing. Make it eight or ten feet wide and
as long as is required. Make the stack
about two bundles wide, tapping these
about one-half, so that there will be
about two or three feet between the top
bundle and outside Of stack. Now fill
the middle by laying bundles length
wise in the middle. The middle does
not need to be very full--just enough
to turn the course of the water out

high as / wish and as long as required.
To top it out fill the middle just full
enough so there will be room to shock
a row of bundles on each side Of the
filling, tying the tops together with
binding twine saved at thrashing time.
This makes q good, solid top, which
will stay ON and turn rain, snow or
Rleet
This method Of sacking enables one
to drive close to the side Of the stack,
and the distance which one is required
to pitch will not be over eight or ten
feet. A load or part Of load can be
stacked; then drive ahead, thus making
easy pitching all the time. The beauty
of this kind of rick is that in feeding
out only few bundles are exposed to
the weather at any time.
The National Stockman says it mas
been found that treatment with mod.

does not injure wheat for -four, but tine
bins must not be left longer than "a
hours without airing, especially any
wheat that is intended for planting.

may be use at 1872 degrees f., or 14S
