Neason, Grimes County farmer, has designed a trench silo to prevent losses on un- drained land. 4 His method of construction pro- vides a special drainage system for the silo and he predicts that farm- ers will save thousands of dollars if they copy it. Neason solved the caving problem by sealing the sides with pine boards, He placed 14-foot oak poles in four consecutive rows and formed three bins by tacking wire netting along each row of poles. He covered the silage with six inches of soil and constructed a dirt bank on the rim of the silo to pre- vent surface water from running in. to it. Wall spoilage was reduced by this mehod. On feeding, he exposed only one section of the silo at a time, thus re- ducing spoilage from exposure. Nea- son sald the three-bin silo {8 equal to the ordinary trench silo 120 fget long, 10 feet wide and seven feet deep. Capacity was 121 tons. Total expense of construction was approximately $40. Canada Behind In Its Botany Dominion Gardens Are Advocated For More Study Edmonton.--Founding of botanical gardens throughout Canada 18 neces- sary and both cultural and economic . advantages could be derived from * such institutions, H. T. Gussow, of Ottawa, told members of the Univer- sity of Alberta Science Assoclation. "Canada {is the only unit of the British Empire that is not well to the fore in botanical research," Mr. Gussow declared. "Economic value of such world famed gardens as Kew, in London, Eng.; and the es- tablishment in Java of two of the 'world's greatest has been repeated. ly proven." British Columbia, Ontario and the Maritime Provinces were mentioned as the most suitable locations for | Dominion gardens. Quebec is well to ; the fore in the study of natural life, the distinguished botanist said.

Old American Expression "Raise cain" is the original and correct form of this slang phrase, which means to create a disturbance, to start a quarrel or cause trouble in general, says Pathfinder Maga- zine. M. Schele de Vere, writing in 1871, said that "when the rowdy is in earnest and his blood is up, he has a terrible term by which to design- ate the nature of his action; he raises cain." This phrase is of American origin and has been amples indicate that it first was used in the West and probably al- luded to the fact that Cain killed Abel. There is no evidence to sup- port the presumption that the phrase refers to the cultivation of the plant known as cane and should therefore never be written "raise cane." d The Houseflies Vote The eve of the annual Spring ap- pearance of the common housefly seemed the right time for Professor Stanley Barron Freeborn of the Uni. versity of California to report the color preferences of that ubiquitous pest. It appeared that fly paper should be bright orange, a shade all fifes like best; that table cloths should be pale green, the least liked color. Dr, Freeborn, specialist in sheep and pou:try parasites, conducted his housfly balloting by exposing a big rectangular board divided into squares of different colors, count- ing the number of Insects which alighted on each (without taking reneaters into account.) The vote: orange, 10,672: prim- rcse veliow, 6,541; dark blue, 4,750; canary yellow, 4,489; carmine, 4,415; jade green, 3,819; light gréy, 3,790; light. blue, 3,480; aluminum, 3,426; light coral red, 3,361; white, 2,360; fvory yellow, 2,238; light green, 2,067, -- Time. cil were not daunted in their effort to educate their children. An "emer- gency meeting" was called and one farmer offered to donate his granary for a teacherage, others volunteered to plaster it, whitewash it, put windows in and equip it from the meagre supplies of their homes. A teacher was engaged and sustained out of their restricted food supplies and school is going on. There are many like instances in these days of difficulty. Their churches are kept up in the same way. Ministers are cheerfully living on less than half their salary in manses and parson- ages segregated in one or two rooms to save fuel expenses and are min- istering to their flocks without thought of further comfort or re- muneration, bring sweetness and light into homes where were it not for these ministrations might come gloom, discouragement and despair.
