course consisting of two thickness
es of boards with tarrcd paper be
tween. Between these two courses
is an air chamber. The building
is as nearly air tight as it can be
made. Two heavy doors are
placed one above the other for use
in getting the silagc out These
doors are as thick as the walls Of
the silo, and are made to shut
closely, when they can be securely
bolted. There is a window in the
side of the roof through which the
silo is filled by means Of a thirty
foot carrier from the cutter, as also
two other hinged windows for ven
tilation for use while the silage is
curing. All your readers doubt
less know that the theory of the
silo is somewhat the same as in
canning fruit. All air is sought
to be excluded but, unlike canned
fruit, the mass of silage largely
seals itself by the action of it's own
heat, juices and gases.
1t is explained that silage keeps
because in this process of sealing
ing and curing all living organisms
are destroyed, and that such life is
always the cause of decay.
When the bins are full they are
covered with two feet of dry cut
straw or hay of any kind, and some
also cover with close boards and
apply weights. Our silo is in
tended to hold one hundred tons
of cut material. The cutter is an
"Ohio No. I6" capable of cutting
and elevating six tons an hour.
We use for power a ten-horse up
right boiler and engine. We are now
engaged in filling the silo with
corn and at the present writing it
is half full. We fill it at the rate
of forty-two-horse loads per day.
AS we have not this year sufficient
corn we shall add COW peas and
beggar weed, both of which are
nearly ready. Material calculated
for silage should not be fully ripe
or dry, but only we'll matured fod-
der should be used. The point at
which it should be cut is about
as the corn begins to dent in the
ear, or the kernel or seed of other
forage begins to form. If the sill
age keeps we'll it is used in the
winter season for the same pur-
poses as would the forage if used
in the condition in which it was
when put up. We intend to feed
ours to mich cattle and, to a linn
tied extent. to our mules. After
attempts to save forage
proftably by the usual courses ofdry
ing in the form Of hay, and after as
many failures because of rains and
the humid atmosphere of Florida,
we have resorted to the silo as the

ment that the court refused TO
participate as a body in the naval dem

Worlds Fair because those who arrange

The Supreme Court of the United States

ment of great Government, sitting en-
tirely apart 10 itself, but clothed with
far greater powers than either OF the

forwarding any measure. but its voice

preparing now a tariff bill for presenta-
ton to the extra session as soon as 1t
meets, so that Congress may go to work
upon It without the loss OF any time.
The argument used by those In favor
OF this last programme is that II 1t Is

the tariff and silver questions. II Is con-
tended that a well-considered and care

sent to the Senate. where II can be dis
cussed for five weeks. and passed before
the holiday recess. This is the argument
Of all those impatient to see the Nc
Kinley tariff duties repealed and done
away with as soon as possible. and the
majority of the Democratic leaders in
the West and the South are favorable
the 1st of February. so that the aew pol
icy OF tariff reform can be put into effect
before the fall congressional elections Of
"a take place.
The same mode OF proceeding is TO be
adopted towards the silver question. but
IL is easy to see that this vexatious prob
lem cannot be disposed of as readily as
the tariff, because there Is much more
diverse sentiment over 1t than the other,
and il will not be settled without hard
and bitter fight 1t is almost too much
to expect that 1t will be satisfactorily
settled between the LIST of September and
the 1st Of February, unless the great mis-
chief which the Sherman bill is now do
ing so opens the eyes OF the free silver
men as to induce them to materially alter
the opinion they have heretofore ex-
pressed.
1t is very important in fact. absolutely
necessary that both these great problems
should be solved at as early a date as
possible. but they will require n great
deal of discussion and consideration, and
those who advocate that they be rail-
roaded through Congress will not have
their wishes realized. Mr.. Cleveland and
Congress will both do what they can TO
redeem Democratic promises to the peo-
pie as fast as may be, but they will make
haste as slowly as wisdom shall die
tate.

sought to put poor South Carolina in

emptions which a self-respecting State
Is entitled TO. The supreme court quickly
disposed Of the sham, and notified Till
