A HANDY BARN GATE.

the labor of tying up the stock. says an
Ohio Farmer correspondent. In our
barn we have constructed few gates,
as shown in the accompanying Illus
tration. The crosspieces in the gate are
made of pine, being three inches in
width and one inch in thickness. Two
pieces are required both at the top and
bottom of the gate. 1t is very essential
that the crosspieces be of good timber
and quite free from knots, for the
strength of the gate greatly depends
upon this part Of the construction. The
vertical pieces are made of oak, being
two inches in width and one inch in
thickness. In this gate the vertical
pieces are four inches apart. In hang
ing the gate we have found nothing
equal to a strap hinge with wood
screw bolt for a hanger The strap is
bolted through the gate with quar-
ter inch bolts. The latch is made of the
same material as the vertical pieces,
being cut down to half its size in order
that the side motion for moving the
latch below may be secured. 1t is bolt
ed between the two three inch pieces
and also to the piece below. When the
top of the lever is pushed forward, the
gate is Unmatched, and with reverse ac-
ton the gate, when in proper place, is
securely held by the short right angu-
lar piece. A light brace is very neces-
sary to hold the gate in proper shape.
In our barn we have eight of these
light, simply constructed gates that
serve an indispensable purpose. Al
night all gates are closed, and if any
animal gets united no harm can be
done.

CONSTRUCTION OF CIRCLES.

and nailed to the circular bands. Some
shut it up inside with two layers Of
inch boards, unmatched, but with
tarred paper between, the boards
breaking joints, but good ensilage may
be secured by the use of one layer of
matched flooring. The outside may be
finished up according to fancy. Clap
boards may be bent around horizontal
ly and nailed to the studding, or it
may be sheeted up with boards run
ming vertically.
Ventilation may be secured by leav-
ing place through which air may
pass both at the bottom and top of the
outside covering of the silo. This free
ventilation will greatly prolong the life
" the silo.

corn lMPRoVEMENT.

by the Selection For Seed of Kernels
Having Large Germs.
The superiority of our present varie-
ties of plants over those grown even
within the memory of those of us in
middle life is very great in many in
some are indications of those that are
possible with many, perhaps all. In
the case Of staple crops the improve
ment possible, even If it should prove
to be but in small degree, may in the
aggregate be of great economic mo-
ment Seedsmen and farmers naturally
give their attention to the external and
physical qualities and the yield rather
than to the chemical composition. The
chemical department of the Kansas ex-
pertinent station has shown that there
are significant differences in the COM
position not only of different varieties
of corn, but in that of different ears of
| the same variety and even of the indi-
vidual kernels of given ear. Analy-
| sis by the Kansas station and by 9TH
| ers have shown that the germ is much
richer in nitrogen than the rest of the
kernel BY selecting as seed from year
to year the ears of corn in which as a
rule the kernels possess larger germs
strain can be secured which will be
| richer in nitrogen, as this station and
others have abundantly shown that
this property is Unbeatable,
By making cross sections of the tips
1 p@ q r>p oF
several ears 1t is quite feasible to Sc
lect the ears which are richer in nitro
gen. 1t is said that inspection enables
one to select corn in which the parts of
the kernel exclusive of the germ are
richer or poorer in starch and conse
Quently poorer or richer in nitrogen re-
spectively. While this may be true, it
seems to be less easy of application
and less practical, as feeders prefer
corn that is not hard and flinty, even
though it may contain less nitrogen.
There is no similar difficulty compli-
eating the selection Of corn by the size
of the germ, other things being equal.
In fact, larger germs add to the value
of corn by their much higher percent
age Of fat as well as by their higher
percentage of nitrogen.
That corn would be an appreciably
more valuable grain for feeding If 1t
were richer in nitrogen there can be no
reasonable doubt, and the farmer who
will Systematically set about develop
ing a strain of an otherwise good vari-
ETY. that is richer in nitrogen will be a
public benefactor and doubtless will
reap an ample financial reward. 1t is
probably needless to state that corn
that is being thus developed should be
planted at considerable distance from
any Other.-J. Il. Willard.

