a Startling Hat.

A lady's hat which would no doubt
create as great a sensation today as 1t
did at the time of its first appearance
In 1852 was that worn by Blanche de
Bourbon, queen Of CASTLE, wife Of Pc
ter the Cruel. 1t cost f35 and was
made In Paris. The hat itself was
composed of de chypre and relieved
with great pearls, garnets and enamel
work. Children, carved In the whitest
Of ivory, were depicted picking acorns
Of pearls from the oak and scattering
them TO the swine below. Birds were
singing In the trees, and at the foot
were bees stealing honey from the
flowers springing up from the vsrdure.

That the greatest case of dog eat dog
we ever heard of is cited by the Albert
Lea Tribune wherein a young man, who
loved to smoke good cigars, and had them
insured for their value in an insurance
company. The young man bought 1000
extra fine cigars and had them insured for
their face value, smoked them up and de.
manded their insurance. claiming that
they had been destroyed by fire. The
case was taken TO court and the Judge de.

arrested for setting fire to his own property
and the same judge ordered that he pay
fine and 60 to Jail for three months.

TWO TYPES or SILo
(By c. A. Hutton, Division Of Extern
sion. University of Tennessee

(By C. A. Hutton, Division Of ExteHr
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The two types of silos best adapted
foB use in Tennessee are the cheap,
temporary silo built of wood, and tbs
permanent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo For farmer who wishes cheap
silo, there is nothing better than the
Tennessee wood-hoop type. This is
built Of 1"x4" fine flooring, which
should be OF good quality heart
pine, free from knots and sap, match
ed, planned, and tongued and grooved,
The hoops are made Of k"x4" green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around form and
made four-ply thick. The 1"x4" slaves
are set upright inside Of these hoops.
This makes the cheapest and best
type of wood silo, and one Of the
easiest to build. The average cost OF
such silo is $1.00 per ton capacity,
where all the material Is purchased
and all the labor hired
For a permanent silo there is moth
ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. They can be
built for an average cost of $3.50 to
$500 per ton capacity, and II properly
constructed will last indefinitely. They
should be built Of good material, with
a solid wall, six inches thick, properly
reinforced, and made smooth and slick
on the inside.
~ nronarlv cnnafructnd a concrakA
silo will preserve silage absolutely,
as we'll as any other kind OF silo, and
should not cost any more than the
patented wood type. There Is posi-
lively no excuse for Tennessee farm
er paying out his hard-earned money
for a patented stave silo when he can
build one of concrete for positively the
same cost, and which will last at least
life time. 4

SOY BEANS AND CORN.
(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Extern

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Extern
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
There is a growing practice in Ten
nessee of planting soy beans with corn
in the same row. 1t has q number or
points to recommend 1t. 1t increases
the legumes on the farm without APP
parently decreasing the corn yield
very much, except In dry seasons. II
furnishes the best of green forage for
hogs in cases where the corn Is hog.
ged off, or if the corn Is gathered By
hand, the beans may then be harvest
ed by hogs after they have shattered
to the ground and softened. They are
sometimes gathered by hand for seed
purposes.
Beans are better for this purpose on
rich land than peas, because they do
not cause the corn to lodge. They
may be planted earlier, at the same
time the corn is planted, which would
not always be possible with peas. On
the other hand, they may be planted
later and yet produce higher. yield
of seed than peas.
To get mixture of corn and beans
it is best to plant the corn first and
then follow Immediately with the
beans in the same row, being careful
not to plant the beans too deep. II
has not been found satisfactory to mix
the corn and beans in the same box.
because they are not properly dis
tributed and because beans should not
be planted as deeply as corn. There
are number Of planters on the mar
ket which are designed especially for
this purpose and which will do salts

SPRAY THE TREES
TO PREVENT LOSS

(By C. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
Begin to spray the fruit trees with.
in ten days after the fall of the
bloom. In the winter and before
the buds burst in spring is the
time to spray for scale insects: such
as the oyster she'll and the San Jose
scale. April is the time to make the
first spraying for cooling moth and
curculio, for fruit scab, blotch. and
rot Cooling moth is the worm that
gets into apples; curculio is the peach
and plum worm. These insects can
best be controlled by spraying thor
oughly with arsenate of lead, using
two to three pounds to the barrel, and
applying with strong force, so that
the spray will be forced into the
blossom end OF the little apple, and
among the hairs of the peach.
The rots, scabs, and other fungus
diseases Of orchard fruit can be kept
in check by spraying with self-bolled
lime-sulphur solution. For small
orchards it is cheapest and most con-
venient to buy the prepared lime.sul-
phur solution, which Is sold by drug
and hardware stores. 1t should be d.
luted, one and one-half gallons to SO
gallons of water for apples and plums;
one gallon to so gallons for peaches.
The arsenate OF lead can be added to
the solution, thus making combined
remedy for insects and diseases. Spray
thoroughly, covering the entire tree
until it drips slightly. There is bound
to be some waste, but httle practices
makes one skillful in handling a spray
ing outfit. Spray at intervals OF
month, making the last application
about a month before the fruit Is
ready to pick. Use arsenate Of lead
only in the first spray after the bloom
falls.
In spraying with lime-sulphur solu-
ton, care should be taken to protect
hands, face, and neck from the spray
by the use of vasoline. Goggles should
be worn to protect the eyes. Gloves
can be water proofed by dipping them
in boiled linseed oil, or rubber gloves
can be worn. The lime-sulphur solu-
ton is very caustic, and the sores
caused by it are painful and difficult
to heal.
