AN IMPROVED GRANARY.
Up-tO-Date StOrehOuse for Corn
Which Is Absolutely Safe from
EncrOachmentz by VermIn.

The dimensions of my granary-you
see have got past the corn crib period
entirely-are as follows: Length,
sills, Is feet; plates, 20 feet; width, IA
feet; total length of posts, IL feet;
height of floor from the ground, 3h
feet. These dimensions may vary, &C
cordlng to the amount of grain to be
stored. Wide strips of tin shield the
tops of the posts from the invasion of
rats and mice.
Inside the plan is as follows: Corn
in the back part, the crib running
across the end, and on each side row
of grain bins. These are arranged so
that the ends nearest the alley be-
tween, which is four feet wide, NAV be
removed in case they are not needed.
These empty bins afford store room for
a corn shelter, or for bran or other
feed. loose floor overhead also fur
nlshes space for putting away many
articles which might otherwise be cast
around anywhere. The inside is lined
with matched southern pine three
elghths thick. The outside is bat
tened, and the boards being surfaced
the whole is painted. The entire ex-
pense of this granary was not far from
SIS, and L have received the compli-
ment that it is the best job I have
done in the way of building, and have
spent small fortune in that line. In
fact, it pleases me exactly. l never
have seen but two mice in this gran
airy, and those carried in with empty
bags; and, as may be supposed, was
on nettles until they had been found
and settled with. Igot the cat as quick
as l could and entered upon the most
exciting hunt l ever took part in. 1t
beat the famous fox hunts of the city
folks who come out to kill time all
hollow. And L succeeded, which is
more than the city chaps who hunt
for the fun of the thing can often say.
In my granary 1 keep my corn
knives, corn ties and bags-every-
thing, in fact, that concerns corn and
garden stuff. The satisfaction of
knowing that what raise is now free

from the encroachments of vermin is
fully sufficient of itself to amply repay
all my trouble. But the return in dol.
lars and cents far surpasses ones be-
lief. If we could see the amount of
money which is wasted every year
through poor granaries all brought
together it would startle US. Every
farmer knows that he suffers serious
ly from year to year, but most of us
have come to take it as a matter of
course. But really it is one of the
leaks which help to sink the ship.-Ed-

and with his friends?' In some of these
letters made straight application for
positions, in others l asked advice re-

the question whether in selecting or

it was to their prejudice that they

ance companies, asking what risks they

erwards l learned that he was out Of
the city until some time later when he
told me that he still wanted to be repre-
sented, and would give me an answer.
In five days those 80 men had respond

knowledge of the others, and all the
same story. Not one had any time or
use for men in their business who

FELT SUSPICIOUS OF HIM.
Hospital Patient Was Uneasy Because
of an Undertaker's At
tentions.

Patients at Bellevue hospital are
not always destitute. Some of them
who are able to pay gain admittance
through a pull. 1t was a pull that
got one East side young man into one
of the surgical wards recently, says
the New York Sun.
He knew everyone about the hos
pitai, from the unpaid orderlies to
the superintendent, and he had polit-
zeal influence. Before going into the
institution he left liberal sum of
money with an undertaken in the
neighborhood with which to buy him
delicacies. Every day good, whole
some dishes were taken to him by
the runner for the undertaken.
The less fortunate patients in the
ward often looked at him with envy
when the smell of the food would re-
awaken their appetites deadened by
the coarse hospital fare.
On one occasion the runner was not
on hand when the patient sent for
some chicken fricassee and the I'M
dertaker himself carried in the dish.
He deposited it on a small table
alongside of the patients cot and
then left, saying he would call later.
Say, Gull, who's de swell bloke dat
Jis brot yer de feed?" asked one OF
the less fortunate patients from a
nearby cot
That's --, the undertaken up the
street, who is very close friend of
mine" said the patient, at the same
time devouring the meal with appar-
ent relish. There's more here than
l can eat, and if you don't mind I'll
split up with you" he continued.
The other patient answered that
he didn't care for any of the food,
much to the surprise of the well-to-
do patient, who sad
What's the matter with you? Have
you lost your appetite or won't the
doctor let you eatg'
The one to whom this was adj

HEAD OF CHEYENNES.
Mary Big Buffalo Assumes Leader
ship of Indian Tribe.
Although Only 30 Years of Age. She
Is Very Shrewd and Maintains
Her Power by Seemingly Oc-
cult Methods

