THEY'RE AFTER NORTON.
Council Of Administration Discussing
His Actions.

His Actions
The council Of administration Of
the G. A. R. met last night at Topeka.
The purpose Of the meeting was to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of demand
ing the resignation Of Department
Commander Martin Norton on &C.
couni Of his attempt to conduct .
public installation at Abilene, while
in an intoxicated condition. Norton
was notified Of the meeting and asked
to come to Topeka and as be failed to
put in bis appearance yesterday an
endeavor was made to reach him at
Blue Rapids by telephone. His son
answered for him and said his father
would be there today. Action on the
matter was therefore deferred until
today, when the council will discuss
the matter and decide upon what
course to pursue.
The council Of administration ex-
pressed itselilast night as being much
mortified by the action Of Commander
Norton, and although Information
had been received which tended to
show that the accounts had been ex-
aggerated, the corrected reports were
bad enough. 1t seems that Norton
was not drunk at Concordia as was
reported. When he arrived there he
was shown paper in which the re-
port Of bis disgraceful actions at Abb
lene were recorded. 1t was thought
best after this that be lay low, and
consequently he stayed at the hotel
all the time. As q result there were
many who thought he was drunk and
in this way the report to the effect
that be was drunk was spread abroad.
One Of the members said last night
that the best thing Norton could do is
to resign bis office. 1t is said that
this is not the first time be has been
in this kind Of scrape but that here
tofore the matter has been hushed up.
In this case, however, the matter be-
came public property before the mem
bers OF the council or his friends could
have an opportunity to quiet the
matter.

ALFALFA BARN AND SHOOT.

made of one inch boards, just far
enough from the barn so that wagon
can be driven between. The alfalfa
hay is put into the barn through these
doors, and when wanted for stock a
wide shoot is used, reaching from the
barn door to the rack. BY these means
the hay is conducted from the barn to
the rack without loss. These shoots
are removable and can be taken out
when the barn is being filled or for
any other reason. The work of feed
ing the stock is also greatly lessened,
as it consists simply in throwing the
hay into the shoot and allowing it to
slide down into the rack.

hope that some simple, effective and
yet inexpensive apparatus would be
found which any poultryman could
make or have made. Director Brigham
says that, curiously enough, some of
the most ingenious and interesting in
ventions for outwitting the laying hen
were evolved by persons who evidently
had never kept hens" The Cheap
John" nest, which was made by the
college carpenter out of an orange box,
has proved one of the best contriv-
ances. The interested poultryman is
at liberty to use the same and to i'm
prove upon it to the fullest extent
There is no danger of infringement OF
a patent or of injury to any ones
rights by so doing. The value of the
trap nest in following a course of line
breeding of fowls is certainly unques-
tionable.

are the same as those used for the
straps. This is a convenient and pref
ty little cushion for the lace pins which
now form accessories to nearly every
feminine toilet.
Foundations for cushions made of
strong unbleached muslin and stuffed
with bran or sawdust may be purchas-
ed in almost any preferred shape and
size, to be covered with satin. silk or
lace to suit the taste of the maker. 1t
is much better to purchase these foun-
dations than to attempt to make them
for oneself. as their manufacture is
quite a science.
The cushion covering Of white linen
worked in wash silk is still great ia
vorite. although it is not new by any
means. 1t is so practical and neat,
and one need not fear doing damage if
one stick pin in it.
Hand painted pincushion tops are
quite cast in the background by the
embroidered linen ones such as we
have just described or by those of
Irish crochet or renaissance lace.

SILO TALK.

Points About Building - Best Corn
and How to Grow 1t For Silage.
In answer to correspondent John
Gould says in Ohio Farmer: 1t is not
imperative that the contents of a silo
be lowered two inches per day. 1t
would be difficult in many instances to
force a certain number of cattle to eat
that much. We have never found any
trouble where one inch daily is fed. To
divide a ten by seventeen foot silo into
two pits would make them very small,
and the friction on the walls would
make it difficult to get the silage very
compact. You would only have 40
surface feet of silage, and 90 is not
considered very great surface to feed
from. We would advise against parti-
ton. Plank with grooved edges set in
''ceat runs against the walls makes
very good partitions
Better make your Silo corners round
ed by mailing narrow boards across the
corners and round them in to a depth
of four inches and cut up in the cor
ners with the narrow lining or ceiling
and have no joints or semicorners, If
you do set up beveled plank in the cor
ners, fill in behind them with thin &C.
ment mortar; otherwise you will have
an air shaft in the corners to let air
into your silage.
Use narrow Georgia pine flooring to
cell up your silo, two and three-quarter
inch widths. Nail well, and while
painting the grooves might help some
| \ q e
ing is well put on and draw nailed.
The manhole doors, two by two feet,
cut 50 as to have the jambs come on
the girths, made snug fitting, opening
| on the inside, are as satisfactory as
any.
| think the small kerneled Virginia
white corn is the best of all the varie-
ties grown in northern Ohio. 1t grows
strongly and ears profusely, natures
for the silo by Sept. 20 and carries
great amount of sugar, about four
times as much as sweet corn. We
much prefer planting corn for silage in
drills three and half feet apart and
kernel each six inches in the row. A
grain drill can be used with success,
but it does not come up so evenly, in as
perfect rows, and does not cultivate as
nicely as the straight planter rows
For silage corn prepare the ground
two weeks or more before planting
Work it deep and make it mellow.
J Harrow every few days to kill weeds
before planting. Plant two inches
deep Harrow or use the weeder until
the corn is five or six inches high, and
cultivate very shallow and allow the
unbroken roots to grow as near the
surface as possible. The drier the
weather the oftener the shallow, fine,
level culture should be given to the
crop.

