Tell the sawyer what sized silo you

attempting to stop up the cracks with

shrinking and swelling. When filled,
we wish the silo to swell some to aid in
making tighter joints; and then, when
empty, we want it to shrink so that
moisture cannot collect between the
slaves and rot them out. The coat
ing of tar on the inside, applied after
the hoops are drawn up tight, is entire

Hot tar is very penetrating, and will
find its way into every crevice, thor
oughly excluding the air. Whether it
will last longer, or be more effective
than when thinned with gasoline, can
not state. There can now be purchased
in the market, tar paint ready for APP
plication. In our experience with this,
the man who was painting the interior
was twice overcome by the noxious
gases, and was compelled to leave the
silo. Gas tar may be purchased very
cheaply, and when heated slightly
makes very efficient paint. Trinidad
asphalt may be purchased for about
three dollars a barrel. This, if used
alone, is SO brittle upon becoming hard
that it soon cracks and is worthless.
Mixed in the proportion of nine parts
Trinidad asphalt to one part of gas tar,

ton for roofs, stable floors or silos.

PRIsoN.LABoR PROBLEM.
How to Avoid Competition between Con-
vinf and Eraa L. har.

How to Avoid Composition Betweeq Con-
yict and Free Labor.
The prison-labor problem presents
difficulties at every turn. The aboli.
ton of the contract system of dispos-
ing Of prison labor was undoubtedly a
wise step. but it by no means effected a
solution of the problem. The compe-
tition of prison-made goods with the
product of free labor is a bad thing,
vet it must be remembered that the con-
victs can scarcely be employed at all
outside labor. In the nature of things
this must be SO. If the conyiets werr
not in prison they would be at worl
outside competing with other laborers
Seeing the demoralizing effect upon Tbs
market of prison-made goods. leaders o,
organized labor have asked that con
viets be employed in making goods for
Use by the state and its political sub
divisions. In accord with this sugges
ton, which has decided merits. Gov
Tanner has recommended that convict
be employed in making text books for
use in the public schools. And, patpr
ally enough. though certainly incon
sistent. at meeting at which the gen
eral policy of employing prisoners il
the manufacture of goods for the STATE
was commended, the particular PROPOSE
ton to employ them in making tex
books was condemned by the represen
tation of the printers that was in at,
tendance. This episode serves to illus,
trate the difficulty and complexity of
the problem. and should inspire in all
spirit of liberation in considering the
subject.
The only way prisoners can be EN-
ployed without competing directly with
free labor is to put them to work on pub
lie improvements that could not be con
strncted for years to come but for the
utilization upon them of labor of this
sort. In this way there may be secured
improvements of inestimable value for
all time that the public might not have
felt warranted in constructing under
other circumstances. There is no doubt
that good roads would be worth almost
any amount to a community. but it is
practically impossible to get taxing
bodies to take from the people the sums
necessary for their construction. Maxi
ing of good roads would be in many re-
spects ideal employment for a portion
of the states convicts, and the PROPOSE
ton so to employ them has been revived
in New York. The chief objection to
the plan, peculiarly enough, is senti-
mental one. 1t is argued that the pop
ular sense would revolt at the sight
of convicts under guard at work in the
presence of the public. This objection
has some weight, but it should not b.
made to appear insuperable.-Ch Chicago

Sugar Feet PRODUCTION.

There is a growing iaterest ip sugar
beets among our farmers, and there are
many statements about sugar beet pro
aactieR, some of which ought to be taken
with several grains Of allowance. AS
The National Steehwap says;
In the first place beets containing q
profitable proportion of sugar cannot be
produced on all soils Further, if they
could be there is no market for them
unless factory is at hand. A sugar
factory is expensive. costing 5000, goo
and upward. Unless capitalists can be
induced to establish such factory there is
no use in farmers undertaking to raise
sugar beets as money crop, It is all
right to experiment, and, if conditions
are favorable, to do everything possible
TO enlist capital in the enterprise. Such
action might be of great benefit ulti-
mately, but those who expect early re-
tpras from sugar beets in the absence Of
factories will be disappointed. Better

be demonstrated by the fact that the
counties having the best roads will
maintain them at less cost than the mud
roads. with all their inconvenience,
are maintained in their wretched condi-
tiop. The work required by law of
asIe-bodied men, together with the
road tax. gives to the road supervisors
of our state the expenditure, in money
and labor, of a vast sum. Much of this
is wasted by reason of incompetent
management. The railroad tax foI

is made out of traficipg in this road tax.

forming, the manner of their execution
needs revolution. When competence is

passed the plate. Then another shot
was taken at it to ascertain the power
required to perforate the plate. This
was accomplished only by giving the
shot the high velocity of 1885 feet per
second and even then the plate was not
cracked.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


The travelling dairy schools of Can
ada have done splendid work in rails
ing the grade of butter in that coun
try.
Brine sailing of butter is wastefu
and inaccurate. The most satisfactory
way is to salt on the butter worker
weighing both salt and butter.
The power to consume, digest and as
simulate nutritious food is what is de-
sired of the COW at maturity; and to
receive this the calf must be well fed
An old lesson, not yet well learned
is to have good ventilation IN the milk
room, clean floors and walls, and to
harbor nothing which will produce bad
cdors.
The best product from dairying
comes from the manufacture of gilt
edged butter for private customers

sELF-INFLATlNe TIES.

