Huy farmers suffer a great waste from vvennin in the corncrib, and fre quently it is very serious. Rats a*e especially a great enemy in this respect Unless the cornhouse is so made that there are no hiding places, it is impos sible to dislodge the rats from their re treat. The cornhouse shown in the illustration, which is reproduced from the Ohio Farmer, is made so it U Inac cessible to rats or mice, and there are no hiding places beneath it. It is ele vated three feet above the ground on firmly set stone posts, neatly dressed. The cribs may be made from six to eight feet wide and of any desired length. For 4.000 bushels of corn in the ear the building should he 40 feet long with cribs 8 feet wide and 1? feet high. In building this one should use 6xß timber for sills and 2xß joist.

The studding should be 2x6 set three feet on centers, with 2x4 girts notched into the studding. The ends of this build ing are sided with seven-eighth Inch matched drop siding put on horizontally except the gable, which is put on ver tically. The sides are covered with Ix3 inch' strips set a half inch apart and are put ou vertically. The space between the cribs is twelve feet wide, and is dosed inside from the bottom of the cribs to ground, forming an inside shed, which is not accessible to any farm animals. This inner shed is closed by rolling doors at each end. The cribs are boarded up inside the shed with three-inch strips placed hori zontally a half inch apart to admit air, and by openinng the doors free circula tion of air can be obtained ’u fine weather. The shed is doored over above, forming an apartment twelve feet wide by forty feet long. Well-Braced Knd Post. The illustration shows an effective way of securely anchoring the end post of a wire feuee. The post (a) should be set at least three feet in the ground and four is much better.

The post (b) is about six feet from (a), and % U AX ANCHORED FXD POST. through the hole tfi the cable from the buried stone is passed. The brace (c) Is a 2x* board securely spiked iu place. When the posts and the stoue are being put iu position the soil should be tamped until it is very firm. Secured in this way, an end post will remain Immovable for many years. When Soiling l’ays. Nearly every dairyman has experi enced the shrinkage that comes in mid summer. when the pastures dry up and grass is scarce. It is at this time that soiling will pay and pay liberally.

Wylde. New t c for Watermelons. A Georgia farmer is said to have be come the pioneer iu anew industry— namely, making syrup out of water melons. He cuts the melons in halves, scoops out the pulp, runs it through a cider mill, presses out the juice aud then boils the liquid for twelve hours over a hot fire. Out of 270 melons, worth $.5 or SO at wholesale, he gets thirty gallons of syrup, and markets the product at 30 cents a gallon. The refuse is fed to the hogs, cattle and chickens, and the whole operation Is very profitable. To Kid Poultry of I.ice.

