A RAT-PROOP CORN CRIB.
a corn crib may be made rat and
mouse proof by covering the frame
with quarter-inch galvanized wWc
gauze, all over. Tho cost of this will
be easdy saved in two or threo years,
and the covering is particularly im¬
perishable. Tho floor should be raised
eighteen inches above the ground on
posts, and should be made of bars pro¬
tected by the same covering.—New

An Illinois fruit-grower says that
• the best way to keep the apple orchard
free from codim mollis is to fence it
for the pigs, and as soon as the wormy
apples begin to drop turn in the pigs
every day, Just long enough for them
to eat up the fallen fruit. He adds
that although in a section not favorably
located for raising fruits for market,
there is no good reason why every
fanner should not produce enough for
a full home supply every year—and
no fact is better cstabli-hed than tint,
the consump ion of plenty of fruit the

happiness.- J -[New York Witness.

RULES FOR BARN BUILDING.
Before making a plan insure plenty
of room by a full estimate of capacity.
Ascertain what you want to store
iu it. The following from Country
Gentleman will assist you:
Allow three by fourteen feet for
each iiorsc, four by twelve feet for
each cow, twenty feet square or more
for tools and machinery, twice this
apace for a silo, 600 cubic feet for
each ton of average bay, about or
liearjy the same for unthreshed liay,
a threshing floor twelve to twenty feet
wide and extending lengthwise or
across the barn, a granary having a
capacity in cubic feet equal to about
four-fif hs of the struck bushel, and
olher requirements.
The food required for animals, be¬
sides the usual feeding of grain,would
be from three to four tons of good
.liay for each horse in six or eight
months and nearly two tons for eacli
.cow in five or six months. The feed¬
ing of ensilage to each cow will be
from one cubic foot to one and a half
cubic feet, or about two hundred and
fifty cubic feet in the five or six
months. A silo for twenty cows
should hold five thousand cubic feet.
For storing straw, double the bulk of
hay should be allowed.
PLANTING FRUIT TREES.
There is 60 much upheaval of newly
stirred earth by winter's frosts and
floods that it is not generally best to
plant fruit trees in tho fall. This i->,
(however, a good time to purchase
them, as 6tocks are now full and a
better selection cau be made than in
the spring. The rule with nursery¬
men is to servo best those who come
and pay first. If their stock runs
6liort it is second-class trees that are
left over'. " The advantage of securing
trceain the fall it in heeling them in,
which consists in digging a trench
where the roots may be laid with the
tops of the trees sticking out at an
angle of thirty to forty degrees.
Mix earth th roughly with the mots,
fircut,ing off uil bruised .or
portions, making a clean cut. \Y r i.h
|oi] in con act with this cut surface

Gone in die spring, The trees can
then be set with a certainly that in a
ft-W Weeks their roots will have firm
huj^l of the soil. It is worn labor than
to wait util spring and then plant us
soon as the rees are received, but the
trees do so much bettor as to easily
pay the extra expense.—[Couricr-Jour-

ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.
The application of electricity to ag¬
riculture. lias long been discussed.
There have long stood in the way tho
uucettainty how to apply it and (lie
difficulty uf Ascertaining what the ex¬
act elle.t of electricity on plants was.
Many investigators have reported a
greatly increased yield. Mr. N. Spec-
new, says the Illustrated American,
described tho latest experiments in
practical electricity. In one series be
used seeds of haricot beans, sunflow¬
ers and winter and spring rye. Tho
secds;wcre soaked, electrified aud im¬
mediately sown.
The plants were more developed,
their leaves were larger and their color
brighter Ilian those grown from non-
efle^trifled seed, blit the yield was not
affected. In another series of experi¬
ments plates of copper and zinc about.
two ; fcet by two feet*, and six inches
were buried at the end of the plots
and connected by their upper faces,
the effect being to establish a current
through the earth. The result was
manifested by.a larger crop and by
the growth of vegetables of enormous
dimensions. In a third series electri¬
cal collectors were mounted on insu¬
lated rods aud connected by wires, the
effeet being to obtain a-highly electri¬
fied atmosphere.
Seeds of rye, corn, oats,barley,peas,
clover, potatoes and flax were used.
This form of clectroculture increased
the yield of seed an average of one-
naif, and that of straw one-third,
while flic ripening was more rapid.
It was also found that potatoes
grow u, by electroculturc were rarely
diseased, n” ' />- t t G beneficial effects
of electricity on vines attacked byplf.
loxera have already been observed it
la possible that a new means is at hand
of combating the microscopic pesta
which attack vegetable growth. .
CONCENTRATED FOOD FOIt riGS.
The stomach of a hog is not largo
enough to adapt it to bulky, innutri¬
tions food. As it does nr,t chew tho
cud it cannot make use of grass or bay
in such large amounts as do cattlo and
sheep. Pigs will eat a little clover,
but if left without other food will not
grow much if at all. Knowing this,
os'most fanners do, It must seem s
waste of effort by the Now York Ex¬
periment Station to make a trial ol en.
silage and comfrey as food for grow¬
ing pigs. The result was what might
havo been expected. Tho pigs meroly
rooted over the ens.lage enough to so-
cure what bits of corn were scaUered
through it. Then they, when driven
by hunger, chewed as much of the en-
silage as they coidd.
Prickly comfrey was eaten in very
similar manner. The pigs fed on
b an and corn meal, with a small
amount of ensilage, did better; but
neither they nor those fed on corn
alone produced pork at a profit. Tho
experiment, in shovt, decided nothing
not already well known by farmers.
The cost of the ensilage and of the
prickly comfrey was estimated at $1
per ton, while rather curiously the
manure from this same ton is esti¬
mated at $1.18. According to this
the ensilage-fed pigs, though gaining
nothing themselves, were really a
source of profit as machines for mak-
ing manure.
It is even suggested in the bulletin
recording this experiment lhat breed¬
ing animals, both boars and sotvs,
may be kept on ensilage, as no increase
in their weight is expected. But bow
is the sow to nourish the young she is
bearing, or the boar to be kept in
proper vigor for-breeding on such food
as tliis? Tho experiment was made
with improved breeds, the Chcsbiro
and Duroc-Jersey. A wild, long-
nosed Southern pig would have been
better adapted to this style of feeding,
and with such specimens this unfortu-
nate experiment might have succe-edoii
better.—[American Cultivator.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Take extra care of young stock how.
Fewer crooked bars and more gates,
Prepare for a tough Winter, anyhow.
Good roads help make high-priced
farms.
A paint brush is handy in oiling
harness.
If you wish to strike a cow count
one hundred first.
Tho orchard needs more manure
than tho grain field.
Make water furrows from the low
places in your fields.
During the rainy days repair tbs
tools, oil the harness and fix up the
cow stable.
Chaff,, cut straw or sawdust make
excellent litter for the floor of tho
duck house.
If a young fruit tree blows over set
it up as qui- lc as you can, and fasten
it to its place.
Gi npe seed for planting ought to bo
saved' from well-ripened fruit and
buried in moi t sand until spring.
Hay allowed to mature and then cut
and allowed to lay in tho Sun until
tlioronghly dried out, looses from one-
third to one half its nutritwe value as
a feed for stock.
Generally the loss hay Is handled tho
less will be the cost'aud t ie better the
quality Ot the product for feeding, and
generally machinery and horses will
do the work cheaper that- men.
I11 order to realize the largest profits
from the meadows a goo.! even stand
of grass must be scoured. It must be
cut in good season and he handled and
stored away in an economical manner,
and then be fed out to good, thrifty
stock on the farm.
A lVord About Scollops.
A scollop shell is in shape not un¬
like that of a small clam, although the
shells of tho former are flatter and
very fragile. Each shell is regularly
pectinated or fluted from back to edge.
The outer surface of the shell is ash
colored, and the inner faces are cov¬
ered with a delicate coating of pink
mother of pearl.
The only ediblo part of a scollop is
a muscle, larger but like in appear,
ancc to the oyster muscle, commonly
called “tho eye.” Tho muscle when
taken from (ho scollop is about as
large as a pigeon egg and of a fishy
whiteness. All other parts of the
scollop are watery and insipid. This
refuse still retains its reputation yis a
bait for all kinds of fish.
The scollop is a graoeful and rapid
swimmer, and is not affixed to ground
or stone or log like the oyster. When
resting ho drops in the sea weed, but
never seeks the bottom like other shell¬
fish. When swimming tho scollop
opens his shells until they look like a
pair of wings, and closes them again
with lightning rapidity. As this
double motion is made more than a
hundred times a minute some idea of
the scollop’s amazing evolutions may
be had. It is the most restless and
voracious shellfish. In search of nni-
mslcula;, ils food, (he scollop is untir¬
ing, and is on the move night and day *

