Filling the SilO.


A Pennsylvania correspondent OF the
National Stockman says that he wants
to fill his silo when the ears reach that
stage when they are little too hard
for him to eat, IL roasted, or boiled.
There might be quite margin In this.
as we do not know how mature he likes
his corn. We very seldom see an ear OF
corn in a restaurant in Boston that we
care to eat, because 1t is too mature
for our fancy, and often made harder
by boiling in salt water instead OF
fresh. We like our corn when 1t Is
fairly well grown, but often see 1t IN
such condition that one would need q
mill or a gizzard to grind it in before
1t could be digested. We used to know
a gardener who preferred to let his corn
get hard before he took it to market,
and sell it then at 35 to so cents box.
rather than to pick 1t a week earlier.
when just as we liked 1t. for 81 box.
Like the old sailor who liked salt junk,
or "salt horse" as it was called, better
than fresh meat, he wanted something
that had some "chaw" to it. But we
agree with the Pennsylvania farmer,
whether he cuts his corn as we would
like it. or wait few days longer, but
think that every day he waits after 1t Is

The Hessian Fly.

Every one who grows wheat under

the hessian fly. The illustration Will
give the reader some idea Of this insect
and its growth at various stages. The
plant at the left Is an uninjured stalk,
the one at the right shows a stalk In
tested with the hessian fly. 1t will be
noticed that this stalk Is dwarfed. the
leaves withered and the stems swollen
near the ground.
In the illustration A indicates the
eggs of the fly; B the larva much en-

Thread Used in Surgery.

The modern surgeon employs In his
work dozens of different kinds OF
thread for sewing up cuts and wounds.
Among them are kangaroo tendons,
horsehair. silk and very fine silver
wire. Many Of these threads are in
tended to hold for n certain number Of
days and then naturally break away
The short, tough tendons taken from
the kangaroo, which are used for sew
ing severe wounds, will hold for about
four weeks before they break away.
Silk thread will remain much longer,
sometimes six months, while the fine
silver wire is practically indestructible.
With the entire outfit a surgeon Is
able to select thread that will last as
long as the wound takes to heal and
will then disappear completely. To
accommodate this assortment of
threads special varieties Of needles
are required. Besides the needle
craned in different segments Of a cir
Gle, surgeons use needles shaped like
spears, javelins and bayonet points.
Some are as long asbodkins, in point
like a miniature knife blade. Others
have the sharpened end triangular.

Fruit Growing and Poultry Raising.
With proper arrangement of build
ings and yards. 1t Is possible to make
poultry raising and fruit growing COM
bine profitable. II small fruits are
grown extensively. 1t will be necessary,
Of course, to keep the poultry yards at
some distance from the fruit planta-
ton, but where orchard fruits are
grown. considerable saving can be af-
fected by building ut least portion
Of the poultry yards in the orchards.
1t is not good plan to build the houses
in the orchards. but some portion Of
the ground devoted to runs should ex-
tend under the trees. This arrangement
gives the fowls considerable shade.
without any detriment to the orchard.
When poultry yards are arranged in
this manner especially If the orchard Is
young. the ground between the rows
can be cultivated to advantage; in 9TH
err words. it will not do to sacrifice the
culture of the young orchard In any
way to the poultry yard. One great
advantage in combining fruit growing
with poultry raising Is that most of the
important work in the care of fowls Is
done at time when there is the least
work to do with the fruit.

Weekly Grim Bulletin.

The weekly weather crop bulletin
says: The week has been favorable
for the progress of field work, but too
dry for the best growth of wheat, rye,
meadows and pastures and the germ
mating of spring seeding. Very bene-
fetal showers occurred in the upper
peninsula and portions of the northern
counties, but practically no rain fell
in the central and southern counties
and is now much needed. Wheat has
made some progress, but continues very
uneven and in some cases is being
p!owed under. Rye and meadows, al
though slow, ore generally promising.
Pasturage is very slow. Dat seeding
is nearly completed and is terminating
nicely, though slowly. Flowing for
corn, beans and potatoes is we'll adj
vanced in most counties of the lower
peninsula. Corn planting has begun
in the extreme southern portion of the
state. Early potato planting is quite
general. In the northern and central
counties barley and pea seeding are
well advanced and terminating nicely.
Sugar beet seeding has generally be-
gun. Cherries and Strawberries are in
blossom and promise good yields; all
other fruit prospects are generally
good

The commission of the constitutional
convention which returned to Havana
from Washington. May 5, presented to
the convention on the 9TH, at the lat

port of the conferences with President
Mckinley and Secretary Root. In ref
erence TO the third clause of the amend
ment the report stated that the II. 5.
would not intervene unless Cuba were
attacked by foreign power or unless
there existed in Cuba a condition of af
fairs similar TO that which existed I'M
der Spain at the time of American in
tervention. Regarding coaling sta
tons, the report set forth that the
places SO desired by the u. S. were
Capes Mails and San Antonio, and an
other point commanding the entrance
10 the Gulf of Mexico; these would be
definitely determined upon when draw
ing mp the treaty and that the object
of these stations would be the main
tenance of the independence OF Cuba
as well as the protection OF the u. s.
The report also said that the u. g.
would in no way interfere in the local
government and that President Me-
Kinley had promised to appoint COM
mission to meet a Cuban commission
to discuss the economic question, and
draw up commercial treaty as soon
as the republic is established. The
representatives announced that Secre-
tary Root had said there was nothing
in the Platt amendment to prevent
Cuba having diplomatic representa-
tives in foreign countries.
