If the newly built corn crib is of
good size it will be well to make ar
rangements for ventilation in case the
corn is not thoroughly ripe when
picked.
In holding potatoes through the win
ter it is well to keep in mind the fact
that there is usually a shrinkage of
five or six pounds per bushel during
the period of storage.
Trees that stand on the line between
two properties belong jointly to the
owners of such properties. In such
ease neither party can trim or fell the
trees without the consent of the joint
owner.
With a flock of hens in confinement
a ration of finely chopped meat should

Thulin, the Swedish aviator, recently
flew across the Baltic sea from Lands*
krona to Stralsund. Germany, in two
hours, the distance being covered at
the rate of 156 miles per hour. This
as three times the speed of the fastest
passenger schedules.
There may be a few sections of the
country where the potato crop is up to
normal, yet there are many other sec
tions where hosts of folks not only
have not raised enough for their own
consumption during the winter, but
will barely have enough for seed.
Figures which have been compiled
with much care by the United States
geological survey show that the disas
trous Ohio flood of last spring inflicted
a loss on the territory visited by it of
$200,000,000, and this huge total does
not take into account indirect losses or
losses of life.
Adulteration in coffee may usually
be detected by shaking some of the
ground coffee in pure water. If pure
the coffee will usually float on the sur
face, while if adulterated the water
will show a pronounced coloring as a
result of the materials which are used
in the adulterating process.
Oct 21 has been set aside by the In
ternational Apple Shippers’ association
as national apple day. The object is
to call country wide attention to the
apple as an important fruit and to its
relatively low cost One of the aims
of the campaign is to see that every
body eats an apple on national apple
day.
A speaker at the recent meeting of
the National Meat Packers’ association
predicted that within ten years the
better cuts of steak would be retailing
at $1 per pound. If this comes any
where near being fulfilled it gives
promise of a handsome return for the
farmer who sticks to the stock raising
business year in and year out.
About the cheapest kind of hypocrite
there is is the person who is uniformly
• courteous and pleasant to strangers,
but who is short and sharp and incon
siderate with the members of his or
her own household. The fraud in con
nection With this kind of business is
that such people want their neighbors
to think them one thing when in reali
ty they are quite different.
Reports from many sections in the
New England states seem to point to
the fact that, while many es the small
er orchard tracts and some of the larger
have been sadly neglected, yet those
who have carefully pruned and spray
ed their trees and have given the cul
tivation and fertilizing which condi
tions required have been well repaid
for their efforts in generous yields of
marketable fruit.
So effective is the vaccination meth
od for typhoid fever'that in the Unit
ed States army, where vaccination is
io# compulsory, the number of deaths
due to this disease has fallen from sev
eral hundred annually, which was the
death loss before vaccination was
adopted, to twenty-seven cases in 1912,
while during the past year there has
not been a case among the 80.000 sol
diers comprising the army.
The verdict seems to be general, now
that the fly season is about over, that
these pests have been much less nu
merous this season than in past years.
There is little question that this is the
direct result of a nation wide fly swat
ting campaign, coupled with greater
diligence in the matter of keeping their
breeding places covered or disinfecting
them. There is no need as yet, how
ever, to fear that the supply of flies
will be entirely exterminated and thus
wipe out the useful service a few of
them render as disintegrators of waste
-decaying manorial and vegetable mat
ter.
Where has been grown for
feed it should be cut now and put lu
medium sized cocks and fed from these.
It will not stand stacking in large
masses, as Is done with hay and dry
fodder corn, owing to its tendency to
ferment and spoil.
Under average conditions It costs
not far from 80 cents per ton to take
standing corn and put it into the silo.
Other things being equal, the larger
the force at work and the heavier the
yield of corn fodder the cheaper is the
cost per ton to handle it
The little gasoline engine will turn
the hand separator and do good work
if the right kind of pulleys are used,
but it should be partitioned off in a
room by itself or at least have the
exhaust connected up outside. The
smell of gasoline must be kept away
from the cream.
The poultry department of the Min
nesota experiment station strongly rec
ommends cracked corn soaked several
hours in skim, sour or butter milk as an
excellent ration for fattening poultry
for market. It not only produces rap
id growth, but keeps the fowls plump
and in good condition.
