Station that the day of costly silos is
past, and it is this fact alone which
enables the rapid extension Of this
system of storage. A wooden silo
keeps its contents with less loss than
a stone or cement one, chiefly because
of the penetration of air through
mortar and cement. A silO built in
dependent of the barn, having it's
own frame, roof, ETC., can be built
for 81 per ton Of capacity, if above
seventy-tlve tons capacity. If built
in the corner of the barn the cost of
material and labor will be about one
half that sum, but on most farms
where there is lumber, and where
much of the work can be done by the
farm help, this cost can be reduced
almost, if not quite, to an actual
cash outlay of $25.

Growing Confidence in the Permanently

R. c. Jenkins, one of the largest man
utacturers Of tin plates in Wales, is re-
ported as having concluded to move
his works to this country. William
Williams, the Welsh "tin-plate king, "
is also contemplating the same step.
There is just one reason to keep them
from coming. 1t was stated by the
London Economist some time ago
s'The recent pronouncement of popular
opinion in favor of the Democrats, u
said the Economist, sis likely, then, to
have the effect of preventing any great
movement in the direction of the es.

Of the ''reformers' ante-election
charges against the Mckinley law, and
It's rapid growth in popular favor since

THE DAIRY.
Pay as You Go.

The creameryman who goes into a
community and pays the cash for bis
milk just as fast as it is delivered at
his door, the same as any other bust
ness dOes-or ought to dO-will es-
tabliSh himself on a firm basis of es-
TEEN among the farmers, and will be
supplied with the best the dairy af-
fords, besides insuring the eternal
good of all the people of his neighbor-
hood. The farmer and dairyman
has to wait too long for returns. A
cash basis would benefit all concerned.
1t is easy to deride this idea, and
say that it is impracticable, chimer-
ical, ETC., but this does not make it
so, nor will it convince us that it is
so. Every line of business is hanging
too much on the farmers capacity
(now nearly exhausted for indulg-
ence, and it is high time for radical
change.
Pay as you go.

LIVE STOCK.
When to Sell Hogs.

When to sell hogs is a mooted ques-
ton among farmers.
One writer advises to sell hogs
when the most money can be got for
the least outlay.
The ups and downs Of prices we
cannot control, but by careful atten-
ton to the feeding and use Of scales
we can tell closely whether we are
making corn into pork at a profit or
not. If not, there ought to be a
change of ration or an immediate sale
of marketable stock. 1t doesn't pay
to hold beyond the time Of profitable
growth and fattening.
Most successful feeders believe it
pays best one year with another to
sell the pork when the highest point
in gain has been reached, letting the
question Of probable higher prices
alone. Corn used in keeping over fat
tening hogs will make twice as much
pork if given to other animals.
1t is a losing game to hold for an
increase of price as a rule.
Make all the pork you can out of
your corn in just as little time as pos
sible and then market to the best adj
vantage, is the advice of the Cincin-
natl Commercial.

der will almost invariably, If made
into butter, develop an offensive odor,
resembling decaylng meat. Such
milk is unfit for use. DO not feed it
even to pigs. Pour it on the manure
pile.
If man is a criminal who robs
your purse, in what category would
you place the one who rObS you of
that which is dearer and more precious
than money-your health? Look out
for the one who seeks to sell you any
of the so-called compounds that are
guaranteed to prolong the keeping
qualities of milk. They are slow but
sure destroyers of health.
SOME complaint is heard that the
dairymen who have had the milk
feature of the Columbian Exposition
in charge have dubbed four breeds
dairy breeds-and shut out the rest.
GuernSeys, Jerseys, Holsteins and
Ayrshire are the lucky breeds. They
must be rather eXasperating to the
ShOrthOrn men if to no others, in
view Of the position the breed has oc-
cupied in this country.

