REPOSITORY FOR SEED CORN
Details of Rack That la Mouse-

Here Is a very useful rack for sav
ing and drying seed corn. To make
It, take two pieces of 2x6. 4 feet long.
for the bed pieces, and two pieces of
3x4, 6 feet long, for the upright posts.
Gain tho posts on to the bed pieces
and bolt and nail them securely, says
the tarm and Home. Then take two
bIx quart milk pans and place the end
of the post In the center of the pan
anil murk It.
Cut two slits cornerwlse across the
place marked on the pan, turn up the
points and slide the pan down over
the post to a point 20 Inches from the
bottom and nail It to the posts. Now
take 1x12 Inch hardwood boards of
whatever length you wish to make
the rack and nail them to the posts
1!4 inches apart.
With a pair of dividers set to 2
Inches, commence at one end 4 Inch

the boarding. Space up the same on
the other snd and with a chalk line
strike lines from end to end.
Then set the dividers at lVi Inches,
and commencing M Inch from the In
side of the post space lengthwise on
top and bottom of boarding. With a
straightedge or chalk line make per
pendicular lines. With a 11-64 bit or
drill bore a hole at each Intersection,
and drive 20d spikes from both ways
as Illustrated. This will give a 3-inch
circle for each ear of corn.
If you cannot get a lxl2-lnch hard
wood boards for this purpose, get 2x
12 plank and use 30d spikes. A
space 2'-4 feot square, using both
sides of the rack, will hold a bushel
of corn. The rows at the bottom cr
the cut show the heads of the spikes.
This rack Is mouse-proof and as each

Improving the Farm.
A farmer may not seem to be add
ing to his bank account at all these
hard times, but so long as his farm
Is Improving he Is all right A man
who starts with a common farm and
ends with a good one has made a
success, and a good farm will carry

years of life.
Bees and
Form Notes
Cut the silage into one half Inch
pieces.
Distribute thoroughly la alio and
pack well.
Kep bees at any rate. They are
no trouble.
Corn cut too early makes tour, wa
tery silage.
Cut corn for silage when kernels
begin to glaze.
Good farming Is Impossible with

A little wet straw with oata sown on
it senls the silo effectively.
The Improvement and utlllxatlon of

Watch your machinery for loose
bolts and nuts, and don't forget the
oil can.
Parbed wire fences are not worth

