Fruit Storage Houae. The Vermont Station gives a description, with Illustration, of a frame storage house In which low temperature and ventilation are provided by throwing open doors and windows during cool spells In the fall and keeping them closed at other times. The house Is 30 by 50 feet and has two stories and basement The basement and first floor are used for storing fruit and hold 1,000 barrels each. The second floor Is for empty barrels, etc. The building has double Walls and double windows. An oil stove gives heat enough to keep the fruit from freezing in winter. The lumber used in the construction of this house was as follows: *Three thousand ffive hundred feet wall boarding, 3,C00 feet roof boarding, 8,500 feet celling (inside), 7,200 feet floor boards (“double floors), 4,000 feet clap-boards, 25 bundles lath, and 22% squares slate. Outside Finish—Two hundred feet (linear measure) 5-Inch crown mold, 190 feet (linear measure) 3-ineh bed mold,

Corner boards, fout>p!eees, % by 5, 15 feet; four pieces % by 0, 13 feet. Sills, eight pieces, 2 by S, 15 feet; 10 pieces, 2 by 8, 13 feet.

Itaftcrs, 50 pieces, 2 by 8, 21 feet. Braces, 20 pieces, 2 by G, 0 feet; 20 pieces, 1 by 0, 8 feet. Ribbons, 10 pieces, 1 by 4, 13 feet. Ridge poles, four pices, 2 by 12, 13 feet. -- This bill Is estimated at 5443.09, and the house cost 51,500 finished. The labor of building was performed by the Rwner at spare times. , I Such storage buildings as the one Just described, which depends on the husbanding and utilization of low temperature during cold waves in early spring and fall, would not, of course, fulfill their purpose during the hot summer months. They are obviously best adapted to a cold climate, such as is found in the Northern States. Here they can. In the opinion of the New Hampshire Station, be made more useful In our present transitional period of storage construction than any other. Their defect is that they do not main-

tain a sufficiently low and even temperature, and they would l>e of little use In a warm climate. It is, however, but a step from such irfrult house to Ice storage. Aside from® the details or construction, the only difference Is that the upper* story Is used for storing Ice, thus cooling the air lu the top of the building, which sinks and in turn cools the room below. Market Value of KnolLage. Trof. Phelps makes quite an elaborate computation ns regards a fair mafket value of ensilage, from which lie decides that It Is worth about one-third to one-fourth the price per ton of a good stock liny free from clover. He figures It In this way; Thero is about 4HU potuuls of water free of dry matter In a ton of ensilage and 1,740 pounds In a ton of liny, but when the digestibility is calculated there Is .‘l3O pounds of food elements digestible In the ton of silage, and about 1,000 pounds In the ton of hay, being near enough to call It one-third of the food value. But we do not always compute the value to the dglryman by the nutritive value If the Professor does. Tbo-jjaoro succulent and easily digested silage when given as a part of the food ration will produce more milk than one-third of 1U weight In hay. That is those who have tried It aay that thirty pounds of en-

silage a day with ten pounds of hay will give better results than twenty pounds of hay. As those who have grown it for years say the cost when in the silo is from $2.50 per ton with best machinery up to $3.50 when much hand labor is used, we think it Is profitable for the farmer to put pp his ensilage. Keep the Hon on the Form. A great deal of plausible advice has been given under this heading, which may or may not be practicable when applied to real life. But oue secret 6t keeping the boys In the country home, and thus solving the abandoned farm problem, Is In arousing their Interest and giving them some personal share In that farm, something which they can feel Is their own, and which will be theirs also when the time comes for Its sale. For this purpose nothing Is better than poultry raising. Many a boy has become a successful poultry keeper by having a pair of bantam fowl given him when a child, and being made responsible for their care and keeping. Do not discourage the crude attempts of the boy, nor laugh at his enthusiasm, but tactfully point out the best way to accomplish the end he desires; show him how to care for his little flock, and foster his Interest in every way. Teach him about the nature and habits of the hen, and cultivate In him the faculty of careful observation. As the boy grows up, his interest will deepen, and when the time comes that boys are tempted away from the farm by the attractions of city life, he will be unwilling to leave the business which he has built up and which he finds profitable. Give him occasionally a pair of fancy fowl; encourage him to exhibit at the fair and to take a pride In the condition of the feathered community under his care. A subscription to a good poultry Journal or live farm paper, if he Is at all Inclined to reading, will help to stimulate Ills interest. If the boy, the average country boy, has a pleasant, ey-making employment, he will not often desire to leave the farm; and that employment may often be found In poultry raising. It is a business which is never likely to he overcrowded. Encourage the boys; they are the lifeblood of New England.—Maine Farmer. Clean Milk. To secure cleanliness in milking the American Agriculturist suggests a wooden hoop a little smaller than the

