would return in rent a fair interest on
this vast sum.
All these problems made the work
Of the architects peculiarly difficult.
They planned an eighteen-story build
ing, its foundation resting on bedrock,
rising 220 feet above the sidewalk.
The architects planned one Office for
each floor, and in order that these Of
fees might not be spoiled by pillars and
dividing walls omitted all internal col
umns, relying upon steel frame, SCI
entifically braced, to withstand the
wind or the earthquake, for all sup
port. This frame will be covered with
a skin of stone.
1t required some ingenuity to utilize
every inch of space, but this was es-
sential, for land at 5000 a square foot
may not be wasted. On each floor are
to be toilet rooms for men and women.

ventilated with a specially designed ap-
paratus, which keeps the air pure and
cool without opening windows, for In
such a building draughts would be in
evitable were the widows alone to be
relied upon for ventilation.
The plot on which this building Is to
stand Is about the most valuable bit
Of land In the world The original
owner held 1t for long time, and
many years ago a would-be buyer offer
ed to pave the plot with silver dollars
and give them as Its price. The owner
was at first inclined to accept this
offer, but on figuring on 1t while
said he would not sell for less money
than would pave 1t with gold dollars.
This proposition was rejected. Many
offers have been made since, but none
Of them came up to the owners Idea Of
Its value until some st. Louis capital
lists, who now own 1t, made the offer
Of $4,400,000, which was accepted. So
far as can be learned, no other piece Of
land ever brought so high a price.
The total Investment will be $5, ,1OO,-
900. Owners of Office buildings expect
to get 10 per cent year in rents,
which, after paying interest and ex-
penses Of management, leaves them
only about four per cent Therefore,
these owners must get $4,000 a year
for the eighteen floors, or more than
$4,000 a floor. This means that for
less than 1,200 square feet Of office
room tenant must pay more than $23
square foot.

DREAM MYSTERY.

The Events that May he Crowded
Into "a Few Seconds.
The duration of dream is so seldom
accurately measured that a story pub
lished in the st. Louis Medical Record
Is worth repeating.
The writer, doctor, was seized with
an uncomfortable drowsiness during a
call and was struggling to keep awake
when he was asked by his companion,
How long may you stay in B.?' His
answer, which came promptly enough,
was, THAT depends on the Western
Union," and, catching himself, he ex-
planned that he was expecting tele.
gram. In fact, however, his answer re.
rated to the facts of dream which
had been sandwiched between the two
parts of the sentence.
After hearing the words "How long,
the doctor had dozed off, dreamed that
after long and tedious experiments he
had invented wonderful apparatus
for holding telegraph poles in a verti-
cal position, had negotiated with the
postal company for its sale, but I'M
successfully, and had finally gone to
the authorities Of the other company.

considering German invention for the

ences to the intending purchaser and
was writing reply when he woke in
time to hear the end of his comoan-
ions question.
The events of the dream had appar-
emily consumed months, yet the actual
time that elapsed was merely that re-
quired for uttering about four short
words.

A gentleman travelling in Europe en-

asked his servant to enter his name in

Of that country. The man replied that
he had already anticipated the order,
and registered him as an American
gentleman of means. But how did
you write my name?" asked the master

watch for Seed Authorizations.


The work Of different experiment sta
tions has shown that large number Of
foreign seeds are contained in clover
and alfalfa seed, including the dod-
ders, which are so destructive to alfal-
ia, and a large number Of bad weed
pests like the narrow plantain, wild
mustard and host of new weeds.
One Impure sample Of last years sup
ply contained thirty-two species of for
eign seeds, including both species of
dodder, the plantains, many common
weeds, three species Of Western weeds
that are new in Ohio and as many
European weeds that have been here
tofore unknown in this State. At least
dozen new weeds have been intro
duced into Ohio in alfalfa seed during
half as many years.
While this Is unacceptable 1t is still
more so to get only black medick (yel-
low trefoiD plants as many have done,
where supposed alfalfa seed was sown.
In these times Of high-prlced seeds
there Is temptation to adulterate with
cheap seeds like the black medick, ETC.,
which have very slight value as forage
plants with us; there is like disposi-
ton to offer seeds with many weed
seeds, at low prices. Both these dan
gers are real. Intending purchasers of
such seeds will do well to be assured of
their quality.

