BARN SILOS.
Two Effective and inexpensive si1os

respondent, who tells boW Ii accom-
plishea the matter: | have two small
siloS. one holding 10 and the other CD
tons. iaise aud put into these siios
on an average 80 tons of ensilage each
year and find that this amount will
carry II COWS for six months. The
smaller of the two silos was erected II
years ago and is still doing good serv-
ice. The other one was built eight
years after. They were put up for a
cash outlay of less than $50 each. Most
of the labor was done by myself on
days when it was too stormy for out
side work.
The silos are built in the ends of two
BAYS in the barn. The barn is old style,
with no basement, the thrashing floors
being raised about Az feet above the
level of the ground. In building the
silos a trench two feet deep was first
dug under the three stills and across
the bottom of the bay. This trench
was filled with small field stone well
rammed. A two foot wall of larger
field stone laid In mortar was built on
top of this and well cemented under
the stills. 1t was only necessary to
erect studding for one wall, using by
10 plank II feet long, that being the
height of the barn posts. The frame
of the barn surrounding three sides of
the bay Joined the other walls. I'm
planed spruce boards were nailed up
and down on the frame inside and out.
Tarred paper was then tackled over
this course, tapping the paper six inch
| es A second course of boards was
then nailed on, taking care to break
Joints. This made four courses of
boards and two layers of paper on each
WALL e, counting the inside and out
side of wall.
A beveled board one foot wide was
| then nailed up and down the inside Of
each corner and the space behind filled
with sawdust. The bottom or floor
was dug out saucer shaped Six inches
of small stones were then put over the
floor and rammed solid. Coarse, clean
/
gravel was next tamped in until the
spaces between the stones were thor
oughly filed, and finally an inch Of
best Portland cement was then put on
and foated off smooth. The cement
was made with sand. four parts of the
latter to one of cement. The door was
made 80 inches wide and extended
from plate to barn floor, the latter be-
ing four feet from bottom of silo. Two
cleats were nailed on inside of door
! jambs from top to floor, and door sec
tons were made of two thcknesses of
boards to fit in the grooves made by
! the cleats. These sections are put in
as the silos are being filed and tarred
paper is tackled on the inside and the
silage thrown against it.

MEDICAL CORPS GOING
TO THE FRONT OF WAR.
TWELVE MEN TO GO BY THE
SIAM FROM HONOLULU
TO MANILA.
Are the Philippines or China Their
Real Destination? Ready to GO
Anywhere for Country.

Twelve experience men of the United
States army medical corps will, it is
expected, leave ON the transport Siam
now in the harbor, for Manila, this
week
The men that go are Joseph g. Nc
Williams, the steward; Charles G.
Stark, the acting steward, together
with Wesley 2. Brewer. Frederick
burst, Lewis d. Harp, Benjamin
Franklin Kelly, h. f Haskins. F.
Mclaughlin. Frank c. Parker, William
T. Thorp, g. W. Martin and Solomon
Sternfield.
The steward, McWilliams, will go
from Camp Mckinley. Charles G.
Stark, the acting Steward. goes from
the U. s. army hospital up Nuu-
anu valley. Both these gentlemen are
graduated physicians, were such in pri-
vate life, and are in the army at this
time from motives of patriotism and to
gain experience. The rest are all ex-
perience men, who have had special
training in the hospital service. Many
of them, like Mr. Thorp, were about to
leave the service, that is. suing for a
discharge, when orders to go into the
field were received. They had gone
into the service to see actual duty
aud the probabilities are that they will
be accommodated now. They are cor
respondingly happy.
These medical department men are
ordered to Manila, by the transport
Siam or first transport that may ar
rive. They go fully equipped for field
service. which means that they will
carry overcoats and heavy clothing
generally. Each man will carry the
usual hospital pouch, with emergency
remedies, haversacks, spoons, knives
and so on.
All this leads TO the suspicion that
they are intended rather for China
than Manila and the boys think so
themselves. They are not exactly
anxious for China at once. but would
prefer TO see Manila and then on TO
China
This contingent is comprised of
good. sober men. Some of them are
old soldiers and all have as much as
eighteen months TO serve, so they will
not have TO be discharged as soon as
they arrive at destination.
In speaking of them, yesterday, Chief
Steward William Herbst, a veteran
himself, said: They are fine fellows,
the very best. perhaps, that could have
been chosen from the service. They
were for that reason selected for this
special service. They were all. save
