It Is dinicuit to understand what pur-
pose General Msrcisr had In view when
he delivered his speech In the French As
sembly ON the possibility OF invading
England. unless 1t was simply 10 get
himself talked about. IL that was his
object, no doubt his speech VIII be n
great success. such differences is not with
out danger, however, especially among
people like the Frsnch. notwithstanding
it seems only absurd at this distance.
One way, and frequently very success
ful way, to rouse the war feeling, is to
talk about war and picture the possibili-
ties OF glory there are In 1t. The French
are already much inoensed against tne
Englisn, because OF various affairs, such
as Fashoda and the continued occupa-
ton OF Egypt by British arms. and APP
pesls TO their martial ardor are not with
~ s1me danger of doing something mrrs
than stirring up momentary sensation.

Most Of US have been brought up on

position taken by NJ. f.. }. Kelley when
making a Flea For the Stepmother' in
The Woman's Home Companion. We
have imbibed with our earliest drafts OF
literature the notion that stepmothers
are all wicked and cruel tends. The nov
elists of later date. taking their cue from
the fairy stories. have elaborated on this
assumption until the very name Of step
mother carries with it suggestion of
cruelty and oppression. We find it quite
credible that when the sweetest girl of
our acquaintance becomes II stepmother
She will feed her own babies Oh angel
cake and make the dead wife's children
get on with plain brown bread. We are
shocked. OF course. but we expect all man
ner OF atrUcions things from stepmothers.
The stepmothcrs side of the ease is
never heard. 1t seems to be the first
wife's friends who rush into print al
ways. AS rule. too they are the ones
who stir up trouble in the first place be-
tween the children and their stepmother

When talking about Strpmothers, howev-

mothers who stand ont hruvciy in the
pages of more than me biography. There
was that remarkable family to which
Maria Edgrwuith belonged. with its
more than 20 children and two stepmoth-
ers. Their father had been married three

Packing Sflace.


The item of greatest Importance in
packing silage is to have silo that will
not allow carbonic acid gas to escape
says Hoard's Dairyman. This gas will
go wherever water will 60, and our
silo should be tight enough in all it's
joints to hold water. 1Silage would spoil
very soon ifSit* were not for the fact
that in it's first fermentationr carbonic
acid gas is formed, which, being heav-
Ter than the air, displaces it, just as
pouring water into barrel expels the
air. Without air, fermentation cannot
proceed. and hence as long as this gas
is retained in the silo further fermen-
tation is impossible. So, too, after the
silage is firmly compacted by settling,
it is impossible for the air to strike
into the mass beyond few inches at
most. unless there are, as there is most
likely to be, some portions where the
settling has not been uniform and COM
plete. To prevent this as much as pos
sible we keep the silage highest next to
the sides and partitions and tramp it
down as much as possible. If one has
any cheaper material than the green
corn, it is advisable to cover the top Of
the silage with it, as otherwise, by rea-
son of exposure to the air, several inch
es in depth on the top will be spoiled.

There is nothing about the dairy
barn that requires so much care and
ingenuity as the construction of COW
stalls, says George E. Scott in The
American Agriculturist. Contemplate
ing ths wisdom of an invention that
would give not only perfect comfort to
dairy animals, but insure perfect clean
illness, constructed one that has PROV
ed to be a grand success after a test
of seven years. Since my stall appear
ed thousands of dairymen have placed
them in their dairy barns and where
constructed according to the plans
shown in the illustrations have always
given perfect satisfaction.
The construction is simple and the
plans easily followed. If a carpenter
is employed. see that he makes no
changes, as any deviation will result
in running the whole plan. The plat
form is made Of inch oak doubled, with
broken joints and a two inch fall at
ditch. This platform may be made of
cement instead of plank or boards. The
ditch should be made water tight.

PERFECT COW STALL.

16 inches wide, 8 inches deep at plat
form and { inches at walk has given
us the greatest satisfa ction.
We find that a platform 6 feet inch
es from ditch to the piece across the
front Of the stall is just right for cow
weighing 1000 pounds. For shorter
cows decrease the length, the idea be-
ing to fence the cow back to the ditch
SO that all her weddings will fall into
the latter, which insures a clean ami
NAL. For the managers | use two by 3
studding and lay them full length of
stalls, so that the feed trough will be
IS inches wide and inches above plat
form after placing tight bottom Of
either an IS inch board or matched
flooring. The fange board next to COW
is Z inches wide, being just 10 inches
from top to floor.
The opening Of the manger at the top
ought to be Is inches wide. At this
point all feed, grain, silage, hay or fod-
der is fed. The last slat at the bot
tom should be only or inches wide
from the slanting back of the manger,
so that nothing but grain or cut feed
will pass into the Is inch trough. The
cows are tied with a common swivel
tie chain. The partitions for the stalls
are 3 feet inches long and 4 feet wide
and width Of stall feet 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 feed
trough. This is done so that green
corn Or corn slower 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 whole winters feeding
and holds large quantity Of feed.
