sists Of any extensive metal parts,
these should also be grounded
through the lightning rod conductor.
The building must, of course, con-
form to any special demands made
upon it by the elevating machinery
which is selected. In general, the
cupola must be constructed so that
corn and grain may be delivered by
chute to the cribs and bins from the
elevator head. The floor must, for
some elevators, be constructed with
a pit under the elevator shaft. There
is sufficient headroom in the driveway
so that the front Of the wagon may
be lacked up in unloading. Minor
changes in such a building are easily
made, but the principal point to be
considered is the strength of the struc-
ture. This building has been very
carefully designed for strength with
economy of materials considered. The
farmer will do well to be sure that
any building which he intends to erect
for a similar purpose be carefully
checked yer by m who has ex-
perience in the construction of grain
loads and the strength of building ma.
terials.

FALL FLOWING WILL
PROVE PROFITABLE
Puts Soil in Proper Condition for
Coming Season-Destroys
GrubS and CutWormS.
fBy l.. M.

~ - Hs
It will 500 be time to demonstrate
to the amateur the value of the late
blowing that the foresighted man did
during the late months of last year.
There Is none of the fancy natural
setting about the fall work that Is
found in the spring, but the man who
thought ahead and prepared his ground
will soon enjoy an advantage in the
form of n much earlier crop, and In
the satisfaction Of having completed
the Job while he was at 1t that the
less energetic and thoughtful farmer
will not know.
During the first favorable days Of
spring the disk and harrow work will
be done, and the earth will be broken
with all Of the riches that the fall
work bestowed. There are so many
workers who do not understand the
value of this initial work that at the
opening Of the new year the resolution
ought to be made to take a leaf from
the book Of experience and make this
year count on scientific lines.
The fall work will put the ground In
proper condition for the coming sea-
son. Grubs and cutworms and all
Of the bug tribe that come to harrass
and annoy the farm worker will get
short shrift when the pillow turns them
I'D to the mercies of the cold weather
that is to follow. And then the vege-
table matter that is plowed under will
have time to decay and blend with the
soil thoroughly. Where the blowing
Is done on rough, billy soil the fur
rows will catch and hold a large
amount of moisture that would other
wise be lost by reason of the con-
formation of the ground.

All In the Family.

At a recent dinner, given in his he l.
or by the Society Of Kentuckians in
New York, Champ Clark, responding
to the address of welcome, told this
story:
He said that the corner of the old
state in which he was born had in 1t
quite a colony Of members Of the fam
lily that gave Abe Lincoln to the ma
ton. They were as poor as we're most
of the residents of the ~neighborhood
in those early days. One of the more
prosperous members Of the tribe was
an uncle Of the future emancipation.
This man, SO Champ Clark said, had a
good share of the wit and the common
sense and some of the physical charac-
teristics of his great nephew.
"As a small boy" said the narrator,
II remember the old fellow very well.
One night, as he slept in his log cabin,
his wife nudged him into w~akefulness;
and then he heard a sound Of squawk-
ing in the henhouse.
"'Get up-quickr said the wife.
Somebody's after our chickens. Take
your gun and shoot at 'em before they
get away
"No,' said the old man as he settled
back in bed; I reckon I'd rather not
do that. I might kill some of the kin
olks .'"-Saturday Evening Post.

USE SPECIAL CARE
IN CURING ALFALFA
If Crop Has Been Cut and Still
Green, Best Not to Turn It
While Wet With Rain.

