The construction of simple and econ

Hoard's Dairyman. A suitable size for
this silo is about 16 feet in diameter and
20 feet deep. The hoops are of five
eighths inch round iron, two at the bot
tom, then one two feet above, another
three feet above the last, and so on, the
spaces increasing regularly to the top.
Each hoop is in two pieces, and these
pieces are Joined In the rear just the

Growing Beets for Seed,

1t is never advisable to have extra
large roots Of beet or other roots used
to plant to grow seed from. These large
grown beets are necessarily planted
early, and they dry out during the win
ter, so that sprouts form, and the sub
stance of the root, on which the seed
largely depends, is injured. Beet seed
sown any time III August will give a
handsome, smooth, mediums sized root,
that may be kept until spring without
beginning to spreut. Such beet may
not give so Large crop of seed as does
the large, overglown beet, but it will
be much better seed to plant for crop

dition to the ration of hogs, according
to experiments made, the pumpkins be-
ing cooked in winter and fed with
shorts. The result was that the hogs
made greater gain than on any other
food, the quality of the meat was SUI
perior, and the cost was less than when
the hogs were fed without the use of

Give Weak Animale a CHANCE.

Separate the younger from the older
stock when feeding. The natural con-
sequence of promiscuous herding is
that the largest and strongest take their
by the weaker, whereas the best should
be given to the poorest in order to help
them to a condition of thrift and

A very important point is TO avoid sud

ice water, If plunged at once into hot
water will be apt to crack Use teplh
water, and the risk of breakage is
avoided. The sudden change from heat

The s.ute Mr.. Bruce.

The late Blanche X. Bruce was the
ablest and most eminent representa-
tive of the colOred race since the death
of Frederick Douglass He was an I'M
assuming, quiet, cordial gentleman,
who never forgot his dignity and never
intruded where his presence might be
commented upon, but at the same time
was approachable by and sympathetic
with the humblest negro in the land.
There was no more popular man in
the Senate when he was a member of
that body, and he left it with the re-
spect of every one of his colleagues on
both sides of the chamber. His views
upon civil rights and the ambitions of
his race do not conform with those
usually expressed by its leaders. but he
did not offer them in public for fear
they would arouse resentment and inn
pair his influence. He did not believe
in race distinction in any respect, and
when they proposed the negro build

made in direct contrast with those of
the whites. For the same reasons he
never advocated the appointment of
cclored men to office as q recognition
of race He held that they We're en-
titled to appointments on account of
their merits, and not the color of their
skin, and although he did not force
these views upon his colored follow
ers. because of their unpopularity, he
never failed to use his influence in that
direction, and of late has several times
, advised the President not to appoint
Colored men to conspicuous positions in
the South because it aroused animosi-
ties which did them more harm than
good. He always advised colOred men
against entering the learned profess
sions, because such a career is limited.
and thought they could do better in
mechanical industries and commercial
affairs He was n great believer in in
dustrial education and manual training.

MEXICO'S GOLD MINES.

CFrom the Denver Post.l
f. A Thies, of the State of Durango,
Mexico. is a guest of the Brown Hotel
Mr.. Thies is interested in a group of
mines considered TO be among the rich
est of the Southern republic.
The group, consisting of eight gold
properties, is located in the Fl Orc
district of Durango. They are owned
by syndicate of Americans, the gen.
eral offices of which are in Pittsburg.
The mines have been steady pro-
ducers for over hundred years." said
Mr.. Thies this morning. "A 1OOton
plant is built on the properties, which
are gold, and L presume are the larg-
est group in the republic. The ore is
neither high or low grade. The group
is ITO miles from the railroad, the only
communication with civilization being
by stage coach. We treat the ore at
the mines and ship bullion only. The
vein averages forty to sixty feet in
width and the outcropping is at least
five miles in length
The whole country is honeycombed
with holes and arastras worked by the
Spaniards 100 or 200 years ago. The
ardSIrdS are DufTO illlllS lOE CIuSAlilS-
The ancient Spaniards did not know
the use of powder in blasting. Even
the oldest inhabitants of Durango can
not tell how the mines We're worked
They had metal bars and long sticks
pointed with sharpened steel for dig
ging, and only the soft ore was taken
out They went down with straight
shafts and used fire and hot water
to cut through the rock. Some of the
shafts are very deep. but they could
not go beyond water. Their labors
ceased when the holes began to fill

nearly as old as Coneto, one of the old

group of mines has produced millions"
Mr.. Thies claims that Mexico is the
coming country for the young Ameri-
can who has capital. large amount
of foreign money is going into the re-
public and everything is as prosperous
as it can be The Mexican government
gives protection in every respect, and
even makes concessions to the [Or-
