style of Silo, only build some kind, and
do not be deferred from building on

can be built i'll the barn for $500, if
you buy everything. If your main OBJ
ject is to build up your farm and !n-
crease your stock, raise all the corn
you can. Apply all the dressing you
can obtain to your land in the fall and
ploW it under, using not more than SIX
cords to the acre. If you are planting
for the factory do not try to get more
than $40 at two cents per pound, and
from eight to ten tons OF fodder to the
acre, but try to get more acres, and you
will be astonished to see how your
acreage will increase year by year.
Follow corn with oats and peas or
hungarian and clover and do not forget
this same piece of ground again in three
years. 1t will not take so much dress
ing the next time, and you can add on
large piece of the old, poor land, and
you will soon be over your whole farm
and have it carrying COW to the acre.
Do not let Brother Rogers fool you
with his potato talk. Tell him you are
building for the future and when you
get your farm in proper shape it will be
time enough to talk potatoes.
In regard to the method of storing
fodder in the silo, the whole secret of
success is excluding the air, and the
method that secures that end the most
perfectly and with the least labor is
the best. We cut and bind our corn
with harvester and binder, then haul
it i'll and put it into the silo in bundles.
We also take it out and feed it in
bundles. If proper care is taken i'll
packing it keeps perfectly that way,
and the cattle eat it all. 1t seems as
easy as any, but | do not care how it is
put in if you only have it there in good
shape for cattle and enough of it to
carry them through the winter, for it is
hard to get anything to fill its place
when it is gone.

THE SILO.
BY r. W. ELLIS, EMBDEN.

The silo is for the preservation of the
corn plant. | would never build one
for storing anything else we can grow
in this latitude, but on farms where
corp can be successfully grown. too much
cannot be said in it's favor. The silo
will make our barren, sandy, pine plains
land into the most profitable farms We
have if rightly handled, and it need not
be an expensive process. Perhaps l
might as we'll relate our method of pro-
cedure. In building the silo we took a
band in the barn, of which one side was
the outside of the barn. On this side
we nailed in two by three scantling
and on these nailed tarred paper max
ing ali interlining between the inside
sheathing and tie outside of the barn,
giving two dead air spaces, to prevent
freezing. The hay came against two
sides, which, of course, needed no pro-
lection, and next to the floor we sealed
upon both sides. For the bottom we
have dry earth. 1t is the best material
as it will not crack nor wear out. We
placed the first timberS SIX inches from
the ground, took a good sound, solid
one-mch hemlock board pressed it down
hard onto and into the ground some
what, letting it come up half way of
these first timbers, and nailed it on
horizontally, then brushed little dry
dirt against it, and it was perfectly air
tight so far. Then we took sound
boards. free from shakes or rotten
knots, planed and matched and nailed
them on perpendicularly, the lower end
resting on the base board aforesaid,

FEW CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS DIE.

Low Mortality Among Members of Mrs.
Eddy's Church Reported to Boston Meet
ing.
Special Despatch to the n. Y. Herald
BosToN, MASS, June 30. Gratifying
in the highest degree to the 5000 Chris
tian Scientists who crowded Mechanics
Hall this afternoon were the evidences
of remarkable growth of the church as
shown in the annual reports.
The clerk of the mother church re-
ported an increase in membership OF
8, 696 the last year, making the total
membership q, 796. This increase is the
largest for one year in the history OF
the church. There are 566 organized
churches, gain of So during the year.
The number of societies not organized,
but holding regular meetings, is POS, a
gain OF 10.
Particular significance was attached
by the followers of Mrs. Eddy to the
announcement of the death rate among
members of the church as being but 2. "a
per 200, against 1878 per 1000 in the
city of Boston in 1902.
The supreme hour of the convention
came when representative healerS from
dlI StCUlOIlS VI GlllS COullCly duu LuAOPC
gave reports of the condition of the
faith and told of remarkable cures.
One man declared that he had cured a
cancer of fifteen years standing, where
the patient, a woman, had been oper-
ated upon four times by the surgeons.
The speaker gave the absent treatment.
The fame of the cure travelled one hun
dred miles and brought five hundred
converts.
Another speaker reported a cure OF
necrosis of the bone, where portions OF
the bone had dropped out at the hip and
ankle. He said the patient was now as
we'll as ever save for slight limp.
According to the reports Christian
Science is now gaining faster i'll the
West than i'll the East.
One report, which was received with
enthusiasm, was that of George W.
Reed of Berlin, which indicated a
growth of two hundred percent in the
year and showed that the Christian
Science textbook had been circulated in
Russia, Hungary, Bavaria, Italy, Bel
gium, Holland and South Africa.
Announcement was made that the
Rev. Irving c. Tomlinson of Concord,
n. H., had been elected as the new
president of the mother church. This
despatch from Mrs Eddy, pastor emer-
titus, was read:
Give my sincere thanks to my deal
church for this loving and comprenslve
despatch" Sundays message.)
\ despatch OF greeting and thanks
was sent to Mrs. Eddy in return.

The halr is one of the greatest pr' moters OF

 Force Matters.
BUCHANAN's DIFFICULT TASK.

Men From Small Cities Object to a
 Scale Higher Than Schedule-They
 Say It Could Not Be Enforced After Long Dispute Committee
 Was Appointed to Investigate.
 Chicago, Dec 1.-President Buchan- an Of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers faced a difficult problem last night when he endeavored to induce representatives of various locals of the union to frame national wage scale to supersede those now in effect
 Twenty-Five iron workers, holding credentials from as many locals, gath cred here to adjust the wage problem of the union, and they were unable to agree. The men in Chicago and New York, who are getting $450 a day, wanted a national rate higher than the schedule, and those from the small CT cities declared it could not be en- forced.
 After hours of wrangling sub- committee of seven was appointed to investigate the matter and make a re port to the twenty-five.
 The seven, who are as follows, met last night: c. Massey, New York; c. Hopkins, Newark, N. J.; Frank Tho man, Chicago; Patrick Maxim, Chi cago; N. Gallentine, Pittsburg; J. Brett, Milwaukee; J. Finnegan, St Louis
 When the committee met the three New York and Chicago men again tried to force the others to agree to the wage rate in the large cities. They argued that when men from the New York and Chicago unions were taken to small places they suffer reduction in pay. They declared that iron workers now numbering 12,O0O men could easily compel contractors to grant their demands and make even the American Bridge Go do as they bid. ..e
 But the men from Chicago and New York could not win over the others. President Buchanan undertook the role of peacemaker. but was unable to accomplish anything and the gather ing broke up.
 The New York and Chicago men said that unless their proposition was conceded they would break away from the international organization and form independent bodies. This Bu- chanan Is trying to prevent and he has called meeting of the committee for to-day. @

First the cable which hoists the iron buckets used for conveying the dirt from the excavation snapped, and a number of laborers in the trench mar rowly escaped death; then the boom on the derrick of the hoisting machine broke, and another gang of men were in peril. Later one of the laborers fell into the excavation, broke his back and died. Lately Frank Fitzpatrick of this place fell in at the same place and died in two days.

 After the autopsy and statements from attendants, the coroners physician declared Turner's death due to sre- fined alcoholism" He found that the victim had been suffering from chronic meningitis and softening of the brain, with other ma1adies of lesser nature
