The great lost oauaed by rata and
mice when grain i stored, m u cus
tomary on many fanqav In grain bins lo
cated in the barn or wagon house it a
subject of remark by a writer in Ohio
Farmer. Referring to such bins, he says:
I never have aeen a bin which was

peats. If lined with tin, (hey might
probably be kept out, bat this would be

tory. The ordinary oornorib is also a
harbor for rats and mice. I am pretty
well oonvinoed that In the space of a
few years they will destroy grain enough
to nay for a good granary.
When I moved to my present place, I
found Just snoh arrangements for stor
ing grain namely, a corner op stairs
in the horse barn shnt off for oats and
an old fashioned crib outdoors. Mice
had free swing in both of these and de
stroyed many dollars' .worth- of grain
every year. As soon as I could get to
it I built a plaoe for grain whioh pleases
me very much. , ,
The timbers are 8 by 8, of hard wood
throughout. The posts rest on largo
stones. Four feet from the ground the
sills are framed into the posts. Af one
end the tenon of the sill enters the post,
while on the other end the poet and sill
are "halved" together, allowing the sill
to ran by the post 18inohea.Tbe plates

between tbem to admits the air. Inside
an alley run"tbe whole length .of the
granary, allowing one to reach the oorn
orib and the grain bins on either side.
Scantlings pf 9 by 4 staff ran from
the beam in tha front end to that at the
rear. Under this, at regular Intervals,
are set posts of the' same "Size. - From
these posts boards of planed material
ran to the outside wan, lormiug roe
sides of the bins. -The end next to the
alleyway Is made of planed boards
which may be taken oat easily as need'
ed. The entire interior is ceiled with
three-eighths pine. Overhead boards
may be pat down for surplus corn it
needed. The tops of the posts nearest
to the floor are tinned to keep mioe
from climbing tip them. The building
Is sided with hemlock boards and all
fainted red with trlmminas oi white.

i Where these crops are intended for
stock feed leave lu tho ground until
there is reason to expect heavy frosts.
Those varieties which grow with a large
part of the root above ground - can be-
easily polled by hand. Other kinds can
be lifted with machines made especial
ly for this purpose, if the crops are
grown on a large sosle. These imple
ments are provided with two, shoes
which ran several inches beneath the
surface of the ground and loosen the
roots so that they can be pulled out
with but little effort. If It is not advis
able to get a lifter, plow a deep farrow
along one aide of the row oloae to the
roots. They oan then be removed easily
and plaoed in piles. Topping may 4m

CROSS BREEDING POULTRY.
If a oh Xata rally Dapaads TJpoa Waal the

. If your market oalls for yellow poul
try, yon must not select stock that does
not produce chickens having yellow
skin and legs. The pin feathers of the
dark plumaged birds are also objection
able. Some dark breeds when mated
with white breeds produce white or
very light ohiokens. White' and buff
fowls are to bo preferred. If you are to
raise brown eggs, yon must not keep
pure breeds of the nonsitting voriotlea
You may cross them- with the breeds
that lay brown eggs and got excellent
stock that produce brown eggs. If yon
aro to keep your stock pure, yon have
from whioh to choose White and Buff
Wyandottes and White Plymouth
Books, whioh have no feathers on their
legs, and Light Brsbmas . and Buff
Cochins, which do have feathers on
their legs. Tbey also make exoellent
yellow poultry. If yon cross for brown
eggs, mate White Leghorns or Buff
Cochins rather tban with Wyandottes
or Plymouth Bocks, as the results will
be better. .
If you cross for flesh production, mate
oompaot, yellow logged gamos, white or
light colored bird- preferred, with any
of tbe foregoing, or stocky Wyandottes
or Plymouth Rooks with the Light
Brahmas or Buff Cochins. Both Cornish
and Indian games, which are slow
grower, and Uoudans, whioh are quick
growers; have full flesh development,
but dark plumage, and may bo mated
with Light Brahmas and Buff Cochins
and Wyandottes with good results,
Tbe best purer breds for white eggs
where yellow poultry is a consideration
are White Leghorns (large strain) and
White . Plymouth ' Books (white egg
strain). If yon cross for white eggs, try
the White Minorca-White Leghorn
cross.
When dark legs and white skin are
not objected to, keep Black Minorca
for large, white eggs, and Black Lang
shans, which are hardy, for doep brown
eggs. A Black Minoroa-Langsban cross
Is probably the best cross for egg pro-
id notion if size and number of eggs and
hardiness only ar oonsidorod. Boa-
dans are for flesh. Indian games and
Dorking cocks may be crossed on Lang-
shans with good result if your market
does not require yellow poultry. Sam

So called chicken cholera investiga
tion will often prove is but an extensive
development of .vermin. The healthy
ben is free from vermin. Almost invari
ably other ailments, except, of oourse, i
ooJds and case of roup, are mainly dna.
to vermin. The bens that are Infested
with vermin are so debilitated that they
readily succumb to diseases, and are
also more apt to get colds and roup
than ben not Infested. It Is during
warm weather that eternal vigilance
becomes necessary to keep down insect
pests that abound whore neglect allows
them to one get a foothold. Every
known device must be utilised during
summer to keep the vermin pest of tbe
poultry yard in ebeck. Tbe first and
most important consideration will al
ways be cleanliness of the most thoo
ough nature. Wild fowl rarely ever
become idiattod with vermin to any
great degree because tbey are not con
fined to restricted Quarters in lare oolo-
nles, like domestic Yowl. Under oondl-
a- M
tlon snoh a it I neoeaaary to resort to
in keeping domastio fowls tha vermin
nest take advantage of every neglect
When the summer season arrive, which
Is so propitious for tha increase of ver
min In tbe poultry yards and bouses,
extra exertion and all known methods
must become tbe order of tb day.
Finely pulverised soil kept voder oover
will afford the fowl a cbano to in
dulge In dost baths nature's plan for
ridding birds of vermin. If some tobacco

INSURANCE !
I winli to call the attention of insurers in Alamance ounty
to the fitct that the Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
1893 by the Into firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring. ; -
There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better
facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can give low
er rates or better indemnity. Only first-class companies, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgement in my office. ' With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
jn soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisloction in every instance. - Correspondence solicited upon
all matters pertaining to insurance. '.
I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and will make
it to the interest of all who desire- protection for their families
or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit
able investment, to confer with me before giving their applica
tions to other agents.
" Very respectfully,
