the first potatoes we use are dug nearest
the hills. planted single row of seven

How TO Build n SiIO,

MANY Mics IN POp.ltF Science NJ MOnthly.l
The first silos, as we have seen, were
simple pits dug in the ground, and the
soil thrown out was used to cover and
protect the ensilage. In many soils these
pits served but temporary purpose F.; and
the next step in their development was n
lining of masonry to give the pits a per
manent character. From the difficulty of
keeping the water out of these pits, in
many localities, silos of masonry were
made above ground, and these at first
were massive and expensive. The next
step in advance, which quite naturally
followed, was to substitute a movable
cover of boards, with weights, to give
the required pressure, for the cover of
I earth which had been used i'll the less
! perfect form of the silo. AS an air-tight
inclosure was found to be the essential
condition in the construction of a silo,
! lighter walls were made as a matter of
economy, with good results, and even
frames of timber, lined with boards or
planks, were substituted for the more ex-
pensive structures, with complete sue
cess.
A balloon-frame of scantling, of suita-
BILE size, covered on the outside with
matched boards, and lined on the inside
with two thicknesses of oue-inch matched
boards, with layer of tarred paper be-
tween them, thus securing a practically
air-tight inclosure, surrounded by dead
air space as protection against frost, is,
in the opinion of the writer, the best and
cheapest form of construction. If the
boards and timbers are saturated with hot
coal-tar, which can readily be done, with
trihing expense, the durability of the silo
will be very much increased. From the
fact that wood is not so good conductor
of heat as walls of masonry, it will be
seen, from what follows, that wooden silos
may have au important advantage over
any others in preserving the ensilage,
which, IN connection with the saving of
expense in their construction, must have
an influence in bringing them into gene
! raj use.

Many political parties in this country have
had their rise, their day of active or non-act-
i've accom- plishment, their decay, and finally
utter disintegratiou. The principles so to
call them, entering into the organization of
such parties, were not fundamental. perma-
nent nor enduring. Their aims were self
ish, ephemeral, and local rather than nation
al. comprehensive and patriotic. Washing
toms administration was personal rather than
partisan He was elected and reelected on
the strength of his personal popularity,
rather than as the leader or exponent of a
party. But he was Federslist, and the
old Federal party organization grew up un-
der his reign. The Federalists were essen
italy aristocrats. Washington was an arts
tocrat, and large element of royalty, cold,
frigid, formal, naughty and austere, far away
from the common people entered into his
official and personal bearing. He held him
self aloof from ''the common herd,'' was
not easily approachable, and access could
not be gained to him, except through the
most precise ceremonious Formally He
never shook hands with the people. On his
reception days as chief magistrate, arrayed
in courtly costume with powdered wig he
took convenient stand by the side of the

CUBA.

The present condition of Cuba is most de-
plorable- The sugar crop this year will not
pay expenses, property has largely depreeia-
ted, and many of the wealthiest citizens are
financially ruined. Socie ty is greatly de-
moralized, and life and property are unsafe
in many parts of the Island. The people of
the island are greatly distressed and over
burdened by the ruinons exactions and tax
alton imposed by the government at Madrid
in extorting revenues from the island, and,
yet, 10 maintain Spanish authority in the
island has imposed a vast drain on the gov
eminent treasury, for years. There are va
rious rumors aaoat, am ong them one that
our government has been secretly negotiat-
ing for the purchase Of Cuba, another that
it would be annexed to the United States by
force if necessary. Another absurd report
is thatit would be given to Germany in trust
for twenty five years, and then sold to the
United States. These and other rlImors in
regard to this unhappy island can be traced
to no reliable source, and their general alb
surdity is their best refutation.

Murdered by His Brother,

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-William II. Downie mem
Der OF the board of trade, was found dead in the
basement of his house in La Sale avenue to-
night, with bullet hole in the left temple. He
was alone in the house at the time and from the
fact that the face powder burned and his
ir scorched it at first supposed to be case
vi suicide But closer examination Of the position
and direction of the wound and the fact that no
weapon could be found led to the
conclusion that it was murder. He had brother
Charles j. Downie, with whom he had
frequent alterations in regard to an undivided
estate left them by their mother, these troubles
leading to separation yesterday, after an I'M
usually stormy scence, and an attempt was made
by Charles to brain his brother with an axe
This, with the fact that Charles once shot at
William led to the suspicion that il was a case
of fratracide. The police arrested Charles on his
way from the city to his suburban home, and
found Oh his person q revolver with one chamber
empty.

'Wm. Tarr, Jr.,' placed upon it in order to
carry out his scheme The ear rings obtained
were worth 81 800, for which he gave check,
also autographed, in the name of William Tarr

of Wranglemeter & Co. as VIM. Tarr, Jr.. who
admitted that he only knew him on his own rep

'sharp" attempted to negotiate $1,000 in bonds
at Green's brokerage, but they were too sharp
for him there, and his game failed TO work.

Miss SUSAN B. ANTHONY and Mrs. Eliza

charming credulity sustain ''Blaine of
Maine'' as a prohibitionist. 1t is greatly to
be feared that the action of these ladies and

fluence on the German vote, and thus harm
more than help the cause of that super

whole audience enthusiastic. Rev. r, F..

THE question is asked, what becomes of

the recipients with an eye to business and

various ways. It is said of Mdme. Pauline

happens to be, she sends all her floral gifts
