Measurements show that since 1891
the water in Clear Lake has lowered
nearly twelve feet. It has been steadily
disappearing each year since that time
although previously it had raised some.
In the sixties it was much higher than
it has been at any time since. At one
time the water nearly reached the road
on the east side.

prevent such q result, and in round
silos built With a frame the lining with
la and without has a similar effect.
The advantages of the stave silQ over
the round frame silo are so clearly
drawn that it would probably be safe
to predict that the former, though Of
more recent Introduction, is likely to
almost entirely supersede the latter.
1t is more simple in its construction
and can tie built more economically
than the other form of round silo. 1t
is easier to exclude the air because Of
the opportunity that is always present
to tighten the hoops when neceS-
sary. 1t is believed that decay will
be less rapid in the stave silo. Elk
perience has already demonstrated that
the frost will penetrate a round frame
silo much more easily than one made
of slaves. The ease with which frost
penetrates a round frame silO unless
provided with ample lining is a decided
objection to the same in a cold winter
climate.
The stava si1o may be located within
or without. although more commonly it
is placed outside of the stable or barn
Sometimes it is located in one corner

The character of the foundation for
the stave silO should be determined
largely by the character Of the soil and
the size Of the silO. Stave silos have
been placed on the surface of the
ground without any excavation what
ever other than that made by removing
a few inches of the soft surface soil.
But in such instances they have stood
on q double thickness of bricks laid
first in mortar and then in cement.
The mortar below should rest on bro
ken stones or gravel This plan would
seem to answer where the soil is per-
fectly dry and the silO is of moderate
dimensions.
The stone foundation should not be
less than two feet broad and should
come up several inches above the sur
face of the ground. Flat stones are
preferable to round ones, but round
ones will answer. The wall may be

OF Tippe died Monday afternoon at
his home on Page street after having
been confined to his bed for several
months with complication of kidney
trouble. His health had not been good
for many years and he spent the greater
part of the last two years at his resi-
dence, being able to come down town
only when the weather was exceptionally
favorable. Lately he grew worse rapidly
and yet the end came quite suddenly as
he was out of bed just short while be-
fore he died. Funeral services were
held at the house Wednesday afternoon
at o'clock, Rey Towsley officiating.
The deceased is survived by wife and
one daughter, Mrs Lynne Carr.
A three-year son of Mr. and Mrs
James Parr of Oregon, was killed on the
Northwestern tracks Saturday near that
place. The child had fallen asleep on
the track at point where there was a
curve SO that the engineer could not see
the boy until nearly upon him. The
Parr home is nearly quarter of mile
from the railroad track and the boy had
wandered away from the house. His
mother went in search of him, and
reached the scene too late to save him,
but just in time too see the engine strike
her boy. The train was stopped and the
trainmen picked up the mangled re-
mains and took them home, doing all
they could to allay the grief of the
mother.

The Man Who Takes In the Milk.

The man who receives the milk is in
the most responsible position in the
management of the whole concern,
whether it is a creamery, a cheese
factory or a milk shipping station, says
V. NJ. Couch in The Creamery Journal.
The place requires that a man should
be patient, Of quick perception, pleas
ant and a good judge of milk in it's
various conditions, and that he should
have the nerve to reject all milk that
is not fit for family use or suitable for
the manufacture of first class butter
or cheese.
Thoroughness at the receiving can
places a man on the road to success in
the work that follows A man NAV
the cream and churn it properly, but
if he has overlooked his work at the
receiving can he will probably have
difficulty in turning out a fine article
of butter. If his creamery apparatus
is not kept in first class condition and
is unclean, the operator should not ex-
pect too much polish from the patrons.
The man who weighs or measures in
the milk should train himself to de-
tect the flavor Of different kinds of
feed and grain and also weeds.
Some men can turn out a better
article of butter or cheese from poor
milk than others can, but all can make
better goods from first class milk, and,
generally speaking, creamery men are
altogether too lenient in accepting milk
that is off favored.

Green Alfalfa For Cows.

