that so few feeders yet realize that a
is Indispensable to the highest bodily
vigor and the largest financial returns.
Feeders as a rule do not sufficiently
appreciate the fact that through I'M
numbered centuries Of evolution our
herb-eating domestic animals became
habituated to conditions which made
the chief part of their diet of necessity
some form of fresh succulent Vegeta-
ton. All of their processes of diges-
ton, assimilation, excretion and re-
production grew into balanced action
with the fresh tissues, juices and stor-
age products of plants as essential
stimulants and foods; and now when
the system is long deprived of them
the functions cease to be normal, be-
cause their presence in the body is
now Indispensable.
It is only within comparatively re-
cent times that the absolute necessity
of some form of fresh vegetable food
or fruit in our own diet has been
learned and the methods of canning
fruits and vegetables, to be used in
camp life, at sea, and on polar expedi-
lions, as we'll as on the table in winter
has rendered an immense service to
man in maintaining health under
those conditions. The silo is a cheap
means of canning grass on a large
scale to be used by domestic animals
at times and in places when it could
not otherwise be had; and, because
silage can be produced cheaper, kept
| longer, and fed to stock more ex-
| peditiously, it must largely take the
place of roots wherever large amounts
must be stored.
It has been demonstrated the past
season at the university that if green
corn is put into vessel having strict
| ly air tight walls and at the same time
is so thoroughly packed as to largely
expel the entangled air good silage
may be made in very small quantities.

A recent bulletin from the univer-
sity treats of silos, subject of great
practical interest to progressive farm
ers. Prof. F. H. King is the author
and he strongly urges the use and
Importance of silage. In intensive
farming, he says, it may be fed the
year around and is relished as well in
summer as in winter. 1t is much
cheaper than soiling crops for summer
feed, and there is nothing equal to it
for "short pastures z AS part of the
winter ration of domestic animals it
is the only available substitute for
roots and it is a great misfortune to
the interests of animal husbandry

Detailed and exhaustive descriptions
of the proper manner of constructing
silos are given. A good stone. 49,
foot silo, 80 feet deep, will cost about
S175, and have storage capacity of
between 70 and 80 tons. A silo 25 feet
in diameter, 80 feet deep, will cost in
the neighborhood of 1928 for a capacity
of 290 tons, making $233 per ton for
the smaller silo, and $1.14 per ton
for the larger. one. Excellent silos may
be made Of brick and where brick of a
good quality can be obtained at S4.25

SIR CHARLES WARREN's BATH.

There is something extremely Eng
lish in the story of Sir Charles War
rem doing trimbics,''' as Bouncer ex-
pressed it, in the open air on the bat
tlefield Of Vaal Kranz. Sir Charles,
it appears, is strong believer in
hydropathy, and under no circum-
stances intermits his morning bath.
On the occasion of Buffers last effort
to relieve Ladysmith according to
IN. A. P.'), Sir Charles found it i'm
possible to leave his post, so when day
broke on the battlefield, he ordered his
servant to bring his bath with sponge
and towel, and there and then, in the
open air, Sir Charles Warren, COM
handing the Fifth division, proceeded
to take his bath, sublimely Indifferent
to the fire of the enemy The enemy
were, perhaps, too much astonished
at the British eccentricity of bathing
at all, much more of bathing in this
etremely public fashion, to attempt
any violent interruption. A humorous
addition to the incident relates how
Sir Redyers Butler, wishing to consult
with Sir Charles, sent his orderly to
summon him. But not even an order
from the ommander-in-chief could
interrupt this matutinal function, and
Sir Redyers was obliged to ride to the
bather, and then an important CONVEX
sation was held between the two gen
erals-the one on horseback and the
other in his tub. Diogenes himself
never performed a feat of cooler indif-
ference to the conventionalities than
Sir Charles on this occasion.-London

