Fasten small pulleys to the side Of =
rafter as shown in cut. Pass rope over
pulley and fasten to lower edge of shield.
Let the other end (5) hang down in
silo within reach. The shield should
be placed not more than one-fourth If
the distance to the back side Of the silo.
The curve of the blow pipe a. should
be adjusted at an angle Of about 40 de-
grees if possible. The shield should be
at right angle with the line Of the fly
ing silage. BY raising the shield to va
rious angles as shown at and 3, the
right adjustment can be found when the
silage will be well mixed and distrib-
uted evenly over the silo. If the blow
pipe enters silo at the gable, the top of
shield must be triangular, and the
hinges made long, or better, the shield
hung to bar nailed from one side to the
other. If the roof is very fiat, 1t may be
necessary to cut door a little lower
and use it till the silo Is nearly full.
When the shield is adjusted Alright all
the man in the pit has to do is to adjust
the doors and tramp the silage.

.FLoCkING INTO CANADA
u11r1d1AT1oN FROM DAKOTA
AND ADJOINING STATES.
Major Edwards, United States CONSUL
General at Montreal, Describes
the Movement 40 Due to
Scarcity Of Land.

Montreal, Nov. :15.-Major Allison
Edwards, United States Consul-Gen-
eral, who returned to-day from . visit
to his home 1T Fargo. North Dakota,
said in an interview: 1.-THE proper
way to describe the manner in which
tho people OF North Dakota are COM
Ing over into Western Canada is to
say they are coming over In droves.
Among the people there did not seem
to be any thought Of there being Q
boundary line at all. It is simply q
question:" added the major, 'of there
not being any more land in North Da-
kota and the surrounding States, and
the people are docking to Canada to
get good farms. Naturally the num-
Der that will come over will increase
all the time, and I may say the people
you are getting are the best people in
the west. They are we'll supplied with
money and are well acquainted with
the conditions under which they will
have to work." The agents Of tho
Government located at different points
in the United States are prepared to
give the fullest information regarding
homestead and other lands.

HINTS FOR DAIRYING.

Feed, water, salt and milk regularly.
Don't guess at what your cows are do
ing-test them.
Keep your milk and butter machine
well ''oiled'-feed the COW plenty of a
variety.
Cows naturally possess dainty appe-
tites-if they eat harness and old bones
their owner has neglected them.
Begin training the COW when she is a
calf to docility and the halter habit. A
halter-wise COW is worth much more
than q wild COW.
Keep all the really good cows and
raise more. The value of this advice will
be appreciated If you start out to try to
buy good cow.
A good cow will annually pay at least
$50 profit above the cost of keep, to say
nothing Of the value Of her manure
extra good ones will pay SIS.
Don't shelter 60 the cows on the south
side of a barb wire fence during a cold
storm If you expect the yield to remain
undiminished. Artificial heat is cheaper
than animal heat.-American Dairy
man.

WHAT MAKES A NATIoNP

What makes a nation? Bounding lines
that lead from shore to shore.
That trace its girth on silent hills or on
the prairie floor.
That hold the rivers and the lakes and all
the fields between
The lines that stand about the land bar
rier unseen7
Or Is 1t guns that hold the coast. or ships
that sweep the seas,
The flag that fiaunts Its glory in the rae
ing Of the breeze;
The chants Of peace, or battle hymn. or
dirge, or vlctor's song,
Or parchment screed, or stored deed, that
makes q nation strong?
What makes a nation? Is 1t ships or
states or flags or guns?
Or Is 1t that great common heart which
beats In all her sons
That deeper faith that truer faith. the
trust in one for all
Which sets the goal for every soul that
hears his country call?
This makes a nation great and strong and
certain to endure,
This subtle inner voice that thrills man
and makes him sure.
Which makes him know there Is n north or
south or east or west,
But that his land must ever stand the
bravest and THE best.
