TARIFF COLLECTORS

Very few have any definite idea
Of what it costs to collect the Gus
toms revenues Of the country.
The president in his message,
cites afew instances. He says:
There are entirely too many
customs districts and too many
customs collectors. These districts
should be consolidated and the
collectors in charge of them, VINO
draw good salaries should b.
abolished or treated AS mere branch
Offices in accordance with the plan
OF the treasury department, which
will be presented for the consider
alton Of congress. AS an illustra.
ton, the cost Of collecting one
dollar Of revenue at typical small
ports like the port OF York, Maine,
was 5000. At the port Of Indian.

We have just built clay-block silo
and filled 1t, and 1t seems to answer
all the requirements of good silo.
We have been asked to describe this
silo for the Institute Annual, and SUBJ
NIT the following:
We dug hole six feet deep, and
large enough to allow for our founda-
ton wall and leave the silo fourteen
feet In diameter. This was dug out
30 that the silo extends six feet below
ground.
The wall above ground is made Of
hollow brick. Each brick is one foot
long, four inches thick and eight
inches wide, with two air-spaces about
two and one-half inches in diameter
and separated by a wall about three
fourths of an inch thick. The brick
are laid f1atwise; that is, so that they
make an eight-inch wall. This leaves
two air-spaces in the brick, and tho
mortar between the ends of the brick
does not extend clear across the silo,
but is simply filed in at the outer and
inner edges, thus making a single air.
space in the mortar at the end of the
brick. The bricks are straight; that
is, they are not curved to fit the curve
in the silo. Being so short, they leave
the wall comparatively smooth on the
outside. The bricks were laid from
the inside, and any -unevenness was
plastered over with two coats Of rich
cement. The walls are thfrty+wo feet
high, making the entire depth of the
silo thirty-eight feet at the door.
The silo has continuous door,
made of two 2x8's sixteen feet long,
splicing so IS to make the frame two
feet wide and thirty-two feet high. The
2x8's are fastened together by three
quarter-inch bolts. Extending from
one 2xS to the other, these bolts are

two feet apart. The door is closed
with 2x12 planks, sawed two feet long
and laid one on top of the other, from
the bottom up, as the silo is filed.
These planks are held in place by the
weight of the silage.
The walls are reinforced by three
eighth-inch rods laid in the mortar be-
tween every third row Of brick The
rods extend clear around the silo, and
are bolted to the door-frame at each
side of the door. Above the middle,
hve-sixteenth-inoh rods were used in
place Of the larger ones.
The roof is made with eight rafters
eighteen feet long, and covered with
good lumber, tapping cornerwise with
the side ends turned down.
The cost of this silo has been very
moderate will try to give the items
In detail. The cost as here given does
not include my own labor Of hauling
the material, tending the mason nor
digging the hole for the foundation.
