Farmhouse Fuel.

l seldom fail to keep years supply
of wood on hand, and we always have
seasoned wood under cover, writes w.
H. Jenkins, in Practical Farmer. I
have been able to get my wood with,
think, the least expenditure of labor in
the following way: go to the woods
before the snow comes and cut the
wood ready TO load on the sleigh. The
logs that are above six or eight inches
in diameter are drawn to n convenient
place to load them, and placed on skids.
The smaller wood is cut and thrown in
piles near road. use the first sleigh
ing to draSssthe wood to some place near
the wood-hoNsr. We use horsepower
anu drag or crass-cut saw for saving
the wood in stove lengths, and make a
short job of it, as we can saw ten to
twenty cords in a day. During the win
ter we split the wood ready for the
stove, but allow it to partly season out
of doors, before putting 1t in the wood
house. have learned not to put green
wood in the wood-house unless the
house Is an open one; for it will mold
and spoil for burning. My wood-house
is so built that there is door that
opens into the kitchen near the range,
which makes the wood very convenient
to get at get the years wood supply
all piled in the wood-house before 1t is
time to begin farming In the spring,
then give the subject no more attention
until the next winter. My farm work is
not interrupted or delayed by cutting
wood in the summer.

Talking of mercenary marriages,
love-maliing has been going on so
briskly in the Choctaw nation that
nearly six thousand white men have
won Choctaw brides and the land and
money that accompany them. The
Choctaw girls are rather pretty and
some are highly educated. Those who
are not fullbloods refuse to marry In
dams. hence there is a great demand
for whites. Choctaw girls marry at
the age of IL. Because of the five hun
dred and fifty acres of land equal
amount being given to their husbands)
no trouble is experienced in finding a
suitable companion Their complex
ion Is clear white. AS Il rule, the eyes
and hair are black. although some are
perfect blondes. They are of kind
and loving disposition, and are said
by the white men who have tried it to
make excellent wives. To avoid
tramps and degenerates marrying
these girls, the Choctaw laws provide
that all white men, before they. can
be admitted to the tribe, must produce
recommendation of good character
from the county judge Of the county
where they last resided

1t has remained for the United States
to furnish an example, since 1860, Of an
unmistakable attempt on the part of the
creditor classes to manipulate the cur
rency with the premeditated purpose,
through contraction Of the moneyvol-
ume, to increase the value of credits at
the expense of their debtors.
When the New York Associated
Banks induced the United States Sem
ate to mutilate the bill for the green
backs their purpose was cunning and
Intelligent. The result of that mutila-
ton was that our Government currency
was sent on its mission of patriotism
manned and crippled at its birth. Its
defects furnished the opportunity for
gambling spectators.
The amendment these bankers in
duced the Senate to make, limiting the
legal tender standard by the words Eek
cept duties on imports and the interest
on the public debt" was about to be
concurred in by the house. Mr.. Stevens
said:
Il have melancholy forebodings that
we are about to consummate cunning
~ devised scheme which will carry
great injury and great loss to all class
es of people except one. 1t makes two
classes of money-one for the banks
and the other for the people,"
The purpose of this provision was
disclosed in report by John Sherman,
as chairman of the Finance Committee,
on Dec. ~, 1867, in which he said:
1T became necessary to depreciate
the notes tgreenbacks) in order to create
market for the bonds.'
With our national debt increased by
this rascally avarce, and with large
amount of private debts as result of
the war, with an increased amount of
stocks and bonds resulting from the
impetus given to corporate organiza-
tons, they began the next step in the
scheme for robbery.
No language can properly character
lie the iniquity of the conduct of the
New York Associated Banks.
1t was a conspiracy so enormous in
its conception and consequences that
there Is no crime in criminal statutes
that does not become insignificant when
compared with it,
Having inflated debts to the utmost
limit by every power and privilege
known to corporate organizations, the
next step was to decrease the supply of
the means by Which the debts could be
paid.
AT the close OF the war there were
few debts not payable in lawful money.
Gold and silver coin and Government
currency were standards of payment"
In 1865 Senator Morton, Of Indiana, in
the United States Senate, said:
when 1t is asserted that the Govern
ment is bound to pay the five-twenty
bonds in coin, say it is an express vio-
lation Of at least four statutes. We
should do foul injustice to the Govern
ment and to the people of the United
States. after we have sold these bonds
on an average for not over 90 cents on
the dollar now to propose to make
new contract for the benefit Of the bond
holder"
Other great leaders who used to be re-
garded as authority by the Republican
party uttered similar words.-A. j. Van
Vorhis.

