publishing house of the Bowen Merrill

The work of compiling these important
papers and addresses by General Harm
son has been admirably done by Mary
Lord Harrison and the collection as it
now stands will appeal to every citizen
and especially to students of public ques-
tions.
The range of the subjects treated is ex-
ceptionaly great, covering as they do
education, religion, government and poli-
tics. All of these addresses given after
the close of his administration, were
marked by fearless frankness and are
noticeable for their clear and convincing
style.
This book contains General Harrison's
most notable utterances since leaving the
White House.
In Part 1 are given his lectures at STAN

CANNED FODDER.
c. T. Mattinsly Builds Scientific SiIo
on His Large farm.

c. T. Mattingly completed Tues
day the filling of a large silo on his
farm southwest of Plymouth. The
progress of the work has been watch
ed with great interest by many adj
vanced farmers in this vicinity, the
preservation of green feed for stock
being practically an experiment here
though by no means a new thing in
progressive agriculture. There are
less than half dozen siloS inMarShall
county at this time.
Mr.. Mattingly's silo is constructed
according to the latest improved
methods after a full and careful in
veStigation of the subject made by
him. 1t is IA feet in diameter and "A
feet high, resting on cement founda-
ton and having concave floor of
cement. The opening, which is next
TO the stock barn, is so arranged as to
give access to section at time with
out disturbing the balance.
This silo contains the product of
about 10 acres of corn, about IS tons,
and can be filled in day. The stand
ing corn, taken before it has fully
ripened and grown hard, is cut with
a Self-binder and hauled to the cutter,
run by steam power, where it is cut
into small bits, stalks, leaves and ears
together, and is fed into the silo by
an endless chain elevator. Three
men inside distribute it and pack it
down evenly and firmly.
BY the use of the Sil0 the entire
corn plant, Or whatever plant may be
used, is available for feed without
waste and it is easily accessible and
compactly stored. Besides being
economical ensilage is healthful feed
and stock thriyes and fattens on it,
preferring it 20 dry hay or glazed
stalks. The theory of the silo is
exactly the same as that of canning
fruits or vegetables, by storing the
substance away in an alright recepta-
Gle it is preserved in its fresh and
green state with the juices unimpaired.
Mr.. Mattingly is proceeding along
conservative lines in his experiment
and will doubtless realize his hopes.

Just a Pair of Lies.

The Independent lies to its few read
erS by saying that its''co-operatiye tel
egraph plan enables it to secure COM
plete and exhaustive service until s
a. NJ. each day, nearly ten hours later
than the dispatches contained in the
Chicago morning papers. Through
its connection with the Union ASSo-
ciated Press association it has received
daily bulletins as late as $3.50 p. m. :"
Perhaps it will explain how it's coop
eratiye telegraph" can include news
up to 8 a. m. each day when the train
bearing it to Plymouth leaves Chicago

graph" has to be set, Stereotyped,
printed, packed and delivered to the
express company and taken to the sta
ton before that hour. Being '.cO-
operative" it has to be delivered in
time to reach trains for other towns
that leave hours earlier.
Its connection with the Union AS
ISOLATED Press association" can best
be explained by saying there is no such
association on earth. The dOddering
dickey doesn't know the name of the
association it stole from. The Union
Press association sent the In
dependent a message collect and the
editor, after reading the message, re-
fused TO pay for it and published the
substance OF it as special. On Mon
day the Union, not knowing of the
theft, sent two more messages, with
out orders, and one costing seven
cents was accepted and the other re-
fused. That is all the telegraph news
the Independent. ever had over the
wires in its entire existence. We had
hourly messages as long as there was
any necessity for them and have the
original messages in our possession as
evidence.
