INFLUENCES TOUCHING SOIL
Thorough PuIverlzatIon Of Soil Follow
ing Drought Tends to increase
YIeids-Frost Is Factor.

Big crops usually follow a year OF
drought, in the main due to the thor
ough pulverization of soil from that
agency. Frost is another factor that
gives big crops whenever 1t enters the
ground deeply. and either Of these
agencies viii till the soil deeper than
any tools can reach.
There is yet another agency which
should never be neglected, deep-root.
ing plants, which. beside their mechan-
zeal and acid action on the soil, bring
to the surface again fertility that has
1eached or that which is out of reach
OF the shallower rooted plants, or those
with less subsoil penetration. Wheat
or oats will attack the subsoil to a
limited extent Alfalfa and sweet
clover viii work with US and for us
all the time.
While we work the top soil free Of
weeds, and retain the soil mulch,
which will enable the alfalfa to sur.
vive, the plant roots are doing an
infinitely greater work below, besides
adding bacteria, bringing soil to life
that has lain practically dead, except
at the very top, for all the ages that
have gone.

ment of Agricuiture.)
A well-constructed homemade stlo
will last indefinitely. and there Is no
danger of its blowing down, rottins
out or being attacked by vermin, says
Farmers Bulletin $50 of the United
States department OF agriculture.
The cost of the homemade silo de-
ponds SO much on the size Of the silo
and on the local price Of materials
that no definite amount can be as
signed which would be applicable to
all conditions. Recently collected
data on the cost OF homemade silos
show an average cost Of concrete silos
to be $3.50 per ton capacity. The stave
siIos cost $1.63 and the modified Wis
-consin $1.61 per ton capacity. Silos OF
small diaIneters cost more per ton ca
pacity than silos OF large diameters.
There are some features which are
essential to the construction of all
silos and without which silage viii not
be kept In perfect condition.
1. The walls should be air-tight.
Since the keeping of silage depends
upon the exclusion of air 1t is impera-
tive that the walls of the silo be built
in such way as to keep out the air.
The lumber should be we'll matched,
and that containing large knots should
be rejected. In concrete silos a wash
on the inside with cement or with raw
coal tar thinned with gasoline is ef
fective in making the walls impervious
to air. Care should be taken that the
doors fit closely into their frames.
2. The walls should be smooth and
plumb SO that the silage will not ad
here to them in settling and thus
cause air spaces in the outer edge Of
the silage. Furthermore. the walls
should be capable of standing consid
cradle lateral strain without cracking
or bullying. This is one reason VIII.
rectangular silos are unsuccessful.
3. The silo must be deep enough q
that the pressure from above viii thor
oughly pack the silage and force on
the. air. The greater the pressure thu
less air in the siIo and the less will b
the loss of nutrition materials by fer
mentation.
4. The only form of silo to be recon
mended is one which is round. Thi
form IL the cheapest, capacity consid

CHURCH REUNION
GREAT SUCCESS
FORMER PASTORS AND MEMBERS
MAKE OCCASION PLEASANT
"reminiscences, Historical Sketches and
Music Make Up an Ideal
Program

The Twenty-fifth anniversary cele-
bration of the First M. E. church of
Clio was most enjoyable and success
full affair from every viewpoint. Es-
pecially enjoyable was the reminiscent
address by Rev. j. F. limerick, of Yp-
silanti. under whose pastorate the orig.
inal church was built, and the addresses
of other former pastors were most en-
joyable and helpful. A, very pleasing
feature not on the printed program was
furnished in remarks made by Rev. J..
d. Halliday, the first Methodist minis
ter to serve this circuit, who preached
at Pine Run and West Vienna before
the Clio church was built. Rev. j. J.
Hodge furnished an original poem that
was much enjoyed and will appear in
later issue of the Messenger The
church history by j. j. Jones was most
interesting and the musical program
very fine. The refreshments served by
the ladies' of West Vienna and Clio
were certainly splendid and greatly en-
joyed. At the conclusion of the pro-
gram about 5000 was subscribed for
the purpose of clearing off the lndebt-
edness on the parsonage which. will en-
tirely clear the society of debt.
