Praise your wife when she gets you an
extra good dinner, and you will get many
more of them.
Eight acres of good, heavy corn ought to
fill hundred-ton silo. This ought to be
grown and put into the silo a. a cost OF
not more than 800, or 2 per ton, for the
silage.
One OF the most important departments
OF the farm is too often forgotten in the
stress OF business, and that is the ood- lot.
If you have one, see to it that the young
trees are protected from the vandal axe
man and the depredations OF stock. A
well conserved wood-lot grows steadily
into money while you sleep.
When you are hopping your face in the
harvest sun, consider the good wife in the
super-heated kitchen bending over a hot
stove in the preparation of food, and ask
yourself if you have provided her with
satisfactory help. Full barns will bring
! one little satisfaction If the wife is broken
down az the end OF the harvest.
neighbor of ours tells how he pre-
an eighteen-foot NOV. Before placing
any hay in the NOV, he took some inch
boards, six inches wide, making boxes
with three sides. He laid these boxes in
strings across the NOW floor, upside down,
similar TO an old-fashioned wooden drain.
Then he filled the NOW full of hay to the
roof, and when he removed it from the
NOV this spring not a straw of it was
moldy. Other seasons he had much hay
damaged in this NOV from lack of venti-
lation. He tells me that an uncle Of his
also pursued this course in his large barn
mows which were tightly foored with
concrete, and was able to use his hay out
to the last straw. just little ventilation
seems to go great way in saving hay in
large barn mows.

Permit me through your column to express
the great pleasure took in a Sabbath day
visit, July 26, with one of the sohoolmates of
my girlhood days-Maria CHM, of East Or
land, better known to the Mutuals as Aunt
Maria"
In company with my son l left Ellsworth at
9 O'Clock a. m, arriving at the CHM home
stead about IL, and was met at the door by my
old friend, whose countenance wore the same
genial smile as when last seen more than
twenty-five years ago.
After partaking of bonntiful dinner, the
afternoon was spent in looking over the sur
roundings of the beautiful home and telling
of "reminiscences of those early days. In the
shades of evening l wendell my way home
ward, feeling we'll paid for the days under
taking. NJ Err
We all appreciate your report of v ur

harder for Aunt Madge.
What beautiful rains we had. All nature

fering so much, and in many places water is
so scarce.

their ears and gave vent to their
wild energy and instinct hellishuess.
They plunged head long up the road,
