what Chaff Is Good For.

All kinds of grain have chaf sur
rounding the kernels. In its wild
state this chaf serves very impor-
tant use, as it absorbs the moisture
that would otherwise swell the grain
and cause its premature generation.
After long cultivation this use seems
less necessary and there is less pro-
fusion of chat aad husk. 1t is quite
possible that all our Indian corn orig
inally came from that curious wild
variety i'll which each grain on the
ear had its separate husk. Wherever
there are severe droughts during the
time the grain is forming there will
he less development of chaff and husk.
With our self-binding grain harvest
ers, grain is now often put into stack
or NOW before it has dried out as it
should do. The husk in such case
serves au important use, as the straw
will often rot under the baud where it
is tightly compressed, while the head
with still damper grain is preserved
from injury by the loose chaf with
which it is surrounded, and which
very rapidly dries not only itself but
the grain in contact with it. Barley,
which is most apt to be injured by
rains, has better supply of chaff and
awns to keep its head open to air than
has any other grain.

sewage as Afrectinr Food.

Investigations, it is declared, show
that animals fed on sewage farms are,
under certain conditions, liable to
have their flesh and secretions changed
by the herbs and grasses, produced by
the sewage, upon which they feed.
Thus, if the sewage on given farm
be so managed that no more of it be
put into the soil than any given crop
can adequately deal with, it is asserted
that the crop will, under these con-
ditions, be sweet and natural, and that
the cattle or other animals fed on it
will also be of that character. On the
other hand, if the soil be gorged to
repletion with sewage, then the crops
will be surcharged with sewage ele-
ments, and unfit for food l. the meat
and milk of animals derived from such
crops will also be like the crops, alike
unpleasant to the taste and dangerous
to the health. These hospital state
ments are proved by well-known facts;
that is, if COW is fed on turnips, her
milk will within twenty-four hours
taste like them, the intensity of the
flavor being according to the quantity
of turnips taken; in the case of hens
and their eggs, like result follows,
for, if fed on decaying matter. which
they always eat greedily, both their
eggs and flesh will be disag eeable
and unwholesome eating Ducks, too,
are still more Objectionable in lhese
respects. New York Tribune.

!; WOMEN STREET
! GAR CONDUCTORS.
Their Employment In Railway Ser
vice Extending in This Country.

Women are a success as street-car
conductors in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Since they were engaged one month
ago by the Electric Street Railway
Company the receipts of the corpora
tion have increased thirty per cent.
The women were employed originally
as measure of economy. 1t was
found that the system of having every
person put his own fare in the box re-
suited in the missing of a great many
fares. On the other hand, it would
cost too much to hire two men for each
car. It was then that the superin-
tendent hit upon the idea of employ
ing women as conductors, to whom
only half as much was paid as would
have been paid to men. The girls are
good looking and members of emf
nently respectable families. They
are paid 81 per week, and enjoy their

the tools with which to work, and
boundless ambition drove it on until
achievement is assuming proportions
beyond the widest dream of boyhood
servant days. He left the priest and
studied medicine. He went to Hong
Kong and saw something of other peo-
Piles and of other intellects than de-
generate Spanish or tndeveloped
Filipino.
In this growth to manhood and this
struggle for education young Aguin-
aldo found personal experience of the
amazing blindness of the masters of
the islands. The rule of the Spanish
in the Philippines is almost beyond
belief. Nevertheless, the testimony is
convincing. The nation which delib-
erately does all in its power to retard
the progress of learning, to prevent
the education of its people, has small
claim to civilization. In these islands
it was practically crime for Fill
pino to achieve any education. If he
came to the notice of the authorities it
was more than probable that, if he
were not disposed of more effectively,
he would be exiled Aguinaldo suf-
fered this punishment for his ambi-
ton, and now he is taking revenge.
His friends, his relatives, suffered
similarly, and now strive with him for
vengeance on the Spaniard.
The Filipinos are stoical in endur.
ance, one benefit of three centurie, of
Spanish oppression and misrule.
They can endure and be still, endure
physical pain and suffering, with the
outward Indifference of red Indian.
They have the patience of Pambe Sc
rang, imitless courage of the fighting
sort, and ambition, in the case of their
leaders, that knows neither metes nor
bounds. In manners they are polite
and agreeable, and intercourse with
European civilization has given some
of their leaders a distinguishing
polish. They affect the hauteur and
the reserve of their old Spanish rulers,
and thereby attach to themselves the

Queer Way. of the "coxltes."

in an article on the "Covites" of
the Cumberland Mountains, published
I. the Ladies's Home Journal, Sarah
Barnwell Elliott says: ''The people
are usually squatters on small lots of
uncleared mountain land, which is ex-
tremely shallow and poor. They usu-
ally live in log or slab houses-some-
times 'chinked and sometimes not;
sometimes with floors, and sometimes
without-eking ont an existence by
peddling either the nuts and fruits of
the wilderness. or their poor 'gyarden
truck. They are very keen at bar
gain, even when they have no idea of
the proper value of the thing in hand,
and though they are very hospitable
when you come to their houses, and
will give you anything they have in
the way of food, they will never give
you anything that they have brought to
sell. They may give it to your cook,
or to your next-door neighbor, OF they
may throw it away just outside your
gate, but you having declined to pay
their price they will not give it to
you--at least, not that special ar
ticle."

