BERIIE HEARS IT WITH REGRET

Perlin, March 22.-The German Government
had no warning Of President Castros retire

fact been supplemented yet BY any explanations
from the German Legation at Caracas The

House for Drying sweet Corn.

House for Drying Sweet Corn.
I have for several years been rails
ing sweet corn under contract, and the
accompanying illustration will convey
some idea Of my drying house. 1t Is
also my granary, the upper floor con-
tanning grain bins on one side. The
lower floor and south side of the up
per floor are arranged for sweet corn.
The most essential part Of drying
sweet corn is to have free circulation
of air. Therefore cut doors through
as shown. These doors are on both
sides and on the back. They are hung
on hinges and can be opened and shut
when needed. The sweet corn should
be spread in layers; therefore we use
racks made Of by inch Stats placed
twenty inches to two feet apart, one
above the other. II the corn is green
and milky when husked it should be
put on the racks very thin. not more
than two or three ears in depth, and
turned frequently, but If it is more
matured and the kernels are glazed it

On every farm there is more or less
wood-chopping to do, and, as a rule,
1t is back-breaking work unless some
device, something like that shown in
the cut. is used. This is simply made
and consists mainly Of two pieces Of
logs sawed smooth 80 that they will
stand firmly. These are set about four
feet apart and each log is about three
feet high. On top Of these logs is
placed another, which reaches from
end to end of the base logs, as shown
In the cut. Stakes are cut and fasten-
ed to the log as shown, 50 as to hold
1t firmly In position The whole ar
rangement is planned SO that the log
will be Of the right height for cutting
without causing one to bend over too
far. In order to prevent danger from

re.tin. for Plant Food.

One Of the simplest methods Of as
certaining what plant foods needed in
a soil is to test the soil with grow
ing plant. II the soil is deficient in
nitrogen the leaves of grasses and GER
cal grains will be either blush or vel
lowish, the latter in the case Of the
grain, while deep, vivid green indi-
Gates good supply of nitrogen in the
soil. Any soil in which rape, cab
bages and other members of the turnip
family thrive indicates that such soil
has good supply Of phosphoric acid.
Where potash in the soil is abundant
the leaves of the growing plants have
a yellowish green cast, while If potash
is deficient the shade Of green is of a
blush color. Naturally it requires a
practiced and observant eye to deter
mine accurately these things, but the
plan is correct and worth following.
The indication of sorrel in meadow
seeded to mixtures such as redtop
timothy and clovers, is a pretty good
indication that the soil needs lime
However, the litmus paper test fol
acid soil is the quickest and Is thor
oughly reliable.-Indianapo News.

To ,Renovate Old Farms.

The best mode Of srenovating old
worn-ot1t farms is to raise sheep on
them. But in raising sheep the land
should be divided into fields and some
thing grown thereon, the crop only
reaching height sufficient for the use
Of the sheep. The animals should new
er be compelled to hunt for their food.
No profit can be made on sheep, unless
they receive care and assistance. With
the production of wool, mutton and
lamb, and the gradual enriching Of the
soil, the profit Is sure in the end. Dc
not expect too much in one year, but
keep on, and good results will surely
follow.

Value of Dry Earth.


1t is well known that fine, dry dirt
is one of the best absorbents and dis
infectants known. 1t Is also plentiful
and costs nothing but the labor Of
handling. 1t makes excellent bedding
if covered over with a few inches Of
straw, and it really keeps the cows
clean, even when used in the stalls
without straw, as 1t is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. A stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out in a much shorter time, and, as it
absorbs the liquids and gases, quite a
saving is effected in that manner. Its
use goes beyond the stall. As the
stable should be cleaned daily, quite a
large quantity of dry earth will be
used in the course of year, and will
necessarily be added to the manure
heap. Although it adds nothing to the
heap itself, yet its presence therein
will double the value Of the manure
by preventing loss of fertilizing ma.
terial. 1t is better absorbent than
straw or cornstalks, and is easily han
died when the manure is hauled to
the fields.

Cultivation of Trees,

IL you nave Olu tTccS tudt nave ld1-
ed to give profitable crops Of fruit, dig
the soil up thoroughly and then apply
a good dressing of well-rotted stable
manure and work thoroughly into the
soil. Then, II you have them, apply
dressing of wood ashes. If these fail
to revive the tree after giving good
pruning 1t Is past redemption and
should give way to something better.
Good rich soil for three or four years
can be probably planted to some crop
while the trees in the orchard are
growing, but after that the best plan
is either to seed down to clover, and
use as hog pasture, or to cultivate
without allowing any crop to grow.
A Grand Old Cherry Tree. .
Sometimes the fruit on a single tree
is worth more than two or three acres
Of wheat. There is a tree in northern
Delaware, seventy or eighty years old,
that has produced an average of $50
worth of. fruit annually for nearly
twenty years. One year the cherries
sold for $50. Six years ago this old
patriarch bore hfty-four peach baskets
Of delicious fruit, or about eleven hun
dred pounds. And all of this fruit has
been a free gift from nature, as the
old tree has stood in q dooryard all
these years unattended and uncared

+ Poultry Notes.
Stone drinking vessels are cooler
than tin ones.
A quart of feed for twelve hens is a
good measurement.
Tincture Of iron is good tonic to
give during the hot weather. t"
Air-slaked lime busted over the
yards is a good preventive of gapes.
When the egg shells are thin it is an
indication that the hens need lime.
Don't forget to chop up dandelions
for the little ducks If kept where they
cannot get grass.
Boiling the milk fed to poultry will
check looseness of the bowels, a com
mon trouble in hot weather.
Market all the early chicks not want
ed for next years breeding. If you
caponize any, let it be the later

If done Matching send the useless
ROSTERS to market or to the pot in

Never give crushed oats to young
chicks without first sitting out the
hulls. The hulls, either on or of the
