WILL YOU BUILD A SILOp

Ten years ago it would have been
somewhat risky to advise that a man
with as few as dozen cows build a
silo, but as builders have learned
more about the construction of silo
the cost has been materially reduc-
ed, Notwithstanding the increase in
the cost of lumber. 1t is not within
the province of this department to
give the names of silo builders, but
they are easily obtainable from adver-
tisements in various agricultural pa
pers or by inquiry to the experiment
station of your state.
That the siio is one of the most
economical ways of preserving food
for COWS is we'll known and frequent
'ly one can find a structure in the
neighborhood which he can copy with
a few instructions if he is handy with
tools, for they are not difficult to
build. The silo does away with much
of the disagreeable work OF corn har
vesting and furnishes a food for the
COWS as good as the green food in
the shape of steamed clover that is
so valuable for poultry If you can
find any farmer within reasonable dis
lance of you who owns a silo it viii
pay to visit and talk with HMM.

the situation in the horse market dur
ing recent years has had a great deal
to do with determining the lines of
work to be undertaken
In reference to the increasing prices
of horses and the work of his bureau
to relieve the present shortage in the
supply of good animals, the doctor
said:
From the years 1899 to 1904, inclu-
i've, there has been an increase, rang
ing from $40 to $50 in the average
prices for all classes of horses on the
Chicago market. This shows what
always happens during a period of
scarcity, namely, large increase in
the price of the best grades, the aver
age price of carriage horses increas-
ing $3.50 per head but there is one
very remarkable feature in the
large increase in the prices
Tor the cheaper grades. Horses for
general use show the largest increase
of any, S35 per head; bussers and
TRAINERS have increased S25 per
head, and southern chunks S14
per head. The relative Increase
in these cheap classes has
been crater than that of the better
ones. and the fact shows clearly that
the demand for horses has rapidly in
creased"

The Worlds workshop.

AT a time when AN effort may be
made to create the impression that
we are in danger of losing our foreign
markets for manufactured products
this weeks bulletin of the Census
Bureau contains some startling stats
tics The value of manufactured
goods exported from the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 30th was $543. 600, 297, against
&452, ALI, 921 in 1904, the next largest
year. In 1895 the value of manufac-
tured exports was $1S3, 595.743. The
increase in ten years has thus been
practically threefold. As far back as
1878 the figures were $123, SO7 ,196, and
in the seventeen years to 1895 they in
creased but S6O,OOO,OOO. In 1896 COM
menced the great rise, and. although
there have been temporary recessions,
centage Of manufactured exports is
per cent of the total exports, against
the former rate of less than 20 per
cent.
While craftsmanship demands a
look to the future and an insistence
upon the wisdom Of the Blaine-Mc-
Kinley policy of reciprocity in nom
competitive products, the condition Of
American manufactures is not so seri-
ously threatened by any loss of our
foreign markets as to form any basis
for tariff revision under the guise of
a dual tariff. With manufactured ex-
ports S9O.OOO,OOO greater than in any
previous year, the export trade can
not be said to be sick and anguish
ing, though steps to guard its future
are meritor;ous and worthy.-Cincin-

Free Raw Materials.

The one definite and aggressive note
sounded at the Chicago reciprocity
convention was the demand for free
raw materials. How that carries us
back to the Cleveland campaigns. The
men who voice the demand are just
about twenty years behind Grover
Cleveland. They are trying to re-
verse Garfeld's declaration and have
the Republicans build their camp fires
ON the ground which the Democrats
had abandoned. If these men were
old enough when Cleveland was a
candidate they either voted for him
or should have done so.
1t is our opinion that if there is
fraud in the category of tariff discus
sion it is this demand for free raw
materials. The manufacturer grasps
all the protection he can get, which
our thorough belief in protection does
not prevent us from recognizing as be-
ing sometimes too much. and still hold
ing on to it demands the further adj
vantage Of free raw materials. His
u 10 lIcc uiutS, lIee WOOl, lTce lTOu
ore, free coal, free everything, except
that which he produces. There is no
such thing as raw material. Wool is
the farmers finished product as truly
as cloth is the manufacturers or a
coat the tailor's. For the sake of the
general good the American people
have been willing to place duties on
manufactured products in full recogni-
ton Of the fact that selfish men often
take advantage of them and make
unjust profits by reason Of the tariff.
When the selfishness of the direct
beneficiaries of our tariff laws reaches
that state Of sublimity which causes
them to demand that other interests
be sacrificed for their benefit they are
getting on dangerous ground. When
we have free raw materials the prod
ucts manufactured from them will be
free.-Creston Qa.) advertiser"
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1905-10-19
FARM NOTES

