recently. Mr.. Johnson has always been
honest and truthful in all his asser.
tons, and we see no valid reason for
doubling him in this instance.
When it is all summed up, is there
any real reason why the republicans
of the state and of the county should
support Burke as against Johnson?

SiIo Corn.
If for the silo the large growing
kinds of corn that will mature sufi-
ciently early are to be preferred. as a
much greater amount can be grown on
an acre, and the process of SLIDING will
put the crop in excellent condition for
feeding; but such are not usually the
best for curing to feed dry, as there is
a liability of being too much waste.
This crop should not be planted too
thickly, but space allowed for air and
sun, and fair amount of ears will add
materially to the value of the fodder
Plant in rows sufficiently far apart to
admit of cultivation which should be
the same as for that grown for the

often heat. A good many dollars would
be saved If the temperature down in
the grain could be known at any time.
This has been made possible by the
Zeleny thermometer, says Popular
Electricity. About 80 years ago it
was found that two metals, such as
bismuth and antimony, If heated while
In contact would generate an electro
motive force and this principle, that
of the thermo-electric pile, is used in
this device
In the illustration one wire of nick
elcopper is run in a conduit for pro-
lection down into a bin represented
at the left. At various points taps are
taken off with copper wire. An ordi-
nary galvonometer and scale is placed
on the wall near contact board on
which the wires terminate. When the
lever Is in the position shown, all the
circuits are open and the scale Isl
is moved so that on looking through
the telescope the scale is shown by
reflection from the little mirror in the
galvanometer. Then the lever is
moved over to point %, Tor instance,

can have many a good race with his
friends. Another use for it is as a
regular coaster. for gliding down hill,
though as has been seen it can be
pushed up hill and has therefore an
advantage over most coasters, espe-
cially those that depend on snow.
Finally, the device can be used as a
cart, there being an attachment that
serves as seat. Being of such light
construction. the small boy will find
it much easier to pull his comrades

Prevents Potatoes sproutinq.

Consul General Richard Guenther, at
Frankfort, reports that German pub
hcat1on, the Practical Adviser in Fruit
Raising and Gardening, states that a
new method for keeping potatoes and
preventing sprouting consists in pla-
cling them on layer of coke. Doctor
Schiller of Brunswick, who has pub
lished the method, is of the opinion
that the improved ventilation by means
OF coke is not alone responsible for the
result, but believes that it is due to
the oxidation of the coke, which, how
ever, is very slow one. Coke always
contains sulphur, and it is very possi-
Die that the minute quantities of oxides
OF carbon and sulphur, which result
from the oxidation, mixing with the
air and penetrating among the pota-
toes, are sufficient greatly to retard
sproudng. Potatoes so treated are
said to keep in good condition until
the following July.
