THINGS THE EDITOR HAS TO 90.

We apologize for mistakes made In all
former issues and say that they were In
excusable, says the Sauk Rapids { Mich.)
Sentinel, as all an editor has to do Is to
hunt news, and clean the rollers, and set
type, and sweep the Hoor, and pen short
items, and fold papers, and write wrap
pers, and make the paste, and mall the
papers, and talk to visitors, and distrib-
ute type, carry water and saw wood, and
read the proofs, and correct the mistakes,
and hunt the shears to write editorials,
and dodge the bills, and dun delinquents,
and take cussings from the whole force,
and tell subscribers that We need money.
We say that we've no business to make
mistakes while attending to these little
matters, and getting our living on

ton, and wearing old shoes and no col.

ENsllAes AND The slLo.

10 MAKE good ensilAge, the corn
should be put into the silo just % the
grains begin to glaze, or even later. II
cut earlier II should be wilted to take
the excess of water out Of the stalks. II
touched with frost or very ripe, IL is q
good plan TO add water as IL Is put into
the silo. The majority Of men err on
the side Of having their corn too green
rather than too ripe, and this Is the
cause Of so much sour ensilage. Farmers
are every year putting their corn into
the silo at riper stage, and some even
say that the grain should be hard. The
corncobs and leaves should be thorough
ly mixed, snd II the corn Is In the right
condition the flllng may be continued
until finished.
The silo should be Of sound timber
and may be built round, square or any
other shape, so long as Ii is air tight.
A silo should be at least 20 feet high.
A greater hight Is better, for unless you
have heavy weight of ensilsge, when
you come 10 feed 1t out In the spring, Il
will be found so soft that the air will
get In and II will be impossible to keep
IL good. Unless there Is more than 20
feet Of ensilage, | would advise weight
ing II down with lumber and stone. The
first silos were built square, and, when
inside building, OF two thicknesses OF
lumber with paper between. When out
side, the same coating was put outside
the studding. Such silos are giving
good satisfaction to-day, but great care
must be exercised In tramping down the
corners. One OF the best silos Is made
OF hslf-inch lumber bent in the form OF
\ circle on 2x4 studs; two thicknesses,
with paper between, are put on the In
side and the same outside, the whole be-
ing surmounted with a conicsl roof.
This makes good silo, but Is rather ex-
pensive. Cement makes good silo,
but has the same drawback that IL Is ex-
pensive. The redeeming feature, how
ever, Is that il Is everlasting.
The tank silo Is doubtless the most
servicesble In the long run, chiefly for
the reason that It Is cheap and easily pu.
up. Ii can be built either inside or out
side the barn. Two-inch boards, to 10
inches wide, are used In Its construction,
and IL is set up on end, tank fashion,
with iron rods as hoops. Two or three
scantling, according 10 the size OF the
silo, are set up on the outside at equal
distances spart, and the iron rod passed
these. There should be wash
ers and at least six inches Of thread on the
ends Of the rods, so that the silo may be
tightened or loosened at will. Some
times the edges Of the plank are sized of
in planning mill or with a plane, but
those that are put up just as the plank
comes from the saw seem to give equal
Silos OF this description
have been built outside with only board
roof and have answered the purpose
very well, but II would be better to put
up at leas, 4 single-sheathed building
around them TO protect them from the

william Mckinley, the president who
has had to meet and solve problems
more numerous and more important
than any other president since the days
OF mighty Abraham Lincoln: the presi-
dent under whose administration this
country has attained a higher pitch OF
prosperity at home and honor abroad
than ever before In its history. Four
years ago President Mckinley was tri-
umphantly elected on certain distinct
pledges. and those pledges have been
made more than good. We promised
that IL President Mckinley were elected

that the mill and the workshop should

that the wage worker should prosper as

NEW YORK BALL CLUB.
In Bad Way For Star Players and
Few Are Left.

New York, March 2O.-The Times to-
day win say:
Nothing has yet been done to
strengthen the New York baseball
team. The local club has not accepted
the offer of the Boston club to release
Outfielder Frisbie and Pitcher Hick-
man. Manager Ewing said that the club
IS looking for seasoned players and not
such as VIII have to be tried out" EW-
ing spoke well of Frisbie who he be-
Heves will develop into a good man.
Players the local management wants
are O'Brien, Pittsburg, Selbach and
HaWley from Cincinnati. and Hamilton
from Boston. Bowerman, the Pittsburg
catcher, is understood TO be available.
1t has been learned that while Mr..
Dreyfus, of the Pittsburg club would be
willing to give up O'Brien, Manager
Clarke wants him retained as an emer-
gency fielder, and is seriously consid-
ering the advisability of playing him
regularly in the left field.
Both Selbach and Hawley, of Cincin-
natl, want to play in New York. Should
the Cincinnati club refuse to release
these players and they carry out their
declaration not to sign contracts to
play there they will be compelled to re-
main idle, as was the case with Rusie
last year.
F. a. Abel. of the Brooklyn club, said
that he hoped that everything would be
amicably settled in this city
7 am very sorry" he said, that Nc
Graw and Robinson were not secured
by Mr.. Freedman. We gave him the
preference and he could have had them
at lower figure than any other club"
Asked as to the effect of Mr. Freed
mans refusal to sign the recent agree
ment, the president of the Brooklyn
club said that there was no eight club
agreement drawn up and that the
league is still a 70 club organization
Four clubs We're omitted from the sche-
dule this year. and eleven club owners
signed an agreement to play a schedule
with eight clubs. An eight club agree
ment he said. would soon be drawn up
that would run for about 20 years.
