A GOOD SILo.

To all intSnts and purposes a silo is
a great fruit can in which fodder is
preserved green, and as such it's walls
and bottom must be as nearly as posi-
bic air-tight 1T must be very strong,
and should be as durable and perma-
nent as any other farm building. If a
silo is to be built at all it should be
built right. A cheap silo, which wastes
20 to 80 per cent of the feed put into
1t, Is much more costly than one built
for twice the sum of money, provided
1t insures loss of no more than to II
per cent of what is stored in 1t. If you
are not able to build a good silo, do not
build any. To put little money In
poor one may be worse than throwing
it away. Silos may be built of stone,
brick, concrete, metal or wood, In eli
mates where there is no danger from
frost, there are many reasons for pre-
feTring stone, brick or concrete for the
walls of silos. At the present prices of
lumber, however, 1t can be used more
cheaply in most parts of the United
States than any other material. Were
it not for the expense of deep eXcava-
ton, and the labor of removing the
sllage when feeding, 1t might usually
be best to place the silo wholly or large
ly below ground, wherever the distance
to standing water in the soil is far
enough below the surface so as not to
interfere. In any case the silo should
be placed as deeply in the ground as
practicable.-F. II. King, Wisconsin Ex-
periment Station

TRIAL OF A DUELlST.
Mexican's Duty to Defend His
Friends Honor,

City of Mexico, Aug. 21.-The Veras-
tigui-Romero duel case came to trial
yesterday. The indictment charges
Romero with being the cause of Veras-
IiSul death ana being guilty of Vio-
ldllhS thaI section OF the penal code
lorbldding dueling, Romero alleged as
defense the duty of defending the hon
or as a man and soldier of mis- friend,
ana denied being the challenging party.
General Rocha, indicted for completely,
denied all guilt. Inc seconds also de-
MED guilt and alleged good character.
Romero went on the stand, denying
that Jealousy was the cause of the
duel, averring that Verastigui had ca
Illuminated his friend, General Con-
zales, Governor of OaXaca, and that he
mad felt impelled to resent such in
furious utterances.
The courtroom was again crowded to-
day. Col. Prida, editor of Universal,
testified at great length. He was not
an intimate friend OF Nerastegui and
became one of his seconds because the
latter had few friends in the city. He
tried to prevent the duel in all possible
ways, and finally, finding 1t inevitable,
endeavored to make the conditions
hard, with view to inspiring the in
tending combatants with the idea that
II would be well to bring the matter
to head. Nerastegui had desired pis-
tots. as II was said he was a good shot
and did not like sabers. Verastegui
told the witness the case was really
about woman.

JAMES c. CARTER,

The National assembly of the Ameri-
can Bar association, in Detroit, which
opens August 2Sth and will be in ses-
sion one week, will bring together
large number of the famous lawyers of
the country. James c. Carter of New
York, president of the association, will
preside. Mr.. Carter was born in Lam
caster. Mass. October IA, 1927. He was
educated at Derby academy, bingham,
Mass. and at the Harvard Law school.
and was admitted to the bar in 1853
Faithful study, hard work and natur-
al talent for the law soon placed him on
the high road to success. His fame is
now international, and he is recognized
as one of Americas most talented and
learned lawyers. The most famous case
with which his name has ever been
connected was the Alaska seal contro-
Versy between Great Britain and the
United States.

THE SPRAYING QUESTION.

In the Semi Weekly Tribune of the
18th, Mr.. Lovesy presents a rather
strong argument against early spray
Ing. We think, however, his conciu-
sions are not justified by the reports of
the best entomologists of the country.
Individual experiences do not count
for much with the public, particularly
If that experience extends over only one
season, or, at most two. The expert
ment stations of the country which
have been investigating this subject
carefully and impartially for number
of years are practically unanimous in
the opinion that spraying for codling
moths should begin as soon after BIOS
soming as possible. our spraying law,
as far as we can learn, has done splen-
did work this season, and Mr., LoVesy,
1t seems to us, is not loyal to the fruit
interests of the Territory in the atti-
tude he assumes.

CALIFORNIA GOLD STRIKE.
In the Orc Grande Mine in San Ber-
nardino County.