Particular care should be used in
curing alfalfa under adverse weather
conditions, asserts r. X. Bennett, in
structor in crops in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
If alfalfa has just been cut and is
still green, it is best not to turn it
when wet by rain. 1t should be left
in the swath until favorable weather
conditions prevail. Providing hay has
dried enough IN top it should be
turned, preferably with a side delivery
rake and allowed to dry in the wind
row. Allow the surface to become dry
before turning the alfalfa under and
keep turning until all the hay is dry
are important points to observe. If
hay has been punched and is wet by
rain, open up the lunches as 500 as
the top is dry and allow sun and wind
to blow through it.
Under the weather conditions of the
last few weeks, shocking hay is good

practice. Make small shocks that will
turn water. Leave until favorable
weather conditions prevail before put
ting In NOV or stack. Some Of the
most progressive farmers use shock
covers but for the average farmer, the
original cost of these and the work re-
quired for their proper use, is prohibit
tive.
For hay to be safe for storage in
NOV the moisture content must be re-
duced to at least 20 per cent. This
point can be determined by taking q
small wisp Of hay and twisting. II no
moisture comes out and 1t breaks read
lily it can be safely stored.
Probably more alfalfa hay Is stacked
in Kansas than is stored in sheds and
it is important that the stack be con-
structed properly. In building a cir
cular stack the sides should be given
a fairly prominent bulge and the mid
die should be well tramped as more
hay is lost through poorly packed EN-
ters than in any other way. The top
should be fairly well rounded and
when settled should show good form.
If some marsh hay or slough can be
secured it is advisable to cover with
vent excessive losses during rainy
weather and before the stack Is we'll
settled.

Women Rule Hospitals Now.

In the days before 1914 women were
rare in military hospitals. Today, ex-
cept for the doctors and the patients,
the military hospital is almost a nun
merry.
This Is one Of the chief revolutions
wrought by modern warfare. The men
who used to act as orderlies are re-
quired for the fighting line. But some
thing more than this. The women who
tOok their places do the work infinite
ly better.
In the Third London General hos
pital at Wandsworth you find some
thing like 500 women attending to the
needs of 1000 wounded men. This
number includes $50 trained nurses,
137 probationers. 1913 scrubbers, so or
derlies, 80 clerks. 10 mattresses. Q mas.
seurs and : cooks.
The presence of women in a mill
tary hospital has a psychological value.

act to the tenderness Of a woman but
his better nature responds To her finer

HELPING HONEY BEE

We take pleasure in kindness In va
rious ways to the higher domestic ami.
mails, well knowing that there Is profit
in this humane treatment, but that 1t
should extend to bees may come as a
new thought to many.
Neglect to provide drink Is as culpa-
BILE as to cut off the food supply and yet
the bees are in, many instances, who'll
ly d~isregarded in this respect.
Yet the insects pluckily shift for
themselves In such cases, and they may
be found congregated about the vilest
places, If they happen to contain mois-
ture. not because they do not prefer
pure water but because 1t is not con-
venient to obtain.
You may have noticed how they in
variably flock about the watering
trough, if it happens to stand In the
neighborhood Of the hives, showing
plainly that water is necessary. and
can you fail to appreciate how many
are drowned in this effort to get a
drink
"A fountain 1Or tnelr special accom-
mediation is so easily made that 1t
is really wicked as well as wasteful to
neglect it. Cover a pan or other shall
low dish with wire screen cloth and
keep the dish filled with water, plac-
ing it in a shady place where it will
keep as cool as possible. The bees
can get the moisture through the
screen and yet there is nc possibility
of their drowning.
Another hardship through pure neg
lect, and one which often results disas-
trously, is a failure to keep the grass
in front of the hives.
How would you like to have such an
obstacle in your path when coming

Navy Recruiting Agents to
Enlist $4,000 More Men

Washington, d. c., Feb. 9.-Navy
recruiting agents have been instructed
to imme ediately enlist $4,000 additional
men.
While the current naval bill author
lied a peace strength of $4,000 men,
it carried appropriations for consid-
erably less than that number, since
the department had estimated that in
the normal course of events not more
than 10000 recruits above the number
necessary to replace men discharged
could be found.
Officials have been encouraged by
recruiting returns during the winter
months, however, which have brought
the actual strength up to nearly $4,000
men already.
In the event of war probably the
first act of the President will be to
authorize the enlistment of the maxi
mum wartime strength of $1,000.
Probably this could be quickly accom-
plished by a provision in the depart
ment's regulations permitting volun-
teers to enlist for the duration of the
war and not binding them to a full
enlistment in times of peace.
