Publicity Is Not PODuIar.

A contemporary tells of a creamery
manager that wanted to stimulate the
patrons OF his creamery to produce
more and better milk He called them
together and told them that if they
desired it he would publish an annual
report giving the details of the bust
ness, showing just how much each
man had received for his milk, what
per cent. of fat it conta aimed ACCORDING
to the Eaocock test, and just how many
COWS each man had used in the produc-
ton o. his milk. At the next meeting
the patrons voted not to have the re-
port. The good dairymen were afraid
the poor ones would learn how they did
it, and the poor ones were ashamed to
have their records known. Publicity
is one of the surest ways of getting bet
ter conditions, but good many men
are afraid Of publicity.-Farmers Re

SILOS AND ENSILAGE.
Seven Leading Facts Relative tn
Their Value on Which Every
body Can Agree,

Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed.
First. That larger amount of
healthful cattle food can be preserved
in the silo in better condition. at less
expense of labor and land, than by any
other method known.
Second. That silage comes nearer be-
ing perfect substitute for the sue
culent food of the pasture than any
other food that can be had in the win
ter.
Third. Thirty pounds day is enough
sllage for an average sized Jersey cow,
Larger cattle will eat more.
Fourth. A cubic foot of siIage from
the middle of medium sized silo will
average about As pounds
Fifth. For 1872 days, or half wear. an
average Jersey cow will require about
SIX tons of silage, allowing for unavoid-
able waste.
Sixth. The circular silo, made of good
hard wood slaves, is cheapest and best.
Seventh. Fifteen feet in diameter and
80 feet good depth Such a silo will
hold about 200 tors of silage. cut in
haif-inch engths.-National Stockman.

ITO Be Continued
Had an Object.

"After had watched colored man
fishing in a South Carolina brickyard
pond for 40 minutes without pulling
up his hook" said the traveller, 81
asked him if he thought there were any
fish there to be caught"
"'No, sab, I reckon not, he replied.
"'But you seem to be fishing
eyes, sah.'
"But perhaps you are not fishing
for fish?'
"'No, sah.'
81 waited ten minutes for him to ex-
plain, but as he did not finally asked
him what particular object he had in
view.
"'De objick, sah,' he repeated with
out taking his eyes off the pond or NOV
ing the pole-'de objick of my fshin'
fur fish whar dere hain't any is to let
de ole woman see dat I hain't got no
time to pick up de hoe and work in de
truck patch!'-Washingt Post.

pacity of the round silo is greater in
proportion to the wall space. 1t is the
present practice, when building
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
1t 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. 1t 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 a food
for farm animals during the winter.
and also in times of drought, has led
to many attempts to construct cheap
sllos, especially in sections where build
ing materials are high. One of the
most satisfactory of these cheap struc-
lures is known as the ''stave silo." 1t
is built much as round tank, but is
without top or bottom other than the
soil, and is composed of two-inch lum-
Der of varying width held together bv
hoops OF half-inch iron, with suitable
blocks for Tightening. When filled.
temporary roof may be placed on the
sllo, or straw or grass may be spread
over the silape.

SONG BIRDS.

Sling. little hird, your sweetest song,
And let each note, throat-warm and
clear,
Float on the breezes far and long.
To charm the listening ear.
The trill that swelis your vibrant throat,
And fills your little heart with glee,
Finds in my breast ali answering note
Akin to ecStacy.
And blended with your tender lay
Comes the soft murmur Of the stream,
Like wind-harps in the boughs that play
Sleep-music to a dream.
Iute-like it fingers the breeze,
Then slowly fades, and, fading, dies,
Like spirit voices in the trees,
Half laughter and half signs.
Among the locust's blossoms faint,
And drunk of perfume, mods the jay.
The mourning-dove, with sad complaint,
Fits through the elders gray,
The sparrow chirps within the grass,
Joe-pie-weed hides the whistling quail.
The blackbirds at their daily mass
Chant anthems in the swail
The brown thrush in his trailing flight
From shrub to hedge, from hedge to
vine.
The freckles on his breast as bright
AS bubbles on new wine,
viii drop soulful lyric here,
A half-song sonnet there,
In notes as running water clear,
BeSeechlng as prayer
Here and everywhere, and always,
The dangerous summer through,
In briery vine-wreathed Railways
The catbird's song is due.
He sings the summer sunshine in,
The autumn sunlight down,
While I, in homely stanzas, pin
These plaudits in his crown.

