out reinforcement have been failures
because of this pressure from the in
side.
A mistake sometimes made Is in
building the silo of too large a diam
eter for the size of the herd, so that
silage spoils by too long exposure of
the surface. In one case a man with
a small herd built a silo in his barn
eighteen feet square and sixteen feet
high. After two years trial he gave
up the use of the silo in disgust be,
cause his silage did not keep. A year
or two later he sold his farm to
more progressive man, who built par
titions across the same silo, making
four small silos out of the large one,
and had no difficulty in obtaining good
silage for stock.
The silos should be deep. The
deeper the silo the better the siIage.
The diameter should conform to the
size Of the herd, and If two inches of
silage are fed each day there will be
no loss from surface exposure.

Pasture For Calves.

The wisdom Of having a nice pasture
for calves will be readily apparent to
all keepers OF live stock. They cannot
thrive on short or soiled pastures. 9th
er animals that are older can fight
their battles on these. Calves cannot
do so. They cannot hold their own In
pastures with older animals. The lat
ter win monopollze the pastures. They
win take all the choice portions. The
former need these. 1t is better, there
fore-in fact, it is ecessary-that the
csiV9s shall have a separate pasture.

Three Valuable Remedies,
There are three remedies every farm
or should have on hand for treating
sick calves, says a New York breeder.
One is the formalln treatment Tor
white scours, one-half ounce OF 40 per
cent formalin In fifteen and a halI
ounces of pure water. Use one tea
spoonful to every pint of milk fed.
White scours are easily recognized both
nv the whitish color of the voiding ana
nv the odor. Another remedy Is the
two-hundredth dilution Of sulphur for
regular looseness of the bowels. This
is homeopathic remedy. Give from
three to five tablets three times daily
TO Young calves under two weeks and
more to older ones.
The other remedy is cantharis for
bladder trouble. If you find your calf
wet on belly or inside hind legs OF eyes
running profusely, with bowels loose,
five drops 3x homeopathic tincture CIV
on three times daily will soon cure.

Rootino Pics,

Pigs are more apt to be "rooters" In
spring. when the ground is soft, than
they are at any other time of the year.
Much of this can be prevented by feed
ing regularly with coal, charcoal, ashes
or other mineral matter. Ringing the
hogs should be resorted to in extreme
cases.

Never to BE Recovered.
At what figure can we estimate the
diamonds that get lost? One can only
reply approximately. Although 1t may
seem enormous, 1t appears that one
can place at 10 per cent the diamonds
that no longer belong to anybody. First

But one win say, we are still far
from the Is per cent given as the &C
tual loss OF diamonds. There are, after
all not such great number that get
lost and are never found again. That
Is true, but It Is necessary to take into
account numerous other sources of loss,
SUCH as those occurring In fires, ship
wrecks, etc. Again, there are persons
who express in their wills the formal
desire to be decorated with their Jew

some countries.
All these causes explain easily how
nearly a sixth Of the diamonds can
completely disappear.

In 1900 when the frontage Of the

disappeared, among them being that of
the famous Restaurant CheFet It was
not properly speaking a restaurant
Chevet used to sell liqueurs, groceries,
smoked meats, ETC., and in a couple of
low ceilinged rooms on the first floor
he would serve a meal or two to con-
nOisseurs. One day in 1865 or 1866
two young men Of fashion, Russians
both Of them, came In and called for
dinner In one of the little rooms which
were above the shop. They asked for
caviare, but when they got 1t they pro-

inferior quality and called for the own

and was met With the remark, tender
cd laughingly by one Of the diners,
that next time they came they would
bring their own caviare. They came
again and brought 1t In a little white
wooden barrel, and when they left they
had 1t put on one side for them. From
time to time the two young Russians
came and dlned chez Chevet, dined In
