1t Is usual to calculate 4 bushel of
ear corn in the Grip as two and one
half cubic feet in volume In Profes-
sor G.. s. Plumbs book on Indian
Corn Culture he gives this rule for
measuring corn in the crib: Multiply
the length, breadth and height of the
crib together in feet TO obtain the cubic
feet of space it contains. Multiply this
product by 4. strike Off the right-hand
figure and the result will be the mum.

1t will be observed that this rule
really figures two and one-half cubic
feet of the ear corn as equal to 8

is only approximately correct to cal

dry and sound, it will usually pay tho

Nest Boxes.

In constructing nest boxes there are
several points that should be kept con-
stantly in mind. writes a poultryman.
1. The box should be of such q
form that 1t can be readily cleaned and
thoroughly disinfected. If it is NOV
able so that ii can be taken out of
doors so much the better.
2. 1t should be placed IN a dark
place. or where there is only just suffi-
cient light for the fowl to distinguish
the nest and nest egg.
3. There should be plenty of room
on two or three sides of the nest. 1t
is well-known fact that some hens.
no matter how many vacant nests may
be available, will persist in going on to
a nest already occupied. If the nest
is so placed that it can be approached
only from one side, when one hen is
driving another from the nest there is
likely to be more or less of q combat,
the result of which is often a broken
egg. This. perhaps, more than any one
thing. leads to the vice OF egg-eating.
To the writer's knowledge the habit of
egg-eating Is not contracted where the
nests are placed in The dark and open
on two or three sides.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul, Minnesota On the windows
of the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in the
windows were displays of wheat, oats,
barley, other grains and vegetables,
which he was told were grown in West
ern Canada. This could be readily be-
lieved. for in no other country on the
Continent would it be possible to grow
such splendid specimens. The world is
now pretty we'll advised that in the
growing of such cereals as have been
named, and vegetables as well, the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta have no competitor. For
several years past specimens have been
exhibited at State and County Fairs
throughout the States. and these exhib-
its are looked upon as one Of the CHIEF
attractions. They have demonstrated
what can be done in the climate of a
country possessing soil that will grow
things But that It was possible to grow
vegetables such as were seen there
seemed to create some doubt. But it
was the case. And apples. too. Not
of course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such cul-
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the "Hoosier"
farmers were forced to stop and think.
When a similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks.
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: THAT is much ahead Of any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not So
and-So sent us samples grown on his
own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think of the
yegetables-and such vegetables, Why,
we thought everything was frozen up
there, and these turnips, cabbages,
caulifiowers, beets, mangolds, pumpkins
and squashes are away ahead Of any,
thing we ever saw grow" That is the
story everywhere. Thousands of West
ern Canada homesteaders, formerly
United States citizens, are growing just
such grain, Just such vegetables, which
yield them a splendid profit with little
outlay on the farms that they have Sc

There is no better way to preserve
apples for long keeping III an ordi-
nary house cellar than TO pack them
In oats. Choose none but tho perfect
fruit of your choicest varieties See
that each apple is sound clear through.
Put layer of oats in n clean bar
rel and on this single layer of ap-
pies, so laid in that they hardly touch
one another. Add another layer Of
oats, then apples again and continue
until the barrel is full when 1t can be
headed up. Barrels packed In this
way should be left in the barn or in
some tight outbuilding until the APP
proach OF winter weather. 1t will take
a low temperature to injure them.
When there is danger of their freezing
move the barrels into the cellar and
leave them until wanted.
The secret of their keeping is that
the oats absorb any excess OF moisture
and keep the apples in an even tenn
peratu1e. Even il one apple should
rot Ii would not affect It's nearest
.neighbor. When the apples are taken
out for use the oats can be fed to

now. This can be done fairly accu-
rately by examining their teeth. OF
course, the care and management and
feed modify things 10 some extent, but
until the sheep is ; years old its age
can be very nearly estimated. At or
near the age OF year the two middle
permanent incisors appear. These can
be distinguished from the lamb teeth
by their shape and size, the lamb teeth
being smaller with narrower crowns
At 2 years of age. or thereabouts, the
second pair. one tooth on each side OF
the first pair. comes in. At 3 years of
age the third pair. one tooth on each
side of the second pair, appear; and
when the sheep is years old it has o
full mouth of teeth. four pairs of in.
cisors. 1t is needless to say that the
sheep does not have incisors. front
teeth, in the upper jaw. When sheer
has a full mouth it is safe to say that
it is at least 4 or years of age. after
which its age can only be guessed.

You are charged with telling for
tunes without n license" was the ac-
cusation of John y. Swenson. city at
tOrney, against j. Campbell, of 213
Missouri avenue in police court this
morning, says the Kansas City Star.
Campbell was arrested several days
ago forfailing to comply with the ordi-
nance which provides that clairvoyants
and fortune tellers must pay 500 Ii
cense a year.
This man runs q small store at o13
Missouri avenue" w. H. Harrison Ii
cense inspector, said. but he gets
most of his money telling fortunes"
How do you know that?" Campbell,
who is small man with white hair
and bushy black eyebrows, asked
sharply.
You had an advertisement in the
clairvoyant column Of the Sunday pa
per- answered Harrison.
Yes and in there l said l would
give readings OF the palm free. I don't
charge cent judge. l simply, give the
palm readings as a premium with the
sale of my goods. Whenever a person
comes irto the store and gets shirt
or a pair, of overalls or collar, or
even candy. just to make them salts
fed with the proposition 1 read their
palm and tell their future"
a new way of advertising, ehY'
grunted Judge Kyle.
That's the truth" said a woman
who was a witness for Campbell. Il
heard about this man and went down
there. When l got shirt for my hus-
band, Mr. Campbell told me my future.
So then my husband got another shirt
and had his fortune told. After that
1 told another woman and she got a
shirt for her husband. But he wasn't
satisfied to have the wife have her
fortune told, so he got shirt himself
and had Campbell tell him what was
going to happen in the future. In oar
neighborhood lately everybody's buying
shirts at this store. They about ran
the mans stock out"
Judge Kyle was puzzled.
"Why don't you get license to do
this work. he asked Campbell.
II don't need any, judge. I'm not
selling the fortunes. I'm selling the
goods. It's merely legitimate advertis-
ing"
Il don't think so,' said Judge Kyle
after making many marks on his books
and using much thought. L believe
that IL ! let you go. there wouldn't be
any more clairvoyant licenses in this
town. Everybody would go into the
store business and do clairvoyant work
on a common SD occupation license.
There's more money in 1t. And so the
fine is $50"

Profits on Young Animals.

1t is loss TO keep an animal four
years if it can be gotten into market
when 3 years oil, for the years time
saved means labor and food, as well
as interest on capital invested. With
the use of such beef producing breeds
as the Shorthorns, Herefords, Angus
and Galloways, an average of 1000
pounds per animal has been obtained
in four years, while 3-year-olds have
reached 1,S00 pounds, and 2-year-olds
1,2oO pounds, the daily increase being
over two pounds for the yearlings up
to 2 years old, and from one and one
half pounds TO one and three-fourths
pounds for older animals. The live