TREATMENT FOR THE BACK OF PIANO.
feed than the comfort of the house
hold In such a room, say s feet by 8
or even smaller, do not place the piano
against the wall. Nothing but an up
right would answer in so small room
and this must be given every adyan-
tage that the space allows.
The room may be made very artistic

there. The floor must be uncarpeted
except for a rug or two, and there
must be window near which the pi'

board and music.
A piano thus placed exposes the
back to view, and the back of an up
right piano is by no means a thing Of
beauty. So the devices for covering
this unsightly side of the instrument
are many and various. Some women
merely drape it with a soft silken ma
terial gathered up at both sides and al
lowed to fall to the floor; others tack a
handsome piece of tapestry to the four
corners, stretching it out flat, like a
picture, to show the design, and franz
ing it around with dull colored plush if
the tapestry is not large enough to
cover the entire back.
An excellent idea is to place a hand
some screen in front of it, as this al
lows more circulation of air for vibra-
ton of the keys than when covered
tightly with wooden or silken material.
But in either case, whether drapery
or a screen is used, it is an excellent
idea to place before it a small divan
with pillows, which gives more So
cial and homelike aspect to the room,
or, if the divan is not at hand, small
table with books and magazines or a
growing palm, with an easy chair near
by, will answer the same purpose.
VT there is more sheet music than
can we'll be accommodated in the mu-
sic cabinet, it is we'll to have shelves
built on one side of the room deep
enough to accommodate these sheets
and to have the shelves classified that
the music may be kept orderly-thus
one shelf to be devoted to vocal mu-
sic another to classical collections, a
third for dance music, and so on.
Each shelf is provided with rod and
curtain, which can be drawn across to

TRAP NESTS FOR HENS.
Coming into Notice - Valuable In
Breeding Special Strains.

Coming into Notice - Valuable In
Breeding Special Strains.
The trap nest has been in use to a
limited extent for at least thirty years,
but it is only within the last three
years that il has come into general
notice through the claims of several
inventors of devices to determine the
number of eggs laid by individual
fowls.
Some of the objects have been to
save the eggs of individuals from spe-
cial mating pens, to select the best lay
ers, to detect the nonlaying fowls and
those that lay but few eggs and to as
certain the characteristics of the eggs
from certain fowls.
1t is Il favorite device with the man
who has a desire to build up strain
of phenomenal layers, even if by so
doing he weakens the stock.
Experiments were undertaken at the
Rhode Island station last year with a
view to testing the numerous, and in
some cases rather expensive, contriv-
ances offered to poultrymen in the

More attention than ever before is
being given now to the selection of
seed corn. 1t is an important matter
for the farmer. 1t is being realized
that it pays to plant we'll bred seed.
AS to this Professor Shamel of Illinois
says: by highly bred seed is meant
seed that is the very highest represent
alive of styles of the improved type; in
other words, those ears which as near
ly as blerepresentth the ideal ear. AS
every ear is different from every other
ear. there can never be large num-
Der of such ears. However, this very
fact of wide variation makes the I'M.
provement of varieties possible. 1T
there was no variation from which Sc
lection could be made, there could be
no Improvement. 1t is by selecting
those ears which vary in the direction
desired and discarding the poor ears
that a general advance can be made"

Coffee made with a suspicion of cara

by putting couple of tablespoonfuls

allowing it to color almost black with

about four tablespoonfuls, has been put

NATURALIZATION. IhANSILANIED'
The gain in the vigor of the plants by
TRANSFORMING is well worth the addi-
tional expense. AS is shown in the il
lustration, transplanting tends to pro-
duce a short, strong, vigorous plant,
with an increased root area and feed
ing capacity, one able to support itself
by it's own stem without artificial sup
port.
In the first transplanting into the
cold frames the plants may be placed
about an inch apart each way, but this
distance must be increased if only one
transplanting is to be given. Too close
planting causes deficient light, and the
plant spindles up, weak in stem, with
yellowish green scant foliage and
poorly developed roots.
In the second transplanting the
plants should be at least two and a
half or three inches apart.
| AS the plants increase in size ana
strength more air may be given, and
| the cloth or glass should be entirely
removed for several days before the
plants are to be set in the field, in or
der that they may become sufficiently
hardened off, to prevent injury from
sudden cold snaps after planting. To
mato plants, rightly hardened off, will
not be injured by light frost.

In former times the term music room

another meaning for the words, and
any little room ON the ground floor large
enough to hold an upright piano is set

who must have regular hours for prac-

the child must be constantly interrupt

1t goes without saying that the sound
of the music will not be as agreeable

TOMATO PLANTS.
Twice TranspIanted and Hardened
OF In Cold Frames,

Discussing the growing of tomato
plants n hotbeds, Texas Farm and
Ranch advises: AS soon as the little
plantlets are beginning to show the
second or third leaves they are ready
for transplanting into the cold frames.
These frames are made the same as
the hotbed, except that no artificial
heat is given. Lighter lumber may also
be used Boards one inch thick will
answer as well as two inch plank.
Such plants as the tomato and cab
bage are usually transplanted twice.