Soil Exhaustion.

In Bulletin "a of the New York
state agricultural experiment station
attention is called to the dangers of
continued free use of farmyard man
ures. Referring especially to cereal
crops, the bulletin shows that such
manures are deficient in potash and
phosphoric acid, and that when used
continuously for n considerable period
they will hasten soil exhaustion
1t is undoubtedly true that all soils
receive more or less accessions of am
monia from the atmosphere, through
rainfall and the action of leguminous
plants of various kinds, but potash
and phosphoric acid cannot possibly
be obtained by such means. Conse-
quently, while the supply of ammonia
may be obtained within reasonable
limits the mineral fertilizers suffer
rapid depletion and crops begin to
fall of.
Farmyard manure tends to exhaust
the phosphoric acid and potash of the
soil, simply because it contains less
mineral fertilizer than ammonia in
proportion to the needs OF the crop.
The effect ON the soil is kind OF
stimulation, for the supplies of phos-
phoric acid aud potash naturally ex-
listing in the soil are drawn upon to
make up the balance. While the
amount for any one year may not be
large, after years of cropping the loss
becomes serious.
Even in those eases where no man
Oh
is reached. A very considerable
quantity of ammonia reaches the soil
every year through the aid of legnmes,
while every pound of mineral fertil-
izers taken off in crops is just SO much
dead loss to the soil. This is shown
very clearly by the fact that the sim
pie application of phosphoric acid and
potash will very frequently give heavy
crops. The large fertilizer manufac-
turers of the east make up their mix
lures from actual farm tests, and it is
striking fact that the ammonia in
such goods is very low as compared
with the phosphoric acid and potash.
If farmyard manure is used, or if no
manure at all is used, dress the fields
with phosphoric acid and potash.
When these fail it is time to look after
further ammonia supply. 1t is not
wise to run the soil down to the verge
of exhaustion by using the most ex-
lensive ingredient of fertilizers. For
potash, potash salts are all that can
be desired, and ordinary bone pro-
ducts will supply the needful phos-
phoric acid. Cereal farmers will find
that the normal fertility of their soils
may be maintained for many years
yet, by the simple application of the
mineral fertilizers.

acre. The best results are usually
obtained from a mixture of several
grasses as put in proper proportions
by reliable seedmen.
One of the finest mixtures for q
fairly productive soil consists of Or
chard grass, English rye grass, mead
ow foxtail, Italian rye grass, sweet-
scented vernal, Rhode Island bent and
red top. This mixture is sown in the
fall at the rate of three bushels per
acre, more on poor land, and in the
spring a mixture of clover is sown
over the field broadcast OF the rate Of
ten pounds to the acre.
The hay crops from this sowing
frequently amount to more than three
times that from timothy and clover or
other two-grass mixtures, leaving after
cutting a pasture OF value until late
in the fall. Another point in favor
of a mixture of several grasses is tho
long life of the meadow. If cared for
by occasional fertilizing such mead
ow will scarcely need renewing under
ten or dozen years.

Drying wheat for Seed.

After every damp harvest as the
present has been in most localities,
the grain goes into the barn with it's
straw not so thoroughly dry as it
should be. There is also considerable
dampness in the grain itself, and this
will probably cause heating of the
grain in the NOW. With spring grain
this does not matter much for the
grain will be pretty sure to dry out
when freezing cold weather comes.
But whenever winter grain is grown
tbs seed for next harvest has to be
selected from the present years crop,
and this often means the premature
threshing of the winter grain aud us
ing it while still damp as seed.
To this fact is probably to be at.
tributed the common belief among
farmers that old wheat and rye are
better for seed than new. In the old
grain the freezing of winter and the
subsequent thawing has made the
seed nearly wholly free of moisture
Yet all these experiences are not alb
solutely necessary If the grain is
thoroughly dried in the fall that it is
grown, it is not only as fit but more
tit for seed than it is after being dried
out by winter freezing wherein its
terminating powers are more apt to
be injured than they are by being
thoroughly dried out the previous
fall.
We have heretofore advised tho
greatest care iu drying seed grain for
fall sowing. But it is far better, we
believe to thoroughly dry the seed
even by artificial means. We have
over and over again dried seed grain
in fruit evapora+ors such as are used
for drying ap le =, and always with
the best result ii large proportion
grown of the seed that was sown. We
believe that it is best to dry all grain
used as seed by the heat of fire 1t
may he by braiding the seed corn and
hanging it beside the chimney, so as
to secure the heat of the kitchen fire.
But however it is dried, the seed that
has fire heat to dry it is sure to pro-
duce the most vigorous growth and
the largest crop of grain. American

.AiiEhting Boards.