Soldiers Dead and Dying on All Sides
of Constantinople
Conatantinople There are more
than 1000 cases of cholera daily in and
around Constantinople, and the death
rate has reached CO per cent. The au
thorities are powerless to cope with
the situation.
On Thursday last 3000 cholera pa
tients arrived by train at San Stefano.
For 24 hours the patients remained in
the train on a siding, without wster,
foc or medical attendance. Then
they were shipped to the quarantine
station. If they had been lower ani
mals, they could not have been more
neglected.
A foreign doctor assisting in the
military hospital discovered by acci
dent that five soldiers dying of cholera
had been placed among the wounded,
lie ordered their removal. Bearers
took up the dying men on their shoul
ders, but their condition was such that
the doctor ordered the bearers to drop
them.
This they did, and the unfortunates
were left lying in the mud for an
hour, groaning and in convulsions,
before they were removed on stretch
ers. An extraordinary feature of condi
tions behind the Turkish lines at Tcha
talja is the indifference. The foreign
er wearing either fez or an European
hat may hire a vehicle and drive to
the Turkish entrenchments and in'
spect the troops. There appears to be
no cordon to prevent fugitives from
returning to Constantinople.
Innumerable sick lie groaning in
the fields to the rear, some of them in
their last agonies. Countless cholera
infee'ed fugitives are struggling on
the fan-Bhaped roads converging on
Hadmekeui from the outer forts.
Thousands of patients and hundreds of
dead lie on the ground near Hadme
kuei. At Derkos like, the chief source of
Constantinople's water supply, there
was a guard of Boldiers, but 12 of
them died and IS others were stricken
with cholera. There is great fear
that the whole watershed will be con
taminated, involving Constantinople
in the gravest danger. Three physi
cians at Derkos have been unable to
de more than bury the dead. Turkish
officers regard further resistance at
Tchatalja as impossible, but think it
is equally impossible 'for the Bulgar
ians to occupy the Turkish positions
without endangering the whole Bul
garian army through cholera.
TARIFF FIGHT IN PROSPECT.
Osmocratic Leader and Committee to
Begin Work Early.
Washington, D. C. Assurance that
there will be an extra session of con
gress to revise the tariff having stirred
Democratic Leader Underwood to ar
range for sessions of the ways and
means committee beginning early in
January, it is assured that the com
mittee will have a good lead on con
gress, and by the time the special ses
sion convenes he will be able to report
five or six schedules, and report others
as fast as the senate can dispose of
them. There may be some slight
changes in the wool, steel, sugar and
chemical bills, as compared to the
bills passed by the house last session,
but the opinion is general that those
four measures, as passed by the next
house, will be substantially the bills
which received the Democratic stamp
of approval in the present house of
representatives.
Tropical Fruit Hard Hit.
Kingston, Jamaica There have
been almost unprecedented rains here
continuously for the past nine days,
and they are Btill continuing. There
was five days of north and high south
east winds, both of which destroyed
25 per cent of the fruit crop. Roads
have been blocked and shipping on the
railway has been tied op. The city of
Kingston is completely cut off from
the rest of the island, which, accord
ing to report, was struck by a hurri
cane. Next season's fruit crop will
be an exceedingly small one. United
r'ruit company interests have been
heavy losers.
Tobacco Trust Really Dissolved.
New York Whatever others may
think of the decree of the United
States court dissolving the tobacco
trust, the former members of the trust
themselves are convinced that the de
cree actually dissolved the trust and
restored competition. It is now a
year since the decree was issued by
Judge Noyes, and Percival S. Hill,
president of the American Tobacco
company, takes occasion to issue a
statement telling the effect of the de
cree as seen in that year. He calls
the decree drastic and radical.
Predicts New Political Era.
San Francisco "There will be only
two political parties in this country.
They will be the Radical and the Con
servative parties. The old parties
the Democratic and the Republican
will disappear." This was the politi
cal prediction made by William Flinn,
"Boss" Flinn. of Fittsburg, major
domo of the Roosevelt Progressive
party, and militant supporter of the
cause of Roosevelt. Flinn is not in
San Fancisco on a political mission.
The linking of his name with that of
Senator Bourne, is a mistake, he says.
300 Turks In Prison Killed.
Athens The explosion of a Turkish
powder magazine at Salonikl did im
mense execution several days ago.
The magazine was close to the cavalry
barracks where many Turkish prison
ers were confined. Three hundred
Turks were killed and 430 wounded.
The Greek authorities have made a
careful investigation, and the explo
sion is believed to have been the work
of a Bulgarian band as revenge upon
the Turks.
Government to Exterminate Rebels.
Mexico City That the Mexican
government is determined to carry out
the threat to resume the taetica so
successfully employed by General
Robles in the state of Morelos some
montha ago is indicated by the report
