Advantages of Hay Cans.

At the present prices of cotton cloth
a set of good hay caps yard square
would sometimes pay for themselves in
a single season, when a wet spell
catches the farmer with lot of hay
nearly cured enough for the barn. It is
both provoking and a sure loss to have
a good crop of what should have been
good hay converted into bedding or
something worse than that, after one
has worked two or three days to get
it fit for the barn. Yet we have often
seen this happen. A cap yard square
will cover good-sized tumble of hay
or shock of grain, as if it does not
reach the ground it is enough to have
the top we'll covered if the heap is prop
erly made. We have heard some say
that the hay would spoil by heating
under the cap, but we never have had
it do so.-Prairie Farmer.

EVERGREEN HEDGES.
A. an Effective Windbreak and q
Real Ornament to the Farm
They Have No Equal.

In planting evergreens for wind
break, it is well to remember that the
best results are obtained when the
trees are closely branched clear to the
ground, thus giving an upward curv-
ing surfac that seems to turn the wind
upward. giving protection to building
even taller than the row of trees. This
idea is shown in the cut, the dotted line
showing the direction of the wind. If
the trees are not thick at their bases
the wind will not be thus DETECTED up
ward and the chief value of the hedge
as windbreak is lost.
And right here it is to be remembered
that to secure an evergreen tree close
branched to the ground the trees must

Generous FOemen.

Soult, the historian Napier tells US,
with noble feeling of regard for Sir
John More's valor, raised monu.
ment to his memory. It has been
stated that Romano, and not the
French marshal, did the grateful act;
but the story is too pretty to spoil.
Lord Methuen has repaid the act in q
graceful manner, which our gallant but
fractious neighbors across the channel
will appreciate keenly. On the stone
which has been erected at the expense
of the commander of the Kimberley
force it is recorded that Count de Vile
bois Mareuil, colonel of the foreign le-
gion and general of the Transvaal, died
on the field of honor. The count left
as a charge in his will that if he was
killed his body should be buried where
he fell, and not removed to France.
Knowing we'll and honoring English-
men as he did, though he died fight
ing against us, he felt he could trust
what was left of him in the hands Of our
soldiers, and his trust has not heen in
vain.-London Telegraph.

Experiments to find the influence of
shade upon garden crops show that
shade retards termination of the first
crop of lima beans, but not of the mid
summer planting. All root crops. as
turnips, carrots and potatoes, grow
larger leaf surface in shade, but small
er roots. Shade improves salad crops,
noticeably celery. With seed or fruit
producing plants, as beans, peas, egg
plants, tomatoes and cucumbers, the
time of blooming is retarded and the
period of fruitfulness prolonged. The
foliage becomes deeper green in the
shade with tendency to increase the
size of the blade of the leaf-Midland

An Indiana Corn Standard

Following is the standard adopted at
the recent meeting of the Indiana
Corn Growers association: A perfect
ear of corn in the northern third of
the state should be nine inches in
length; in the central third, ten
inches; in the southern third, II
inches. The diameter of the ear
should be equal to one-fourth of the
length. The ear should yield 30 per
cent. of grain by weight. The ear
should taper slightly, approaching the
cylindrical to near the point. 1t should
be we'll filed out at both ends, with
the rows regular and straight. Dis
qualifications: Red cob in white corn.

System Of Selling Fruit,

Cooperative marketing of fruits
should be encouraged. The losses that
occur to fruit men every timewe have
a good crop of any kind of fruit dis
courage the fruit growers. The guam
titles of peaches that rot on the glut-
ted markets would bring pleasure to a
multitude of consumers. It is the hit
or-miss method of distribution that is
largely responsible for the losses. The
systematic distribution of fruit will be
the forerunner of better methods for
utilizing the surplus of fruit and Of
keeping it until it can be used by the
people.

Twain 1T the Telephone.

While living at his home at Hartford,
Conn, Mark Twain was one morning deep
in the composition of some humorism from
which he expected good deal, when he was
called to the telephone. He told the servant
but in few moments was informed that the
party at the other end Of the wire wanted
him. Provoked at the interruption, Mark
went to the telephone, and, after 'helloing"
for some time without an answer, he used
some language not generally seen in print,
but which was certainly picturesque. While
thus engaged he heard an answer in aston
ished tones and recognized the voice of an

Planting Trees tor Timber,

The planting of waste land to trees
for timber is receiving more attention
than formerly. Farmers who planted

then made good investments. It is
claimed that cherry and hickory trees

valuable for timber; maple trees, 20
years, and black walnut, Is years. a
