Queer Logic.

Rsv. Swenssn, president of Bethany
college, Lindsborg, Kas., writes to a
prominent suffrage woman that he
thinks the action of the women ut the
dangerous and ungodly Populist con-
vention proves them to be too much
lacking in stability of character to be
permitted TO vote on any but sduca-
tional and moral questions. Does the
reverend gentlemen think educational
and moral questions Of so little impor.
tance that the qualifications required
FOR voting on them are Of less impor.
tsuCe than is required in voting on the
amount Of dog tax, or whether John
Smith or Bill Jones will make the best
constable or roadmaster?
VerilVl the logic Of some men is fear

House association last Thursday 10 assess

meeting with She success chat was prom ised
for it. Tt Is stated on the best Of authority
that the sudden visit Of MessEs. King and
Williams to the national capitol is made
upon prearranged plan for a conference,
having for its purpose the urging upon
President Cleveland the necessity for rails
funds for government purposes by the i'm
mediate issue Of 100 million dollars Of
bonds. They want this amount TO be at
once issued in what are known as revenue
bonds, OK, Rs they are designated in Lon
don, exOhequer bills. II is argued that as
soon as the tariff bill is disposed of and
goods begin 10 come out Of bonded ware
houses she revenues will again be ample TO
meet expenses and then these bonds can be
paid off. In other words, il will provide an
easy plan Coz tightening Che great burden
and enabling the banks TO make use of
their bullion reserves. II is felt by bank
ers chat il che mission of Messrs. King and
Williams succeeds il viii lead TO the issuing
Of big amount Of governments. There is
here also, growing feeling in ban king cir
Oles in favor of an issue which shall appeal
TO the public instead Of to the bankers
alone, There was cautious expression of
opinion to-day by several bank presidents
shat the gold assessment which they had
paid would be the last. The banks re luc-
tanCe TO pay more gold, il is stated, is said
to be due to q desire TO force the govern
ment TO another bond issue, and thus give
chance for getting good interest for their
idle capital.
That's right, get some bonds OF lesser
denominations 80 the people can invest,
something the farmers, who will soon be
marketing their 40 cent wheat, can in

The Benefits Of a SiIo.

ED. PosT.-"Did you build that
silo? How do you like it, and what
are its advantages 2"
These questions have been asked
me dozens of times by farmers over
awide section Of the county. have
asked the same questions and was
very thankful for all the information
| could obtain on the subject, and
would state that | had never seen Il
silo, OF talked with farmer in per-
son who had one. My information
was all obtained from John Gould,
of Ohio, and Prof. Cook, of Mich
igan.
Ny silo is built in the hay-mow. l
might call it balloon frame. the
studding are simply white pine poles
l6 feet long-squared on one side
and placed II inches apart from CEN
ten to center, spiked on wall-plates,
sunk even with the ground, and the
plates are resting on fine gravel
stones. The plates are painted with
gas tar to keep from rotting. The
first course of lining is of rough oak
boards put on cross-ways on these
boards is placed tar paper and given
good lap.
On this paper is put good flooring
4 iinches wide and l6 feet long. This
is put on vertical. The whole inside
is then painted with gas tar. The
silage is fed from the top and while
in course of construction a doorway
must be sawed through the rough
boards about 6 feet, on level with
the ground, and then let from to
3 feet stand and cut another door
way above that. Place the boards
all back again, nailed slightly, and
covered with tar paper. When ready
to feed remove board at time OF
as fast as it is fed.
No floor is needed. A good lime
stone clay will answer very we'll, but
it must be well drained. The fod
der should be cut fine-the finer the
better it will pack.
= In looking over the papers that
read find those who put in whole
corn,all complain that it gets mouldy
While filling tramp corners and
sides thoroughly, centre of silo will
settle without tramping. One OF
my mistakes was at one corner and
at the side of the feeding alley ]
failed to tramp sufficiently and al
the places it was a little mouldy
about inches of fodder, but not
all the way down, and when cut il
may have been rather dry owing tc
the dry spell-not having moisture
enough to heat it sufficiently. But

