1t is very important to provide some
means by which the dairy COW can be
supplied with good food at all seasons
of the year in order that she may yield
milk most economically. Such medium
may be found In the silo which fur
nishes a place for the storing Of food
in the form of silage. 1t Is we'll
known fact that the nearest an ideal
food that can be obtained for the dairy
cow IS good pasture; but for several
months in the year green pasture is
not available At such times the best
substitute are corn sllage and such
roots as mangels and turnips. Corn
yields an average of twice as much
dry matter per acre as root crops and
since the latter involve much more la
Dor, and greater expense, silage IS far
more economical.

superiority of the Mule.

The mule is less nervous than the
horse and therefore loses less energy in
useless fretting. In fact, one Of the
chief characteristics of the mule is his
ability to take care OF himself under
all circumstances, says Farming. Much
Of the apparent Sinking which IS
charged against the mule is IN Unborn
tendency TO husband his strength and
make every effort count. The result
Of this instructive care on the part Of
the mule is that he Is able to turn out
more work than would be possible for
horse of the same weight under the
same conditions. The mule Instructive
lily avoids holes, sharp obstacles, barbed
wire fences and various other forms of
danger which are not 50 successfully
avoided by horses. 1t is a matter Of
common observation that in instances
where mules run away they seldom In
jure themselves to any serious extent.

Permanent TrcIlis OF Wire.

The scarcity OF bean poles forces me
to resort to other means Of giving sup
port to my lima beans, says a gardener
In Farm and FireSide. At one time |
thought we could get around the diff
ficulty by planting the newer bush
limas The latter however have never
gwen me more than a fraction Of the
crop that | can and do get from my
pole limaS. and now | plant the lat
ter exclusively. They are trained to
post, wire ana string trellis.
Posts should he set firmly, and not
too far apart. ! use galvanized wire
Of fair strength and find it good for IA
number of years. 1t has TO stand quite
strain, as the load of thrifty vines is
very heavy. and |. therefore, give as
much support, by supplementary stakes
lbetwccn the posts, as is convenient.
The wires are made to rest in Il crotch
ut the upper end of the pole or stake.
To make the trelis still stronger,

now put several rows side 10y side, and
connect the posts and stakes across the

For each row | stretch two wires,

support for the limas, and the vines

ably so, to the strings, even without
much assistance or coaxiug on the part

always present in cream; some have

The former should be made Of selected

Plague Of Fleas.

Philadelphia is tormented with II
plague of f1eas The insects have come,
true to the warning Of the department
Of agriculture, which has found that diff
ferent sections of the state are being set
upon almost simultaneously by the pests
While the overpopulated Stun districts
suffer particularly. they do not suffer
alone. The flea loves blue blood, and
he has descended upon the fashionable
residential sections in full force. Beside
this new plague, that of mosquitoes still
unchecked is as nothing.
Because of the tea's sturdy physique
the problem of his determination is a
serious one. He SCOTS at the incense of
Chinese punk, and plies his trade upon
the plump arm which waves it.
Naturalists. however, admire the flea,
and cannot be induced to say much
against him.
"A plague of Aeas," said one; sup
pose there is. They won't hurt you"
He then asked if it were generally
known that man equipped with the
kickers of flea might leap, without eff
fort. to the b-Gm of William PENIS hat,
on the city hall tower, $50 feet up.

SettIn. Fence Posts.

Some farmers argue That Ii is best to
set posts early in th" fall, when the
ground is solid. OF course. Il post care
fully set at any time will remain in its
place, but the fan season Is really Il
much worse time than in the spring
Digging the hole makes the soil loose,
and If done in the fall Fl has not time
to become compact again. Water fiji
tiers down through the loose soil, which
will raise the post a little every year
until it throws it ou' altogether. If
the soil has time to settle ii ubSorbs
less moisture, and after the first year,
if the heaying out has NOT already be-
gun, ii will rarely begin

Spreading Manure,

When the manure is not decomposed
in the heap it must be decomposed in
the soil before the plants can utilize it
as food, and the sooner the manure Is
spread the better 1t will be for the crop.
As It IS difficult to spread manure on
plowed ground. owing to the labor
of hauling over the rough, soft ground.
the method practiced by those who
plow twice Is to spread the manure on
the unplowed ground In the rough (not
narrowing, and when the land Is cross.
plowed later on the manure Is more IN
timately mixed with the soil.

The enormous material wealth of the

and other buildings wholly devoted to
the purposes of instruction.
The city OF New / ork includes. Of
course. by far the largest proportion of
these holdings. though in the matter Of
church property the land and buildings
outside of the city of New York repre-
sent total yaue of $40, 100000.
The Federal government has 10000

MEANING IN ORIENTAL RUGS.
Significance Among Eastern Nations Of
the Colors Used

Not only the designs but the colors
of rugs woven IN the Orient are full vi
significance.
They represent national or individual
traditions. they stand for virtues and
vices, social Importance or social ostra-
cism.
They are the result says The Flee
tic Church Magazine, of the political
and religious histories of the countries
in which they were made.
Tyrian purple is almost universally re-
garded as royal.
Red was regarded by the Egyptians as
symbolic of fidelity.
Green has been chosen by the Turk
as his gala color. but he would not APP
prove its use in rugs whore it would be
troddcu by the feet.
Rose tints signify the highest wisdom.
black and indigo sorrow, with the Per-
SLAMS. Preference for duller tone of
color among the Persians give to ali
their ambroiderieS and other products of
the loom a certain richness and dignity.

Winter Wheat:

The Importance of the winter wheat
crop becomes more apparent when we
consider that the annual production of
the country IS from 10o0oo,O 600 to 49,
100000 bushels greater than the annual
Weld Of spring wheat, and that about
twenty-four states and territories grow
winter wheat exclusively, while only
eleven grow spring wheat, and eight
produce both crops together. Some of
the advantages In growing winter
wheat over raising spring wheat are
more convenient distribution of farm
work the conservation of soil fertl-
ity by the growing crop during the time
the land would othcrwiSr he bare; 4
better development of the crop, rs it

hot weather of summer, ana the pro