The Japanese as Metal Worker*.
The Japanese are past masters in the
treatment of alloys both in texture and
color, and no better guides exist.
They achieve their grand results by
the simplest means-a judicious blend-
ing Of various metals, inlaying and
ptckiing.- Copper is the basis of their .
chief.jilloys, and by incorporating with
't certain proportions of' gold- and
silver they obinin remarkable results
iu.wlor through the pickling process.
But not only do they get striking
effects from llicir alloys and pickling—
(heir mode of working up the metals
is a thing to be studied. For instance,
they wi 1 take six or seven plates of
ddlyient metals and alloys, weld them
together, and tlten by drilling, puiicli-
ing up and filing, get a surface in
which all the metals sliow in a manner
which is truly wonderful. By the
Liege of tints at their command they
can work out on a metal surface

that the neck of the duck was seen as
under the water when the handle was
held in a certain light. Another ex¬
ample .was a sword-hilt on which some
minnows not more than one-sixteenth

a pair of gold eyes, were swimming
up a gray stream, tho effect of their
being actually below tho surface of

summer boarders, and one morning he
was bu.-ily engaged in killing chickens
for dinner. Just as lie was about to
decapitate an old black hen the house
was discovered to be on lite, and a
scene of confusion immediately ensued.
The farmer rushed aimlessly about in
all directions, holding the hen under
his arm ami doing nothing toward as¬
sisting in putting out tho flames. At
last his wife caught sight of him as he
was prancing about, and rushing up
to him wanted to know why lie did not

Black Teak in Africa.
Various writers who have visited Africa
attc-t the enormous wealth of the forests
of tho couutry, which seim to ab.rucd in
valuable hardwoods: Amotic other
a recent writer mentioned the
black tiak. To quote bis language:
‘‘The black teak is an entirely new
wood. It has the full nppcaratlCG of teak
in tree, leaf and bark, grain or growth.
I3ut it is nenrly a dull black color,
and splits just about the same ns
the yellow teak. Wlint I have seen of it
has been in small trees, but 1 kill told
that there uro large, forests of it up the
Kasiub river, mostly trees in size of from
13 to 20 inclios over the stumps, ranging
from 20 to CO feet to first limbs. This is
the timber chosen by the natives for bows
and airows, spear handles, paddles
anything wi ere a good tough timber piece
is needed. I consider it a be tter
for spokes, felloes, bandies, etc., than the
best American hickory or oak, or white
ash, as it is very hard when green, dries
still harder, and is not much of a timber
to warj) I have^used jt on axe-handles
and other places for over a year, 'and it
has proved far better than the best im¬
ported split aXe and shovel bandies. It
is very springy, and that is why it is used
for bows and spent handles,”
TnE following written definition of the
word “bachelor” was handed in by a
fifth grade boy: ..“A bachejor is a man
whb has no wife; nor wants no wife, nor
can’t get no wife.”

cdy cures the worst cases of
chronld catarrh in the head,
catarrhal headache, and “ cold
in the head.”
In perfect faith, -itsj.makers,
the World’s Dispensary Mcd-
ical Association of” B uftalo,
N. Y., offers to, .pay $500 to
any one suffering from chronic
catarrh in the head whom
they cannot cure.
Now if the conditions were
reversed—if they asked you to
pay S500 for a positive cure
you might hesitate. Here are
reputable men, with years of
honorable dealing; thousands
of dollars'"and a great name
back of them and they say—
“ We can cure you because
we’ve ‘ “cured ‘ thousands like
you—if $500 we for can’f the knowledge we’ll pay
you there's whom
that one we
can’t cure.”
They believe in themselves.
Isn’t it worth a- trial?.?.-, Isn’t
any trial preferable to catarrh?