Potatoes do excellently well upon land where a crop of green rye has been plowed in. being usually very free from scab, fair and smooth, says the American Cultivator. Karly potatoes can be taken off in time to sow rye, which will make growth enough to furnish a good fall pasture or a spring pasture for cattle or sheep, and then it may be plowed under in season to plant potatoes again or some other later crop. We do not Ike the idea of growing two crops of potatoes on the same land for two years in succession, but there ae many other crops which would follow well after the rye was plowed in, and nearly all crops can be taken off in time to sow rye after them, which will be large enough to plow under iu the spring. But do not trust to the rye alone as a fertilizer, but use it as an addition to the other ferti ,! zer applied. Goi-ijj Bac < to the Farms. While the census shows that the cities have increased in population more rap idly than the smaller towns between 18!>0 and 1000, this increase is not gen erally so great a percentage tbove that of the towns as was shown by the ceu sus of 1800 for the ten years previous to that date. This is more particularly true in what are known as the agricul tural States than in those where large manufacturing industries have been established iu or near the cities. And even in the latter case there seems to be a tendency for many of the employes to seek a residence in the suburbs or some small town near by. where they are retired from the noise and bustle of the city, and where they can have room to have fruit trees, garden and poultry yard to occupy leisure hours, pr such days as they are not employed. And perhaps some credit may be givefc to the character of the immigrants who have come to us. They are more largely from agricultural sections, and prefer to go to the country wliete they will be classed as skilled laborers, than to join the unskilled laborers of the city en gaged in the hardest kinds of manual labor. , Beet Sugar and Bounty. It has lately been decided that a State has not a constitutional right to pay a bounty to beet sugar growers or to the factories for manufacturing the sugar. Yet this is the way it is done in Euro pean countries, either by paying boun ties or by taxing the use of sugar at home, and remitting the tax on that exported, s? their own citizens can not obtain it at home as cheaply as the citizens cf other countries. By this policy Austria-Hungary produced in the year ending July, 1599, 1,041,700 tons of raw' sugar from beets, and in the year ending July, 1900, 1,100,000 tons, the largest product they have ever known. Germany also Increased her product for the nine months front August, 1898. to April, 1899, inclusive, from 1.49r>,804 metric tons to 1.r>54,492 metric tons for the same months in 1599 and 1900. To Make the Hens Lay. If the hens don’t lay, turn them out and let them dig aud hunt in the ground for food, is the advice of T. F.-Mc- Grow, iu the Country Gentleman. Bury small grain where they will find it when they dig. This will induce them to hunt, aud while thus employed they will find bugs and worms that will quicken the production of eggs. It is well to follow this plan as soon as the spade will turn the ground, for it adds vigor and strength to the hens and in sures strong, healthy chicks. The lazy, idle hen is of no use, but to sit about, eat, and grow fat. If she will not work, she will uot lay. If she will uot lay. her life should end. and her fat carcass grace*he table. Y'ott can always rest assured that the indoleut hen is a nou | producer; soon she becomes too fat to | lay and too tough to be eaten. Adapt the Crop to the Soil. Alva Ager writes to the National Stockman -that last year he regretted not having plowed up one acre of wheat aud planted it to potatoes. The soil was too rich for the wheat, which lodged before heads filled, aud de stroyed the clover seeded with it. His reason for not doing so was that lie did want to cut oft' one acre for a different crop from the rest of the field. Resit! t, no returns for the labor done or seed sown. Last fall he sowed it to rye, and last spring planted it to potatoes, adding $3 worth of acid phosphate, and this fall he harvested over 200 bushels of merchantable potatoes or SBO worth as they sell there, besides the unmer chantable ones. lie thinks rock and rye a good combination for his soil, meaning the South Carolina phosphate rock. Weeds in the Pasture. A weed is as much "a plant out of its proper place” in the pasture as else where, and where the pasture is de voted to dairy stock it may be doing more damage there than it would in mowing or cultivated field. It takes up food and moisture that are needed for the useful plants, aud It sometimes is of such a character as to be poisonous to the animal, and often weeds impart unpleasant odors aud flavors Cos the milk and its products. If the pastures could be cleared of weeds aud bushes and their place giveu to better grass, not only won 1/1 they produce enough for many more animals, but the milk prod ucts would be of more uniform good quality. If the whole pasture cannot In' cleaned in oue season, clear a littlf each year. Filled Cheese.

POINTS ON THE MODE. ATTIRE NOW WORN BY FASHION ABLE PEOPLE. Bittle Shoulder Fixities That Sees* to Impart Warmth, but Do Not —Pro- nounced Revival of Spangled and Embroidered Net—Gotham Gossip. New York correspondence. fEAIt by year the fashionable woman has become more settled in the habit of doing without wraps so long as is posible. In the past two autumns this was carried to the point of reckless de fiance of uncomfort able coldness, but this year mild weath er has favored the followers of the fan cy. So the number* of the unwrapped and the variety of their substitutes for protective garments have increased.

