A very intelligent ana observing
farmer says: The Importance Of Il
mulch to counterfeit drought was
presented to me in a rather fOrcible
manner last spring. We had planted
a few rows of early beans and after
they had come up we had a cold spell,
and in order to save the beans from the
frost, they We're covered with planks.
After the danger from frost had passed.
Mt one end Of the rows the planks were
laid between the rows and left for
about two weeks, which was dry sea
son. At the other end the planks were
moved clear away. The part where the
planks were between the rows made
double the growth of the others. The
growth was evidently due to the mois-
ture saved by the planks

the cattle to go from one pasture to
the other at will. AS shown in the
sketch, the opening in the fence may
be as wide as desired. Two by twelve
inch plank are nailed to the fence posts
about four or SIX inches from the
ground, and two extra posts are set out
from the fence about foot. The plank
is nailed to the inside of these posts,
and this plank should be about four
feet longer than the one fastened to
the fence SO as to go by the opening at
each end about two feet. The hogs
cannot jump the two planks, and small
jump over, as they are lengthwise Of
hogs that go between them cannot
the opening The cattle will readily
step over. The same plan may be used
for sheep, only three planks may be
necessary to retain them, although the
writer uses only two for them also

Winterlng Bees.

-. II. Stovall says a ncighbor who
makes good living from his apiarY
successfully winters his bees through
the cold months in a cellar provided
for the purpose He states that bees
may be successfully wintercd in cellars
provided the cellar is given over entire
ly to the bees and used for no other
purpose. There is always an un-
healthy odor. that is as disastrous to
bees as anything else, emitted from de
caycd fruits, vegetables and such things
as are usually stored in cellars, The
bee collar should not be entered nor
disturbed any more than is absolutely
necessary; it should be- made a quiet,

Loss of Manure,

An authority claims that fully one
third of the manure voided on the
farms Of the United States Is lost The
fermentation Of manure is caused by
the action Of two forms of organisms
One form is that which requires an
abundance of oxygen and dies when ex-
posed to It. The former thrives on the
outside OF the heap and the latter in
the interior. The latter's Office seems
to break up the more complex PARTICLES
and prepare them for the action of the
former. IF the action Of the former
Is too rapid n great deal Of the nitro
gen passes off into the air in the form
Of ammonia or free nitrogen, and IL lost

HOW BRYAN WON HIS WIFE.
The Great Orator Needed His Wits When
He Approached Father.

Mrs. Bryan still finds much amuse-
ment in reciting the difficulties Mr..
Bryan encountered when he sought her
fathers consent to their marriage, says
The Delineator.
MANY people have remarked upon
the fondness which Mr.. Bryan shows for
quoting scripture" Mrs. Bryan has said.
This habit is one of long standing, as
the following circumstance plainly shows.
When it seemed proper for William TO
have little conversation with my ia
Their it was something of an ordeal, rs
father is rather a reserved man. In his
dilemma William sought refuge in the
scriptures and began: Mr.. Baird, |
have been reading Proverbs IA good deal
lately, and find that Solomon says.
Whose tindeth a wife tindeth n good
thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord
Father being something of Bible sChol-
ar, replied: Yes, | believe Solomon did
say that, but Paul suggests that while
he that marrieth doeth well. he that mar
rieth not doeth better Solomon
would be better authority upon this
point he rejoiueh because Paul was
never married, while Solomon had many
wives After this tilt the matter was
satisfactorily adjusted

An Historical Omission

During one of the wars of his reign tn,
Emperor Joseph IL. of Germany, arrived
at a wayside inn for the night. The
proprietress, an inquisitiye person, not
recognizing her guest, inquired if lie was
of the Empcror's encourage.
NO" replied the Emperor. Il trave
before him."
What do you do for his Majesty?
asked the woman.
Il shave him sometimes" said the EN-
peror.
The woman went away, but in few
minutes returned with her little boy witt
the request that his hair be cut.
This the Emperor was obliged to do il
order to retain his incoguito, but history
does not relate what was the appearance
of the boy when the operation was Tin.

Corn Land for the Bean Crop.

Beans may be planted late and ma
ture before a probably frost For seN-
eral years beans have borne n good
price, and If the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption of them is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting.
harvesting and thrashlng Of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re
moves a former serious objection to
their culture; and if the crop area on
farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason of the cold spring, Il
field of beans might he advantageously
used in extending the seasons crops.
Good corn land is excellent for beans.
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that Of corn, hence It
does not require any special instructin
or skill to grow them successfully.

RocI. Salt for Hoses.

For cattle and horses rock salt
and scattered about the pastures ON
the grass in summer is preferable to
any other way. Rains have little eff
feet upon it and thfs will be found
both convenient and economical For
sheep, however, this plan does not
work 50 well. The rock salt Is SO slow
to dissolve that they are not able to
get n sufficient quantity of 1t to satisfy
their wants, hence it IL necessary to
use the loose salt for them.

Nail Wounds I'm Horses Feet.

Nail Wounds I'm Horses Feet.
1t has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries in
the horses hoof may lead to an infec-
ton followed by the formation of pus
under the horn of the hoof, and Il seri-
GUS general disease of the horse, or at
least the loss of the hoof.
In a bulletin OF the South Dakota
Station, Mr. Moore recently reported
results obtained in a number of cases
from applying strict antiseptic treat
ment to injuries of this sort. The
method consists In pairing away the
horn Of the hoof from the affected
part until the blood oozes out. The
foot is then thoroughly washed In SO
luton of bichlorde OF mercury, in the
proportion OF one part to 800 parts OF
water, after which absorbent cotton,
saturated in a solution of the same
strength, is applied to the wound, ana
the whole hoof Is packed in cotton. sur
rounded by Il bandage and well coated
with tar. This prevents any further
filth from coming in contact with the
wound.
The operation must usually be done
by qualified veterinarian. SubSe-
quent treatment. however, can be ap-
piled 5y the average farmer. since all
that is necessary is to pour a little or
the solution of bichloride OF mercury
upon the cotton which projects from
the upper part of the bandage The
cotton will absorb enough of the Solu-
ton to keep the wound moistened ana
hasten the healing process. II rem
ely of this sort is not adopted In the
case of foot wound in the horse, the
owner runs considerable risk Of seri-
Gus infection either of blood poisoning
or lockjaw.
