The average man doesnot save to OK
coed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in livin ex-
penses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents pre- perly invested
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t
is the same in buying Chamberlain s

FeedinE Floor for Hogs.

When one has a number Of hogs to
feed the trough is not always the best
thing to use for the purpose. for the
swine are apt to break it down or else
are unable to get the food fast enough
to suit them, and so get to quarreling.
One of the best methods Of feeding Is
a large pan or floor made Of cement
and rough logs; this may be of any
dimensions desired, although it is best
made just wide enough SO that the ami
mails can feed from both sides, which
will accomplish much in the way of
keeping them out of it with their feet.
Make the frame of rough lumber or of
logs cut in half and some six or eight
inches high.
Fasten this frame securely at the
corners and also fasten securely to the
floor so that the swine will not root it
up. Then make a floor inside of ce-
ment, not making it very thick, but of
about the same grain as would be
used for a stable floor. If desired the
frame may include a board floor over
which the cement floor is laid. The
edge will prevent the corn from being
pushed aside and trampled upon. It is
not intended to use this feeding floor
for slop or fol-. soft food of any kind
but only for grain, roots and roughage
The illustration shows the plan clearly
and any n can easily build such q

Spots on Surface of Luminary Ind
cate Great Present Disturbances.
The recent appearance OF immense
| groups of spots upon the sun, taken
in connection with the vagaries OF
| the weather during the past winter,
! and with the suggestion Of Professor
Samuel T. Langley that the radiation
Of the sun has. within the past two
! OF three years. undergone measurable
variations affecting the general tenn
perature OF our planet, brings the SUB
ject Of the cause and nature OF sun
spots. and their possible effect upon
the earth, once more prominently be-
fore the public. 1t Is n question that
oncerns all mankind. If the supposed
effect exists, orr interest Is not diInin-
ished by the fact that it is a thing
completely beyond human control or
interference. But. being forewarned.
and understanding the nature or the
disturbing forces, We may, concelva-
bly,, mitigate the results to ourselves.
Just now the sun is approaching a
state Of maximum disturbance. Some
thing Is going on in his mighty globe
which produces tremendous u~pheavals
on his surface. and these are accom-
panied by the appearance OF black
spots. so large as occasionally TO De
visible to the naked eye. although we
are so, 100000 miles away from them.
Just what these spots are we do not
know, but there are excellent reasons
for believing that they show the exist
ence Of vast expanses Of cooler mate
rial floating in the philosophers of the
sun, somewhat like masses of cooled
Stag on the surface of liquid iron. II
they were extensive enough to cover
all, or nearly all, of the solar surface,
the sunlight and the supply Of heat
would be practically cut off from the
earth, and it would cease to be a hab1-
table globe.
Some Of the distant suns in the heav-
ems have apparently reached this
stage, and thus have persisted; others
are far advanced in the same direc-
| ton, and many of these exhibit enor-
nous variations of light, alternately
faring up and then dying down like
bonfires. Our sun, however, seems to
be only in the first stage Of this great
process Of gradual extinction, and the
| variations caused in the amount of his
radiation have not yet become serious
enough to threaten disaster to his at
tendant planets. Still, they are great
enough to attract attention, and their
effects upon the earth may unques-
tionably be measured provided we can
discover the precise manner. in which
they manifest themselves. That they
are somehow related to magnetic
storms is now fairly well settled, but it
remains to determine their precise re-
1ationship to the weather and to the
atmosphere-Garrett P. Serviss, in

After careful inquiry it has been
found that the average haul Of the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest snip
ping station is twelve miles, and the
average cost of hauling over the COM
mon country roads is % cents a ton
per mile, or So Il ton for 4 twelVe-mlle
haul, says Portland O~reSonian. An
estimate places the total o hauled
at 300, 100000 a year. On the estimate
of So a ton for twelve miles this would
make the total cost Of getting the sur
plus products Of the farm to the local
market or to the railroad no less than
5000, OOO-a figure greater than the
operating expenses Of all the railroads
Of the United States. If anything could

Proper Storage of Apples

To decide properly to which kind Of
storage h grower or buyer shall send
his fruit requires the best of Judgment,
for many factors must be considered In
making the choice and upon their just
balancing will depend, to quite an ex-
tent, the profit or loss in handling the
crop. Growers, generally, are more in
crested In storage this year, probably
thar usual. To all growers, to those
who usually hold more or less Of their
fruit for winter sale or home use, and
to the buyers who must plan for the
best keeping Of the purchased fruit,
the bulletins of the agricultural expert
mcnt stations will be of interest and
value. One Of these discusses critically
the factors which influence the keep
ing quality Of apples, as ascertained
through many years experience at he
station or by correspondence and in
terviews with the leading apple hand
lers of the country. 1t also gives de-
tailed results Of the storage Of 16o va
rieties Of apples, in the ordinary tenn
perature room of the station fruit stor-
age house, or in q cold storage build
ing, with notes upon most Of the varie-
ties as handled by practical storage
men.
