If we did but realize the mental condition of the one we blame for giving way to anger or frefulness, we should usually find more reason to soothe than to condemn, At all events, most of us have proved the futility of criticism on this point and tho true appreciation which comes from a. wise sympathy will suggest many 'far more, potent methods. Voting ruckiiM. Voting machines are destined in a great measure to supersede political 'machines" in the near future, a fact for which the public should accord full measure of applause to the Inventor. Two of the most successful trials of these machines were made In the recent elections one at Rochester, N.

and tho other at Worcester, Mass. Both demonstrated beyond question their vast superiority ovor any method of registering the will of the people in national affairs. In the one place the entire city vote was re ported at police headquarters forty-five minutes after the closing of the polls. In both instances it was fairly proven that the machine made figures which would not lie, and the officials were enthusiastic in their expressed belief that the system was far in advance of the present Australian method.

HERD AH0 REFLECT. Miscellaneous News of General Interest to All. Only Urgv Mlot Prafttakh, The silo depends on entire exclu sion of air for the preservation of its contents. It Is filled with vegetable matter and carbonic acid gas, which, being heavier than air, excludes its entrance from above. But if there is any leak below through which tho smallest particle of air can reach the ensilage, it will rot so far as the air extends.

There is always more or loss rot around the edges of silos and at the top. But this top loss Is prevented by covering with some worthless material, which will rot and preserve the ensilage below. It is not practical generally to make a silo for less than four or five cows, as the waste of feed in the small silo will be too great proportionally. OII-Soakl Cob for Kindling. Much of the danger of using kero sene oil for kindling first would be avoided if corn cobs were handy to be dipped into the oil and usod for kindling.

The cobs will hold more oil than will wood, and If dry Btlcks are piled over the soaked cobs they will quickly make a blaze, which Is always needed on cold mornings to lift the volume of cold air that Is always found In pipes and chimneys after the fire goes down. It Is not best to dip more than ono or two cobs into the oil. If all the kindling, especially that on top, Is wet with oil, the fire will sometimes quickly burn off the oil, and then, without lifting the cold air a dense volume of car bonic-acid gas will settle down into the stove, making the starting of a fire worse than it was in the begin ning. What Oral Chaff It Pw. In its wild state the chaff of grain served a very lmportans purpose In shielding It from too early sprouting, which with all kinds of grain would insure its destruction by the ensuing winter.

If a head of wheat, rye or barley or of Indian corn is exposed to the weather all winter some of its grains will survive till spring or 'of the winter grains will fall out in time for the best seeding In fall. It Is thus that these grains were perpetuated in the ages before man learned to culti vate and care for Ihsm. fcvea now heavily beardod grains are less like ly to be injured by rotting in mow or stack if the straw and grain are wet. Often in threshing the straw will be rotted around the band, whllo the grain protected by its chaff is unit Jured.

J. L. Pegram sold fifty six ponnds of butter from two cows during the month of December, after supplying family of three with all the milk and butter they wanted, and they are heavy consumers of butter and milk. The but ter was sold at 10 cent per pound. These two cows, after furnishing fully one-third of the living for the family yielded a revenue of $5.60 for the month or $2.80 each.

If the milk had been sold at the creamery it would have brought about double that amount. This shows something of the worth of a cow on a farm. Every farm in this county should have more of them. Clipper. J.
