The illustration also shows how the
upper corners of the concrete wall are
beveled after the concrete has become
sufficiently stiff to permit this being
done. The 2 by sill with a large
spike for an anchor Is also shown i'm
bedded in the top of the wall. Tho
concrete should be made from clean
sharp sand and enough Portland ce
ment to insure strong mixture. The
proportions will run about as follows:
One part cement, 2 IL parts sand, anc
parts of broken stone. Enough wa.
ter is added during the mixing, which
must be thoroughly done, to make a
mixture that is thin enough to settle
to the form with light tamping but not
so thin as to carry the cement out
through the cracks OF the form by the
water leaking out. The foundation is
reinforced with piece of three-foot
woven wire fencing placed in the cen
ter of the form before filling with the
concrete mixture.
After the wall has set sufficiently to
stand alone, the forms may be re-
moved and the floor laid to depth OF
four inches. 1t is advisable, but not
absolutely necessary, to pack about
four inches of wet cinders in the bot
tom of the pit before laying the floor.
Before the wall and floor have hard.
ened, finishing coat of sand and ce-
ment mixed three-to-one should be put
on with a plasterer's trowel.

FEEDING ENsILAGE TO COWS
Careful Test Made by Ohio Station to
Determine its Economy and Eff
clency-Res.l. Given.

The Ohio experiment station insti-
tuted a careful test to determine the
economy and efficiency Of 'ensilage.
They took two cows; to one was fed
a ration Of IS pounds of ensilage
made of corn and soy beans. 6.S
pounds OF mixed hay. 2 pounds Of
bran and pounds of oil meal.
To the other COW was fed a ratiUL
made of ga pounds of hay. az pounds
of corn stover. 6 pounds of bran. s
pounds Of corn meal and rs pounds
of oil meal. The two rations are
chemically of about the same value,
but the cows found a marked differ
ence.
The COW fed on the ensilage ration
produced SO pounds of butter from
one dollars worth of feed, while thu
other COW produced about 5.2S pounds
II butter from the same cost Of feed.
Now the above shows 1862 pounds of
butter more. OF a value Of s1.0s. for
the ersilage ration over the other

Though these veins do not carry

they convey blood from the udder to

passes through the udder the more
milk the COW will give. In that milk is
produced from the blood.

POLITICAL GREEN GOODS.

1t is the intelligent voter, not the
political sheep, who is going to decide
matters November 5. In no cam
paign in the nations history has
there been a situation as complex as
the present or one which calls for
more intelligent reasoning hy the In
diyidual voter. And one thing the
party leaders are forgetting is that
the average voter of today is vastly
more capable of reasoning for himself
than he ever was before
He has had a better education: his
means Of information have vastly i'm
proved and he has learned from long
experience just what balderdash the
political stump speakers and press
bureaus are putting out says the
Joliet Herald.
For instance the. voter knows that
there is not a political party which
wouldn't take a big donation from a
trust source"
No amount of denial would con-
vince him that a 100000 contribu-
ton would be turned down, ex-
cept perhaps under the lime light just
now turned on
It was mistake for Mr.. Roose-
yelt's managers TO deny the source Of
contributions and allow the Taft
crowd to put them in the hole with
Mr.. Morgan's evidence. 1t was a
tactical blunder to first deny and
then, when forced to admit where the
money came from. to fall back on
such a statement as the Chicago
Tribune apologeticany puts forward
that Mr. Morgan gave the money
voluntarily and was given no prom
tses in return.
wouldn't that make any ono
/ laugh?
For long years all the politlca
parties have taken such subscriptions
We have no doubt Taft would take
them, Wilson would take them
Roosevelt would take them. yes ane
we would hate to think what Deb,
finance committee would do if it gof
a chance.
The silly thing about it All IS th,
denial Of what the sensible vote
knows is a fact
