NOBLE BENNITT's BUILDINGS.
Noble Bennitt's fine group of bust
ness blocks are nearing completion.
Their total value is about 800. 900, and
the gross income in the way of rents
will not be far from $4,000 a year,
Mr. Bennitt says he has not raised the
price of rents, and although the new
buildings are 80 per cent superior to
the old ones, he has allowed the rents
to stand as before the fire. This is an
effective answer to the anonymous

The nothonse In Winter.

The dollhouse should always be
built on the sunny, sheltered side of
a hill or building or grove of trees.
A very slight protection sucn as these
makes a difference of several de-
grees in cold weather. especially when
the wind is violent. If there is no
such sheltered place, a windbreak
should be constructed on the north
and west side of the spot. This can
be built by driving posts in the
ground, leaving the tops five or six
feet above the surface. Any loose
boards, pickets or sticks from the
woods nailed crosswise on these
posts, and thick brush and twigs at
tached to them hold in position pack
ing material like straw, cornstalks or
even leaves will furnish perfect
windbreak. and keep the dollhouse or
cold frames sheltered all winter.
The dollhouse itself should be built
with solid timber that will last. Posts
eight inches in diameter should be set
for the foun iation walls. They should
run up as high as the walls. Old lum-
Der can be utilized for boarding up
outside and inside, leaving a space
between the two walls for packing ma
terial. This space should be packed
late in autumn with good horse man.
ure The excavation for the floor of
the dollhouse should be deep enough
tc permit plenty of packing material.
There should first be a foot of good
warm manure. and over this three or
more inches of rich soil for seed bed.
The roof of the dollhouse should be
built with the greatest care. Double
sashes are better than single, for then
the house is proof against all wealth
er. The edges and sides should be
carefully constructed of matched lum-
Der so that water will be shed. In
addition to the glass sash door there
schould be covering of heavy un-
bleached muslin. This should work
up and down on a roller so that it
can be unrolled and rolled up accord
ing to the weather On very cold
days ami nights this covering will
greatly add to the protection. In adj
dition to this a heavy canvas cover
ing, or an old sail cloth, thrown over
the whole structure in times of
heavy storms will make the dollhouse
practically proof against the coolest
weather. Without any further heat
than what the manure supplies, the
most delicate of seeds and plants will
thrive there in midwinter.

The Lobby
in Congress:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Third House of Congress, that
heterogeneous body made up of attor-
neys, promoters. lobbyists and other
classes of workers who seek to inhu-
enee legislation in the National law
making body, has been growing larger,
stronger and more resourceful year by
year. but it is practically certain that
the Congressional session of 1901-l902
will go down into history as one of the
most active during the life of the
lobby" The issues which viii claim
attention and the men in whose hands
their fate will lie will of themselves
make necessary unusual activity on the
part of the schemers whose ambition
IS to facilitate or retard legislation.
In the first place, new President
is in control of the destinies of the
Nation, and. in addition to that. the
issues, almost without exception, are
important in the extreme.
The Third House has gained some
very distinguished recruits of late
years, for it has become quite the
proper thing for a Congressman whose
term has expired and who is DESTROYS

