An Iowa exchange tells of wonder
ful German corn" raised by farmer
OF that state. which is "as white as
white can be. produces from three to
seven ears on the stalk and from 10 to

one grain as seed in each hill. The
corn branches out from the root like
winter wheat and grows from 10 to IL
feet high"
A Kansas farmer reports having kept
his potatoes sound and free from dis
ease through the winter by fumigating
them with sulphur in an alright cham
Der before storing them in cool place
for the winter. The sulphur kills all
germs Of scab, etc. and the potatoes
are said to terminate and grow more
vigorously than the unfumigated when
planted.

ties is very important. The Ben Davis

also wide enough so that the wings B

of the bed When the end gate is up.
Have two hooks made as at | and 2
and bolt to the end gate with the hook
turned down. Then have made out of
old wagon tire two plates. 3 and 4,
each about six inches long, with slots
about two inches long and large
enough to admit hooks l and 2. Bolt
these plates to the under side of the
wagon bed, with the slots extending
out far enough from the bed to admit
the hooks. This makes your hinge for
the end gate SO that it can be removed
from the bed instantly.
Now attach two rods or chains, as
at Fig. 5, at G ID and let them pass
through rings fastened at the top end
Of the bed. This holds the end gate up,

each side of the bed, fastened the
length of the chains or rods from the
end of the bed to hold the end gate up
While the load is being hauled.
Particular attention is called in the
journal already mentioned to the crate
shown in the second cut by a writer
who describes it thus: AS can be seen,
all the Stats composing it are upright,
obviating thereby the use of corner
supports. for, as put together, the Stats
lap at the corners and, being well nail
ed, afford great firmness to the whole
affair. This is of decided convenience
in that the crate can thus be made of
dry goods boxes and the like, simply
with saw and hammer, some nails and
some leather straps for handles, one on
each side.
The shape Of this crate, remember,
should be rectangular, for then if one
wishes to load number of them into
a wagon box it can be done with per-
feet ease. Indeed, if put to use in this
manner. the crate is Indispensable for
harvesting apples, potatoes, turnips.

on rainy days, to fill wagon box load

How Mosquitoes Hibernate.

I'm what stage of their existence do
mosquitoes and similar gnats pass the
winter?" is query to which Miss
Mary E. Murtfeldt replies in the ST.
Louis Republic: So far as has been as
certained. the mosquito and its nearest
allies hibernate in the perfect form,
hidden away in hollow trees, in cor
ners of buildings and among low BUSH
es. That the most severe cold does
not impair their vitality is proved by
the almost insupportable abundance
and ferocity Of these insects in arctic
regions. They will also survive in
heated rooms in state Of semiactivity,
as the writer has proved by expert
ment.

HIVES FOR WINTER.
A Cheap CHAT Arrnngement-How to
Move Bees.

Move Bees.
There is no better arrangement for
wintering bees than an ordinary dry
goods box made into a chaff hive, as
shown in Fig. l, and tie manner Of fix
ing it is SO fully explained in the pic
ture that no further direction is need
ed. The side of the large box is taken
DIT to show how to arrange the hive Of
bees. The hive is tipped up at one side
to show the bottom arrangement. The
side is placed back and the entire space
between hives inside filled with dry
chaif, good roof added and all paint
ed up nicely, as shown in Fig. 2.
This arrangement is Illustrated in
Farm, Field and Fireside, in which A.
III. Duff also tells about moving bees.
He says that moving them, either long
or short distances, should be done be-
fore cold weather They should be To-
Gated on the spot where they are in
tended during warm weather to be
wintered, SO as to be thoroughly ac-
quainted with their surroundings be-
fore cold weather sets in This not
only answers for long distances, but
more especially so if they are to be
moved about in the same apiary.
If colonies are thus changed just at
the beginning of winter. when they do
not have a chance to mark their new
location by frequent flights. it will re-
suit in rreparable damage and a heavy
loss in bees. The only safe plan to
move colonies in the same apiary is to
move the h.ee a few feet each day that
the bees are dying until the desired
spot is reached
In this manner the bees will follow
the hive and find their way home;

otherwise they would become lost or
enter other hives. in which case they
are liable to be stnng to death by other
bees. There is less loss in this respect
during the autumn months than at any
time during spring or summer, as the
bees are lying idle the greater part of
the time at this season.
Bees should not be moved during
winter. They should not be disturbed
or molested in any manner while tax
ing their winter doze. except on fine
day, when they are flying, to look after
their wants. They may be moved in
early spring in safety, when they are
beginning to fly daily.

Preparing Trees For Winter.

At the north begin to prepare trees

Commercial Fertilizer and Potatoes.
The Virginia station draws the fol-
lowing conclusions from experiments
with commercial fertilizers for pota-
toes:
First.-That potatoes grown without
fertilizers contain the greatest amount
of dry matter The addition of fer
tilizers tends to diminish the dry mat
ter, and also as the quantity of fer
tilizer used is increased the amount of
dry matter is diminished.
Second.-Potatoes grown where sui
phate Of potash was used contain more
dry matter than those where muriate
was used.
Third.-The ash Is not affected to
any very appreciate extent. Fertili-
zers tend slightly to increase it.
Fourth.-Nery little effect is produced
on the starch by fertilizers, their tend
ency being to increase rather than to
diminish it.
of potash contain less dry matter but
slightly more starch than those grown
with sulphate of potash.
SiXth.-Neither the kind nor amount
of fertilizer has any appreciable effect
on the percentage Of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash contained in
potatoes.
Seventh percentage of chlorine
is considerably increased when muriate
of potash is used. and the more muri-
ate used the higher the percentage Of
chlorine.

Better Roads.

No agricultural people will ever
prosper as they should under the eN-
listing system of county roads. The
cost of bad roads is too heavy a tax
upon them. Yet we go on from year
to year making little or no effort to
improve upon the old methods. Many
counties in this state are grading and
improving their roads by macadamiz-
ing them, or by some other method.
Good roads can be made in this sec
ton the same as anywhere else. and
we long to see the day when all our
people will wake up to their interests
and have every public road in the
county put in perfect condition.
Those counties that do not move up
in this matter, will get lost in the
shuttle.

Ay. sell the old horse, if you will;
For he is broken down
And weak with years-why care 1or that
There's plenty in the town
To take his place TO do his work,
togo the place he went
By DAY or night, or rain or shine,
Until his strength was spent
He never stopped to reason Why,
TO * that this be done,
Or that; he knew his duty,
He did il on the run.
He served his master as he D'>t
Knew how to serve-and now
G0 sell him: he is loyal and
Will not ask why, Or how
A horse is not sentiment:
He cannot think or speak
Or vote; then why protect him when
He's WORTHLESS, old, and weak?
For him no starry banner floats
On every breeze that blows;
For him no pension comforts come
When years his labors close.
Az. sell the old horse, if you Will;
He will not ask you why,
Nor make complaint, when lie /, turned
Adrift to StarVe and die;
But faithful in his labors still
AS when they were began,
He will not care; he is content
With duty bravely done.

The farmer who makes his own
supplies is the successful farmer
whether he gets rich at it or not.
And by raising his own supplies we
mean more than the making of bread
and meat and feed for his stock.
One of the most important thing
and one much neglected-is the
making of his own fertilizers. The
man who depends alone on buying
guano to produce his crops without
regard to the permanent improve
ment of his land by judicious
system of green manuring and COM
