WOULD GET WEALTH QUICKLY
Farmer Had Nothing. But Contempt
for the Moderation of the Street
Magician.

A patent medicine salesman upon
the streets of a small Maine village
was giving a free sleight-of-hand per-
Torrance in order to collect a crowd.
Presently he took a handkerchief from
his pocket, held it by one extreme cor
ner shook it, tossed it into the air,
caught it in his hand and took from
it a 25.cent piece.
There" he remarked, you e. l
take this quarter from the handker-
chief, although you saw for yourself
that the handkerchief was empty. I
can get another this way" he added,
and apparently plucked n from the
air.
"Gosh!" an old farmer in the little
audience muttered; that teller must
not keer much fer money. If / could
do a thing like that, you bet
wouldn't stick at quarters-Id take a

CONTINUOUS DOOR IN A sILo
Plan That Works Admirably and by
Which Acme Of Convenience
and Durability Secured,

Some years ago, when building our
second silo, I cast about for a design
that should unite the good points of
the circular silo with the conveniences
Of the continuous door of the square
silo. I finally hit upon a plan which
works admirably, and by which the
acme Of silo convenience and dura-
bility is secured, writes R.. Walker
McKeen. in Rural New Yorker. The
illustration explains the plan quite
well. The material used may be any
good lumber, fairly free from knots.
Mine is made Of hemlock, others near
by are made of pine. Slaves the de-
sired length are sawed two by four
inches, and for. inside silos they need
be neither planed nor beveled. Two
doorposts, six by six inches. are
framed together by being dropped on
to a short sill and by dropping a plate
on top. Additional strength is given on
putting bolts through just above the
sill and just below the plates, and in
silos more than twenty feet high an
additional rod may be put through
the middle of the posts. Another sim.
ilar post, called binding post, is pre-
pared to stand on opposite side Of silo.
The doorposts have f%ve-eighths inch
holes bored through them, leaving
Just two inches space between edge Of

Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu.
wenhoek discovered that the pupa of
the flea vas sometimes preyed on by
the larvae of a mite, it has been we'll
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re.
cent communication to the Complies
Rendus of the Biological society of
Paris by M. Bruyant, shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. Those described belong
to four different genera. They prob.
ably feed IN the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.

Preventing Disease,

It is more easy to prevent disease
in animals than it is to cure. Hog
cholera prevails more or less in all
sections of the country, but in the
majority of cases it is due to the con.
dition of the herds and mismanage.
ment in feeding than to any other
cause. Hogs must have green or
bulky fsod, also salt and charcoal.
These substances are not in q direct
way p~reveptives Of cholera, but they
keep the animals in a more or less
thrifty condition and render them lssn
liable to disease.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods aus trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: II
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish I never had to
eat anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it l do not have to starve
myself any more. but I can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and I am now strong and we'll.
my husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the Doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nnts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach.
er and other scholars comment on it.
I am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."

what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young.

A solid, level foundation is first
built, on which a circle the size of the
silo is drawn. The door-posts or
frame, is then stood up at the proper
place and securely stayed. Slaves
are then placed on around the circle,
staying each one temporarily by tack

The left side is treated the same
until all the hoops are in place. AS
a finishing touch, the inside of silo is
banked up with cement, making the
bottom somewhat kettle-shaped and
insuring an absolutely tight Joint be-
tween the cement and the ends of the
slaves. The door-posts have grooves,
two by two inches, rabbetted out of
the inside corners, into which the
ends of the boards used for doors fit.
These doors may be made of any
straight-edge boards of even thick
ness, laid double with paper between
them, the edges breaking joints. This
silo can be we'll built without skilled
labor, and for about m dollar per ton
capacity. This plan has been fol
lowed by all who have seen them in
use, and in various states, and always
gives satisfaction.

Mr.. Christler was q member of that
body, and the first time that the King
bill was up for action the gentleman
walked out of the house and into the
cloak room in order moi to go on
record upon that measure.
Those who were fighting the battle
for morality in this state did not ex.
pect that it would be necessary to
labor with a minister of the gospel in
order to persuade him to vote for de-.
cency.
Still the gentleman was talked to
and he gave evasive answers and ap.
peared to be desirous Of conveying
the impression that he was no ordi.
nary clergyman, but on the contrary
took q different view from most of
them.
If Mr.. Christler ever cast q vote
upon q poolroom bill it was upon the
one amending the original measure,
which had become q law, and which
extended the time OF racing in coun.
ties OF the first class from IA to 30
days.
The Miner is not prepared to say
that he voted for this measure, but it
does know that he most brazenly
lodged the vote upon the original
King bill.
Under these circumstances this
newspaper cannot take his testimony
when it has the word of the governor
to the contrary.
