gate to listen to the eloquence Of the republic

Why don't parents visit the school? How
many Of our school children's parents visit the
schools or even know the teachers when meet
them on the street? How many know what
their children ARE studying, or how they are
progressing. Is there any Of you who have q
building to make or q fence to build; dress to
make; house to paint, or whatever the job
may be, that say to the one you haye employed
Here are the tools and materials do It to suit
yourself and it will suit me-" IL not this
what many Of you are doing with your child
REM You say by your actions, ''Here is my
child with its books, pencil and paper, 1 have
furnished material and tools, educate him as
you like" Now we hear some Of you say '.The
than do" While that may be part true, the
carpenter, or dressmaker, or painter knows
how to do the work better than you do, yet
you do not leave 1t al to them. On the rising
generation depends the welfare Of this great
nation. Patrons and parents, take more inter-
est in our schools and visit them often, and by
your presence give the teachers more encour-
agement. Ask them how your children are
doing. Perhaps few minutes talk with them
will save trouble that years to come can never
undo. Think about this and ask yourself II
you are doing right. Visit your school as often
as you do political meetings.

PLAN OF A SlLO.
One That Is Cheap and Can Be Used for
Variety of Other Purposes.

One That Is Cheap and Can Be Used for q
Variety of Other Purposes.
1t is palpably true that if silage is a
useful and practicable process for pre-
serving succulent fodder there is no
use for root crops, except as they may
be grown as catch crops or to fill a
vacancy. Catch crops, as rule, are
Objectionable, for the reason that as
much is lost in the main crop as is
gained in these. And if the crops are
grown merely to utilize piece of land
that is not in use tor other crops dur
ing short interval, we can grow corn
as easily and as quickly as we can
grow roots. The good culture and
manuring given to roots, and for which
root crops are so highly esteemed,
may be quite as well applied to the
corn with equal benefit and profit. So
that the whole question hinges upon
the value of the silo for preserving
green crops. 1t is now season when
test of this may be made. A small
silo ten by twelve and sixteen feet high
may be constructed for the purpose,
and if it is afterward abandoned for
this use it will make an excellent ice
house or most useful stable, or what
is wanted on every farm, separate
place for calving cows or sick animals,
or a visitors horse or many other
valuable uses. The silo may be filled
with the second cutting of clover,
which never makes good hay.
A silo, constructed by the writer for
this purpose, is of the size mentioned,
and made as follows: Stills, six by eight
inches, are laid down and tied by two
fat girts of the same size, dovetailed
into the stills four feet apart from CEN
tiers to divide the floor into three and
four feet spaces. Studs, two by eight,
are morticed into the stills in this way:
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1888-09-27

And to strengthen these studs against
the pressure from the inside piece of
plank is spiked across the foot in the
manner shown. This prevents the
studs from splitting and being forced
outward, as the contents of the silo
settle down. A double floor of oak
boards twelve inches wide, with joints
broken, is laid across the four stills. and
a thick coating of pine tar is laid be-
tween the floors; the upper one being
bedded into the tar, which thus fills the
joints. This gives most excellent air.
tight floor, which is fit for any purpose.
The inner wall, the only one at present,
is made of common boards doubled, and
with roofing felt between them. The
plates are tied by two by eight pieces
spiked on the top, upon which tenn
porary staging may be laid at any time
for the fodder cutter.-N Z. Times.

ABILENE REFLECTOR
MY FORMER SELF,

know thee not, my youthful friend,
And yet think that can trace,
as wistfully 1 gaze and bend.
Something familiar in thy face
Methinks I've seen thy rudy cheek,
Thy brow unwrinkled. fair and high,
Thy pleasant smile that seems to speak.
Thy dark brown hair-thy sparkling eye!
When did know theef Thou art fair
And am frail and full of woe,
My aching brow is scanned with care
Twas surely in the long ago,
How changed am l, while thou 1T the same
AS when knew thee fresh and young;
Love in thine eyes, a living flame.
And tuneful witcheries on thy tongue!
Thy heart was strong thy step was light,
Ambition frolicked in thy brain,
And dared to dream OF dizzier height
Than mortal effort could attain.
Thy fancies wandered unconfined,
Wild as the storms on mountain crest,
And free as gentlest summer wind
That wantons on the oceans breast,
Time seemed before thine eager eyes
To stretch illimitably long;
For toll. for pleasure. for emprize,
For conflict OF the right with wrong.
such tate as failure never doomed
On thy horizons distant scope,
And all things possible assumed
The living forms OF Love and Hope.
All this thou vert. and more than this!
When we were comrades stanch and true
And never dreamed that present bliss
Could change its texture or its hue;
Never, oh Lever, dreamed that years
Could put disunion 'twixt US twain,
And teach me amid groans and tears.
That thou and I had lived in vain!
Time has rolled on, and thou art left
drcam-a thought-and nothing more:
OF all thy former force bereft,
a broken billow on the shore.
While /. or what in days long past,
Was like to thee in face and form,
Float like leaf upon the blast
OF Deaths inevitable storm.
Vain are regrets! All blooms decay,
That fruits may follow in their stead;
And fruits must perish in their day.
That seeds may live when fruits are dead.
Our seed-tiIne may be here on Earth,
Our Harvest is in Heaven above
A second and immortal birth
In Gods Eternity OF Love.

