Like other historic places, Walbach tower has a legend connected with it. It seems that on one September morning three English ships were seen in the distance, lying under island, and when a rumor readied Newcastle that they intended to land, brave Col. Walbach resolved to build a tower which should protect That night men, all the beaches. women and children and gathered worked as they never worked before. It seemed as though every other course of bricks was laid by unseen hands, the work progressed so rapidly. The morning sun looked upon the tower completed and on the exhausted but satisfied people. The hostile ships, approaching the river mouth, saw the little town's defense, and, turning, fired a gun astern and sailed away. Thus, without a blow, the tower put one foe to Bight, This old landmark is within the government reservation, about a stone's throw from the disappearing guns which were placed in position soon after the Spanish war.

AVERAGE Importance to the Farmer of Care Selection of Seed Corn. in Prof. P. G. Holden in his A P C of Corn Culture says that while the average yield of corn in the United States is less than 25 bushels per acre, yet there are hundreds and thousands of farmers who produce 60 and 70, and even 80 and 90 bushels per acre. "I have in mind." he says, "scores of instances where of two fields just across the road from each other, or perhaps adjoining, but on different farms, one yielded more than 70 bushels and the other less than 20, yet the land values were the same and the labor required to produce the crop as great as to produce the crop. If one man can produce 60 and 70 bushels per acre, the other man can do it also, and not only that, but must do it If we are to achieve our agricultural possibilities." Test your corn carefully, and If it is found defective send away at once for a supply, but test that also. PINEULES TROUBLE, The cheapest and most economical heater ever used was one of my own construction. I made a frame of 2x8- inch pine seven feet long and 27 inches wide. I put a bottom on this of No. 18 galvanized Iron, letting it f inch on each side and project 14 inches at one end for a stovepipe fitting. I spiked the frame together and covered the corners with heavy tins to prevent any leaking. The bottoms was nailed on with two rows of eightpenny nails. I made a fireplace oil ,the ground of stone and blue clay, 2 feet wide by I then S feet long and 18 inches high. foot high and 3 feet piled up dirt wide at the end of the fireplace for a flue, put stone on the earth the length of the galvanized iron, placed the tank on this foundation and banked it up with dirt.

This boat Is stationed in a lake in the gardens of the summer palace, and It differs from all other boats in that It stays where its builders put it, notwithstanding It has no anchor nor moorage of any sort. It is unique, Analso. In that it does not float. other Item in Its uniqueness is that it Is built of stone marble, in fact. summer It really Is a gorgeous house constructed in the form of a beautiful boat of the best t'hlnese type. Precisely when it was built Is not publicly known, but It Is not an old craft, nor even so old as to have lost Its charm for the lady by whose It, is said orders it was constructed. the dowager empress spends a good deal of her llnio when she Is at the summer palace aboard this substantial, unslnkable. and in all respects reliable craft. The furnishings of the boat are extraordinarily beautiful, according to the Chinese standards, and this is especially true of the room where the empress occasionally dines. The largest rooms of destiny may ntered through the smallest doors of duty. I Using Commercial Fertilizers. The pure nitrate of soda, muriate of potash, or ground bone, can be used in the garden, but unless a person has had experience or handles these very carefully, results are apt to be disappointing or disastrous Plants of which the leaf or stalk are the edible portions must have plenty of nitrogen, which is available In the guano and animal manure When the roots or fruits are to be' eaten, phosphoric acid should be added In the shape of wood ashes or super phosphate. Ground bone Is too slow in becoming available. super-phospha- te "My: That's hard work! Why do folks have such awfully hard barns to get around in?" Well, sir, that was a fair question, and wish I might have answered my boy but I couldn't, just because I don t know myself why it is that so many barns about the country are terribly hard to work in. Take the one we were in at that moment for fcxaniple. There was no lad-- : der in the whole building. When you wanted to go up overhead you just had to shin up a post or swing yourself from one beam and get to another. It takes a better athlete than I am to do that right along and stand it. Think of the waste of strength! And then, there was no way to get down from the big barn floor to the basemen'. You had to travel away round out of doors, no matter what the weather might be. All because there were no stairs. Now, when we built our barn we made plans for plenty of good stairs. One pair leads from the first floor down to the basement. We are never compelled to go out of doors to get from one floor to the other. Another pair of stairs leads up to the hay loft. No steep, hard stairs are they either, but good easy ones, that anybody can get up comfortably. And then, the barn my boy and I were in that day had the worst scaffolds you most ever saw. They were made of the slabs of logs, laid with the rounding side up. You can imagine how slippery such a scaffold would get to be in the course of time. It was almost as much as one's life was worth to try to skate around on those treacherous slabs. My life was not insured, so I did not try it. If any part of a barn ought to be secured against accidents it should be the scaffolds. They are high. A Tail from .them might mean death, or at least lifelong injury and suffering. The boards ought to be carefully laid down and strong enough so that there would be no danger of breaking. Another point often overlooked in the construction of barns is conveui- ence in foddering. have been in barns where every spear of hay had to be dragged two or three rods over the floor before it could be put through the shute to tfie cattle. And one barn I know of is so made that the farmer must haul the hay as much as 75 feet to get it to the stock! A terrible waste of time and strength. What wonder that farmers wear themselves out long before their time. By a little foresight the shutes may be put in so that one may stand on the mow and send the hay right down to the feeding floor. The sides of the shute may be so built that they may be taken off as the mow goes down to avoid lifting the hay high in the air. Barns ought to be handy to the house, too. Sometimes we see them located a quarter of a mile away. What an amount of travel one must go through in the course of a lifetime on farms like that! The first thing to be done, as I iook at it, continues Mr. Vincent m Farmers' Voice, is to sit down and make a good plain diagram of the barn. Anyone can do that if he ever has had a bit of experience in doing work at a barn. A little time at this point will save years of hard and altogether unnecessary labor. i Personal Responsibility, 50,000 Paid up Capital $10,000. Accounts and Correspondence Solicited.
