The largest silo ever built stands on
the McGough farm, near Aztalan,
Wis. 1t is siXty-three feet inside
diameter, with concrete foundation
extending four feet above the ground,
on which massive concrete walls rise
perpendicularly for sixty feet, the en-
tire depth being eighty feet. 1t is esti-
mated that it will hold the hashed
corn from 400 acres, though it has
never been entirely filled. The crop of
corn from 1853 acres is the most that
has ever been put into this large cyiin-
der.
Cheap SiIO Satisfactory.
At the Colorado experiment station
q very cheap silo was constructed and
filled with corn fodder. When this
was opened and fed out In December,
1t was found that the loss was about 8
per cent. The most expensive silo
could not have preserved the corn in
better cCn3ition or at a srlaHer loss.

That mink which lives down by the

worse enemy of the poultry than all

you look after so closely. A mink in

New York. Nov. l9.-Mrs. Annie Yeamans. the veteran actress, who is playing a leading role at the Casino, today celebrated her sixty seventh birthday and the fifty-seyenth year of her appearance on the stage. Her many friends in and out of the profes- sion remembered the anniversary by arranging a benefit performance and at the matinee a. the Casino today the venerable player found her dress ing room banked high with floral tributes from her innumerable friends and admirers.
 There are but one or two actresses of any note ol the American stage who are older than Mrs. Yeamans and Cone who have had a longer or more varied theatrical career. Born in the Isle of Man of Manx and Welsh par entage she was taken when a baby to Australia and in that far-off land she made her stage debut. When still quite young she joined circus and in the next few years went on a trip around the world with the show. When the circus stranded in Shanghai Mrs. Yeamans got together a few Of the performers and they toured through all the possible parts of China. Subsequently she appeared in Singapore, Java and the chief cit ies of Japan. In 1868 she came to the United States and settled in New York. During her thirty-odd years residence in this country she has vis- tied all the leading cities and been identified with many theatrical, pro auctions.

Pisgah News Notes.

Pisgah, July 21.--After another week
of hot weather we had light rain last
night, which has relieved the heat to
some extent. North from this point
the clouds indicated heavy rains. The
efforts OF corn to recover from the dis
astrous heat with only partial success,
show how severe it was. Cotton has
suffered, too, more than we thought
it would. It is safe to say that only
medium crops of both will be made
One thing is demonstrated that the
farmers will have to prepare for these
extremes of weather that we are sub
iect to in later years, more than ever.
Deep ploughing, and good width for
corn, seems to be the only remedy
with good manure to enable it to
stand such heat as we have expert
enced.
There is some fever through this
section, but of what type can't say.
Mr.. William Dees has several Of his
children down with it and last week
he lost one of his daughters. Measles,
have broken out afresh among the
negroes.
The crops are about all laid by, and
several of our neighborhood spend
their time fishing with good success.
For being asked for few cents
that he owed Mr.. Davis Brown, Henry
Scott got mad, and struck Mr.. Brown
or the back of his head with hoe,
inhicting a wound. A little lower
down the lick would have been fatal.
After knocking Mr.. Brown down, he
hit him several times. For this Scott
is in jail. A time spent on the public
works of Sumter will no doubt teach
him a lesson for his future good.
This is not the first time he has been
in jail for hitting pepole. Mr.. Brown
is very quiet and peaceable man.

had just graduated, as we hear with
distinction, in medicine. Every one

sincerely hope they are not serious
and that he will speedily recover.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Columbia, July 22.-The tempera-
ture was above normal. durng the week
ending MONDAY, July 21st, with an
average of about "a degrees. The
highest was 1o3 degrees at Heath
Springs on the 18th and at seivern On
the sth, the lowest 81 degrees at San
tue on the 7th. This, the second hot
wave of the month, was of compare
lively short duration, for by the END
of the week the temperature was again
normal or below. The winds were
generally, light, and dry, but without
the whiting effect so noticeable during
the previous hot wave.
Showers occurred in every county,
but they were partial and generally
light, and at few points only did
they supply enough moisture for the
need Of growing, crops. The rainfall
was heaviest in the southeastern por-
t;ons, but was not general in that
section. Over the greater portion OF
the State, crops are suffering for rain,
severely in places, and in others not
so much. This has caused,a great di-
versity in the condition of crops, SO
that now there are places in every
county where they are doing well, and
other places where they are partly
ruined. This applies particualrly to
corn and cotton, while other crops are
affected in like manner, but in. vary
ing degrees. showery conditions pre-
vailed at the close of the week.
Fields crops have been laid by in
clean condition, except some cotton
that is receiving its last plowing, and
stubble corn that is yet small.
Some early corn has reached ma
turity and is fair crop, but hot
weather and drought cut short large
portion of early corn, while late corn
is generally promising, and in a con-
dition to be benefited by timely rains.
Ctoton improved in number OF
localities, but generally it deterio-
rated during the week, depending on
| the rainfall distribution. Over by far
the greater portion of the State there
are reports of blooming to the top, sof
shedding, of the plants turning yel-
low, and few reports of rust. Gene
rally the plants are small, but bloom
ing freely, and in few sections there
are nearly full grown bolls. The crop
as a whole is in a condition to be
greatly benefited by rains, should
they occur within the next two weeks.
Tobacco cutting is being rushed to
the neglect of other farmwork, and
the crop is curing nicely. In num-
Der of localities. this years crop is the
best ever raised, while in other locali-
ties it was damaged by heat and
drought. Rice is threatened by salt
water in some districts. Caterpillars
have nearly all disappeared after dam
aging young rice. Peas continue tc
look we'll. The majority of reports con-
tinue to indicate an inferior fruit crop,
with much premature ripening and
dropping, except grapes which are fine
! where not rotting. Minor crops, such
as sweet potatoes, cane, pastures,
! grass for hay, and gardens, need rain
