The SilO.

King gives the following statements
in regard to building stone sllos, says
Hoard's Dairyman:-
THE portion of the silo wall which
Is below ground better be about two
feet thick and laid in cement rather
than lime. the cement being desirable
because lime mortar becomes hard 80
very slowly in heavy walls. especially
below ground. After the wall Is two
feet above ground good lime mortar
may be used. but in this case there
ought to be at least two months for
the wall to season and set before flll-
ing. The upper portion of the silo wall
need not be heavier than eighteen
inches, and IL the size Of stone permits
Of It the outer surface Of the wall may

CAR WILL HEAR DELEGATES
Great Excitement in St. Petersburg
Because Of Decision.

St. Petersburg, June 19.-Not since
the assassination of Grand Duke Ser
gius has 90 much excitement been
caused in St. Petersburg as follows the
announcement made late last night
that the cazr had reconsidered his de-
termination to snub the delegates from
the Moscow zemstvo and had agreed to
grant them an audience.
Further than that, he has consented
that they may talk freely and boldly
of the conditions of the country with.
out fear of punishment for anything
that they may say.
This marks new epoch in Russian
history and, it is generally argued, is
preliminary to the formation Of a ma
tional assembly and the granting Of
limited constitutional rights to the
Russian people.
The delegates from the zemstvo and
municipal congress will meet the czar
today at Peterhof palace.

Desires Evils Removed.

''In all branches of the government
there is tendency greatly to increase
unnecessary and largely perfunctory
letter writing. In the army and navy
the increase of paper work is a serious
menace to the efficiency Of fighting
officers, who are often required by
bureaucratic to spend time in making
reports which they should spend in
increasing the efficiency Of battleships
or regiments under them.
"As regardn this matter you will
please confer with the assistant secre-
taries Of the war department and navy
department and request them to sub
NIT to me a scheme for doing away
with the evils referred to.
A'In the civil departments the abuse
of letter writing amounts not merely
to the waste of time of the government
ser cant responsible for it, but also to
the impeding Of public business.
please consider also the matter Of
enforcing accountability for prop.

caucy on the district bench caused by
the death of Judge Charles B. Bellin-

Judge Cotton will not be required to

1t is not expected that Judge Cotton

Chicken Notes.

Green bone should be fed three times
a week to the laying hens and daily to
the male bird.
Remember that lousy hen cannot
give you the results that she could II
free from lice.
A few drops of tincture Of iron in
the drinking water make an excellent
spring tonic for the fowls.
All deformed chicks should be killed
as soon as Matched. 1t Is waste of
time to try to raise them.
If the eggs from certain pen are
found to be largely infertlle, lose NO
time in getting a new male to head the
pen.
Never set deformed or Ill shaped
egg. 1t Is waste Of time. Select the
best shaped eggs and be sure that they
are from strong, vigorous stock.-Com.

Delivering Cream to Creameries.


In the summer time, at least, cream
must be delivered to the creamery
every day, II good article of butter
is to be made. In the winter sys-
tenn Of delivering cream every other
day may do well enough, but 1t
should not be made to suit the stua-
ton in summer. When whole milk
was hauled to the factory the farmer
realized that 1t was necessary to haul
1t every day. With the hauling Of
the cream the work is greatly re.
duced, because lighter rig may be
used. The patron should therefore
be contented with this saving in cost
and not try to double the saving by
establishing system of every other
day delivery.