top of the uiilk pail. Put a square cf cheesecloth over the top of the pail and held In In place by the hoop, as shown. This is an aid to cleanly milking and can be

made In ten minutes. The cloth should be washed after each milking, when It will be ready for use again. This simple device will do just as well as the tin tops that come ready to l*e adjusted to the tops of the milk pails, and the homemade affair will cost nothing. Birnyard Sheds. We once knew a man who decided that he would make a tight board fence on the north and east sides of his barnyard to protect the cattle from the wind, as It would cost but Little more than any other snug fence. When this was done he found that a little expense would roof over the space between the fence at one side and end and the building. Then he had a shed, not quite water tight, for ‘he did not shingle It, but battened the cracks, where the cattle could stand while he was cleaning out the stables and spreadßrgThe bedding In a stormy day, aud longer when the sun shone into It, and they were much more comfortable. It was pleasing to see how the cattle would gather in that shed after they had drank, while waiting for the door to open that they might go Into the barn, /l'he expense was small and was more than repaid by the comfort-Of thecntfte, apd probably’by saving of food, though the farmers of those days did iiot parry their experiments on ps jclentjfleally and get results as exactly as the experiment stations do now. When they Uioimt ft ncw/metlmd pajd they did not figure tno profit down* to fractions of a cent.—American Cultivator. Too Much Salt. Too much salt is used by many butler makers. The whole tendency amoto consumers is toward fresher butter, la England and on the continent butter made in those countries Is served particularly fresh and white. In the bsst restaurants and hotels In the larger cities of this country the butter contains very little salt. A great number of American who go abroad or who patronize city hoiels and restaurants In this country are acquiring the taste for fresh butler.—American Agriculturist. Adnlterated Flour. It is said that one reason why English buyers prefer to purchase wheat and have It ground there, instead flt buying American flour, Is that they have found evidences In the flour of adulteration with corn flour, and even corn cobs, clay and -oilier substances. If this charge Is true, there Is no one to blame but the millers If they do not grind aH the wheat we grow, or all they need to keep their mills busy. It Is said that the Millers’ National Association will take action in the matter.

HAD A ROUGH EXPERIENCE.

It Convinced the Judge that Sane Men Might Be Sent to an Asylum. M. H. Ghetwynd, of Philadelphia, in commenting on a recent case where a sane person was released by the courts from an asylum where he had been illegally confined, told the following story: “About twenty years ago a lawyer of prominence got Into a controversy on this very point with an equally well-known judge. The lawyer maintained that It was the easiest thing in the world to get a sane person confined in an asylum. The judge, while admitting that It might be possible, held that it would be very difficult and that the difficulties would increase in proportion to the position in society of the Intended victim. *A person’s standing in the community presents no obstacle,’ said the lawyer. ‘Why,’ turning suddenly to his companion, ‘I could even get you locked up In an asylum If 1 wanted to.’ ‘Nonsense,’ answered the judge, and then he laughed aloud at the absurdity of the Idea and the discussion for the nonce was dropped.

