the passage way from silo to barn is
continuation of the feed way in the
barn. In general, it seems that there
are few advantages in building silo

building 1t outside. There are types

It impossible for silo to be con.
veniently located at the center.
The fundamental principle in the
preservation of green forage when
placed in silo is the exclusion of air.
1t Is the purpose Of any silo regardless
OF It's construction to exclude air as
far as possible from the silage and in
this way prevent decay. To prevent
the air from reaching the silage all
salos must have air tight walls. These
must be rigid enough not to be sprung
out OF shape by the pressure of the
alage. permitting air to enter next to
the wall. Not only the walls but the
doors also. must be perfectly air tight
TO accomplish this they should be
we'll fitted and the joints made more
perfect by felt pads or gaskets. 1t is
good practice where the silo door sets
against a shoulder, to place clay
worked into the consistency of putty
In the Joint. The clay is placed on
the bearing surface and the door
placed over It and when the pressure
OF the silage comes against the door
a air tight joint is obtained. Tar

widths sufficient to cover the entire

most perplexing problems confronting
steam railroads is that of procuring

It is considered that the 100 railway

Modern practice has not altered this

not always give entirely satisfactory
results. and the various railway com.

COURT
 TWISTING AT LAW

Boston, November 1.-The constitution
 alty of the expediting act of Congress,
 which permits the Attorney General to
 order the advancement of case brought
 under the so-called Sherman antitrust
 law, to be heard by three judges instead
 of one, was questioned today in the
 United States circuit court, with three
 judges sitting, by counsel for the New
 York New Haven and Hartford railroad
 in opposing such procedure in the trial
 of the now famous merger case. In this
 case the government is attempting 70
 settle the legality of the ownership by
 the New Haven road of no shares of
 stock of the Boston and Maine railroad. Counsel for the New Haven Col. J. H.
 Benton, argued that three judges did not
 constitute a circuit court of the United States as contemplated by the laws of the country He said that to give the Attorney General the power to select certain cases to be heard by three judges was discriminating, and, therefore, un- constitutional, in that it did not permit other parties such privileges.
 In reply, District Attorney French quoted profusely from decisions from the supreme court. notably in the Standard oil, Union Pacific and Tobacco cases, in all of which, he said, the parties were in different parts of the country, and were ordered to appear before a circuit court for a hearing. He contended that the constitution gave Congress the right to designate the method of procedure in the trial of all cases brought in the United States courts, and this question was one of procedure.

LABOR LEADERS
 DINE WITH TEDDY
HIGH OFFICIALS OF GOVERNMENT AND LABOR ORGANIZATIONS GATHER ABOUT THE BoARD-AN EVENT OF LEADING INTEREST.

Washington, November 17.-Members of the cabinet and justices of the supreme court of the United States sat down to- night with labor leaders from various sections of the United States at dinner given by President Roosevelt at the White House to a number of personal friends and men closely identified with the movement to better labor conditions in this country. The occasion was one of the most interesting events that has occurred at the White House in months
 Subjeeting his guests. who were repre- sentatives of many of the leading labor organizations, to a rapid eross-fre of questions, President Roosevelt tonight at dinner given by him at the White House endeavored to find out what labor wants from Congress and in what way he could be of assistance to the toilers of the country.
 It was almost midnight before the gathering broke up.
 As far as could be learned a spirit of harmony and cooperation prevailed
 No set speeches were made, the Presi- dent merely rising and explaining to his guests that he had brought them together for an interchange of views of public questions.
 The general impression prevailed among the labor leaders seen after the dinner that the Presidents message to Congress will show some of the flavor of the con- ference
 The labor leaders talked without reser- Yation and what seemed more significant than all else, both to the President and other government officials. was the sug. gestion that Congress should pass a bill of rights into which all labor legisla- ton should be incorporated and should create a publicity board, whose purpose would be to investigate and make public the details of controversies between cap- ital and labor.
 The Presidents interest in these two propositions was keenly awakened, but as to his attitude upon them he was non-commttal. Although many of the speakers voiced their opposition to the boycott and sympathetic strike propa- ganda they urged that Congress should better, define the injunctive power of the courts, and they asked for a modification of both this law and the Sherman anti trust laws. They also wanted Congress to define the exact status of labor or ganizations in strikes and whether they should be permitted to solicit peacefully.

 After considerable argument both by MT. Ellis and Judge Putnam, Mr. Ellis declared that, in his opinion, the gov ernment, provided a majority decision were rendered in favor of the defendant would have chance to bring the case to the supreme court, upon certification as would have been the case if two judges instead of three had sat in the case Judge Putnam did not express his opin- ion at this point and soon after the hearing closed.