The feeding value of good ensilage
was never better appreciated than
this winter, when corn is soaring so
high that few feel that they can afford
to feed it to cattle or hogs. Indeed, the
ensilage is his year one of the crops
that will prove nutritious to the cat
tie, profitable to the farmer. and sat.
isfactory to all. My own slices have
seadily Increased in the last FIVE
years, so that today can Contemplate
with satisfaction the outlook for the
winter feeding. There is good clover
and good corn ensilage which will keep
the animals in thriving condition all
through the winter. There are many
who still look upon the sllo through
prejudieed eyes and believe the en-
silage is no more fit to feed animals
than so much sour molasses and in
toxicating rum. The pity of it all Is
that their ignorance is merely mani
tested in their statements. The very
fact that they compare their ensilage
with either sour molasses or rum con
dennis them. 1t shows that they do
not understand the art of preserving
the food. Ensilage that is soft, sticky
AMI molasses-like is not fit TO feed to
cattle. 1t has been ruined in the max
ing. But there is no reason why one
should not try again next year and
see If better success cannot be at
tanned
The ensilage that is put away green
or in a wet condition will always form
too much moisture, and this becomes
in time thick, Shiny mass that is
nauseating. External moisture in
particular put in the silo will cause
trouble. Moreover, we cannot put
away either corn or clover when 1t is
so green that it's natural moisture will
form half the bulk of the mass. 1t is
better to let the plants get ripper and
urier. and then less fermentation will
start up and the whole mass will be
sweeter and clearer for feeding. The
fact, is about half the ensilage ] have
seen is spoiled, fermented stuff, that
must have been unwholesome food.
Few, indeed seem to be able to make
good ensilage The stuff spells in the
packing or curing, and this is held up
as a proper food for the animals. |
think any farmer who sees well-pre-
served ensilage of corn or clover will
agree with the writer that it is most
wholesome winter feed. There is no
subject on the farm which is so little
understood as preserving good ensil-
age. and meanwhile we have farmers
feeding spoilt, rotten stuff to rebel
lious animals, or refusing to attempt
to make any at all If they cannot
make good, sweet, wholesome ensil-
age, it is better that they belong to
the latter class.-Charles Loring, in

Labor-sa,ing Appliance. on tho Farm.

Labor saving implements are do
ing their share in revolutionizing
farming The advent of the harvester
for cutting and binding wheat opened
new fields for farming in this country,
but within the past few years the
corn binder which cuts down the corn
and bundles it, has found its way to
hundreds of farms. One of the most
useful machines. however, is the
shredder and husker, which not only
husks the corn but also reduces the
entire stalk to such a condition that
IL may be baled like hay The time
will soon arrive, therefore, when the
farmer will no longer leave his corn
in the field to be husked by hand, the
shocks remaining to be destroyed by
winds, frOsts and rains. for, should
he persist in such practice. his compel
itor with the shredder will be able TO
sell produce cheaper and better than
he who refuses to progress. In every
department on the farm the farmer Is
well provided for In labor-saving i'm
plements, for even some of the i'm
proved grinding mills in use on farms
are capable Of grinding more corn in
day than the old mill with its water
wheel performed in a week.
Farming is rapidly becoming easier.
Already the automobile mower cuts
grass and saves the horse from that
labor. Heavy hauling is done by trac-
ton engines and automobiles. Farm
produce is being compressed so as
to avoid as much bulk as possible.
Every farmer is interested in these
matters. willingly or unwillingly, as
every farmer will be compelled to
keep up in the line of progress or
drop out as competitor. The only
show of backwardness Is the fact that
the average yields OF staple crops are
not much larger than in the past. This
is probably due to the large area Of
land uncultiyated in this country, the
unproductive portions reducing the
general averages for the whole, but

ut does not always follow that a

The sheep industry is greatly ham
pered in some sections by dogs, which
kill the sheep for food. A sheep
breeder who made an investigation
rode over a wide territory in order to
visit all who kept dogs. In response
to the inquiry. How often 10 you feed
your dog?" he found only one party
who made 1t a point to feed his dog
regularly. There are thousands of
farmers who expect their dogs to find
their food, from somewhere, hence
the dogs are forced to forage or hunt
in order to exist The breeder con-
cluded that if those owning dogs
would feed them the sheep would not
be disturbed.

Il cannot be denied that in those sec

than before. There is also a wider

An Itsn, in reealnr s,oet.

The labor of cutting the food for
stock by using a feed cutter is an
item to be considered in the expense,
but as machines now do such work
very rapidly the cost is but little. AS
a result of 10 days experiment it was
found that steers fed on cut clover
hay made more gain than those fed
on uncut clover hay. the gain being
as much as so percent 1t was found,
also that some slight exercise was
beneficial compared with close con-
finement If the cutting of the hay
gave such large gain it is apparent
that the labor so bestowed afforded
a profit.

work that can best be performed with