on the whole ] am very well pleased
with it and think every farmer would
be the gamer by having a well filed
silo.
It's advantages are You can keep
nearly double the stock-three tons
of ensilage are equal to two tons of
timothy hay. You can grow from
10 to 20 tons an acre, and by manur-
ing you can grow more. 1t should
be planted about inches apart in
the row if drilled and one grain and
rows 81 feet apart, and each stalk
should have an ear. But do not go
TO extreme and SOW the corn, for
there it will develop to much acid
and be sour silage. The cattle will
eat il, but will not be so nice as
sweet smelling silage. Those far
mers who sell hay, what n grand
thing it will be for you Cutting
corn into the silo does not add any
| thing to the fodder ut all. Science
informs us of the wonderful food
value of old dry and hard corn stalks,
+ as compared with ensilage but of
what earthly use is this information
to us if the old cows can't be made
to eat them 1t is folly to starve
them down to eating such fodder ;
1t neither makes milk nor beef very
fast. The best illustration that can
be given is this Let them try stew
ed dried apples or peaches with
such fruits well preserved by can
ming, or try mess of dried sweet
corn with one of canned corn. We
cannot tell why the dried apples, or
peaches, or corn are inferior to the
canned goods, but that they are is
shown in every grocery store in the
land. The chemist will find every
thing in the - that 70 The other
except water.
/ would like to see the cream
cry at the west end of the county
prove n success, but / am afraid
they will not have sufficient milk to
run it with success, but if the farm
ers would adopt the silo they could
flood it with good milk. In conclu-
sion l would say, study this matter
well, think over it, and if you build
sllo and make mistake don't con-
denim the silo but find where you
made the mistake and correct it.
When the good wife of the house
fails in canning any kind of fruit she
tries it over and does not condemn
the whole process. The men who
condemn the silo are such who never
saw one and who do not care to
learn and get out of the old ruts.
Who needs the silo All farmers
who raise stock. Horses love it,
young calves thrive ON it. Horses
must have something fed in connec-
tion with silage as it loosens the
bowels, while in cattle it does not
have that effect. You can raise your
colts much cheaper, you can fatten
your steers much cheaper, why :
Because you can raise this fodder
on less ground then you can any
kind of hay.

Tho majestic step, the bold look, the
grace and strength OF the lion have
obtained for him the title Of king Ut
the bea ts. He is greatly indebted to
the Imagination OF the poet for the
noble qualities he is supposed to pos
sess. He is, though capable of graft
tnda toward those from whom be has
received kindness, often t~reacherous
and revcngeful, and Doctor Living
stone considered him an arrant cow
ard.
The story, however, which we are
about to relate describes his better
qualities. A lion was kept in the me-
nagerie at Rrus els. The animals cell
requiring some repairs the keeper led
him to the upper portion OF it, where.
q ter Playing with him for some time,
they both fell asleep. The carpenter,
who was engaged in the work below,
wishing to ascertain whether it vas
finished as de sired, called the keeper
to inspect what vas done. Receiving
to answer, he climbed up, when seeing
the keeper and lion thus asleep side by
side, he uttered a cry of horror.
His voice awoke the lion, which,
gazing at him fiercely for a moment.
placed his paw on the breast Of his
keeper, and with a look that seemed to
say, He is in my care now, and touch
him if you dare" he lay down to sleep
again rs though nothing hal occurred.
On the other attendants being sum
moned, they arou ed the keeper, who
on o, ening his eyes appeared in no way
frightened what had occurred to
give Ii fellow attendant so much un.
easinesI for the sa,cty Of his life, but
taking the paw o. the lion in his hand,
shock it and quietly led him down to
the lower part of tie den, which had
by this time been satisfactorily COM

Many soath Dakota Feemsfs csttlne tko
Crop for foddsf.
The following summary ID from rs.
ports from f~orty-six South Dakota
Counties, sent to the United States
Weather Bureau at Huron, giving
crop conditions for the week just
closed:
The weather during the week has
been exceedingly warm except in the
o northern c0untieA Showers fell
owe the east central portion OF the
state and portions of the Black Hills
on the 9th, 10th and 11th, but we're too
light to aid crops, except In Black
Hills, grass for pasture and potatoes
deriving the most benefit.
Harvesting Of wheat, oats and bar.
ley is completed over most OF the state,
the yield being diminished considera'
bly, by Smelling Of the grain due to
high winds. T~hreshing Is advancing
rapidly and will probable be complet.
ed by the last OF August.
Corn is beyond recovery; farmers
are cutting 1t with the header and
binder for fodder. As the hay crop 10
dried up and very light, except in the
runs, winter feed for stock depends
largely upon the cut OF it.
Some potato vines are drying up and
those that are not can be greatly bene-
ted by rain and chances for q fair
crop east of the Missouri River, except
in the southern counties, where it Is
almost q complete failure, will be ia
vorable. Portions Of the Black Hills
will produce q large crop If frosts dc
not occur. Heavy rains fell in por-
tions of the east central counties On
the 18th, which will greatly relieve
pastures and aid fall blowing and pos.
sibly some flax.