Where it is possible it is well to
manure and plow a part of the garden
patch before freeze-up. This plowing
turns up lots of insects that are in
their winter quarters, exposing them
to the weather and bird life, while the
action of the frost and air upon the
soil thus turned up is beneficial.
A supply of lettuce may be provided
which will last well into winter by set
ting small plants in boxes and placing
them where they will be protected
from hard freezing. Later the boxes
should be taken into the house and
placed where they will get plenty of
light and the plants watered fre
quently.
In sections where crickets cause trou
ble by gnawing the twine bands with
which grain is bound the matter may
be overcome by soaking the balls of
twine in kerosene or In a solution made
by dissolving two pounds of bluestone
in twelve gallons of water. The crick
ets will let twine alone that is treated
in this manner.
Most cases of the poisoning of cattle
that are allowed to pasture on fields
of forage which have been stunted by
drought during the summer months and
have started to grow a second time
seem to be caused by prussic acid,
which is developed in small quantities
in chemical changes which take place
following such growth.
The other day it was decided that
hereafter with every marriage license

the jimjams maritally it is soggy and
sour bread and biscuits before the
honeymoon is over.
I Not the least of the ills connected
. with the large shortage in the 1913
I corn crop is an unusually high price,
I which will tend to discourage the feed
ing of the cereal to the farm animals.
I The prime cause of the depletion in
I fertility of so many American farms
has been the selling of the products in
the raw instead of in the finished form
of butter, pork, mutton and beef.
The carrots should be taken up and
stored in the cellar before the heavy
freezing weather comes on, while the
parsnips and salsify will be of firmer
texture if they are left until just be
fore the ground freezes. Some of the
two last named vegetables may be left
in the ground all winter and dug when
the frost goes out. If the roots put in
the cellar are placed in moist sand and
not allowed to dry out they will not
shrivel and will keep their flavor and
texture much longer.
I ■■
In the state of Missouri a plan has
lately been put in operation, following
the passage of laws requiring it, where
by the state pays sls a mile for the
dragging and maintenance of all roads
in the state connecting county seats,
but the aid is given only to those coun
ties in which the roads have been im
proved to the point where they are ac
ceptable to the state board of good
roads. In other words, the state aids
those counties which show a disposi
tion to help themselves.
It would be interesting as well as
surprising to know how many of the
1 ills as well as bow much of the poor
condition of domestic animals are more
or less directly traceable to stale or
musty food, impure water and lack of
fresh air during those months of the
year when close housing is necessary
Not all of the conditions referred to
exist at the same time or continue
through the whole year, but on a good
many farms they prevail to such an
extent as to cause a good sized leak in
. the farm income.
How often in suggestions that are
given for the care of animals or poul
try in which a disease has appeared
the direction is given to remove sick
animals from the well. Os course the
sick must be separated from the well,
but in many cases it is far better to
remove the well animals or poultry
from those that are sick and, what is
even more important, from the condi
tions under which it has been possible
for disease to develop. Leaving the
well in the quarters where the sickness
has developed is simply an invitation
to have them cewae down with the
I same malady.
treating fence posts.
Partners’ bulletin No. 387 should be
in the hand-j of every farmer who has
a job of fencing to do. It takes up
simply, yet in detail, practical methods
for treating wooden posts with pre
servatives which will prolong their
period of service. Outfits for treating
posts in the manner mentioned cost
from $lO or sl2 for simple homemade
barrel outfits to SSO for tank outfits
with bricked in fireplace in which the
posts can be laid down full length.
The most satisfactory results in treat
ing posts seem to have been had with
pine, cottonwood and willow posts,
this being due to the cheapness of the
post material and the greater capacity
of these lighter woods for absorbing
tiie preservative material. Before
posts are treated all bark and fiber
should be removed and the posts thor
oughly seasoned. Usually this is ac
complished in the case of five inch
P »sts following exposure to the weath
er for a period of from six to eight
weeks. In the experiments described
in the bulletin the best results were
secured by first giving the posts a bath
in hot creosote from one to three
hours, depending upon the kind of
wood, and following this with a bath
in <old oil for from one to two hours.
