"a The silo was circular in shape and
built Of pine slaves six inches wide and
two inches thick, which had been
beveled at the mill for the purpose. The
foundation was Of concrete, and upon
this the slaves were set. The circular
form was obtained by simply mailbag
barrel slaves ON the outside to hold them
in place until the hoops could be put
ON. The use Of barrel slaves in this
manner saved the making Of a frame
around which to build the silo.
The hoops or bands should be Of gal
vanized iron, the size being about one
half inch in diameter, and these should
be put on at . distance Of 8 to 819 feet

IrraRnfanI Orchard.

Q. @. Geirgeson, writing from Kan
sas to Prairie Farmer, says:
Experience has proved that fall and
winter irrigation is very beneficial to
orchards. Fruit growers In irrigated
districts are almost q unit on this ques-
ton. A good soaking in winter enables
the trees TO make q vigorous start when
the growing season sets in and supplies
the soil with moisture sufficiently to
maintain the growth during the greater
part Of the summer. OF course the wa
ter should not be applied until after
growth has entirely ceased in the fall
and the wood has properly matured. II
applied too early in the fall, it may
stimulate to late growth, which will
prove disastrous to the fruit crop.

apart, one being placed within Is inches
Of the top and bottom Of the silo. The
method of keeping these bands tight
and of taking up the slack due to the
shrinkage of the slaves is very simple
one. Pieces Of we'll seasoned oak, by
inches by about 4 feet long, have
holes bored through them for the inser-
ton of the hoops. Large nuts with wash
ers are put on the ends Of the hoops, and
then by simply Tightening these nuts
the silo can be kept tight, and as shrink
age progresses the slack can be taken up.
If when the silo is filled the moisture
causes the slaves to swell, we may loosen
the nuts and prevent anything from
breaking.
To hold the slaves in place during the
summer when the silo may be empty
one may use large staples such as are
employed in the construction Of barb
wire fence. These staples should be
driven in so that they will overlap the
crack, one prong being inserted in one
stave, the other prong being inserted in
the adjoining stave.
The doors may be constructed in the
following manner: Pieces similar to the
felly Of a wagon wheel are nailed to the
outside Of the silo between the bands {;
! then with saw set at bevel the door
is sawed out so that it can be removed
only from the inside. A space three feet
wide will usually be found large enough
for the door. The cut made by the saw
at each end will permit the insertion Of
q piece Of tarred paper when the door is
put in place. The sides of the door may
be planed off slightly so that paper may
be put in to make the opening alright.
All the doors needed would probably be
secured by cutting out the space between
every second hoop. A silo 80 feet high
and 30 feet in diameter would hold
about 1873 tons of ensilage. Country
Gentleman, authority for the foregoing
illustrated description, tells that this
silo was set up in one day by two men.
| Experiments With Oats.
The experiments with oats recorded
| in an Illinois station bulletin seem to
indicate that within reasonable limits
thickness Of seeding has little influence
upon yield, with q preference decided,
thong h slight, in favor Of az bushels
per acre; that from different thickness
Of seeding the yield Of grain and it's
weight per bushel are quite independent
Of the ,.eight Of straw; that the most
favorable time for sowing is the very
last of March, with tendency favoring
an earlier date; that yields Of grain and
straw from seedlings at different dates
ductuate more nearly together than do
those from different rates Of seeding;
that comparatively shallow seeding is
necessary; that maximum yields may
be- had with medium weights Of straw.

never been a I6 to I or any other
kind of a free silver paper. It
has advocated more liberal treat
nent of the white metal, but
has never favored independent
financial experiments. 1t op-
posed Dolph on account of his

cause of his financial views, al

SILVER REPUBLICANS.

The San Francisco Call has
some very sensible remarks on
the attitude of silver men to-
ward the republican party. 1t
says:
The Call is itself a staunch
advocate of the reconciliation
of silver, and as such can with a
full sympathy appeal to the sill
yer republicans to stand firmly
by the republican party at this
juncture. 1t is clear the main
issue of the campaign will be
that of protection to American
industry and American wages
against foreign competition. The
voice of the people i'll calling for
the nomination of Mckinley
called for protection. There is
no appeal from that demand. We
cannot make an issue other than
that which the people have made.
Those who have suffered from the
hard times of the democratic de-
preston need work and wages to
maintain their homes, and who
shall say they are wrong in put
ting that need first and foremost
before the country and forcing it
to an immediate issue?
"There is in fact every induce
ment to the friends of silver to
stay with the republican party
and fight out the battle of pro-
lection for workingmen in this
campaign. By such course they
will have the protectionists with
them when the time comes for
them to settle the silver question
on its merits. Let us fight one
battle at time. Teller and his
friends will see their mistake be-
fore long. Free silver can gain
nothing by an alliance with free
trade. Now IS the time for all
Americans to stand by the party
which, as Senator Thurston said,
has "a deathless loyalty to all that
is truly American and a patriot
ism eternal as the stars. "