of the- War department announcing
the total destruction of several small
towns and villages in the northern
part of Oaxaca, where the revolution
ha been rampant.
WILSON TO CALL
EXTRA SESSION
Put An End to Easiness Uncer
tainty Soon as Possible.
Date Will Be Not Later Than April
15 Revision of Tariff to Be
Principal Question.
New York Governor Wilson an
nounced that immediately after bis
inauguration as president of the Unit
ed States he would call an extraordi
nary session of congress to convene
not later than April 15 for the purpose
of revising the tariff.
The president-elect tailed'for Ber
muda at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon
for a vacation and will return Decem
ber 16. To set at rest speculation as
to what he would do with regard to
tariff revision, he issued the following
statement:
"I shall call congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April 15. I shall do this not only be
cause I think that the pledges of the
party ought to De redeemed as
promptly as possible, but also because
1 know it to be in the interest of bust
ness that all uncertainty as to what
the particular items of tariff revision
are to be should be removed as soon as
possible."
HALF BILLION INVOLVED.
ARMISTICE DELAYED,
Suit Begins to Quiet Title to Califor
nia Oil Lands.
Washington, D. C Title to West
ern oil lands valued at the stupendous
figure of $500,000,000 is said to de
pend upon the outcome of the legal
controversy which opened in earnest
Saturday before the Supreme court of
the United States. Edmund Burke
filed before the court his printed argu
ment in favor of a claim to a portion
of the land in controversy, scathingly
arraigning the Southern Pacific Rail
way company, also fighting -for the
property. The case will be argued
orally January 6. The land in contro
versy in this particular case is in the
oil fields of Southern California, The
Southern Pacific claims it under the
land-grant act and Interior department
patents which contained the provision
"excluding and excepting all mineral
lands, should any such be found in the
tract."
The validity and effect of this ex
ception is receiving unusual attention
because of its having been included in
the land grants to other railroads for
decade after decade. Mr. Burke con
tends that all oil land is mineral land.
According to the brief filed the inter
pretation of the exception would de
termine the Southern Pacific's claim
to oil land worth more than the entire
road itself.
Fruit Union is Assured.
Spokane, Wash. The first definite
step toward effecting a permanent or
ganization of fruitgrowers in Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and Washington with
a view to marketing fruit through a
common channel was taken here with
the adoption of a resolution by repre
sentative fruitgrowers, bankers, rail
road traffic men and others at a ban
quet tendered by the management of
the apple show here.
The resolution calls for a convention
ef delegates, one from each fruit dis
trict in the states named to be held in
Spokane December 16.
The resolution, which was adopted
unanimously, was introduced by N. C.
Richards, representing the Yakima
Fruitgrowers' association and was the
result of a private conference of fruit
growers. Taft Favors Free Tolls.
Washington, D. C. President Taft
told official visitors he did not expect
to recommend to congress the repeal
of the free toll provision made in the
Panama canal bill last summer for
American coastwise vessels. A second
portion of the report of Professor
Johnson, the expert upon whose inves
tigation the president based his recent
proclamation of tolls, contains strong
recommendation againsst free tolls for
American ships. Professor Johnson's
report did not discuss the diplomatic
aspect of the canal toll measure.
Border Bullets Find 23.
Washington, D. C. Twenty-three
persons at least were killed or wound
ed badly on the American side of the
Mexican boundary last year by bullets
fired during the fighting between the
rebels and government forces under
Madero. This fact was developed by
the special army board, beaded by
Colonel Francis Kernan, which has
just returned from an inspection trip
to El Paso, Tex., and Douglas, Ariz.,
where most of the trouble occurred.
The board said that other persons.
many of them Mexicans, were injured.
Powers Approach Allies.
Paris An official note issued by the
diplomatic corps says the ministers of
the powers have approached the vari
ous Balkan states with the view to
mediation and that the foreign minis
ters of the allies replied that they
would refer the suggestion to their
governments. The Montenegrin min
ister added that his government con
sidered itself unable to consent to an
armistice except on condition that the
Turks surrender Scutari.
St. Lawrence Is Tied Up
Montreal The storm which has
raged throughout Quebec Province the
past 24 hours has effectually tied op
navigation on the St Lawrence. The
suspension of activity tn the local har
bor comes at a time when the lake
steamers are pouring in huge cargoes
or grain, wnicn ii not quickly export
ed will cause a congestion.
Striker Attack Train.
Charleston, W. Va. Striking min
ers attacked a passenger train on the
Cabin Creek branch of the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad. The miners stopped
the train and refused to allow it to
proceed because two carloads of al
leged strikebreakers were attached.
