The grain bins herewith Illustrated are not only very handy, but are also easy to build. As shown in the il- lustration, they are seven feet high at the rear. five feet in front, and six to eight feet square. The material used is six-inch matched stuff, except the T-shaped division post. They should be of two-inch lumber, and may be worked out as shown, or built up of three pieces. The greatest advantage of these bins is that the entire fronts may be removed and replaced at will, or one may be used at the top of each. and they act as braces to prevent the cross partitions from being pushed out of line. The bins should. if possible, be set on a cement floor, and be at least ten inches away from the wall, to avoid hiding places for rats and mice. The bins are in

The machine made light of its load. and turned the three tracks cleanly and evenly, travelling all the time over the soft ground at the rate of about three miles an hour. Naturally, l paid particular attention to the ma chimes behavior at the headlands. for 1t is there that motor-tractors are said to be at disadvantage owing to the inability to turn in as small a circle as a team of horses. However, there appeared to be no waste of space, the headlands being left practi- cally the usual width. The ploughing was carried on up one side of a strip and down the other a method which did not test the steering block to such an extent as would have been the case had the plough been re- quired to return along the land next to the furroW last cut. But even if this were required it would be perfect ly easy of execution, for the tractor can back the plough readily into any desirable position, and the time occu- pied in maneuvering is infnitesimal.

The steer ing lock is distinctly good, the tractor turning in a circle of which the radius is about seven and one-half feet. The 20 horse power motor is of the two cylinder horizontal type, the fuel be- ing either petrol or paratfin as de sired The power from the engine is conveyed to the single driving chain by means of a friction clutch, but there is also a pulley which can be thrown into gear and used for driving threshing machines, chaff-cutters, etc, when the tractor Is stationary.

restricted when the bill was before originally passed by the senate, the provision was a satisfactory compro mise to the tariff commission adher- ,nts. AS readjusted by the conference lnder the opposition of the house .onferrees 1t was believed to have been brought to a point which was satisfactory to those opposed to tar if commission. President Tafts con- struction of the authorization does not agree with that of the men in the house and senate opposed to the tariff commission idea.
 In Prof. Emery the president has found a scientific student of the tariff, in Assistant Secretary Reynolds an of ficial of the government who has spent several years in the intimate direction and Interpretation of the tariff laws and in MT. Sanders man of practical experience in the work ing of the tariff in the field of the business man and the agriculturist
 Assistant Secretary Reynolds un- doubtedly brings to the work of the commission the most practical knowl- edge. Entering the treasury depart ment in March, 1905. he has been In timately associated with the enforce ment of the customs laws by that de- partment. He was appointed by President Roosevelt as a member of a special commission which visited France in 1908, and met similar commission from that country in the adjustment of tariff rates in contro- versy under the commercial agree ment between the two countries.
 Again appointed in similar capac- ity. he aided in the formation of the German agreement
 MT. Reynolds is 39 years old, a bachelor, entered politics from news paper work, which he began in Bos. ton is a native of Massachusetts and a Republican.
 Prof. Emery was appointed to the chair of political economy at Yale in August. 1900. He is writer on eco monies and has published "Specula- tion on Stock and Produce Ex- changes of the United States" Aft CT being graduated at Bowdoin col lege he studied ct Harvard, and for three years was pSofessor of econom. ics at Bowdoin, from which institu- ton he went to Harvard. He has nevsr been active in politics.
 Alvin H. Sanders has long been an active advocate of the tariff commis- sion idea, and in his appointment the nresident recognizes the strength Of that movement. MT. Sanders has made frequent trips to Europe for the investigation of the discrimination practiced against American manu factures. On one of the more recent visits he held a special commission from President Roosevelt to report unon these conditions. He was very active in bringing about the reciproc' itv convention held in Chicago a few wears ago to make organized effort for a better foreign field for American products.

HARVESTING BY MOTOR
 ON AN ENGLISH FARM
Capabilities of the Latest Type oa ASrie uIturaI Tractor with
 

hlv sprupg The steering Is light and positiye by means of a wheel and two rods running from the steering col umn to either side of the front wheel. The entire tractor weighs B cwt- The weight question is, of course. most important and the comparative light- ness of the tractor Is distinctly In It's favor, foS it overcomes one of the farmers main objections to mechani- cal haulage on the farm. In dry weather the tractors driving wheels are not provided with any special gripping devices, the steel tires being equipped only with small diagonal ribs but in wet seasons, or on greasy ground, "spuds" are clamped to the tires and afford additional holding power. At last weeks demonstration both the grip of the driving wheels and also the cooling system were tested severely, for the surface was slippery and the ground so soft that the tractor was compelled to do all it's work on the low speed. In spite of this, however the engine did not become unduly hot, nor did the driv- ing wheels appear to slip to an appre- ciable extent.
 The demonstration took place upon a large farm on the outskirts of Big gleswade, the farmer himself being loud in praise of mechanical haulage. I was first taken to a field in which some thirty acres were ready for the plouoh and here the tractor was har- messed up to a three-furrow plough.

