ALL AROUND THE FARM.

It should not be necessary to state
that feed imparts flavor to meats.
Good meat cannot be made from bad
feed.
Confne the pruning of gooseberries
principally to thinning out main
branches and cutting out weak and
exhausted parts.
Plants will starve in any soil, how
ever fertile, unless water is present to
dissolve the food elements and pre-
pare them for the plants use.
We almost murder our lands by pas
turing them too closely. How many
pastures there are that are about as
smooth and as even as skating rink
floor.
The first business of every young
farmer should be to secure a spot
upon which he can stand and proclaim
to the world that these acres more or
less broad are his.
AS much care should be taken to
keep water away from well-con-
structed road as is taken to keep il
out of the cellars of houses or from
leaking through the roof.
The present system of paying high
way taxes, figuratively designated as
working them out" is admittedly
bad and can be easily remedied, but
an attempt to make change in this
direction would undoubtedly meet
with position.-Western Plowman.

BUILDING A CISTERN.
Should in No Circumstances
BE Employed.

When making cistern the same
rules as to doing the work in the best
possible manner apply as when build
ing a house. If expenditure cannot be
afforded to make large reservoir,
without cheapening the work, make
it small and perfect. There are, of
course, some methods of construction
cheaper than others, and the cheaper
as good as the more expensive, so far
as utility is concerned, the extra out
lay being for surface appearance.
There may be cases where they have
stood well made in this way, but it is
risky. Build up good brick walls, well
cemented, and use stone cap and
then you have certainty. When the
size for the cistern has been deter
mined upon, take u stick-a strip of
board--and bore two holes through
it as far apart.as half the circumfer-
ence of the place to be dug, then
through these holes drive pins few
inches long, and use this as sweep
for marking the circle upon the sur
face. Dig down, making the sides as
smooth and true as possible. If the
cistern is to be jug shaped, begin to
draw in when half the desired depth
has been reached. A fiat stone should
be put in the bottom, If convenient to
do so, with basin dug out of the cen
ter; then the brick wall, commenced
at the margin of the basin. Do not use
soft bricks. Sooner or later they will
slack down from moisture absorbed
from the soil, and make the cement on
the water surface insecure. Use arch
brick, at least those that are made
from good clay and well baked. One
can readily tell by the looks or testing
with hammer whether fit for use in a
cistern or not. After laying the bricks
in good cement, the wall should be
coated with plaster, made as follows:
Clear, sharp sand, well screened, two
parts, and water, cement, one part

Business Pay.

At an Indiana convention some years
ago L. II. jackson said; II have made
wintering Of bees a special study,
knowing that unless we can be more
successful in wintering we can never
make beekeeping profitable BUSH
ness. Several things are essential to
safe wintering, and preparations
should begin early in the season. One
of the most essential things is plenty
Of good honey as free from pollen as
possible. Honey contains sugar in
two forms, cane and grape sugar.
Cane sugar is the most easily digested.
Clover honey contains more cane
sugar than the fall honey, and should
be used for winter store. / always
have frames in the upper story filled
with clover honey for winter, These
frames are set away until pack my

winter should be made by the last of
October. Bees should always be kept
perfectly dry. Ice should never be
found inside the hive. Bees should be

ly all the spring dwindling is caused
by too early brood rearing. AT least
two old bees are lost for every young

fer wintering in a single wall hive on
the summer stands. / know that
large majority of the beekeepers diff
fer with me in this. Experience has
taught me that there is more danger
in bees becoming too warm than there
is from cold. When the hive becomes
too warm the bees become uneasy
and consume large amount of honey,
start brood rearing, and unless they
can have good fly in few days dys.
EMERY will follow. Cellar wintering
has never been success, neither has
double wall chaff hives. If the hive
is kept dry and well ventilated bees in
a single wall hive will stand any cold
we ever have in Indiana, and there
will be but little brood raised before