pit may be made with sloping sides,
smallest at the bottom In using such
a silo, especially when filling it, care
should be observed in going into it
when there is a possibility that car
bonic acid has accumulated to a dan
gerous extent. When stave silos are
built of good durable lumber they are
bit little cheaper than the very much
more substantial and much better
wood and lathed and plastered silos.
If one wishes to build cheap tenn
porary silo which will stand rigidly
and will preserve the silage in good
condition it is possible to do this for
less money than the stave silo will
cost. In short, says Prof King, the
instability of the stave silo should pre-
vent it's use outside of another build
ing.
Crops will make the best silage when
they are cut as near full maturity as
possible and yet have their tissues
filled with sap. When corn is put in
to the silo in very succulent state it
is filled with a large per cent. of COM
pounds which are easily decomposed,
and this not only makes the unavoid-
able losses high but it is likely to
cause unpleasant odors and less palat-
able feed. Besides there has not yet
been developed enough of the woody
tissues in the plant to enable the
juices to be retained under the pres
sure of the silage and in early silo
practice provision was often made for
drainage on this account Corn is in
the best stage for the silo when it is
ting in the shock; that is, when the
ears are fully matured but the stalks,
leaves and husks are yet green. Glover
| for the silo should be a little more
mature than for making the best hay,
that is, the bloom should have we'll
begun to turn brown.
We are told in conclusion that where
| a man possesses a good silO-or some
what larger capacity than is needed
he is able to manage so as in a large
measure to be unaffected by the var
liability of seasons. Silage may be car
ried from year to year with little loss
SO that one is able, if he has silo to
store a reserve of feed in seasons of
heavy crops to be used in seasons
when they fall below the average In
this way one is not only more largely
| Independent of seasons but he is able
to carry much larger herd upon the
same amount of land. Silage in a good
silo does not appear to materially de-
teriorate with age, and it has been
fed when six years old. In semi
arid climates where the rainfall is ex-
| tremely variable the silo will be found
very desirable as a means of holding
green feed in reserve to be used in
seasons of drought; and if experience
shall prove that alfalfa and Kaff1r corn
can be made into silage with anything
like the advantage with which corn
is handled in this way the agricultural
possibilities of semi arid climates will
be very greatly increased.

IRON GATES.
Decay In Iron~orkinE sign of Ma
tinnal Weakness.

tionai Weakness.
Iron gates, through the bars OF which
landscapes and gardens could be seen
and admired. were brought into vogue
by q settled feeling OF public security,
says the Magazine OF Art They were
among the earliest outdoor ornaments
OF q civilization which had become
national in its force and Industrial in
its AIMS. They proved that the So
c!al spirit, long fOstered by religion,
by commerce and by law, had at last
triumphed over the fierce pride, the
tyrannical lust Of power, which during
50 many years had set the mobiles at
variance with one another and with
growing townships making the draw
bridge and the arIuored gate OF wood
as necessary as were 4 good sword
and q heavy suit OF mail. Thus the
smiths craft. after long ministering
70 the needs and passions OF those IN
quiet times when war was an instinct,
became little by little, not only the
agent Of 4 warfare which had been
raised into art but also the neces-
sary friend Of many peaceful indus
tries: and We all know that our own
civilization is bound up with the his
tory Of iron. Is really dependent on the
active working Of this metal. Long
may it be so, for a general decay in
irOuworking has ever been sign Of
national weakness. Thus It was in
Italy, in Flanders. in Spain. as Mr..
Starkle Gardner points out in his we'll
known handbOOks on smithing: and
thus we see how readily We may pass
through an iron gate into the vast
field Of modern history-the history
OF civilization in Christian times. AS
might have been expected, iron gates
were first set up on sacred ground,
within churches and abbeys. They were
known then as grilles or screens, and
they inclosed the choir and the added
side Chapels. A very old one has been
handed down to us-namely, the st.
SwithIn grille in Winchester cathedral.
that takes our thoughts back to the
red-handed days Of William II. These
gates, We must remember. were slowly
evolved out Of much older type OF
grille, grille in bronze, which cams
into use either late in the seventh cen
tury or early in the eighth. Other &C.
clesiastIcll gates OF iron have yet tc
be mentioned: they were of later date,
and were put outside a good many sa-
cred buildings. Some are still extant
in this country, the oldest Of all being
probably those in front of Cirencester
abey, which are supposed to be early
Elizabethan. Like the younger gates
at Canterbury cathedral, they close the
principal doors.
