When Newburgh's beloved Unitar-
! ian preacher, Alexander Green, died
six years ago and young Alison H.
Robinson, just out of a divinity
school, was called to fill the pulpit;
! evinced any great interest in creeds
and churches, suddenly became a reg
ular worshiper at the Unitarian
church in Newburgh. Every Sunday
with her daughter she drove seven
miles from her mountain estate to
hear Mr.. Robinson preach. Shortly
Mr.. Robinson was invited to dine at
"Traumerei," the Gazzam home, fol-
lowed by more and more frequent
visits by the young dominic.
It is popularity believed that Mrs.
GaZzam on her deathbed Joined the
hands of her daughter and the
preacher and exacted from him
promise to care for her only child,
his especial duty to protect her from
kidnapping by her father, a former
state senator Of Pennsylvania, whom
Mrs. Gazzam divorced in 1902. She
had become convinced he was not
fortune hunter.
1t Is known she was very fond OF
him. In any event, the engagement
was announced two years ago and
Newburgh and Cornwall Joined in
congratulating themselves that the
future Of the young mistress of Storm
King mountains magnificent show
place promised to develop along very
different lines than had her eccen-
trio mothers.
The two communities were accord
ingly shocked when, a little more
than year later-last Christmas, to
be exact-it was announced the en-
gagement had been broken. Miss
Gazzam admitted that she had not
taken the initiative in the severing of
her relations with her finance. Mr..
Robinson would not deny that he
had found it impossible to put up
longer with the girls eccentric theor-
les on. the legitimacy of marriage
without ceremony.
Almost Immediately word came
from Traumerei that Miss Gazzam
had gone abroad. Mr.. Robinson re-
signed his passionate abruptly and
went to Newton Center, Mass, where
he is now preaching.

Newburgh, N. y, Oct. 6.-Here Is
the first detailed story of the career
of Miss Antoinette Elizabeth Gazzam,
"the beautiful $4,000, 900 heiress" of
Storm King mountain The sources
from which the information was
gained are all authoritative and a
half dozen tellers of the tale corrob-
Grated each other in every essential
fact.
The beginning of the story dates
back thirteen years, when Miss Gaz-
zam, then a child of ten,, accompanied
her mother to summer resort IN
the White mountains where the eld-
erly Mrs. Gazzam lived for three
months in the constant companion
ship of R. Charlton Reading, a mar
ried man with two grown daughters
and a fifth cousin of his lavish nos
tess, who paid him $4,000 a year sal
airy for looking out for her business
affairs" and made him costly presents
of jewelry. Readings wife subse-
uuently collected $4,000 damages for
the alternating of her husbands al
fections by Mrs. Gazzam.
From that time on the young
daughter was put under almost con-
vent-like restraint. In the $20O,0O0
marble palace Mrs. Gazzam had built
on Storm King mountain, behind
Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, Antoinette
lived an even dozen years with one
companion, a middle-aged Scotch
woman. All she knew of the outside
world was what this hard-hearted
cynical companion, who had earlier
been her nurse, told her.
From her mother the growing child
learned two things which were to
bear fruit on the occasion Of her first
plunge into the real world.
First, she became obsessed with the
idea that the world is prey of for
tune-hunters, and, second, that a
husbands life is not property right
to which wife can lay claim.
This latter theory was urged by
Mrs Gazzam in the alienation suit
and on the stand she expiated at
length in the legitimacy of afhnities
Joining themselves together irres-
pective of every moral, social and
legal obligation. The daughter &C.
cepted this belief

Suggestions on Silo Construction

diameter the less will be the pos
sibility of decay penetrating entirely
through the mass If anything should
cause the admission of too much air
through the walls of the structure.
The size of the silo should of course
be adjusted according to the amount OF
stock that is to be fed. Where only
a small amount of stock is to be car
ried through the silage feeding sea-
son a structure twenty-five feet deep
and eighteen or twenty feet in diam
eter would be a nice size to build.
The walls of the silo should be
smooth, so that the silage will settle
evenly on all sides. If the walls are
rough, so a part of the silage will not
move easily down the walls when the
mass is settling, the silage will not
pack evenly. The parts next to the
wall will be held against the obstruc-
ton so air will be easily admitted to
the outside particles, and a great deal
of them will spoil.
If the structure is built of slaves set
vertically, there is much less danger of
obstruction than with any other kind
of silo. When the structure is square
or octagonal, and lined with horizontal
boards, there is great danger that the
edges of the boards will hinder proper
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-07-01

AS a result of wide experience and
experimentation the Maryland Station
gives the following conclusions on this
subject:
It is highly important to build
thoroughly good silo. That is a silo
which will keep the silage in good
condition and reduce the loss of feed
to a minimum Each ton of silage
which spells represents the interest
on about twenty dollars, consequently
it requires but little calculation to
determine that it will pay to spend
enough to make a silo that will keep
the silage. In constructing one
hundred-ton silo do not build cheap
and imperfect structure, but spend
500 to $3.50 more and construct
silo that will keep the silage, rather
than one that will allow 10 to 20 tons
of silage to spoil each year.
The following points should be OBJ
served as closely as possible:
1. Make the bottom and sides of
the silo air tight. Much silage spoils
because of air getting in at the bot
tom or sides or around the doors.
The silo should be either tight all the
time or in such a condition that the
damp silage will cause it to swell
tight in a few hours after filling.

SILO SETTINGS.