Turks Talk at Severity of Terms Cf
trred By Bulgarians.
London Difficulty has arisen over
th terms of the armistice requested
by Turkey of Imlgana. As a conse
quence no armistice has yet been con
cluded. It is said that Bulgaria demands the
evacuation of Adrianople, Scutari and
MonaMtir as a condition of agreeing to
an armistice.
Negotiations, however, continue.
The censorship is again exceedingly
severe and it is '.difficult to arrive at
any correct idea of the military posi
tion. The fall of Adrianople is rumored
from both Servian and Turkish sourc
es, but this still is unconfirmed. An
other report says the Bulgarians have
occupied Hademekeune, 21 miles from
Constantinople. It this is true, it is
an important capture, as that town is
Nazim I'anha's headquarters.
With regard to other points, an im
provement in the weather has per
mitted the resumption of the Monte
negrin attacks against the Turkish po
sitions around Scutari with some suc
cess. A battle is imminent at Monas
tir, where the garriion has endeavored
to make terms for its surrender, but
imposed conditions which the Servian
crown prince was unable to grant.
Should an attack be made, the
Turks are not expected to offer strong
resistance to the combined Servian
and Greek armies and it is likely to
fall.
The Greeks continue their advance
toward Janina. Tbey have taken
Metzovo, a few miles to the northeast.
A report through Bucharest placed
the Bulgarian losses in the war at a
far greater figure than had been esti
mated. According to this report the
killed and woundej number between
60,000 and 80,000 out of a total of
320,000 men and it is pointed out that
after allowance is made for holding
the line of communication only 185,
000 live men are left for fighting.
CURRENT EVENTS
OF THE WEEK
Doings of the World at L&rp
Told in Brief:
AEROPLANE'S VALUE PROVED
Accuracy of Artillery Fire Made Pos
sible By Aviators.
London The great value of aero
planes in war has been proved by the
Bulgarian army, not only in recon
naissance work, but for fire control.
That the murderous accuracy of the
Bulgarian artillery was due, in a
measure, the the activity of the air
men is demonstrated in letters re
ceived from the front.
Any attempt by war correspondents
to telegraph news of the employment
of flying machines by the Bulgarians
during the operations has met severe
censorship, but stories beginning to
filter through show that remarkably
effective work has been done by the
aeroplanes.
Percival Phillipps, special corres
pondent of the London Express, sends
a picturesque description of the flight
of a biplane over the Bulgarian army
and the beleaguered city of Adrian
ople. He writes:
"The first long reconnaissance took
place on the Tuesday following the oc
cupation of Mustapba Pasha. A mil
itary biplane winged its way confi
dently toward the rising sun, making
a wide detour above the troops, who
were full of enthusiasm regarding this
new and wonderful sight. Subse
quently flights were made under excel
lent conditions, there being no wind.
"From the little cockpit the trained
observer, with maps and glasses, sur
veyed the wonderful panorama of war.
Between Mustapha Pasha and Adria
nople the country is a corrugated
series of hills and valleys, effectually
shutting from us here any glimpse
eiiherofthe enemy or of our first
line. To the aerial scouts, however,
these hills were no more lhan a row of
insignificant ridges cut by the broad
valley of the winding Maritza, with
a crooked yellow ribbon, the great
Constantinople road, as the most pro
nounced landmark."
Nicaragua Is at Peace.
Washington, D. C. Restoration of
the church and schools of San Francis
co, in Granada, Nicaragua, to their
former uses, as reported by American
Minister Weitzel, indicated to the
State department that the country
had returned to peaceable pursuits af
ter the recent revolution. Minister
Weitzel also reported that the presi
dent of Nicaragua had directed that
all arms and ammunition be deposited
in Managua. American marines have
been requested to supervise the fulfill
ment of the order.
Pulmotor Revives Life.
Washington. D. C. Although his
pulse virtually hod stopped, Werher
L. Hoffman was drawn back from the
grave by use of the pulmotor and phy
sicians in a local hospital believe he
will live. Hoffman, a former member
of the marine corps and with an en
viable service record in China and the
Philippines, has been ill for some time
because of fevers contracted in the
Orient. Despondent, he is said to
have taken 15 grains of a virulent
poison. When rushed to the hospital
he apparently was dead.
Schrank Dangerous to Public.
Milwaukee. Wis. One of thn alipn.
ists examing John Schrank, the con
fp4spil fiNanilfint nf Theodora Rnnm.
velt. said privately that Schrank
shows evidences that he considers
himself a deep student of psychology;
that he thinks he is ranable of arliont.
ing any wrong and that he thinks he is
peculiarly fitted to judge of the psy
chological merit of a question affect
ing the public. Hence, the alienist
said, he may again become dangerous.
Virginia Wants First Post Road.
Washington, D. C. Senator Martin
and Representative Carlin. from Vir
ginia, urged President Taft to use his
influence to expend $500,000 granted
by congress for experimental postal
roads on a highway from Washington
to Mount Vernon.
Democrat Defeats Longworth,
Cincinnati The official count in