“It occurred on a railroad Vrain, which, stopping a short time later at a station, the lawyer suggested to the judge that they stretch their legs on the platform. They had not got ten feet from the train when the lawyer suddenly hurled himself upon the Judge and at the same time cried aloud for help. A half dozen bystanders rushed to the lawyer’s aid, and before the judge realized what had happened he was held by a dozen hands. ‘All right; thank you,’ said the lawyer to the men who had come to his aid. ‘Tie his hands behind his back, for he's dangerous.’ This was too much for the judge. ‘l’m Judge So-and-So,’ he began with dignity, ‘and this outrage—Just then he felt a rope on his wrist and his selfpossession deserted him and he fairly raved at the indignities that were being heaped upon him. He resorted to language not usually heard from the bench or employed by the judiciary. But the more he said the less effect it seemed to have ou his captors. “Finally he paused for breath and the lawyer in a quiet voice said: ‘Are you satisfied now that I was right in the argument?’ ‘Satisfied!’ began the judge, hysterically, ‘satisfied!’ But he got nQ further. ‘Yes, d—n you!’ was the manner In which he lowered his colors.

“A few words and judiciously distributed coins among his captors by the lawyer released the judge and enabled him to get upon the train just as the conductor called ‘All aboard!’ "In the town where they had stopped was the State lunatic asylum and the advent of lunatics was a part of the town's dally routine. Hence the alacrity with which the -judge was seized. ‘But it was a pretty rough object lessod,’ he complained when he had recovered sufficient equanimity to enter Into conversation with his companion. ‘Perhaps, but it proved what I said.’ was the reply, ‘and who knows but that some day it may prove of great value to you and enable you from that experience to prevent or else to right a great wrong.’ The judge made no reply, but lost himself in thought."

Friday Superstition.

A row of paupers’ houses, very neatly designed, lias Just been erected at Ahnaracle, Mr. Rudd, of Ardnamureltan, having advanced a considerable sum for building purposes to the parish council on easy terms. Accommodation is provided for ten persons. A few days ago H. Mael’herson, Inspector of poor, visited Altarade in order to superintend the removal of the ten selected female paupers to the new cottages. They all occupied houses which wore iu a wretched stateof disrepair, yet each of them resolutely and peremptorily refused to “flit.” Iu vain did the inspector dilate on the Increased comfort and conveniences to be iujoyed iu the new dwellings. The aged dames were invincibly proof against all argument—nor did threats of compulsion and sheriff’s warrants have any terror for them. At length it was elicited that the disinclination to remove was based simply on superstition. The day of the week happened to be Friday; and it appears that to change quarters on that particular day constitutes a gross and wanton violation of all the canons governing highland “flittfcig.” On discovering that the perversity manifested by the ohl women was mainly attributable to “conscientious scruples,” the Inspector at once agreed to humor them, and the removals were postponed until the following d*y. when they were accomplished without any opposition or demur.—tEdl 11 burgh Fcofaman. Frozen Ammunition. Ships can now go to sea with frozen ammunition. A method of utilizing liquefied air on warships has been discovered which will render the explosion of a magazine, even .when the ship Is in 'notion, almost Impossible. The method Is so to place the liquid air that It will freeze the ammunition to several hundred dogtve* below zero. In that condition It could not explode, even if a shell should burst hr the magazine.

Smoking in Japan.

Smoking Is so common In Japan that nil men and most women smoke, the girls 1 loginning when they are nbout 10 years of age. The women have pipes with longer stems than the men, and, If one of them wishes to show a gentleman a special mark of favor, she lights her pipe, takes a whiff, hands it to him and lets him smoke.

Heat of Comets.

