er. The progress made in the prelim-
mary work has been most satisfac-
tory; indeed, all the preliminaries
have been completed and the actual
work Is soon to begin.
The federal appropriation for the
canal was made conditional upon Sc
curing the right of way, congress
very properly concluding that none
OF the money should go for the pur-
chase of property, knowing from eX-
perience that eXtortionate prices
would be demanded in many cases.
The right of way has been obtained,
not without some difficulty, and re
quiring in at least one case, that of
property belonging to a school board,
the passage of a special act of the
Legislature to deal with the matter.
This part of the program is now
completed. When the work is actual
ly begun and the intercostal canal
opened, if only in part, the good re-
suits accruing from it will be SO
promptly demonstrated that there
Will be little difficulty in obtaining
from congress the additional appro-

Best results are obtained where the
silage Is uniformly distributed
throughout the sllo and Is carefully
packed near the walls and around the
doors by tramping. Care should be
taken that the heavy and light por-
tons shall be uniformly mixed. Some
silo owners are OF the opinion that a
great amount OF tramping is unneces-
sary. but the investigations OF the
writer's would indicate that where
tramplng was not followed there was
always a certain amount OF spoiled
silage and that the money spent for
labor used In thoroughly tramping the
silage in the silo when filled brought
good returns.

is difficult TO make n comparison be
tween the merits OF the various types
OF silos in this respect owing to the
inability to find them under like con.
ditions. Freezing of silage is due to
loss OF heat; first, through the silo
wall: and second. to the air in contact
with the feeding surface. The FIRST
loss may be reduced by using a non
conducting wall In the silo and the
second by preventing the circulation
OF air above the silage In the silo.
