to tell me the reason for this unusual
house cleaning.

cleaned on Ascension day they remained
brighter and cleaner than when cleaned
on any other day. Rivermen are great
believers in signs but all the boats in
this vicinity certainly look spick and

silo does away with much of the disa-
greeable work of corn harvesting and
furnishes a food for the cows as good
as the green food in the shape of

within reasonable distance of you who
owns a silo it will pay to visit and talk
with him.

When Turkish towels grow thin from
long usage they may be made to serve
better by dipping in thin starch and
using unironed.
Mating is greatly improved if gone

Stacking Alfalfa.

Throughout the western half of the
United States alfalfa hay is commonly
stored in stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks of grass hay. In the arid
regions there is little danger from
rains during the season Of storage, but
in humid climates it is necessary to
store the hay in barns or else cover
the stacks with large tarpaulins, or
they may be topped with grass. 9th
erwise the percentage of waste is very
large. In any case there is likely to
be some waste, for which reason the
stacks are made large, thus reducing
the proportionate amount of waste. In
the alfalfa regions of the west the
stacks are as high as the hay can be
handled easily and mag be 200 feet Or
more in length. The size of the stack
is then limited chiefly by the conve-
nience in bringing the hay from the
surrounding field.

THE FOOD PoISoNERs.

When food is so bad that it kills a
dog it must be bad enough not to sell
to human beings. Yet it is precisely the
adulterants put upon our tables and
served to us in hotels and restaurants
which are killing the dogs. A chemist
in Atlantic City has been conducting
a series of experiments by feeding these
preservatives, substitutes and coloring
matters to dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits,
and the results are fatal. Post mortem
examinations show the results of actual
poison. These materials are eaten by
men. women and children. They are
served in breadstuffs; they are used in
canned goods; they are employed by the

sausages; they enter into the compost.
