into the wagon box. This plan may be
made use of when huSking in the barn.
When corn has been loaded on wag-

has been reached. TO overcome this
difficulty different methods are follow

4 young woman at a watering place

ner She called one day at a Chinese
laundry where She had left a shirt

there was no entry in the book of hero
glyphs corresponding to her pink slip.
After a half hours search the China
man found the entry \ mistake had
been made, SO the entry was crossed
out and new set of hicroglyphs in

Protection From Mice.

We have seen all manner OF expedi-
ents used and advised for protecting
young fruit trees from the attacks Of
mice and rabbits. Shields of wire net
ting are very efficient for this purpose
but, besides being comparatively ex-
pensiye they are liable to cut into the
bark and injure the trees fully rs much
as the circumventcd rodents. In ex-
posed localities, where winds were Sc
we're, we have seen many trees ruined
by this sort of protection. In the west
ern states cornstalks and newspapers
are often tied about the trunks Of
young trees and are generally satisfac-
tory. Smearing the trees with blood
tar, dendrolenc raupenleim and other
mixtures is apt TO prove a disappoint-
ment in various ways. In our own ex-
perience we have found quite as much
success in merely banking up about the
trees with earth, says Country Gentle

A Bishop's RetOrt.

At dinner party a young man was
once talking rather foolishly about
Darwin and his books, and he said to
the bishop of Winchester (Wilbcrforce),
"My lord, have you read Darwins last
book on the Descent of MANI" Yes,
l have" said the bishop, whereupon
the young man continued; What nom
sense it is talking of our being de-
scended from apes! Besides, can't
see the use of such stuff. | can't see
what difference it would make to me If
my grandfather was an ape"
NO" the bishop replied; Il don't see
that it would. But it must have made
an amazing difference to your grand
mother.
The young man had no more to say.

Every year after harvest comes the
time Of trouble with insects in stored
grain. Concerning these pests, which
work In the grain bin and often do
great damage before they are discov-
cred. Rural New Yorker advises thus:
All grain bins should of course be thor
oughly cleaned before the new grain is
put in. If the wreyils appear, there
are two ways of killing them. Raising
the temperature to 40 degrees will de-
stroy them, but that is hardly practical
bic in most granaries The most eff
fective remedy is found in bisulphide
of carbon. This is a powerful poison
1t is quite inAammable and must not
be used near au open fire. When put
at the top of the bin, it yolatiZes, and
the gas. being heavier than air, sinks
through the whole mass of grain with
out iniuring it, The usual application
Is about a pound and half of biSri-
phide to ton of grain in a tight bin
More should be used when the bins
gre open. The bisulphide may be put
In shallow pans or saucers and thus
scattered over the surface of the bin.
Then close the top and throw blanket
over to exclude the air, leaving it alone
for 2l hours.

MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS
The Rose Show Exceeds All Expec-
tatiOns aud Crowd is Immense.
Names Of Pnze Winners and Of Children
Taking Part IN Bicycle Parade
About SIoo Cleared.

The Rose Show was unequiyocally a
grand success, and the expectations OF
the promoters we're realized several
fold. The only drawback was the lack
Of room to acc ,modate the crowds which
sought admission, and had there been
plenty Of leeway in this respect, the re-
ceipts, would undoubtedly have been
much larger.
The parade Of children with decorated
bicycles and floats was very fine. There
we're over 100 children in the parade
and between forty and fifty decorated
bicycles.
The crowd which was gathered on the
court house square was variously esti-
mated, at from 1900 TO 5000 people.
The parade started from the First NJ.
+. church at 1880. led by the Chemawa
Indian band Of IL pieces and preceded
by a colored gentlemen, Chas. Lechter,
dressed at the very top notch Of style,
and acting as drum major. Then fol-
lowed the flower covered bicycles, inter
spersed with beautiful little floats. The
rear was brought up by two little
Chinese children in float drawn by the
dog, Rastus, led by young China
American on each side.
The line Of march was once around
the court house square against the sun,
counter marching on the curved walk
east Of the courthouse and thence 10 the
city hall.
The council chamber on the second
floor OF the city hall, with the main
hallway, was set with tables upon
which the flowers we're displayed, and,
in spite Of the uuiavorable season, the
tables we're covered with most beautiful
specimens.
The press Of visitors was 10 great that
II was necessary for the people 10 pass in
through the council chamber and out
through the main hall Of the building,
and during the rendition Of the musical
program IL was impossible TO make ones
way through the crowd.
The Mandolin Club played several
choice selections, and Miss Ethel Ray
mond sang, responding TO a hearty
encore.