The problem of the motor-tractor' s use in agriculture has always been one of considerable interest to me; and 1t was with great pleasure that last week 1 accepted an invitation to attend at Biggleswade in Bedford shire a demonstration of the capabil- ities of the latest type of agricultural motor-tractor, writes H. C. Lafone in Country Life. The machine to be pub lcly tested was the newest model tractor turned out by the 1vel Agri- cultural Motors, Limited a firm which, first in the field in 1902, has gained many diplomas and awards for the work accomplished by its machines in open competition with horse-draWn implements. 1 was promised dem onstration of ploughing and harvest ing by means of tractor, and, al though the weather was of such a na- ture that no sensible farmer would have attempted with horses either ploughing or cutting until an improve Inent had occurred, the program was carried through with the greatest sue. cess, the only hitch being occasioned by refractory binder, which mani fested an inclination to skid on the headland of an abominably greasy field.
 Before describing the days doings I think it will be well to give some particulars of the tractor itself, for 1t was this which was on its trial the actual agricultural implements -

NEW RAT TRAP A SUCCESS
Rodent Caught by FIypaper Frightens Tipplers in d Philadelphia
 Barroom.

Several men who happen around the thirst -allaying establishment of Ed ward Germany, which holds forth it's allurements at Marion street and Kaighn avenue, Camden, decided yes terday that it was time to join the tee totalers' ranks. Germany has had some rats in his place, that is, of the animal kind There was a hole in the floor by which they made their way to the barrOom, much to the annoy ance of gentlemen who might be get ting on the outside of highball or a large, foamy glass of amber. Car many had an inspiration the other day. Flypaper catches flies. why not rats? The idea was too good to lay on ice so he put it to work.
 Close to a hole through which the rats came the saloon-keeper laid q sheet of the sticky fiypaper and await. ed results. They came fast and in a bunch. A man who was enjoying the best effects of rickey saw something moving across the floor. He dropped the glass, jumped to the bar and cried Holy MOses!"
 The bartender thought the man had ftG and laughed, but when he caught sight of the sheet of paper gyratine about the floor in the most uncanny | way he threw the bung-starter at il l and fled. One or two others gave the room a wide berth, and attracted by
 the commotion, Carmany ran in. He laughed and said: "The paper worked
 all right" The rat, which had become
 so tangled in the sticky mess that it
 could not see it's way to its hole, wa, killed. Philadelphia Record

NEW TARIFF BOARD
Sketches of Members Appointed
 to Important Body.
EVilI Investigate Application of Max num and Minimum Rates of New Law to Foreign
 Countries.

Washington.-The new foreign tar If board recently appointed by the president Is composed of the following three members: Prof. Henry c. Elm cry, professor of economies at Yale university; MT. James B. Reynolds, assistant secretary of the treasury, and MT. Alvin H. Sanders of Chicago, editor and owner of the Breeders Ga Zette
 The appointments were made under a paragraph of the new tariff act which authorizes the president to ex- pend $75,000 in an investigation Of the application of the maximum and minimum rates of the new tariff law to foreign countries.
 It is the purpose of the president to use the board for a much broader in vestigation. In affiXing his signature to the bill he made public statement in which he took the ground that the authorization was such as to enable him to employ the commission upon much wider field than that offered by the application of the maximum ana ulauiuum rates IL iS eApeSIoo that he will make the work of the commission almost as comprehensive as would have been possible had the movement for tariff commission not failed because of the opposition of congress to the proposal that any oth- CT governmental body have part in the making of the tariff laws.
 The paragraph as finally incorpor- ated in the law was an amendment of the senate, which was still further

A method of getting rid of the Eng fish sparrow pests is described by poultry breeder, whose yards were visited by the sparrows in such num- bers as to seriously interfere with his profits. He fastened a small box about four inches deep. on a post five feet high, placed just outside of his poultry yard. This box he kept supplied with poisoned chick feed. The sparrows entered cordially into the new feeding program and several hundred of them left bodily testlmo- nials to the palatability of tue food.

with her. Evidently she makes some pretense to responsibility
 Aunt Eva" said Daniels. the young lady in question is of irreproach- able character She is working girl. but none the less to be respect ed on that account"
 From that day Lawrence Daniels had no peace of mind at Lake Lin wood. He was at Adams Ferry prin- eipa3ly because his aunt had told him 10 come, and, as she was wealthy and savorably inclined toward him, her re- nuest was not to be disregarded. He thought rather sorrowfully of the evenings when he had called on Pearl Amboyne and of the talks they had upon literature, art and other things, They had read the same books and spent many pleasant afternoons at the picture galleries. That was in the days when he was struggling for bare existence.
 Then somebody discovered that he could write, and he found himself Spon a paper where his salary ran into large figures, and he was hailed by that proudest of journalistic titles "a good man." Then he fell into 1he good graces of Aunt Eva. That meant receptions and afternoon teas and an introduction into one of the smart sets" of New York. Pearl Amboyne saw him once or twice after his rise in fortune. It was very easy for him to tell her that he could find KTttle time to call upon her, for men uho obey the commands of a city ed 5tor have little time they may call their own. She saw him for the first time in months at the landing al Adams Ferry.
 Pearl Amboyne and her mother wese permitted to go their own way at the ferry. They did not seem tC be aware that they had been socially ostracised. They cared little about The Traver's set or the other select gnests of the hotel. Pearl spent hel days rowing her mother about among tine islands of the lake There is al anliable tradition that in this body rS water there are 365 islands, one for every day in the year In leay Sear. so the story goes, an additiona island appears, which is lost to view Gn the last day of December. Ther, acre islands enough for everybody and the mother and daughter managed ro steer clear of the Adams Ferr, aristocracy, Lawrence Daniels say the two occasionally, and greetet them in a somewhat embarrasse, fashion.
