Some women nave fancy for plain
sheer ruffiing. and they like it better
than lace or embroidery for trimming
underwear. For such there are dainty
frillings. which come In all widths,
some of which are hemstitched, while
all are supplied with a drawing string
by which to gather them.
These are easily applied to the edge
OF hens. as there are no raw edges to
be disposed of.
The trimming is quaint and reminds
one OF her grandmother's linens piled

it to the rider, who remounted and

Comfort for the Babv.

The careful mother. who always
wishes her baby to be dainty and
clean, will be delighted to hear that
very inexpensive and comfortable
coach and crib covers may be made
of cotton batting sewed between two
thicknesses of ordinary white cheese
cloth and quilted by machine stitching.
This forms the foundation. The outer
cover may be of two thicknesses Of
pique or bunting made just like bag,
with both sides and one end sewed
up. The comforter is then slipped in
to the outer cover. and to hold 1t in
place bow of ribbon may be fastened
at each corner " little safety pins.
This is all the finishing the comfort
er requires. and 1t is SO easy to re-

1t is the purpose of any silo regardless
OF its construction to exclude air as

this way prevent decay. To prevent
the air from reaching the silage all
silos must have air tight walls. These
must be rigid enough not to be sprung
out of shape by the pressure of the
silage. permitting air to enter next to
the wall. Not only the walls but the
doors also, must be perfectly air tight

TWO GPEEH MOUNTAIN s STHVR SiLOS AT IHE DAIRY

The silo may be made an ornament
to any group of farm buildings. Its form
is such that II may be made to add to
the appearance of any style OF CON
struction. One or more conical silo
roofs when viewed from a distance
or the full height OF the curved walls

ing effect when placed in a setting of
rectangular buildings. This impress
sion is entirely Independent of the
great value of silage as feed and

to far greater extent than the origi
nal cost of the silo.

OF the silos reported by their own
ers or visited. 1876 were located out

located inside of building were large
ly of type not well adapted to be
placed outside. These reports indi-
cate that a location OF the sllo outside
of all buildings meets with greater
favor among those using silos. There
are good reasons for this. First, the
silo. with the exception of few types,
is of such a construction that 1t does
not need the protection OF covered

to place a silo in building where II
will occupy space which may be put

smooth on the inside to permit tho
silnge Ito settle without forming air
pockets. which cause certain amount
of the adjoining silage to rot. Several
foundation walls were found con-
structed as shown at the left of Fig.
2. and in each case considerable
amount of spoiled silage was found at
the shoulder made by the wall. The
foundation wall and in fact the walls
of the entire silo, should be as smooth
as possible. II due care is used In
tramping the silage during the filling.
doors which extend into the silo are
not a serious objection, though per-
fectly flush doors are certainly an ad-
vantage. A vertical wall is the only
satisfactory wall to use, as wall In
clined outward will support the silage
to a certain extent and prevent It's
settling satisfactorily. thus creating
air pockets. When the wall Is In
clined inward the silage will settle
away from 1t. In the case of con.
crete silos with tapered walls, these
should be vertical on the inside.
Best results are obtained where the
silage is uniformly distributed
throughout the silo and is carefully
packed near the walls and around the
doors by tramping. Care should be
taken that the heavy and light por-
tions 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
tramping was not followed there was
always 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.
1t is desirable to prevent the freez
ing of silage in the silo during cold
weather as far as possible and the

able one, other things being equal. II
is difficult to make a comparison be-
tween the merits OF the various tyres
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 nom
conducting wall in the silo and the
second by preventing the circulation
of air above the silage in the silo.
