UNNECESSARY WASTE.
The sum of Slight Failures and Small
Losses, All Preventsbie.


Considering causes of unnecessary
waste upon the average farm. a Coun-
try Gentleman writer says: Chief
among these with us this season Is loss
among hoed crops, due to hardness
with our spring wol K, In itself perhaps
n small loss. But what | mean to en-
phasize is that we should learn lessons
from the small losses and slight fail
ures of the season. We can only pro-
gress as we strive to do our work bet
ter next season than II was possible
for us to do this year The all wise
Creator seems not to be satisfied with
that which now is, but always wants
something better. Hence we are going
to make an everlasting resolve that our
spring work for the reception of grains
shall not be all done at that time, but
rather arranged for in the fall Tor the
present fall Our greensward to be
used for peas and the land for the oats
will be plowed, and then the prepare
ton of those fields In the spring, by
the use of the large V shaped cultiva-
tors. with all new parts, which cuts
the foul growth off clean. will be made
comparatively short. and the corn. po-
tatoes and cabbage can come In for
their proper share of attention and at
the right time.
The loss on the late potato crop OF
our county alone, caused by being a
little behind time, amounts to thou
sands of dollars, while fields planted
ten dpvs or two weeks earlier under
similar conditions proved all right.
Then If the wheat crop was so ma
terially lessened from the effects of the
insect and the newly discovered worm
these could be guarded against. The
sorts we have could be improved upon
by introducing some new varieties.
Great savings might thus be made. We
are sowing a new variety of red wheat
which was raised in close proximity to
the white, and this WAS highly salts
factory.
We incurred loss through many gal
Ions of kerosene in combating the
much dreaded pear psylla. when one
application of whale oil soap solution
at the proper time would have been
much more effectual and would have
caused less injury to the trees. But
we expect to profit. by our failures.
Now, II the many who have been
sorely troubled to provide food for
their live stock on account of the pro-
tracted drought will experiment lit
tie with Dwarf Essex rape and alfalfa
am certain that their efforts will be
well rewarded. We sowed a five acre
plot, and 1t has furnished us a great
amount of feed for store cattle through
the long drought at time when every
thing else seemed to be sizzling In the
sun.

In his palmy, beautiful days almost

and there were very mary of bis acts.
One that will appeal particularly to

II Is true Of all theatrical management
that there Is always rivalry between
the man ahead of the show and the
man back with the show az to which
will be the whole thing. After these
two men had been on the road with
the company for several weeks n
strong rivalry grew up, and the man
ahead of the show billed himself on
the programmes as manager and the
other as agent or course the reduced

The Next Seasons Work.

The plans for the work for next year
should be made after due consideration
before the hurry of work begins One OF
the first things to study is to learn the
crops that are best adapted to the diff
ferent fields. and scarcely less important
is TO learn the probable demands of the
market. Do not be in haste to plant
largely of those which seemed to sell at
the highest prices and paid the greatest
profit last year There are so many who
do that that there may be an oyersupply
and low prices the next year. And in
planning the work it is well, if there is
need of hired help. to be early on the
lookout for the best, rather than to wait
and take the cheapest. who too often
leave their wages behind them" as the
saying is. in work neglected or not prop
erly done, in waste and break ,ge, and in
animals uncared for or abused.

ed. The cribs may be made from six
to eight feet wide and of any desired
length. For 1000 bushels of corn In
the ear the building should be 40 feet
long with cribs feet wide and IL feet
high. In building this one should use
by timber for sills and 2 by 8 joist.
The floor is made Of by laid a half
inch apart so as to admit the free cir
culation of air among the corn. The
studdng should be 2 by 6 set three feet
on centers, with by 4 girts notched
into the studding. The ends of this
building are sided with seven-eighth
inch matched drop siding put on hort
zontally except the gable, which is put
on vertically with the ends notched. as
shown in cut The sides are covered
with / by 3 inch strips set half inch
apart and are put on vertically. The
space between the cribs Is II feet wide
and Is closed inside from the bottom Of
the cribs to ground, forming an inside
shed which Is not accessible to any
farm animals. This inner shed Is clos
ed by rolling doors at each end. The
cribs are boarded up inside the shed
with three inch strips placed horizon
tally half inch apart to admit air,
and by opening the doors free clrcula-
ton of air can be obtained In fine
weather.
The shed Is foored over above. form
ing an apartment IL feet wide by 40
feet long for storage of corn. A trap
door may be made in this floor to hand
up corn from below. The shed between
the cribs will make splendid store
house for implements. AS many doors
may be made In the cribs as desired.
says writer in the Ohio Farmer, who
also gives the following suggestions
about keeping crops:
When roots are properly PVT away in
pits, they keep better than when stor
ed In cellars, especially seed potatoes
that one wants to use for late planting
The difficulties In the way of keeping
roots In pits are the danger that frost
will penetrate the covering and the
risk of heating for want of ventilation.
BY the use of board coverings or shut
tiers these difficulties may with care be
wholly removed. The board coverings
may be made of a length to cover one
side of the pitt a by 6 feet will be
found a handy size. Any rough, cheap
boards will answer the purpose. These
may be cut into the required length
and nailed to crosspleces made of by
9 joist placed edgeways, as shown in
the cut.
When the roots are heaped In the
usual manner and covering of straw
eight or nine inches thick placed up
and down on the heaps. the boards or
shutters are laid on the straw so that
they nearly meet on the top. Space Is
left through which the ends of the
straw project The straw is turned
down over the edges of the boards
when the dirt Is thrown on them. The
boards are placed upon the straw with
the cleats down so that they lie hori-
zontally. There Is then an air space of
six inches between the thickness of
straw as protection to the root.
In addition there may be as thick a
covering of earth thrown upon the
boards as may be required. In most
places six to ten inches will be needed.
The Somerset reporter., 1901-01-17

ROOT PIT.

Earth will always be needed and Is
useful In keeping the roots at an even
temperature. and SO low that they will
not sprout or heat. A few places In the
top of the heap should be left with the
straw pulled up through the earth, as
shown at A and B in the cut. These
places should be left uncovered for
ventilation. This pit may be opened at
any time during the winter. In moder
ate weather. and when stock of roots
has been taken out sufficient to last a
week 1t may be closed again.

The MntIlated Bill swindIe,

The antiquity of a swindle rarely
interferes with It's success II 1t be
skillfully managed, else one confidence
game that has recently been playeJ
here protitably would never have been
revived. 1t depends on The practice OF
the United States government In re-
deemlng any part of torn bill for the
amount of money it represents. The
value of part of a bill is very exactly
determined by means Of an apparatus
which measures the fragment of the
bin with the greatest accuracy. This
mechanism prevents anybody from get
ting In return for part of torn bill
any more than 1t Is really worth.
That fact Is not generally known,
and 1t Is the ignorance of the public
In the matter that has lately made
possible the success of well dressed
swindler who has been operating down
town. He has with him parts of $40
bill bearing the bill number He ex-
plains to walters, barkeepers, cashiers
and similar persons that he Is too busy
to go to the subtreasury and redeem
the bill for which he could secure the
full value. He offers for that reason
to dispose Of the torn piece for small
sum and has succeeded In getting from
IS to 81 for fragments of a bill that
could never be redeemed for more than
half those sums.
The purchasers, of course, had conf
dence in the mistaken theory that the
full value of bill would be paid at
the treasury for any part of it, how
ever small the section might be. By
dividing $40 bill into five or six pieces
and selling them on such liberal terms
this form of swindling may be made
very prottable.-New York Sun.
