all times. 1t would break down the
best made partition if one side was
put in at time. After it is well set
tiled if one side is taken out the press
ure is not SO great.
When taking out the first slide, have
a large number of braces ready the
proper length and as fast as the silage
is used, put in the braces. Fig. 4 shows
the braces in position from the sides
of the silo to the partition These
braces should have some pieces at the
ends running the opposite direction
to the material against which the
brace is to support. That is, if the
silo is stave and the partition horizon
tai to the brace, the end pieces should
be as in Fig. S. If the timber OF the
outside of the silo is horizontal, the
brace should be as in Fig. 6. When
one side of the silo is empty, there is
no danger of the wall giving way II
these precautions are taken. Next year,
when filling, the braces as well as the
end pieces, should be taken out and
laid away for another year. by TINS
method, the man with small herd can
build a moderate sized silo and have
silage through the dry time, as well
as winter at a very small outlay OF
money.-Orange Judd Farmer.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Its Cultivation in Cuba TO BE Pushed
Theoretically by American
Capitalists.

The syndicate of Anglo-American
capitalists, headed by Mr.. George W..
Ireland, of Philadelphia, and in which
Sir William Van Horne and number
of prominent Canadians are largely
interested, have just purchased $780,
600 acres of lands near Bayamo, in
eastern Cuba, and formed company
with capital of $5,O0O,000 to grow
sea island cotton in Cuba, believing
that this crop is destined to succeed
sugar as the islands staple export.
Members of the company announce
their purpose, not only to produce
cotton for export to Great Britain
and the continent of Europe, but to
also establish cloth mills here, SO
that Cuba, like Georgia, may manu-
facture it's own cotton goods for nome
wear. They also propose to erect
cotton seed oil mills and fertilizer
factories either at Manzanillo or San
tiago de Cuba-whicheve of these
two ports may be decided upon as
point of shipment. Improved mod
ern gins will be used, and a great
compress will be put up at Bayamo'

Texas dairyman has found that
he can use alfalfa hay as substitute

SELL THE POOR COWS.
They Are a Positive Detriment 10 tne
Dairy and a Steady Source
of Loss.

In the great business world no man
now thinks of succeeding with inferior
machines. The farmer that keeps
COWS should take the lesson to heart
and discard all dairy machines-cows
that are not up to modern require
ments. No matter what machine
costs, it is better to throw 1t out on
the dump than use it at constant loss
Only good dairy machines can be Pront-
ably used. The good cows make but
ter at a profit. The ordinary dairy
cows make butter without profit or
loss. and the poor COWS make butter
at a loss. Now it is evident that no
matter how much a COW costs, 1t is
hest to send her to the butcher il she
either loses money or makes butter
with NO profit. There are in the hands
of farmers many cows that have cost a
rood deal of money once and were per-
hans good cows at one time, but have
,otl;ved their usefulness. These
should be fattened up at once and sent
10 the butcher. Some men say they
will fatten and dispose OF their cows
few months hence, when they have
dr;ed up. But what is the use of keep
inc cows at all if they are losing
money for their owners every day
The sooner they are seit away the

and dairymen can afford to keep only
aood cows. All others are detriment

DIVIDING ROUND sILo.
solution Of = Ticklish Question That
Has, Pussled Many Feeders
More or Less.

A reader from Canada asks for the
best method of dividing a round silo
which recently came into his posses
sion. Should the partition be put in
crossways of the openings or extend
from the openings? If the partition
extends from the opening, shall it ex-
tend from the center of the opening or
from one edge? Figs l, and show
the three plans. By putting the par
tition, as in Figs. and 2, the silage
from one-half must be thrown across
the other,s which means much extra
work in emptying silo. The parti-
tion should be placed as in Fig. 3, and
good doors made to fit the opening in
each side. Use paper, or what is bet
ter, felt to make the joints air-tight.
The reader also asks if it would not
be all right to have the boards cut
and put in the partition as the silo is
filed. 1t would be impossible to make
partition air-tight when put in in such
a manner. Too much care cannot be
taken in putting in such partition.
The ends will have to have much work
where joined to the walls or air will
get through when one side is empty.
The work should be done in good and
substantial manner, as there is great
pressure. Both sides should be filled
simultaneously and well compacted at

