SILO IN BARN CORNER.
Very Few Boards Show Any
Sign of Decay.

A prosperous farmer writes: "Per-
haps someone may get useful hint
from the method in which my silo is

barn in 1890. It seemed to me that per-
pendicular boarding would facilitate
the settling of the contents, and ]
planned accordingly. The size is 12x14x
~ feet. The corners, excepting one,
are eight by eight-inch posts. The
girths on which the boards are nailed
are two by eight-inch pine planks, toed
in with round spikes to the corner
posts, as they are also to posts at the
sides of the opening. No post was
available at one corner, and here the
nail girths were placed one upon the
other and spiked together. These
girths are only IS inches apart at the
bottom of the silo, but the.distance in
creases until at the top they are sc
inches apart. The silo is double board

paper between the courses, The open
ing is 30 inches wide, extending the
whole height; It is closed with two
courses of short boards, put in place
as the silo is filled and removed as it is
emptied. At first sheathing paper was
placed between these courses, but care
being taken to break joints in placing
the boards, it is not found to beJneces-
sary. The sslo extends about two feet

mer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority of nerv-
Gus women are SO because they are SUI
fering from some form of female dis
ease. By far the greatest number OF
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is SO common, SO prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. The
greatest obstacle in the way of recov-
cry is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.

CLARIFYING BEESWAX.
1T the Work Il Done Properly a Prod
uct of Fine, Even Appearance
VIII BE Obtained,

AS it is generally clarified some
beeswax presents very clear
yellow, while other wax when COM
pared with it has dirty look. This
is owing to the proper method en-
ployed in one case and lack of thor
ougness in another, albeit not always,
for there is such difference even in
beeswax that it is questionablei if some
could ever be made clear. If clarified
as it should be, however, the chances
are nine out of ten of its all presenting
the same fine, even appearance, says
the Country Gentleman.
The way to do it is to take the comb
one has to clarity and put it in large
iron kettle, such as is used on the
farm outdoors, filling it with water.
In this the comb should be allowed to
boil for several hours. Meanwhile, a
tub having been filled half full of wa
ter, on which is foated an old board
OF some sort, the mixture at the end of
that period should be dipped cut with
an old pan or dipper from the kettle,
and poured through a hemp sack or
other thin material that is allowed to
rest on the board floating in the tub.
The result is the wax runs through the
sack into the tub, leaving considerable
residue in the sack, which can readily
be separated by squeezing or rolling
the mass with round stick or similar
means of pressure.
The wax will float on the surface Of
the water in the tub and soon cool,
and while this is taking place the ket-
tie should be cleansed and filled with
clean water; then the wax should be
put back in it and boiled up a second
time. It should next be strained care
fully through fine meshed cloth sew
eral times, and as the sack or cloth
used for this purpose is of no special
value afterwards it should be thrown
away.
Beeswax clarified in this manner can
be melted without water and put in
moulds ready for the market, which
otherwise might have been considered
worthless and never used at all. In
deed: it pays to save all the scraps and
pieces of old comb, and at the end Of the
season treat them as described, for
thus will frst-class beeswax be OBJ
tanned, and that always finds good
market.

A CELERY CAMILLA.

the strength of the scene. However, con.

and began a still hunt for that rose or a
substitute. My gaze wandered around the
stage. On the dinner table was some celery.
Moving slowly toward it, l grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into rose form.
Then began the fateful lines:
Take this flower; the life of camelia
il short-if held and caressed it will fade in
morning or an evening"
Hardly able to control himself, he spoke
his lines, which ran: 1T is cold, scentless

BUG LIKE A HEDGEHOG.

Throughout great areas in the east

Sorghum Cane for Fodder.

Sorghum sugar cane for fodder NAV
be planted from April to July. Sow one
to three bushels per acre either broad
east or drilled thickly. It will yield
from 20 to 80 tons of green fodder per
acre; four to six tons of the sweetest
and best hay, every particle of which
will be greedily eaten by stock. The
thicker the seed is sown the finer the
feed and the shorter the growth, con-
sequently easier handled. Cut and
bundle as corn fodder, or leave spread
on the ground if weather is dry. It
does not cure quickly.

HEDGEHOG BUG CHighly Magnifed).

ish. Apparently the mischief spread
with such rapidity because the bug has
no natural enemies in this country, and
that is why the department of agricul-
ture sent one of its most expert en-
tomologists, Mr.. Marlatt, to the far
east to look for something that would
devour the destroyer.
! Mr.. Marlatt had long chase. He
travelled over Japan and through many
| far countries, but it was not until he
arrived in northern China, in remote
and hitherto unexplored region, that
he found what he wanted. It was an
insect that bore a rather extra ordinary
| aspect. resembling in appearance a
| hedgehog, and its customary food was
the San Jose scale.
1t seems probable that this was the
region from which the scale bug orig
inally came. The pest does not
amount to anything on it's native
heath, being kept down by its formid-
a BILE foe. But when it made its way to
America, on tree cuttings or in some
such fashion, it was not accompanied
on the journey by its enemy, and hence
the trouble that has arisen in the
United States, where it has thriven and
multiplied exceedingly.
OF course. Mr.. Marlatt was much de-
lighted at his discovery. He caught
100 of the hedgehog bugs and packed
them carefully in box. TWAS long
journey home. but he took the utmost
pains to safeguard his precious live
stock, and though 50 of them died, he
got to Washington a few weeks ago
with two survivors.
Fortunately the two that survived
were lively and healthy. A large cage
was built for them out of doors, of
fine wire net, SO as to prevent them
from escaping. The cage was about
eight feet, and inside of it was planted
a fair-sized plum tree which was badly
infested by the scale insects.
The hedgehog bugs lost no time in
getting to work. Not only did they
attack the scale insect, but they pro-
ceeded to multiply their species, and
already about 1OO-a lot of equivalent
to the original stock obtained-are
crawling about on the branches of the
plum trees. They are so precious that
Secretary Wilson would not take five
dollars apiece for them. and the cage
is kept locked, no unauthorized person
being permitted to enter it.
The hedgehog bugs turn into beetles
after ten days or so-decidedly hand
some beetles, about the size Of lady
bug, each with two bright red spots on
the back. They are particularly busy
bugs, and the energy they exhibit in
destroying the scales is wonderful.
They simply walk over the branches of
the infested tree and gobble the OBJ
noxious insects one after the other.
As soon as the hedgehog bugs have
multiplied to sufficient extent, Mr.. |
is going to give patches of
them to large fruit growers, in this and
other ways distributing them over the
parts of the country, where it
is believed that they will reduce the
scale insects to harmless numbers be-
fore long.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
