Use and Value of the si1o.

Use ANA N0Iue OF the S1lOs
The use and value of the silo has
made phenomenal progress throughout
the country during recent years. In
1888 the United States Agricultural
Department reported only ninety silos
In the country. The recent report finds
approximately 100000. Formerly the
benefits of the silo were almost wholly
unknown to the average farmer; now
1t Is found to be a necessity on thou
sands of farms. This is especially true
In the corn belt, where the silo is almost
necessity in economical dairying.
Recent experiments prove conclusively
that the use of silage is quite as much
of a necessity in beef production. 1t
not only provides palatable, succu-
lent, healthy food, but enables the
farmer to keep about twice the number
of live stock as before the advent of
the silo. 1t not only produces nearly
double the quantity of dairy products
and beef, but augments the fertility Of
the soil. The silo is here to stay and
every farmer should plan to have one.
With all it's other advantages, there is
no other way that roughage can be so
cheaply stored.

SACRED AND SECULAR.

By Rev. DR.. William G. Stinson
Whatsoever We do in wsrd or deed
do all in the name of the Lord jesus
Col. 3: II.
The apostle is seeking to teach the
Colossian Christians that all the rela'
lions and affairs of life should be per
meated by the Christian spirit. The
theme suggests some thoughts upon the
gospel of the sacred and the secular.
The distinction made nowadays be
tween sacred and secular is false
michievous distinction. 1t is working
incalculable harm. We have the pa
thetic, harmful spectacle Of men stand
ing high in church circles and yet who
on the street or in the market do moi
hesitate to employ questionable bust
ness methods. Their practices and per
formances in public life are quite al
variance with their piety in private
life. They act on the principle "Busi'
ness is business, politics is politics, re
ligion Is religion"
When they go to church on Sunday
they say, "let us have no secular things
in the pulpit; we have enough Of these
things down town. There all is strin'
gent. and biting selfishness, and knives
and probes and lancets. Here in churcf
we want repose, sedatives and healing
balm; all is prose down the street; let
us have poetry here. We went to sing
hymns-hear about heaven. In short
we want the pure gospel without any
worldly admixture."
Now the religious man who talks tha
vay has no religion. Religion is tc
him mere sentiment. If it is OF no use
to him in the store, in the office, IN pol
itics if is of no use to him in the
house of God.
The lamented DIR. Babcock of the
Brick Church once said: The mar
who has q business into which he has
NOT carried his religion has a business
of no character, and the man who has
q religion from which he has elm
mated business has a religion OF nc
value"
What do we mean by the sacred anc
the secular? BY the sacred we NEAR
usually all that which is ASSOCIATED
with worship and the exercise OF tne
religion feelings, while the secular II

Granting the distinction for mo

civilization it is invariably the sacred

Improving Live stock.

Improvement by selection has made
the live stock of this country more val
liable It was once supposed that a
three-minute gait in trotting was very
fast, and the four-mile running horses
barely accomplished the distance in
eight minutes. A 60-pound sheep was
large, and the razor-back hog was on
every farm. To-day we have trotting
horses that have gotten close to mile

ventilation through the henhouse with
out opening the doors SO that the fowls
may get out. An arrangement which
makes this possible is shown in the
cut, consisting of an opening in the
upper half Of the door, inside Of which
a screen is placed. This allows ven

netting may be used in the opening,

Essential of n Si1O.

The proper construction of the silo
is of the greatest Importance. If the
sides of the silo are not alright, too
much air is admitted and the silage
will spoil. If the walls are not per-
fectly rigid the presence Of the silage
will cause them to spring out, thus al
lowing air to enter between the silage
and the wall, and, again, the result is
decayed silage.
Before building a silo the most care
full attention should be given to loca-
ton, size, form and method of CON
struction. These will differ somewhat
according to locality and individual
needs.-Farming
