slLo MAKES MONEY
Many Advantages to Be Gained
by Their Use.
Saves That Portion of Corn Crop That
Usually Goes to Waste and Con-
verts IL Into Succulent Feed
Sort of Endless Chain.

The use of the silo is of such vast
importance to the farmer in general
and to the dairyman in particular that
/ cannot refrain from giving some ex-
periences in the use of the silos in
the last two seasons, says a writer in
an exchange.
The many advantages to be gained
In their use are: The saving of that
portion of the corn crop that most
usually goes to waste, the fodder part
of the crop; almost every particle that
grows above the ground is converted
into the most succulent food. The
silo is the most convenient place and
way of caring for or disposing of the
crop. BY the use of the silo, this
vas amount of dry matter in the fod-
der is converted into the most perfect
fertilizer to be replaced on the acres
from which it grew. One acre of 40
to so bushels of corn with a fair
growth of fodder will produce from
eight to ten tons of feed and ultimate
ly furnish, with the straw added for
bedding, something like six to ten tons
of the best manure
IT'S about after this fashion: You
grow more corn, to convert into en-
silage, to feed more cattle-milk cow,

DEPTH OF THE ATLANTIC.

1t is now possible to assert that in
but few places has the Atlantic a
depth exceeding 5000 fathoms, or
three and a quarter miles. Its great
est depth is about 100 miles north
of the island of St. Thomas, where
it reaches 1875 fathoms, or about
four miles and a quarter. Except in
the neighborhood of its coast line
and in certain shallower areas, the
floor of the Atlantic basin at its
widest part lies at a depth of from
1000 to 5000 fathoms, the slopes
being extremely gradual. In some
parts, as for instance to the west
ward of ireland, the slope is only
about six feet to the mile We're. the
waters removed, the bottom of the
ocean would appear much more level

Our experience was something like
this: In September of 1909, we built
L sile 16x33 (three feet in the
ground), cut and put into it II acres
of common field corn, filling it full.
We fed some forty head of stock and
milk cattle from September to May.
From May 18th, We borrowed of u
neighbor a load of ensilage every day
until September Is, 1910, feeding 20
head of cows on ensilage and IS acres
OF pasture. In September, 1910, we
erected our second silo-16x35, five
feet in the ground), filled the two
from 80 acres of corn that the hot
winds of July burned off the tops un-
til we would not have gathered over
200 bushels of corn. We fed IA year
lings and 5 coming-two steers, II cows,
1 bull and IA spring and summer
calves until March, 1911, and have
enough ensilage to feed the 25 head
of COWS and winter calves until Sep
TENDER again-all this ensilage made
from 35 acres OF very poor corn, but
awful good fodder.
We kept account of the labor and
all o $ of harvesting the corn, filling
the silo. and all expenses to complet-
ing the job, and the actual cost per
ton is only $1.20. Who can say that
it costs too much for such excellent

EARLY OBSERVATION OF RAIN.

The rain gauge made in 1859 by
Benedetto C~astelli, Galileo's contem-
porary, has been regarded as the
first, but evidence of earlier instru-
ments has been found by DR.. Y.
Wada, of the Corean Meteorological
observatory at Chemulpo.
From Corean records, it seems
that rain gauges were regularly used
as early as 1442. They were bronze
vases Is inches deep and seven
inches in diameter, mounted on pill
lars, and King Sejo ordered them
placed at the observatory and sup
piled to the provinces and cantons,
reports Of the observations to be sent
to court.

that the car ordered his eyes to be

idea Of the building was inspired by
the wickedest and maddest monarch
who ever sat on a throne-Ivan the

UNJUST BACK UP TREATIES"
Roosevelt Draws Lesson from
China and Tripoli.

Theodore Roosevelt has an article on
Arbitration: Pretence and Reality" In the
current number OF 1.-The Outlook" 1t says
in part:
Surely the real friends OF peace in this
country ought 10 be able 10 profit by the
events that have happened in China and In
the Mediterranean during these ian
months since the arbitration treaty was
considered In the Senate. During these
months We have seen widespread revolt
in China, with utter INSTRUMENTATION or the
empire, and we have seen war UNEXPECTEDLY
break out between Italy and Turkey. In
China there has doubtless been much eX-
cuse for the revolt because OF tyranny and
noisgoytrnment, and this tyranny and mis-
government have been greater than in any
really civilized nation, although the Chinese
arc far moro unwarlke than any civilized
nation and have an army very nucn less
efficient than that of any civilized power.
The complete absence or militariSm in

bowers have not only caused II TO lose

ers within the last few decades, but have
