We are of opinion that if the silo is
to be built in some building already
upon the farm that there will be no
economy in the round, over the so uare
silo on account of the space that will
be wasted. The common and proba-
bly, the most economical method of
building silo is to utilize some part
of the barn by enclosing the amount
of space needed with double boarding,
placing tarred paper between the
boards. The frame to which the boards
are attached may need strengthening
in order to stand the outward pres
sure. If a silo is to be built outside an
existing building, the round silo may
be preferable. This can be made of
slaves or inches thick, beveled to
suit the curve and surface on the in
side. They should not be tongued and
grooved but treated to some asphalt
paint on the inside before the silo is

he DID NOT HA We 1T.

William Lightfoot tells this charact
eristic story of the Hon. Isaac Parker,
famous as the terrible judge at Fort
Smith, Ark, who probably sentenced
more men to be executed than any
other judge that ever lived. This was
not, however, because he was SO un
relentingly severe, but because he
had the hardest and most numerous
lot of criminals to deal with that ever
came within the Jurisdiction of such
an official. One day when there was
an unusually large batch of criminals
to be sentenced, the judge looked
compassionately over his spectaoles
at one young scamp and said:
In consideration of the youth and
inexperience of this prisoner I shall
let him off with fine of $50
Before the judge had done speaking
the very fresh young man coolly
stretched his right leg and ran his
hand into his trousers pocket on the
side, remarking as he did so:
That's all hunky, judge. I've got
that much right here in my jeans.
And one year in the penitentiary,
continued the judge. Their, looking
over at the convict in quizzical sort
of way, he added. Do you happen to
have that in your jeans?

OUR FARMERS.
PLANT SMALL FRUIT

Every cultivator of the soil should
plant various kinds of small fruit.
Their cultivation is not difficult, and
their value as food and as a means
of making variety for the table are
items that should not be lost sight OF.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
says that ground that has been in
corn, beans, potatoes or some hoed
crop and kept free from weed seed IS
to be preferred, and if is in good filth
and a reasonable amount of care given
one should meet with some success.
Strawberries, raspberries and black
berries may be planted in the and be
ready to give a crop of fruit the next
year. These may be planted to suit
the fancy of the grower, but where
the horse can be used the rows should
be 81 or feet for strawberries and
6 or for blackberries.
Strawberries should be set Is inches
apart in the row, and should have Gull
tivation enough to keep them per-
fectly clean. This should be shallow
as their roofs are close to the surface.
A garden rake is often sufficient to
break the crust which forms after
shower, and this not only kills the
weeds but preserves the moisture.
When large fine berries are wanted
hill culture is to be recommended, and
the runners must be cut off. The mat
ted row, II or Is inches wide, does not
require so much work, and will fur
nish nice fruit and plants also If want
ed for future sitting.
When winter approaches the mulch
should not be neglected. This may be
of straw, leaves, cornstalks or any
coarse material that is free from foul
weed seed. 1t may be placed quite
thick between the rows and enough
over the plants to just about cover
them. We want to protect them but
do not smother them. 1t is the freez-
ing and thawing that does the damage
to the plants. When growth starts in
the spring enough should be taken
from over the plants to let them
through and the berries will have a
nice clean place and be kept free from
dirt.
After the berries are gone the mulch
may be removed and cultivation re-
sumed.

TO ROAD COMMISSIONERS.