Not only in wiater is the lighting
board of great Importance, but in sum-
mer as well.
Every convenience about the en-
frances of hives should be afforded the
bees. and this is of equal Importance
the year round. The entrance to the
hive of itself should necessarily be
small in winter and for this reason the
surroundings should be more favor
able.
A good broad board, we'll cleated at
each end to keep it straight, should
rest on the ground at one end, and
slope to the entrance to the hive at
the other
This does not apply to well kept
apiaries, as other convenences used
are better, but as farm bees are us ually
kept.
The up-to-date apiarist makes a
nice little mound of earth to set the
hive on and places the bottom board
directly on the same, and banks up in
front with sand, gravel or sawdust on
a level with the entrance or bottom
board, and neither spear of grass
nor weed is allowed to grow near
the hives. 1t is much better to have
hives set directly on the ground, but
if the ground is allowed to grow up
with grass and weeds until the bees
are totally shut ont of the hive. then
the old rule of benches two or three
feet high would probably be better

have since carried on a campaign of
liberty, taken forty provinces, and have
reduced Manila. They have 5000
prisoners.
Peace and tranquility prevail IN the
conquered provinces, and there is no
resistance to Aguinaldos authority.
The campaign, the memorial says, was
conducted with due regard to the rules
of civilized warfare.
He asks for the recognition of the
independence of the Philippine Re-
public, or, failing in that. to grant the
Filipinos belligerent rights. The

Senior Don Emilio Aguinaldo Faury
there was time not long ago when
he left off both the front and rear ends

man. He has read the story of young
man from Corsica, who made consider
able history at the other end of the
century. Far be it from any carplng
critic to suggest that he endeavors to
initiate that master of artillery. But
there are certain marked traits which
the two men have in common, even to
the desire to wear gold collars. They
say he is twenty seven years old, and
he looks it. It is noticeable fact
that all the leaders Of the Filipinos
are young; that is the result of the
conditions which make the background

work, while the superintendent says
that they do it well.
Lately q sort of epidemic for en-
ploying women in the transportation
service of the country has broken out.
It's not local epidemic, so it's going
to be difficult to quarantine it, though
many of the trades unionists have
been trying their best to stamp it out.
There's not likely to be more success
full than usual, however.
The epidemic seems to have started
last winter at Middletown, Conn.
where a woman got employment as a
motorman on street car. The no.
toriety the line got as result was
discouraging, so the pioneer was dis
charged, but the notion that women
would make frst-class conductors if
not grip manipulators in small towns
struck more than one street railroad
manager.
Out in Vincennes, Ind, month or
so ago the local street railway COM
pany, in fit of economy, decided to
discharge its men conductors and en-
ploy women. Fifty women applied
for the job and five were put to work
at $5 week.
The superintendent of the Electric
Railway, Light and Power Company,
of Chillicothe, w. J. Myers, has written
an optimistic letter to the Electrical
Engineer on the subject:
''We could not afford to employ
men, and we could not see why wom-
en- would not make as good conduc-
tors as men. We keep them on duty
ten hours day and pay them 81 per
week, and they are proving them
selves in every way competent and
efficient. We are very particular in
selecting them, and had no trouble in
getting good applications and great
many more than we are able to en-
ploy. 1t gives us very clean SER
vice, and we think that this will be a
new field for the employment of
ladies'"
Madison, Ind, has caught the cpl
demic, too, but somehow its citizens
seem to have been inoculated against
it. The families of the men who have
been thrown out of work by the new
women conductors have been making
big fuss about it, and the citizens
declare they will walk before they will
patronize cars conducted by women.
The steam railroads are falling into
line. It is four or five years now
since vigorous howl went up because
the Brooklyn Elevated decided to en-
ploy women ticket agents. A few
months ago the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad put women in charge of
eighteen of it's offices. Time and again
1t has been rumored that the New
York Elevated and the New York Cen
tral Railroad would substitute women
in its stations all along the line. AL
ready there are more women employed
in the Central's offices than on any
other road.
But after all these are not the
pioneers in a new field. AS matter
of fact we are away behind the rest of
the world in the employment of wo-
men in the railway service. England
hires few, while in France women
railroaders are common.
