Kind of Material Needed and Method
of Putting 1t Together.
A wide diversity of ideas exists as to
what is the best silo Those factory
made and in sections have been found
to do about what is claimed for them
and are most desirable silo Cor the
dairyman who can secure them. Among
those that may be put up at home Is
the round stave silo, one of the cheap
est sorts, and if it were not liable to
collapse on account of shrinkage of the
slaves and expansion of the iron hoops
It would be very satisfactory, says
Farm and Tume.
Several of late have used wooden
hoops which cannot shrink or lengthen
endwise. The inside sheeting is Of one
inch Georgia pine, which does not
shrink. 1t is so full of pitch that mois-
ture has practically no effect upon it.
The foundation of this style silo is in
its wooden hoops six inches wide and
made Of half inch elm lumber sprung
around a form and built up with we'll
Tapped joints, using trif1e longer nail
each time until the hoop has q thick
ness for the three bottom hoops of five
layers. The remaining five top hoops
require only four layers each. The av-
erage silo will not require more than
500 feet of lumber and 20 pounds of
nails for the hoops, which are easily
and quickly made and should not cost
more than $1.25 each, or $40 for the lot.
This is a good deal less than the cost
Of the usual iron hoops and Tugs. A
three cornered frame is erected at the
exact outside circumference of the silo
fastened. 49,
The lining of the silo is then put on
and should be Of inch Georgia pine
lumber three inches wide, matched and
nailed to the hoops the same as the
flooring. When the lining is on within
twenty inches of the starting place, put
in by studding up and down be-
tween the hoops on each side Of the
door for door stays and jambs. Make
the doors of the same lumber as the
walls, cutting them into joints on the
inside of the hoops.
If the silo is outside the barn, it can
be covered with tarred paper and cheap
siding run both up and down as pro-
lection against frost. The roof and
foundation are the same as for any silo.
and the outside covering could be Of
any sort the owner wished, or it might
go without siding, the same as any 9th
er tub silo. If protected from the
weather, the wooden hoops should last
for years, and if at any time the inside
lining became "dozy" it might be lined
with tarred paper and then sheeting,
thereby making it serviceable again for
number of years at small cost.

A Palace by Piecemea1.

for buying the insides of fine old
homes about to be torn down, and !

that 1t would stand, besides putting

built but plainly furnished house on
Staten Island which could buy for a

keep them ever loyal to those high
and noble principles set forth in
the Declaration of Independence.
That the day should be opened by the
roar of anvil is BETTING the day for
the great fundamental rights of our
people was born midst the roar OF
cannon. That the crash of the fire.
cracker should always be heard is a
just and fitting memory of those
minute men who crouched behind
the bush and rocks and fence blending
the sharp report of forest rifle with
the duller one of the old flint lock
musket. The order of the day was
carried out as planned. The parade
was all that any one could exp ect and
orderly in oil its details. The racing
was exciting, yet carried on with
order and good hunior. The fat mans
race was won by Mis- Larsen first and
Audrey Johansen, second. The horse
race was Won by Andrew Esbeck al
though they had to divide the race
into three parts. The midway with
the fortune teller and other attractions
was entirely satisfactory to all who
went therein and cleared up good
money. In all the twelve hundred
people who were present enjoyed
themselves from first TO last. The
speeches were extra good and enter
tanning and all pronounce it one of
the best times ever held in the town.

a large estate in Scotland one day gave
q youthful farm servant glass Of milk
by way of compromising him for doing
some extra work.
The lad, true son of Scotia, put on
an air Of unmistakable disappointment
at the unwelcome smallness of the
glass. The Englishman, thinking to di-
vert his attention from his critical ex-
animation, jauntily asked:

how glasses like the one you hold in

To Live Long.

Most people are eager to have a
good, tried recipe for longevity. There
are many such about, but few are
really practicable or really reliable, as
what has proved good in one case has
not done SO in another, but the advice
offered by Sir Henry Thompson to
those who would like to reach old age,
as he has done, and remain vigorous
and Woodworking as well, is really pos
sible for all to follow. He does not
pretend that longevity can be attained
quite easily. On the contrary. his sys-
TEN involves much self denial; but, at
least, it is not an eccentric one Ills
theory, based on practical and PERSONAL
experience, is that strict temperance in
food as well as drink will prolong life.
In early life one may eat freely, but as
middle life is reached one must "slow
down." Eat as little as possible, drink
as little as possible and always eat
simply, and you will be on the safe
side, he AYERS. One can thoroughly be-
lieye such doctrine. Large and in
discreet feeders are never as well or as
long lived as their brethren who ap-
parently show no appreciation of food.
