ENLIsT1Na OFFICE OPENED
A Battalion Being Organized to Fight
Spain

The patriotic men of the community will
be given an opportunity this morning to
enlist to fight the Spaniard, as recruit
ing office is to be opened at 1O9 South
Broadway. Officer Lehnhausen and other
members of the police force are at the
head of the plan. They propose to organ
ize a battalion of 425 men here, in order
to prepare themselves in the details of
drills and maneuvers, in anticipation of
the declaration of war at an early date.
About 119 men have been enlisted for a
year past, and they are we'll schooled in
tactics. If there is no call for volunteers,
the battalion can, Of course. be disband-
ed, the present idea of the originators
being to teach the men, and thus save
the time ordinarily consumed in the awk-
ward squad after the soldiers are regu-
larly enlisted.
The office will be open by II a. m., and
either Officer Lehnhausen, Deputy Con-
stable Tom Quinn or some of his other
able assistants will be in personal charge.
None but those in perfect physical condi-
ton will be accepted.

Filling Washouts.

A Pennsylvania asks Country Gen.
tleman: "What would you advise as
the best material for using to fill up
washouts from one to three feet deepi
The fields arc stubble fields, with young
clover on, and intended to NOW next
summer. The washouts were caused by
heavy rains last fall. Is there anything
better than stones, and these to be filled
in to the depth of plowing?" The reply
is as follows:
Stones will serve admirably for fill
ing up these washouts, but care should
be taken not to put in too many, or in
future years the soil will be so shallow
above the stones as to interfere with the
plow. If the washouts could be filled to
within about foot of the surface with
stone and these covered with corn
stalks, or sods from waste places, OF
even with straw, then a back furroW
thrown upon them and tie plowing
continued up and down the incline un-
til the surface was very level, the re-
suits would be satisfactory. We are not
sure that it would not be good plan
to deepen the shallow washouts by dig
ging ditch foot deep and eight inch
es wide and filling it with stones. This
will serve as drain, and should an ex-
cessive quantity of rain fall in future
years much of it would quickly find its
way to this underground drain, there
by relieving the danger Of washouts.

Value of Corn siIage.

Director VOORHEES,, New Jersey sta
tion, after making comparative tests OF
corn silage and field dried corn fodder
for milk and butter production, arrives
at the following conclusions:
1. That the cost of harvesting, stor-
ing and preparing the dry matter con-
tanned in corn was greater in the form
Of silage than in the form Of dried fod-
der. 2. That the changes that occur in
the composition of silage were not such
as to decrease its feeding value in a
greater degree than those which occur
in the process of dry curing corn fodder.
8. That for milk and butter production
the feeding value of the dry matter of
the silage was greater than that Of the
dried fodder corn The yield of milk
was 1873 per cent greater and the yield
of butter fat 10. per cent greater. 4.
At / cent per pound for the milk pro-
duced the value of the corn crop was
near $40 per acre greater when fed in
the form Of silage than in the form Of
dry fodder.
This test was from a field of 10 acres
that yielded only 1925 tons Of silage to
the acre. From this it will be seen that
when one has ten acres of fair growth
of corn (112.5 tons), it would pay for a
500 silo the first year, to ensile it in
stead Of feeding it dry.

HOW TO cIRcUMvENT RATS
Methods That Are Practiced with More
mr. Iaaa Snneess hu Earnnara

Methods That Are Practiced with More
or Less Success by Farmers.
An unusual interest has been aroused
in the destruction of rats this season
because of the great number found in
corncribs and in the vicinity Of poultry
houses. The loss from this source has
been considerable, to say nothing Of the
annoyance. American Agriculturist
calls attention to some of the more sue
cessful methods practiced for their ex-
termination. If trouble in corncribs is
to be avoided next year, set the. build
ings en- posts 18 inches high, and
around the top tack strip of old tin OF
invert tin pan and place it over the
top Of the post. This will not always
keep them out, but will do much to-
ward preventing their entrance.
Where cribs are on the ground and
have been undermined by these pests
number Of methods of getting rid Of
them, more or less successful, have
been suggested. If we'll trained ferret
and good rat dog can be secured, gTeaa
numbers can be killed in short time.
The ferret will go into the holes under
the crib and run out the rats, which
can then be disposed Of by means OF the
dog or guns: After the rats have been
well cleaned out by this means they
seldom return or at least not for a long
time.
In closed bins, where carbon bisul-
phide can be used, they can be got rid
of in short time. Merely place an open
dish full of the chemical on top of the
grain and permit it to evaporate. Ii
will permeate every point and kill all
living creatures. In using the bisul-
phide remember that it is very infam-
mab1e, and all lights and fires must be
Kept away from the building while it is
being applied.
During the last few years rabbits,
gophers, prairie dogs, mice and rats have
been killed by catching one of the ami
mails and inocu1ating it with virus
prepared especially for this purpose.
Release the animal, and it will spread
contagion among all the rats on the
place, often resulting in clearing farm.
This virus can be obtained from large
drug stores and is good for use from 10
to 13 days after it has been put up. II
the animal cannot be caught to be inoc-
ulated, the virus may be mixed with
food and fed to the rats, when it will
take effect in the same way. The ad-
vantage of this virus is that while it is
death to rodents it does not affect do
mestic animals or human beings. In
this it has agreat advantage over strych-
nine, rough on rats, etc., according to
the authority quoted.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.
An Arkansas correspondent of Rural
New Yorker says:
To keep sweet potatoes successfully
requires a moderately dry atmosphere
and temperature from so to 20 + A
temperature much below 10 degrees for
any length of time would be likely to
result disastrously An ordinary potato
cellar requires the temperature to be
kept too low to be an ideal place for
sweet potatoes. If had few potatoes
and wished to. keep them, would use
good sized box or barrel, stratify the
tubers with perfectly dry sand or chaff
and put them in some warm room in
the dwelling where the above conditions
could be secured If no such place could
be found, then would set the barrel or
box in the potato cellar. Being thus
stratifed would at least keep them from
sudden changes of temperature even in
the cellar, which would be no little ad-
vantage to them
