pacity of the round silo is greater ir
proportion to the wall space. 1t is the
present practice. when building o
square or rectangular silo, to board
up or otherwise cut off the corners,
thus lessening the danger of loss OF
silage. Metal Innings for the inside OF
wooden silos have been tried. but with
poor success, usually proving less dur.
able than wood. Recently steel siding
has been used in place Of wood for the
outer part of the wall of the silo, and
it is said to compare favorably with
lumber as to cost
The first silos built in the United
States were pit silos." and these are
still sometimes made. but, aside from
their cheapness, they have no advan-
tage OF consequence over those built
on top Of the ground. A serious OBJ
lection TO them lies in the difficulty in
feeding the silage from them. On side
hill situations they can sometimes be
used advantageously. Ii is often pos.
sible to build the silo partly below and
partly above ground, materially less
ening the cost, but retaining the ad-
vantages of the above-ground silo.
The desirability of silage as fooc
for farm animals during the winter

italy lost his hearing some years ago and
communication with him thereafter was one
of the fine arts. Being the agent Of
the Standard Oil company Tor a large terri
tory, he travelled considerably, and on a GER
tain occasion fell IN with a couple Of friends
At Hlsdae, who invited him to 60 with them
to dinner at the house Of a resident ac-
Quaintance. One OF them quietly said to the
host: "Mr. Chittenden Is an exceedingly
pous man and likes to have the food blessed
before partakng. You must invite him TO
ask the blessing.
Accordingly, when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "WIll you ask the
blessing"
Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as IN a
listening attitude he responded in tone
more decided than unctuous:
i've grown so ALFRED deaf lately that il

A roar from the two friends disclosed to
Chittenden and the astonished host that
they had been the victims of practical joke.
But Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he un-
derstood what had happened.

VALUE OF GOLF GROUNDS.

One Million Dollars Invested by Chi.
cagO Clubs in Courses.
From the Chicago Tribune.
According to H. j. Tweedie, an authority
on golf in Chicago, the thirty or more golf
clubs supported by the city represent an
investment of $1.OOO,OOO in grounds. while
the cost each year to club members is
something almost past guessing at. One
million dollars is low estimate on golf
grounds, said Mr.. Tweedie. Some clubs
own the land, while others lease 1t, but in
any case the grounds have to be prepared,
sodded, bunkered, and perhaps provided
with water hazards
A good golf ground needs at least 200
acres Two hundred acres of good grounds
in easy reach of Chicago would cost $500 an
acre for the land alone. Several clubs are
as large as thts-the OnwentSia, Wheaton,
Homewood and Midlothian clubs have 200
acres or more each. The Midlothian, for
instance. spent $35, 600 on clubhouse alone.
while it has cost some of the others $1,000
to complete houses, fences and fields. In
three of these grounds the water hazards
are natures work, but the Wheaton Club
pumps water into an artificial pond. There
are between thirty and thirty clubs in
Chicago. Some of the grounds are as far
away as Wisconsin, but they are supported
by Chicago people.
Now. no golf enthusiast can play through

fees to caddies and new equipment for the

times as much for the pleasures of the
game. One man In Chicago, for instance,
has 12S drivers alone, with other clubs in
proportion These 12S drivers, at $3.50 each,
represent 1920. 1 doubt if anybody who
plays golf at all spends less than $50 as
the seasons legitimate expenses.
An average golf player of moderate means
cannot equip himself for the game under
500 The enthusiast may spend $500 to $4O0
without being considered extravagant
Counting a possible three thousand golf
players OF all degrees in Chicago, it has
been figured that they pay out not far from
$450. 600 year for the game.
With many Of these players railroad fares
are necessary and form considerable por-
tion of the expense. Care of club grounds
and the fees of the caddies are items of ex-
pense that are heavy In the aggregate
Club dues and clubhouse bills are in pro-
portion. SO that golf suit and a selection
Of golf clubs are only a beginning Of the
game

the Chicago golf enthusiast finds an open

thousands of dollars annually, but every
golf player Is confident that he has his
moneys worth when the snow and cold at
last put an end to putting and to the job
