SIZE OF THE SILO.
It Can Easily Be Figured Out From
the Size of the Herd

In regard to the proper size for a siIo
for ten cows We may safely assume that
fifty pounds of slage per day per COW will
be about the largest amount that we will
ever wish to feed, and this means a total
consumption of five tons per animal during
the 200 days which ordinarily make up the
stabling period on most farms. Then in
addition to this 1t will be well to have some
surplus both for the young stock and also
for the shortage in pastures which comes
some time during the summer every year
round silo thirteen feet in diameter and
tWenty-Six feet deep will hold about sixty
tons. and would be pretty close to the thee.
retical requirements. One additional foot
in diameter will increase the capacity al.
most one-sxth at little additional cost, and
will allow some margin and be a safer size
to adopt. In general way IL Will be
better to build of small diameter and OF
greater depth in order that thicker layer
of silage may be removed each day. This
Is especially important II summer feeding
Is to be practiced, because silage spoils
rapidly in warm weather.
There is very little room for question, but
that the standard form is the round stavo
silo, now almost universally adopted. There
may be localities and conditions where tho
use of reinforced concrete Is advisable. but
in most circumstances, especially where
economy must be observed, the wooden silo
Is still most practical Constantly adVano-
ing lumber prices may alter TINS however.
A silo like the above all in good shape, to-
ing eastern manufacturer would cost about
5000. If the inquirer is fortunate enough TO
have lumber of his own, or be able to buy
II adyantageously, he can have the neces-
sary work done at most good planning mills.
and make a very substantial saving over
these prices. Patent open fronts" and ths
like are expensive, and a homemade slo
with beveled doors cut by good carpenter
and pressed tightly into place by the siiage
is good enough for most of us.
The silo has been nightly developed in
Wisconsin, and l judge that one should bs
able TO purchase there as advantageously
as anywhere especially rs freight charges
are considerable. In regard to the place to
set a silo. bear in mind these two funda-
mental requirements: First, 1t must be con-
venient to the cows because siage is heavy,
with a great deal of water, and We cannot
afford to carry 1t long distances; and
secondly, in locating be sure that II will ba

TREES IN CITIES.

of trees and green spaces in cities. Paris

the only exception. 1t is not only because
the streets wider. but because the trees
and the grass receive intelligent care.
The wonderfully rich grass of the London
parks is hardly attainable in our climate
but we could learn much from the example
OF Paris. There, in most of the CONT

LETTERING CONDITIONS
COMPANY FURNISHES employees
WITH FOOD AT COST.

The mana cement Of q machine COM
pany at Hartford. Conn. has for some
time been struggling with the problem
Of disposing of such employees who chose
TO eat their lunch on the premises in
stead of going to their homes At first
IL was the custom for the men to open
up their lunch whenever the fancy took
them. which was the daily cause of a
great deal OF litter. To overcome this
the company provided a room for the
purpose. but this did not solve the prob
lem. for it seemed impossible to get the
men to give any attention to the care of
the room.
1t was almost determined to forbid the
eating Of lunch in the factory when the
manager asked to be allowed to try the
experiment Of serving an attractive meal
10 the hands at cost. under the auspices
OF the company. The experiment proved
great success not only in the particular
that the men were given a good whole
some meal, but 1t had the effect of en-
rendering a closer relationship and a bet
Ter feeling between the employees and en-
ployers.
The meal is prepared entirely by per-
sons on the payroll. The cook is man
who formerly operated a small cafe He
orders the provisions every morning soon
after arriving at the factory and later
he and his assistant are allowed to leave
tnelr regular work for the purpose Of
getting things ready.
The same lunch is served to all, but
there are different rooms for different
classes of workmen. The office force
eats in one room. while the foremen have
room to themselves and a third room
| Is used by the ordinary workmen. There
| are no walters, and everyone helps him
self and pays for what he gets in checks
] worth 2R cents each, which is the high
| est price charged for any one article The
| olsh-washlng, cleaning up and other
duties OF this character are all performed
| by persons appointed. who receive re-
| Enumeration in some shape either in food
| checks or some privileges
| The lunchroom Is not self-supportinp
| but the firm willingly makes up the small
| deficit because of the many incidental
advantages resulting. The success of this
| scheme was so great that the firm per-
mitted one Of the employees to open ba r.
! Der shop. which is operated during lunch
| hour, and 1t Is now proposed to start a
tobacco store feature. where the men will
| buy their tobacco at cost.

eled closely after the Irrigation law. It
was favorably commented upon, but 1t was
late in the session and no action was Sc
cured
Drainage Policy.
In the second session-last winter-Senator
Flint OF California introduced practically
the same bill In the Senate, and it received
unanimously favorable report from the
public lands committee With the rush OF
business in the short session the bill was
not reached. but Senator Flint made a poll
of tho, Senate and says the bill can be
passed at the next session.
The bill provides for the application to
drainage of the same system that Is now
applied to irrigation. The receipts from all
sales Of government lands in all the public
land states other than those known as re-
clamation Grrigation) states and territories
are to be set aside as a general drainage
fund. Lands reclaimed are to be divided
into tracts Of from 40 to 800 acres. The
cost of the drainage Is all to be paid back
to the government in ten annual Install
ments.
The bill also provides a straight appro-
priation of 100000 as a loan from the
government to the drainage fund. There
may be objection to this section. In any
event there will be at least S1,O00U0O to
start with. the receipts for the current and
preceding years land sales, as provided In
the bill and which run about S50OOOO a year.

