"By that time nearly two feet of the
girls hair was so tangled up in the
wringer that nobody on earth could
have got it free, and we just had to
cut 1t off about a foot from her head.
when she got up and looked in the
glass over there she just gave gasp
and a wall and then began to sob.
| And. of course, you can't blame her.
, Who wouldn't?
Her sister called cab and they
went back to their hotel. About an
hour later the sister came back and
said she'd like to borrow that wringer.
81 guess you may have it, said l,
but what are you going to do with it?'
I didn't know but she was going to sue
| us for damages and wanted the wiring
er for evidence.
"'Sister wants to get her hair back,
she answered She thinks maybe she
can put it on again.
well, I hope she may said I,
| thinking they'd both gone little dotty
over the thing. and you're welcome to
! the wringer, for we've decided to put
| in an electric dryer in it's place.
DO you know that those girls took
| that wringer apart and got the hair
out of it, and then they combed and
| combed until the tangles were all
gone and it was as fine as ever-only
of course it was still detached.
But 1t wasn't detached for long.
The sister took it to a hair dresser

| made in a hurry, and he said all right,
he'd have it ready the next morning.
| And he did.
| while she was waiting for it the
| girl had her meals served in her room
and din't show herself among the other
| guests in the house. The next day at
luncheon she turned up with a full
head of hair, as usual, and nobody was
ever the wiser, except her sister and
me.

Wasting Fertilizer on Onions.

Onion growers often use year after
year large quantities of commercial
fertilizer without knowing how profit
and loss would be affected by smaller
applications. Four years tests at the
Geneva On. " station concluded in
1901 prove that 500 pounds of fertili-
yer per acre will ordinarily give large
profits. but that larger applications
than this must be accompanied by ex-
ceptionally favorable conditions for
growth and high prices in market for
the product to insure proportionate re-
turns.
The test fields were in the heart OF
the onion section, on the black, peaty,
friable soil which the onion loves, and
the crops were raised by experienced
growers, using approved methods.
Summing up the results of these
trials. r. Ell. Hall of the station says:
considering the varying price OF the
marketable product, the close margin
of profit from heavy manring with
FERTILIZERS even with fairly good prices
for the crop product and the vicissi-
tudes of the crop due to the limitations
of season, the onion grower runs great
risk of diminished profits when ne
uses 1900 and 1000 pounds OF COM
mercial manure per acre.

PLAN OF STABLE AND sILO.

The foundation and bottom Of the silo
were made of stone and cement. The
dimensions of the silo are 20 feet
high and Is feet in diameter The
stills are made of two inch plank, cut
in short pieces and laid double and
spiked together, but first cutting them
so they will form circle. The top
plank was notched every foot to hold
the end of the studding resting on it.
The studding of by 6 scantling, Is
feet long, were spliced by tapping them
and spiking them together. These were
set up one foot apart, land the bottom Of
each one securely spiked to the sill and
held in place by stay lathing them I'M
til the boards were nailed on.
Hardwood boards three-fourths OF
an inch thick were bent so they could
be nailed horizontally around the stud
ding, then thick building paper was put
on, and then another thickness of
boards was put on in the same way.
thus double boarding it, with paper be-
tween the boards. The silo is so close
to the barn that it was covered by an
extension of the barn roof over it and
in this way attaching the silo to the
barn. Several openings were made in
the side of the silo, with doors on the
inside fitting tightly over them. A
shoot from these openings carries the
ensilage to the stable below.

STABLE AND SlLO,
An Ohio Plan-very Convenient In
Caring For Cattle.


Caring For Cattle.
Inc diagram shows the ARRANGEMENT
OF new stable and silo built with a
view to convenience in feeding and car.
ing FOR cattle, Of which correspondent
has the following to say in the Ohio
Farmer:
The stanchions, instead of running
iengthwise of the stable, as is the usu-
al plan, are placed in rows at right an
giles across the stable, but leaving a
space on one side for a walk. On the
side of the right angles next to the
walk are the stanchions and manure
cutters. On the other side are the
managers, feed alleys and shoots for
feeding hay and silage and feed bins.
Under the walk is manure vat made
of matched pine plank, and the cutters
are so arranged that the manure can
be pushed along into the vat without
lifting it.
At one end of the vat it is so arrang-
ed that wagon can be driven under it
and loaded by hitching a team to a
scraper made to fit in the vat and draw
the manure to the end where the wag-
on stands under it, when it drops down
into the wagon. By this arrangement
there Is no lifting of the manure to get
it into the wagon, as it is pushed
along the cutters into the vat and then
scraped out by horse power. The ma
nure vat is covered with trapdoors
made of plank and in sections so that
they can be lifted up. This space over
the vat makes the alley where the
cows are driven in the stable.
The barn Is a three story building,
with the bays for hay over the stable,
so the hay can all be pitched down
the shoots into the feeding alleys. The
silage can be pitched out of the silo in
to truck which is run along the feed
Ing alleys when feeding the cattle. AS
to economy of space, with this arrange
ment Of stanchions about thirtyfive
cows can be kept In a stable 80 by so
feet, while with the former arrange
ment thirty cows were kept in the sta
BILE.
A round or tub silo was built on the
outside of the barn next to the stable.