As fur as calculations can decide, the temperature of comets is belteved to be 2,000 times fiercer than that of a red-hot Iron. The real proof of the puddiug Is In the possession thereof.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

How the Glass Trust Pinch;*. The extortions of the glass trust have become so unbearable under the cover high duties Imposed by the tariff upon Imported glass that the dealers in paints and glass have been driven Into open revolt. There is no remedy for consumers except to drive the trust from under its tariff shelter. The dealers know precisely what pinches them and they have resolved to carry their grieyanc. l to the door of Congress. Congress can reduce the tax on glass without reducing the surplus In the treasury a dollar. But a remission of the tax or Its reduction to a reveuue basis would save millions of dollars to taxpayers.— Philadelphia Record. Which Is the Better Republican? Benjamin Harrison is out of office and looks at things calmly and judicially— His pre-cleetiou statement that he regarded the administration’s coloulal policy as “a serious departure from right principles’’ has been followed by a post-election declaration against the ship subsidy bill. The question naturally arises as to which is the better Republican William McKinley or Benjamin Harrison? If the latter instead of the former were now President it would be certain that the colonial policy would not be what it is, nor would a ship subsidy bill be pending, with excellent chances of success.—Des Moines Leader. I et the Truth Be Told Now. Now that the election Is over. It should be possible not only to discuss our serious national situation in the \ Philippines with candor, but also to get at and recognize the real facts of it. There has been monstrous perversion somewhere. Now that all the partisan ends desired have beeu achieved, let ! light shine into the bottom of this dark well that the truth may be revealed. The people, whose business it Is. have a right to understand all that is involved iu this enterprise of the United States.—Springfield, Mass., Republican. , >A One-S (let Treaty. One of the provisions of the Ila.v-Pauneefote-treaty is that should a vessel of the enemy enter the canal the United States shall not pursue until the lapse of twenty-four hours. Under this provision of the treaty the commerce of the isthmian canal might be utterly destroyed. The treaty forces the United States to relinquish all the rights of a belligerent on the caual iu time of war and opens the caual to the enemies of the United States. Better | have no canal than such a condition.— Dubuque Herald. Why Hie Trusts Prosper. That the trust should find phenomenal prosperity In the face of hostile law is chargeable to three causes: First, the nonfeasance of malfeasance of officials intrusted with the enforcement of the law; second, the inefficiency of existing legislative remedies, and, third, and, perhaps, chief of all, the maintenance of ether laws and national policies which annul and give the lie to all anti trust legislation.—St. Paul Globe. Standard Oil** Ohio Victory. The decision of the Ohio Supreme Court that the Standard Oil trust of Ohio is not a trust is another of those decisions that cause a loss of popular Confidence in courts. The case lias been allowed to drag along for three years, during which an anti trust Supreme Judge has been defeated for renomination, and now the case goes off under an equal division of the court—thro to three.—lndianapolis Sentinel. I'nb a Makcehlft'Pollcy. Republican high protection makes unnatural trade conditions. The attempt of Republicans to remedy evils resulting fn.ni wrong legislation by additional legislation is a makeshift policy. Trusts are to a preponderating degree due to the same tariff laws which keep down the American merchant marine. A thorough reform of the tariff laws would help the United States In a number of ways—St. Louis Republic. The Hl* We Have Amteieil. It is less fsr the morals of our owu country than “in respect of other portions of die globe to whlrh-our dominion has fmenr extebded" that'ex-Senntor Edmijuds thinks it well to have a constitutional inhibition of polygamy. His contention is evidently aimed at our subsidized subject, the Sultan of Sulu, but it shows what ills we knew not of we have rushed into.—Philadelphia Ledger. There !• No Disagreem;nt. Mr. McKinley Is quite sure that Congress will effect proper legislation on the trust question, in this opinion the trusts and Mr. McKinley are in hearty accord. The trusts are confident that they will get Just the kind of legislation they paid for.—Omaha World-Her-ald. The Foreigner and the Tax. The foreigner pays the tax. presumably, when American steel rail* are sold In England and Norway for less than they are sold in this country, but It complicates the explanation somewhat. —Sioux City Tribune. Thfe Ship SnTrTlrty Bill. These two facts condemn the subsidy grab: 1. Our shipyards have for some time been worked at their full capacity without any subsidy. 2. Steel ships can be built cheaper here than anywhere r’/e; our uillla have Just sent a

