UNDERGROUND SlL0s

The underground silo is exception
ally well adapted to those districts
having n limited rainfall, and in such
localities may with impunity take the
place of the over-ground construc-
ton. 1t is distinctively u Western
type, and the Western farmer and
stockman, especially those of linn
tied means, find it possessed of
many interesting and worthy fea-
lures.
No longer an experiment, the UNI
foreground silo has value that is
fully demonstrated. In New Mexico
Texas and Colorado, as well as
Nebraska, Il number of these silos
have been i'll constant use for years,
giving perfect satisfaction. The I'M
foreground type, if properly con-
structed will keep silage as well as
the average silo of ground va
riety and will be found TO justify all
reasonable claims made for ii.
The underground silo is not only
free from the possibility of blowing
down or falling apart, but has no
hoops that need tightening or ex-
pandiug, and the expense of mainte-
nance is comparatively nothing. Its
type of construction appeals strongly
10 the man who has but little cap
itaItal and who desires silo. 1t
can be built by the farmer himself
when he is not otherwise engaged on
the farm. The cost of construction
i couservatively placed at from one
dollar TO one dollar and fifty cents
per Ton capacity. which includes tn,
price of material and labor.
Not only is the cost of construc'
ton of this silo cheap and fayorabl,
10 the farmer who desires TO make /;
dollar go Is far rs possible, but ow'
ing TO the fact that neither Il blower
nor an elevator Is required IN con
nection with the silage cutter, eXpen

CONSTRUCTION

cunvcyur combined.
CONSTRUCTION
As stated in the outset. the under
ground silo j. especially well suited
To sections where there is limited
rainfall, but it i especially true that
II should not be constructed III wet
ground. or where the water Is near
the surface.
The walls should be- even and per-
pcndcular, the depth about twice the
diameter. and the size of the hole,
which is round, proportional To the
number of animals TO be fed. The
assumption that an underground slIo
must of necessity cover wide area
at the expense of lis depth. thus
causing great loss through spoil
age on account of its extensively eX-
posed surface, Is lily based and has
10 legitimate place in the considera-
ton of this important construction.
There is no more reason for the as
sumption that the underground silo
should have a width out of harmony
with il depth. than that the over
ground construction should be- equal
~ disproportionate with the accepted
rules of >ilo building. Once equipped
with the inexpensive and simple de-
vices described in connection with
bulletin for the removal OF ~ilage
from the underground silo. there Is
no reason why the depth should not
in all cases conform to the rules Of
dimensions applying to the over
ground silo, namely: Depth equal 10
twice the diameter.
CEMENT COVERING
The earth wall of the successful
underground silo must necessarily be
covered with cement 10 prevent the
~ilagc juices from being absorbed.
II the earth will stands well, without
danger of caylng, Il = to "4-inch
covering of good. rich cement plas-
ter ON the dirt will be- found sufii-
cient. 1t j. often found advisable 10
plaster on close mesh rabbit wire
that has been securely anchored to
the dirt wall, this plaster being put
on in from two TO three eats, the first
being rough or scratch coat. The
first two coats will be well construct
ed if made of one part cement To four
part, of clean, sharp sand, while the
third coat should be made of one
part cement and three parts Of sand.
In applying these coats of cement the
second should be put on before the
first gets well set, and the third
should be put on before the second
gets set
In order to save the necessity OF
scalrolding in the application of this
plaster. it should be put on AT the
time of digging the hole. beginning
at the top and finishing downward Ill
sections as the excavation pro-
crosses.
If there is danger that the earth
wall will cave. or not stand well, the
cement should be made from two to
three inches thick, a wooden or metal
mould or form being required to hold
the cement in place until it "sets.'
This mould ar form need not be over
three feet in height, which arrange
ment requires that construction OF
the cement wall begin at the bottom
of the silo, and the structure Will be
in sections of three feet each, rather
than NIL at one time. Thus three feet

Way up in the north Arctic ocean. out of the general trend of trade. beyond the lines of venture some discovery, there is an island or continent which has never been trod upon by the foot Of civilized man. Arctic explorers in this land of midst, tell of finding floating sticks and wooden uteRslls of pc culiar manufacture. There the wild swirl of the tide and running cur rents are deflected and swung from their natural courses, which could only come by the iuterposition of a large body of land; nothing else could do 1t. Then there are uncertain legends among the dwell Iers of the extreme North who tell of a land far out in the Arctic ocean: but their stories are sur rounded and enveloped in tradition and incompetent invention.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

The director of the census, Mr.. Durand recon-
mends to Congress that when the next enumeration
is taken the rural mail carriers be given the work of
gathering data in the country. He points out that
they emnently equipped for the service and that
it is natural and sensible cooperation between
departments of the Government.
Merely to suggest this idea is to carry conviction
that il is exactly the right If the rural carriers
are not competent to do the census work. then they
are incompetent to perform the work entrusted to
them. If they are competent for the census work,
it is sheer folly to enlist army of new people in
each census year to do it.---
Mr.. Durand has submitted a proposal that illus
trates how cooperation and correlation among various
divisions and functions of the Government would
both improve its service and decrease its cost.

THE TELEPHONE RATES.

Formal demand has been laid before tine New
York Public Service Commission for a revision and
general reduction of telephone rates. An investga-
tor VINO has made detailed study has laid data before
the commission, showing that reduction of Is per
cent could and should be made; the earnings of the
New York company fully ,1stify it.
If that is true of New York, it surely is of Wash
ington. This town pays more for telephone use, on
the average, than any comparable community in the
country. The adjustment of charges is altogether
bad

TREASURY AND THE BANKS.

The explanations which Secretary MacVeagh and
Assistant Secretary Bailey, of the Treasury, have
offered in answer to sensational allegations by Ru.
dolph Spreckels, seem to be entirely satisfactory.
Unless there is something more behind the recent
shift in Government depositaries than either Mr.
Spreckels or the Treasury people have made clear,
there is certainly no ground for suspicion that a
vicious motive promoted the change.
II is serious thing to charge that an outgoing
Administration would deliberately juggc the national
financial power with the purpose of embarrassing
an incoming one. On the face of statements to this
time il appears that the Treasury has been moving
to increase the efficiency of its operations, and
that there is no danger of the relations between the
subtreasuries and the deposit banks being used to
precipitate financial difficulties.
