Representative Gilchrist's bill to
define the liability of railroad COM
panies with reference to damages u
tanned by their employees through &C
cidents, reads:
"That every railroad corporation,
owning or operating a railroad in this
state, shall be liable for all damages
sustained by any agent or servant
thereof. while engaged in the work of
operating such railroad, by reason Of
the negligence Of any other agent OF
servant thereof; provided, that it may
be shown in defense, that the person
injured was guilty of negligence, con-
tributing as an approximate u to
produce the injury"
The bill, notice of which was given
by Jensen Of Cascade county, provides
that whenever, before the passage of
this act, any legislative enactment
providing for the levying Of taxes for
the maintenance of schools, has been
found to be imperative and the tax
levied in any district was uncollecti-
BILE, making it necessary for the trus-
tees of a district to borrow money to
maintain school, the trustee shall be
empowered to. raise money to repay
such loans with interest Of 6 per cent
on all the taxable property Of the dis
trict.
The bill provides that the trustees
of any district thus affected, shall as
certain the correct amount of the in
debtedness and file a certificate with
the county clerk, requesting the coun-
ty commissioners to make a special
levy of taxes for the amount. 1t is
then made the duty of the commits
sioners to make the levy and the
treasurer of the county must place the
money at the disposal of the trustees
to cancel the indebtedness.

1t is doubtful which feels himself
more aggrieved. the man whose hens
won't sit when he wants them to or
the man whose hens persist in sitting
when he doesn't want them to sit
Whichever is worse a word of caution
may well be spoken to the way the
birds are handled. If persons would
stop to think that for hens to sit is
quite as natural as for them to lay
and indeed it oftentimes seems more
natural-they would hardly, as reason
able beings, subject the birds to such
inhuman treatment as is often resorted
to in the effort to stop their desire to
sit. 4 person who deliberately uses
harsh and cruel means or roughly han
dies such hens is not fit to have the

HOW WE MARKET FRUIT.

Why Not Accommodate the Consume
er?-A Hint From Foreigners.
A few weeks ago there came to my
place two bright young men from Bel
GUM, graduates from university,
who had been travelling over our states
for six months visiting our transporta
ton industries. They had money and
leisure and intended to locate here, and
they had decided that the fruit indus
try offered the greatest inducement of
anything they had discovered in Amer
lea. They criticised some of our meth
DDS. They said to me:
zone trouble is you place your stuff
in the market at any place at all,
whether it is overloaded OF not, and
then, too, you put it in barrel. If 1
want to buy an apple, l buy two for
or three for 10 cents. l pay $40
barrel at that rate, but l can buy the
whole barrel at $1.T5 to So. But if you
are staying at a hotel you don't have
any room for that much You force
a family to buy barrel. and the way
they have of living in flats and all that
sort of thing you have 10 place to put
them unless they are put under the
bed, and that is not good place to
put apples. And then if you buy Il
small quantity you pay an extrava-
CANT price"
1t seems to me the one great business
point in our fruit market today is the
lack of putting the fruit up properly,
that our peach package of five-eighth
or one-half bushel is pretty large for
family consumption, therefore they are
dumped on the stands. A member of
the family goes and buys a quart or
two and thinks he has done his duty.
We curtail the consumption Of our
fruits when we put them in basket
SO large that it has to be broken. We
may also curtail it by using too small
a basket The question to be thought
out and planned out is the largest pos
sible limit we can sell our productions.
| have spoken to you about the neces-
sity of growing fine fruit There is not
going to be any room in little while
for the man who grows inferior fruit
nor for the man who packs fruit dis
honestly or carelessly, says j. II. Hale
of Connecticut.

