POISON IN CELLARS.
Rotting Vegetables and Fruits Pro-
duce Carbonic Gas, IA Deadly
Disease breeder.

Says J. j. II. Gregory, the well-known
scotsman and vegetable grower: "A
cellar may be more valuable than the
building which stands on it when the
farmer has learned just how to control
its temperature and dryness for the
best keeping of his vegetables"
Cellars have generally been found to
be unhealthy. Vegetables are frequent-
ly left over to rot. While rotting, car
bonic acid gas is formed. This gas is
heavier than common air, and settles
to the bottom of the cellar. 1t is very
unhealthy, and people when entering
the cellar are liable to breathe it. IL
sufficiently pure and breathed alone 1T
would soon cause death. In q section
much affected with n malignant fever
it was found that in every case where
the fever prevailed there was cellar.
while the houses where there were
no cellars were generally exempt.
Where cellars are thus used COW
cred drain Of proper size leading out
ward from the bottom of the cellar
should be constructed. The construc-
ton should be such that the drain can
be opened and closed at pleasure. BY
opening occasionally the foul air can
be drained Off 1t is, however, believed
that the better plan will be to abandon
the cellar altogether 4 house of prop
er size can be constructed with q
double floor and double walls from
s to 12 feet apart. Fill between
the walls with sawdust or fine earth.
Double doors should be constructed,
one in either end, say, 5X2Ha feet. The
inner door may be constructed to slide.
Houses constructed as above gave en-
tire satisfaction and were free from
the deleterous effects OF carbonic acid
gas.-Bryan Tyson, in Farm and Home.

A creamery patron, who milks cows
when butter fat is high and beef low,
but turns his attention to beef when
butter fat is low, says: profits
scarcely visible to the naked eve.
What shall we do to be saved?" Breed
ing for milk one year and beef the
next is suicidal policy that no en-
terprising breeder would dare prac-
tice. BY this haphazard method, the
above patron realized for butter fat

pushed along dairy lines, brought an
average Of $37.75 per COW per annum.
This difference of S1S.12 per COW is
what would have been visible to the
naked eye, had his cows been handled
as the college cows were handled.

changes, as any deviation will result
in running the whole plan. The plat
form is made of inch oak doubled
with broken joints and two-inch fall
at ditch. This platform may be made
of cement instead of plank or boards.
The ditch should be made watertight.
| have found that where a consider
able quantity of absorbents are used
ditch IL inches wide, Q inches deep
at platform and : inches at walk has
given us the greatest satisfaction.
We Ind that platform feet q
inches from ditch to the piece across
the front of the stall is just right for
COW weighing LOCO pounds. For
shorter COWS decrease the length, the
idea being to fence the COW pack to
the ditch 30 that all her weddings will
fall int o the latter which insures a clean
animal. For the managers ] use two
three by three studd.ng, and lay them
full length of stalls, so that the feed
trough will be is inches wide and four
inches above platform after placing a
tight bottom of either an 1S,ipch
board or matched flooring. r, The flange
board next 20 cow is seven Inches
wide. being just ten inches from top
to floor.
The opening of the manger at top
ought to he rs inches wide. AT this
point all feed, grain. silage, hay or
fodder is fed The last slat at bot
tom should he only six or seven inches
wide from the slanting back of man
ger, so that nothing but grain or cut
feed will pass into the 1S-inch trough.
The cows are tied with the common
swivel tie chain. The partitions for
thestalls are three feet six inches long
and four feet high: width of stall, three
feet two inches from center to center.
The partitions do not follow through
past the five-foot post to the slanting
back of the manger higher than one
foot above the fed trough. This is
done so that green corn or corn stover
can be fed more easily, which to many
farmers is an item. The feed bin is
an adjunct which many have attached
and run the full length of the feed
alley with door to door, as shown.
This feature saves many steps in a
whole winters feeding and holds a
large quantity of feed.-George +.
Scott, in Orange Judd Farmer.

The potato has been in cultivation in
civilized countries for less than 400
years, says recent writer. 1t was
brought over to Europe by the Spanish
when they were colonizing America. in
1859. 1t was introduced into Ireland
in 1885 or 1856 by Sir Walter Raleigh,
when some Of his colonists were return
ing TO Ireland from California or Nir-
ginia, after which IL was used by the
poorer class of the Irish as one of their
articles of diet. But it was not until
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
fury that the potato came into gen.
eral use; that is. about $50 years ago.
and the great acreage devoted TO this
crop to-day has been developed since
that time. 1t appears that during the
latter part of the eighteenth century a
famine in Scotland caused the potato
to be very largely grown there, and
this made Its use become more general.

THE WILD PERSIMMON.
1t Is Fine Fruit whose Improve
ment Is Being Urged by South
ern Observation-Disclosures.

If indica tions are of value, the per-
simmon is TO receive more attention
in the future than it has in the past.
The American wild persimmon has
long been well known and talked and
written about, but no systematic at
tempt has been made to develop it..
The introduction of japanese persim-
mons has perhaps stimulated interest
in this fruit and has led to an investi-
cation being started by the Tennessee
experiment station as to the possibili-
ties locked up in both the foreign and
native persimmons. The persimmon
has wide range of growth. 1t is
found as far north as southern Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio, as well as in
Pennsylvania. 1t also grows at least
so miles north of New York city.
Southwark it grows anywhere on
American soil and is raised from Flor
ida to Texas. That the tree is hardy
is well known. Within the last two
seasons the fruit has begun to appear
in the Chicago markets and is not in
frequently met with now in the exhi-
billions of our horticultural societies,
and II also appears at some OF our
state fairs. The interest in it is on the
crease.--Farmers' Review.

PERFECT cow STALL.
After IA Test of seven Years Its De-
signer Considers IL the Hest
Thing of It's Kind.

There is nothing about the dairy
barn that requires so much care and
ingenuity as the construction of COW
stalls. Contemplating the wisdom Of
an invention that would give not only
perfect comfort to dairy animals, but
insure perfect cleanliness, construct
ed one that has proved to be grand
success, after test OF seven years.
Since my stall appeared thousands OF
dairymen have placed them in their
dairy barns and where constructed
according to the plans shown in the
illustrations they have always given
feet satisfaction.
The construction is simple and the
plans easily followed. If carpenter
is employed see that he makes no

SETTING APPLE TREES.
Unless They Are Placed in Geometric
Order the Orchard Never Pre-
SCENTS Good Appearances.

In setting out young orchard il is
highly important that the trees be set
exactly in geometric order, exactly in
line with each other in two directions.
An orchard presents Il much more at
tractiye appearance if care is exercised
in this direction. and the looks of an
orchard prove to be an important fac
tor if n time comes when ii is desired to
sell the orchard.
Now one cannot set trees in a per-
feet line by sighting along the lire Of
trees as they are set out. The tops OBJ

out of line. Setting out stakes before
hand will not answer, since each stake
must be taken up in order to dig hole.
An excellent plan is shown in the cut.
Set out small stakes in the exact spot
where each tree is to stand. Make a
light tripod, as is shown in the cut,
with a cord and weight, arranged as
shown. Set the tripod over the stake
so that the weight at the end of the
cord will be exactly over the stake.
Now pull up the stake and dig the hole
for the tree, without moving the tri-
pod. Set the tree so that when the
weight is lowered it will touch the
trunk. In this way every tree will
stand finally in the exact position of
the row of stakes first set ut.-Amer-
