BITTINGER.


The hail storm which passed oyer
this place last THURSDAY afternoon
was the most remarkable of the kind
within the experience of the oldest
residents. The remarkable features
of the storm were the very small area
covered by it and the length of the
period during which the hail fell.
Within a mile of the centre of the
storm no hail was seen and but a
slight sprinkle of rain. This was true
on all sides of the storm, while within
this small circle rain and hail poured
down in torrents for fifteen minutes,
covering the ground with ice to an
average depth of An inch or more. A
large amount of damage was done to
corn and garden plants.
The outside visitors to this village

DAYTON FOR
SECRETAR NAVY.
West virginian Said to Have Been
Selected BY President.
MANY YEARS IN CONGRESS.
Now Represents the Second District
of West Virginia-Sketch of His
Career.

Washington, June 15.-"President
r osevelt has rendered the position
OF Secretary of the Navy to Repre-
sentative Aston &. Dayton, of West
Virginia
This statement was made by one
of Mr.. Dayton's closest friends last
night and after the former had held
his conference with the President
yesterday. Mr.. Dayton left for his
home at Philippi last night and will
give his answer to the President in u
day or two. 1t is said by his frie, IS
here that Mr.. Dayton will accept ;ne
position.
Mr.. Dayton, probably more + AN
any other man in Congress, has one

American Navy, and his sell ton
would meet with very gener / an
proyal.
Aston Gordon Dayton was rrn at
Philippi, Barbour county, Y now
West Virginia, on October ), 1857,
and has lived all his life in I've town
of his birth, which is noteJ histori-
cally for having been the So ne of the
first land battle of the civi way.
Mr.. Dayton comes from New Eng
land stock. His father, Sp-ncer Day
ton, was native of Litchfirld county
ct. At 10 years of age, in September,
1878, young Dayton entered the sec
ond year of the Preparatory Depart
Z 'nent of the University of West Vir-
mia, and during the year made
Ap" beside the regular studies, the
Greek of the first preparatory years
in which he was deficient. Those We're
hard times in this country and in
consequence Mr.. Dayton's class was
a small one, and when it came to
commencement day "a June, 1878, it
consisted of only siA members.
He then took ur he study of law
and was admitted o the bar in the
fall of his graduating year; in 1879
he was appointed TO fill out an unex-
pired term as prosecuting attorney of
Upshur county, w. Va, and was

ever length is wished, depending on
the size of the silo you wish to build.
Our sticks are eight feet long, lap
across ends, and are spiked. These
frames are set at different widths, be-
ing nearest together near the bottom
of the slo, where the greatest strain
comes. The first two are Is and IS
inches apart, the next two feet, and
from this up to three and one-half feet

horse wagon, while our rectangular silo
having the same capacity. required sew
eral two-horse loads of heavy timber,
and yet it bulges at the sides, this one
stays tight, as the pressure is practi-
cally equal all around the silo. There
are no corners to speak of in this one,
and no spoiled silage.
We dug a ditch about Is inches
wide and two feet deep around where
the framework; was to set; this we
filled with small stones and cemented.
The center was on hard-pan leveled up
with small stones and cemented, and
after silo was made run up little on
the side of the silo so rats could not
get under the bottom. Rats and mice,
IL possible, will burrow under a silo
and let air in and spoil considerable
silage. On this foundation we set our
first framework and succeeding ones
at various widths as before stated.
each section held up by a piece of two
by-six under the end of each piece, so
that for each section eight short pieces
are required besides the two-by-six
pieces. On the inside of this frame is
one thickness of matched lumber run
ming up and down, and the only care
is to get each board tight at the ends
of the framework section. One thick
ness is better than two, or two with
paper between, as 1t will dry out quick
er, and last longer. The outside may
be covered or not, as desired We COW
cred ours with matched lumber for
looks largely, although it makes a
dead-air space, so that though ours
faces northwest and the mercury goes
almost out of sight sometimes, we are
not bothered with frozen silage. We
have two doors on one side for fill
ing, and four doors open into the barn
for feeding. These are simply traps
between sections of the framework, and
are held in place by the silage. A
roof can be built or not as desired. We
like one to keep out snow, ETC., but 1t
is not necessary. An eight-point roof
can be made. or single-pitch roof. We
have two rods running around silo, and
these by use of the truss shown in
cut cover the lower six sections, and
are ample for the purpose. The truss
is of two-inch plank cut out as in the
cut and placed in center of section at
points marked on the framework so
that the rod strikes the eight outside
corners and the width cut in the truss.
Several of these silos have been built

The eoslings and Ducklings.

Goslings and ducklings grow very rap
Idly but frequently show signs of lame
ness when nearly grown, and are also af-
fiicted with vertigo. The cause is due
to feeding too largely of ground grain.
During warm weather they will thrive
better if allowed nothing but grass All
aquatic brids require bulky substances.
and will not thrive on diet of exclu-
sively concentrated food. Animal foods,
such as meat-meal, finely ground bone.
ETC., are also excellent for such uIrds. A
Peking duckling If forced by high feed
ing from the time 1t is hatched will
weigh Ave pounds when ten weeks old,
costing about 30 cents for food and SELL
ing for double that price.-Farm and

people at last recover themselves and
say: Well go your yourselves, you
heartless tsars, mikados. ministers,
bishops, priests. generals, editors, specu-
lators, or however you may be called,
go you yourselves under those shells and

will not go. Leave us in peace; to

Religious to the point of fanaticism,
Count Tolstoy is not in the least what
the present day calls orthodox; and
without ceasing denounces the supersti-
tions and dogmas that characterize the
Russian Orthodox church, the Greek
Catholic. He declares the church false
to the principles of Christ, and thus
holds it up to derision: ORTHODOX re-
ligion brings to my mind only a lot of
long-haired men, who are very arrog-
ant, without instruction clothed in silk
and velvet, decorated with ornaments
and jewels, whom one calls archbishops,
and metropolitans, and thousands of
other men, with hair uncombed, who
fad themselves under the most servile
domination by few individuals, who,
under color of dispensing the sacrament
cheat and rob the people How can have
faith in this church and believe, If to a
man who asks from the bottom of his
soul 1t replies only by the most miser-
able deceptions, by insanities, and af-
firms that no one has the right to make
any other reply to these 0uestions?"
Repeatedly in the last few years has
Count Tolstoy given open EXPRESSION of
his judgment of the ruler G. the Great
Russian empire. He holds lin we'll
meaning but misinformed; speaks of
him as this unfortunate, entangled
young man, recognized as the leader of
130,000,0O0 of people, continually de-
ceived and compelled to contradict him
self" The story goes that the czar, on
his way to The Hague conference, sent a
most carefully worded invitation to
Tolstoy to meet him at one of the sta
tlons, and when the latter appeared,
clad in the peasant garb, he was received
with as much honor as would have been a
brother king. Nicholas asked Tolstoy
what the latter thought of the coming
conference; to which. so the stocy goes,
Tolstoy made characteristic reply thar
he could not believe in the cars project
until the czar should set practical ex.

their lands, as was done by the French,

is surely strong language, revolutionary;
