"a $1,000 GRANGE Hall.

Prosperous New York Grange Has
New Home.
West Henrietta az. " grange re-
Gently dedicated a new grange hall
which will compare favorably with the
best halls in the state. The time
chosen for the dedication Of the hall
was the ninth anniversary of the or
ganization of the grange, which started
in 1896, with SO charter members, and
today has over 300 members in good
standing. The new hall is 36x72 feet
and is two stories above the basement.
The dining room and kitchen are in
the basement which is finished in
Georgia pine and is sufficiently above
ground to give plenty of light. The
first floor is fitted up for public hall
and opera house and is equipped with
300 fine opera chairs, stage with cur
tains and other fixtures and a piano.
The floors are hard wood and nicely
polished. The second floor is exclu-
sively for grange purposes and is fur
nished with large anterooms and cloak
rooms, also toilet rooms. The grange
hall proper is 36x55 feet, with sixteen
foot ceiling. The interior decorations
are in good taste, the metal ceiling
giving the room very neat appear
ance. The grange has another fine
piano in the grange hall. The hall
cost over $1,000, one-half of which was
raised by voluntary contributions be-
fore the building was begun. The
building is heated throughout by
steam. West Henrietta grange is in
most prosperous condition, having In
itiated over 100 candidates during the
past year, and at this writing has nine
teen candidates for initiation at the
next meeting. Overseer George A.

flesh is white and firm, quality very
ordinary, about on a par with Timber
Twig, and scarcely as good as Ben
Davis. The claim made by the pro-
moters that the Spencer seedless apple
contains % per cent more apple sub
stance than other varieties of the
same size is scarcely borne out in
the specimens examined, as the sub
stance lost by the large open calyx
basin would quite offset any gain in
the spaces normally occupied by seeds.
A pome or applelike fruit is, boz
tanically, the enlarged and softened
flower stem oyergrowing the oyary or
true fruit made up of woody or bony
carpets (core plates and seeds. In the
Spencer and other seedless apples the
seeds alone are absent, but the OBJ
jectionable core is present as usual
Unless the seedless variety should pos
sess in addition unusual good quality
or other valuable attributes it is not
easy to see why it should be particu-
larry desirable except as a curiosity.
We are told the Spencer apple pro-
moters expect to develop seedless vari-
cites Of commercial apples, such as
Winesap. Jonathan, Bellfower and Ga
no. This can only be done by the usual
breeding methods of cross polarization
and careful selection of succeeding gen
erations. While it is within the range
of possibility that seedless varieties re-
sembling to some extent our present
successful commercial apples may in
time be secured, such result is most
uncertain and likely to require in
definite time
The Kieffer pear is as likely to drive
Bartlett, Bose, Clapp and the other
good ones out of business as this seed
less apple is to dispose of Baldwin,
Northern Spy and other standard sorts.

A Massachusetts Method.

An agricultural exhibit by each
grange is a helpful feature and directly
in line with the purposes Of our Order,
says w. n Howard, secretary of Mas
sachusetts state grange. A little effort
and a little planning now will prepare
your grange for the harvest exhibit
later on. Ashburnham grange devel-
oped this plan of work: Last year the
lecturer presented to many of the mem
bers a seed potato which was to be
planted and increase exhibited In the
fall Later they observed potato
night A long table in the center of
the hall was well laden with exhibits,
and papers were read relating to po-
tato raising and an interesting discus
sion followed. A prize was given to the
one presenting the best exhibit. Music
was interspersed and games and potato
races followed, after which potato
chips were served.

MIX For Calf Feeding.

Stale, cold skim milk is a fruitful
cause of scours in calves. and removal
Of the froth is a secondary considera-
ton where such milk is used, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Milk for calf feed
ing should be warm, fresh and clean,
fed from clean pals. If dirty pals are
used and cold, stale milk fed, scours al
most invariably follow, and when the
scours are not fatal a stunted calf is
the usual result. It is also not an I'M
common error TO feed too much skim
milk, trying to make up in quantity
for the distracted fat.

SlLO INSIDE THE BARN.
Convenience Of Feeding One of the
Advantages of This Plan.