GAME OF PING PONG.
Latest Eastern Craze May Soon Be
Introduced in kalispell.

Introduced in Kalispel.
The latest craze in the east is the
game of ping pong. Old and young
are said to be fascinated with it, and
it is the most popular amusement of
the day.
Ping pong is an ideal indoor game.
1t is suitable for winter, and it is
happy solution of how to spend lne
time on those dull, rainy days at
summer resorts, when everybody
wanders aimlessly about and wishes
it would clear up. One of it's merits
is that the outfit for the game re-
quires only small outlay of money
Sets are made by dealers for from IS
to $40, says a writer in Woman's
Home Companion
Second, it is very simple. 1t is
lawn tennis, with such notifications
as suit the different conditions. 1t
may be played on an ordinary din
ing room table. In the center, net
is stretched, supported on either side
by movable uprights, which are
made to clamp on the edges of the
table. This net is about six inches
| in height, and the ball is batted back
and forth across it. OF course, the
heigth of the net may vary; the
lower it is the more difficult the
strokes may be to return. The server
has greater opportunity to send a
low, swift ball. The best proportions
for a ping pong table are nine feet
long by five feet wide but a table
of any proportions may be made to
serve ones pleasure. The space on
either side of the net is sub-di
vided, as in lawn tennis. There is
one large court.
The racquets are of two sorts. They
are considerably smaller and lighter
than the ordinary tennis racquets
and like these, are strung with gut
or are formed from single pieces o.
vellum stretched tightly over frame
like drum head. The ball used is
of light celluloid, and is hollow. L
is very lively and is as elastic as the
1est rubber; moreover, it is SO ligh
that it does not endager glass. WheI

lish cousins bestowed upon the game

NO SMALL POTATOES.
Billed as Sack of Potatoes Man Trav-
els From Kansas City to Chicago.

Chicago, March 17.-Billed as a
sack of potatoes, Martin Klansdigger
has arrived in Chicago from Kansas
City tied up in sack. For three
days and a half he had been confined
in the sack and during that time had
travelled close to 700 miles in a
freight car.
Klansdigger began his journey with
only quart of water and two pounds
of crackers in the sack with him,
this being a condition of the wager
of $500 which caused him to make
the perilous trip.
For nearly three days he had been
without water and he stated when he
was able to talk that had it not
rained Wednesday he certainly would
have died of thirst. During most OF
the storm the car in which he was
packed was sidetracked out in some
small country town and the water
came through crack in the roof and
fell on the sack. The burlap became
quite wet and he was thus enabled tt
suck from the cloth a fey drops
which allayed his thirst.

OF the skirts is, by the way, most es-
Sential to an up to date toilet. The
best models are fourreau in contour,
spreading out amply round the ankles,
at the sides of the skirt, as well as at
the front and back.
Evening gowns are becoming MOI
and more complicated in their fash
Joining. A good example will suggest
the monetary requirements of a really
modish gown. First, silk foundation
is necessary; then a covering of gauze,
striped with inch wide lines Of gold,
the stripes placed very close together
at the waist. The whole is yelled with
an exquisitely light and fine black lace
spangled with gold; tiny plaits mold
the material to the knees and give an
immense amplitude to the bottom,
which is rendered still more generous
by innumerable volants in black illu-
SIGN. The gown is a princess, sur
mounted by bolero of black lace over
quisite pompadour roses in the pale
shaded ribbons that give chic to the
best evening models.
Smart Paris cloth gowns evince the
reigning popularity of the long basque
to coats, but it is a remarkably pretty
length and cut to show very becom-
ing outline to the hips, displaying to
advantage pretty figure. Invariably
the revers collar and cuffs are of q
bright colored velvet, embroidered
This gives a certain dressiness to an
otherwise somewhat plain costume
The combination of the colors is ex
ceedingly artistic and conducive to eff
fective dressing, if details such as the
choice of a good relieving color for the
revers. etc.. are carefully considered