Thus brought forward is anew arrangement of the fur collar with tabs. Instead of lading fastened tinder the chin, it is mounted ou a chiffon scarf so that the fur lies out ou the shoulders. This gives a suggestion of warmth without adding a bit. Little jackets of taffeta are still worn- though the black ones have been overdone. To be really swag ger a taffeta jacket should match the feather boa or harmonize with it. Borne thrifty women have had whole suits made on suite with a little jacket or eton. The latter is being worn noyv as a wrap, and will be laid away soon, to FASHIONS BUT RECENTLY ADVANCED. reappear with the skirt in the spring. This trick can be done so adroitly that its true purpose will not be apparent. The initial sketch is of a suit that will do this. Its good's was red cloth, the skirt plain. But the jacket was embroidered in gilt and trimmed with cuffs, fronts and edg ings of burnt orange velvet. When real coats eonte into use they will be of half length with straight back. That is the variation of the box coat which brought that fashion into popularity. Caped coats like the model pictured here offer a change from the conventional box affair, but the rule in all is to have room a-plenty. Now that women are spending much on their corsets, aud corsets are becoming so marvelously a part of the figure, un boned dresses are being introduced. It seems silly to spend a lot of money on a corset, and then a lot more for a dress that is practically another corset, yet not a few such gowns are seen. An example is a spangled lace affair that may hang loose with a pair of long tabs, or these tabs may be wrapped about the wearer, drawing the looseness close. The result is a bodice of faultless responsiveness to line. Many fancy bodices are now made NEW IDEAS FOR CLOTH GOWNS. ou some such plan. In the left-hand up per corner of to-day’s second picture is one of these bodices. It included a seam less yoke and <eeves of spangled black net. a lower yoke portion of light liberty silk shaped ;n slightly, and a Persian silk scarf Pi adjust about the vra:st. draw,ng to the lines made and held by the cor sets. Though this description may sug gest pitch work. the idea is anew and ex pensive one Yoke and sleeves may have foundation, or not. and a variety of scarfs will enable the owner to vary the gar ment still further. It seems odd to count Turkish ami Indian scarfs a> material suitable for bodices, but all sorts of ori ental stuffs are being thus used; and the resulting bodice* are beautiful. The era*- for gold makes gold embroidered stuffs greatly in demand, and the orien tal one of gold is usually in excel-ent taste. There is pronounced revival of Interest In spangled and embroidered net*. Love ly pnneeae robe* are ahown ia black net ablaze with many colored spangle*. The nse of white crystal on black is especially favored, and there are eome wederfai etfecta ia *e w ib ecak apaagiea. These are Iridescent and stick k are not sewed. The material thus decorated is likely to get bald spots, but owners of extravagant gowns don’t want them too durable. Below the bodice just described is one of these dresses. The net was over old rose silk, and the jacket was white satin embroidered with gold and crystal beads. Surplice and fichu jackets of this general order are varied prettily, and most of them are brilliantly colored. An other much-favored general type of bolero is represented across the picture in an oyster colored cloth affair. Gilt soutache, a gilt buckle and long ends were its trim mings. The low-cut, collarless gown gains in vogue, and all sorts of lovely old-time strings of beads are worn now about rhe neck. Tiny coral beads alter nating with crystal are popular. Made yokes, woven of one piece of lace, come with this no-collar finish, and may be ap plied to any dress without the difficulty attached always to adjusting a ready made collar. The high choker certainly holds for street wear, and all sorts of swagger chokers are offered in bands of bright velvet topped by a line of gold. That line of gold often widens to a solid expanse. Whole jackets of the eton va riety a r e made of gold tissue mounted on silk and heavily embroidered in all over design. Whole hats are made of it and whole fronts shine with it. So broad are many of the effects that the tawdriness of the modest “line” is lost sight of. and seems attractive even to folk who disap prove tinsel for dress use. All skirts except the outing sorts are made long all around. The pronounced train appears only on the full dress cos tume. but all others sweep the floor all around, and all are full about rlie feet, either from the spring of pleats or from the shaping of the foot-edge flounce. Women either wear outing skirts, or en deavor to hold up these long skirts on the street. The pleated skirt is not easy to hold up. nor is the stylish length shown in the group of three fall costumes a sensible one. Styles as new as these, however, are safe from anything like gen eral condemnation because of such a fault. This princess gown’s main fea tures were gray broadcloth as material, ideated skirt panels of gray velvet and a bolero of white cloth embroidered in silver. Crystal passementerie gave its band trimming. Ited broadcloth, draping of black velvet and spangled white lace yoke and collar were details of the gown next this. Then comes a green cheviot, the jacket self-trimmed with bias folds, and held by gilt buttons aud black silk cord. The new millinery of which several types appear here has brought about a new fashion in hairdressing. She who follows it wears ber hair in a picturesque and glossy confusion about her forehead. This is very different from and vastly prettier than the fuzz she used to encour age.

The hair that shows is combed down aud away from that under the cap to be the pompa dour. The switch locks are drawn to gether and twisted lightly out of the way on their portion of the scalp. The rest of the hair is divided into four portions; one over the forehead, oue back of each ear, the rest at the nape. Th forehead lot is fluffed, glossed and loosely twisted, the ends tucked under the switch coil or curved about it. The side locks are puff ed behind the cars and the ends blend with the coil. The back lot is combed up loosely, and with the twist of its end is held bj the back comb carefully so that a> separation shows, except perhaps he one at the left side of the front Jock.

Carp are kacwn to have lived two hundred years and over, while the case of the Russian pike that was aucfct a few years ago wi*h a gold band round his tail on which the date 1346 was imprinted is well known. There are gold fish that have belonged to one family over sixty years, and do not uow appear much larger than when originally placed in the aquarium, though they are every bit as lively as ever.

