Strenuous measures have been adopted by the government and by the railroads to avert a fuel famine in the West and Northwest, which is thought to be impending next winter. Howard El liott, president of the Northern Paci fic, recently wired to Commissioner Lane of the Interstate Commerce com mission, suggesting the probabil ity a fuel famine in the West and Northwest next winter that might exceed in its serious possibilities the lunune ot last winter, lie advised that every effort be made by the commission to Induce consumers to lay In supplies ot coal during the summer months, pending the move ment oi the crops in the early au tumn. Commissioner Lane immediately took up the matter with Secretaries Garfield and Ti.lt. urging that coul supplies at all depots ot the govern- nieut be put In ut as early a date as possible. ,Th subject was consid ered at the lust cabinet meeting held ueiore resident Roosevelt left Washington, and It was decided that the suggestion be adopted. Secretary Garfield wrote to Com missioner Lane, in response to a let ter which the coniml.lontr hud writ ten him on the subject, his letter containing this paragraph: I beg to acknowledge your letter of Juno 7, with the inclosure from the president of the Northern Pacific. His suggestion regarding fuel Is an admirable one. and should be acted on by the department." Commlsslouer Lane has received from B. T. Staunton, chairman of the railroad commission of Montana. a circular which the commission has issued respecting an Investigates into the subject of the oal supply now in sight and to be available (or the use of citizens ot Montana dur lng the winter months ot 1907 and 1908. The inquiry shows that a coal shortage exceeding that of the past winter is not only possible, but prob able, unless steps are taken to avert It, and the commission advises the people to put in their supplies of coa at I be earliest possible date. Commissioner Lane has been ad vised that the city of Los Angeles Cal., has made arrangements to put In a full supply of coal during the early summer months, and ho hn learned that the railroads ot the Wont and Northwest are placing at their various supply depots all th coal they can store conveniently.

Where stone or brick can be obtained readily these materials will have the prefereuoe. Concrete silos are the most durable and all things considered may be fhe cheapest In the end If cement and gravel or cobble atones are near at hand. Round silos give the greatest ra pacify for the wall space and In the case of wood construction, lighter ma terlnl can be used.

There should be a substautlnl ma soiiry foundation for all forms of wood silos to bring the woodwork every' where at least 12 Inches above the earth. The bottom of the silo msy be 3 feet or more below the feeding floor of the stable so that 4 to 0 feet of stone, brick or concrete wall may be counted on. For a silo 30 feet deep a foundation wall of stone should be 18 Inches to 2 feet thick. Tamp the ground forming the bot tom of the alio, so that it will be solid snd then cover, with two or three Inches of good concrete. This Is ad visable because clay soil will sioil the silage If permitted to rest on It In case the wood portion of the silo rises 24 or more feet above the stone work and the diameter Is more than IS feet. It will be best to stay the top of the wall In some way. If the woodwork rises from the outer edge of the wall. then building the wall up with cemenf so as to cover the sill will give the needed strength, because the woodwork will act as a hoop: but If the silo standa at the inner face of the wall It will be best to lay pieces of Iron rod In the wall near the top to act as a hoop. The studding of the all-wood round silo need not be larger than 2 Inches by 4 Inches, unless the dlaimter Is to ex ceed 30 feet, but tbey should be set as close together ss one foo'. from center to renter.

In the case of weeds the slightest amount of labor saved In omitting to kill tliem when It should be dune entails greater labor at other times. Nor is sll labor on weed lost, liuring tlie eradication or de struction of weeds the regular crop may be cultivated and tbo laud put In better condition. One of the greatest uiixtakes Is In not destroying the weed when they first apitenr. it will require less labor to destroy a hundred weed when tliey are young than to kill a single plant after It has made consid erable growth, to aay nothing of th? fact that every weed that reaches ma turity and produce seeds leave great er work to be done afterward. Al though farmers are busiest In spring. yet by projierly preparing the land for tho Intended crop they gain time. For a year or two the farmer may find It difficult work combating weeds, but the time so devoted will be regained fourfold In after years. Weeds cau best lie destroyed when rotation I used, and the ground should be plowed for corn early enough In the spring to allow of the sprouting of weed seeds. This sprouting of the weed se-ls Is tha most tmimrtaut part of the process, and the farmer should he willing to per form any amount ot labor If he can yiroiit them at a time when they will not ' Interfere with a growing crop. Ksperleajee vrllh aiaaare Spreader, My exierieiice with the manure spreader teaches me that the modern method of applying manure to laud la far In advance of the old practice, says a writer In Farm and Fireside. In ap plying manure with the spreader It Is put on uniformly, and all parts of the field are equally bciicated. When the manure was dumped In plies, It fre quently happened that the work of Kill-fading was posttsuied for some time, snd the result was that much of the fertilizing value of the manure lenched out or was lost through fer mentation. The manure spreader not only saves the plant food elements of thi manure, but also aaves time and labor, as the work Is all done at one time. It does two very Important things and dues tbem well It thor oughly fines the manure and distrib utes It evenly. f IIP' coHHtcnoif or wooozw past STOIVS WALL.

Hflf IfM, It Is si ways best to start with a full colony of bees, and one that la lu every respect In first-class condition. It Is true that one can buy a part of s colony for less money, but It Is the dearest In the long run, snd more li able to be s failure. A strong colony of bees hi one season Is capsble of stor ing 1M or 2I0 pounds of honey; be sides, they nisy swsnn and make from one to two colonies. Bees should al ways be In a condition to take care of themselves, and do not require such difficult manipulation ss that of a nu cleus, or pounds, of bees, and a queen, etc., as full and strong colonies are now sent In the ordlnsry hive used In the apiary, and are equipped with the necessary fixture to have every thing In working order the moment the ' bee are located snd tlie entrance open. Tba Hall WntII, Tbe ro-oieratlon with the Bureau of Entomology of the Crop Pest Com mission of Louisiana a number of cul tural experiments were carried out In different sections of the cotton belt, during which It appeared that Triumph cotton Is the best variety for use In sections Infested with the boll weevil. Northern-grown seed. In order to re tain Ita early maturing qualities, must be renewed from Its Northern sources st least every other year. The results obtained from these experiments con firm previous work along this line, and tbe author therefore recommends thor ough preparation of tbe soil, early planting, the use of early varieties of cotton, sbumlant fertilizers, thorough cultivation of tlie crop, snd the de struction of cotton plants la the fall.
