them, thus making a large band. The
2x4s should be set vertical and about
16 inches apart. To the inside sheet
ing nail beveled lath. These are nail
ed horizontally the same as the half
inch sheeting, thus making a double
band.
The accompanying illustration shows
end of a cross section of half-inch
strip nailed to the 2x4's and the dove
tailed lath. The laths are covered with
cement to the extent of one-half inch.
This makes a cement lined silo and
protects the wood from Silage. The
outside of the 2x4's may be covered
by half-inch lumber and painted. This
will make very strong and durable
silo, and when the cement shows
wear, caused by the effect of the acid,
it is very easy, when the silo is being
filled, to wash it with cement. The
hemlock could be sawed, and used for
making this style of silo.
A silo 16 feet in diameter and 35
feet high will furnish silage for 80
animals $50 days.

To Cure Hard Mixers.

This is due to an unnatural condi-
ton of the sphincter muscles at the
end of the teat and often what might
be a valuable cow on this account 10
one that everybody wishes to avoid.
The proper method of overcoming
hard milking is to wash the teats off
with an antiseptic solution, dip a teat
plug into healing ointment and insert
same into the point of the teat, per-
hitting teat plugs to remain in the
teats from one milking to another.
A few treatments of this kind will
overcome hard milking in any cow,
without danger of injecting the teats
or udder, but even this treatment
should be handled with cleanliness.

Increased price of Elk Teeth.

During the last five years the value
of elk teeth has more than trebled."
said a western traveller at the Fred
eric, according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. I'm 1904 you could get any num-
Der of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana. Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from regular dealer cheaper now
than from the indian. The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident of
an Oklahoman who bought robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 500. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT A SIL0
Several Kinds of Material Can Be
Used in Building Feed Tank
Cement Is Aid.

There are several kinds of material
which can be used in making a silo.
namely, wood, cement and stone. The
istave silo is very good and gives splen-
did satisfaction. The cement silo is
of newer origin, but is coming into
use and those that have them are well
pleased with the results. The Cur
Ter silo is combination of cement and
wood which we think would make a
very good silo, says Hoard's Dairy
man. While a satisfactory silo can
be made as described by using sew
eral thicknesses of lumber and pa
per, yet we believe it is better as a
rule, to saw the lumber into strips
and make a stave silo of them, using
iron hoops to bind them together.
The Gurler silo is made by standing
2x4's on circular foundation and nail
ing half-inch lumber on the inside Of

Dairyinu on Poor Land.

Dairying can be practiced on poor

make the ground rich through keep

Poor land cannot be expected to keep
as many COWS per acre as rich land,
but in time the poor farm can be
made rich if ali the manure of the
dairy is properly saved and judicious-
" applied to the land. The more feed
purchased and fed the richer the farm

Keen Cows to Hiqh Standard.

Keep the cows up to their highest
standard of milk production. 1t pays
to buy bran, oil meal and like nitro
genous concentrated feeds. There Is
a double profit in such feeds-profit
from the milk and cream and great
profit from the manure. 1t is much
better to pay $25 or $50 ton for bran
or oil meal and feed it to the cows,
saving and using all the manure, than
to pay the same price for straight
commercial fertilizers. Fertilize the
land through the COWS on concen-
trated feeds, thus killing two birds
with one stone.

French Taxes.

while there were 94,123 billiard tables
in France in 1892, in 1906 there were
only S9,230, whereas if the game were
holding its own the number should
have increased as the children grew
to billiard playing age. The decadence
of the game, which has had famous
votaries, is ascribed to the success of
outdoor sports, and especially to the
intense and widespread interest now
taken in motoring.-Vogue.

When Cows Are Nervous.

If any of your cows are nervous or
troublesome in any way at milking
time. try feeding them just before you
begin to milk. The giving down of
the milk is governed by the nerves,
and the more the cows mind is taken
from the milking process the less &C.
tion the nerves will have on the milk
secreting glands. Feed will make the
COW more contented, which in turn
will result in larger yields.

FEEDING Silaue.

In feeding silage to dairy cows the
managers should be clean and no sill
age allowed to accumulate. Feed no
musty or moldy silage; feed it only
after milking and keep the cows
stable we'll ventilated for the escape
of moisture and unpleasant odors. If
you have never fed any silage be-
fore, give only very small amount at
first to each animal, and increase the
amount of feed only as you learn the

Care of Cows First,

The dairy farmer who keeps so
many cows that he must neglect
them to take proper care of his crops
has made a wrong division of his
operations. The cows should be
taken care of first, and only as much
land be cropped as can be well cared
for between milkings.

THE SUPREME BENCH.
The Appointments are Not Expected
Before Next Fall.

Beverly, Mass, July 29-Although
the definite statement has been re-
ceiveu from Associate Justice William
H. Moody of the United States su
preme court that he will positively an
nounce his retirement from the bench
some time this fall, President Taft has
decided not to call an extra session of
the Senate to confirm the two supreme
court appointments he will be called
upon to make. In addition to filling the
vacancies caused by the death of
Chief Justice Fuller and the retire
ment of Justice Moody, the President
will have to designate a chief justice
of the court There is every reason to
believe that he will send in as chief
Justice the name of Governor Charles
f. Hughes of New York, who already
has been confirmed as an associate
justice.
Mr. Taft is extremely sensitive on
the subject of courts in general and
the supreme court in particular. He
deplores any act or statement that
could he construed as interfering or
bringing influence to bear upon that
tribunal. In calling an extra session
the President feels he would be put
in the attitude of bringing pressure to
bear upon the court to hurry decls-
ion in the important cases that are to
be argued before it this fall. He
wishes to avoid even this suggestion.
Appointments to the supreme court
and to all other United States courts
will be made in the regular way and
confirmed by regular sessions of the
Senate so long as Mr.. Taft is Pres
ident.
The Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust
cases are not set to be re-heard until
November. The President does not
feel that a delay of three weeks to
await the conveninS of Congress the
first week in December will be serious.
