The HoOps on SilOs.

The round stave Silo seems to be con-
structed much more cheaply than the
stone or cement silo and to be equally
effectual in preserving the ensilage,
not building them or hopping them
strongly enough if the timber was a
little green. When empty and the tim
Der began to shrink, they have blown
down, and more often upon the western
prairie sections where the high winds
prevail than in the eastern states. For
the round silo there should then be
hoops than can be frightened at pleas
ure unless they are made perfectly
tight upon dry timber.

SILAGE FOR HORSES.
Why This Subject Should BE Thor
0ughly Tested by a Good Breeder.

Why This Subject Should BE Thor
oughly Tested by a Good Breeder.
A. NJ, South Newbury, VT, asks con-
corning the value of silage for feeding
young and breeding horses.
Almost nothing is known in regard to
this subject. Originally stock growers
regarded silage made from the corn
plant as suitable only for the dairy
cow. Now we are coming to learn its
high value as a feed for young cattle,
for breeding cattle and last Of all for
the fattening steer, especially during
earlier stages Of that process. Recent
been experimenting with silage as
feed for breeding ewes. The shepherd
was prejudiced against this material,
but the results show that corn silage Is
q most excellent feed for breeding
ewes, taking the place Of roots.
Now, with the widening use Of silage
as experience and experiments are
showing, what is its place on the horse
farm? We all know that roots. espe-
cially carrots, are greatly appreciated
by horses and may be fed to all classes
Of animals III proper amounts with ad-
vantage. But the American people
very properly do not take to the grow
ing Of roots even for horses, because
great deal Of hand labor is required in
producing this crop, and wages are
high in this country. A given amount
of nutrients can be produced in the
form Of corn silage for half the cost Of
that in the form Of roots. This true, If
silage will only take the place of roots
on the horse farm we have most val
liable adjunct to our present list Of
feeding materials. No horseman would
think of using roots in any large guam
titles with horses in training or at hard
work, for such succulent material
tends to produce a watery flesh, which
10 unsatisfactory with animals at hard
work or required to move rapidly. But
even such animals relish and are bene-
flied by limited supply of roots. 1t
would seem possible and it is worthy
Of trial to use silage even with such
animals to very limited extent. For
young things, brood mares and idle
horses it would seem as though corn
silage might be used to some extent
with profit. At least this material
should be tried as a substitute for
roots in order to cheaper the cost of
maintenance. If corn silage proves
valuable food for the dairy cow and
the breeding eve, why should it not be
satisfactory with the brood mare? If
it is satisfactory with young cattle and
with steers in the first stages of fatten-
ing, it also should be acceptable and
useful with growing and idle horses.
Upon receipt Of two cent stamp to
cover cost of mailing the Wisconsin :ex-
pertinent station, Madison, will be
pleas to send bulletin on silo con-
struction to any horseman desiring it.

TALE OF LOST WEALTH.
Misfortune of a Curio Dealer VINO
Lacked an Eye for business
Chances.

'.When a man gets little rest from
making money" the long-bearded,
slouchy-hat curio-man remarked, re-
lates the Detroit Free Press, 1T some-
times entertains him to sit down ana
think over the big sums OF money he
might have made. At the time l
bought out this old secondhand shop,
if you believe me, there were dozens
of old-fashioned bedsteads packed
away in the upper stories-eVery KIND
of bed you ever heard of, including
French beds and the early carved
four-posters. And they were made out
of all kinds of good woods, too; rose
wood, cherry, mahogany and walnut.
"The craze for old bedsteads hadn't
started up yet, and l didn't know what
to do with all that old stuff. Finally,
| hired a queer old fellow to come in
and saw it all up for firewood, If he
would do it cheap. He had only one
eye, l Sleepy Davie' the
town called him because his other eye
was never more than half open. Wen,
Sleepy Dayie' cooked one eye at the
old bedsteads, and, without enthusi-
ISM, said he guessed he'd saw up the
old beds if I'd give him the head
boards | agreed at once and consid-
cred that it was a good bargain for
me. He worked weeks upstairs, saw
ing and splitting up the old side bars
and heavy posts of those old bedsteads.
Nearly every night he carried of an
old head board. After the old, slow
rascal had finished the. job, had
plenty of firewood, and | found out
that he had made about $25 selling the
big head boards of cherry, rosewood,
mahogany. ct cetera, to cabinet max
ers around town. Now that old furni-
ture is in vogue again, it makes me
groan to think what l did to those
handsome old bedsteads.
"And that isn't ALL" continued the
old curio-man; "the cellar here was
| full of old-fashioned stone fruit jars
and glass bottles-about 200 of them
| turned the bottles out on a dump
at the end of the street, and in about
20 minutes all the boys in town were
there with baskets, carrying the bot
ties off to sell them. The stone jars
/ smashed up to get them out of the
way; and in about two weeks every
Fwoman in the town came in and asked
if had any of those nice sold-fashioned
stone jars. to put up fruit in. Don'i
you see what a lot of money l threw
away on that deal? Dear me, about
the time q man learns to live it is time
to die"

NAVAL OFFICERS PAY.
How They Manage to Make Their
Small Salaries co a Long
Way.

How naval officers with salaries
varying from $1,000 TO $500 manage
TO maintain degree of style seems
deep mystery to the ordinary citizen.
Not only must "A naval officer keep him.
self supplied with the half dozen differ
ent uniforms specified by the govern
ment. but he must be able when ashore
to present a decent appearance in
civilian attire, must stop at good ho-
tells, must associate with civilians of
social position corresponding to his
own, and if he has wife and children
must maintain them in good style, says
the New York Herald.
All this is made possible by that
species of domestic communism known
as cooperative housekeeping. The Of
ficers' mess aboard ship is an illustra-
tion of it. Each man in the combina-
ton contributes a certain sum for the
purchase of supplies. If an officer be
short Of funds he may draw two
months pay in advance. The common
fund is placed in the hands Of caterer
chosen from the mess, and the supplies
are purchased in bulk andat the lowest
possible cost.
The caterer makes careful calcula-
tions. allowing for breakage and other
losses, adds small per centage Of
profit and then retails his supplies at
prices considerably below current
rates ashore. Creme de menthe is a
highly popular cordial among naval Of
ficers. and. in fact, is said TO have been
first called to the attention OF the dis
eliminating public by the mess OF
United States man-of-War. IL retails
in saloons and even in clubs at IS cents
n glass, but the mess rate aboard ship
is ordinarily just one-haf that price.
The mess caterer buys his wines and
cigars abroad whenever IL is possible
to do so.
The price of the best champagnes in
a well-managed mess is usually under
two dollars per quart. The price
ashore Is from $3.50 to 1878. The best
imported cigars are retailed TO the
mess at from 40 to co per cent. below
shore prices.
There are. ordinarily. two officers
messes below decks aboard a United
States ship-the wardroom mess and
the steerage mess. The latter is for
mi6shipmen and other juniors. The
captain messes alone in solemn state
and IL vessel be a flagship the ad-
miral may have his own separate table
The cost Of living in the wardroon
mess is from s35 10 $40 a month, ex'
elusive Of wines and cigars. All trans
actions are on a credit system.
Whenever a bottle Of wine or cigar
is ordered the purchaser "writes 3

summed mp az the end Of the month
