Hiqh Price For Straiuhtness.

One of the most difficult problems In
practical mechanics Is to make O
straight edge. How difficult it is may
be judged from an incident that occur
red in the shop of a celebrated astro
nomical instrument maker.
A patron asked what would be the
price Of "a perfect straight edge OF
glass thirty-six inches long"
1T cannot be made perfect" said the
instrument maker, "but it could proba
bly, be made with limit of error
amounting to only fraction of q wave
length Of light"
"How much would that cost?"
about $4,000"
1t turned out that the customer want
ed the straight edge for scraper and
that an error Of one sixty-fourth Of an
inch would not bother him.-St. Louis

SlLAGE

AT farmers institute net long age
the question was asked: How many
housewives have silos? You can very
easily guess the nature Of the replies
to this question, for none Of those
present had much of an idea what a
Bilo really is. After a short explana-
ton it was agreed that nearly every
one present in reality had a 5ilo Of
some kind. Some Of these were used
for saving fruits, corn, and others for
preserving cabbage for future use
We don't really speak Of these as
silos, but the effect on the saving Of
these beds when placed in jars Is the
same as it is with corn when stored
in the silo; in other words, silage is
green corn preserved by storing in an
alright structure.
There probably are very few farmer
boys that 90 not remember some rainy
day or evening when all hands got
busy preparing the cabbage to fill the
kraut jar. Probably no thought was
given the subject because 1t was a
yearly task, and no one realized that
In effect the saving of the cabbage by
making II into kraut is the same as
making corn silage. 1t undoubtedly
served a good purpose in keeping the
family in healthy condition during
the winter months when other green
food was not available. The same is
true of silage, which affords succu-
lent and nourishing feed for the live.
stock.
There may be a question as to
whether all stock will eat the sour corn
silage, but give them chance and this
thought will be quickly dispelled, for
all stock eat silage very greedily, and
the returns IN the form Of milk and
meat will amply pay for all the trouble
and expense.

SAYS HUSBAND is FIREBUG
sunman Woman Calls Neiehbors and
Home Is Saved.

Sunman, Ind, Aug. 5.--Tbe quiet
little village of sunman was thrown
into near panic about o'clock in
the morning, when the residence of
F. c. Meister, a prominent resident
and leader OF the Sunman band, was
reported on fire. Mr.. Meister and his
wife are said to have had domestic
troubles and Mrs. Meister accused her
husband of setting the house on fire.
The house was on fire in four diff.
ferent rooms and it seemed for a
time that it would be totally destroy
ed, but by prompt response to Mrs.
Meister's calls for aid the neighbors
kept the fire under control and only
slight damage resulted to the house.
Mr.. Meister was later arrested by
City Marshal Fred Dryer and placed
in jail. At preliminary hearing Mr..
Meister was bound over to the grand
jury under $1,000 bond.

VEGETABLE OILS

L. o. Miller, Bernardston, Mass,
writes as follows: "Could you kindly
give me some information about vege-
table oils that are used as substitutes
for linseed oil? Where, in your opin-
ion, could soy beans and sunflowers be
most profitably grown?"
There are various oils to adulterate
linseed oil, but we are not aware Of any
oil that will take its place, or even
add anything to its value. It seems
that linseed oil is the only one that
has ever been found that possesses the
proper drying qualities to secure the
results desired. Whatever Is added to
it seems merely to be a detriment
Soy beans and sunflowers may be
profitably grown under some cond-
tons. There are great many regions
where they will grow satisfactorily,
and we believe that the middle west
or west would perhaps give the best
returns, all things considered. In
Colorado the Russian sunfiower makes
a wonderful growth. 1t is grown quite
extensively for feeding chickens.
The soy, bean is crop that will
stand a great deal of dry weather,
hence is profitably grown on rather
dry soils, although 1t responds to
moisture as we'll perhaps as any other
crop. It is grown extensively through
out the south; also some OF the hardy
varieties are found in the central Sec
ton.
II you are thinking OF coming west
with view to taking up such work
as growing these crops, you can get

port to the committee proposes to
spend $1,000, 100000 for good roads in
