Theory of SLIDING.

Science tells US that changes in the
silo depends on four conditions: l. Life
in the vegetable cells and the presence
of air-result, oxidation and the genera
ton of heat. 9. Life in the spores of
bacteria, fungi, etc, in the presence of
air-result, mold. 8. Life in the veg
etable cells, without the presence of
air-result, fermentation and sour en-
silage. 4. No life in the vegetable cells,
nor in the spores of bacteria, fungi, ETC.,
and the exclusion of air-result, pres
ervation and sweet ensilage. By let
ting the heat rise in the first condition
of oxidation to 125 degrees and over,
even up to $50, the life in the cells and
spores is destroyed, and by proper pack
ing the air is excluded, and thus the sec
ond and third conditions are avoided, and
the fourth condition with it's results is
secured as conseQuence.-orange Judd

PLAN FOR SiLO.

Let me give you the plan of silo. says
a writer in the Country Gentleman,
which we have recently built, and IS itcan
be followed with ease by any one, even
those not skilled in carpenter work, it
may be suited to the wants of large
class of farmers who have not the neces-
sary mechanical skill, or the ready
money to hire carpenter to lay out,
frame and erect wooden building suit
able for the desired purpose. The site
chosen for the silo is on a hillside close
by one on which we shall build a row of
stables where we will feed and house
our herd of Holstein cattle the coming
winter.
An excavation 22x22 feet and four feet
deep on the side next to the bank was
first made. A ditch in which were laid
three-inch tile was then dug close to
bank on three sides, thus insuring a dry
bottom-the slope of bank being such,
that on the fourth side the grade of bot
tom runs out level with top of ground.

per part of the stall, or in any cOnven-
lent place, where the desired effect will be
obtained. The plan of running it up
to the roof as indicated is very eco
nomical one and is being practiced more
every year. 1t creates a constant draft
of air, and when properly built can be
regulated to perfection, keeping the air
as pure as possible, and at the same time
not causing cold draft to strike the
animals, as is too often the case when
the openings are made down lower.

Catarrhal DeafnessHay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this TO be fact, and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
n. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on

brief summary Of the results:
Shelled corn produces fat more rapidly
than other feeds tested
Corn produces fat at II cheaper rate
than other feeds tested
Shelled corn produced pork at u profit
for sixty-three days. Cornmeal pro-
duced pork at profit for sixty-three
days. Corncob meal produced pork at a
profit for fifty-four days.
The Chester Whites fattened more
readily than the Thin Kinds on the same
quality of food.
The heterogeneous foods produced so
little gain in live weight that it may be
attributed to growth and not to fattening
Cotton seed meal could not be fed
profitably.
Much corncob meal was wasted in
feeding, being picked over and refused.
The pigs fed on heterogeneous foods
were SO much stronger than the others
that they caused them serious injury
when turned out to run together.
Of the heterogeneous foods tested, that
of corncob meal and ship stuff in equal
parts was the cheapest.

Petroleum on the Farm.

Now that many of the farm implements
are out Of use, such as are not painted
may be greatly benefited and their USE
fitness prolonged by the use of petro-
leum. This should be laid on with
brush as you would paint, but do not
make the mistake of considering it as
paint by mixing colors or anything else
with it. Its operation is to penetrate the
wood instead of remaining on the sur
face, and when enough is applied to sat
urate a piece Of wood it makes it almost
imperishable from the action of the ele-
ments. Shingles dipped in it or painted
with it would have their lifetime greatly
heightened, and for barns and outbuild-
ings such use of it would be unobjection-
able, while on the roof of dwelling in
any danger from sparks of fire it might
be considered as perhaps increasing the
risk. AS thoroughly cheap wood pre-
sentative, no better one is known, and on
account of its small cost it can be applied
in SO many cases where expensive paints
would not be thought of that it can often
be advantageously substituted for them.
Implanted posts and gates and rough
farm implements of any kind are good
subjects for its use.