The desert mining country to the
north of San Bernardino (Ca!) noun
tains is the scene of gold strike that
puts in the shade any ever made IN
California. For some time past the
mining in that section has appeared
somewhat dormant to the unobserVlng,
but nevertheless the miners were stead
lily at work boring into the bowels OF
the earth to see wat they might un-
fold. 1t came in the shape of very
great surprise, for at ORC Grande ore
was struck at the depth of 200 feet, in
lodges varying from one to four feet
in thickness, that fairly dazzled the
men, and showed that the CARBONATE
mine was one of the richest in South
ern California, or, for that matter, in
the State.
Specimens of the ore We're brought
to San Bernardino by Judge N. l.. Nor
row of orc Grande, the recorder tor
the district. They are fairly loaded
with gold; the precious metal shines
from every crevice in the rock Speak
ing OF the discovery, Judge Morrow
said:
~ have been in the mining business
for many years, and have travelled this
State from Siskiyou to San Diego, but
never have L seen such mine in all
my travels"
What is the value of that ore?" was
asked.
"Why, it is the richest ore discovered
in California, and will go all the way
from $500 to $4,000 in gold, not count
ing the silver and lead ore that is right
beside It,"

great execution among the grasshop-

recently described in The Tribune. Four
hundred of them We're at work in two
counties of that State. The State
makes the machines at a cost of $780,
and gives them to farmers in infested
regions. Each machine caught, by ac-
tual measurement, from two to six
bushels of grasshoppers. and killed ten
times as many more that would jump
into the oil and jump out again to die
very soon. This work had the effect of
saving the crops in the infested regions,
in all about seventy square miles.

OUR NATIONAL BIRD.

Our real American bird is the turkey,
and lordly fellow he is when arsFyeti
in all his pride. But though he has not
lacked advocates, he is not likely to
take the place of the eagle in our ma

When 1t comes to merit of the high
est order, the finest of all birds beyond
comparison is the hen. 1t adds to he
wealth Of the country every year in
eggs alone $1S5,000,000, or about the
combined value of our output of iron
and wool.
The hen In England is a great inst1-
tuition, and yet that country imported
22,000,000 worth of eggs and poultry
last year Nobody ever complains CT
an overproduction Of eggs, and they
are a cash article. But no political
economist has ever thought the hen
worthy of scientific consideration.

BRAINLESSCRlME,

The latest burglary mystery Is not a
mystery at all. The police believed 1T
was and they were unhappy. Their
hands are pretty full of unexplained
mysteries already, and they did not
want another. The critical reader may
ask how mysteries could be in the
hands of the police, but If he knows the
Brooklyn police he will not ask any
such foolish question. The detectives
unravel mysteries by main strength
and foolishness rather than by the use
of their minds. Everyone knows how
easy 1t is to unravel a tangled cord by
taking hold of one and pulling. That is
the way we unravel mysteries here
with the hands. But the police are
happy because Herbert Mcconnell, the
clerk who was found bound in Win
dolph's drug store in Flatbush avenue
has confessed that he let fellow clerk
tie the ropes about him and pound his
face black and blue so that their en-
ployer might believe that 1t was out
side burglars who had robbed the cash
drawer rather than the clerks them
selves. The brilliancy of McConnelIs
intellect is not dimmed by the brill
liancy of the police intellect. When
Mcconnell is released from prison at
the end of the sentence which he Will
surely receive, he could make a living
in dime museum as the champion fool
of seventeen counties. Men and women
who have robbed a house in which they
lived have tied their own hands to lead
the owners of the property to believe
that some other person was guilty of
the crime, but it is a long time since
any one consented to be beaten by a
partner in crime for the sake of d.
verting suspicion. That is what Nc
Cornell consented to. We should like
to get full confession from the other
clerk before forming final conclusion
on the motives which led to the rob-
berry. 1t is possible that the other clerk
was a man of brains. 1t may be that
he had grudge against Mcconnell and
wanted to give him good thrashing
without running any risk OF physical
harm himself. 1t is possible that he
proposed the scheme of robbery for the
sake of getting the opportunity OF
bruising Mcconnell Il is easy to I'M
agine the glee with which he sent his
fists flying about McConnells head
after the latter's hand were tied. The
police should concentrate what little
brains there may be in the detective
force and see If they cannot discover
the grudge which would induce the I'M
harmed clerk to assault his fellow en-
ploy ee.-Brooklyn Eagle.
