That Tired FeeEnq

The warm weather has facilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors

is the result. This feeling can be entirely
overcome by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which gives new life and strength to all
the functions Of the body.
81 could not sleep; had no appetite
took Hoods Sarsaparilla and soon began to
sleep soundly; could get up without that
tired and languid feeling; and my appetite
improved" II. A. SANFORD, Kent, Ohio.

A Washington Dispatch dated the 4th
says that Mr.. Ranney's Panelectric report
has yisibly affected Solicitor General
Goodies case. There has heretofore been
some doubt as to his chance for cOnfrma-
tion, but now the stand is decidedly against
him. Senator Van Wyck, who has before
been favorably inclined, says positively
that he will vote nay. Another senator, on
whom the Democrats depended to help
them through, has gone back on them,
saying that his conscience would smite
him of he cast his vote for such man as
Goode. If the present decrease in the Goode
ranks continues there will be a two thirds
majority unfavorable. 1t is said in that
event Congressman Boyle, of Pennsyl-
vanla, chairman of the Telephone Investi.
CATION Committee, will be. nominated in
his place.

l have one door to each silO, at the outer
end, made by having the two middle studs
three feet apart I; to these hang two doors
eighteen inches wide by five feet long, to
the inner edge of studs, doors to open out
ward. Then close the door and nall on
board to outer edge Of studs, and fill be-
tween doors and boards with each, and you
have the same walls as the other part of
the silo When you wish to open the
doors rip off the boards in front, when the
earth falls and the doors open outward ex.
posing the ensilage. Of course the studs
are framed into plates above which should
be done in substantial manner, as the
pressure from weighing the silo is quite
heavy. Ny roofs extend three feet beyond
the sides and ends. to prevent rain from
being blown in on the ensilage. After
filling the silo I first cover the ensilage
with inch plank, laying them down length
wise !; then cover with earth eighteen
inches deep, and you may rest assured that
your ensilage is safe. I prefer common
earth for weighing, for two reasons, first,
it is more easily handled and, second, it
excludes the air better than anything else.
When feeding the ensilage first take ont
in front of the doors from bottom to top,
about two feet then on each side until
the entire end is taken out then put in
good substantial props to hold the planks
and keep the weights from bending them
down, which repeat. propping every three
feet. as the ensilage is taken out. until the
whole is exhausted. Care should be taken
that this propping be well done, other
wise the planks above may give way, and
endanger the safety of the feeders.
1t has been we'll said that ''our people |
must learn to grow everything for man
and beast before they can claim to be self
and more. they must learn to
make it without running into debt. No
general prosperity can prevail until we can
make what we consume before we con-
sumo it. Easy credit will destroy any
people; it demoralizes the thrifty and |
makes paupers of the unthrifty.
Very truly. yours, c. w. GARRETT.