The following are a few siftings
from a bulletin
1. Location should be outside of all
buildings.
2. The fundamental principle in the
preservation of green forage when
placed in a silo is the exclusion of air
g. To prevent the air from reaching
the silage, all silos must have alright
walls.
4. A vertical, smooth wall is the
only satisfactory wall to use.
5. Best results are got by distribut-
ing the silage uniformly throughout
the silo and packing it carefully near
the walls and doors.
6. Prevent freezing of silage as far
as possible.
7. A double wall concrete silo is
most nearly frost proof.
8. 1t is dangerous to feed frozen
silage.
9. The depth of the silo ought not
to be less than 80 feet.
10. Two inches should be fed from
the surface each day.
II. The pressure of silage is about
II pounds per square foot for each
foot of depth.
~. Stave silos should be anchored
to prevent blowing.
13. The building of a square silo
can seldom, if ever, be profitable or
desirable.
IA. The stave silo is a thoroughly
established success.
Is. The life of a stave silo varies
from 5 to % years.
16. Concrete is one of the best
building materials from which to con-
struct permanent silos.
Old hens make the best mothers,
but the pullets are the better layers.

settling of the mass These boards
should be dressed to an equal thick
ness, so that one will not be thicker
than the one above.
Where the structure is made of
stone, as a number of silos are in the
northern states, the interior should be
covered with cement and made per-
fectly smooth. Silos made of concrete
or cement blocks furnish an ideal
interior, because of the little resist
ance the walls offer to the settling of
the mass.
The structure should have no cor
ners. Since it is true that the greater
part of the spoiled silage occurs on
the top, near the openings, against the
walls, and in the corners, it is i'm
portant that there be no corners. The
material in the corners is exposed to
the possibilities of air entering on
two sides SO that much decays. If it
is necessary to build square silo
false walls should be put in by board
ing up the corners, making the interior
octagonal.
Above all, the structure should be
such that but little air gets into the
silage. If made of boards and slaves
these should be joined tightly together
to hinder the admission of too much
air. In this respect the cement silo is
preferable to the wooden structure:
however when properly constructed,
| think that the wooden structure is
better than any other. The best silo
for the average farmer and dairyman
is the round silo, whether it be cement
or lumber.
In constructing the round silo, as in
building any other kind, the interior
should extend a few feet below the sur
face of the ground.
The foundation should be made of
some kind of durable material like
brick or stone and should extend few
feet above the surface of the ground.
While it is not absolutely necessary, it
is better to have the interior of the
wall of the foundation as nearly
smooth as possible. When made of
either brick or stone it should be COW
cred with cement.
The sill pieces should be in sections
not over two feet long and bedded in
cement. On these the structure above
the ground should be built.
In stave silo the slaves should be
OF substantial material two inches
thick and four or six inches wide.
They should be dressed on one side,
the side that forms the interior of the
walls. Hoops for the silo may be of
three-fourths inch round rods, and to
facilitate tightening it is well to have
the hoops in two or three sections.
Woven wire, however, may take the
place OF hoops. A narrow width of
most any standard pattern should be
cut so as to give the necessary length
to go around the silo, and each end
should be well secured and fastened to
a 2x4 piece as long as the fencing is
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-07-01

wide. Holes should be bored through
each of these pieces so half inch
bolt can be run from one to the other
This hoop should be placed on the silo
so the two pieces are as far apart as
the bolt will allow them to be. BY
Tightening the bolts the slaves are
drawn together as they would be IL
the hoops were iron.
There is much that could be said,
but a little observation of other silos
will be of great benefit to the beginner
r. B. Rushing.

2. The silo must be relatively deep.
Depth is essential in order that the
sliced fodder will pack we'll and de-
velop considerable pressure and thus
exclude the air as completely as pos
sible A silo should be two or three
times as deep as the diameter.
8. The silo should have smooth
perpendicular walls so as to facilitate
the packing and even settling of the
sliced fodder.
A. Have as few corners as possible
so as to facilitate thorough packing
Corners are difficult to pack and are
generally the place where most loss
occurs.
5. The floor should be firm,
give good drainage. They may be
made of stiff clay OF concrete.
6. The foundation should be SUBJ
stantial, strong, and extended below
frost line, and when a wood super.
structure is used the foundation
should be at least Is to "a inches
above the surface of ground, so as to
keep dampness and decay from ends
of the boards or stills. The stills, or
with stave silos the ends of the
slaves, should be treated with some
preservative and bedded in tar and
cement so as to exclude the air. The
foundation of silo should be even
more carefully constructed than that
of house.
Z. A roof is not absolutely essential
on a silo, but all things considered
will generally be found desirable.
There should be some ventilation pro-
vided in the roof, so as to allow the
escape of dampness and gases which
develop in the fermentation of the
Stage.
s. There are a great many styles
of door, all of which may possess
some special advantages over Others
Most persons favor some kind of con-
tinuous door from top to bottom rath-
er than the style with doors at inter-
walls. In all cases the door should
be made so as to be tight and not
admit air. This is weak point with
many silos and much silage spoils on
account of leaks around the door.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-07-01

There are at least four essentials to
consider when contemplating the con-
struction of a silo.
First, the structure should be deep.
Practical users have found that best
results are shown when the structure
is twenty-four or more feet deep. The
greater the depth the more will be the
pressure and the better the material
will be preserved. If the pressure Is
slight, air will be allowed to remain
between the particles, and air causes
fermentation.
The silo should also be reasonably
wide. None should be less than fifteen
feet in diameter, while l think 1t is
better to have them twenty feet in
diameter. The larger they are In