90 feet long with cribs eight feet wide
and ~ feet high. In building this, one
should use six by eight timber for stills
and two by eight joist.
The floor is made of two by three,
laid one-half inch apart so as to admit
the free circulation of air among the
corn. The studding should be two by
six, set three feet on centers with
two by four girts notched into the
studding. The ends of this building are
sided with one~eighth-inch matched
drop siding put on horizontally, ex-
cept the gable, which is put on vertical
ly with the ends notched as shown in
cut The sides are covered with one by
three-inch strips set one-half inch
apart, and are put on vertically. The
space between the cribs is 12 feet wide,
and is closed inside from the bottom
of the cribs to the ground, forming an
inside shed which is not accessible to
any farm animals. This inner shed is
closed by rolling doors ut each end. The
cribs are boarded up inside the shed
with three-inch strips, placed horizon
tally, one-half inch apart, to admit air,
and by opening the doors free circula-
ton of air can be obtained in fine
weather.
Above the shed 1t is fioored over,
forming an apartment ~ feet wide by
40 feet long for storage of corn. A trap
door may be made in this floor to hand
up corn from below. The shed between
the cribs will make splendid store

rales was formed, which ever since has
rendered loyal service to- the Mexican
government and faithfully fulfilled its
duty of guarding the roads of the
country.
The Mexican people of all classes are
very proud of their rurales, and it is
interesting to see the enthusiasm
shown when a detachment of these
soldiers pass along street OF city.
The best opportunity to observe this
feeling occurs in the City of Mexico,
when, on the 10th of September, the
Mexican Independence day, all the ma
tional troops that conveniently can be
gathered for the purpose parade the
streets of the capital, passing in re-
view before the president The Next
cans love military display, and the peo-
pie cheer and shout as the different
cavalry and infantry battalions march
in procession down the Gale de San
Francisco toward the great plaza. But
IL is when the rurales come on that
their great enthusiasm breaks forth.
At such parades the rurales use brides
and saddles mounted with silver, and
the stirrups of some are of solid silver.
Their horses wear housings of fooled
and embroidered leather. AS these
magnificent cavalrymen, in their gold
and silver trimmed leather ranch
mans garb, ride along in platoons,
every man looking as proud and free
as the spirited horse beneath him, the
people that crowd the streets and
housetops go fairly wild. They cheer
and throw their hats into the air,
shouting: viva! These are Next
cans! They are our own soldiers, the
soldiers of the people!"
Without the rurales it would be next
to impossible to operate railways in
Mexico. When the Mexican Central
railway was built the poorer Mexicans
. would steal iron from the rails. To
prevent this source of danger to trains
national law was enacted that any
man detected in the act OF disturbing
the rails or track Of a railway should
be shot without trial. 1t was the

IMPROVED CORN HOUSE.
II Is Inaccessible to Rats and Mice
Because There Is No Hiding

I notice that many farmers suffer a
great waste from vermin in the corn
crib, and frequently it is very serious.
Ratsare especially great enemy in this
respect. Unless the courthouse is so
made that there are no hiding places, 1t
is impossible to dislodge the rats from
their retreat.
The courthouse, shown in end OF view,
Is made so it is inaccessible to rats or
mice, and there are no hiding places be-
meath it. 1t is elevated three feet above
the ground on firmly set stone posts,

from six to eight feet wide and of any
desired length. For 1000 bushels OF

beauty, of course; and his head would
swim when, at pause in the dance,
the auburn haired goddess, with the
black eyes and the tea-rose skin, would
lean on his arm and intoxicate him
with all her starry gaze and violet
breath.
He would marry her-snatch her out
of this poisonous air, and take her to
his own sanity mother, show her a
true family-save her! He sometimes
fancied Olga understood his purpose;
as she handed him his glass of Russian
tea, he thought he now and then
caught, deep in her eyes, gentle light
that seemed to answer to his generous
pity.
