For facility in handling the slaves they
should be placed inside the scaffolding
or set up in the pit before the scaffold-
ing is erected. Carefully plumb the
first stave set up. This is toe nailed at
the top to one of the by 6 posts first
set up. One man works at the top and
one at the bottom in placing slaves.
Another is required to raise the slaves
to position. Each stave Immediately it
is set in place is toe nailed at the top to
the last stave set.
Round iron or steel rods five-eighths
inch thick are used for hoops. With the
post construction shown in the first
cut, it is more convenient to have hoops
in sections for ease in handling. Three
sections will be sufficient for twelve
foot silO, with four for a sixteen foot.
Where the upright posts are omitted,
a practical way of fastening the ends
Of hoops is shown in Fig. 1 of the sec
ond cut. Lugs should be either welded
or turned up at the corners of the plate,
as indicated, high enough to positively
catch the hoop and hold it from turning
In its place from the cross strain. To
provide against swelling and strain
the hoops should be made amply long
to let out as required.
1t is well to begin placing slaves near
the point where the line of doors is to
come. Select the place for the door
and start saving in the edge of the
stave at the line where the top and bot
tom of the door will be. Insert the saw,
as shown by the line in Fig. 2, making
a bevel with the opening largest on the
inside of the silo. The door can only
be inserted and removed from the in
side. A good size for a door is about
two and one-half feet long by two feet
wide.

HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND.

The best known guide to married happi-
ness is to hold the husband as you won the
lover-by cheerfulness of disposition, pa
tience and keeping your youthful looks.
Of course great many women are handl-
capped by those ills to which women are
heir The constantly recurring troubles
which aff1ict her are apt to cause a sour
disposition, nervousness and beclouded
mind.
Dr.R.V. Pierce, the specialist in woman's
diseases, of Buffalo, N Y, after a long eX-
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
a liquid extract, would help the majority
of cases. This he called Dr. PierCe's Fa-
vorite Prescription. Thousands of WOMEN
have testified to its merits, and it is put
up in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers This is
a potent tonic for the womanly system.
So much faith has DR.. Pierce in its merits
that he offers $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
OF Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure. All he asks is fair and reasonable
trial of his means of cure.
Mrs r Dolan of Madrid, Perkins Co., Nebr.,
writes III was cured of painful periods by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
his Compound Extract of Smart Weed. think
Dr. Pierces medicines the best in the world"
UFavorite Prescription" makes weak

no substitute for the medicine which works
wonders for weak women.

There's dust on the kite and the little

Stands still as ever he can.

For the voice OF the brave little man.
There's never a song OF bird, nor bloom
