Mr.. Wagner of Missouri Tells How
to Construct One CheapIy.
A perfect silo can be built for one
many who build or buy them, writes
B. Z. Wagner in Practical Farmer. By
building 1t octagonal or eight sided in
shape and the ceiling perpendicular,
with two thicknesseS of inch hemlock
boards with felt paper between, per-
feet silo may be made at a small cost.
| built one in July, 1899, and have
filled it twice. 1t gave perfect salts
faction. Every silo that has been built
in this vicinity since has been built
after the same plan. They can be built
any size wanted With $500 feet of
good hemlock boards, 900 2 by rs, 3
feet long, and Sc worth of felt and
nails, three men can build a silo in
three days. The expense for the roof
and bottom would be the same as for
any other shape or style. | got out
timber for mine, and paying the saw
bill, cement, nails, paper and mason
work cost me $34.40. The size is II
feet inside and "A feet high. 1t will
hold silage enough to feed twelve head
Of cattle for six months.
When the foundation is completed,
place the stills on and nail the corners
together. Then set the boards up at
the corners and plumb them with a
level or a plumb staff. Let one man
hold the joists on the outside where
they belong. Place two feet apart and
joists at the corners as you go up for
the first twelve feet, and then put the
upper section up the same way. The
jOist may be sawed the same length
with a crosscut saw by punching
them together The jOists and boards
at the corners all have to be the same
slant, which is a square inter or an
angle of 40 degrees. l cut my corn
when fairly in the state of roasting
ears, and should be cut into the silO
as hauled from the field without wilt
ing. No salt is used, and the cut mass
is simply allowed to settle with as lit
tie tramping as possible. A cover of
cut straw or hay is placed over the
top, and the work is done. You can be-
gin to use it as soon as needed in the
fall. The silo should be made as air
tight at the bottom and sides as posi-
bic and good roof over it, while the
ventilators at the top may remain open
most of the time.

THE HUMAN STOMACH.
How 1t Is OverwOrked by Three Big
Daily Meals.

How 1t Is OvervvOrked by Three Big
Daily Meals.
1t requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself, when it falls
into a state Of repose; hence if man
eats three times a day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out Of twenty
four After nights sleep we wake
up with a certain amount of bodily Wig
or which is faithfully portioned out to
every muscle of the system and every
set of muscles, each its rightful SHARE
the stomach among others.
When the external body gets weary
after a long days work, the stomach
bears it's share Of the fatigue, but if
when the body is weary with the days
toll we put it to bed, giving the stom-
ach meanwhile five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives us one of the largest
amounts of earthly enjoyment-and if
this overtaXing is continued it must as
certainly wear out prematurely as the
body itself will if it is Overworked ev-
cry day.
And if persons eat between meals
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast in the morning until 1, 2, 3
or 1 o'clock next day; hence it is that
so many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and so con-
stantly that it becomes too weak to
work at all.

MAKING

P. f. Morgan in Practical Farmer
gives the following information on
how to make cheese:
1t is best to use both nights and
mornings milk. Stir all together till
well mixed. pour into a boiler "a wash
boiler if you have One) on the stove
and heat slowly till the thermometer
stands at 90 degrees, stirring it often
to prevent scorching. Now pour it off
into your tub or churn if you have one
If you have twelve gallons of milk, it
will require one rennet tablet. If less
milk, take less of tablet. Use rennet in
proportion of one tablet to a hundred
pounds of milk. Dissolve the rennet in
about two tablespoonful of warm wa
ter When the milk has cooled down to
So degrees, put in the dissolved rennet,
stirring constantly until thoroughly
mixed. In about three minutes you
can see the milk changing to cheese.
Cease stirring now and cover up for
fifteen minutes. a higher temperature
than So degrees hastens the process,
but wastes the butter fat and makes
the curd tough. Handle the curd very
gently till it is solid, as rough or quick
treatment causes escape of butter fat
and impOveriShes the cheese. Now lift
the cloth, and you will see the whole
mass coagulated. Take a long knife
and cut clear to the bottom with long.
slow, sweeping strokes. Let stand a
few minutes and dip off all freed whey
81 o11t &c
before, leaving curd in inch squares.
Dip off whey again. Again cut curd,
dip whey as it collects very rapidly,
and the tub can be tilted so as to drain
off or if a churn is used tilt it and put
a saucer inside to prevent curd from
blocking the passage after pulling out
the churn plug. Let it drain this way,
cutting occasionally, as before, till the
curd is quite solid and squeaks. Then
remove, salt to taste and chop fine
with a chopping knife. Lay a square
of muslin in your hoop pail or peck
measure). The muslin should be dipped
and wrung out in hot water, Pour in
the chopped curd and bring corners of
muslin together and pin over top of
curd. Never mind if hoop is ever so
full. 1t will sink down. Set to drip on
top of pail or pan. Put light weights
on at first.
Let it now stand this way for four
hours. Take out and change muslin,
turn cheese, return to hoop, add more
weight and repeat this till cheese only
makes the cloth damp. Usually
change cloth and turn cheese about
twice a day. Thirty-six hours is suffi-
cient time for a small size cheese to
press. Now take from hoop, cut cheese
cloth to fit around cheese large enough
to lap on both ends of cheese. Cut two
pieces to fit ends Now smear all over
with good salt butter, put your cheese
cloth smoothly on and paste down
smooth with butter to keep out cheese
fly; put cheese in cool, dry, airy place
and rub and turn every day to keep off
the mold If butter dries In, put on a
little more. The length of time for
cheese to ripen depends on size of
cheese, as a small cheese ripens sooner
than a large one. l would leave it I'M
cut from three to five weeks.

ducking in the river and taken to an

a tumbler of very hot brandy and wa

"a fortnight replied Joe. Hadn't
