at the time of the marriage. The re-

splendid scale, to which more than

nell station has lately issued a bulletin.
No. 1877, in which Professor Clinton
gives a full and detailed description
with many illustrations Of the manner
Of building a stave silo.
Among points of interest is the use
Of old barrel slaves to aid in maintain
ing a circular outline when setting up
the slaves of the silo. These are re-
moved before the silo is filled. For a
silo 16 feet IN diameter -four barrel
slaves have the right urv For a IL
foot silo the sugar barrel stave is well
adapted, while cement barrels give
good slaves for a 20 foot silo.
Two men work, one at the top and
the other at the bottom, to set up the
slaves Of the siio rapidly. AS Dol as
q stave is set in position 1t is toenailed
at the top to the n previously set.
One baxrel.stave reaches across y
al OF the silo slaves, to each Of which
Il should be nailed with a single nail.
One row OF barrel slaves is nailed near
the top and another near the bottom
Of the silo. Southern cypress Is called
the best material for a stave silo.
Sound hemlock, free from knots, Is the
cheapest satisfactory material. For q
silo II feet or less In diameter slaves
shcud be 2 by 4 unbeveled, not
tcnsued nor grooved, or 2 by 8 slightly
6eye3sd TO conform to the circular
shape Of the sfio. Where the diameter
OF the siio is more than IL feet, 2 by
e slaves are recommended, neither
beveied, tongued nor grooved, but sur
faced on the inside, and hemlock
should be planned on both sides.
