injury and against frost damage.
Fertility experiments are largely
local in their interpretations, espe-
cially so with tree crop, unless there
are some distinctly outstanding feat
ures, that overshadow local environ
mental conditions, such for example
as the value of quickly available
source of nitrogen for peach produc-
ton.
Fertilizer work on fruit trees
should not be interpreted too closely
or one may be lead astray. Such work
is of greatest value when the results
can be applied to soil types similar
to those upon which the experiment
was conducted.

Inspect Premises Frequently.
The Department Of Agriculture adj
vises frequent looking over of the
premises to see that the buildings are
in the best practicable shape to pre-
vent and resist fire, that infammable
rubbish is cleared away, and that
habits Of safety be instilled in the
handling of matches, lamps, stoves and
kerosene and gasoline.
Gasoline has come to play an impor-
tant part in farm life that special care
should be taken to see that it is not
stored in inflammable buildings and is
never opened in the presence of un-
covered flame. If lanterns must be
used in barns, they should be kept In
good condition, set or hung in safe
place, and never filled or lighted in
the barn. Kerosene lamps should be
examined to see that the burners are
in good condition and should never be
left where they may be upset. Kero-
sene and gasoline receptacles should
be kept apart, and should be SO differ
ent as to avoid possibility of a mis-
take.
Numerous disastrous fires are caused
by thrashing machines, both by scat
tering sparks and embers and by dust
explosions in the separators. All smoke
stacks should have spark arresters, and
the, ground around the boiler should
be kept clear and wet down, If neces-
sary. Grain-dust explosions are large
~ preventable. The department has
made exhaustive studies Of the sub
ject and is prepared to recommend
adequate safeguards.

Is silage any better when put up IN
stave silos than when 1t is saved In
concrete silos? Stave silos are prob
ably the more common kind; they are
usually less costly. Many people, how.
ever, prefer the more permanent con-
crete on account Of the greater dur
ability and the fact that the building
material may be found near home In
many cases; but there is an impress
sion on the part Of some people that
the concrete silo does not give such
good results in the preservation Of the
silage from spelling and from freezing.
Experiments made by the dairy d.
vision, United States Department OF
Agriculture, do not bear out this no
ton:
In experiments conducted on the
dairy division farm, at Beltsville, Nd,
two silos were used, one concrete and
one stave, standing side by side. The
stave silo was directly south OF the
concrete one, and hence got more sun
shine and less north wind. Otherwise
they had exactly the same conditions

port Of transactions at her school to
show what wonderful cooperation
% she has in her school work:
lone of the boys had been
troublesome and mischevious all
morning. The teacher intended to
punish him. but he gave her the slip
and ran home. That afternoon he
played truant.
"The teacher requested of the
parent next morning an excuse for
absence. This was the reply:
r. Dear Teacher: Please excuse

eters buried in the silage, which made
a record which could be read on the
outside. The thermometers were
placed 8 inches and Is inches from
the wall and also in the middle OF
each silo. Three sacks Of silage were
carefully weighed and buried in each
silo at various depths, close to the
thermometers and when the silage
was fed down to where the sacks were,
their contents were taken out and an
alyZed.
The quality Of the silage was
Judged by it's appearance and odor and
it's palatability to the cows. If much
difference had been apparent a feed
ing trial would have been made to
see which lot of silage was better, but
the results in the two silos were SO
nearly alike that 1t was not thought
worth while to make the feeding test.
In short, neither the, temperatures
nor the chemical analysis Of the two
kinds Of silage revealed any marked
difference that could be ascribed to the
material used in the construction OF
either silo. Cows ate the silage from
both silos with the same avidity. i
Is concluded, therefore, that farmers
may build, stave sil0s or concrete silos,
which ever they prefer, without any
fear Of not getting good silage from
either one, If the silage Is put up righ:
1t is assumed, Of course, that the
silo in either case will be properly con-
structed, with smooth walls, straight
up and down, so as to be free from
pockets and bulges, and properly coat
ed inside with coal tar or some sim
liar preparation; and that the silage
will be properly packed, SO that all
air will be excluded. Silage will not
keep in any kind Of silo unless packed
down and Kept alright.

