sprouted if treated properly. If they
have become very dry, it is possible
that termination will be slow, or per-

right to cover the seeds.-Rural New

RECALLS ACT OF HERoisM.
Railroad Abandons Bridge Made
Famous by Kate Shelley.


Kate Shelley, the Moingona heroine,
is to be railroaded into obscurity. Years
ago she left her bed and in bowling
storm crept over the big bridge crossing
the Des Moines river, which had been
damaged by the flood, and signaled IN
approaching train about to plunge into
the raging torrent.
A generous public contributed $1,000
in recognition of the brave act, and in
past years train hands on the Chicago
and Northwestern road have been accus-
toned to point out little vine-clad cot
tage which the girl built with the money.
The place is near the eastern approach
to the, bridge, the scene of her courageous
act, and in plain view of all the trains
as they swing around the curve.
Now, however, Kate Shelley's place
will be seen but ENTHUSIASTICALLY, for
the trains are to be run over the new cut
off, which will leave Kate Shelley and
Moingona miles to the south. No more
will admiring passengers and trainmen
get wave from her hand. for the old
road will be practically abandoned.

chee.e.MakinR in Iowa.

Iowa enjoys the proud distinction of
the foremost dairy State in the Union.
The butter product Of the creameries in
1900 amounted to nearly SS,O0O,OOO
pounds, and it was worth over $4,000
600 on the market. The cheese product
Of the State, however, amounted to only
little over 100000 pounds and Iowa
annually imports cheese for home con-
sumption. 1t is sometimes claimed that
Iowa is not adapted to cheese making.
These conditions have led to careful
Investigation of the subject of cheese
making at the Iowa experiment station
at Ames, and it has been clearly demon
strated that practically as good cheese
can be made in Iowa as in the most fam
GUS factories of Canada, the products Of
which have made such a favorable repu-
tation in foreign markets.

Clover and Corn for stocr


If one could raise good crops every
year of clover and corn, there would
be little difficulty in providing stock
with suitable food, says a Michigan
farmer. Glover regard as double
ration, taking the place really of hay
and grain. 1t is possible to winter
horses and stock on clover without pro-
ducing any i'll effects or reducing them
much In weight and strength. This
would not advocate except as an exper-
;ment or in an emergency. What our
stock needs is variety. and while clover
might supply both hay and grain con-
stituents there would be the possibility
of inducing sickness and poor appetite
from the lack Of variety. Glover, of
course, produces a direct beneficial eff
feet upon the soil and adds to it more
than the corn takes away. Persistent
cultivation of corn on any field must in
time reduce the soil fertility to such a
low point that succeeding crops will
suffer. With clover as part of TO-
tatiop there would be little chance of
such soil degeneration.

RAISING or buy1nG Feeds
Where the farmer grows the fodder
and grain for his animals he is justified
in feeling that it has cost less than 1t
would If he paid. the cash for 1t in the
market if he has been successful In get
taing good crops. He has made q mar
ket for his own labor. the labor Of his
team and use of tools, and for the ma
nure that was waste product of his
stock. All Of that forms part Of his
profit. and the crops may be said to
lave cost him the seed, hired labor and
fertilizer bought. But it may not be
the cheapest feed for him to use. He
may be able to sell it and purchase 9TH
err food materials that would give him
enough better results to repay him for
the labor of drawing both ways. Bran
and gluten feed produce SO much more
milk than corn meal that he may sell
the corn he has raised. and buy the
other feeds which he does not raise.
Other foods are better for hens than
the corn, or even than oats. The man
who tries to be so independent as Meth
err to buy nor SELL had better set up
n hand loom and cobbler's bench, to
save spending money for clothing. We
could fatten hogs and cattle on turnips
and onions cheaper when we sold them
and bought our corn than we could to
have fed the roots, and we thought
cheaper than If we had grown the corn.
Exchange.
Changing Feed.
We like to get new seed for farm
crops from more Northern points. as
the crop not only ripened earlier, but
yielded better. We remember one year
getting some seed potatoes from YER
mont, and as we did not get as many
as we wanted to plant we bought some
of n neighbor who raised them the year
Def ore from Vermont seed, and finally
finished with row OF SO of seed which
had been grown on the farm where We
were. All were of the same variety,
and looked equally good, and all plant
ed the same day. The homegrown
seed yielded half us large crop us
that we got from the neighbor and
about one-third as that which came
from Vermont. We have ripened
good crop of corn from Canadian seed,
when the frost badly hurt that in our
neighbor's field planted as early as was
ours. Seeds from Southern melons
fail to produce good crop in Massa-
ohusetts, and we have thought that
other garden seeds were not us good
when purchased from our Southern
dealers us when we knew they We're
of Northern growth.-American Guilt

The Round siIo.

AS every student of mathematics
knows, the circle is the shortest line
which can inclose any given area.
When the material for building a silo
is an important object to be considered,
the round silo will contain more than

cost for lumber, and thus it is the better
form for many, but we think not for
ALL A silo built in the barn taking one
or more of the bays used for hay, and
extending from the cellar floor, IL there
is a barn cellar, to near the roof, can
often be put in at small cost, simply by
lining the outer walls and making
strong partitions on the inner sides, and
the space SO taken up will not be need
ed for hay unless the stock kept Is to be
increased, as the ensilage In 1t will
feed more animals than all the hay that
could be packed in 1t, as farmers NOW
away their hay. OF course we are not
speaking of baled hay, because the
farmers do not often bale hay that
they intend to feed out at home. But
cubic foot of ensilage in a sllo eighteen
to twenty-five feet deep will average
to weigh about forty pounds. which is
a fair amount to give COW each day
with the hay and grain that should go
with 1t, and farmer can very easily
figure how large a space would be need
ed to provide food for his stock. Many
of them could not as easily figure the
solid contents of round silo If given
dimensions, though they may have chill
dren who have graduated from high
school who could do SO. But the silo In.
the barn requires but little extra lum.
Der and no extra roof, and it keeps the
food very near where it is wanted.

have to choose the cheaper way If 1t is

POSED that his wife was fully apprised of
the proposed trip. Before he left he saw
that the house was we'll supplied with

that he might leave at any moment and
