Store Grain in Bulk.

Where the granary is new and free
from insects, or even where it is old
and free from insects, it is advisable
to store the grain in large quantities.
In that case the surface layers only
of the grain are exposed to the attack
of insects. This practice is especially
valuable against the moths, which do
not penetrate far beneath the surface.
When moths appear in a granary it is
advisable to stir the grain, as this is
destructive to them. If, however, wee
wills get in, the stirring does no good,
only distributing them through the
grain more thoroughly. Farmers

LAYING A FOUNDATION.
Valuable Hints for Farmers who
Think of Building q Small Resi-.
dence or Big Barn.

To build foundation walls, dig .
trench to the frost line. Fill with loose
stones. Now set up plank on each
side and hold them in place by stakes
as shown in the cut. Fill in now to the
top of the plcnks with loose stones and
soft mortar-soft enough to fill all the

A Vermont Wonder.

A report is published from Vermont tina.
the electric light plant of town in the
Green mountain state was frozen up the
other night. When it comes to freezing up
electricity Vermont beats the record. Up
to date nothing equally startling has been
heard of, unless the story told by Bob Bur-

Rotation for wheat Growers.

AS to the best rotation of crops for
a wheat grower, would suggest the
old rotation of corn, oats, wheat and
clover or corn, soy beans or cowpeas,
wheat and clover with timothy. The
latter rotation I think is the better
one where the farmers can use the
crops, as it is virtually getting two
clover crops in the rotation or every
second crop leguminous one. It
must be borne in mind that no system
in which the most of the products of
the soil are removed from the farm
can continuously preserve the fertil-
ity of the land. Unless the crops are
partially returned to the land by
pasturing or hauling on manure the
clover and beans or peas only form a
means of more perfectly draining the
land of itsaelements of fertility.-H.

boxes, but metal is preferable.
Take a bar of iron one one-quarter
inches square and five feet long. Have
a bearing turned at one end, and an
other 16 inches from the other end.
Then set off one foot in length to form
a crank, as shown. Drill hole in the
end for crank pin, on which put a
loose shield.
One great advantage of mounting a
stone in this fashion is that you can
grind axes and scythes without inter-

 NEW ORLEANS. May e.-Liverpool seems to be in dread of serious decline in American markets. or at least is laboring under the in- so private cables explained, and the additional decline of points in deliveries during the early trading was attributed to that cause, though lack of evidence to support such pre- dictions apparently had reassurng effect as a recovery of points was established before the close Spots dropped of & sixteenth with sales of O,OOO bales. The days session here was characterized by frequent ups and downs traders were very uncertain as to which course to pursue and the tone of the market consequently remained very nervous and un- decided. The statistics were favorable enough. but there was no disposition to force matters points higher on this crop and 2d4 points ID on the next. The visible supply losing 60 GOO bales this week as compared with a loss of l07. 900 the same week of last year is sufficient evidence that cotton is passing into consumption at lively rate even at the hfgh level of prices and this fact would doubtless have very beneficial effect were it not for the present comparatively apathetic state of the spot department. The whole st- uation is a great puzzle as 1t stands and those engnEed in guessing it are involved in a huge task One thing is certain. that much cotton is being attracted here for delivery son ac- 1t remains to be seen If such deliveries will be readily cared for |.

"
 NEW YORK, May e.-Cotton attracted little attention in the early market Prices tm- proved . trine. but cables were bearish and there was an absence of usual Liverpool bus mess or advices going to show how the trade there stood, and the same may be said of the home situation. the South having little to say and as little to do The belief was early in the day that we might witness dull mar ket until some new feature came to the front
 A temporary rise of 10 points caused some excitement soon after the opening when Liver pool sent some orders to buy here, but there was an absence of confident feeline which should accompany rise of such importance
 The rise was soon emptied out arS legitimate influences were again at work. Fort receipts for the day estimated at 5000. against 900 last year. The weekly Liverpool re- port showed SC, 900 decrease in the stocks of all kinds. 24.00o decrease in the American stock, " 900 decrease in the anoat of all kinds and 5000 decrease in the American afioat This is a bullish showing until we compare with last wears figures which show the all kinds stocks to be 27@oo0 more than last year at this time and the American stock 277, 900 more. while the afoat stock of all kinds is 64 900 less than a year ago. The weather in the South was fair today ex- cept rain where needed and this embraced Monteornery, Charleston and Savannah. Geor- eia people in New York have been asserting for some time that the crop badly needed mois- ture there.
