PLAN OF A SlLO.

One That Is Cheap and Can BE Used for a
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 q
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 a 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 we'll 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
IL 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 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: Sills, six by eight
inches, are laid down and tied by two
fat girts of the same size, dovetailed
into the sills four feet apart from CEN
tors to divide the floor into three and
four feet spaces. Studs, two by eight,
are morticed into the sills in this way:

grab for her handkerchief and clasps
it to her mouth, it means that she
wants to sneeze.
When the whiting fend binds his
around one of his fingers, it signifies

lucky man.
When strar ge man wakes you up
in the middle of the night and pokes
his handkerchief down your throat,
it is a sign that he is robbing your
house..
When a woman carries her handker-
chief in her hand she does not always
wish to cry or fiirt, but probably has no
pocket in her dress.
When an actress displays q lace hand

THE POULTRY BUSINESS.
No One Needs Fail in It If Dlligent, Pune
tunl and EnternriRlnH.

No One Needs Fail in It If Dlligent, Pune
tual and Enterprising.
That the hen was specially designed
for the farmer, has always been pet
theory of mine, and every intelligent
poultry-man knows that there is an
abundance of evidence to substantiate
this belief.
When we consider that almost every
product of the farm is keenly relished
by the fowls, that on the farm they can
obtain a greater and more wholesome
variety of food than in any other place,
and that the barn-yard and the broad
fields atfording ample opportunities for
exercise and insect hunting, are sources
Of inestimable pleasure and profit to
the feathered stock, we can not fail to
see how we'll the farm is adapted to the
wants of the fowl.
Still, among the few farmers who
keep poultry, there is comparatively
small number who go into the business
to any extent, and it is only in excep-
tional cases that they meet with more
than ordinary success.
There are many reasons to which may
be attributed the failure of farmers to
succeed with poultry in the past. One
of the principal ones is their abhorrence
for any thing new. do not wish to
imply that poultry-keeping is some-
thing ''new'' by this statement, but
that going into the business on large
scale is of recent date. Many farmers
think that if a business isn't as old as
the constitution, it is little unrelia-
BILE. So they have left it to their moro
enterprising city and village brethren
to take the cream of the business and
reap the gilt-edged profits from the
new breeds of high-priced fowls.
Their adherence to the belief that
the 'old hardy dunghills" were safer
investments than the new-fangled
varieties, has been another hindrance
to their progress.
Neglect to feed regularly, leaving the
fowls to roost in apple trees or on the
wood-pile over night, failure to keep a
fresh supply Of water on hand at all
times, and adherence to the "dung-
hill" or mongrel varieties, are not cir
cumstances favorable to successful
poultry-keeping.
To succeed with poultry on the farm,
as in all other places, 1t is necessary
first to erect comfortable quarters;
second, to select sound birds Of pure
strain adapted to your wants. climate
and surroundings; third. TO give them
the care and attention regularly which
they deserve, even II the pillow stops
o moment.
With diligence, punctuality and en-
terprise us watchwords, no one need
fail in the poultry business.--M y.

sonable Certainty.
1--WE have generally an announce
ment to make. but not often OF so much
Importance as that OF this day. IL Is
the discovery of the Pool of Bethesda"
So writes Mr.. Walter Bcsant in the
Qartcrty Statement issued by the Palcs-
tine Exploration Fund. He is jubilant,
as all Palestine enthusiasts are likely
to be, that vexed question in regard
to site is apparently settled forever.
Bethesda Is mentioned only by the
fourth Evangelist. In the fifth chapter
OF his gospel, John says: 'Now there
is at Jerusalem by the sheep market
for gatel pool which is called in the
Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches." The word translated
''pool" in the authorized version is
given by some authorities as "swim-
ming bath;" and the phrase "pool by
the sheep market" is possibly better
rendered "sheep pool" Eusebius ex-
plains tho occasional red color of the
water of this "sheep pool as being
trace of the carcasses of sheep washed
in 1t before sacrifice; hence the name.
There were, according to the Evangelist.
five pOrches, or porticoes, around the
pool. These, DIR. Geikie thinks, charity
built for the accommodation of suffer-
ers. 1t seems to us, however, equally
probable that they formed part of the
| original scheme for the bath. Five
porticoes would seem to imply penta-
gonal structure; but this is by no means
essential A rectangular pool with u
portico on every side, divided by one
across the middle, would answer the
description. Bethesda" Ga Hebrew
name which was probably invented by
St. JohD may mean either "house OF
mercy" or "the place of the pouring

