BUILD SILO IN THE BARN.
Then You Have a Combination That
Defies All Weather Happenings.

Here is positively the latest and clev-
crest thing in the great silo question.
The cement tlnk is built In the center
of circular barn, where its contents
are not only protected against all
weather conditions, but the animals to
be fed are protected also.
The power plant In the up to date
barn is easily and cheaply applied for
cutting and handling the ensilage, and
the whole arrangement seems to be a
fine application of the old Latin phrase
"multum in parvo."
The word silo comes from the French
and means ditch or pit, and this meth
Cd of keeping green forage seems to
have been first used by the French
people, but in the last few years the
farmers of America have surpassed
not only the French people, but all 9TH
ers, in developing this method Of pre-
serving green forage, and of course the
American farmers and manufacturers

A Little Too Hasty,

"Oh, very WELL" said the stranger.
"You have no objection to my looking

He sat down on the curbstone and
watched the stout man sift dust and
overturn stones. After twenty minutes
of painful STOPPING the stout man
found scarf-pin.

Poultry Pickings.

Keep the egg record up every day.
If you skip one day even the rest will
be guess, and guessing isn't business.
Trap nests are not expensive, but
they are very essential to the well di-
rected poultry farm. BY using trap
nests you can keep record of the
eggs.
The profit in poultry raising for
market lies in Matching early, pushing
the chickens forward as rapidly as
possible and marketing them early in
the season.
It will not do to allow ducks to share
the common lot of poultry in general
not that they require more attention,
but rather different manner of
handling and feeding.
Many people are realizing the profit
in raising heavy geese, as they are
worth more pound than the lighter
breeds, and every year there is more
demand for the Toulouse.
A hen should be fed some grain that
she doesn't have to scratch for. Al
though exercise is necessary to keep
her in good health, she needs time to
rest and dust herself in the middle of
the day.
Treatment for roup: One ounce per-
manganate of potash to three pints of
water for submerging the head. For
drinking purposes dilute one pint Of
the above mixture in three or four
pints of water.
Onions chopped fine and mixed with
the hens food occasionally will pro-
mote health. Onions are a great poul-
try tonic, and they are relished by
fowls old and young. Fall Matched
chicks tumble over one another to get
their feed when onions are mixed
