Englishmen of letters, was born in
London, Feb. 9, 1863. His real name is
Anthony Hope Hawkins Anthony

graduated from Oxford in 1885 and then
began the study of law Two years
later he was called to the bar and fol-
lowed his profession for six or seven
years. In the meantime he contributed
numerous short stories to the maya

FARMERS SHOULD USE GREAT CARE
IN THE STORAGE OF ALL GRAINS
Crops Should Be Kept Free From Dampness and Vermn to
Prevent Damage-KiI WeeviI by FumgatiOn---Car-
bon BsuIphide Is Best Liquid for This Purpose

Every farmer should exercise the ut
most care il the storage OF his grain
whether 1t Is to be used for seed or
feed. The principal things to be con-
sidered in the storing OF grains are
freedom from dampness, vermin and
insects. The ease of handling the grain
is also very important factor in stor-
ing grain. Wheat and corn, when in a
Try condition, are not injured by cold,
but grain-loving insects can not thrive
at low temperatures. The more ex.
posed the granary the better the pro-
lection against insects, and the larger
the bulk OF grain and the less expos
ure the less viii be tho injury from
insects.
1t is advisable to store grain in bins
so constructed as to have smooth
walls, and these preferably painted,
SO as to offer the least opportunity as
a lodgment for insects.
From time almost immemorial the
farmer has been troubled with vermin
such as rats and mice. The granary
should be built so that it offers no
chance for them to hide. Rats and
mice enjoy secluded places. The gran
ary should not have open air spaces
simply because this is just the sort
of place where vermin hides.
Wheat should never be stored in
bags where it can be avoided. 1t is

HORSE lSA USEFUL ANIMAL

Different kinds OF work require diff
no particular value except for what he
can do. To fulfill his mission he must
travel If he can draw a buggy con-
tanning one or two persons at the rate
of ten miles an hour he is valuable as
a roadster. Another horse, that can
draw his share of load weighing UP
wards of ton, even though he moves
slowly, performs an equal amount of
actual work and is just as useful to his
owner as is the roadster. Since all
horses are valuable because they
travel, although at various rates and
under widely varying conditions, 1t
will be interesting to make study OF
those parts of the horses body direct
ly connected with his locomotion.
1t is not difficult to understand that
with the horse as with ourselves, all
motion is the result of the action OF
the muscles. About forty per cent OF
the weight of an ordinary horse is
muscle. All muscles concerned with
locomotion are attached to bones, and
when they contract they cause the
bones to which they are fastened to
move. The lower part of the horses
leg is nearly ill bone, but the muscles
in the body and upper part of the
limbs are attached to various parts oi
the bony construction by tendons and
can thus produce motion of the parts
located some distance away. The
muscles we are discussing, when con
tracted, are about three-quarters as
long as when at rest. The amount OF
motion produced by the action of the
muscles of one of the horses hind
legs, for example. will depend upon the
length of the muscles and the length
and the relation of the bones to which
they are attached. The common idea
, among students of this subject is TX
pressed in these words: Long mus
cles for speed, short muscles for pow

To Test Fish Law.


The controversy between the tram
mel net fishermen of Lake Erie and
the state fish and game commission
over the use of the nets in the lake
has reached the courts in the form OF
mandamus proceedings.
Joseph Allen, tramel net fisher.
man of Sandusky, entered mandamus
proceedings in the circuit court OF
Franklin county to compel the com.
mission to issue him license to use
the nets. He declares that the law,
which went into effect in June. for.
bidding the use of trammel nets, is
unjust and unwarranted. He also says
the nets in question are of larger
mesh than others, and therefore less
damaging to public interests.
Sandusky attorneys, who represent
the trammel net fishermen, called on
the commission several days ago and
made formal application for licenses
for their clients, but were refused

ed out and gumigated before putting
new grain into them. If the granaries
are infested with the grain weevil or
the Angoumois grain moth, the only
way to get rid of them is by fumiga-
ton.
Carbon bisulphide, which can be
bought at any drug store, is the best
agent for fumigation. 1t is a heavy,
oily liquid, and the fumes are deadly
poison If 5reathed in excess. 1t va
porizes readily when exposed to the
air, and, being heavier than air, it set
ties to the bottom of the bin. Great
caution should be taken when handling
it to keep fire away, as it is highly in
flammable. About l pound of carbon
bisulphide is sufficient for 100 bushels
of grain. The granary should be air.
tight and the liquid poured in shallow
pans and placed on the surface OF the
grain. The fumes being heavy will
penetrate downwards through the
grain and destroy all insects present.

ALL WAGONS SHOULD HAVE WIDE TIRES

Broad tire cut rut one and one-half to

Narrow tire required 569.1 pounds to

1885 pounds tn draw the load. Differ
euce in favor of broad tire 245.5
pounds, or "a per cent.
1t will be seen that in only one test
out of four did the narrow tire have
the advantage in draft, and that was
where the surface of the road was soft
but the subsurface was fairly hard
The narrow tire cut through to this
hard surface while the broad tire re,
manned ON top. In all of the tests on
meadows and plowed land, the differ.
ence was always in favor of the broad
tire because on them the load was
much more easily drawn and did much
less damage to the field. One trial,
four horses pulled the ton load on. mar
row tires with an average draft of SIG
pounds. Two horses pulled the same
load over the same road with an aver
age draft of 1898 pounds, showing that
the same load was less difficult for
two horses on broad tires than for four
horses on narrow tires. When it is
considered that most of the hauling
done by farmers is on their farms and
not on the roads, this saving in draft
is quite an item in the course of a
year. When the protection to the field
and roadbed is considered, it seems
strange that there are so many mar.
row-tired wagons in use.
