SCHOOL CLOSED
The Teacher Injured in a Run

To Have Gone Insane.

In October, 1895, one Monday morning
the Rushford school did not open and it
was reported that the teacher had gone
insane. The physician in attendance
pronounced the trouble nervous prostra-
ton and said that school work was men
tally and physically impossible. The
teacher, who is now Mrs. L. A Gullick-
son, of Rushford, Mimi, i'll a recent in

BIG PROFIT IN CHERRIES.
Dark Varieties the Money Makers,
With Windsor In the Lead.

Dark Varieties the Money Makers,
With Windsor In the Lead.
The best sweet cherries | have seen
south of central New York are along
the fences where the cultivator has not
disturbed them. In northern Delaware
there are several famous sweet cher
ries In the fence rows and corners but
nearly all Of the orchards that | have
seen In which modern cultivation meth
DDS are attempted have been failures.
In central and eastern New York the
sweet cherry has to be kept on medium
thin land. My father has young or
chard that Is booming on land that
would be considered poor for farming
purposes, but the trees respond there to
tillage.
The sour cherries will probably do
best under high culture. While they
grow well along the fences, they need
more moisture than the sweet varieties
and pay well under the best treatment.
The dark kinds are the money max
ers. Black Tartarian, Black Eagle.
Windsor and Dikeman are the leading
sorts at home. There is big money in
Windsor, and If Dikeman turns out as
we expect it there ought to be more in
1t.
Sometimes the sweet cherry needs
lime and dies for want of it, Some
kinds need it more than others. Tarta-
rian, | believe is one of them. Thus
writes Professor G. II. Powell to Rural
New Yorker.

FOR SMALL INVESTORS.
Patience and Push the Sure Way TO
Profitable Poultry Business.

Poultry and egg raising is eminently
adapted to the person with small capt.
tai who IS anxious that the Investment
pay without running too great risk.
One may begin In the most humble
way in poultry raising, and then gradu-
ally Increase the size of the plant as
conditions warrant 1t IS really case
Of learning business while slowly in
vesting capital in 1t. And this Is really
the best aud most sensible way of APP
proachine the business To start in
with all the capital invested at first,
and then learn later by bitter expert
enee, IS just the way to get diseour-
aged and find that there is no money
10 the business.
With the smallest amount Of capital
one can go into the business. especially
If there is suitable place at hand for
the work. One can rent small poul-
try farm and then learn by experience,
even raising fruits and vegetables the
first few years to help pay the expenses
of living. Ultimately. however, the
ambition should be placed on chicken
and egg raising for the purpose of mas
tering it as a speciality.
Let one begin with 30 hens and find
out the first season what can be done
with that number. From this stock he
can prepare his next seasons increase
without further calling upon his capt.
tai. BY method of exchange of eggs
with neighbors near or distant new
blood can be introduced. and there will
not be much danger of close inbreeding.
In many places there IS a regular
system of exchange of eggs in this way,
and at very little expense new breeds
are constantly being added. From the
80 hens of the first season the flock
can be increased to 200 for the second.
If you have been successful with the
80, you are probably prepared the sec
ond year to handle 200, especially II
proper houses and yards have been pre-
pared in advance. That is very essen
tial, and throughout the whole devel-
opment of the business never neglect
to increase the quarters of the hens
and chickens in proportion to their in
crease in numbers.
With plenty of accommodations and
fair success the second year the begin
ner might well increase his stock to
500 for the third year. The fourth
year he might go up to 700 or 500 and
the fifth season round out the business
with an even LOCO. When you have
reached that number, the plant Is q
pretty good sized one, and its further
increase must be made gradually. There
are poultry farms of 5000 and 10000
hens, but the owners have learned by
careful experience how to handle such
numbers in the most economical way.
Any beginner, of course, can grow up
to such proportions If he has the push
and go and the good business common
sense which enables him to raise and
sell to the best possible advantage,
concludes an American Cultivator cor
respondent.

About SilOs.

Following are articles that appear In
the Board of Agriculture bulletin relat-
ing to silos, written by Somerset County
farmers:
ANSoN-Farmers continue to take an
interest in slos. Some are building who
have been holding off to make sure they
had come To stay, others are putting in
the second one. Farmers who have no
faith in the slo are hard TO find. Quite
large proportion Of those who raise
corn for ensilage put it into the pit
whole, thinking the expense of cutting
more than offsets the advantage to be
derived. Owing to the expense OF hoe
ing, | do all the wedding with cultiva-
tors, but there are more weeds among
the corn than Is to the credit of a good
farmer. grow mostly the large variety,
as it shades the ground and prevents TO
some extent the growth of weeds. The
fodder is cut three-eighths of an inch IN
length, so the size is no objection.
GEO. FLINT.
RIPLEY-The season has been quite
favorable for the growth of all crops.
The hay crop will be better than last
year, but owing to the severe drought of
the past two years not up to a full crop.
Apples blossomed fairly we'll, but some
varieties blighted quite badly, while
others set fairly well. There are several
silos in this vicinity, aud the number in
creases each year. have been quite
we'll satisfied with sowing enslage corn
broadcast at the rate of two bushels per
acre and drying the odder. VIM HoYT.
CORNvILLE-I have had no experience
with silos. To have or not to have one
is still the question. 1t is not clear to
me that every farmer ought to have
silo. There may be adverse conditions
which are not met by real benefits. The
product of the silo Is not a natural pro
duct and for continuous feeding do no.
think it Is a healthful food. Packing
green heritage into large box, so thai
chemical changes are induced, increases
in no way the nutritive elements of the
substances, and the process of fermen-
tation lessons the feeding value because
the sugar is turned to an acid. II were
about to build silo 1t would be difficult,
with my present information, to decide
whether to build it square, rectangular,
octagonal or round; whether to build of
wood, stone, brick or iron.

A SWARM CATCHER.

graph wire Is about right. Next take
a piece of burlap and sew into bag
shape. then sew the wire ring into the
mouth of the bag and fasten it into the
crotched stick SO 1t will swivel. and the
Geyice is ready for use. 1t is well to
have on hand one or two poles of differ
ent lengths and two short straps with
which to unite them.
This device will reach a swarm 30
feet from the ground. The great fea-
ture of it is its lightness, and no matter
at what angle the pole is held the bag
is always perpendicular. To hive a
swarm whose queen is at large with
the bees. bring the swarm catcher
right up under the cluster and give it
a sharp jerk upward and the cluster
will drop from the limb right into the
mouth of the catcher. Carry to the
hive and turn the bag inside out and
the bees will drop in front of the hive
and run into It.