The result of the preservative treat
ment is definitely shown in the case of
lodgepole pine in Idaho. Untreated
posts, costing 6 cents each, lasted four
years, while treated posts, costing the
same and given a creosote bath cost
ing 15 cents, lasted twenty years. Fig
uring the cost of setting as 12 cents
in both cases and figuring 6 per cent
interest on the investment, it makes
the annual cost of the untreated post
5 < ents and of the treated post 3 cents
ier year. A postal addressed to the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton will place this bulletin in the hands
of any farmer who may desire it.
SKIMMILK FOR HENS.
Some very interesting evidence of
the value of skimmilk as a ration for
laying hens is contained in a contribu
tion to Hoard’s Dairyman from the
proprietor of a large New York poultry
farm. He became convinced of the
wisdom of using skimmilk as a part of
the ration for the hens and during
April, May and June fed on an average
about 350 pounds of skim milk per
day to 1,500 hens. By a mistake in
instruction the milk was fed to other
stock for a week or two, and at once
there was a decline in egg production
from sixty-two dozen eggs per day to
thirty-eight dozen, the loss directly due
to the omission of the milk being twen
ty-four dozen, which, at 31 cents per
dozen, were worth $7.44. This, divided
by the 344 pounds of skimmilk which
were being fed per day, gives $2.16 per
hundredweight as the value of the
skimmilk as an egg producing ration.
It might be contended by some that
the slump was due to other causes, but
this is disproved by the fact that as
soon as the milk was resumed as a
part of the ration the daily production
of eggs again increased from thirtv
eight to sixty-six dozen per day.
the apple show.
The sixth national apple show and
fruit products congress, which is to be
held at Spokane, Wash., from Nov. 17
to 22, promises to be one of the most
valuable yet held from the standpoint
of the program of addresses and dis
cussions which is being arranged.
Each subject discussed will be opened
by men of recognized authority and
experience in that particular line, while
the discussion following will be by
practical fruit growers present Among
some of the subjects already selected
for discussion are: The standardized
pack, utilizing lower grade fruits in by
products. storing fruit for market
financing the fruit crop and co-opera
tive marketing, considered as a vital
necessity to the individual grower and
to the future of the apple industry.
A GLASS HOG HOUSE.
A Kansas hog raiser some three or
four years ago built a glass hog house
at a cost of about $2,000, it being his
contention that hogs need a good deal
more sunshine than they usually get.
This house contains sixty-two pens
that are six by eight feet in size. Each
pen is connected by a sliding gate with
an eight foot alley way which runs the
entire length of the house and in
which the little pigs can exercise.
Each sow is marked as she is given a
pen, and a record is kept of the num
ber and individual thriftiness of the
pigs in her Utter. In making the house
double glass was used, and the owner
reports that it never freezes in this
glass hog house. He says if he were to
build another hog house he would build
it like this one.
BUTTERMILK PAINT.
A very satisfactory as well as cheap
paint for rough uses may be made ac
cording to the following recipe: Take
one gallon of buttermilk and to it add
three pounds of portland cement and
enough Venetian red or other pigment
to give the desired coloring. The paint
should be applied as soon as possible
after it is made and should be stirred
frequently while being applied, as the
cement, being heavy, tends to settle to
the bottom of the pail. If the paint
has five or six hours in which to dry
after it is applied it will shed water
very effectively. However, it does not
produce a glossy color and will not be
found successful for the better kind of
work.

" Oriental Rug Dyes.
The dyes employed in the coloring ot
the materials that go to make up ori
ental rugs have always been the de
spair of westerners. We are told of
one strange method of making the dyes
of ancient days. It seems that in some
places the custom prevailed of making
holes in the beds of brooks during the
dry season, in which, when the rain
fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral
substance were deposited and left to
act upon one another until the dry sea
son arrived, when the contents of the
holes were removed by the dyers, who,
grinding all together indiscriminately,
made shades that vied with the pi

Lesson Vll.—Fourth Quarter, For
Nov. 16, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Deut. xxxiv, 1-12.
Memory Verses, 5-7—Golden Text,
Ps. cxvi, 15 —Commentary by Rev. D.
M Stearns.
We have now come to our last lesson
in the books of Moses and to the record
of his removal from the earth. The
book of Genesis covers a period of
over 2,200 years. Exodus over 200.
Numbers about forty years, but Le
viticus and Deuteronomy do not bring
us any farther down the stream of
time. The book of Deuteronomy seems
to cover about one month, - in which
Moses rehearsed to Israel the Lord’s
dealings with them.