During the summer Of 1899 the Kan
sas Agricultural college fed ten head of
COWS on green alfalfa for a period Of
"a days. During this time they receiv-
ed 77,145 pounds Of alfalfa and 1923
pounds of corn and Kaffir cornmeaL
On account of other experimental work
it was impossible to retain the same
field of alfalfa through the entire pc
riod, and consequently we could not
measure the area used; but. figuring
on the basis of dry matter produced
and comparing it with the amount pro-
duced by an average yield of four tons
of well cured hay per acre, we find
that it took 2.97 acres to keep ten COWS
"a DAYS During this time these COWS
yielded $500 worth Of butter fat and
skimmilk. The grain cost S1O.65. This
leaves S7504 to be credited to the
green alfalfa, amounting to $1.95 per
ton, or $3.50 per acre. Green alfalfa
is relished by the cows, and field can
be kept in good condition for feeding
during the whole summer. Where pas
turage is abundant it will doubtless
not pay to feed green alfalfa, but
where pasture land is scarce or the
grass becomes short or dry green alfal-
ia furnishes an excellent feed and will
not only keep up the flow Of milk for
the time being, but will help materially
to maintain a large flow through a
longer period Of lactation. Pasturing
alfalfa will sometimes cause cows to
bloat. We did not have a single case
of bloat from cutting alfalfa and feed
ing it green.

! BUILDING THE SIL0 J;
Professor Shaw FavOrs Slaves
and Describes the Proper 4
Foundation.

When all the conditions are favor
able for locating the round silo, that
form of silo should be chosen, says Pro-
fessor Thomas Shaw in his new book,
Issued by the Orange Judd company.
1t is more cheaply built than the square
or rectangular silo, since it requires
less material whether built of slaves
or otherwise. Even when built with
frame there is much saving in stud,
ding material, because of the less size
of the studs used. The circular form
is much more favorable to the even
settling Of the silage, and therefore

White Spots In Butter.

A correspondent writes us that he
had a Jersey heifer the butter of which
was Injured by white spots, supposed
to be due to minute clots of curd, says
The Rural New Yorker. The condition
was remedied by giving every night
one-half tablespoonful of cooking Soda
We have submitted this to Professor
Law of the New York State Veterinary
college, who says If the white spots
PLANTATION can be made Oh a purely
chemical basis The most common
cause Of CLOTHING is the development of
acid in the milk and the presence Of
an excess Of salts of lime. The lime
salts especially determine a frmness
and insolubility in the coagulum. The
giving of bicarbonate of soda ia small
doses tends to increase the secretion
from the stomach and thus to improve
digestion, assimilation and secretion
including the condition Of the milk
The increased secretion from the stom-
ach implies a greater flow of hydro
chloric acid, but in the presence of soda
this is soon resolved into chloride Of
sodium, or common salt, which is no
longer acid. The surplus soda salt cir
culating in the blood and secreted with
the milk to a certain extent bars the
early formation of acid in the milk and
the resultant souring. Again, the soda
has stronger chemical affinities than
lime and tends to take to itself the
acids that go to make up the salts Of
lime and thus to diminish the amount
Of lime present in the milk and the
tendency to firm CLOTHING. Even sup

finds it's proper home in a sour (aciO
medium, and the increase of the aka
line soda, by hindering souring, would
for a time keep the medium in a con-
dition in which such germ fitted for
acid media could not grow.

Foreigners Afraid to Buy on Account

A leading cheese exporter who is
quoted in the Boston Transcript states
that the total production of cheese in
this country at the present time is fig
ured at about go, 100000 pounds annu-
ally and that we export about 10000
GOO pounds of this amount. He figures
that the home consumption is about
26O,OOO,OOO pounds, including about
100000 pounds of foreign cheese
that is imported. Ii these figures are
correct, our exports of cheese are very
much larger than they We're last year.
which are given by the treasury lbu-
reau of statistics at 3S, 19S, 753 pounds
for the fiscal year of 1899. Most likely
the Boston exporters figures are exag-
gerated, but it is probable that we
shall show a considerable gain i'm our
exports for this year. Since the cru
SADIE that has been made against GILL
ed" cheese our cheese has recovered
some of the reputation that it lost.
There is a demand for further legisla-
ton to prevent the counterfeiting Of
we'll known brands Of cheese in order
to restore the prestige of these differ
ent makes. Congress is being urged to
give our cheesemakers the benefit of
laws that will enable them to compete
with the Canadian dairymen, who have
developed large export trade in re-
cent years at our expense. 1t is believ-
ed that with laws that guarantee the
genuineness of our cheese products we
might recover the former high position
they enjoyed in foreign markets. It is
pointed out that American cheese is in
some cases bought by Canadians and
shipped to Great Britain as a Canadian
product, finding q ready market. Our
dairyfllen make as good cheese as can
be found in the world and should have
considerable share Of the foreign
trade. What they need in order to &C.
cupy more prominent position is leg

consumer that he is not being deceived.