Good young sheep should always
command a market, bat such stock
should not be sold off the farm
Length of staple is often begotten
at the expense of fineness and this
should always be avoided.
In investing in sheep to form a
flock purchase none but first-class ami
mails, healthy and vigorous.
Field peas make an excellent feed
for ali kinds of stock and especially
for sheep.
If you have on hand considerable
number of good growing young birds,
1t will be we'll to pay particular at
tention to housing them during the
fall months.
The coop should be closed tight to
keep out rats or weasels If these
animals exist N the neighborhood the
chickens must be protected, but not
by closing them in air tight.
Place a good-sized piece of wire
screen over the front of the coop to
admit fresh air. -''r
Some poultry raisers clean out a
good many of the old birds in mid
summer, and in this way make room
for the chickens. If this is done and
the young birds are then allowed to
go on the roosts, nail a board four
or six inches in width the whole
length of the perch. This will pre-
vent crooked breastbones which are
likely to result from roosting on mar
row perches or poles.
The pig pen should be dry and
clean. 1t is we'll to have two pens
lone for feeding and one for sleep
ing. In this way one pen is always
kept dry and clean, as the droppings
will be left in the other pen; clean
daily.
The pigs should be gotten out on
the ground as soon as possible, so
that they will not become inactive or
deformed. The feed should be in
creased gradually. Foods rich in pro-
tein should be used, such as oats, bar
ley, etc.
AS the pigs grow older little corn
may be added to the ration. 1t is
often well to scatter some shelled
corn on the floor of the pen so that
the SOW will take exercise in picking
up the grains.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1905-10-19

III the business interests of the coun-
ny want reciprocity along protection
lines they can have it if they will
only agree on some feasible plan
something they never have been able
TO agree on before If they want
tarlH revision, they ,can have it also
on the same united demand for it,
out 1t can be put down as certain
mat whatever is done in the way of
car1n revision or reciprocity will not
De done along free-rade lines. The
reciprocity of Blaine, Mckinley and
Roosevelt is all right. 1t is based
upon the Republican protective policy.
As President Mckinley said at Buff
falo:
To take from our neighbors such
OF their products as we can use with
out harm to our industries or labor;
In other words, such of their products
as are not produced by our own labor,
and obtain in exchange markets for
the class OF merchandise which we de-
sire to sell, and which the countries
In question require for their own use,
differs materially from the reciprocity
OF 1S55-1S56 which was merely free
trade in articles of mutual production,
articles which, when imported, COM
pete with the home producer"
This was President McKinley's idea
OF reciprocity, and it is the kind that
every Republican can indorse. 1t was
Blaine's policy, and if the Chicago
convention will adopt it as basis for
its reciprocity platform nobody can
object 1t is Republican doctrine, pure
and simple. In the language Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Minneapolis: 'As
q nation, we stand in the very fore
front of the giant international in
dustriai competition of the day. We
cannot afford by any freak of policy
to forfeit the position to which we
have thus triumphanuy attained by
the present protective policy."-Ke-

his usual rough travelling garb-the
uniform Of a private soldier, with
merely the straps of his rank on the
shoulders of his blouse. He had not
a sword with him. In this guise he
was met by a messenger. bringing
word that at Lees request hostilities
had been suspended pending Grants
arrival to negotiate. Sheridan wished
to go ahead at once and "clean 'em
out" as he believed he could do.
Holding the impetuous cavalry lead
er in check. Grant sent Lee word that
he was coming. alla would meet him
where convenient He rode on with
his staff, Of whom General Horace
Porter Is perhaps now the only sur
vivor, and was directed to the Mclean
residence. There he met Lee, whom
he had known in the Mexican War.
Lee came in new dresS uniform,
with a fine sword at his Sde. With
him was but one aid, Colonel Mar
shall Of Baltimore.
After few moments of greeting,
Grant sat down and wrote out the
terms Of surrender as they came into
his mind. AS he wrote, 1T occurred to
him that the Confederate officers
would need their horses, and that 1t
would be q humiliation to ask them TO
give up side-arms. Lee did not speak
till the whole terms were written.
Then, reading it, he expressed the
conviction that 1t would be well re-
ceived. He asked If the horse offer
included artillerymen, and General
Grant replied that it did not, but a
moment later added that as the SOL
diers were probably mostly farmers
who would need the animals, he would
order that wherever a Confederate es-
tablished claim to horse or mule he
might keep it. Lee wrote an accept
ance Of the terms and the two parted,
after general introductions. They met
again the next morning for brief chat
between the lines, and Grant then
went on to Washington. = Youths

THE CELLAR AS A MILK ROOM.

THE CELLAR AS A MILK ROOM.
1t is not always the most convenient
thing in the world for a practical far
mer to build a dairy house. His
dairy may not be large enough to
justify it and then again, he may
actually lack the necessary means.
The writer has seen cases like this
and furthermore had experince in
them, so he knows what it is. But
there are other ways by which to
solve the problem. The cellar, for in
stance, will often answer for the pur-
pose. The essential part is that it has
a dry floor and is so ventilated as to
be exempt from any disagreeable or
earthly odor Preferably, the floor
should be covered with cement. The
ventilation should be such, too, that
the place can be shut up during the
day and opened at night as is desired;
this for the reason that the night air
is dry and cool, whereas that in the
day time being warmer, contains more
moisture and il allowed to enter the
cellar will there be deposited as dew
on the walls which are cooler. On this
account, opening doors and windows
too much during the day is often the
cause of many a damp, unwholesome
house How much more should it be
observed then, as regards a cellar
where milk is kept-Written for The
Epitomist