Here's plan Of granary to hold 5000
bushels of grain the walls are of stone,
and an elevator Is arranged to work
by horse power. A granary 30 hold
5000 bushels will require to be % feet

bins, size 10 feet by feet, and feet
high. This will also allow for a pas
sage across the middle of the building y
feet wide, which will give access to all
OF the bins and can be used for cleaning
grain, as well as storing small imple-
ments. The floor should be raised four
feet from the ground to make 1t dry
and convenient for loading grain, as
well as to provide for the elevator, and
betting below the floor. The walls be-
ing of stone, should be 13 feet high
this will provide for 4 feet below the
floor, one foot for floor, then feet to
the plates; this will give one foot clear

To arrange an elevator for horse
power, hopper that will hold at least
80 bushels should be sunk in the floor
close to the door and at one side to
empty grain for the wagon. The ele-
vator Is an ordinary built elevator with
buckets standing upright and in the
rear corner of center bin. The box at
bottom of elevator must be close on the
ground to be connected with the deliv-
cry hopper by spout, with sufficient
slope that the grain will run freely.
The elevator will discharge well above
the upper joists into hopper in the
center of the building, to which a fun
nel-shaped spout is attached that can
be shifted to deliver into any of the
bins. The horse power should be plac-
ed at the end of the granary, and driv-

For CaIIoused Shoulders.

A farmer in North Dakota gives his
method of treatment and cure of cal
loused shoulders of work horses In the
Dakota Farmer, which he says he has
used with uniform success, as follows
II cut slit in the front part of the
collar opposite the callous, then cut
another slit at right angles across the
first one. I then take out enough of
the filling to allow for callous. After
soaking face of collar in warm water
I lay the front part, where cuts have
been made, on plank or something
solid, and pound face of collar where
1t presses on callous, with round-faced
hammer, till sufficient hollow has
been made. This plan will work
whether collar has been used with or
without pad. Then when the horse
comes In from work bathe the callous
In water as hot as can be borne and
paint with iodine. You will find this
plan worth trying and will guarantee
the collar will not be injured"

Shipping Hay to Dealers.

During the last two years number
OF rogues in different sections of the
country have been offering a consldera.
BILE advance on the market price Of hay
and thousands of tons have been ship
ped to these people for which the pro-
Queer received little or no return. With
hay, as with other articles of farm
produce, 1t is usually best to sell 1t as
near home as possible. In every farm.
Ing center there are reliable dealers
who will pay fair price for such pro
ducts and pay spot cash for them. True,
they sell them at an advance, but it is
almost impossible for the grower to
reach these outside sources of demand,
hence he can better afford to let the
local dealer make dollar or two than
he can to take any chances In shipping
himself, and especially to people OF
whom he knows nothing. The writer
yearly sells his surplus hay to local
liveryman and gets the cash on deltv.

ship to the city at an advance on the

Preventing Cedar Rust,

The disease called cedar rust, which
spreads to apple trees from cedar ap.
pies, commonly carried on cedar trees
and pasture savins, has been investi.
gated at the Nebraska station with the
conclusion that spraying with bordeaux
mixture will keep the disease In check,
making the application when the cedar
apples on cedar trees show the orange
color, followed with another spraying
ten days or two weeks later. 1t Is also
recommended to destroy cedar trees or
at least to get out the cedar apples for
a considerable distance around the or.
chards. Where spraying is carried ON
for apple soab, ETC., the same spraying
would answer for the rust
Thunder Storms and Sour Milk.
The primary cause Of sour milk Is
the growth of certain bacteria that are
always very numerous in the air and
cannot be kept out of the milk. These
are most abundant during damp, heavy
Gather, which usually accompanies
thunder storms; as such weather Is par
ticularly favorable to their develop
ment. Hence, the popular notion that
thunder storms make milk sour.
Grubs in cattle are caused by the
gadfiy depositing Its eggs on the backs
of cattle, and the young larvae, after
issuing from the egg, bores Its way
through the animals skin and remains
lodged in the cellular tissue until Il
attains maturity. The grub may be dc.
tected BY swelling Of the skin Of the
animal. The swelling should be
squeezed, which will cause the larvae
to be elected. If 1t is not easily re-.
moved, small opening should be made
in the skin with a sharp-pointed knife,
and the larvae may then bs extracted