We have seen that Aaron died in the
fifth month of the fortieth year and
Miriam in the first month (Num. xx,
1; xxxii, 38). Moses continued until
the eleventh or twelfth month. He" be
i gan his rehearsal in the eleventh month
of the fortieth year (Deut i. 3) and
continued until the time of his depart
ure (chapter xxxi. J, 2). We would
like to call attention to many things in
these closing chapters, but wiP first
consider our lesson chapter, the first
four verses of which tell us how the
Lord showed him from the top of Pis
gah, over against Jericho, all the land
which He sware to Abraham, to Isaac
and to Jacob to give unto their seed,
but which neither Moses nor Aaron
could enter because of his rebellion
against the word of the Lord at Mari
bah (Num. xx, 12, 24). It is written
that Moses pleaded with the Lord to
allow him to go over the Jordan and
see the good land, but the Lord would
not hear him and said to him, “Let it
suffice thee; speak no more unto me of
this matter” (Deut. iii. 23-27). And
this because he had spoken unadvisedly
with his lips, having allowed his spirit
to be provoked, and had smitten the
rock instead of speaking- to it as God
had commanded.
Many a time he had prevailed with
the Lord in prayer for this rebellious
people, and now because of them his
request for himself is denied. Yet God
is love, and love is kind. Well might
the psalmist say, “If Thou, Lord,
shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who
shall stand?” (Ps. cvi. 32. 33; cxxx, 3.)
We cannot but think of Him who
did not save Himself in order that He
might save us. Os this very event.
His decease at Jerusalem. Moses and
Elijah talked with Him on the Mount
of Transfiguration some 1,500 years
after the event of our lesson (Luke lx.
30, 31). Os all the events that have
ever transpired on our earth none can
compare with those of Golgotha.
Though there have been many fore
shadowings, the mind of man cannot
grasp the awful realities of that day
and the Son of God suffering for the
sins of the world.
So Moses, the servant of the Lord,
died, but there was nothing sad in
such a death. It was a release from the
long conflict with the world, the flesh
and the devil and a going home to
stay with God. whom he had long
known face to face. There was neither
sickness nor suffering; his eye was not
dim nor his natural force abated (verses
5. 7, 10). Aaron had no sickness (Num.
xx, 25-28). Sickness is not necessary
to death. Do we not see it all about
us and read of it in the papers every
day, whether it is called by the name
of heart failure or some other name?
Even should it be a violent death our
Lord said, “Fear not them which kill
the body.” And we are elsewhere
taught that to die is gain. It is to de
part and be with Christ, which is very
far better; it is to be absent from the
body and present with the Lord, and
precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His saints (Matt, x, 28; Phil.
1, 21. 23; II Cor. v, 8; Ps. cxvi, 15).
Moses died and was buried in the
land of Moab, but no man knoweth
where (verses 5,6). He and Eleazar
probably buried Aaron’s body, but
there was no man present at the death
and burial of Moses. The Lord did it
The record is. "‘He buried him.” Per
haps the angels helped.
I am glad that the body is not the
person, and, though we bury bodies, we
do not. strictly speaking, bury people.
A man once said: “You may bury me if
you can catch me. There is great com
fort to me in knowing that I shall not
be at my own funeral if my body ever
has one.” There is always the possi
bility of not dying, but of being caught
up to meet the Lord ia the air, for we
shall not all sleep (I Cor. xv, 51, I
Thess. iv, 16-18).
Some already have their glorified
bodies, as Enoch and Elijah, who were
translated, and probably those who
came out of their graves after the res
urrection of the Lord Jesus (Matt,
xxvii. 52. 53).
It looks from Jude 9 as if the body
of Moses was raised from the dead, for
the devil does hate the resurrection of
the bodies of the saints, and that may
have been the cause of the contention
there referred to. for Michael is the
special angel of Israel (Dan. x, 13. 21;
Rev. xii. 7). The story of Joshua, the
new leader, will come before us more
fully in our next lesson. Let us give
attention to some of the last words of
Moses. Notice how he set before them
life and good or death and evil; life
and death, blessing and cursing, urging
them to choose life and to set their
hearts unto aM th® words which h® had
spoken as their very Mfe (Deut xxx.
15. 19: x»H. 46. 47). >
