E5 TO The SILO.

.Suctical Men Claim That 1t Has Como to
20 Stay.
Beyond peradventure, many practical
men have been turned against the silo
On account of the palpably absurd
claims made for it by enthusiasts in the
1rst glow of success over it. That its
merits have been exaggerated does not
idmit of controversy, and the explana-
ion of this is found in the universal
manifestation of poor human nature to
stretch the facts just little when it
discovers that it has finally got hold of
good thing" with which it took up
not little dubious of the outcome. 1t
IS asking the exercise of considerable
;redulity on the part of the average
human mind to believe that more
:an be taken out of pit than was
put in and sealed over, and yet
that was practically what farmers were
asked to believe by not few siloists
when their paroxysm of fever was at its
highest point. Naturally skeptics were
developed all over the country, and the
Gazette is clearly of the opinion that
these same extravagant claims, made
30 freely in the early stages of the silo
Infection, retarded not little the prog
ress of this most valuable means of for
age preservation in the minds of the
people. But unfortunately cooler heads
came to the rescue, and the enthusiasts
were "called own effectively by sci
entists and practical men to whom the
public lent an attentive ear, and as
time progressed the real facts of the is
sue were evolved and the claims of the
silo reduced to a reasonable basis, since
which time it has made the most rapid
progress in the esteem of thinking, in
estigating agriculturists. Much has
been learned; much remains to be
learned, but among the demonstrated
facts is the fundamental one that the
silo has come to stay.-Breeders' Ga

A. N. Lockwood, president of an ac-
cident association in New York, says
that since the accident companies Of
fered an indemnity of s., 500 for the loss
of a hand or foot there has been great
increase in the number of accidents to
the left hand, so many, indeed, that it
was found that people were manning
themselves to get the insurance.
Finally the companies were forced to
offer less sum for the left hand than
for the right, since which time there
has been decrease of eighty per cent.
in this variety of accidents. Now the
companies contemplate eliminating the
leg and arm indemnity clause from
their policies for self-protection. Mr..
Lockwood says there are more insur-
ance cripples in the country to-day than
war cripples.-Chicago Times

TRANSFORMING TREES.

Two Ways to Perform the Operation
Easily and Safely.
Many and various are the reasons for
transplanting large trees. Many per-
sons desire to remove from the forest
to their own grounds trees of twenty
or more feet in height for farming, new
ornamenting, screens or shade. Trees
of more than four inches in diameter
should be removed with ball of earth
attached. This operation is easily and
safely performed in two different ways,

Ford's court this morning. The cases
OF the jockeys only had been under con-

to make itself clear on tho validity OF
the ordinance under which they were
arrested, and which prohibits racing
and gambling within 400 feet OF the
West parks and boulevards. Attorney
Hull, for the defense, had made the
point that the arrest OF the jockeys had
been illegal, rs no authority to enforce
the ordinance or arrest q violator is con
tained in the ordinance. The jockeys
were dismissed.

a New Plan Suggested as n Measure of
Economy,


a New Plan Suggested us n Measure Of
Economy.
To he Editor n he Ia;digener.
Sin:--Therc seems to DO 4 disposition
in certain quarters 10 rush the city into
very heavy expenditures in connection
with our city water works, without due
deliberation and withou. fairly weigh
Ing all OF the considerations entering
into tho case.
l understand 1t to DO tho intention TO
entirely abandon tho old reservoir and
to pump the entire water supply Of the
city into the new one on tho top OF the
hill.
1t seems that tho present machinery
is not strong enough for this work,
hence 1t is proposed to provide now
machinery and new power house at II
cost supposed to be ut least $4,000.
Now, before this expenditure Is en-
tered upon, the inquiry is pertinent:
Is there any necessity for pumping all
of our water supply to the height OF
the new reservoir? Atlcast ninely.iive
per cent. OF our water consumption can
10 satisfactorily supplied from tho
level OF tho old reservoir, rs II Is now
supplied, then why should our Water
Board want to arrange to lift this
nincty-iivc per cent. of our water sup
ply one hundred feet higher?
If this is done, in addition to the first
cost OF tho new machinery and new
constructions, it will permanently in
crease the expense OF operating the
works to m extent approximating to
the increased elevation to which tho
water is raised, TO do this will show
M astounding lack OF scientific judy
mcnt and must be characterized as Il
colossal blundcr.
1t is alleged that the old reservoir is
too small 10 hold n day's supply spf
water. So it is, but there is nothing to
prevent its enlargement to any re-
CURED extent. This can be effected at
= fraction OF tho cost required for carry
ing out the proposed plans, to say moth
ing Of the saving for all time in pump
ing expenses.
Let the Water Board give full consid-
Grafton to tho plan OF enlarging the old
reservoir, and OF placing auxiliary
machinery near it, to pump into the
new reservoir whatever water may be
needed to supply through an indie
pendent system OF pipes those WHO re-
side ut too great an elevation for the
water OF tho old basin to reach them.
