wooden silos are generally built.
Where stone or brick can be obtained
readily these materials will have the
preference. Concrete silos are the most
durable and all things considered may
be the cheapest in the end If cement
and gravel or cobble stones are near at
hand.
Round silos give the greatest ca
pacity for the wall space and In the
case of wood construction, lighter ma
terial can be used. In the Northern
States and Canada the possibility Of
freezing must be taken into considera-
tion. The sheltered side Of the barn
win afford some protection.
There should be q substantial ma
sonry foundation for all forms of wood
silos to bring the woodwork every
where at least IL inches above the
earth. The bottom of the silo may be
3 feet or more below the feeding floor
of the stable so that 4 to 6 feet Of
stone, brick or concrete wall may be
counted on. For silo 30 feet deep a
foundation wall of stone should be IS
inches to feet thick.
lamp the ground forming the bot
tom Of the silo, so that it will be solid
and then cover with two or three
inches Of good concrete. This is ad-
yisable because clay soil will spoil the
silage IL permitted to rest on 1t. In
case the wood portion of the silo rises
"a or more feet above the stone work
and the diameter Is more than 1S feet,
1t will be best to stay the top OF the
wall In some way. If the woodwork
rises from the outer edge of the wall
then building the wall up with cemenr
so as to cover the sill will give the
needed strength, because the woodwork
will act as hoop; but If the sIlo
stands at the inner face Of the wall
1t will be best to lay pieces of iron
rod in the wall near the top to act as
a hoop.
The studding Of the atwood round
silo need not be larger than 2 inches by
4 inches, unless the diameter is to ex-
ceed 30 feet, but they should be set as
close together as one foot from center
to center. This number Of studs is not
required for strength, but they are
needed in order to bring the two layers
Of lining very close together, SO as to

scale, but in number of localities this
pest affords serious difficulties Wher-

tested the difficulty of eradicating the
San Jose scale is Increased.
A number of experiments were tried
by the Maryland Station with differ
ent insecticides in combating the pest.
Lime and sulphur mixtures were used
containing from 20 to 30 pounds Of
lime and from Ii to 25 pounds of sui
phur per 80 gallons of water. The
lime-sulphur-salt mixture, tested by
the authors, was made according to the
formula 20-15-10-50. Lime-sulphur-
eaustic soda preparations were also
employed, as we'll as a mixture con-
tanning Is pounds of sulphur and 10
pounds of caustic soda per 80 gallons
Of water.
In most cases the weaker llme-sul-
phur preparations were about as ef-
fective as the stronger, but in few
instances an increased effectiveness
was noticed where 35 pounds of lime
and 80 pounds of sulphur were used
per 80 gallons of water. Perfectly sat
isfactory results were obtained from
the use of lime sulphur-salt. and lime
sulphur-eaustic soda also proved fair
ly effective. The sulphur-caustic-soda
mixture was not so satisfactory. Kero-
sene limoid did not prove to be good
substitute for lime-sulphur. Certain
proprietary remedies were tested and

the various insecticides which were
used.

OF all the eni4ue pursuits followed
by women, none perhaps is more out of
line with feminine instincts than sell
ing brick and building material. Yet
Mrs. Nellie Snyder-Smith, of Dallas,
Tex, has built up business which
now runs over 100000 a year. And
she started eight years ago with four
bricks. The four bricks were samples
which her husband had used in the
business his widow took up upon his
death. Last year she sold 100000
common brick and 100000 face brick,
not to mention other building material.
She not only sells more brick than a
whole lot of men, but has been told
that she disposes Of more than all the
other women in the world put together.
Mrs. Nellie snyder-smith Is a con-
tributor of note to magazines, and
about the last topic she would write Of
is her business. Moreover, she Is a
composer of music. Her holiday re-
treat is her fine, big stock farm, forty
miles from Dallas, one Of the best In
north Texas.

Taking Up Carpets.

Taking UP carpets Is one of the most
disagreeable of housecleaning tasks,
usually, for the simple reason that the
majority of persons do not properly
perform the work.
To prevent the usual cloud Of dust
when removing a carpet, first loosen
the tacks, picking them all up as
drawn, which will prevent accidents
and take only few minutes of time.
Do not move the edge of the carpet
until all the tacks have been removed !;
then begin at one side and roll the car
pet carefully to the other side Of the
room.
Two or three persons can roll 1t bet
ter than one alone. Lift is carefully at
both ends and the middle at the same
time, and carry 1t out of doors and
away from the house to be cleaned.
Begin at one side of the room again
and roll the papers with the dust on
them, taking only few at time, and
being very careful not to disturb the
dust
Carry the rolls out as they are made
and pile them on the ground where
they can be burned.
When the papers have all been re-
moved there will be no dust on the
floor or In the air, and mopping of
the floor with a clean mop and good
suds will make it fresh
If there was no paper under the car
pet the tacks and carpet should be re-
moved In the same manner and lot of
bits Of newspaper well dampened
should be scattered over the dusty
floor. Stir the paper gently about with
the broom so as to gather the dust !;
then take it up in little piles on the
dustpan.
Scatter another lot of the dampened
paper and sweep 1t gently together,
then mop the floor with good suds.
