HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE.

If there is one man more than another who deserves praise for his efforts to provide homes for the people, it is War ren H. Lamson. He is constantly build- ing attractive dwellings and selling them on easy monthly payments, thus provid- ing way for the man of moderate in- come to occupy home at once and pay for it while enjoying the benefits of a home of his own. Two houses were sold last week by MT Lamson and two con- tracts for new dwellings were signed. In addition to this he has five other houses in course of erection. Home seekers should consult the home maker, Warren H. Lamson. His work in the past speaks his praise as we'll as those who have purchased homes from him.

HARVESTING SILAGE CORN.

The time is near at hand when an ear ly frost may be expected and before this comes the corn should be cut and put in the silo or in the shock. Should a se- we're frost threaten put on all hands pos- sible and cut the corn, laying it in arm- fuls on the ground. This will save it and it can then be put in the silo at ones ease. 10 save an extra hand or two we have often cut the whole field at once and put it in the silo in the next two days. This was when it was thought the silo should be filled as quickly as possible and then closed immediately, and we are not yet entirely convinced but that rapid filing has much to com mend it.
 Good results can be obtained by work ing steadily and putting in an acre or two of corn day, but not more than a week should be taken to fill silo. The corn can be handled much easier on wagons with low wheels than on high ones and some large farmers have wag- ons,, constructed purposely for hauling green corn fodder. The body of the wagon is hung between the wheels and about foot and half or two feet from the ground. Such wagon will soon pay for itself if one has dozen or more cows and practices soiling. The corr should be cut for the silo as soon as the ears are well glazed and we think it is 2 mistake to try and save any of the eart and dry them. They do not keep we'll more than half will be soft and mo)dy while if cut up with the corn they vii save with but little waste and make bet ter feed and at less cost than in any other way.
 As to putting the corn in the silt whole, instead of first running it througl a cutter, we are not and never have bee1 in favor of it. Green corn stalks at bes are heavy and awkward handling an when anyone tries to get whole stalks t the bottom of 16 foot silo, lay ther straight and stamp them hard to kee the air out, it is little too much lik work for lazy folks, and even those wh are not lazy. We can run corn throug cutter as fast as two men can take
 off the wagon, and the extra cost of tw men at the cutter and steam engine t run it is more than returned in the tim gained in taking out and feeding tn silage, to say nothing of the greate amount saved from spelling. Then, tot the cows will eat cut silage much clear . CT than whole stalks from the silo.
 In filling a silo the corn should b spread evenly and packed as hard a possible, especially around the edge and in the corners. A wooden stampe may be used to advantage in thes places, for it is along the edges ths most of the air gets down and spells tl silage. In round silo there are no CO ners of course, but in square silo the may be got rid of by setting up boar square across each corner and filling tf small air space behind it with sawdu T or charcoal dust. After the filling hs been completed a covering of two fe' thick or more of straw or old hay shoul } be put on or in it's stead may be use boards covered with few inches ( earth. After this nothing more need /. done until the silo is ready to opel

NEW PRESTON
A SITE SELECTED FOR THE PROPOSED
 HALL.

We are happy to state, this week, through the columns of THE BEE, that site for a village hall was purchased here, last week, through the efforts of Hon c. P. Lyman, by the secretary and treasurer of the New Preston Dramatic club, of Mrs Charles Carter. The site is located in what is considered the most desirable location here, right in the cen ter of this village, easy and most con- venient of access to and from, and it is designed to place thereon a building 40xS0, whereby good stage can be placed therein and also have seating capacity for 300 persons. It is hoped the building will be two story in height above basement, and in that case the basement and story above will be open to rent for business purposes, placing the hall in the entire upper story. MT Lyman is taking an especial interest in the consummation ofsthe entire plan, and giving much of his time to the consider ation and perfecting of the plan. He deserves the utmost appreciation and support of the entire community and all in this vicinity for his most commenda- ble efforts in this respect. It is now thought if subscription paper is circu- lated with what has already been raised, nearly enough funds can be obtained to erect and finish the structure. A small building which has stood at one end of the site and been used as an icehouse was removed, lastlWeek, by E. B. Hol- comb and ". Waldron, and placed on the north end of Mrs Carter's barn, leav- ing the space clear for the laying of the foundation walls for the hall.
