All Gone Wrong.

"This must be good weather for
farming?" he queried, as he sat down
beside a farmer looking man in the
smoking car.
1T couldn't be wuss," was the reply.
'How's wheat looking?'
Wont be half crop"
But the hay will be all right?'
"Wuss'n the wheat
Don't you think fruit will turn out
well?'
Wont be two apples to a tree, sir"
"But there can't be anything wrong
with the potatOes?''
Il don't expect to see three to o
niil.'
"Then you think everything is all
wrong, do you?" persisted the ques-
TONER
Il do, sir. And / told the wilder
Jennings when she throwed me over

me over sir, and now if the whole

THE CRAZE For LAND.

Many's the nan-for it is more often
due to the husband than the wife-who
when gray hairs have come and his
body is stiffened with hard work and
rheumatism awakes to a realizing sense
that the yearning for the next eighty,
the inordinate desire for mere posses
sion without regard to consequences
entailed upon himself or the members
Of his family, was a most proftleSS
and disappointing ambition. He senses
the fact all too late that he can live
but one life; that the real worth and
value of life consist not in possessing
large estates, but a reasonable enjoy
ment of its advantages and blessings
as one goes along when there are still
within him and those who journey at
his side both the will and the capacity
to enjoy Some of the most misera bic
and unhappy people we have ever
known have been Of the class described,
consumed with an inordinate desire to
possess more stock, more land, have a
larger bank account and sacrificing
practically everything that makes life
worth living, only at the last when the
cup was drained, 70 realize that it con-
tanned no satisfying draft, but only
bitter dregs.

n N r. BOWSER was sitting on the
INN front steps the other evening,
v 4 watching the drawing down
of evening and the coming
forth of the bats and the cats, when a
pale faced and aesthetic young man Of
twenty-five turned in at the gate in a
hesitating way and saluted him with a
good evening. Mr. Bowser replied, and
the young man timidly mounted the
steps and said:
81 beg pardon for the intrusion, but
l wished to make an inquiry of you.
Do you know G2y one in this city
named SchermecAorl?
Not personally, ,ut I'm sure I've
seen the name in TIE papers. l think
l have read Of a Schernerhorn who is
a wealthy man."
''Can you remember lis initialsY
mo Are you after some one named
Schermerhorn?
THAT is the name Of my family"
'And how comes it that you have to
ask where they live?'
Your query is a natural one under
the circumstances, replied the young
man as he sighed and sat down.

% you say Ethel that Charley
Namely is regarded as a
bright young man"
Indeed, he is. There's no brighter
man in the whole set"
well, if you want my honest opin-
ion, he's an unsatisfactory compro-
mise between a fool ana an idiot. Don't
you dare repeat a word of it, but he
came up to the house the other evening
to propose to me-
did he think better of it?"
mo, he didn't think better of it,
smarty. He actually did propose and
did it very nicely too"
"Of course you were in a position to
compare him with several others in the
same role"
Just one more sDiteful interruption
Ethel, and l won't tell you a WORD
more. Honestly, l wanted to accept
him, but it would not do to throw my
self right at his head, 50 l reeled off the
familiar talk about its being so sudden
and left a good opening for him to try
again Not him, the ninny! He just
took his gloves, told me as he walked
to the hatrack that if a proposal was
so sudden after he had been paying ne
devoted attention for year life vas
too short for him to pursue the matter
further, and he was gone"
My own opinion is that he served
you right"
And my opinion is that you're ieal-
ous.'
"And my further opinion is that
when he makes his next proposal it
VII be to me-"
Then there was a cracking frost in
the air, and the two fair maids moved
rapidly in opposite observation-disclosures

BUILDING THE SILo.

There may be several readers of
these notes who are this year planning
to build a SilO. While there are a
number Of different designs for build
ing them and many of them have giJ-
en- very satisfactory results, we &C.
scribe here somewhat in detail tie
plans Gf 200 ton capacity silo which
has recently been built on a big dairy
farm within 4 few miles of the writ
er'S home. 1t furnishes most of the
winter ration for a herd of 100 pure
bred Jersey COWS and was built ac-
cording to the best specifications that
could be secured. The foundation con
siStS of a circular stone wall two feet
thick and measuring twenty feet i'll
diameter from outside to outside. This
is set about three feet and a half be
low the surface of the ground, the bot
tom of the silo proper consisting of six
inches of gravel, packed down and fin
ished with cement, much after the
manner of the ordinary cement walk.
The top of the wall is made perfectly
level, being finished in cement, as is
also the inside of the wall. The tower
which rests on this wall sets in about
six inches, which gives it an outside
diameter of about nineteen feet 1t is
thirty feet high and is made of by s
timberS tongued, grOoved and beveled,
bought finished and ready to put to-
gether. ANY good creamery supply
house can furnish them. In putting
together the slaves are made to vary
IN length and lap so as to Stiffen
and strengthen the structure. Section
al iron rod hoops are used to hold the
framework together When this is in
place the shoulder left on the inside
and on top of the wall is covered with
bevel of cement extending up on to
the timbers about four inches, so as to
make an air tight joint. The silo in
question is finished with cone shaped,
water tight roof and is stayed with
guy wires to prevent Overturning by
the wind. To counterfeit possible air
leaks the interior is lined with tar pa
per. The product from about thirty
acres Of corn is required to fill the silo,
on which cutting is begun about a
week before the time of harvesting for
ordinary dry fodder The last corn put
in the silo may be a little too ripe, but
this does not matter. Where help can
be had the most satisfactory way is
to have q man inside to scatter and
tramp the silage down as it is deliv-
cred from the elevator If help is
short all hands may turn in after half
days cutting and level and tramp
down. The way in which the silage
will keep depends much upon the man
ner in which this work is done There
are eleven openings three feet square,
one above another, on the side of the
silo nearest the barn, the doors being
beveled and fitted to the opening so
that the pressure from within will
make them fit the tighter. In case a
silo of smaller capacity is desired these
plans could be easily reduced. The
silage is the best possible food for
the dairy ration, but the owner of this
silo finds it excellent for the stock in
the field lot

UNSATISFACTORY CREAM TESTS

UNSATISFACTORY CREAM TESTS.
Experience of individual sellers Of
cream, together with the evidence of
those who are at present looking into
the question with a definite object in
view, seems to go to prove that the
Babcock tests as used in many of the
creameries of the country are very far
from satisfactory, and while the diff
Guilty may not be due to a desire on
the part of buyers to be dishonest, the
system of testing is decidedly unrelia-
bic and unsatisfactory. Samples of
the same batch Of cream sent to differ
ent factories will show a wide varia-
ton in the amount of butter fat. In
almost every case the test mentioned
results in advantage to the buyer, many
instances being noted where the buy
er's test showed from eight to ten
pounds less butter to 100 pounds Of
cream than shown by the churn.
Where none of the patrons of the COM
pany are holders of its stock, every
man of them is Systematically feeced
and with little opportunity for re-
dress. With cooperative creameries
the stakeholder patrons are themselves
the benefciaries, the profit made from
the low B2bcock test in the case of
those who are patrons and not stock
holders often serving to cover the cost
of making the whole output of the
creamery. The only way out for the
sufferers from a situation such as tie
one described is to secure stock in q
cooperative concern or make a united
protest to the managers of the COM
pany which handles their product. The
abuse mentioned is simply a graft that
is worked under the guise Of what has
heretofore been supposed to be an 2u-
thoritatiye and scientific method of
testing, and evidence piling up wo-ld
seem to indicate that before long there
will be a radical change.
