The Round Siio.

As every student of mathematics
knows, the circle is the shortest line
which can inclose any given area.
when the material for building siic
Is an important object to be considered,
the round silo will contain more than
any other that can be built at the same
cost for lumber. and thus 1t is the better
form for many, but we think not for
all. 4 silo built in the barn taking one
or more of the bays used Tor hay, and
extending from the cellar floor, if there
Is barn cellar. to near the roof, can
often be put in at small cost, simply by
lining the outer walls and making
strong partitions on the inner sides, and
the space so taken up will not be need
ed for hay unless the stock kept is TO be
increased, as the ensilage in it will
feed more animals than all the hay that
could be packed in it, as farmers NOW
away their hay. OF course We are not
speaking of baled hay, because the
farmers do not often bale hay that
they intend to feed out at home But a
cubic foot of ensilage in a silo eighteen
70 twenty-five feet deep will average
to weigh about forty pounds, which Is
fair amount to give COW each day
with the hay and rain that should go
with ii, and a farmer can very easily
figure how large a space would be need
ed to provide food for his stock. Many
of them could not as easily figure the
solid contents of round sllo if given
Dimensions. though they may have chill
dren who have graduated from high
school who could do so. But the silo in
the barn requires but little extra Ium-
Der and no extra roof, and it keeps the
food very near where it is wanted.
Those who have limited capital often
have to choose the cheaper way if it is
not the better way.--New England

Cnninrine the Sharks.

In the Persian gulf the divers have a
curious way of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
coniurers and win not descend with
out their presence. To meet this diff
fieulty the government is obliged to
hire the charmers to divert the atten
ton of the sharks from the fleet. As
the season approaches vast numbers of
natives gather along the shore aud
erect huts and tents and baZaars. at
the opportune moment-usually at
midnight, so as to reach the oyster
banks at sunriae-the feet. to the
number of eighty or 100 boats. put out
to sea. Each of these boats carries two
divers, a steersman and shark
charmer and is manned by eight or
ten rowers Other conjurcrs remain
on shore, twisting their bodies and
mumbling lamentations to divert the
sharks.
In case a man-eater is perverse
enough to disregard the charm and at
tack a diver. an alarm is given, and
no other diver will descend on that
day. The power of the conjurer is
believed to be hereditary and the eff
cacy of his incantations to be wholly
independent of his religious faith

STRETCHING 1T TOO FAR.
Privilege Does Not Permit a LawyH

Privilege Does Not Permit Lawyer
TO Aid His Clients Escape.
Judge Thomas of the United States
Court has a correct idea of legal ethics,
and he enforces his views with refresh
ing direetness and decision in his dec
laration that the relation of attorney
and client does not excuse an attorney
from Withholding evidence bearing
upon an intention or arrangemeL, on
the part of the client to perform some
Illegal act in the future or the actual
doing of such an act. \ man under
indictment had been admitted to bail
and then fled. The Grand Jury desired
10 learn who helped him in his flight.
The lawyer who represented him said
he was employed to do so by third
person. and the Grand Jury desired to
reach this third person and find out
where the accused man was and who
was privy to his escape. The lawye-
declined to give this information OH
| the ground that his relation with eli
ent was privileged. Judge Thomas re-
| fused to recognize this as within the
proper limits of professional confidence
and ordered him to answer the ques-

Isaiainu or Knxinr Feed.


Where the farmer grows the fodder
and gra.9 tor his animals he is Justified
in feeling that it has cost less than it
woulG If he paid the cash for it in the
market e he has been successful in get
taing good crops. lie has made mar
ket for his own labor, the labor of his
team and use of tools, and for the ma
nure that was a waste product of his
stock. All of that forms part of his
profit, and the crops may be said TO
have cost him the seed, hired labor and
fertilizer bought. But it may not be
the cheapest feed for him to use. He
may be able to sell it and purchase 9th
er food materials that would give him
enough better results to repay him for
the labor of drawing both ways. Bran
and gluten feed produce so much more
milk than corn meal that he may sell
the coru he has raised, and buy the
other feeds which he does not raise.
Other foods are better for hens thar
the corn, or even than oats. The maii
who tries to be so independent as neitli-
err to buy nor sell, had better set w
a hand loom and cobbler's beach, to
save spending mcuey for clothing. We
could fatten hogs and cattle on turnips
and onions cheaper when we sold them
and bought our corn than we could to
have fed the roots, and we thought
cheaper than if we had grown the corn.

The old saying that "a pint is a
pound all the world round" does not
hold good with the many grain feeds.
They vary much. and as the papers
when giving balanced rations usually
express themselves in pounds, while
the farmer usually feeds by measure,
dipping it up with the handy two-quart
measure it may be well to know just
what quart weighs. i. We copy from
the Rural New Yorker this table,
which we think is nearly accurate for
weights of a quart. Coarse wheat

As pound. wheat, mixed feed, 3-5
pound, fine wheat middlings IL pounds,
linseed meal the same, gluten feed IL

To dip up measure full of fine mid
dlings. is to give more than twice as

Clover and Corn for Stock.

If one could raise good crops every
year Of clover and corn, there would
be little difficulty in providing stock
with suitable food. says Michigan
farmer, Glover regard as a double
ration. taking the place really of hay
and grain. 1t is possible to winter
horses and stock on clover without pro-
ducing any i'll effects or reducing them
much in weight and strength This
would not advocate except as an exper-
iment or in an emergency What our
stock needs is variety, and while clover
might supply both hay and grain con
stituents there would be the possibility
of inducing sickness and poor appetite
from the lack of variety. Glover. of
course, produces a direct beneficial ef-
feet upon the soil and adds to it more
than the corn takes away. Persistent
cultivation of corn on any field must in
time luce the soil fertility to such a
low point That succeeding crops will
suffer. With clover as part of ro-
tation there would he little chance of
such soil degeneration.

a Notion Worth Attention.

Prevention of oat smut by hot air
treatment of the seed is a new idea
advanced by the Oregon station. Seed
was heated in laboratory hot air ster-
ilizer. 1t was found that exposure TO
heat in a wide range from 1870 degrees
to 200 degrees F. for ten minutes die
not affect termination. 1t is suggested
that hop and fruit driers could be used
FOR this purpose. 1t does away with
all the apparatus needed in the hot
water and chemical solution treatment
and obvlates trouble of drying the seed
and the danger of injury to the seed
through termination. mold or decay,
which may occur with the wet method.
In one instance seed so treated pro-
duced but single head affected with
smut. and this might have come from
one kernel of accidentally untreated