Here are some figures for the calam1-
ty howlers to wrestle with. They might
figure out from these how the tariff is
hurting "our dear producers" The
Economist gives figures on other goods,
but some of them are of trifiing import
ance, or are so different in price the
country over that the figures are not SO
significant. This may be said with re-
spect to some of the figures quoted
above. But it should be remembered
that they are general averages taken
from many states.
The interesting point about these fig
ures is that they show a decrease in
price on cotton and wooden goods, on
which the tariff was increased, and on
iron and steel goods, on which, in many
instances, the tariff was reduced. The
facts as to prices show that there has
been no increase on any highly-protect-
ed item in the tariff schedules except
pearl buttons. Here indeed is one item
over which the 'panicky" organs and
orators may find consolation and occa-
sion to grow lurid. Pearl buttons are
higher. Even tin-plate goods, such as
tin pans and tin dippers and the tin pail,
tie tin pail of commerce, the tin pail
into which calamity orators shed so
many tears last fall-the tin pail is
cheaper than ever. But pearl buttons
are higher!
This Is sad announcement. But the
compromising fact remains that the toiler
who wants pearl buttons on his good,
substantial shirt, can save enough on a
dollars worth of Mckinley sugar to buy
all the high-priced buttons he will need
in a life time

Harrison on TIn-Making.

PIrTsBuRG, Pa, Oct. 21.-I4ast week
w. C. Cronemyer, of the United States
Iron & Steel Tin Plate Work, at DENIM
Ter, Pa, sent to President Harrison a
box of tin manufactured at the DENIM
Ter works. This morning Mr.. Crone-
myer received the following letter from
President Harrison:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
d. c., Oct. 10, 81. W. c. CrOnemuer. Esq,
Demmler, P0.-MY DEAR SIR: l have
your letter of October Is and also box of
bright tin plate which you send as speci-
men of the product being turned out by the
United States iron & Tin Plate Company.
[ have no skill in determining the charac-
ter of this work; but, to the eye, 1t seems to
be eminently satisfactory, and thank you
for this evidence that q new industry has
been established in the United States.
! cannot quite understand how any
American can doubt that we have the
mechanical skill and business sagacity to
establish successfully here the manufacture
of tin plate. No other country certainly
surpasses us in the inventive genius OF its
citizens or in the business sagaclty
of its capitalists. 1t is surprising
to me that any patriotic American should
approach this question with desire to see
this great and interesting experiment fail
or with an unwillingnesS to accept the
evidences of its success. 1t will be great
step in the direction of commercial indie

should exist, and they should en-
deayor to promote each others inter
est. No portion of the cummunity
needs higher intellectual advance
ment and more refined culture than
the cultiyators of the soil. They oc-
cupy a proud, high, and honorable
position and they should make it
greatly sought after.
The youths of the country, instead
of abandoning agricultural pursuits,
should seek them and endeave to
make them source of profit and
give them high improvement. In
this way they will have culture and
refinement as well as health and
pleasure.
Let the intelligent, progressive, and
practical farmers in every nelghbor-
hood meet on some Saturday after
noon in every month to consult and
advise with each other. Let them
give in public meetings the results of
their experience, show how to in
crease the fertility of the soil: to
cause greater productions and to i'm
prove their live stock. These meet
ingS will become schools of inStruc-
ton. They will be pleasant and
agreeable, as we'll as instructive, and
will enable the farmers to get the
benefit of each others experience. [
know Of no better method the farmers
can have of improving the agri-
culture of the country and of making
it profitable as well as agreeable.
How could time be better or more de-
'Gghtfully spent than at these meet
lngs? They are not held for the pur-
pose Of advancing the political inter
ests of the men engaged in them, and
enabling them to get some office by
creating antagOnism between the
different classes of the community,
but their object is to advance the in
terests of the whole community and
to improve agriculture. None but
Intelligent, progressive and thrifty
farmers can be expected to take an
interest in these meetings. All such,
by uniting together and acting in
concert, will exert an influence, the
happy effects of which will be felt
throughout the whole region in which
they exist. If they need any pc
cuniary assistance to keep up the as
ISOLATION, it can be obtained by volun-
tary contributions made by the mem
bers at such times as not to feel
them.
