The following out shown the outlines of a feed rack in use fora number of years not only for corn fodder, but for hay, straw, ensilage, meal, earn and in fact for every kind of food. It is a com- bination rack, has a tight bottom and will hold hay and grain at the same time. The drawing does not by any means show the rack complete. A cor- respondent of Prairie Farmer, who fur- nished the original drawing,, describes the rack as follows: The rack is 5 feet wide and may be made any length desired. I built mine, however, 12 feet long, as they are more easily moved than if made longer. The posts. are 4 by 4 and 6 feet long; the slats that hold the fodder, 4 inches wide AN EXCELLENT FEED RACK. and 8 feet long; tie space between the slats is just 4 inches. A 2 by 4 is spiked on top of the posts and another is placed through the center at the bottom. To these the slats are nailed. The bottom is made of fencing and a 6 inch•board is put around outside to hold ensilage, grain, etc. The rack is not expensive to build and is strong and durable. It can be used in sheds or half of the rack may be placed around the outside of stable. I use these racks in yard, and around the outside use half, allowing tight board fence to farm the backof the rack. It is the best rack for feeding whole corn fodder I ever saw. I throw in bun- dles of fodder, reach through between the slats with a jackknife and out the strings. The stock cannot pull the stalks out and scatter them about the yard, as is the case with low down, open racks. Every bit of foliage will be pulled off, not a particle of waste beyond the bare stalks. Whenever necessary, clean out the stalks, place them in a pile some- where—mixing manure with them—to rot. We aro about to make a rack similar to this for sheep. It will belower, of course, and not so wide, and the slats will be placed straight up and clown to avoid any litter falling into the wool. A 2 by 4 board, or fence board, will be nailed on to keep the sheep from getting into the rack with the fore feet. Storing Beets In Pits. 'Waldo F. Brown, one of Ohio's pro- gressive farmers, writing to The Na- tional Stockman and Farmer, says: In pitting beets I prefer to cover them with earth without any straw over them and then keep the frost out by a covering of horse manure on the outside fo the pit when the ground freezes. When the earth is put on the beets, it is wise to have ventilators in the top, which can be made by nailing four pieces of board togother so as to make, chimneys six or eight inches square, and letting; "iem extend down a foot or more into the beet pile. To prevent thio rain from getting in through the ven- tilators let the boards on two sides l,o six inches shorter than the others and sate the sop sloping and nail a roof board over it. a `Iho (export live slack season in Mont- real lvns one of the worst oil recol•d for the shippers, The Mel(illoo Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Farm and Isolated Town Proper- ty only Insured, nPrlr'h:aa.

Elints of a Practical Nature From a )Ran• "" Farther. A Kansas farmer, writing from Ne- inaha county to the Ohio Farmer, tells how husking corn is done in his section. He says: 116i husking shooki coin we -use light trestles made of 1 by 4 stuff throughout. TRi,STLE FOR HUSKING CORN. made at first ade them 8 feet long; but, finding them too short, we spliced two feet on to each end, as shown in the so- companying illustration. We find they are much better with the ends turned up in this way than straight. Trestles 12 feet long will hold a large shook without piling it very high. As soon as enough is husked to make a bundle we tie it with binder twine doubled. The second illustration shows how we make our bands—just loop the twine around a piece of cornstalk or corncob. In tying pass cob over bundle and grasp below with left hand. Grasp free end of band with right hand, draw up tight and simply wrap free end a few times around band close to cob. Every husker knows what sore bands are. Wrapping wAh-a waxed end is the best treatment I ever found for cracks on the fingers. Some wear leather husk- ing gloves, but they are expensive and bungling and the rivets are liable to make the bands sore. Here at the west nearly every husker wears snugly fit- ting mittens made of extra heavy cot- ton flannel. So great is the demand thlt many of our merchants get a bolt of the required weight of cloth in the fall now TO MADE BANDS. on purpose for husking mittens. The end of the husking peg runs through the cloth. Some pegs can be worn over the mitten. With a good pattern and sewing machine one can easily make three or four pairs in an evening. By changing them a pair should wear about two days. Alight coating of tar, follow- ed by rubbing tbem in dry dirt occa- sionally, will' make them wear longer in dry weather. Plowing Under Timothy. Every farmer ought to know that a timothy sod, especially 1, 2 or 3 years old, contains little nutriment, and the crop from it when plowed under is not satisfactory, The reason is thus explain- ed by American Culivator: The timothy roots run near the sur- face, exhausting that of plant food, while the soil beneath lies cold and un - reached by roots or by the air which generally follows root growth. We once saw a farmer plowing a crop of timothy grass 'that would out 1 Y,' tons per acro as a preparation for wheat sowing. He bad no clover to plow under, and though the timothy hay then readily brought $16 to $18 per ton hennas sacrificing his hay crop to make sure of a wheat crop next season. And after all he did not get the wheat crop that he expected. The timothy grass rotted late in the fall, leaving the land so light that it filled with water when winter came on. Most of the wheat crop following tim- othy plowed under was winter killed. He would have got as good a wheat crop and possibly better had he cut the timotby for hay and plowed only the sod for the wheat crop. Protection Against Frost. It has been notioed that the liberal ap- plication of potash°fertilizers, especially tho crude, salts, lessens to a certain ex- tent tbo injuries which .the crop may suffer from frost. This is an item of considerable importance, especially in the ease of tobacco, which is often greatly injured by frost in the early au- tumn. The cause of the protection which kainit, for instance, offers to plants against frost is found in two sources. In the first place, on account of the hygroscopic nature of the salt the mois- turo of tiro soil is more securely held and there is a less rnpid evaporation. One of the. prime conditions of the formation of frost is a rapid evaporation and con- sennent cooling of the surface of the soil. Anything which prevents this, of course, tends to dilniuish thb intensity tf tho frost. In the second carBe, the presence of a potash fertilizer produces a mono lnxbriant vegetation, and thus lwvuros a milro perfect cover of the soil,ff affording in this nranner a less rapid evaporatiou. These two causes combiners rll 1111doubtey bavn a tendency to dimin- ish the dimgcr from frost to which a crop may be expu.,•c� d. Rourn.l Tolepbones.

An Illinois farmer, being desirous of possessing a root cellar for keeping maugel wurzels and other roots for the winter feeding of stock, applied to Country Gentlemad for advice. He wanted an inexpensive arrangement and one that required no skilled labor in its construction. Following are the j suggestions elicited: Dig a hole 4 to. 8 feet wide and as long as may be necessary to con- tain the roots; preferably it should be dug into a hill or rather in ground which slopes moderately. The sides should depart about 10 degrees from the perpendicular. Lay two or three planks against the walls. Rear as many posts as may be necessary. They should be from two to four feet apart. Put on heavy pole rafters wherever there is a post. Cover the roof with planks and boards and cover with earth.

What Is a Good Sugar Beet? •In reply to the query, "What is a good sugar boot?" G. W. Shaw of the Oregon station says: -Macy farmers have a wrong idea as to what constitutes a good beet for sug- ar purposes, Contrary to a popular idea which is quite extant in the state, the beet should be small, with a large leafy top.