The dairy barn on the Watson ranch
five miles west of Kearney, Neb., has
number of conveniences, says Prairie
Farmer. This ranch comprises 5000
acres, some 5000 acres of valley land
and about 1900 acres of rolling foot
hills and table lands. Something more
than 1000 acres are at this time in al
falfa. This yields such an amount of
valuable forage that the ranch seems
well suited to dairying. Mr.. Fl. d.
Watson, the proprietor. awaited himself
of the natural advantages of hillside
sloping to the valley, to erect at
comparatively moderate expense very
large bank barn, so constructed as to
enable the work of handling forage and
live stock to be done by more conven-
lent methods than usually seen in
plants of this character. The barn is
06 feet In width, 256 feet in length,
which in this case we might call depth,
as it reaches back into the side hill,
and the main portion of the barn is SO
feet In height. Back of this in hill is
a silo 80 feet deep. GO feet long. with all
average width of 80 feet, constructed to
contain 1880 tons of silage. Above
and to the south of this is supply
tank 81 feet long. 20 feet wide. 10 feet
deep. This tank is supplied by three
tubular wells 1856 feet deep from which
water is pumped by three strong wind
mills.
This tank, being located on the high
est point, supplies water for watering
the stock and for flushing cutters be-
hind the lines of cows and flushing the
sewers. Liquid manure is conducted
by sewer down to the level of the val
ley, where it is received in an immense
tank and can be by gravity conducted
over contiguous lands or by water carts

The stable is constructed with view
to accommodating $50 head of cows.

Merit In Farm separators.

The increased value of skimmilll
direct from the separator when fed to
pigs or calves will in a very short time
make large payment on the machine.
Then, too, the very best butter is made
from cream direct from the separator
This was shown at the recent creamery
butter makers show at st. Paul, where
the first prize butter, scoring 971a
points. was made at creamery
where 10 per cent of the cream
came from the farm separator. The
separator saves work in the house
and is much easier to clean than lot
of sour cans or pans. 1t requires but
little room and does away with han
ding a lot of ice to cool the milk In
July and August, when it is almost i'm
possible to get good cream or make
good butter by gravity methods. the
separator works as usual, and by
proper handling of the cream as good
butter can be made as during cooler
weather.

central part comes handy as place in
which to store small tools or wagons

A floor may be laid on level with

large amount of valuable storage room.
In boarding up the sides leave space
of about w inches between the boards.
This will facilitate the drying of the
corn. Frequently more slant is given
to the outside walls than is shown in
the illustration. This is somewhat a
matter of taste. A corncrib built with

took them up as salad relishes, and
the swells fancied them, and now any
quantity of them are sold
The picture of this citrus fruit is
taken from one of a specimen which
The Rural New Yorker grew on its
grounds under the most ordinary con-
ditions. The journal mentioned says
further:
The Kumquat is q native of southern
China and forms Il large bush or small
tree when grown on its own roots in a
locality free from frost 1t is extensive
ly cultivated i'll Japan and has lately
been planted in considerable quantity
in Florida and California.
The little fruits are much priced for
preserving and are eaten fresh to a
large extent. A sweet gelatinous lay
er is found between the sour central
pulp and the thin, pleasantly favored
rind and forms an agreeable combina-
ton when the fruit is eaten whole.
Two varieties are grown, one having
round fruits and somewhat thorny
branches and the other plum shaped
fruits an inch in diameter and IL to 2
inches long. The trees bearing the
oval or plum shaped fruits are almost
thornless. For pot culture Kumquats
are grated on hardy orange Citrus
trifoliata) stocks, wrich dwarfs them
very much and is said to render them
harder when grown in the open.
Little trees less than two feet high
bear as many as 100 fruits, which
come to full maturity and favor in a
window or under glass if given plenty
of sunlight and a temperature sutti-
cient to keep geraniums in a growing
condition. They require about the
same treatment as the dwarf orange,
but those grated or budded on hardy
stocks often become quite dormant
after fruiting and can be stored in Il
light. frost proof cellar until spring if
the soil about the roots is kept mod
erately moist.
During the Towering period, in June
or July. the trees should be placed
outside. so that bees and other insects
can have access to the blooms and in
sure polarization. II plunged in ashes
or other sharp material and faithfully
watered, these dwarfed citrus plants
may well spend the summer out in the
sunshine. but should be taken inside
before the nights turn very chilly, es-
pecially if we'll set with fruits.

IN A GARDEN.
The Excellent Japanese Cucumber.
Second Crop Bush Beans.

