cubic yards of sand, one and one-half
cords of stone, one bale of barbed
wire for reinforcing the walls, were
used in the structure. Eleven hundred
feet of lumber, seven-eighths by 4
inches by is feet; four hoops of half
round iron, with Jugs, and thirty
pounds of nails, were required for the

were expended upon the construction;
although, through the experience
gained in building this one, another
could be built with much less labor

and Jugs referred to in the list of ma
terials above. Two strands Of barbed
wire were built into the concrete for
every eighteen inches of height, in
the lower part of the wall and less
frequently above, as the danger from
pressure against the walls decreased.
One part of Portland cement and
seven parts of gravel and sand con-
stituted the concrete. A roof has
never been put on the silo, but when
filed piece of wire netting is placed
on top, and above this is piled several
feet of ensilage, which, in a short
time, settles within the walls. Little
freezing is reported next to the wall

are indeed fortunate
However there are few farmers that
have silOs, and very few who are in
position to build them. To these we
would commend for consideration a
practice that, in some localities, is in
quite general use We refer to the
method of stacking green corn in such
a way that it produces a good silage.
Last winter, the writer, in company
with others, had the privilege of Wis
iting and investigating the use of sew
eral silage stacks near Mcintosh,
MINI. We found the farmers we'll sat
isied with the method, and much in
favor of it, when compared to the
stacking of the cured fodder, or the
worse method of permitting it to re-
main in the field until needed.
The corn is grown and harvested in
the same manner as for the silo.
Care should be taken to have it we'll
bound in medium sized bundles, and
not to permit it to lie in the field

ty-fOur hours. Rain or dew on the
bundles will do no harm; and if they
should become at all dry, they should
be wet with water in the stack.
The stack should be located near
the place where it is to be used, to
simplify handling the silage as much
as possible. The real success of the
method depends great deal upon how
the stack is built. Those Investigated

at convenient places locate, in a YER
tical position, three or four poles to
serve as guides in getting the stack
perfectly straight up and down.
After the stack is of the desired
height, it is covered to a depth of six
to eight inches with some freshly-cut
grass and then weighted.
In weighing the stack, a few poles
are laid parallel across the top, and
then more poles and boards laid
across them. Upon the top of this
there are added a few tons of rock,
old iron, stumps, or in fact anything
that will give good weight.
There is patented a device for pro-
dUcing the pressure by means of tim
bers, ropes and pulIeys, but it is not
in very general use, as it needs to be
frightened up frequently the first few
weeks.
The outside of the stack will spoil,
more or less, to a depth of twelve to
fifteen inches; but, as the stack is
taken down, this is cut away with an
ak or hay-knife, and thrown out for
the stock to pick over There is very
little freezing on the the top, but the
hay covering is usually kept on top
and rolled back as the top is taken
down.
The silage produced does not have
quite as good color as siIage from a
silo, but in quality it is apparently
as good Being an uncut silage, it is
not handled as easily, and there are
some of the coarser butts that are not
eaten.

The great demand for forage with
which to feed stock the coming win
ter is going to be a serious problem
to many of our farmers, and especial
ly to those keeping COWS for dairy
purposes.
1t will be good policy for all our
farmers to save all the available
roughage produced upon the farm,
and to save it in as good a manner as
possible.
The acreage that has lately been
planted to corn for fodder, under IA
vorable conditions, will do much to
relieve the situation. AS a further re-
lief, it should be saved in a desirable
manner.

herd, it is important that something
tors. Individuality alone is not
enough to guide person in making
the selection, but we should also
know how much butter-fat his dam
produced in one year. The only prac
tical way to determine such a butter
fat test is to base it on a full year
test instead of a test for few days
or even a month. Too much dairy
stock is being sold today for fancy
price, simply because some COW has
a big record for a short period. The
question is often asked, (Which is
the best dairy breed?" or (which is
the best beef breed?" This cannot be
answered by naming one particular
breed, as all breeds have good quail
ties, and it also depends much upon
the choice Of the individual breeder.
Do not buy a sire to head the herd
merely because he is a pure-bred AM,
NAL but be sure that he possesses
individual merit and also has ances-
tors with a good record. There has
been such a big demand for pure-bred
dairy bulls during the past few years,
that breeders have been selling all
kinds of inferior animals for breed
ing stock Such practice, of selling
so many inferior animals, merely be-
cause they are pure bred, can only
result in injury to the dairy business,
instead of making the improvement
that should take place, if more dis
cretion were used in selecting pure
bred stock. 1t is much better for
few farmers to join together and buy
a good bull, to which to breed their
COWS, instead of each trying to buy a
bull, and thereby securing cheaper
and poorer individuals.

The City of the Future.

& The Richmond Education Association has done
another public service in arranging with Pro-
fessor Charles Zueblin for lecture on city i'm
proyement The lecture will be given in the
auditorium of the John Marshall High School
Tuesday evening, the subject being THE City
Of the Future and the public are invited to
hear it,
Professor Zueblin was educated at the Uni
rersity of Pennsylvania. the Northwestern Uni
versity Yale University and the University OF
Lcipsic- and for several years was professor Of
sociology in the University of Chicago. He be-
came deeply interested in the subject of civic
development and finally decided to devote his
whole time to that work He set out TO deliver
series of lectures on the topic indicated and
he has the honor of having inspired civic re-
yiyals in a number of American cities. HIS
lectures are practical in their application and
such to appeal to practical men.
The time is opportune for Professor Zueblin 8
lecture in Richmond. The city is just beginning
d new career She has greatly enlarged her
TERRITORY her growth is unprecedented in Nlr-
Kinia and without boastlng, she Is easily the most
sconspieuous city in the South to-day. But If
she would make the most Of her fame and repu-
tation. her growth must be uniform in all direc-
ticns. She must grow in grace, so to speak, as
well as in material way. She must have cnl-
tsre as well as expansion. She must have all
che refinements and accomplishments of modern
city life Not TO say that Richmond does not
already possess her share of them But there is
no limit to progress Where progress ceases, re-
treat begins There must be no retreat for
Richmond.
1t is stated that Professor Zutblin s address
will be made the starter for a civic revival in
Richmond next year, sp<h revival as Louis
vile, Cambridge and Other cities have had to
their benefit. It is"6specially desired that mem
bers of the city Council and of the various com
nercial, charitable and civic improvement or
CARNATIONS shall attend the rally at the High
