two days were warm enough to make
the average temperature for the week
slightly above normal. Local showers
occurred in all parts of the state, the
largest amounts of rainfall being re.
ported from the southern, eastern and
north central districts. The wet
weather caused some delay in thrash

of loss will be small. The rain was

cut for seed with present prospects
favorable for a good crop. Fall pillow
ing is progressing rapidly, with the
soil in the best of condition. Reports
indicate large yield of peaches and 6
good crop of grapes. Pastures were
never better at the close of August.

ventiIatina Cellars.

Many people are asking how to ven
tilate the cellar in summer. First, do
not open all the windows and let the
wind blow through at all times. Hot
air let in ON cold iron pipes, stone
walls, foundations. etc., will condense
and cause dampness. Then the iron
will rust. During very warm weather
no wind at all should be allowed to
enter the cellar and of course In or.
der to prevent this the doors and win.
dows must be kept shut tightly. An.
other plan suggested is to keep one
window open all the time on the east
side. This ventilates a clean cellar
adequately and the temperature varies
but slightly. no matter what the tenn
perature may be outside.

which swings in complete circle, and
a frame work for supporting the crane.
The crane part is made with an up
right mast 25 feet long and ten inches
in diameter at the base, with an iron

The top should be about 80 feet from

braces. The butts of these braces
should be bolted to the mast at about
the center, as shown in diagram. A
pulley should be hung at each end of
the boom pole.
The base of the supporting frame
work should be of two poles about
eight inches in diameter and IS feet

should be 10 or 16 feet apart. Near

A too big farm is money loser.
Sweet clover is valuable plant for
hard land, as it improves the soil.
Little attention has yet been paid to
the matter of best grasses for each
locality.
If it is desired to destroy cut worms,
the ground should not be plowed till
just before freezing.
In the growing of potatoes, thrifty,
stocky vine must be secured to get a
good supply of potatoes.
If clover will not 'catch" something
is the matter with the soil, and thai
something had better be discovered.

But the most sought animal is the bongo, af-

The great continent of Africa for centuries has
held civilized peoples in a hypnotic state. 1t
simply teens with mysteries and to get at the
bottom of these, thousands of lives have been
snuffed out by wild beasts, natural formations

tistics, gathered between the years of 1901 and
1876 have 1t that over one-third of the works OF
fiction of those generations were based on the
darkest continent.

and Britons have held sway in that order in the
most popuated parts of Africa. French, Dutch,
