Then and Now.

Prior TO the last Is years. by the
time people had attained their first
quarter OF a century. they considered
themselves pretty much formed as TO
physical and mental characteristics.
II they we're ambitious and energetic
they perhaps carried on some kind
Of exercise for their physical well-De-
ting, and guarded against mental de-
terioration as they advanced in years
by occasionally taking up new studies
or reviewing old ones: as a dear old
lady of my acquaintance at the age OF
eighty-nine began to review her al
zebra to keep her mind active.
Now everything is changed. We
cannot settle down comfortably in the
thought OF anything in the regular
routine OF life which we may not be
called upon to alter at moments
notice. Most of US have found that
few OF our established habits are
right and that unless we are willing
to be left hopelessly behind our 1850
ciates We must learn over again all
that we acquired IN infancy. and that
has since become a matter OF auto
matte action.-The Atlantic

Weird Wordlets

pect to say had went" in fact, we
should be disappointed II they didn't,
but even the fairly well educated man
age tG make some pretty wierd COM
Sinations of words, especially when
they get TO using propositions. To
wit: Mr.. Just Rich came down to
breakfast the other morning. viewed
the prospect, DER, liked II not. then
said elandly to the maid: PUT me on
an egg to boil" Now, II he were
really dead anxious to boil, why in
the name Of all that's good would he
select an egg on which to do It.?
Think of the poise required. The
same result would have been achieved
in a much safer and saner way on the
bleachers.
His next remark was: Bring me In
the milk pitcher" Il he had to be
carried, why select conveyance in
which he would be so cramped? Still
a little later he announced: We're
going to have some friends for din.
ner." Hard on the friends! Canni-
balism is evidently not yet extinct.
Having dispatched the above-men-
toned egg and waxed laxative. he
said: Say. Mary! | had four goldfish
in that aquarium, and now one of
thems died on me-" Poor little thing,
Dying far from homet One wonders
If the place of sculpture were in his

twice its diameter, and is strong
enough TO withstand the natural nres-
sure of its contents when full. This
pressure is greatest from two to six
days after filling. The silage at this
time begins to heat and settle, and. il
the walls are not sufficiently rigid to
prevent any bulging a considerable
loss of silage viii result. The walls
should DE as nearly perpendicular as
possible. and the diameter should be
the same from the bottom to the top.
A mistake sometimes made was in
building the silo of too large a diam.
eter for the size OF the herd so that
the silage spoiled by too long ex.
posture of the surface. In one case a
man with a small herd built silo
in his barn is feet square and l6
feet high. After two years trial he
gave up the use of the silo in disgust
because the silage did not keep.
A year or so later he sold his farm
to more progressive man, who built
partitions across the same silo, max
ing four small silos out OF the large
one, and had no difficulty in obtain.
ing good silage for his stock. The silo
should be deep. The deeper the silo
the better the silage.
The diameter should conform TO the
size of the herd, and II two inches Of
silage are fed each day there will be
no loss from surface exposure
II is desirable to prevent silage
from freezing. The double wall con-
crete silo and those built OF rectangu.
lar building tile accomplish this OBJ.
jeot as well as any. Stone silos pre-
vent freezing. but many owners OF
stone silos do not like them because
moisture collects on the inside Of
the walls and rots silage along the
edge. A roof helps to keep out the
frost, snow and rain.

Some of the failures OF silos have
been due to carelessness in filling.
but more often to faulty construction
Of the silo.
Formerly many silos were made by
sheathing one of the bays in the barn.
With these silos and other forms of
wooden square silos a lining must be
built across the corners and the silage
well tramped down clong the edges
or there win be conc, derable loss of
what would otherwise be valuable
stock feed. This style of silo, how.
ever, has become less common. and
but few square silos of any kind are
built at the present time. Even when
silos are built inside OF a barn they
are often circular. The octagon silo
Is an Improvement over the square
form. but as a rule the walls Of this
form Of silo have not been made
rigid enough.
Too often the walls Of silos are not
made alright Unless the walls OF
wooden silos are made air-tight, with
tar paper, felt pads. or clay worked
into the joints. much silage will be
wasted. Ninety per cent of stave silos
ARE not air-tight at the foundation.
The shrinkage and swelling of slaves
breaks the cement. which must be
frequently mended. Some losses have
occurred because the ends OF the
!staves have been decayed
The iron bands of a stave silo must
be examined frequently, OF they will
fall down as the slaves shrink. Some
times the iron spices rust Unless a
.stave silo is we'll anchored IL may be
moved from les foundations or even
blown down.
The walls OF silo must be rigid
or they cannot stand the pressure
When the sides begin to bulge, air
can get between the silage and the
walls.
Brick silos without reinforcement
have been failures because of the
pressure from the inside.
The modern silo is a structure with
air-tight walls and height usually
