Silk velvet suits are very handsome

this can be made up into a street cos

FARM NOTES.

In the making of cornstarch about
100000 900 bushels of corn are now used
annually.
The corn plant is a deep feeder, and
the soil on which it is grown should be
loosened deeply.
The area of corn land cannot greatly
increase, but what We have can be made
to produce twice as much as it does at
the present time.
Our farmers must learn to utilize
every resource and utilize it completely.
This is the secret that has made many a
manufacturer rich ~,
By proper preparation Of the land AM!
iudicious cultivation Of the growing crop,
it is possible to greatly increase the
yield of any crop grown on the farm.
The department of agriculture found
by tests that no corn plants. will drop
evenly unless the grains ars graded to
size This has led to the invention of
corn graders. When they are used the
planters do accurate work.

ALL.ARoUND FARM GATE.
This Tells How One May Be Built
Which Will Do Away with y.
All sagging.

When a gate is of considerable
length, as farm gates must be to let a
wagon pass through. there is always
danger that they will sag. and mainly
because the device used for the latch
is faulty. Try the following plan of
constructing latch and see ii 1t does
not work well. says the Indianapolis
News. Have the blacksmith bend a
piece of half-inch round iron in L

y. Suggestion 70 Farmers Who Have
Iurnaeeo-How One Nan
lGanaeed

In the winter il the time the farmer
takes to lay his plans for the future.
We think that nothing will be bet
ter worth his attention this winter
than the question o6 . storage cellar
for potatoes. .cabbages. sQuashes and
other products Of tho Aeld. There vas
q time when the CELLAR under the farm
house was cool enough in winter to
keep most Of the Vegetables that 1t
was desired to keep for some months.
But little by little the big furnace has
invaded the home of the farmer. and
the cellar is no longer the good storage
place it was, says the Farmers Re-
view. The night temperature now runs
to SO degrees and the day temperature
to 20 degrees and higher.
All farm vegetables begin to show
deterioration in q few weeks from be-
ing stored. The cabbages and beets
wilt and the potatoes shrivel and send
out sprouts, which have to be broken
of again and again to prevent the
nourishment and moisture in the po-
tato being drawn into the sprout. It
is evident that the man with fur
mace will have to arrange his cellar in
some other way than by leaving it one
open space.
Recently 3 professor in one of our
agricultural colleges was describing to
the writer most admirable cold stor-
age room In his cellar. He has fur
mace. and, as is common. the furnace
must have supply of cold air. He
has had a brick partition built across
one end of his cellar, and the cold air
for the furnace is drawn through this
room. 1t has one aperture oDening to
the outside. while. on the inside the air
goes into the cold air pipe Of the fur
mace.
There is window in the cold stor-
age room, and Of course door ad-
mits from that into the other part of
the cellar. On cool days. when the
temperature is not SO low as to freeze
the vegetables, the professor opens the
window wide and fills the vegetable
cellar with cold air, and then closes 1t
enough to admit of only the amount Of
draft necessary to keep the furnace
going.
The results are found to be admira-
BILE, and all vegetables stored there, as
well as the apples. are kept in perfect
state of preservation till used. 500

Take two cupfuls Of mashed potato,
one-half cupful of grated walnu!s, one
half cnpful of grated cracker crumbs
and the same of chopped parsley. Mix
thoroughly together, using the neces-
sary quantity of sweet milk, or, better,
cream. Season with pepper and salt.
add three tablespoonfuls CT melted
butter and beat in two eggs. Form into
croquettes, dip in beaten egg, roll in
fine cracker or breadcrulnbs and fry in
hot lard. Serve very hot with tomato
sauce.-Boston Budget.

arm should be about ten inches long.
Bore hole through the post under
the board near the edge of the post, put
the threaded end of the bent iron
through and screw on the nut. Have
the same arrangement at the lower
part of the gate. When the gate is to
be closed turn the bar so that it will
not be in the way. and SO when the
gate is closed it will rest on the bar.
Then turn the bar back SO that the up
right piece will be in position over the
board. If, after a while, the bar works
too readily, G nail may be placed in po-
sition against which the bar will rest
when it is turned.
The illustration with the drawn de-
tails shows the whole plan n such a
clear manner that anyone can con-
struct such a gate and attach the
catches.

Protection for Apple Trees.


The following from the report of the
secretary of agriculture for the year
1892 has proved satisfactory in my
case in keeping rabbits from hurting
apple trees: IA piece of closely woven
wire netting about 12x18 inches bent
around the tree and fastened by wire,
makes a sure protection ana costs
about three cents. 1t will also stop
the eating of the bark by mice and
prevent the beetle of the round-headed
borer from laying eggs, and will last
for several years. A burch of sos:
material stuck in the top will keep j:
in proper position and allow no chatting
of the tree" In my experience the
wire lasted until the trees were so
large that the rabbits did not trouble
them.