The Chicago Record tells a story 1 which reads like a queer negation of the good old injunction. "Honor to whom honor Is due.” A peculiar telegraphic correspondence was earned on between the capitals of Saxony. Bohemia and Russia. Some one in Dresden had a maiden aunt who was taken siek and died in a hospital at Prague *£'.,ile on her way to Vienna. The nephew was notified, and he telgraphed to the Prague hospital au thorities to send the body to Dresden for entombment in the family vault. When the coffin arrived and was opened it was found to contain, not the body of the aunt, but that of a uni formed and bedizened Russian general. Immediately the nephew telegraphed to Prague: “No dead aunt, but Russian general. Where dead aunt?” From Prague came the reply: “If dead aunt not arrived, then Petersburg.” The next telegram went to the rail way authorities at St. Petersburg, and read: “What do with Russian general? Who:v is dead aum :*•* And from St. Petersburg was received the reply: “Bury general in all silence. Aunt just buried here with highest military honors.” HELPED THE CHIEF. How a Loyal Engineer Did His Brother Great Service. Meadville. Pa.. Nov. 12. 1900.—(Spe cial.)—The Loyally of the Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers is proverbial. A circumstance oc curred in this city some days ago, which emphasizes this feeling. Frank J. Zeller is chief of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers No. 143. He is extremely popular among his fellow railway men. and one of the best known engineers runuing out of Meadville. When the announcement was made a short time ago that Frank was pretty sick, it caused a great deal of regret among the boys. Soon lie was missed from his engine, having had to "lay off” on account of his back. A brother of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, who had been ill With ffiqiila’. symptoms some time be fore, and who had been pulled through, called to see Mr. Zeller, and in a broth erly way took with him a box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, the remedy which had cured him. He advised Mr. Zel ler to try them, with the result that after seven boxes had been used, he was entirely well, and able to work. In an interview Mr. Zeller states: “I had suffered for four years with this affliction, being often kept awake at night with pains, and at times un able to work. I tried several of the advertised remedies, and found that they did me no earthly good. Finally, a member of our order, who had been cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd’s Kidney Pills brought me a box. and asked me to try them. I bad little faith in them, but as a drowning man grasps at a straw to help him, so I took the pills. I used seven boxes, and am to day as well and strong a man as there Is in Pennsylvania.” Naturally, Mr. Zeller feels very grate ful. and his complete recovery has de lighted his many friends, and none more than the good brother, who feels that he was instrumental in saving the life of the chief. Dodd’s Kidney Pills never fail to cure Kidney Trouble. Sold for 50 cents a box, all dealers. Count Tolstoi at Home. Count Tolstoi, the famous Russian novelist, neither drinks, smokes, nor eats meat. It is his boast that he dees not possess a single article lie could possibly dispense with, and he has even refused to receive a bicycle as a present, on the ground that it is a lux ury. His recreations are chess and lawn tatiuis, at both of which he is adept. Chronic Nasal Catarrh poisons every breath that is drawn intc the lungs. There is procurable from any druggist the remedy for its cure. A small quantity of Ely’s Cream Balm placed into the Nostrils spreads over an inflamed and angry surface, relieves immediately the painful inflamma tion, cleanses, heals and cures. Drying in halants, fumes, smokes and snuffs simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secre tions which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing afar more serious trou ble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, use Ely’s Cream Baliu. It is reliable and will cure catarrh, cold in the head and hay fever easily and pleasantly.

In many parts of Normandy “spent hark" or "tan.” is used by peasants as fuel. They get the tan for little or nothing and then by means of a very primitive sort of press they make it into cakes, wtieli very much resemble peat in appearance. It is then dried in shelves erected on the walls of the house and garden, and protected from the rains by little sloping roofs. These tan cakes make excellent fuel, and in Czudebec, a Mttle place between Rouen and Havre, it is much used. It seems that thousands of tons of tan are thrown away annually, which at small cost might be converted into excellent fuel. A New Fire Extinguisher.

The driver was nodding over the reins when the car behind which lie was driv ing stopped abruptly. Ills horse stopped, too,and the driver straightened up in his seat to find himself in a trap. Within a few Inches of his horse’s nose was a car; just behind the wagon was another car, to his left a third, bound downtown, and to his right was a pile of paving stones topped with the sign. “Street closed.” It was then 3:15 o’clock and the driver was in a hurry, at least that is what he tola grijffnau and bystanders in language both pictur esque and profane. Then he settled down to wait. At 4 o’clock he was still waiting. At 5 lie took the horse out of the shafts, dunlin'll the contents of his wagon on tlie sidewalk and disappeared up the street. At 7 o clock he returned with the ltorso. tied the animal to the “Street closed” signboard and there he sat in sulphuric solitude until the blockade was broken, a few minutes past 9.
