Some experiments which have been carried on at Murrysville. Pa, along the line of a manufacture of paper of different grades from fibers of the cornstalk seem to show quite conclu- sively that paper can be made there from at about one-half the cost of that manufactured from wood pulp. Pro vided this situation is as stated large field would seem to be opened up for the utilizing of hundreds of thou sands of tons of stalks that annually go to waste i'll the corn belt states. while one of the large factors in the destruction of our timber supplies would seem to be removed. The atten- ton of a corn belt congressman has been called to these experiments, and he proposes to ask congress for an ap- propriation at the coming session which shall be used in the erection of T cornstalk paper plant that the mat ter may be given a thorough and off cial testing.

Fortunate indeed are those folk who in the strenuous struggle of life for material possessions keep as intact as may be the instinctive, God given in- terest in and love for the beauties of nature scattered in prOfusion about them-in thc coi! beneath their feet. the flower and leaf that perfume and brighten the meadow or woodland path, the birds that minister sweet harmony to the ear, the rose tinted and cloud f1ecked skies of morn and eve, the starlit heaven at night and the speeches. messages that all Of these speak to him of an open heart and inquiring mind.

In some sections of the west the wayfarer notes an interesting bird habit-a sort of joint food storage ar engagement practiced by the yellow hammers and bluejays. As related by a resident of one of these localities, the flicker pecks holes in the bark of the yellow pine large enough to accommo- date the acorns which fall from near by oaks, one ill place. Worms pass from the bark into the acorn, where they fall easy prey to the sharp bill and spiked tongue of the flicker, whil2 the jay, seeking the meat of the acorn. dislodges them, thus making room for those of the next years crop. During the fall months one may observe acorns by hundreds thus stored.

In selecting a material for the bank ing of the house it is well to use that which when packed down with a cov- ering of snow will be the nearest air and wind proof. On this account earth from the garden can hardly be eXcelled. Straw or stable manure is good. but the odor from the latter may bother. while the ammonia gases like ly to come from it may discolor the paint on the lower clapboards. A strip of tar paper extending from the ground to above the point where the banking will reach will obviate this latter diff iculty.

MORE SUCKERS CAUGHT.

Farmers living near St. Paul who have the past few months shipped eggs. poultry and other stuff to one commission firm under the inducement of high prices offered find themselves bunkoed, the mushroom commission man back of the swindle having made off with about $3.O00 of their money and leaving no tracks behind. He hired store for a month, bought a typewriter and desk on the installment plan and expended enough energy to write and direct batch of circular letters, resell the stuff shipped him and cash the drafts paid him. This type of sWindle is being perpetrated well nigh every month in the year by grafters in large cities who are able to work their game because gullible victims bite at their bait in the shape of an offer of unusually high produce prices.

A butter specialist gives the follow ing suggestions for keeping the taint of silage from the milk of cows which have it as a ration: The silage should be fed only after milking. the floors should be kept clean and no silage all lowed to accumulate in the alleys, no more silage should be fed than will be eaten up clean. corn should not be put into the silo too green, and none of it should be fed in moldy condition and, lastly, the stable should be kept we'll ventilated. In view of the well known susceptibility of milk to odors the above suggestions are timely.

A new idea has lately been hit upon by the proprietors of the Cafe Martin of New York city in the serving of their fancy fruits. An order was placed this season with a Hood river fruit grower for number of boxes of bright red Spitzenburg apples which should have the word Martin" ap- pear on the red cheek in golden yellow letters. The grower secured this re- suit by pasting the word cut in paper on the cheek of the apples just before the fruit began to turn red. At pick ing time these stencils or the obyerse of stencils were removed and the fruit carefully packed. It is fair to assume that the process was tedious one and that the grower got fancy price for the fruit thus treated.

BOIL WEEVILS WILL NOT Be
FROZEN, SAYS DR.. PERSON.
same Game out Alive After Staying In A Block
ct lee TWsnty.FOuF Hours, HriggIlRg Away
us II Nothing Had Happened.

That a boil weevil can stay in a
block Of ice t~Wenty-four hours, and
then come out alive and wiggling has
been established by DR.. Clarence Pier
son, Superintendent Of the State In
sane Asylum at jackson, La.
1t has been the general accepted
theory that the winter freezes would
kill the boil weevil, but the experience
which DR.. Plerson has had with the
pest does not tend to confirm this
theory.
Some months ago DR.. Pierson placed
a couple Of weevils in a bottle, filled
the bottle full of water and put it
down in the ice plant of the Insane
asylum, where the water was frozen,
with the weevils in the middle of the
ice in the bottle.
The bottle after standing some time
was taken out and broken, the ice
allowed to thaw in the sun, and the
weevils began to crawl out Of the wa
Ter after the melting Of the ice, as
much alive as ever and apparently
none the worse for the cold-storage
rest.

1t gets to be and old story to read
every year about the Importance Of
buying good seed; and yet, thousands
Of men think they are saving money
by getting poor seed. 1t is a great
mistake. Inferior seed almost al
ways has weed seed in it. It costs
to reciean good seed, and that is one
reason why it is 50 high price; but
we had better pay a little more than
to have our farms all grown up to
weeds. The best is none to good.
