HOMEMADE GRAIN ELEVATOR

Work-Easily Erected.

have seen number Of schemes
used for getting grain into the gran
airy without much back work, but one
of the best l know of Is an outside
elevator, that can be made by most
any farmer handy with tools, writes
John Y Beatty in American Agricul
turist The first drawing shows the
appearance of this elevator from the
outside of the building. A dump hole
is made in the roof through which
grain can be dropped into hopper,
from which it can be distributed to
the different bins, or, If there is only
one bin in the building, the opening
is directly into that bin.
A track Of 2x6s is made extending
from pit at the side of the building
to the hole in the roof. On this is
mounted large box that will hold
10 or Is bushels Of grain. This box
drops into pit at the end of the track
in such way that grain can be easily
dumped from wagon into 1t without
any shoveling. The wagon is simply

the square. These will be constructed
of reinforced concrete, terra Gotta ana
brick and will have peak roof ana
asbestos shingles. They will have
party walls The first floor will be
divided into a parlor, hall, dining room
and kitchen, the latter to be equipped
with a gas range, hot water boiler and
all the other modern accessories or
the kitchen. There will be front and
back porches. On the second floor
will be three bedrooms of good size,
a bathroom and closets. The top floor
will contain a bedroom II by 1862 feet.
There will also be loggia. Accord
ing to the plans these buildings will
cost $4,000 each, which apparently
would make the rental very reason
able. The plans do not state whether
this includes all the plumbing and the
heating apparatus.
The plans show that the experiment
of attempting to construct village
that will be ideal from the artistic,
social and economic point of view is
going to be an interesting one. APP
parently it is not going to cater to
great extent to the unskilled labor
class for whom the philanthropist has
been thinking heretofore in his efforts
to improve housing conditions.

STRIKE or CHORUS QUELLED
Managers Threat That Singers Would
Have to Walk and Swim Home

Speaking of the opera recalls the
chorus of the Metropolitan when it
was playing three years ago at the
Nixon in Pittsburg. It was in April
and the last day of the season. After
Pittsburg the company was going
east to disband for the summer. The
cry year, or was then, under contract
to sing a stipulated number of weeks,
all road expenses and passage from
Europe and return included. Ernest
Goerlitz was managing the road tour
then for Conried and was just settling
with the local manager for the per-
Torrance, which was I'll Trovatore,"
a matinee, and witnessed by the larg-
est crowd ever packed into a Pitts
burg theater to hear grand opera. An
attendant came hurrying to the box
office from behind the scenes and re-
refuse to sing. Goerlitz bolted for the
stage. He was back in ten minutes
smiling.
"That fool chorus was going to
strike" he explained. Il don't know
what about AS soon as they saw
me come on the stage they began
shouting at me in six languages.
never waited to hear what the COM
plant was, but jumped on chair and,
shaking my fists in their faces,
shouted:
"'Now, look, all of you. You either
sing or you don't sing. If you sing,
we'll and good, but if you don't sing
you walk to New York and swim to
Europe"
They could be heard singing Justify

American-GroWn Hogs.

The people of the United States
have a fondness for bacon and ham
and salt pork and sausages and
spare ribs and the other delicacies the
hog gives. One-third Of all the swine
in the world are in our country, and
the 47,7s2,000 head which are here
now are worth an average OF 1914
each, or total Of $43s,373.00.
There are 6,365,000 fewed hogs than
in 1909, but they are worth $3.50 more
ner head-the hogs being valued at
ss1 800 900 more than in 1909, despite
the great decrease In number.

SAVE STORM-FELLED TREES
Borer Begins Work Promptly on
Fallen Pines In Southern States,
Reducing Value.

Experts of the Department Of Agri-
culture have been studying the work
of insects in storm-felled pine in the
South, especially the work of the Dor
er known to lumbermen as the saw
yer" The results should be Of imme
diate interest to owners Of timber
felied or damaged by recent storms in
the southern states.
1t has been found that the sawyer
begins work in the bark Of felled trees
very promptly, and that it reduces the
value of the timber about one-third
within two months, reduction which
represents many millions of dollars
annually.
This loss may be largely prevented
by prompt action on the part of the
timber owners. AS soon as possible
after a destructive storm an estimate
should be made of the amount Of fell
ed timber that can be converted into
lumber before the sawyers begin to
enter the wood. Trees that can not
be worked up with little delay can be
protected in either of two ways: (1)
The bark may be removed from the
trunks, or (2) the logs may be cut
without removing the bark and placed
in streams or ponds. The sawyers
will do practically no damage to tim
Der from which the bark is removed
within a month after their attack be-
gins. In case of logs placed in water.
they will continue their work only in
the parts which are not completely
submerged.
To timber fel1ed in winter or early
spring the methods recommended
should be applied by May 1 for best
results. Timber felled during the
summer should be worked up, or have
the bark removed, or be placed in wa
ter within one month after the saw
yers begin to work In the bark.

The demand for fresh butter is in

the price which the creameries can
pay for butter fat in the winter is only
regulated by the price the consuming
public will pay for their butter. But,
when the consumer has to pay over IS
cents a pound he quits buying and
