CITY OF HAMBURG
One of the Three Free DlrgS OF
Germany.
Its People Spend Their Leisure Hours
on Water Front-st. PAUL., the
Sailors Paradise, One of the
Towns Noted Resorts.

Hamburg-It was nine o'clock and
still daylight in Hamburg. We sat in
a pavilion cste overlooking the Bin
nen-Alster. The lake was full OF
boats; sail boats, rowboats and ca
noes. Every now and then little
steamboat whizzed in from the Aus
sen Alster, its tunnels being lowered
and raised with a snap as it passed
under the lew bridge. A few bicycle
launches we're still scooting over the
water, ridiculous things with the rider
high in the air, pedaling wheels that
seemed to run right over the water.
The swans we're still hanging around
the edge of the water trying to coax
the loiterers to throw them a crumb
or two. One large one was away out
In the middle of the lake vigorously
following a launch that had the sign
"Liebnitz Cakes" tackled on its side.
We wondered If the swan could read.
/ do not believe Americans love
waterfronts as much as Europeans
do, for we only use our river banks
for mills and dumps, while in Europe
they make theirs the most beautiful
part of their cities, and there they
spend their leisure hours and center
all their love.
At ten o'clock it was not yet dark,
so we took a trip to st. PAUL., the
sailors resort in Hamburg. Several
big liners had docked that day and
sailors simply flooded and owned the
place. Everything was going at a
great pace, especially the sailors pay.
There were moving picture shows,
merry-go-rounds, side shows and cafes
all a perfect blaze of light. Many
fakirs were stationed along the side
walk shouting in their loudest and
most convincing German about the
excellence Of their wares.
The life of sailor is hard one
and the German sailors of the Ham
burg-American line only lives through
his many weeks of hardship on the
sea for the eight glorious days he is
going to spend at St. PAUL., which
has been called the Sailors Para

On a dairy farm a silo is almost a
prime necessity. Silage is succulent.
adds variety to the ration, is relished
by the animals and promotes a more
healthful condition of the digestive
system than when dry feed only is
supplied. For silo to be satisfactory
the walls must be air tight and suffi-
ciently rigid to withstand the pressure
to which they are subjected when the
silo is filled with heavy green material.
For ordinary silos filed with corn
silage this pressure increases eleven
pounds per square foot for each foot
In depth of the silo.
Corn for the silo should be cut
just before ii becomes fully mature.
At that time there is still enough juice
In the stalks so that the cut or
shredded Material packs in the silo
firmly and yet there is not that earlier
superabundance of juice whose pres
ence tends to produce a very sour or
acid silage.
In building a reinforced brick silo at
the experimental station of West Vir-
ginia, an excavation was made about
four feet deep to the underlying rock
in order to secure a solid foundation.
Then cylindrical brick wall was laid
up four inches thick, cement mortar
being used. AS the wall was laid god
wire nails, which previously had been
annealed by heating them, were i'm
bedded in the mortar with the ends
projecting from the wall about two
inches into the silo. Two nails we're
used for each square foot of surface.
After the wall had stood lew days,
woven wire fencing was cut into
pieces Of the proper length to go
around the silo. and the projecting
ends of the nails were clinched over
the wires so as to hold the fencing

CARE OF THE BLOOMING ROSE
Powers Should Be Cut in Early Morn
ing and Placed In Deep Receptacle
Full of Water.

Never allow a rose to wither on the
stalk or form a seed pod.
When cutting rose buds cut back to
a strong leaf bud and another rose
will reward you. Use good, sharp,
knife and give a clean, slanting cut.
While you are about it-cutting
roses-bear in mind the future shoot,
that is. so 1t adds to the beauty and
symmetry of the bush.
Cut roses early in the morning and
place them in a deep receptacle full
of water. until you are ready to form
bouquets or use them for decoration.
If you want them to last long keep
them out OF the sunshine and out OF
draughts. Cut of the stems every
morning and add salt to the water,
which must be changed daily.
