equal power to act on the board with
the other four members.
Mr.. Emerson has resided in Minot
for about twelve years, during which
time he has held various public offices,

manner.
During the whole OF the two years
in which Mr.. Emerson was a member
of the county board with myself
noticed that he endeavored to live up
to his path of Office, performing his
official duties to the best Of his abil-

Of his duties, took great interest in
his work and never yielded to fatigue
when public duty called him.

tons of ensilage in the silo. That
was the only thing left IN the wreck Of
the barn that was Of value. The barn
burned during the early days OF Jan
rary, during the bitter cold weather.
The silage froze from wall to wall.
This silo was wooden and the barn
had so much wooden structures
around it, that the walls were entire
ly burned away
: I fed this silage to all classes Of
cattle and sheep, to the beef cattle
and stockers Considerable Of it was
fed frozen. I saw no bad results from
it. fed it very heavily as it was
necessary to do or it would have
spoiled on me when the warm weather
OF spring came on This, perhaps,
was the most thoro test that know
of being made with frozen ensilage."
Yours very truly,
J.H. SHEPHERD, Dean.
NOTE-The present silo at the
College is of brick, o feet interior
diameter by % feet high, having
capacity Of 243 tons of silage.

~ Persons who are unaccustomed tor

nervousness is solely due to their In
experience, and Mat public men can
make speeches 90 coolly as they make
conversation IN some cases this may
be; SO, but few speakers are ever able;
wholly able to cast on their nervous
ness. Sometimes 1t persists only in,
the form Of mannerism, attractive or.
otherwise, but some old parliamentary.
ans never escape from the tremors,
land terrors which shook them when
their maiden speech was delivered.
The late duke of Deyonshire Isl usu-
| ally spoken Of as the perfect type Of
|: the impressive Englishman. When he
entered the house OF commons as Lord
Cavendish, he distinguished himself
! by prefacing his maiden speech with
a prodigious yawn. But he was by no
means as languid In fact as he was
! In appearance. III 81. 4. ii s.4zs J, .3 49,.
i When he rose to speak he. would
lean one arm on the nearest OF the
two iron-bound boxes on the table be-
!. tween the front benches. After =
slight hesitation and a few quiet
words, the other hand would steal to
the tail pocket of his coat and energs
+ holding. a neatly-folded white cambria
handkerchief. Without unfolding ii
! he would gently rub the corners Of his
mouth, and this done, the hand, still
: holding the handkerchief, would rest
f on the hip or be thrown back.
Sitting near him, one could observe
that the grip on his handkerchief
frightened, and that the muscles Of the
hand We're in continuous action. At
the close Of his speech the hand
opened, and one saw not the clean,
folded cambria handkerchief, but only
L a solid, greasy ball, which was quick

the safety valve for the impassive no.

Fl Gladstone was one in whom nerv-
BUSINESS had become mannerism.
When he rose to speak he began with
! a few gracious words on the speech
which was about to follow, or some
& pointed remark as to the character
/ and Importance Of the subject In
his earlier days this was, no doubt
to. sget his breath
His next act was to raise his right
/ hand over his head with the thumb
I bent down and gently scratch his
skull. That Is rather common among
public speakers. The third action Of
i Mr.. Gladstone was his peculiar, and
individual sign. Throwing his arms
II downward by his side, he would with
= his fingers seize the cuffs OF his coat
and draw these, down over his shirt
cuffs SO as to conceal them complete

reverse, the desire being to expose