struck upon FRAMEWORK OF BATA-
t b csc boards,
and the boards are sawed on circle,
and this serves as matrix around
which the bands for the silo are built
One-half inch strips should be sawed
from the edge of two inch planks. This
work may be quickly and cheaply done
at mill where buzzsaw Is available.
Strips then are lightly toenailed to the
matrix, the one-half inch strips being
easily bent to the circular form. The
second layer of strips is nailed to the
first with small wire nails, and then as
the ring grows heavier nails may be
used. This building out process contin-
ues until there are eight half inch
strips nailed together, thus making a
strong band which is two inches thick,
four inches wide and of any desired
diameter.
In the figure the strips are shown as
making joints at certain definite
places, but this is not necessary and
not even desirable. The joints may
come anywhere. 1t is we'll to leave
space of about an inch between the
AUDITING ends of the strips, so that air
space may be thus secured. If wire
nails are used literally in securing the
strips In place, a very rigid band is
made, and one need never lie awake at
night after the silo is filled and wonder
whether the hoops will stand the
pressure. The matrix described around
which the band is built may even be
dispensed with if enough stakes are
driven on the circumference of the cir
Gle so that the strips when bent around
will bend on true circle. After one
band is made it should be loosened
from the matrix, laid to one side and
another band constructed in like man
ner and so on until the required num-
Der have been built. The number need
ed will depend upon the height of the
silo. The figure is of silo thirty feet
high, and ten bands are used. The
distance between the two lower bands
is two and half feet. The distance
then increases until they are three and
a half feet apart at the top. The lower
band Is laid on the concrete founda-
ton, is made level, and then 2 by
studding, two and a half feet long,
are nailed to the band. These studs
serve as the support for the second
band, which is placed upon them and
spiked to the top of them.
Care should be taken that the stud
ding is kept vertical, and this must
be done by stay braces. The compile
ton of the framework is then merely
a repetition of this process. The frame
work once in place, the silo is complet-
ed by boarding 1t inside with one inch
matched flooring, running vertically

An Item I'm Roadmak.--

1t Is common error in rouumaking
to endeavor to secure routes covering
the shortest distance between fixed
points. For this purpose the road is
often made to go over hill instead of
around it. A road halfway around a
hill or through a valley is sometimes
no longer than road over a hill or
through valley. The difference in the
length even between a straight road
and one that is lightly curved is less
han many suppose.

shades are used for the double revers

the ton sur ton being certainly an occa-
sion to display the beautiful effect of
perfect harmony in color.
Strappings of the same cloth are
much used on skirts; darker tone of
similarly colored velvet composes the
collar and revers of coats, and small
straps of the velvet decorating the
front are finished by gold buttons and
small tassels.

"A GOOD NEW sILo.
A POpmlar Local Type OF Round SilO

A Popular Local Type of Round Silo
with Good Standing Qualities.
In the western part of New York, in
the neighborhood of Batavia, there is
in somewhat general use type of
round silo which is very popular and
seems to be growing more so. There
are many persons who are prejudiced
against the stave silo because some lit
tie attention is required once or twice
during the year to keep it in condition.
While not believing it any better than
a stave silo, Country Gentleman cor
respondent recommends the Batavia
type to those who desire a round silo
and gives information about 1t, which
includes the following:

Durt's Texas re- port claimed considerable damage by the Texas floods and more rain was needed in some parts of Georgia and Alabama, but the crop is making favorable progress A light yield Is practically assured in the southwest. Memphis, Little Rock and Vicksburg report heavy rains. The mar ket opened to points higher on moder- ate business. Shorts were covering. Bull ish sentiment was forming on the ex- pected low bureau figures of next week and selling was regarded as injudicious, as regards Texas, especially, there was a notion that the condition In the eastern section had been overlooked, while watch ing the western section and that the rains in cast sections have been not only heavy but damaging. Moreover there was some fear that the Mississippi valley was having enough rain to prevent fruit ing during August, which is the critical month. Texas on the whole was regard ed as in good shape but fear of boil wee vii as a result of big rains is causing nervousness in bear circles. Damage in consequence may entirely change the aspect there since sixty counties in the state have reported them. Port receipts today 2000, last year 5000.