At the northeast of modern Jerusa-
lem, close to St. Stevens Gate, stands
the Church of st. Anne. At the
time OF the Crimean war it was ruined

possession of it they restored the church
and handed it over to the Algerian
monks. 1t is near this Church of St

There is still water in it, but it is diff

brief, is Herr Schick's report of Apri
8. Since then further excavations have
been made, and he has prosecuted NOR,
extended inquiries. A twin pool ha
been discovered. Further examination
will bring more details to light; but i

TRAVELLING WITH A SHOW.
The Return OF the Prodigai Son of ths
Nineteenth Century.

The Return OF the prodigal Son of the
Nineteenth Century.
The boy who ran away from home to
travel with a circus is slowly and pain
fully making his way back to the pa
ternal roof tree. He is out OF funds,
for 1t hasn't been good year for cir
cuses, and he has to walk when he can't
steal q ride on freight car.
Things haven't turned out just as ho
expected when he joined the show at
Schedam Hollow. 1t hasn't been ono
continual round OF Arabian nights, fairy
scenes and spangles for him, as he ex-
pected 1t would be. His ambition to be
q circus boy was inhamed when he first
saw the colored posters displayed on
the weather-stained sides OF the old
blacksmith shop at "The Corners"
while on his way to school. Then tho
street parade in the village added to
his yearnings, and by the time the
canvas was spread on vacant lot back
of the tavern he was satisfied that noth-
ing but life OF mingled spangles and
sawdust could ever satisfy him.
He got in that night by doing some
little jobs for the boss canvas man, and
he thought it was paradise, indeed, al
though an old man sitting beside him
said it couldn't compare with the Cir
Gus Dan Rice used to bring along in
the fifties.
But it was good enough show for
this boy in the eighties, and that night
after the performance was over and the
canvas taken down and loaded on
wagons, he hid under a wagon seat
and was carried away with the rest
of the parahernalia. Thus runaway
boys, like vagrant dogs, follow off a
show and find some place to burrow
in. They get to be useful. too, some
times, boys and dogs. Some of the
most successful showmen in the world
have commenced just that way.
But the boy Of whom we write
doesn't seem to have been cut out for a
Snowman, somehow. He hadn't the
necessary enthusiasm for the profes-
sion. The "get there, Eli" wasn't in
him. He soon tired Of roughing it,
and longed for the good things of his
fathers table and his snug cot in the
attic. He had been kept at all sorts OF
drudgery ever since his presence with
the show was detected. He had been
cuffed by rude hostlers, bounced of
wagons by grouty drivers and ordered
around by everybody. One night he
was iolted off the pole wagon when
asleep and nearly killed.
When he joined the show he ex.
pected to be dressed up in tights and
put in the ring to ride bareback act
If not that he would be put in the band
to play the snare drum. But instead
of that he was made to assist the cook
and bring water to the elephant. He
wasn't even advanced to property boy.
And now he is going back home over
mud roads, penniless and penitent with
all his bright delusions destroyed.
He found that actual show life diff
fered greatly from what his imagin'
alton had painted it, as indeed is the
case with all the golden dreams o!
youth. When does reality equal human
fancyp
We hope the boy will reach home
safely at last, bearing useful lessons
from his hard experience in travelling
with the show.-IerdS Siftings.