CHAPTER XT.

That evening, when John Folsom,
half an hour earlier than the stipulated
time, drove the girls and their friend,
Lieut.. LOOMS, out to the fort, Ma
Burleigh was left to his own devices,
and his face plainly showed that he
was far from pleased with the WAY
things were going. The news that
Marshall Dean had been placed in ar
rest by order of the commanding Off
Ger of Fort Emory, following as it did
close on the heels of the tidings of
that young officers prompt and SOL
dierly handling of the crisis at the
ranch, made Folsom boil over with
wrath. His first word was one of eau
ton, however. "Husk!" he said
"Speak low. Yonder stands his sis
ter. The girls must not know yet"
Then, leading the way into. the library
and closing the door behind them, he
demanded all particulars Lannion
could give him, which were few enough.
'The lieutenant halted the troop out
side the post" said the indignant
ranchman, had it dismount there
while he. rode on in to report to the
commanding officer for Instructions
The colonel was taking his nap after
lunch, and the edjutant was at the
Office, and what does he do but get
up from his desk solemn-like, and when
the lieutenant says: 4 report the ar
rival of troop G at the post, SIR the
adjutant didn't answer a word, but
reached out and got his saber and be-
gan buckling it around him, and then
he put on his cap and gloves, and says
he: Lieut.. Dean, I'm sorry, but my
instructions are to place you in close
arrest, by order of Col. Stevens Why,
you could have knocked me down with
the kick Of a gopher I was so dunn
founded! The lieutenant he didn't say
anything for a minute, but turned
white and looked like he could have
knocked the top of the adjutant's head
off. An officer will be sent to take
charge of the troop said the adjutant,
an I suppose you'd better confne
yourself to your tent, as the colonel
means to have them camp there day
Brooks as to quarters We'll, will you
have the goodness to say what charges
have been laid against me?' said Mr..
Dean, and the adjutant hemmed and
hawed, and lowed that the colonel
hadn't formally drawn 'em up yet, but
that a copy would be served on him as
soon as they were ready.
''Then I said I'd go right in and find
you, and that's all know"
And then it was that Folsom turned
on Burleigh, with gloom in his eye, and
said: ''By the Eternal, Maj. Burleigh,
I hope you've had nothing to do with
this!"
Nothing in the world, I assure you.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1901-01-02

Though, as have told you, can hard

said, and-what I have seem" But
the major could not squarely meet the
gaze in the keen eyes of the old trader,
nor could the latter conceal his sus-
picions. 81 know you wish to hear all
the particulars of the affair at the
major, uneasily, $50 I will leave you
with him for the present" and back
ing out into the hall he turned to the
foot of the winding staircase where
Elinor had met her friend. The girls
were still there, their faces clouded
with surprise and anxiety. It was an
opportunity not to be lost.

son." said Burleigh, advancing upon
Folsom merely wants to hear further
details from Lannion. wish to extend
my congratulations to you and-ah-
this young lady, first upon the for
tunate escape of your brother" and
he bowed over his distended stomach
to Elinor, "and second upon the part
played by yours" and he repeated the
bow to Jess, who, however, shrank
away from the extended hand. cit will
go far to counteract the stories that
I-ah-er-believe you know about
that were in circulation, and most I'M
justly, doubtless, at-er-his expense"
''Who put them in circulation, Maj.
Burleigh?" asked Pappoose, her brown
eyes studying his face as unfinchingly
as had her fathers gaze moment be-
fore.
THAT, my dear young lady Ter
cannot surmise. They are mostly i'm
aginative, I dare say"
But Miss Folsom looked unmollified,
Miss Dean agitated, and Burleigh him
self had many reason for feeling i'll
at ease. Just at the time of all others
when he most desired to stand on good
terms with the well-to-do old trader
and his charming daughter he found
himself the object of distrust. He was
thinking hard and far from hopefully
as a moment later he FASTENED down
the street.
'Tell them to send up my buggy,
quick" were his orders as he stepped
within his office doorway. Then low
ering his voice: HAS Capt. Newhall
returned?" he asked the chief clerk
''The captain was here, sir. Left
word he needed to take the first train

difference-to Cheyenne and expected
to find a letter or package from you,
