Aberdeen Examiner.
Last year a farmer improvised a
small silo by sinking a molasses hogs
head into the ground in his barn eel
lar. He cut up all his corn fodder
with hay cutter, supposing he had
enough to fill about four hogsheads,
but on packing it found it wouldn't
fill one. He then bought Of neigh
Dor as much more as one horse could
draw, and still there was room. he
then cut up the stalks from a piece
of sweet corn and with a lot of r. wen
managed TO fill his hogshead. He
made close fitting cover, and with
a jackscrew set under one of the floor
timbers, pressed it down as tight as
possible. In the middle of Decem.
Der he opened his silo and found the
corn as fragrant as when put in.
From the hogshead he fed one COW
half bashel of ensilage morning
and night for two months, and con
siders It the best milk producing food
that can be fed. This year he pro
poses to fill the hogshead with oat,
cut Just as they are in the milk. /
a silo on so simple a plan is practica
bic, there is certainly no reason VIII
everybody should not have one, au6
satisfy himself Of the value of the en-
silage system.

Coloring a Pine Floor.

Washington Gazette
The Art Interchange gives the fol-
lowing directions for coloring a floor
which is to be partially covered with
rugs: Buy at any painters store tur-
pentine and linseed oil mot boiled. J
Ask them to put a little japanese
dryer in the turpentine. Buy either
burnt sienna or Vandyke brown, or
both according to the color of the
rugs and the tint on the walls. These
eolors come put up in tin cans, small
er but otherwise similar to tomato or
fruit cans. Af,er your floor has been
washed thoroughly clean, is free
from dust, and dry, begin by opening
1 your can and mixing, III another re.
ceptaele the oil, turpentine and paint.
Remember, the oil il to thin your
paint, the turpentine to dry it. The
mixture should be SO thin that it viii
run with liquid readiness. Lay it on
with a brush, as thick as your hand
stroking the brush the way of til,
grain of the wood. Protect YOU
hands with old gloves, and go owe
the floor with rag. In fact, YOU viii
need two rags, one pretty well charg
ed with paint to rub in every crevice
and another rag to rub off any SUI
perhus paint. Mind your stops, or
rather. put some mind in the wa,
you stop. Do not stop in straigh
line across the grain of wood, bu
carry your brush irregularly down
taking a hint from natures lines i
the wood you are preserving witt
paint. BY mixing the burnt sienni
and Vandyke brown you viii secur
a rich color without needing to us
the paint in thick form. You
mixture should be so thin that tn,
grain of the wood will show through
) If you have too much turpentine th
, paint will rub off. If you have to
/ little, your room will need more day
/ to dry. Twice as much oil as tul

mize the oil, and be as prodigal i
rubbing as your strength will pei

To keep the gloss on a staine'
floor it is recommended once a wee

The Great shoshone waterfall.

Two Omaha capitalists and bank
er of Butte, Montana, have recently
embarked in an enterprise-The pur-,
chase of the Big Shoshone~ WATERFALL,
in Idaho. Until six months ago the>
property was not an sight," and it's
existence was only known, through ths
report of an occasional hunter, who,.
reaching the edge Of the basin which
surrounds the approach to the FALLS,
peered at them curiously at the dis
lance Of three-quarters of a mile, and
gained only an unsatisfactory impress
sion of vast body of water, much
spray and more roar. From the edge
Of this basin there was no more foot
ing to nearer point of view. Blast
ing and picking have cut a path
through the rocky sides to the waters
edge, and the falls can now be view
ed as easily as can those of niagara.
The Snake River, which forms the,
falls, is at this point deep stream.

RALPH CALDERwooD, an old Idaho
City citizen, who has been out in Gus

into this harbor last Monday and an
chored, probably for the winter.
Kalph has been at work the past year
at Bayhorse. About two-thirds of
the residents Of that district left this

there, and will work in the Ramshorn,
Sky Lark, Silver Wing and Bull of
the Woods mines. It is the intention
to run the Bayhorse smelter till about
the first Of February. This smelter
has turned out great deal of bullion
this season. The ore of the mines
above mentioned runs high. Galena
ore for fuxing, is brought in from the
Saturday mine, on Squaw creek. A
few men are scattered through Kin
nikinick district, doing the work of
representation in the mines. A good
many locations, Ralph tells us, have
been taken up on Lost river. The
ores are principally galena. 1t is the
opinion Of good many that the mines
of this district will surpass the Wood
River bonanzas One ledge has been
discovered that is said to be eight
hundred feet wide, but Ralph thinks
probably the length of the vein is
mistaken for the width. Severa
claims on Thompson's creek have
been recorded this season. The vein.
of this district also carry galena

above Squaw creek. There is SOM

while attempting to deliver lecture
from the steps of the new City Hall

in that manner anywhere south of the

opportunity it would give certain
newspapers and office-holders to fire
the northern heart, by dwelling upon
the horrors of Southern society, where
even freedom of speech was denied
citizens; but as the outrage was per
petrated in San Francisco-probably
by the hireling of millionaire ex-

Senator Edmunds is preparing a
postal telegraph bill, which he will
submit to the Senate soon after Con-
gress meets. His idea is to have
trunk lines connecting lines of the
various States, with the National Cap
ital as main center; and then have
lines in the States radiate from the
State capitals to leading postotfices.
He is opposed to the purchase of any
of the existing lines. He had num-
Der of consultations with telegraph
experts and has collected a mass Of
figures bearing on the actual cost OF
building telegraph lines. He has al
so examined the latest system of put
ting wires underground. He called
upon the President and had an inter
view with him. 1t is probable tina
the President will recommend thu
postal telegraph in his message.
