CARING FOR CORN.

Convenient Devices For Huskfng In
Field or Barn-End Gates.
The time OF year Is at hand when the
fingers Of many will industriously ply
fhe husking peg. Unless the work Of
husking Is done by machinery and
steam power 1t is at best a slow and
tedious task, and every facility that
will shorten Its duration needs to be
made use of before cold weather rem
ders the work more disagreeabie. says
the Ohio Farmer. The illustration Gig.
u shows a device which not only pre-
vents waste of fodder, but saves time
when husking either in the field or
barn. All the material used in its con-
struction except the slat table. ETC., Is
by inch boards. The two base
pieces, A A, are each six feet long,
and the pieces, B B, are three feet in
length.
The uprights are long enough to
make the table liz or feet from the

PICTURES ON OUR WALLS.
slmple Ways Of Arranging Them.
laexpOusiye Fra ming


laexpossive Framing.
There Is no reason why one should
not have good pictures in the house.
The day Of cheap chromos and prints
has passed, for the magazines and pa
pers now make 1t a point to reproduce
many of the finest works of art, and
these may be had for the price of the
paper, SO that it Is only matter Of
mounting and framing for one to have
choice subject on his walls. Still 1t
must be confessed that the framing of
picture Is expensive. and even IL this
can be done at home the molding sold
by the foot for frames costs quite a lit
tie unless an inferior holding Is pur-
chased, and this Is rarely satisfactory
when finished. t
In the children's room, however, there
is a way of arranging the pictures I'M
framed which Ia quite simple and inex-
pensive. Take two strips of narrow
molding such as Is used for the fin
ish Of shelves. Place these about a
foot apart at convenient range for
the children's inspection. Mount your
pictures on cardboard foot wide and
slip them between the holdings. AS
fast as one becomes soiled or better
subject is found replace with another
picture. The interest for the children
will seem to Increase with each new
addition. and IL one is careful in the
selection and gives some little sketch
Of the work and the artist they will
prove quite source of education for
little folks.
Passe partout framing for small pic
lures is quite inexpensive and may
easily be done at home. Formerly a
mat over the picture as a margin was
considered necessary. but there Is no
need Of one with the present style of
framing. where the holding frames the
picture without margin.
If the picture Is cut from maya
zine or paper it should first be smooth
ly ironed on the back, with a warm
iron. then mounted on some heavy
cardboard; the cover Of a pasteboard
box will answer. Paste it lightly at
the four corners only. and get at the
GLACIERS piece of glass cut the same
size as the picture. Put this over the
picture and behind 1t place another
piece Of pasteboard of the same size.
The three pieces, glass. picture and
pasteboard are then to be pasted to-
gether around the edges. with a tough
thin paper. that may be purchased at
any framing establishment and is
manufactured for the purpose. al
though any paper that is thin. tough
and pliable will answer.
Cut two narrow strips of thin cam
brio about half an inch wide and an
inch long. fold them over two small
brass rings. paste them at the back
on each side Of the picture, run wire
picture cord through them and they
are ready for hanging. Household

HUsKING DEVICES.

HUSKlNG DEVICES.
erosspieces as shown, and ~ inch rope
Topped at one end isNtied to top cross
pieces near where windlass shaft
comes through. A small box to hold
Irvine is fastened at D. Put ball Of
Irvine in box, bringing the end Of the
string up through the hole in the top
and through small staple in the top
crosspiece. This completes the device.
Though few more braces than are
shown in the cut will be necessary.
When using it, shock Of corn Is
thrown on the table, the husker seats
himself on the middle crossboard and
goes to work. The rope and Irvine
lave first been drawn through under
the seat and left to lie on the ground.
AS the husker proceeds in his work he
drops a small bundle at time back
over his head into the space between
his seat and the windlass, an operation
which may be done easily with little
practice, or he rises and steps over the
husked bundle, sliding it into it's place.
When the whole shock has been depos-
tied between the seat and the windlass,
the rope is brought up around it, and
the loop of rope is slipped on the short
end of the windlass handle. A few
turns of the handle tighten the fodder
bundle as much as required. and the
Irvine being next brought up around it
tie is soon made.
The small cut Gig. p shows another
convenient way of going at it when
husking. The husker has stretched two
long poles from the hind axle of his
wagon to a support of some kind, and
after piling several shocks of corn on
the poles seats himself on a board
across poles and throws the corn up
into the wagon box. This plan may be
made use of when husking in the barn.
When corn has been loaded on wag-
on, it is very unhandy to shovel off at
first until the bottom of the wagon box
has been reached. To overcome this
difficulty different methods are follow
ed, such as laying one end of long,
wide board on the end gate of the wag-
on and the other on the floor of the box
before loading and shoveling on the
board till the bottom of the box is to
be got at, but the extending end gate

the best of these expedients. 1t is fas-

STORY f AMAZING CRIME
ALLEGED DETAILS OF MURDER
OF MILLIONAIRE RICE.
Private Secretary and Valet Jones Said
to Have Confessed to the New York
Police.

NEW YORK, November 1.-Charles
f. Jones, private secretary and valet to
the late William M. Rice and held a
prisoner in the Tombs with Albert T.
Patrick, Rice's attorney on a charge
of uttering and forging check for
$25, 900 drawn to Patrick's order. at
tempted to commit suicide in his cell
this morning at 4 o'clock. The at
tempt was made just about twenty-four
hours after he had made a statement
to Assistant District Attorney Osborne,
in which he practically accuses A. T.
Patrick of numbering the old million
aire by the administration of drugs and
an anaesthetic.
The story told by Jones of the plot to
kill Rice and get possession of his prop
ertv whether true or false is amazing.
When he had told his story and had
been taken back to his cell, which was
almost over that occupied by Patrick,
this extraordinary young man from
Texas, with big, soft brown eyes and a
well-modulated voice, lay down on his
cot to think over what he had done. AS
the sequel proved, fear and remorse and
despair crept into his soul and I'M
nerved him. He had a tiny penknife,
which he says Patrick gave him with
the suggestion that he use it to take his
own life. He dug this knife into the
lower right side of his neck, making a
cash about two inches long and just
opening the jugular vein. and then lay
down to bleed to death.
NEW YORK, November efforts
were being made this afternoon to de-
termine the exact condition of the
lungs of William NJ Rice, the million
aire, after his death. Jones' his valet,
in his confession made before he cut
his throat in the Tombs, said he saw
Albert T. Patrick holding a towel in
the shape of a cone over the aged mil
lionaire's face.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne,
who said he would communicate with
Professor Witthaus concerning the
matter, declared that the autopsy had
revealed a state of affairs consistent
with smothering.