Ema1tsA Invention of More Than Orr
binary Interest to Wheelmen.
Promise of great additional comfort
to the energetic wheelmap is found in
an ingenious arrangement brought out
by an English inventor, who claims to
have a self-indating tire. Instead Of the
usual endless tube which is common to
all or most detachable tires, piece OF
tubing of about half the diameter and
twice the length is employed. This
tube DIS coiled twice around the wheel in
direction opposite to that of its rota-
tion, and each of the two ends taper to
q point, where it is sealed. These ends
overlap one another to the extent of the
tapering, and SO fill up the space. A
valve of the ordinary kind is fitted near
one end of the inner tube, and the first
coil occupies q position in the hollow of
the rim. This part of the tube is thin
ner and of smaller diameter than tho
other half, which is coiled outside OF it
and is situated Immediately beneath
the thread of the tire. An outer cover
Of ordinary character and attachment
is used.
The great feature Of this tire is that
it is self initiating; in other words, by
the operation Of riding and the pressure
exerted upon it. there is drawn in
through the valve a sufficient amount
of air to keep the tire up to a normal
state of imitation, even though there
may be slight punctures in It which
permit the air to escape The auto
matte initiating is performed as follows:
If the tire Is empty or has little air in
1t, the weight of the rider and the ma
chine congresses the tube, more es-
pecially the bore of the f11ir1er part w.
ing in the rim, to the end of which the
valve is attached. This part is fiattened
under the pressure, and as the wheel
goes around the pressure travels along
it, leaving behind vacuum into which
the air flows through the valve. This
operation goes on until the tire is fully
inflated, being renewed at every rev
olution of the wheel. The ingress of air
follows the fattening of the tire, maxi
ing the imitation OF the tire an auto
matte process.

TIME TO SOW CLOVER SEED.
An Advocate For Early Sowing Gives
Reasons For This Practice.

An Advocate For Early Sowing Gives
Reasons For This Practice.
The unusual success that followed
sowing clover seed, early and late and
under all conditions, will cause many
to be lax and careless this spring. As q
rule sowing is more apt to be too late
than too early. Tt is too much the rule
to SOW to miss the freezes and take the,
chances against the drought, when it
would be much better to make the great
est effort to escape the damaging results
from drought. At least this is the opin
ion of an Ohio Farmer correspondent,
who makes these statements;
It is the almost universal plan to sow
with some grain crop, more commonly
with wheat, sometimes with rye or oats.
As a rule the results are uncertain il
sown with the latter crop If the oats
are sown for full crop, the shade will
be too dense for the clover It was dem
onstrated last year that it was not
necessary for the clover to have a pro-
tecting crop. Only from the practice of
sowing with other crops could have
come the belief that sheltering crop is
necessary.
Some years ago, working under the
belief that freezing was the greatest foe
to success, we waited till we could har-
row the wheat This usually could not
be done till in April. Sown before or
after the harrow work we were almost
sure to get good catch. But we too
often met with loss before the droughts
of summer were past. With this kind OF
sowing we soon found that we had no
assurance that we could continue reg
/ ular unbroken three year rotation. FL
nally we learned that under proper con-
ditions Of the soil it was possible to
have almost universal success with early
sowing. For IA years we have made it
study to know these conditions. While
our success has not been as complete as
desirable, still the failure has not been
such as to cause us to break our rotation.
Here in southern central Ohio we sow
the last half of February or the first
week in March, on wheat Of course.
When it is sown at this time, we never
expect to harrow before sowing. We
aim to select q morning when the
ground is honeycembed with frost. Usu-
ally on such morning the ground viii
begin to thaw before noon To get the
work done while the soil is in the most
desirable condition it must be done rap
idly The machine we use sows breadth
| of 80 feet at a round
The point aimed at by early sowing
| is to get the seed as thoroughly covered
as possible. In this condition it will
pass through short warm spells and not
be sprouted. When well covered, it will
not sprout till settled warm weather
comes. Three years ago the hard March
freeze destroyed great deal of early
sown clover A good growth of wheat
and rye was sufficient protection to ours
to save us a fair stand, yet it would
have been profitable to have given q
light reseedjng. But as this Is the only
time we have in our experience met dis
.aster from early sowing we shall con-
HnHe tbe practice. A second advantage
from early sowing lieg in the fact that
the seed being covered, the roots are
deeper, and consequently the plant
stands drought better.