Tho "Three Sizes" Alarm.

Speaking of fires, one occasionally hears the remark that the alarm sounded "three sixes." Now what is meant by ''three sixes'' is an enigma to most persons It is popu- larly supposed it is general alarm, and will bring to the scene of action all the fire ap- paratus in the city. This is 8 mistake. The "three sixes' are substantially equivalent to a double third alarm. Fire and Water, a journal devoted to the fTemen's interests, explains that ordinarily third alarm calls out an average of eleven engine companies and four hook and ladder companies. The ssthree sixes'' sent out after third alarm has been sent in will bring out, ordinarily, twenty two engines, eight hook and ladder companies, two water towers, the chief, two assistant chiefs and several chiefs of bat talions. These numbers might vary little, according to the location of the fire.
 The full force of the New York city de partment consists of ffty-fve engine com panies, eighteen hook and ladder companies, two water towers, two fire boats, one chief of department, two assistant chiefs and twelve chiefs of battalions. Ameri-

DOWN AN BEREAVEMENT.

A New England Gravel Train Thrown
 Into the Water.
 A gravel train of several cars on the New England road was precipitated down an embankment ten feet between the meadow creek bridge and the Pigville crossing near Hartford yesterday afternoon. The over flow from the river had washed into the sides of the roadbed which supported one of the new side tracks. The train was be- ing backed down the side track when the roadbed suddenly gave way and the cars, heavily laden with clay and gravel, were thrown into five feet of water. There were about thirty Italian laborers on the train, but luckily they were all on the for ward car, which, with the engine, did not leave the track. The brakeman on the rear car saved himself from serious injury by leaping to the bank. Two big mogul engines were coupled onto the disabled train and after few hours work most of the cars were dragged back on to the main track

A Sublime Victory.

The victory won in the civil war was, in i've particulars, the greatest in hstory: The vlctors captured the forces opposed 10 them, and these among the bravest or mankind; they secured the largest territory ever taken in war; they destroyed utterly the subject matter of the contest; they settled the issues so thoroughly that no retrial can ever be necessary. and, most glorious triumph of all, they captured the hearts of the brave men they conquered. Grant did not merely force the surrender of Lees veterans; he won their regard. There was no ''subjugation;" :" he did not make them 'pass under the yoke" They began by respecting him and ended with a warmer feeling; they prayed TOT nm m his af6iction, and mourned sincerely at his death. His spirit survives in the universal amnesty, social and political; the wSr worn Confeder- ate and the old Federal sit side by side in the national congress and meet amicably in the social circle. Even in the border states, where one would naturally expect local ha- treds to survive longest, one will meet in the same parlor survivors of both armies, shar- ing impartially the smiles of the fair; and il, as rarely happens, some one with more mem- ory than charity ventures to mouth the bitter terms of the bitter past, the hearers quickly rising frown sternly re- bukes the unwelcome memory, or the sound falls dead upon unsympathizing ears, like curse upon the mountain top which dies on the cold, pure air without an echo.
 Contrast this condition with that of other lands where civil war has ragged; with Scot land where one uprising followed another for sixty years; with Ireland where the feud of Saxon and Celt, at the end of two cen turies, is only half appeased. Is it not fact that more men have been killed and wounded in American cities, fighting over the Battle of the Boyne," than both armies lost in the battle itself? Yet how many riots can you name between ex-Federal and ex-Con- federatea This is our common glory, north and south; this makes it victory which all can celebrate, and it is soon to be here as it is in the poetic literature of Scotland, where all the heroic achievements of both sides are cast into a common stock and are the com mon glory of the country.