fair maiden in distress like Juliet Capu-
let Another reason why this was select
ed, was that the roles show the different
players to such advantage. Miss Haswell
makes an ideal Juliet, while Mr.. Gilmore
as Romeo is all that could be desired. In
Baltimore, when Miss Haswell appeared
as Juliet last winter, she played to the
record breaking business of the entire
season. Romeo and Juliet, seems to be
in demand with the paDlic, for all over
the country wherever the play has been
produced 1t has always played to the
banner business of the season. Perhaps
this is because the present generation Of
young theater-goers has not had an OPP
pOrtunity to see good presentation of the
great love tragedy, owing to belief
somewhat prevalent that interest in the
plays of Shakespeare IS dying out. That
this belief is entirely erroneous and I'M
justified, is proven by the crowds that
greet Shakespeare plays elsewhere.
In this weeks production practically
every member of the Percy Haswell, com
pany will appear, and there will be in
addition number of extra people who
will appear in the ensembles, and in the
minuet. Alfred Hudson will appear as
Old Capulet, Juliet's father, and Miss
Alice Butler will be the nurse. Alfred
Hudson Jr. will appear as Paris, the
young nobleman in love with Juliet. Fred
Frank Craven will be seen as Benvolio
and Regain Hughston will be the Tybalt.
Austin Webb will be Friar Laurence, and
Lloyd Carleton will be Peter, a servant.

thazar, servant to Romeo, and Miss VII
ola Burton will be seen as the page to
Paris. Alfred Smith will beF the apothe-
cary. Miss Agnes Everett will be the
Lady Capulet. Sex

, dryness 1t has also led in respect to
precipitation, for if the records are to
be believed, July furnished st. Paul
and the surrounding country with one
of the heaviest rain storms it ever ex-
perienced. This was on the evening
and morning of the Goth and 28th of
July, 1892, just ten years ago. The
storm was only about six hours in du-
ration, yet in that time nearly six
inches of water fell, turning the streets
into rivers and causing the municipal
ity alone a damage of over $105, OO0
The storm was confined principally to
the Twin Cities, and in the damage
suffered Minneapolis Jared the worst
In the ten years intervening between
the date of that storm and the present
year st. Paul has figured in extremes
that have done much damage, but the
severity Of that downpour is still a
matter of record in the memory Of
more than one citizen.

FRAWLEY IN "MME. SANS GENE"
Company to Open at the Grand Week
from This EVENING.

The FraWley season in ST. Paul will
open at the Grand Opera house, Sunday
evening, July Is, when the company
will present an elaborate production of
Sardou's masterful drama, Mime Sans
Gene" first populariZed in this coun-
try by Katheryn Kidder and played
here at various times by Rejane and
Ellen Terry as well.
1t is an ambitious undertaking to
present such a play at popular prices,
but Sans Gene9 has long been one
of the best likedsdramas in the Fraw-
ley repertoire, and, consequently, it has
been retained despite the fact that it
calls for an elaborate scenic investi-
ture and expensive costuming How
ever, the chief appeal of the play is
not to the eye, but TO the imagination.
1t suggests to the auditor the incon-
gruities of Napoleon's court. 1t dis
plays startling antitheses of charac-
ter, and, like all Sardou's dramas, it
tells an interesting story.
Produced in this country at a time
when Napoleon was the literary fad
of the day, Mime. Sans Gene" has sur
vived because of inherent merit. It
has been used by the leading players
of three countries and in it all of them
have made palpable hits. Ellen Terry's
Sans Gene will be remembered long
after her work in other roles has fad
ed from recollection. Rejane is still
Sans Gene to her countrymen; and in
this country the name of Katheryn
Kidder cannot be mentioned without
suggesting the French blancheuse. 1t
is easy to realize, therefore, that Miss
Mary Van Buren,, who will play the
title role in the forthcoming produce
ton, has no easy task before her. How
ever, the part is not new one so far
as Miss Van Buren, is concerned. On
the contrary, she has scored in it the
greatest success of her career, and may
be expected to duplicate her triumph
here.
