OUTDOOR ROUND sILO.
Neatly and Chenply Constructed and
So Designed That 1t Can BE
Moved Easily.

We recommend the round stave silo,
because it is easily and cheaply con-
structed. Timbers of the silo will dry
out, the silage will be perfectly pre-
served, and the silo can be taken down
in an hour and moved any distance and
be set up again. 1t is not necessary to
take any extra precaution in this eli
mate to keep silage from freezing. Sill
age is not injured by the frost when
only a two-inch stave protects it from
the weather.
A silo constructed in the manner
shown in cut is doing good service on
the bluffs above Cayuga lake, in Tomp-
kins county, N. Y. We visited this silo
during the extremely cold weather of
the winter of 1s9s-1S99, after the ther-
mometer had been 20 degrees below
zero. The silage was frozen to a depth
of IL to IA inches around the outside.
Each day, when throwing out the feed,
the frozen silage around the edge was
mixed with the warm silage from the
center, and at feeding time it was all
in good condition. The silage was
not all fed out until June, and that
which had been frozen around the
outer edge was as good in every way as
the rest. With the stave silo no sillx
are necessary. The foundation may be
constructed as follows:
An excavation should be made to a
depth of three or foul inches, n to
the bottom of the loose surface soil.
and with q diameter at least two feet
greater than the proposed diameter OF
the silo, and drainage should be pro-
vided if the conditions seem to var
rant. Fill in with stones, large ones
being placed at the bottom and small.
er ones being worked in and pounded
down toward the top. Gravel, if we'll
pounded down, may serve as filing be-
tween the stones. 1t is important that
the pounding be thoroughly done, 9th
erwise settling will take place later on
and the cement finish be made to crack,
The finishing should be done with
cement. First a thin mortar made oil

ment and four parts of good sharp sand
should be poured over the entire stone

DEATH IN THE MILK.
by the Score Arc Murdered
Every Year Through the Use of
Representatives"

Recent reports on the use of pre-
s~eryatives in foods tell of a case of an
Infant whose chief food was milk, says
the New York Farmer. The infant was
sick, and the physicians, after investi-
eating everything else connected with
1T, turned to it's food. AT once they dis
covered that the milk fed to the unfor-
tunate child was preserved" milk, that
is to say, milk in which an unscrupu-
lous dealer had put boracic acid to
"keep it sweet" The adulterant made
the milk unfermentable, of course, and
it also made it absolutely indigestible.
The milk could not sour. Neither
Ecould it be digested by the unfortunate
Infant.
This is a typical case of the danger
GUS effects of representatives. in food.
That infant was being murdered by de-
grees. The man who placed the pre-
kservative" in the milk was committing
murder, and committing it for the
basest of all base motives, the motive
of gain. How should the public re-
gard a dealer who would thus endanger
the lives of his patrons children? Could
any punishment be too severe for q
crime of that kind? 1t is to be feared
that a thorough investigation in the
Etowns and cities would show that very
many deaths Of infants are directly
due to the use OF adulterated or pre-
Served" milk, doctored cream, and
other monstrosities.

Il THE UDDERS.
1t Is the First Step Toward Securing
an Absolutely Uncontnminatcd
MIX supply.

To secure the milk without contami.
nation is a problem which is practica!
ly solved by washing the cows udders
before milking them. If clean, pure,
sweet dairy products are desired one
of the first and most essential consid-
erations in the process is to get n
milk without contamination.
OF course many will question the
sanity of a farmer-dairyman who il
seen with buckets of water and neces-
sary cloths cleaning the udders of his
cows. This is to be expected. But let
it be reported, if anyone finds pleasure
in circulating the rumor, that the I'D"
der-washing farmer is slightly off
and has cranky ideas" Just keep an
eye on him and it will be learned that
his butter and cream are bringing
fancy prices and go into the kitchens
of the well-to-do town and city people
Moreover, if investigation is made II
will be discovered that the excellence
of his dairy products is due largely to
cleanliness.
If cleanliness is practical while miIT
ing, the udders of the cows washed be-
forehand, it is very probable that IL
will be observed in the subsequent
handling of tho milk. 1t is right al
ways to begin at the beginning, and to
wash the udders is the first step to-
ward securing uncontaminated milk.
This is done with milk-warm water,
end the udders are dried with absorb
f,an towels or cloths. The milk drawn
first should be rejected as it contains
bacteria which have developed in the
milk at the oriice of the teat since
the last milking. This is "extra work.
but it pays.-Farmers' Voice.

Took Him Down,

A former commodore captain of a, famous
transatlantic line, while friendly and polite
to his passengers when below, was very
much the reverse if approached when on
duty. As he happened to be on deck one
fine afternoon, a lady, quite unaware of this
popularity, accosting him with some triAing
query as to the probable duration of the
favorable weather, was both surprised and
indignant to get CURLY answered:
Don't know, ma 'am-don't know. Better
go and ask the cook"
The lady, though taken somewhat aback,
was quite equal to the occasion, and re-
joined:
"Oh, l beg a thousand pardons. Excuse
me, pray. I thought 1 was addressing the
cook!!'-Collier's Weekly.

MANILA COLLEGES,

There are several colleges here Ia
Manila managed by the different cleri-
cal orders. but none which win compare
with even the second-cass colleges OF
the United States. Each has a long
list Of studies In It's curriculum, but as
to practical education aloug modern
lines IL Is unknown. one of the largest
colleges. ST. Thomas Is older than any
college In the United States. having
been founded az least ten years before
our Pilgrim Fathers landed on Ply
mouth Rock ST. Thomas belongs TO the
Dominican frlars, one OF the richest
Of the clerical organizations. and one
which has caused vast deal Of trouble
IN the Philippine Islands. The D0mini-
cans also own the college Of San Juan
de Ietran. which was founded In the
middle Of the seventeenth century. II
was at this college that Agunaldo was
educated. but he does not seem TO have
carried away pleasant memories OF his
school days for De has been one Of
the chief enemies Of the friars ever
since his graduation.
In addition 10 these institutions Is
the college of so Joseph founded by
the Jesuits I'm 1901 and then endowed
with three professorshins by the king
OF Spain at $1,000 each There are also
schools for girls here taught chiefly by
the nuns. such as the colleges of Santa
Isabel Santa Rosa and la COncordla,
so that so far as name Is concerned
Manila has had no lack Of educational
institutions. although there is probably
not city OF its size In the world so
wanting IN educational advantages Of
real value.
