1t has been observed hat artesian
wells have a daily period of ebb and

noticed on fine, cloudless evenings in

under it. As the sun sinks the arc
rises until it attains the zenith, and
even passes it. This is the shadow OF

CARE is NECESSARY.
the Preparai.rn nj Apples for Cold
Storage DeseF1rs aore Attention
Than 1t Now Receives.

In a paper read before the Nebraska
State Horticultural society Peter
YouHgers. Jr.. gave the result of expert
ments in keeping apples in cold storage.
He said: Fruit taken from storage
apd put upon the tables June l re-
tanned color and firmness for nearly
FIVE weeks.
All of this fruit was gathered and
placed in cold storage during the fall of
1897, most of ii during the month OF
October. I think a few VENT in as late
as December. Each apple was wrapped
first in a sheet of waXed paper. using
9x12-inch sheets for small apples and
12x12-inch sheets for large ones. Then
another covering of ommon newspa-
per was added and the apples carefully
packed in barrels, filing them up so as
to require considerable pressure to get
the heads in.
"They were stored in a cold storage
room at South Omaha, and the temper
allure did not vary over enc degree from
sc degrees from the time they were
placed in storage until they were re-
moved.
"All of the varieties were kept in the
same temperature and treated exactly
alike.
While some varieties (such as the
Walbridge and Sheriff. disappointed
us, still l am satisfied beyond a doubt
that wrapping first in waxed paper,
then in any common paper. is the best
method of packing apples for cold stor-
age. This double wrapping makes prac-
tically an air-tight cell for each apple,
thus preventing any spread of decay.
I'm order to test the matter. a few
barrels were placed in storage without
any wrapping whatever. The varieties
selected for this test were Ben Davis
and Wine Sap. They were placed in the
same storage o and received exact
~ the same treatment as the others,
yet fully 20 per cent. of them were de-
cayed when we took them out June 1.
Not only were they decayed. but
those remaining in a firm condition
were so badly discolored and had lost
flavor to such an extent as to render
them wholly unfit for either show or
market.
"A few of the same varieties were
wrapped simply in newspaper. not
using waXed sheets. OF these 30 per
cent. were in very poor condition June
i, while the same varieties. packed and
stored at the same time. using the
double wrapping of waxed sheets and
common paper, remained in almost per-
tect condition as late as November l."

WORD THEY COULDN'T SPELL.
School Director Stumped the Chill.
dren by Asking Them About
"Egg-Whipped."

In a nearby town that shall be
nameless there is a school director
who is gifted with great zeal. 1t is
the reproach of school directors hat
they are generally chosen more for
their political pull than scholastic
knowledge, and it is rumored hat
the majority ave had little acquaint-
ance with a schoolhouse beyond the
outside. This particular director ap-
peared to be an exception to the rule.
He was a frequent visitor to the
schools in his district; questioned the
teacher as to the progress of their
pupils, made little speeches to the
pupils, and in every way showed that
he was no figurehead. But one day
came his downfall, says the Chicago
Tribune.
He had made his usual little speech.
with Its little jokes hat children IN
derstand, and paid the usual compli-
ments to the teacher, which teachers
appreciate, and then he unfortunate
" undertook to air his own knowl-
edge.
Now, then" said he, "I am going
to give you a word to spell. I suppose
you are all good spellers?"
The children were unanimous on
that point, and the teacher nodded
approval.
Its a word you ought to have seen
many times" he continued, with a
kindly smile, but it's a pretty hard
one to spell. Egg-whipped."
That is the way it sounded to the
little pupils, and they evidently did
not recognize it. Each looked at the
other and there was silence. while the
teacher appeared somewhat amazed.
"'Come, now" said the director.
THAT ought to be plain enough. You
nave seen it often in your geog-
raphies."
More silence, and then one voice
piped up, timidly: "E-double-g, egg
whipt."
so. no." said the director, shaking
his head.
Another voice suggested egg
whipped" bue the director shook his
head again, this time sternly. The
teacher exhibited more symptoms OF
amazement.
Silence again, and then the director
said, kindly: ''Well I amt so much
surprised after all. because it's pretty
hard. Now, III show you how to spell
it. and / don't want you t ever for
get it,"
Then he walked to the blackboard
and with a piece of chalk, amid
breathless interest, printed in large
letters:

NOVELTY IN GRATING.
Texas Ho~rticuIturist Has Accom-
Dlished n Feat That Is Creating
Wonder Everywhere.

1t is well known that grating Tor
budding) cannot be done successfully
between the stone fruits (peach. cher
~. plum, etc. and those which have
their seeds inclosed in a core-the ap-
pie, pear and ounce. But here is a
Texas horticulturist. Col. Rosamon,
who claims he has found 1.-THE missing
link" (as he terms it). which will unite
all these. According to the National
Fruit Grower, this person states that
he has successfully grated both the
foregoing classes of fruits on the per-
simmon. This is certainly interesting,
if true, and the trial will not be diff
cult if one has the young persimmon
trees on which to experiment.
Our friends who reside in localities
where there are bearing persimmon
trees will do well TO gather the fruit
and ave the seeds. The planting
should be done seen after the fruit
ripens. or. if thai is not convenient,
the seeds can be kept in damp sand or
earth until spring and then planted.
Even if the grating is not satisfac-
tory. some valuable new varieties OF
the persimmon may be obtained from
the seed.

WHY THE SILO PAYS.
Some Truths Which, Although They
Are SeIf-Evident, CannOt Be
Repeated Too Often.

Until every farmer has a silo, it is in
order to preach the silo. so we beg
those who have silos to bear with us
if we seem to repeat self-evident truths.
Remember what an awful lot of preach
ing it takes to save a few sinners and
have patience, or, do better, help us to
spread the truth.
/. The silo stores away corr nor
safely and more permanently than any
other plan. Silage is practically fire
proof, and will keep in the silo indefi-
nite1y.
2. Corn can be made into silage at
less expense than it can be preserved
in any other form.
3. The silo preserves absolutely all
but the roots of the corn.
4. Silage can be made in the sun
shine or in rain. Unlike hay, it is in
dependent of the weather.
5. When corn is ready for the silo,
there is but little farm work pressing.
6. Corn is worth more to the dairy
as silage than in any other form.
z. At least o%ne-third more corn per
acre may be fed on silage than dried
corn, stalks and fodder.
s.. Corn is fed more conveniently as
silage than in any other form.
9. Silage is of more value when fed
in combination with other food richer
in protein. 1t is not a complete food.
10. Owing to its succulence and bulki-
ness, silage is the best known substi-
tute for green grass. and is. therefore,
especially valuable as a winter food

Cod Liver OIL for Calves.

American dairymen are well &C,
uuainted with the methods of enrich
ing skim milk for. calves by the addi-
ton of oil meal and the like. But ac-
.eording to recent reports the New
Zealanders are actually using in their
milk cod liver oil at the rate of two
ounces per calf per day. The report
says that where separator skim milk
is used the farmers have found it nee
essary to add something, especially
when the calves are to be grown into
beeves. Crude cod liver oil can be
bought in hat country for about IS
cents per gallon, and each gallon con-
tains 16O ounces of oil. This permits
them to feed we ounces per day for
a period of so days, after which the
use of the oil is discontinued.