prepared BY the United states Department
Of Agriculturs.)
New varieties of fruit differing from
those usually found on the market are
always of interest. New varieties OF
table grapes brought by the United
States Department of Agriculture from
Europe recently formed the basis OF
midwinter demonstration Of the keep
ing qualities Of these valuable sorts,
new to the American vineyard indus
try.
The varieties used In this test were
introduced by the Department Of Agri-
culture; grown in the vineyards under
its direction near Fresno, Oakville and
Colfax, Calf; packed BY it's inyestiga-
tors; transported to It's experimental
cold-storage plant at the Arlington
farm near Washington, and held until
midwinter. long after the holiday sea-
son, with the result that at least si1
new varieties Of potential commercial
value have been demonstrated to pos
sess keeping qualities beyond any hope
which the investigators at the depart
ment entertained.
While repeated seasonal tests will be
necessary fully to determine the value
Of these varieties under American con-
ditions, the prospect Of their proving
superior in dessert and keeping quality
to the varieties now generally grown
appears excellent. In view Of the pro-
found changes which the viticultural
industry is now undergoing, the length
ening Of the consuming season for
American-grown table grapes is highly
desirable to both producers and con-
sumers. The experiments under way
indicate the strong probability that by

American Women AZ Hostesses.
It has often been said that American
women make the most delightful and
successful hostesses in the world.
Perhaps this is because the men OF
our land, so deeply absorbed, as they
usually are, in business or profession,
nowadays generally leave the duties
and pleasures of hospitality to their
wives, daughters, mothers and sisters.
Many man is like guest in his
house at dinner or house party and
leaves entirely to his wife to see that
the guests are introduced and that
they are made to feel at ease.

Farmer Browns Boy.
Farmer Browns Boy is not one to
give up easily. He made up his mind
he was going to find out who the
thief was who had stolen the spoons
and knives and forks and mitten and
buckle from his belt. All day. as he
tramped about among the sugar ma
pies collecting the sap. he kept think
ing and thinking and thinking about
the mysterious disappearance of those
to him that everything that had been
taken, excepting his mitten, had been
bright and shiny. 1t gave him an idea.
Il know what I'll do tonight said
Farmer Browns Boy to himself Il
know what I'll do tonight. I'll tie a
brought over yesterday and I'll leave
it lying ON the table. The other end
of that string I'll tie to my wrist.
Then If anybody tries to take that
spoon In the night they'll pull the
string ana that will awaken me:

So that night when he prepared for
bed he put the knives and forks and
all the spoons but one In a pail. just
as he had done the night De1Ore. 10
that one spoon he tied string, and
the other end of the string he tied
to one wrist. Then he put the spoon
on a shelf and went to bed. Close by
his head he had a little f1ashlight. 1t
didn't seem to him that he had been
asleep very long when he was awak-
ened by gentle tugging of the
string attached to his wrist. Tug, tug.
tug. Very, very slowly and carefully
Farmer Browns Boy reached for the
f1ashlight near his head. Then he
pointed it toward the shelf where he
had left the spoon and pressed the
button. There on the shelf was a little
stranger. He wore brown coat and
white waistcoat. He had hairy tail
and his hands and feet were white.
His big. black eyes shone in the light
with surprise and fear. In his mouth
was the spoon. Farmer Browns Boy
knew then that he had found the
thief.
At the first move Farmer Browns
Boy made that spoon was dropped.
There was a swift patter Of little feet
and the thief had disappeared. Farm
er Browns Boy got up and lighted a
lantern, but though he looked every
where he could see nothing of his re-
cent visitor. He had been a stranger

to Farmer Browns Boy, but one look
at him had been enough to make sure
that he belonged to the Rat family,
and Farmer Browns Boy guessed who
he was.
THAT must have been Trader the
Wood Rat!" exclaimed Farmer
Browns Boy. I've never seen him
before, but I've read about him. This
explains the mystery of the disap-
pearance of my things and Of the
chips and pebbles that found. Trader
isn't real thief. He likes to trade.
For everything he takes away he
brings something. I suppose he thinks
that had just as soon have those
pebbles and chips and hemlock cones
as the things he has taken. wonder
where his home is? guess II find
that I will get back all the things I've
lost. My, but he was surprised when
I flashed that light in his face. He has
made me q lot Of worry, but It is
worth it and more to get acquainted
with him. Tomorrow wen have q
hunt for Traders home. Probably 1t
is down under the floor. The little
scamp! The clever little rascal"
Then Farmer Browns Boy united
the spoon and put 1t with the other
spoons in z pail with . cover on II.