Advantages of This Plan.
There are some advantages in hav-
ing a silo inside the barn. 1t is conven-
lent for feeding, protected from the
frost and. if properly arranged, is more
convenient to fill, says L. w Lightly
in National Stockman Then the cost
is considerably reduced, as the barn
roof is also the silo roof and often
part of the barn frame will help to
form the slo walls. In planning a new
barn it is advisable to include the silo
In the same structure and locate the
silo doors as near the feeding alley as
possible. as that will save considerable
labor in feeding, and in these times la
Dor on the farm means dollars.
The cheapest, best and most conven-
lent barn is the round or circular barn,
with the silo in the center The silo ex-
tends from the ground up to the peak
thirty to forty or more feet high. Such
barn is compact, roomy, light in all
the stalls, convenient to fill and also
to edo the chores After studying
the merits of both circular and Rec
tangular barns / am fully convinced
that the circular form is preferable In
every way, and personally should
build no other were to build again.
If we wish to feed forty pounds of
silage to each COW per day, and that is
fair ration, we may for practical
work call that amount a cubic foot,
averaging from top to bottom Of siIo,
and thus to feed fifteen animals would
require fifteen cubic feet per day and
for eight months 5000 cubic feet But
the silage win settle quite considerably
after filing the silo, depending, of
course, on how fast it is filed, how fine
cut, etc, but we must make some al
lowance, usually onefourth. Then it is
well to have some silage left over for
the August drought, SO we might add
1000 cubic feet to the above, making
1t 4 600 cubic feet capacity.
A round silo to contain this might be
fifteen feet in diameter and thirty feet
ulSH, Ut, IL we coulu go up HlSHer, we
might reduce the diameter accordingly,
and that might be desirable, as we
should remove from the surface for
best results about ~ inches daily. To
do this where but fifteen head of cat
tie are fed the inside diameter of the
silo should not be above 1914 feet.
Then to contain 1900 cubic feet that
siIo should be thirty-eight feet high.

why straw berry Plants Die.

Many strawberry plants die because
they are kept too long after being dug
before transplanting. Some die because
set too deep and the crown or center
of the plant is covered. But in a dry
time more plants die from a lack Of
pressure on the soil about the roots
than from all other causes. In wet
season they will live If left on top Of
the soil with no earth to cover the
roots. Plants out of the ground are like
fish out of water. Therefore the sooner
they are in their natural element the
lower the death rate -Ameriean Agri-
culturist.

The votes represented by the nearly

Arbor Day and ChiIdren's Day In
New Hampshire.
III. O. Hadley, master of the New
Hampshire state grange, has set
worthy example in promulgating an
order to the subordinate oranges of the
state relative to their observance of
Arbor day and Children's day. He ap-
pointed an Arbor day for the oranges
IN that state and advised that special
effort be made to plant trees and
shrubs by the roadside, in the yards
and grounds Of schools and near grange
halls as well as around the homes. His
order to the subordinate oranges of
New Hampshire relative to the observ-
ance of Childrens day is 50 complete
IN itself and SO full of suggestions to
other oranges that we give it in full.
He says:
This is to remind you that, although our
Order is in very hourishing and pros
porous condition, its future depends large

ommend that every subordinate grange in
New Hampshire take proper measures to
observe the day in such a manner as viii
both interest and instruct the children.
Let us get together at our respective
grange halls and so far as possible, have
the exercises conducted by the children.
They may then early become interested

are called upon to fill the places Of those

Foods For Milk Making

During his address before the late
meeting Of the Vermont Dairymen's as
ISOLATION Professor Hills spoke of the
fact that it is being found as one of
the results of scientific research, that
less protein is required in the com
pounding of feeding rations for milk
cows than had hitherto been consider
ed necessary. AS protein is an expen-
sive Ingredient in feed formulas this
conclusion viii lead to reduction in
cost and hence be of more or less value
to farmers
Alfalfa as Grain Substitute.
A Tennessee experiment station has
recently concluded a series Of expert
ments showing that alfalfa hay can be
substituted for grain in dairy rations to
marked advantage. In the conclusion
touching on this point the station says.
In substituting alfalfa hay for wheat
bran it will be best to allow one and
half pounds of alfalfa to every pound
of wheat bran, and the result will like
ly prove more satisfactory if the al
falfa is fed in finely chopped condi-
tion.''
Corn and Alfalfa.
The experiments conducted at the
New Jersey station show that the av-
erage cost per ton of dry alfalfa hay
for five years. even with heavy manur-
ing, was but $500 and that the feed
value Of this hay compares favorably
with the protein feeds, which at pres
ent cost $22 or more a ton. This crop
more than any other fulfills that very
important requirement, a cheap source
of protein for balancing other home
grown products. It's growth cannot
be too strongly recommended. An
ideal situation would be where the
farm Is growing corn and alfalfa to
supply the entire needs of the herd. g

Beet Pulp and Brewers Grains.
The manager of the creamery at Hol-
land. Mich, reports a serious loss in
favor and consequent value in its
make Of butter the past year on ac-
count of being situated too near beet
sugar factory and the farmers feeding
too much beet pulp and emitting the
grain ration, says Hoard's Dairyman
It is much with the wet beet pulp
as 1t is with the wet brewers grains
they very soon ferment and become
sour, and the feeding managers are q
reeking mass Of half rotten material.
All this plays the mischief with the
milk.
