MIND OVER MATTER
Copyright. by short.tory Pub. Coz
By DON MARK LEMON

why don't you 90 to the dentist
and have the tooth attended TOT"
John Fisher held his hand to his
mouth and groaned.
That's just like q mani" exclaimed
John Fishers mother-in-law. Rather
have the toothache than go to the den
list"
Still John Fisher said nothing.
When one has bad case of toothache
even talk isn't cheap.
Pooh! don't make such long face
about It. Besides. q toothache is all
in the mind"
John Fisher glared.
"All In the mind" reafirmed the
lady. calmly and exasperatingly.
John Fisher arose to his feet.
Madam" Re demanded. do you mean
to stand there and tell me that this
raging toothache II all in my mind?"
II do"
"And that II only imagined 1t
didn't hurt. 1t wouldn't hurt?"
Exactly"
This was adding contempt to insult,
and John Fisher said as much.
Now, now, keep your temper,
joint" cautioned the lady. you
know very we'll that II you hadn't
any mind at all you couldn't be con.
scious of having the toothache. 30 II
you will but withdraw your mind from
the Pain, Il will be the same thing.
You will be unconscious of It,"
John Fisher sat down In disgust.
It'll tell you what will do" contin-
ued the resourceful mother-in-law. ''If
you will go with me to the dentist and
have that tooth attended to will
have two Of mine pulled and the
nerves killed in four others. I should
have had them attended to before
this"
John Fisher looked surprised. then
ashamed. Had his mother-in-law the
toothache!
And l won't take gas. either. I'll
depend wholly ON the power Of mind
over matter"
John Fisher reached for his hat.
VERY WE'LL" he said; ITS q bargain. I"

marked the Dentist.
He smiled grimly. Two hours or 80
on the torturous dental chair would
make his motherin-law change her
opinion about pain being all in the
mind.
The lady also smiled, but her smile
was all sweetness and guilelessness.
The dentist lowered the dental chair
to accommodate his patients height,
and. after spreading a nice fresh towel
over John Fishers shoulder, filed his
mouth with a sheet Of rubber to keep
him quiet and began his several acts
of torture.
With q screw-wedge device he pried
John Fishers decayed and aching eye
tooth from against its neighbor,
screwing the wedge tighter. and
tighter; then. with sharp, crooked
pick he busted himself for awhile cut
ting and gouging into the aching
tooth. This done. he sorted over his
drills, calmly proceeded to sharpen
the cruelest-looking one that he could
ind, placed the same in the dental en-.
CINE, put his foot to the power and
began to bore for the nerve.
1t was agony, and John Fishers
body grew cold and hot by turns. and
he began to squirm in his chair and
groan aloud
ut isn't very pleasant, know" re-
marked thu dentist.
With . shiver John Fisher looked
crosswise into the attentive eyes Of
his msthef4nlaw.
Nov, John" said that lady, re
member that pain IL all in the mind.
and II you will only imagine II doesn't
hurt-why. It won't"
"O-o.oh!"
what did say! All In the mind"
"O-o-ooh!"
Remember! all in"
"Oh!"
John Fisher had endured all that
flesh and blood could bear. He
brousht up his hand and with one
5srk tore the wedge from between his
teeth and the rubber from his mouth.
"Mr. rsher!" expostulated the den
list.
why, JohA!" acclaimed the mother
in-law. Didn't zoo hsar me saying

smooth on the inside to permit the
silage to settle without forming air
pockets. which cause certain amount
Of the adjoining silage to rot. Several
foundation walls were found con-
structed a. shown at the left Of Fig.
2, and in each case a 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 - smooth

tramping the silage during the nling.
doors which extend into the silo are
not q serious objection, though per
fectly hush doors are certainly an ad-
vantage. A vertical wall is the only
satisfactory wall to use. as 4 wall In
clined outward will support the silage
to a certain extent and prevent its
settling satisfactorily, thus creating
air pockets. When the wall Ia in
clined inward the silase 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-
lions 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 a certain amount Of spoiled
siiage and that - 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
silo of construction to prevent freez
ing to the largest degree IL the prefer
able one, other things being equal. 1t
II difncult to make a 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 hrst
loss may be reduced by using . nom
conducting wall In the silo and the
second by preventing the circulation
OF air shove the silage in the silo.

the passage way from silo to barft- q
continuation of the feed way In the
barn. In general, 1t seems that there
are few advantages in building silo
inside of a building and many in
building 1t outside. There are types
Of barns. the large round barn. for in
stance, which are Of form making
1t impossible for . silo to be con-
veniently located at the center.
The fundamental principle in the
preservation of green forage when
placed in a silo Is the exclusion Of air.
It ID the purpose Of any silo regardless
Of its construction to exclude air -
far a. possible from the silage and in
this way prevent decay. To prevent
the air from reaching the silage all
siIos 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. mpst be perfectly air tight.
To accomplish this they should be
well fitted and the Joints made more

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 1t and when the pressure
Of the silage comes against the door
an air tight Joint is obtained. Tar
paper Is successfully used by some
silo owners either in strips to cover
the cracks around the doors or in
widths sufficient to cover the entire
door and lap few inches on the silo
walls.
Not only should the walls be tight
and rigid. but they should be perfectly

u,.d Mud reIearaph PeIee.

What q writer calls "the most orr
ginal telegraph line in the world" once
extended between the city Of La Paz,
the capital Of Bolivia, and the town Of
Oruro. In this part Of Bolivia there
are no growing trees and wood is 30
dimcult to procure that even the ordfn-
AIRY household furniture Of the natives
is invariably made. not Of wood. but
Of dried mud. or adobe. as 1t is called.
When the war broke out in 1880 BE-
tween Chile and Bolivia this material
was used to construct pillars to take
the place Of ordinary posts for sup
porting telegraph wire. with the addf-
ton of old bottles A. insulators. These
pillars were subsequently, built on
stone foundations and measured about
flve feet square ut the base. with .
height Of about Is feet. They were
placed at Intervals Of about 361 fest.
and thus held the wire at height suf-
f,cient to clear the only animals OF the
country, the lama and donkey. The
total length Of the line was 1s6 miles
and 1t rendered useful service for
some ten years before being replaced
by 4 wooden tslegraph-pols line.