Much pomp and several incidents
attended the ceremony of installing
Mary Big Buffalo chief of the Chey-
enne Indians, who live on a reserva-
ton in Oklahoma territory
Not only is Mary the first woman
ever appointed to rule an Indian
tribe, but she is also gifted with
power direct from the Great Spirit,
her tribesmen believe. Besides being
chosen to attend to all business of
the tribe, she will also act as chief
medicine man, or woman one should
say, for the handful of Cheyennes
who have survived the effects of wars
and civilization.
Mary Big Buffalo, now chief of the
Cheyennes, is a woman of much tact
and common sense. 1t was she who
started the plan to have all of her
people go to Mexico to live, and then
when she found that she was op-
posed in her plans by the United
States Indian agents, who were sure
to balk her scheme, she called the
Cheyennes together and told them
she had received a call from the
Great Spirit, and that he told her
to remain in the United States. So,
instead of showing her weakness to
the tribe, she only strengthened her
reputation.
Her installation, says the Chicago
American, took place on the reserva-
ton near Darlington. The valley is
covered with green grass, even in the
depth of winter, and the warm sun
beats down, making it most pleas
ant spot to live in.
Here for nearly week the whole
Cheyenne tribe lay in their tents
and enjoyed life.
Quite suddenly one night Big

GRADE UP THE FLOCK.
Start Right by Getting n Good r. COST
err, One That Has Been Bred
Right and Is Right.

Have you got that strong, vigorous
cockerel to grade up your flock, to in
crease the egg yield and build up the
size of the birds you sell to market?
1t is quite time the bird was in the
breedingp pen becoming acquainted with
his mates and preparing for the
springs duties.
1t is an old and familiar axiom that
the male is half the pen. He may be
mated to a dozen females, hence the
chicks have any one of dozen moth
ers, but he is the father of all and i'm
parts his vigor and personality to all
the chicks.
Not only should this head of the
family be a pure-bred male, but he
should be a bird of real merit, bred
with care and for a purpose. Such a
bird has the power to reproduce him
self and will certainly improve next
seasons flock. A well-bred cockerel.
one bred from meat producing and egg
laying ancestry, will decidedly inn
prove the laying qualities of the pullets
and increase the size as well.
1t is common mistake to breed from
anything left over from the holiday
killings, because nothing else is at
hand. Don't repeat that mistake this
year. Start right by getting a good
male bird, one that has been bred right
and is right; and his cost will be re-
turned to you many times over in the
laying vigor of his pullets and in
creased size of the chickens marketed.

be in various parts of the hotel on as
many errands at the time.
SHOW the senator his rooms,
Front" was the word.
The boy obeyed with alacrity, and
the elevator man performed his little
part with all due dignity. Showing
every required courtesy and service,
Front No. safely bestowed the dis
tinguished guest in his room and was
backing in the direction of the door
when the senator stopped him.
"Boy, bring up a bottle of whisky,
some water and glasses"
The shoulders of Front No 3
Strengthened almost imperceptibly,
and his eyes grew suddenly tense.
He had not planned for anything
quite like this. He had thought the
walters would be called upon for
anything of that sort. But here was
guest, a great man in the eyes of
the people of the district and state,
asking temperance boy for whisky,
and poor little Front No. % was
stunned little and dared not hest
tate.
The senator noticed the momen-
tary silence, and glancing up from a
letter he held in his hand, said, a bit
impatiently:
'Well, that's ALL"
The bell boy found his voice, and
"dared to be Daniel" yet again:
"Pm sorry, sir"
swell, sorry for what? What's the
matter-no whisky in the house? Or
what's the trouble? Out with it,"
Few boys could prevent themselves
from trembling in their shoes with a
difficulty of this sort presented them
and in such a presence. Front No.
trembled and looked sadly confused,
but he managed to lift his eyes as he
bravely said:
The trouble is, sir, I've made a
promise, and l can't break it if 1 lose
my place-no, not for the president
of the United States
1t was the senator's turn to be
somewhat astounded now, though he
laid aside his letter and gazed at the
boy with more curiosity than dis
pleasure in his face.
why, boy, what do you mean?
What are you here for in this hotel?

"Tell me why" temporized the SEN
ator, with something like amusement
on his face.
Front No. almost broke down at
this question, but he answered, half
sobbingly;