New Book by Harvey

w. IL. Harvey is writing sequel to
"Coin," and the chairman of every

ate of father and son was 115 years.
DR.. Storrs is IS years old and was
born in Braintree. He graduated from
Amherst College in 1889, taught for a
time in Morris Academy and begun to
study law with Rufus Choate. He
finally gave this up to enter the min
istry. He took the course at Andover
Theological Seminary and was ordained
in 1915. The next year he began his
long pastorate in Brooklyn. Failing
health led to his resignation. For thirty
years he divided with Henry Ward
Beecher the honors of theological elo-
quence in Brooklyn. Harvard Univer-
sity, Princeton University and Union
College have conferred on him the title
of doctor of laws, and Columbia Uni
versity that of doctor of philosophy.

Edward Atkinson has advised the
farmers to compress their cornstalks
into bales for market as they do their
hay. A writer In the New York Trib-
une suggests that they had better COM
press their hay, stalks and grain into
milk and market them in that form.
But cannot that be improved upon?
Why not compress the milk into butter
and cheese, and the balance of the fod-
der and grain into beef, pork and NUT
ton, or good, well-trained young horses?
Then they would be selling less of the
fertility of the farm, and more Of their
labor and skill, and paying less tribute
to the railroads and other transporta-
ton companies. When 1t takes the price
of bushel Of grain or of two bushels
as 1t did few years ago to pay for
carrying another bushel to the con
sumner, or when the farmer can get for
his hay but one-half what the consumer
has to pay, he should look about to see
how he can compress his products into
packages Of less weight and bulk, that
he may receive more Of the proceeds for
It, and the railroads less. And when he
finds that Of every dollar he receives for
products one-half must go to restore
to the soil that which the crop has taken
,fromsit, he should look to see II he can
not manage to retain at home some Of
the nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid that he is sending away, and which
he replaces from me mines Of Chile,

House for Winter Breeders.
The plan here given has been found
well adapted to the use of winter-brood-
Ing hens. 1t consists of partly under
ground basement, over which double
sloping roof is placed with glass on the
south side. BY protecting the lower
part Of the house, which is built up of
stone concrete-or II of wood the walls
are doubled and the sash doubled, with
an air space of four inches between,
artificial heat will not be needed, except
perhaps for few of the coolest days
and nights in the winter. For these,
sufficient warmth may be secured by
means OF an oil stove or painful OF red
hot wood or coal set on the floor. The
shutters shown on the front will make
q good protection during stormy wealth
er when the winds are blowing cold. In
the front is small entrance door which
Is kept closed when not in use, and the
main door Is on the further end oppo-
site the ventilator in the front gable.
The house faces the south and the lower
part is five feet deep from the level of

Whitewash for Dairy walI..

Farm and Home of London, England,
gives the following recipe for white.
wash. which II well put on would serve
on dairy walls or even inside the
house: Soak quarter of a pound Of
glue over night in tepid water. The
next day put 1t into tin vessel with
quart of water, set the vessel inside
a Kettle Of water over the fire. keep
1t there till 1t boils, and then stir I'M
til the glue is completely dissolved,
Next put from six to eight pounds of
Paris white into another vessel. add
hot water. and stir until 1t has the an
pearance Of milk of lime. Add the
sizing, shr well, and apply in the ordi-
nary way while still warm. EXCEPT ON
very dark walls single coat is suffi-
cient. 1t is nearly equal in brlllIancy
to zinc white "a far more expensive ar.
ticle). Paris white Is sulphate of
baryta, and may be obtained at all
shops.

We are not prepared to assert that
yellow corn is more valuable for feed
ing purposes than white corn, but we
believe that Northern yellow corn Is
better than Southern white corn Of the
same years harvest. 1t may be because
Of more thorough ripenlng, but we
think the fact has been proven both by.
analysis and by feeding tests. This has
been used as an argument to persuade
Northern farmers to grow their own
corn. which we think they can afford to
do. even II 1t Is not better than South
ern, II the farmer has light, warm land.
easily cultivated, and plenty of help to
work 1t at fair rate of wages. OF
course the gardener near a large city
can grow crops more profitable, and he
could not afford to grow field corn on
land that is assessed at valuation of
$1,000 or $1,000 per acre, nor to employ
labor at 50 day to work 1t. To pay
such taxes and labor cost he needs eth.
err two or three crops year from his
