Whole Corn in the Silo.

1t is claimed that when the ensilaga
corn is good enough to yield from sew
enty to ninety bushels of ears to the
acre that is as much corn az needs to
be fed with it, and the grain ration
should be bran, middlings or oats.
When it is less than this, cornmeal
should be added. But something de-
ponds upon the dry fodder used with
it. With corn slower or timothy hay
use more of the gluten or middlings
than when clover hay is used. With
clover hay to furnish protein more
corn may be used to supply the car
bonaceous or heating food, while timo-
thy and corn slower lack the protein
that is found in the middlings, bran
or gluten meal. If the barn is cold or
the cattle are much out of doors, more
corn is required to keep up the heat in
the system and prevent it consuming

New German Building Material.

Under the name of Geramo, a new
building material, composed princi-
pally of glass, and manufactured at
Penzig, in Silesia, has been placed on
the German market. AS far as known
this material is made from powdered
glass waste, which is hardened by a
special devitrifying process and COM
bined by means of strong pressure.
In this way the transparency, brittle
ness and fragility of the glass are de-
stroyed, but other prominent proper

ty against exposure to the weather,
non-conduction of heat, non-infamma-

No fur seems quite so soft and fine
and poetic to the average woman as
chinchilla. It has all the impractical
attributes to recommend it to the
elegante. Its color is so delicate that
it soils quickly, and thus it is con-
slant care and expense. 1t is so soft
and fine that the slightest i'll usage
ruins it forever. 1t is expensive and
fine pieces are difficult to buy even if
one is willing and able to pay exorbi-
tant prices It is not as costly as
sable, it's true. but it does not last so
well, so the scales are pretty evenly
balanced.
Taking all these things into con-
sideration is it not painful to hear the
chinchilla called brutally "a little ro-
dent" to trap which the Imcha and
Amana Indians of the Bolivian Andes
devote the best part of their lives?
This rodent" looks something like a
squirrel and also Ikea rabbit" and likes
high mountains. 1t prefers elevations
of from COCO to 10000 feet. The In
dams trap these creatures at night
and the skins are handed over to the
chief of the tribe, who disposes Of
them and divides the proceeds among
the tribesmen. One chief received
$4,000 at a single sale few months
ago. These Indians, besides trapping
chinchiltas, go to church, drink potato

Chicken Fattening.

Bulletin siXty-four, of the Maine sta
ton. contains an account of expert
ments in fattening chickens for mar
ket and the egg record of the breeding
pens for 1899. The result of the fat
tening experiments show larger total
and individual gains and cheaper flesh
production in the case of chickens with
partial liberty. The custom commonly
practiced by English and French
chicken fatteners of combining the
birds in small coOps was found more
troublesome and less profitable than
maintaining them in small tlocks with
restricted runs.
The age at which fattening begins Is
very important Chickens twenty
weeks old gained one and half
pounds in three weeks, while chickens
twenty-five weeks old gained less than
one pound in the same length of time.
1t required eight pounds Of grain mix
re to produce a pound of gain in live
weight with the older birds, and less
.thcl six pounds i'll the case of. the
younger birds.

Many wise people have exclaimed:
Children need discipline True, and
yet with young children to avoid
conflict is often the best way to man
age. Their opposition to plan of pro
cedure is overcome and yet they
scarcely know it.
A dear young girl relative to an
overtaxed mother, volunteered one
evening to put the overtaxed mothers
little ones to bed. 1t was a mild even
ing in spring. A little four-year-old
boy, who in the winter had had his
bed warmed with a lot brick. cried
out. Il want brick! ] want brickt'
The child sleepy and tired, was in no
mood to hear opposition nor even to
hear reason. The amiable young vol
unteer nurse seemed to understand all
this, and very gently she said: well,
you may have a brick" Then going
to the closet where she knew the cold,
brick was kept, she took it and
wrapped it up and laid it at the foot
of the child's crib; and the little fell
low went to sleep contentedly.
A woman who loves children and
loves to see them happy, took two lir-
tie brothers, her friends children, to
their bed chamber to superintend their
going to rest. The elder boy kneeled
down and said his prayers AT this
the younger -four years younger than
his brother) began to cry. because
Elmer had said his prayers first. The
mother was not at hand, and the good
friend was at first perplexed, but,
Frightening up after a moments
thought, she said: We'll fix that;
Dudley may kneel down and say his
prayers, and then Elmer may say his
over again" This was satisfactory to
the beligerent one. and peace reigned
where a storm threatened to disturb
the scene.
A little two-year-old demanded more
salt on her food. The father, by
whose side she sat, shook saltceller
over the baby's plate, taking pains to
not invert it. It was amusing to see
the contented mien of the child after
the performance. Surely it was better

Root Rot of Apple Trees.

Root rot L name given by cruit
growers TO root disease which on ac,
count of its depredations III certain
parts Of the Vest has attracted grea,
deal of attention during the last few
years. This disease may be recognized
both by its effect upon the trees, the
leaves of an affected tree shriVelling
and the tree dying rapidly, and also by
the appearance OF the roots themselves.
The roots are covered by white
layer Of the fungus medium and also
black strands, which latter are very
characteristic. The exact fungus
winch causes this disease is not known
and ON all the affected roots | have
found several fungi present. | suspect
that possibly this fungus when deter
miued will prove to be the same as a
fungus very common in both Europe
and America, the Agaricus melleus or
honey mushroom. This fungus is 4

fact that these salts combine with ele-