CARE OF THE LAWN.
Now It Often, Water It Well, Use a
Good Commercial Fertilizer.

The oftener grass is moved the better it
will withstand dry weather. If it becomes
necessary TO apply water during July or
August do it thoroughly. A little wetting
with the good nothing lawn sprinkler
is worse than none.
Enough water should be applied so that
the ground below the sod becomes thor
oughly soaked, thus attracting the roots
downward. Do not use the lawn mower
when the grass is wet.
Try using a commercial fertilizer on the
lawn at intervals during the summer The
result will surprise you. All fertilizer man
ufacturers make lawn fertilizer that is
much more efficacious than stable manure,
more Clearly and sanitary.
If Old well-rotted manure could be ap-
piled very thick and allowed to remain
some good might be accomplished but the
usual custom is to spread a thin coat
leave it few weeks and then rake it Off
1t might about well not be used at all
The commercial fertilizer Is much better
in every way. BY its use. an old. WORKOUT
lawn may be rejuvenated Any fertilizer
give full information about its cost and
use.
If you have a thin, weedy spot in YOUR
lawn scratch 1t and SOW grass seed very
thick. If at first you don't succeed In get
ting turf, try again. Thick grass will drive
out the weeds in time.

SEASONING TELEPHONE POLES.
Government and the Companies Are
Both Experimenting.

From the American Telephone Journal.
The scarcity of timber suitable for tele-
phone and telegraph poles has of late as
sumed serious proportions
Latest reports of the census office show
that there were in operation In 1902 approx
imately 100000 miles of pole line SuSse-
quent additions, however, togethe with GER
tain railroad pole lines not reported would
enlarge this figure.
1t is safe to assume that there are in oper-
alton at present fully $4,000 miles of line.
The avera ge line contains about forty poles
mile SO that there are approximately
81, 900. coo poles in use.
Assumir that the average life of a pole
Is twelve years, 1t follows that for the MAIN
tenance of the lines now in operation there
are needed each year more than 1850. 900
poles. Such an enormous demand must
soon deplete the available supply. This is
fully recognized by the different companies.
The American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, in cooperation with the United
on elaborate experiments to determine the
best means of prolonging the life of poles.
Their experiments show that seasoned
timber in contact with the ground will out
last unseasoned, and that dry wood is more
receptive of preservative fluids than green
wood.
Experiment stations were established at
Dover. N. j., Thorndale, Pa. Pisgah. NC.
and Wilmington, N. c. AS part of the
terms of cooperation the American TeIe-
phone and Telegraph Company supplied a
fixed number of poles each month.

Homes for Birds.
rom the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
Securing as permanent homes for the
birds islands and remote tracts that are
their favorite haunts is a humane and
perfectly feasible plan of the Audubon
Society that has recently received a cor
dial Endorsement from President Roose-
welt. This project of charging birdland
by purchasing from private citizens
region of the Atlantic. Pacific and of the
gulf and of providing the birds in their
homes with human guardians is one that
may be depended upon to provide every
race among our nations birds with ample
quarters for all time. And it Is only by
such a thorough and wide flung measure
that this desired end may be assured.
The aid of every American citizen is
justly sought that the best success may
attend the efforts of the Audubon Society
in this direction.

No TransmntatIon Yet.

Those whose familiarity with the fundamental principles of chemistry made 1t hard for them to accept the story that copper had been produced artiticially by Sir William Ramsay will experience genuine relief when they learn that he pronounces the report without foundation. As vet the origin of the heliuin which is evolved from ra- dium is in dispute. The experiment which two or three years ago resulted in the deposit of a microscopic quan- tity of substance resembling lead was undertaken with a different ob- ject in view and was interrupted by the breakage of the glass on which the material was observed. So far as transmutation is concerned it was in- tconclusive Furthermore, the elements which rumor credited Sir William with persuading to unite were not metals, hut alkalies. Such a change, therefore, would have been more radical than the transmutation of lead into gold, the feat which the alehemists strove in vain to perform.
 As the distinguished British chemist himself admits, however, the hoax was a clever one. A number of things con spired to give it an air of credibility- his avowed belief in transmutation and his reputation for accuracy in technical work among them, Again, Dr. Rem sen, to whom it was said Sir William had privately reported his achievement, was peculiarly qualified to appreciate any new triumph in chemistry. what more natural than that a hint of a path-b breaking discovery should be i'm parted to the man who many years ago extracted the sweetest substance lnow known from coal tar Finally, the author of the deception was shrewd enough to realize what was due to Sir William's ow-countrymen, for il was announced that a paper contain ling a detailed account of the work would soon be presented to the Roya society.
 Hoaxes, no matter how ingenious ant amusing, are always to be deprecated
 When they are like thls one they are liable to work a double injury. They
