II American farmers would follow

would quickly discover that they had

.a Advantages Of Concrete.
A concrete corn crib, like any other
concrete structure, rapidly pays for
it's first cost This is especially true
when the farmer does the work
during the winter. Feeding floors,
fence posts, sidewalks and other con-
veniences of concrete, can also easily
be built during the winter at small
cost. Plans can be obtained free from
practically al Agricultural colleges or
any Of the large cement companies,
showing how such structures should
be constructed
Il The shape of concrete corn crib
is not material, but the farmers should
plan their crib for the greatest econ
omy Of space and convenience in fill
ing, depending upon the method used
by each individual farmer. A con-
crete floor five inches thick for a corn
crib can be built at an approximate
cost Of ten cents per square foot. This

Power Of the Editor.

According to French law, the editor
Of a newspaper Yields more power
than the proprietor A wealthy Rus,
sian admirer of Louis Blanc founded
a paper, 'L'Homme Libre," of which
Blanc was appointed editor. The Rus
sian rather fancied himself as a
writer, and sent some articles to the
paper, which Blanc returned with
thanks. This SO Infatuated the owner
that he endeavored to make the
courts compel Blanc to insert the arti-
cles. The judge held that an editor
has q right to decline articles, even
when written by his proprietor, and
70 dismissed the plaintiffs suit with
costs. But it was probably within
the proprietor's right to retaliate BY
diminishing the editor.

MiIkino in Smoke.

The COWS know as we'll as the mixers

twenty Million Dollar Annual Grain
Loss Caused BY Rod Gree at
Loss Partially Prevented BY Con-
al1 crete Corn Cribs. ..fs5I


National Crop Improvement servics.l Hi
a#l NJ The department. Of agriculture, at
Washington, has frequently called at.
.st ,esr1 70 the tremendous annual loss
70 the American farmers caused by
rats. This amounts to over 100000
900 each year. The corn belt farm
ser has learned to his sorrow that rats
love grain. Anything that reduces
the number OF rats is a great econom-
lc gain to the community. X 4# h.
According to Uncle Sans experts,
rats kill poultry in broad daylight,
and have been known to kill lambs
and pigs, when they were only a few
days old. The average house cat is
no protection, and is almost as de-
structive to poultry and to wild birds,
which are the farmers friends, as are
the rats. One family of rats in q few
nights will eat, waste and pollute sew
eral bushels Of grain when it is stored
In the ordinary wooden bin or crib.
They eat through the floor and sides
of the bin, which not only allows a
waste Of the grain by leakage, but per
mits moisture to enter which adds to
the loss. #it. " . M..
For number of years farmers have
tried out various devices. Poison and
traps have been used with some little
success. Though poisons have been
somewhat successful, they are much
more successful In killing birds, poul-
try and domestic animals, the dog be-
Ing especially likely to be poisoned.
Japs Show the Way. Il.
The Japanese found shortly after
their late unpleasantness with Russia
that they were threatened with the
plague" and other highly contagious
diseases which are carried by rats.
They started in and killed them by
the millions and, after reducing the
number, figured out scientific methods
to prevent the rats from obtaining
food. They started to build concrete
floors for all the buildings which con-
tanned rice and other food products un-
til, at the present time, according to
the Tokyo papers, there is practically
no warehouse, grain elevator or any
other structure intended for the stor-
age of food products, which has not
the floor and at least the first three
or four feet above the ground built
of concrete. a s5. 5 u
Apparently, however, the Japanese
have not yet awakened to one Of our
most useful structures, the concrete
.silo. In a recent edition, however, Of
the American Guernsey Breeders Jour
nal it was stated that Japanese
graduate from one Of our agricul-
tural colleges is taking a number OF
pure bred dairy cows, and is going to
build a number of reinforced concrete
silos in the northern part of Japan,
and run a model dairy farm according
to American methods.

be built Of concrete blocks, provided
that the floor and at least two feet of
the walls are built Of solid concrete.
The cost would vary somewhat in diff
ferent localities, depending upon the
nearness of sand and gravel. I'm,
like many other materials, especially
lumber which now must be hauled
long distances from Canada, the north
west or the far south, and excessive
freight charges paid, in a concrete
structure, Portland cement is the only
material which need be transported
any distance. Almost every farmer
can obtain sand and gravel near his
own property.

SCRIPT OF MAD "EMPER0R"
Relic Presented to San Francisco Mu.
seum a Reminder Of the Early
Days Of That City

The old days Of San Francisco-that
period about twenty years ago when
the ~Guttersnipe," "Topsy-Turvey,"
"ThG Great Unknown" and other ia
nous street characters were daily
sights in the city-are recalled vividly
by donation made last week to the
Golden Gate Park Memorial museum.
Chris w. Smith gave the museum q
piece Of script issued by the far-famed
Emperor" Norton, the millionaire pio-
neer, whose reason went with the loss
Of his money by unwise speculation.
It was In the late seventies that
Emperor" Norton held forth in ali his
glory. He had come to California in
1849, had endured all the hardships OF
that early date, and retired to San
Francisco when his wealth had
reached the million mark He was
not violently insane, simply possessed
Of the hallucination that this was one
vast empire, over which he ruled, and
that those whom he daily passed on
the streets were his humble subjects.
The piece OF script presented to the
Park museum is perhaps the only relic
of one habit OF Emperor" Norton.
Striding into store or into q place Of
liquid refreshment, the emperor"
would, in dignified manner, order
whatsoever he wished. In payment he
would give piece Of script such as
that received by the museum, or may
hap personal check. More than once,
say the old-timers, a $4,000 check was
given In payment for small glass Of
mineral Water.
Emperor" Norton's script is printed
on blank piece Of paper slightly
larger than a bank note, and worded
as follows:
"The Imperial Government Of EN-
peror Norton promises to pay holder
hereof the sum of ton dollars in the
year 1880, with interest at FIVE per
cent. per annum from date, the prin-
cipal and interest to be converted at
the option of the holder at maturity
into twenty-year five per cent. bonds,
or payable I'm gold coin. Given under
our royal hand and seal this goth day
Of March. 1879.
