Fundamental Principles That Must BE
Carefully Carried Out.
The use of the silo is becoming SO sue
cessful that many farmers are adopting
it, sometimes without full knowledge
and clear understanding OF its funda-
mental principles. The first of these
is the entire exclusion of air from the
contents Indeed. this may be said to
be the only requisite to be secured, for
the air is the only agent of decay that
is to be guarded against, and all the
careful provisions employed in the
construction of silos are for the pur-
pose of excluding it. Consequently the
floor and the walls of the silo are to
be perfectly sealed against the
entrance of air. The best silos are
now made of boards, doubled, with
tarred roofing felt between the layers,
the inside lining being put vertically
and made of dry matched lumber, the
joints being sealed with coat of tar
and melted resin used hot. The
whole lining is then painted over with
this mixture, which closes the pores
and prevents air from penetrating.
The outside boards are covered with
the novelty siding, which lies close and
further helps to exclude air. The
floor of beaten clay. or covered with
cement and tarred, is closely joined to
the bedded stills. The roof is water
| tight and the air is excluded from the
contents by covering of cut straw
one foot thick, or of doubled boards
laidthe same way for easy removal,
with roofing felt between them.
In filling the silo the fodder Is firm.

the practice renders it comhulsor

teacher was too quick of foot for his

A murmur of suppressed horror ran
through the lookers-on. This capital
piece of fun might develop into a
tragedy. The girls, huddled together
by tho school-house door, began to
scream. The agile master caught the
descending blows on his left arm. at

pressure of his knees on his chest until

"Got enough?" was the laconic in.

the grip was relaxed sufficiently to let
him speak.

DESTROYING Moths with Salt.

For moths salt is the best extermin-
ator. The nuns in one of the hospital
converts have tried everything else
without success, and their experience
is valuable, as they have SO much
clothing of the sick who 60 there, and
strangers, when dying there, often
leave quantities of clothing, etc. They
had room full of feathers, which
were sent there for pillow making, and
they were in despair. as they could not
exterminate the moths until they were
advised to try common salt. They
sprinkled it around. and in aweek or
ten days were altogether rid of the
moths. They are never MOULDED now.
In heavy velvet carpets sweeping them
with salt cleans and keeps them from
moths, as particles Of the salt remain
in the carpets and corners. Salts not
hurtful to any one, and has no bad
smell. Here is little hint l add,
which, perhaps. every one does not
know: For cleaning wash-basins. baths,
etc, use the same thing, common dry
salt. Rub little of the salt with your
fingers on the basin. Often sort Of
scum is noticed in the basins in a
marble washstand in the bathroom;
the salt takes it off easily, and leaves
the basin shining and clean.-Philadel.

THE STORY OF A FLOWER.


A spotless thing enough, they said,
The drift, perchance, from foreign lands,
Washed In atop of mighty tides
And lightly left along the sands.
Was 1t the treasure Of some shelf
Some islanders forgotten bead?
A wave-worn polyp from the reef?
The gardener said: st is seed"
"Bury It," said he, sin the soil;
The earth will quicken here, as there,
With vital force-so fair the seed,
The blossom must be wondrous fair"
All, woe, to lose the ample breath
Of the salt wastes! Toxee no more
The sacrifice OF morning burn
And blot the stars from shore to shore.
All, woe, to go into the dark!
Was il for this the buoyant slide
Up the steep surge, the flight OF foam,
The great propulsion OF the tide!
To lose the half.developed dream
Oiunknown powers, the bursting throe
OF destinies to be fulfilled,
And 20 into the dark-ah, wool
But the mold cloSel ABOVE Inc Scou
Relentlessly; and still as well
All life went oh; the warm winds blew'
The strong suns shone; the soft rains fell.
Whether he slept, or waited there
Unconscious. after that wild rang
Who knows? There came to him at last
sense as IL some sweet voice sang;
AS IT, throughout the universe.
Each atom were obeying law
In rhythmic order. In his heart
He felt the same deep music draw.
And one sharp thrill Of tinglng warmth
Divided him; as II the earth
Throbbed through him all her stellar might
With the swift pulse Of some new birth.
Up the long spirals OF his stems
What currents coming from afar,
What blessedness OF being CLOVIS
Was he blossom or star!
Wings like their own the great moths though
His pinions ripping on the breeze
Did ever kings banner stream
With such respondent stains as these'
Over what honey and what dew
His fragrant gossamers uncurledl
Forgotten be that seeds poor day,
Free, and part OF this high world!
A world Of winds, and showers aslant,
With gauzy rainbows everywhere,
Graded in silken sunshine, rocked
In skies full of delicious air
All, happy world, where all things live
Creatures of one great law, indeed;
Bound by strong roots, the splendid Tower
Swept by great seas, the drifting seed!
