shown in the second cut and mailing
the lath solid to the half inch ceiling
without Turing out. 1t is usually rec
commended in lathing silos that the
edges of the lath be cut on a bevel,
SO that when nailed to the wall a dove
tailed joint is formed for the mortar,
or that the lath be set out on Turing
strips, SO that the mortar may clinch
behind the lath. Experience shows
that this is entirely unnecessary.
The plaster was made of one part
portland cement to two parts of good
sharp sand. Two coats of this mortar
were used, making the plaster a full
half inch thick over the lath. The sec
ond coat extended continuously from
the bottom of the brickwork to the top
of the silo, uniting the foundation and
the superstructure and giving an air
tight wall for the entire silo.
After the silo wall was completed
conical shingled roof was put Oh, q
chute built over the doors through which
the silage is thrown down and the
small space between the silo and the
barn rooted over, connecting the two.
The silo was then completed, ready for
painting.
In order to preserve the silo in good
condition it is absolutely necessary
that the half inch lumber with which
the silo is ceiled be protected from
dampness. To this end the plaster
must be good quality and kept perfect
ly water tight by cementing up any
cracks that may appear, so that the
wood shall receive no moisture from
the silage The wall must also be
ventilated, for by allowing free cir
culation of air between the ceiling and
the lining the lumber will be kept dry.
This silo has been filled twice, and
both years the silage has kept perfectly

Letter from Litchfield.

John Rodan2e e, recorder of Litch-
field, writes of Litchfeld's experience
with meters, as follows:-
''In reply to your letter of May 28th
would say that we introduced the
meter system about a year ago, that
is we compel patrons to install meters
when they hive the water in IL e
house. When they use water for
lawn sprlnkling only, we charge six
dollars for the season for six hours
use daily. We buy the crown meter
at s12.4o complete from the National
Meter Co., of N. Y. and sell them to
patrons for $500 and charge them
20 cents per 1000 gallons. Satisfaction
is mutual"

In the second sentence it was ordered
