The reinforced concrete silo is no
longer an experiment. It is practically
indestructible, cannot burn or rot and
is fully as serviceable in every way as
a first class wood silo. The Wisconsin
concrete silo is erected with the forms
designed at this college which permit
a few farm workmen to build a good
silo at moderate cost.
These forms consist principally of
frame in sections lined on the inside
with sheet iron which leaves a smooth
surface when the concrete hardens.
These forms may be made into small
sections or larger ones according to
the desires of the builder. The best
way is to make eight sections to COM
plete the circle, SD that they are easier
to handle when the silo is being erect
ed.
To build silo of this character the
foundation is first prepared and fin

The Joy of loving and the pain which
love can bring beat unanimously to-
gether in Christ's cry from the cross.
But underneath them both there is
obedience, and the idea from which
obedience proceeds. Not for one mo-
ment does he think of coming down
from the cross to find his Father.
Whether he find him or lose him,
whether the issue OF his love be the
perfect joy of union or the exquisite
suffering that separation brings, he
must obey him first. Even If his
doing of his Fathers will seems to
shut him out of Fathers presence,
there cannot be a question; his win
must be done"

the young leaves near the developing
fruit about two weeks after the tree
blossoms. The young larvae of a
dark yellow red color chew their way
out of the eggs, feed on the foliage
and shortly work their way down into
the calyx cup of the apple.
The larvae burrow down into the
embryo apple, feed there and are
often carried to the ground by fruit
dropping from the tree, in which case
they work their way into the soil and
pupate, surrounding themselves with
a spongy, web-like cocoon. After pupa-
ton the process is repeated, the sec
ond brood Of eggs being deposited on
the fruit itself, where they tunnel
directly through the tough skin of
the apple to the seeds and kill them.
The second brood of larvae leaves the
fruit and burrows beneath the SOIL
where it winters enclosed in a cocoon
in the larVal stage In the spring it
pupates, energies from the soil and re-
peats its life cycle.

ished up to the point where the walls
will begin. Then the inside and out
side forms are arranged in a circle
and the first two and a half feet of
concrete is placed within the forms.
Then by means of scaffolds the forms
are raised and the next course is
poured as soon as the concrete has
hardened sufficiently to bear the added
weight.
The reinforcement should be laid
In the concrete as it is poured about
one inch from the wall. The size of
the reinforcement should be laid in
the concrete as it is poured about
one inch from the vail. The size of
the reinforcement should vary accord
ing to the size of the silo and must
be laid closer together nearer the
bottom of the structure. For instance.
five feet from the top of a 40-foot silo

ID inches apart as a continuous band

This college is arranging to build
a number of sets of forms which will
be loaned to farmers at cost of trans
portation, ETC., in communities where
several silos may be erected in a
single season by using the same set
of forms. A representative of the col
lege will accompany the forms, when
they are first taken to new commu-
nifty, to explain how they should be
used. In this manner the college
hopes to encourage the building of
permanent silos.

Wisconsin Fisheries Increase in Value.

Wisconsin Fisheries Increase in Value.
The value of the fishery products
of Wisconsin was $1,067, 900 in 1908,
as compared with $4,000 in 1899.
There was a considerable gain from
the Mississippi river and it's tribu-
taries and from the great lakes, as
appears in the special census report
on the fisheries of the United States
for 1908, prepared under the super
vision of William M. Steuart, chief
statistician for manufactures, and
soon to be issued by the census bu-
reau.
The number OF persons, exclusive
of shoresmen, employed in the fishing
industry of the state was 1889 in
1893, as compared with 1915 in 1899.
The capital, 100000 in 1908, was in
vested In vessels and boats, including
outfit, to the extent of $4,000; in
apparatus of capture, $407, 900; and In
shore and accessory property and
cash, $4,000. The cost of the equip
ment in 1908 was nearly double that
of 1899. In the great lakes fisheries,
comprising Lake Superior and Lake
Michigan, the value of the equipment
was 1851, 900 in 1908, as compared
with s36S.000 in 1899.

The sessions of the state camp of

being the most stirring session of
Woodmen ever held in Wisconsin.
The camp opened its session at Castle

tending the state gathering of the
order. Every one of the 1873 delegates
were present and every county in the
state was represented. The session
was called to order by Judge Clifford
