Roof window in the Barn.


There are thousands of barns scat
tered throughout the country. the roof
space in which Is but little, IL ut all,
utilized, largely for the reason that the
roof space is inaccessible. A barn was
secently seen In which this difficulty
was solved by the insertion Of a roof
window similar to that shown in the
cut This gives a chance to unload hay
into the loft from the outside, either
by hand or by a hay fork, and where
as the loft before was dark and poorly
ventilated. 1t is now light and airy.
The style of window that is shown is
much better than the pitched roof dor
mer window that Is sometimes put up
on roofs. The style shown admits of
having a laree square window in front
especially useful If hay fork is to
be used
The advantage Of thus changing a
barn is that the loft can be floored over
and the hay and straw stored in the
second story. utilizing the space clear

Many dollar is invested every year

asked. Why do not more of them make

not at fault is evident from the fact
that so many men have been success
full at it; so that the answer must be

straw and Corn Fodder,

1t is not maaY years ago that farmers
in the Western States We're burning
their straw stacks TO get them out of
the way There was apparently no
market for it excepting at points where
the cost of transportation was likely to
exceed the price for which they could
sell 1t, Now at nearly every market in
the States the price of good straw Is
as high as that of No hay. and in
some places 1t is higher. There were
some who would not burn it. but put 1T
in the yards for the farm animals to
pick what they wished to of 1t. and to
trample the rest into manure. After a
few years 1T was found that the farms
of these men increased in fertility and
productiveness. and the practice of
burning straw was nearly diseentin-
ned, even before the common use of
the baling press made it profitable to
ship 1t to Eastern markets. A change
almost as great has taken place in the
opinion of the value of corn fodder. 1t
is but very few years since the corn
growers of the Western States cut no
corn fodder. but after picking off ears.
let the cattle and hogs in to pick and
break down the fodder or what they
would of 1t, and then it was task in
the spring to break down the rest so
that 1t could be plowed under. Now it
is nearly all being put through the
shredder, and made so fine that any
stock eats it, and it is thought as val
liable as the average Western hay

After the revolution of Sa1 Domingo,

was looked upon with suspicion, and
its specific name. 'Lycopersicum." de
rived from lykos. wolf" and persikon,

but deceptive appearance of its fruit,

Care of Roots,


Not only those who expect to sell
their surplus of potatoes and other
roots, but those who intend to use the
tubers for seed purposes, should be
careful to guard against the cold
weather. When it gets so cold that
frost can be seen upon the inside of
the cellar walls, 1t is too cold in the
cellar for nearly all roots, but espe
cially for potatoes and such others as
may be intended for seed purposes. The
Cooper system of cold storage places
the proper temperature of potatoes in
storage at 81 degrees, or two above the
freezing point, while carrots may be
kept at SO degrees. onions and parsnips
at 81 degrees, or just at freezing. We
have seen onions kept we'll at a much
lower temperature than that, but an
essential requirement was that they
should thaw out gradually, and with
out any exposure to sunlight or artifi-
cial heat How onions so kept would
have proved II they had been set to
grow seed we do not know, as we never
tested them But 1t Is said that the po-
tato which has been in cold storage,
and even not lower than "a degrees.
has been so chilled that it is unfit to
use as a seed. Its vitality has been re-
duced, and while we have had sprouts
come from potatoes that We're partially
frozen, the yield was not such as to
lead us to advise any one to freeze
their seed potatoes. We are also told
that long term of chilling at a tenn
perature near the freezing point is
worse for them than an actual quick
freeze.-American CuEtiyator.

SCHLEY APPEAL PUBLIC.
Many Points of Importance in Petit

Many Points OF Importance in Petl-
ton to the President.
Rear Admiral Schley's appeal to the
President from the findings OF the naval
court of inquiry has been made public by
the Secretary Of the Navy. 1t is a vol
luminous document, covering sixty print
ed pages and containing about 10000
words The petition itself occupies the
first eight pages of the pamphlet. To it
are attached exhibits A and T. contain
ing the argument of counsel in support
of the appeal and a resume of the testi-
mony. also exhibit G, which is a reprint
of the bill of exceptions filed with the
Secretary of Navy Dec. Is.
The appeal was turned over TO Secre-
tary Long by the President, with instruc-
tons that the. Navy Department review
1t and return it TO the President with
comment" giving the views of the de-
partment in the premises.
Stated briefly, Admiral Schley's appeal
to the President asks that the dissenting
opinion of Admiral Dewey be approved
and that the opinion of the majority of
the court, wherein it differs from the
dissenting opinion, be set aside and an
nulled Three general grounds are then
set forth in the appeal. as follows:
/. That the court erred in the opinion
expressed by the majority, the one of ig-
noring the question of command at the
battle of Santiago and for the title of
the credit Of the ensuing victory.
,. That the court erred in its majority
finding, in failure to report on the ques-
ton raised on the eighth specification of
the precept-"the necessity for, if any,
and the ACCESSIBILITY of Withdrawing the
flying squadron at night from the en-
trance to Santiago harbor," etc.
3. That the court erred in this ma
jority finding in not agreeing with the
presiding officer of the court admiral
Dewey in all the views expressed by him
in his dissenting opinion.
