Big Task to Sweep Floor.

It Is enough to blister ones hands
just to contemplate the Job that con-
fronted the men who swept the floor
Of the mammoth palace of agriculture
at the st. Louis worlds fair. When
the contractors finished their work all
that remained to be done was to
sweep the floor. 1t never dawned on
anyone how great the task was Cald-
we'll & Drake, the contractors, ordered
a dozen brooms and set twelve men to
work. When night came their inroads
on the twenty-three acres Of floor
space were scarcely noticeable. They
increased the force next day to forty
men and ordered 100 brooms. These
forty men worked ten days before the
big floor was thoroughly swept.

POETS IN THE PooRHoUsE.

A Rather Pathetic Discussion Of the
Worth Of Rival Verse Makers.
In no country is there among the
poorest and least educated greater
love of poetry than in Ireland; no.
where are the poets of the people held
longer or more fervently in remem-
brance. Lady Gregory tells charac-
teristic anecdote of discussion which
she heard between two Of the aged,
toil-worn, poverty stricken inmates Of
Gort Workhouse concerning the rival
merits of two peasant bards of sixty
years ago-Raftery and Callinan.
Tho partizan of Callinan declared
that he had been a more respectable
kind of man, owning a little farm Of
his own and his own cattle; moreover
that he had more settled and respecta-
BILE ways; also, that he was more good
natured, and did not lash his netghbors
with satire; finally, that he was bet
ter poet, anyway, and that Raftery,
the blind, wandering rimester, admit
ted it by avoiding any encounter with
him, and once wept with chagrin when
some satiric verses on his rival were
answered to overwhelming effect by
the rivals brother. also poet.
The aged champion Of Raftery (real-
~ the more gifted poet Of the two
reluctantly admitted that he would
run people down, and was someways
bitter; but he, too, was kind at heart;

to hear it, turning the occasion into a

But the partizan of Callinan was not
gilenced. ST tell you" said she, en-
phatically. "Callinan was a nice man

New Sugar Plant.


The Agricultural Department is In

General Guenther that new plant has
been discovered In South America that
promises to supplant the sugar cane
and the sugar beet. The plant contains
a large amount of saccharine matter
and high percentage of natural sugar
properties which are easy to extract.
1t Is said to be easily cultivated In
climates like those of the southern por-
ton Of the United States. According
to experiments made by the discoverer,

yield a sugar which is from twenty to
thirty times as sweet as ordinary cane

Strips might well be used in place Of
the wires and would give additional
strength. If wire is used, it will prove
most satisfactory If kept tight.
The nest boxes are made of one-half
inch lumber. They are 111a inches
wide, ~ inches long and Ave inches
deep. The bottom is made to project
six inches, providing a step for the
hens to alight on. The space above
the boxes would depend partly on
the breed of poultry, but with boxes

improved nest boxes have the advant-

Rabbits In Annie Orcbarda.

One of the incidents and expenses
Of orcharding on a large scale is the
constant warfare necessary to wage
on rabbits so likely to work great
destruction to young apple trees.
Wellhouse & Son, Of Topeka, Kan,

used a carload Of lumber on the con-
struction Of LOO rabbit traps. For
four orchards they have 1000 traps.
These traps consist of a box %

lumber, inch thick, closed at one
end, and with an inward swinging
