CONSTRUCTION OF siLOS.
Opinions Expressed in a Bulletin from
the Wisconsin Station.

Opinions Expressed in Bulletin from
I the Wisconsin Station.
The points here given are based upon
the extensive investigation Of Mr.. F. M.
King, of the Wisconsin station, who ex-
amined ninety-three silos. As result
of his observation and experience, Mr..
King believes that the silo should not be
less than twenty-four feet deep and eth
er round or as nearly square as practical
BILE, because "these forms give the great
est capacity with the least amount of
side exposure" In the construction of
silos careful attention should be paid to
the area of surface exposed in feeding
the silage. Silage wastes much more
rapidly when fed from the sides than
from the top, and hence it follows that
the feeding should be in general from
the top. The proper horizontal area Of
the feeding pit depends upon the amount
of silage fed daily. and the rate at which
the silage becomes seriously injured
when exposed. The spelling is certainly
more rapid in the shallow than in tho
deep silos, and more rapid when corn or
clover is put in whole than when cut, be-
cause it is impossible to feed the surface
down as evenly and keep it as smooth.
The authority quoted says that the
silage should be lowered at least two
inches daily, and that three would be
better. Taking three inches as the
depth fed daily, forty as the number of
animals, $50 days as the feeding period
and 1.5 cubic feet as the amount fed to
each animal daily, round silo 17.5 feet
inside diameter and 81 feet deep would
be required. The same conditions would
also be met by round silo % feet in
side diameter, "a feet deep, with parti-
ton through the center.
Where all the silage can be fed con-
veniently from one point, and large
amount must be stored, one silo with
partitions is not only much cheaper but
better than separate structures, for the
round silo with partitions makes less
corners than the rectangular ones do.
Two wide thicknesses of boards with
paper between them make better parti-
tion than the Pinch plank, which appears
to be more commonly used. AT present
prices there is no material which can
compare with wood in cheapness of first
cost, and if mode of construction can
be devised which will insure perma-
nency to the framework and at the same
time give an effective service of say ten
years to the lining, the essential demand
of material for silo building will be
met by it. Only sound and well seasoned
lumber should be used.

Light Brallma Crosses.

Where size and hardness are required
the light Brahma is unexcelled. 1t has
many advantages over some breeds, and
breed which often debar it from some
yards. 1t is safe to say, however, that
Brahma chicks are more easily raised
than any other. and if they are fed with
Judgment it is not often that the hens
are excelled for laying. The Brahma
has small peacomb, which is d partial
protection against frost in winter. and it
is also aided by heavy featilering. AS
a bird adapted to confinement it is ex-
cellent, for it cannot fly over a fence
three feet high and is contented in dis
position.
Its faults. according 10 Farm and Fire
side. authority for the foregoing. are leg
feathering, lack of breast meat, clumsy
aptitude to fatten. Its propensity to
easily fatten 3 desirable characteristic
if hens are intended for market, but
when Brahmas reach maturity they are
liable to become too fat as layers unless
carefully fed. and but little corn should
be allowed them for that reason. When
crosses are made with the Leghorn male
and Brahma hen the pullets so procured
are excellent, being good foragers and
layers, but the males from the cross are
worthless except for the market. A
cross of Indian game male with the
Brahma hen produces fine table fowls.
The pure bred Brahma males are excel
lent for improving common focks. both
in size and egg production.

This Office has been favored with com.
plete catalogue and price list of the Ever.
green Nurseries, OF Evergreen, Wis. This
nursery is we'll known throughout the west,
having been many years established. The
proprietor, Mr.. Geo. Pinney, has probably
distributed more evergreens and forest trees
through this state than any other man in
the country. Although he raises 'and sells
millions of forest trees annual 2, his spe.
cialty is evergreens. He plants hundreds of
pounds of the seeds every year, and now
has nearly three hundred varieties on his
lists, fully equalling the largest nurseries
in Europe, which supply the nurseries and
parks of royalty. Of course, having such a
large trade and growing them in such large
quantities, he is able to give better prices
for the same quality of trees than any other
nurseryman in the country. 1t is we'll
worth the while of any person to send for
his lists.

Prevention of swarminp.

No practical method has been dis
covered for either preventing or control
ling natural swarming. We have been
told of the queen restrictors, of clipping
the wings of queens or the Jump"
method, and how swarming is prevented
by extracting from the brood chamber.
etc. All these have some effect in re-
tarding and preventing the issue of a
natural swarm, that of extracting from
the brood combs being the most effec-
tual. When an apiary is worked for
comb honey it is not advisable to dis
turb the brood nest. A colony seized
with the swarming fever will surely
swarm, even though there is an unlimit-
ed amount of surplus room in the hive.
It is when the bees have this fever that
a method for prevention of swarming is
needed.
The queen trap is the only thing that
will serve the apiarist when he has bis
hives all equipped with sections, and is
either away from home or very busy.
If not ready to attend to hiving swarm
when one issues, it will not be necessary
to do SO if there is a trap on the hive. If
a swarm issues from hive provided
with sections, the combs ought not to be
disturbed for three days, at which time
the queen cells should be removed, and
the queen that came off with the swarm
-47introduced. Any other queen will do
as well, and can be safely given the bees
If change of queens is desirable. No
swarm will issue from that hive until the
next season.-American Apiculturist.

Two Cabbage Heads from One Piar


L. A. Root tells in his Gleanings how
to do it. He says: Set your Jersey Wake
field on the richest land, and when the
heads are ready to sell cut out the head,
leaving all the outside leaves attached to
the stump: that is, cut out the head SO as
to have no leaves to strip off and throw
away, for the leaves are all left on the
stump. Now keep cultivating these
stumps along with the other cabbages
that have not yet headed, and very soon
small heads will start out on the stump.
Pull off all these little heads but the best
one, and this will soon make a head as
good as and maybe better than the
first one. presume this is not new to
many of you, unless it is the picking off
of all the little heads except one. These
second crop heads will, many of them,
mature SO late that they may be win
tered over in the usual way

Since last Friday the Central Park police
have been seeking clue that would lead to
the detection OF the persons who painted the

Friday morning It was discovered that some
one had daubed green paint on the Sir Walter
Scott and Beethoven statues. Then they had
turned their attention to the Terrace bridge.
tho flag polo on the ball ground. and the
pedestal OF tho Schiller statue. The deco
rators had evidently done their work In
hurry. Here and there appeared hasty daubs
OF paint On the base q the Beethoven statue
the word "hurrah" was painted in large green
letters. Sir Walter Scott had received a lib
eral share OF the artists work on the lapels
Of his coat. The paint was still wet and was
removed without much trouble from the
statues. Several large stains still remain on
the pedestal Of Beethoven's statue. however.
The depredations OF Thursday night had
not been confined to painting tho statues.
Late on that night Waterman Mt the me-
nagerie discovered that the lock on the fox cage
had been forcibly broken. and the door OF the
cage left open. OF the four foxes confined in
the cage three had made their escape. The
fourth. on account OF an injury to its hind legs.
was found shiverng in one corner Of the cage.