Cucumbers.-The japanese variety
will be found excellent for small gar
dens, as the quality is of the best and
little space will be required. They will
readily Chamber over a slanting trellis
or grow nearly upright by occasionally
tying the vines to the Stats with coarse
Irvine or strips of cloth. A few hills
will supply the family needs nearly the
entire season through If well watered
and care be exercised in avoiding too
large a growth of the fruits. By no
means allow them to ripen the seeds,
as this will soon destroy the vines.
The greater part of the main crop
will, according to location, be planted
from June l to the first week in July.
They are best planted in hills five feet
apart, or they succeed nicely sown in
drills on slightly raised ridges six feet
apart. A plentiful supply Of well rot
ted manure should be worked into the
hill or drill and shallow but thorough
cultivation continued as long as the
growth of vines permits.
TO prolong the bearing season care
must be exercised in picking not to in
jure the vines, and the fruits should be
gothered just as rapidly as the size re-
quired for the various grades will ad-
nit. The chief insect enemy is the
striped beetle, and the best Rreventiyes
are strong vigorous plants and soil con-
ditions and culture that will promote
the most rapid possible growth of the
vines. The principal remedies are air
slaked lime, sifted coal ashes, land
plaster or equal parts wood ashes and
road dust freely applied in the morning
when the plants are wet with dew.
Tobacco dust is a good fertilizer as
well as insecticide and may be used to
advantage on all vines except water
melon, to which it is injurious and will
destroy the vines if used in large guam
titles. Spraying with bordeaux mix
ture is a preventive of disease, and
saltpeter and water, an ounce to the
gallon, if applied to the hills will be
found a wonderful invigorator to the
plants.
Bush Beans.-A plentiful supply of
the bush beans for family use may be
easily grown as second crop without
interference to other vegetables The
varieties are numerous and by judi
cious selections as to time of maturing
may be safely planted from May 10 up
to within so days of frost. Planted as
they may be between other crops
which are maturing in advance of
them, a constant supply of snap and
shell beans may be had from July 1 to
late fall.
Beets.-The late fall and winter
supply, either for home use or market,
are best not sown before June Is or lat
er, as overgrown stock is undesirable
for any purpose except breeding. They
will continue growth until late fall, and
the proper time will be determined
by the localities where grown. The
best results both as to quality and yield
will be obtained by later sowing and
depending upon thoroughly enriched
soil and intensive culture for crisp
quality and desirable size. The fore
going is a Michigan mans advice for
everybody's garden, given in Rural

men instead to so hayehpaded like the
Tagalo woman he wo,,id have confer
red an inestimable service on those
sensible enough to follow his sugges-
ton. White women. ventilate your
hair. ventilate your brains. and maybe
in the course Of the next century your
female descendants will have hair as
abundant and beautiful as every Taga-
10 woman now has. 1t comes precisely
because she does not wear bonnets.
Paris and other hats for women are
ugly enough sometimes to scare all the
hair off wonlan's head. At any rate,
it is certain that nature puts Il covering
upon our heads. and when we begin to
add more of our own She simply orders
that which she has put on TO slide off
and leave us. Spanish ladies in the
Philippines wear only lace scarfs upon
their heads. and their har is also thick
and pretty.
Which reminds me OF Landreth of
the isle of Jersey. Landreth of Jersey
was a letter carrier who had worn no
hat for 40 years. simply gone bare
headed. and, though he was past GO
years old and although mankind had
jibed him enough to turn him bald, yet
there was not a youth Of 20 in the is
land who had hair as heavy and beau
tiful as his-not Il gray thread in it.

down when empty. know of at least
six unmatched round silos that have
blown down in the last two years.
Cypress lumber is undoubtedly the
best lumber that grows for silo uses.
1t shrinks very little and warps scarce
~ at all.
The patent silo, if it be first class
one, is both cheaper and better than
any homemade one, no matter how we'll
built.
Not only are they cheaper, but if
bought from first class firm a patcnt
round stave silo is the best in the
world. Ensilage being such a heavy
product. the easy. economical handling
of it should be considered. With door
silo the plan usually followed is to have
about one-half of the front open. the
rest closed. This plan, of course. re-
quires much lifting as the ensilage is
being taken out. The most desira Bile
way is to have the silo of the continu-
GUS open front construction. whereby
the entire front can be opened up one
board at a time as the feeding from
the silo is being done. This makes the
door on a level with the feeding sur
face all the time, and to me this meth
cd seems to possess the greatest merit.