large quantity of steel plates to Europe to be used In foreign shipyards.—New York World. A little of the recklessness of Mark Hanna In pushing the ship-subsidy bill may be attributed to the fact that he well understands that he has made his last political fight; Whei McKinley retires from office the power of Hanna will go with him, and nobody understands this better than Hanna himself. —lndianapolis Press. There is no doubt that there Is a strong sentiment among the people in favor of having their ocean-carrying trade done in ships which are owned by Americans and which carry the American flag. It is not believed, however, that the ship-subsidy bill would accomplish that object If It should become a law. It would bring about the building of a few swift steamers and that Is all it would do.—Savannah News. It (the ship subsidy) Is at the very best only a waste of the public money. At Its worst it Is diverting public money for private profit. Neither the owners nor the builders of ships have the sligh|cst claim to contributions from their fellow citizens. A direct subsidy on wheat raised and exported or on steel and Iron or on buildings would be just as excusable and less liable to abuse. Every end sought that It is legitimate to seek, iu the subsidy scheme," can be reached through the opening of the ship markets of the world to Americans wishing to buy ships.—New York Times. Trusts have been heretofore strong enough to fasten themselves on the people without aid from the government. All they have asked was to be let alone. Now the ship trust wants to be supported out of the taxpayers’ pockets. That is the most audacious scheme of all. This subsidy grab has beeu ou hand for three years, and has heretofore been defeated iu all its attempts to fasten Itself on the people. Now, however, It seems to have prospect of success and its powerful promoters will doubtless use pressure enough to defeat other appropriations, unless they can get what they want.—New Orleans rtcayune.

Jack's Growl.

The author of “From Edinburgh to the Antarctic,” writing of the sailor’s habit of grumbling, says: “The dinners are all the same; that is to say, Monday's dinners are all alike, ami what we have to-day, we shall have this day six months hence. Jack’s forefather this day a hundred years ago had the same menu, and made the same uncomplimentary remarks about the dishes; and a hundred years hence ou this day Jack’s children will growl over their salt horse and plumless duff.” The author also tells this “yarn” to illustrate that Jack’s habit of grumbling can’t be cured and must be endured: Once upon a time there lived a skipper whose wife said to him that If site went to sea the poor men would never rind fault with their ford. Her husband took her with him cu a voyage, and the good woman attended to the cooking iu the galley herself. The seouse was thick with fresh vegetables, the bread was white nud without weevils, the meat was goofi aud the duff was almost half plums; but still the men grow I < d. Then the skipper's wife thought et the luns she had brought on board to lay eggs for her husband's breakfast. She took them out of the coop, wruug their necks with her own fair hands, plucked them, roasted them, and sent them to the forecastle on the cabin china. “Now the ni“u," she said to herself, “will know how much we think of their comfort." At eight bells she stole forward to the forescuttle to listen to the praise of her skill as a cook. She looked down the hatch, and saw a b!g, black list plunge a fork info the hen, and heard a hoarse voice growl, “I say. Bill, what d’ye think this 'o:e bloody foVvl died of?’’

A Domestic Monkey.

A lady tells of a monkey which she saw while in Parlf* Meeting him suddenly ou the stairs one day. lie stood in the comer to allow her to pass, and when she sahl "Good morning” he took off his cap and bowed. “Are you gong away?” she asked. "Where Is your pa-sport?" Pulling off Ills cap. he took from the crown a paper, opened it, and showed It to her. When some ouq.observed that her dies* was dusty, the fburteous monkey took a brush from the table and carefully brushed her dress and then her shoes.' When food wns given him he always made a low bow before taking it, and then ale it slowly and daintily. He had been taught to eat eggs with a spoon, and to use a knife and fork. He could lock nud unlock a drawer, thread a needle, uncork a bottle, and polish tils master's shoes. He"' seemed to take great pleasure In gay company, and from the apparent attention he paid to the conversation, looking in turn ateachspcakor.lt wasnlmost impossible to believe that lie did not understand what wns being said. This marvelous monkey wns never put on public exhibition, and died at an early age of pneumon n. Just like a human being. y , Vermont continues to lie a rurml State. It Is the only State In the North that does not contain a city with a population of 23,000 or more.