In accordance with the highway law
of 1898, suggest: That all roads ma
cadamized not less than s inches
thick, or otherwise built Of stone not
less than one foot thick; gravelled
roads in clay soil or on sandy roads or
hemlock, tamarack, cedar or chest
nut logs, not less than u inches in di-
ameter, and covered with not less
than inches Of gravel; or by lower
ing or filling to make a better grade;
will be held to be permanent road
work under provisions of the law of
1898.
The macadamized roads are the best
and where town is building such it
should proceed with the work under
the law Of 1898.
The commissioner recommends
stone or gravelled roads where ma
cadamized roads are not feasible. If
the gravel is spread evenly, SO that
when rolled, it will not be less than
inches deep, and rolled thoroughly, it
makes very good permanent roads,
but it should be carefully kept in re-
pair.
All permanent roads should be fin
ished not less than Is feet wide, and
should be so graded as to descend
from the center to the gutter, at least
1-2 inch to the foot, and more on hills
so that the water may quickly leave
the surface.
All culverts, on roads built under
this law, should be built Of stone, iron
or tile. Under the provisions of sec
per cent. highway tax can be used for
repairing or rebuilding bridges, Gull
verts, or approaches thereto, exceed
ing four feet span.
The commissioner recommends sur
face drainage by means of cutters and
such occasional culverts as the sur
face of the land renders necessary.
You should consult with the select
men of your town before beginning
any work on permanent roads, as to
the location of your work, the best
material to be used, having reference
to your location in the state. and the
nature Of the SOIL
By section 3 of the highway act of
1898, this money can be used only on
the main thoroughfares Of the several
towns, and with the approval of the
selectmen You will be required to
make a detailed report to the State
! Commissioner, giving the location of
your work and an account as to ex-
penses of material and work, sworn
to, on blanks which will be furnished
you.
You will have to procure the sigma
lures of your selectmen to an APPROX
al printed on the blanks.

A coroner's jury delivered the fol-
lowing verdict on the sudden death of
a merchant who had recently failed
in business: We, the jury, find, from
the new DOCTORS statement, that the
deceased came to his death from heart
failure, superinduced by business
failure, which was caused by specula-
ton failure, which was the re-
suit of failure to see far enough
ahead

Often when the dairymen is rushed
for time on account of the pressure of
other work, he allows the fresh cow
to go without the ordinary care and
feed until the rush is over, expecting
to make up for his neglect BY good
treatment when he is less hurried. 1t
is a great mistake for him to do SO,
for if COW starts with low or mod
crate flow of milk and is not immedi-
ately brought up, no amount Of care
or feeding afterwards will succeed in
securing her best yield.

ONE OF DEWEY,S GUNNERS.

John B. Anderson, as fine speci-
men of an American tar as ever pull
ed LANYARD, stepped off the train
from San Francisco at the Broad st.
station a few days ago, after three
years and eight months service with
the Asiatic squadron. He was cap
tain of gun No. 5, United States cruis-
er Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flag
ship. He is six feet tall and weighs
21O pounds. To reporter who saw
him at his home he said:
admiral Dewey is just my idea of
what an admiral should be. [ was on
the same ship with him for ten months
and I will tell you just how he ap
peared to his men-that is the Jack
tars commonly known as the Jack
ies.' The admiral was a strict man,
with keen sharp eye that seemed to
size up person or situation in a
moment. He seemed TO know every
thing that was going on around him
and would Jump a man as quick as a
flash if he made mistake. Tt did not
matter whether it was an officer or a
seaman-he would overhaul any one
regardless Of person if things did not
go just right. Whatever he did was
done with dignity though, and never
saw him angry but once. 1t was on
May 2, aboard the Olympia, the day
after the battle of Manila, Capt. Cog
Ian of the Raleigh brought Spanish
officer on board, and in little while
the three men were engaged in rather
a warm discussion. [ did not know
what it was about, but the admiral
soon began to talk rapidly and ex-
citedly. At last he stamped his foot
and said, loud enough for us all to
hear, IF you find he has been acting
treacherOusly, take him away and
hang him!' meaning the Spanish Of
fcer. We all thought that it was in
connection with supplying am NUM-
ton to Corregidor after the truce had
been declared, or rather, after we had
licked the Spaniards. However, we
afterwards learned that the man was
not hanged.
1T said that Admiral Dewey was
strict. Well, he was, even to the
smallest details. Whenever he pas
sed along the deck we saluted him,
which he returned with scrupulous
care, saluting with the same slow,
precise and deliberate movement
which he expected from others. There
was no quick jerk or half recognition
about him. Whatever he did he did
it as if he meant it, and whatever he
wanted he wanted it done right. The
men liked him for his frank manner
when dealing with others. He would
not take a bluff from anyone, and ev
eryone knew it, Or they soon found it
out if they attempted anything Of the
kind with him. Nothing inspires re-
spect for ones chief like the belief
that he is absolutely seifreliant, and
this is just what we all felt about Ad
miral Dewey, that he was equal to
any emergency.
