A farmer down the river was in
deep trouble the other day and
looking for advice and assistance.
He has a silo,--a large and roomy
one, empty of ensilage just now,
but fully occupied by skunk which
had the unhindered run of the en-
tire interior. How the pole-cat got
in is not known, but he was a secure
prisoner in the cement walls of the
lower part Of the clio. The owner,
neighbors and anybody who hap
pened along formed committee ON
ways and means which is or was in
continuous session. The animal
could be shot, but that wouldn't do,
for good reasons, in that alright
chamber; plank could be run to
the bottom from an opening above
for his escape, but this would let
him loose on the hens and chickens
and that motion was also killed.
At last reports the committee was
still celebrating and the skunk con-
tinued to command the silo.
