How to Build a Cheap silo.

The American Agriculturist says:
Whatever cheapens the cost of the silo,
or lessons the expense OF using 1t, will
hasten the introduction Of the method,
especially upon the farms OF those of
moderate means. The important expert
ments of ensilage conducted at the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College have
shown that balloon frame of scantling
of suitable size, covered on the outside
with matched boards and lined on the
inside with. two thicknesses of one-inch
matched boards, with layer of tarred
paper between them, thus securing par
TALLY alright Enclosure, surrounded by
a dead-air space as a protection against
frost, is the best and cheapest form of
construction. II the boards and timbers
are saturated with bot coal tar, which
can readily be done with trifling expense
and little labor, the duration of the silo
will be very much increased. Silos are.
in these respects, similar to ice houses,
their usefulness does not increase with
the ratio Of their cost.

previously rubbing file over some OBJ
scure part of the surface. II the article
is pure silver a clean, blood-red mark will
be left; less deep and lively the lower the
quality! On platinum the test will have

and cold water; on Britannia metal a
black mark appears; on other metal a
result follows wholly different to that on
silver.
The French patent law has one admira-
bic feature. The patentee has the exclu-
slVe right for one year after taking out
letters to file his application for improve
ments or additions TO the original iuVen-
ton. Any other person may file an APP
plication during the same time for a
| similar purpose, but it remains under seal
until the end of the year, at which time
1t is opened, and il il complies with the
law. and unless the same matter is COW
cred by the original pateDtee's applica-
ton, 1t is allowed. This affords the In
yentor measure of protection that he
cannot fail to appreciate.
Crackle glass is produced by covering
one side of piece OF plate glass with a
| thick stratum of fluX, or readily fusible
glass, mixed with coarse fragments of
glass. The fux Tor fusible glass under
this treatment cracks and splits, leaving
innumerable fine lines Of fracture over it's
surface, having much the appearance OF
scales in irregular crystals, which cross

beautiful effects when the light fails upon
