The accompanying sketch allows one method of construction for a ratproof crib and granary which Is to be separate and apart from other buildings. The wire cloth or metal lath should have no meshes wider than one-fourth to three-eighths inch. Either slats or boards may be nailed outside the lath. The metal strip prevents the rodents from climbing higher than the metal lath. Care must be taken to see that no openings are left around the doors large enough to admit mice, writes F. W. Ives In Ohio Farmer. If a one-story structure Is desired, a building 18 feet square and 10 feet high to the plate will hold 500 bush-

Same Old Lectures. On a certain occasion Pro'' Jor Brander Matthews of Columb university, .speaking jokingly of his age, gaid he trusted that he was not so old that the students could play on him the trick he once saw tried on a senior professor in his own college days. "Professor Blank," he said, "was our most venerable Instructor, and he could be just a little irritable at times. Once, noticing that a member of his class who sat right under his eye never took any notes or paid the slightest attention to his lectures, he stopped abruptly and demanded : " 'See here, young man, what do you mean by coming into my classroom day after day and never taking notes?' "'I have iny father's,' was the student's complacent reply." Youth's Companion.

SPREAD BEAN RUST ON VINES
Wisconsin Plant Disease Specialist of Wisconsin College Gives Some Timely Advice.
"Farmers who understand conditions in the spread of bean rust or anthracnose, as it is termed, never cultivate or walk through the field while the vines are wet with rain or dew." This is the information given by B. E. Vaughan, plant disease specialist at the College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin. When the bean plants are dry there is less danger of brushing off the tiny spores which spread the disease. The bean anthracnose, in common with one or two other spot diseases of garden beans, is most successfully controlled by careful selection of healthy seed. Owing to the greatly increased acreage of beans in Wisconsin this year it Is highly important that growers become familiar with conditions which affect the crop. Spraying is of little value in controlling the disease under field conditions.
What Ailed Smith. A plainly dressed man, who intro
duced himself as Mi. John Smith, walked Into a doctor's office In a Texas
town, and, having explained his symptoms, asked the doctor how long it would take to cure him. The doctor, who had treated the visitor with every
possible courtesy, replied:
"You will require careful treatment
under my personal supervision tor about two months before you are able
to resume your labors in the bank."
"Doctor, you are fooling yourself. I
am not Smith the banker, but Smith, the street car driver."

The early crops are removed In time
for late ones and by practicing suc
cessive planting a supply of fresh vege
tables can be had all summer and into the late fall. Sweet corn, string beans,
beets, turnips, tomatoes, squash, pump
kins, late cabbage, cucumbers, winter
onions, fall lettuce, radishes, spinach, are some of the crops that can be
planted after the early things are out
of the way. Sometimes It is practica

the latter crops are used up the former will have made a good start. By
following intensive methods and suc
