Such pits are seldom made over feet

In building q manure basin use a

bear in mind that the concrete walls

as for shallow manure pits, and do not
stop until the job is completed.
Lay the floor for the bottom and the

To give teams q sure footing on the
incline, embed In the concrete the
turned-up ends Of iron cleats bent at
right angles, similar to a capital U.
Old wagon tires, cut In lengths not
greater than 20 inches and turned up
4 inches at each end, will do. Leave
1 inch clearance between the cleats

Cutter for sIiaqe.
There are on the market several

looked by the purchaser. Many per.
sons make the mistake OF getting a
cutter which Is too small, thus ma
king the operation of filling the silo
very slow and interfering with the
continuous employment of the entire
force of men.
1t Is better to get machine large
enough SO that every one will be able
to keep busy all the time. The larger
cutters are equipped with self-feeders.
a labor-saving device which the small
Ter sizes lack. Other factors to be
taken into account in purchasing q
cutter are the amount OF work to be
done and the power available. or
course, for the filling of very small
silo 1t would not be wise to buy a
large machine. Neither would 1t be
advisable to overload the engine or
motor by using a cutter which Is too
large for the power available.
Two types of silage elevators are
in us-the old-style chain carrier and
the blower. The chain carrier re-
quires less power, but is harder to set
up and there is more litter when It is
used, especially in windy weather.
For these reasons the blower is now
fast displacing the carrier.
The blower should be placed as
nearly perpendicular as possible SO as
to reduce to the minimum the friction
of the cut corn upon the inside OF the
pipe and lessen the danger OF clog
ging.
The usual length OF cutting varies
from cne-half to l inch. The latter Is
considered little too long, since
pieces OF this length will neither pack
so closely In the silo nor be go com
pletely consumed when fed as the
shorter lengths. On the other hand
the longer the pieces the more rapidly
can the corn be run through the cut
ter.

SEVEN WOMEN ON :
 CHICAGO'S TlCKE
Few Illinois suffragists Take Advantage of Chance
 to Vote.

Chicago, Feb. 25-Comparatively few
 Illinois women took advantage yester-
 day of their first opportunity to vote under the provisions of the new state suffrage law. Returns tabulated here today indicated that more than two- thirds of the registered women remain ed away from the primary elections
 held in many cities and towns of the state.
 i In Chicago the total number of wo-
 men who voted was 47,5z9 or about 30 per cent of those who had qualified. The heaviest woman's vote in the
 state was at Gafesburg, the scene of a wet and dry contest, where the women cast nearly one-haf of the ftotal vote.
 Absence of important issues and stormy weather were given as the reasons for the light suffrage vote in other cities
 Seven Chicago women were noInin- ated for aldermen without opposition.
 Three of them are Progressives and Ufour Socialists. Two women can didates on the Democratic ticket were defeated: Ten aldermen were retir- ed to private life. All of them were
 Democrats and, with one exception, were opposed by the municipal voters l league.
 In some cases. their male opponents
 received the votes of more women
 than did the feminine candidates.

 Leutenant-Co1one1 H. F. Hodges, United States Corps of Engineers, is another of the constructors of the great waterway whose services will be required until at least the end of the present year. His work has been in looking after the important electrical installation at the three great locks Eands in providing for the aids to navi- gation through the canal It is ex- pected that this work will be com pleted before the end of the present year. Then the canal will be said to be really in condition for the safe passage of ocean going vessels and not before
 Some anxiety is manifested by Wal ter F. Beyer, assistant engineer in charge of aids to navigation in the ca nal itself, over the appearance of large quantities of water cabbage and Watef hyacinth that are growing rap idly and spreading. over the surface of the canal. These plants are form ing in large and small floating isl ands. and it is feared will prove a. hin drance to navigation
 PLANTS MAY BLOCK CANAL. Within a brief period after the iS1OSiAS O1 l1l0 Sc%0Sl OI OTe1L0A OQ111- way the water cabbage began grow ing along the banks of the lake thai was formed. Now. they have spread all over the. surface of the lake and float about in great Islands that are becoming very dense. These plants have very long roots and in shallow water become anchored fast to the bottom. Recently the water. hyacinth made it's appearance and like tfe cab bage is floating about in large islands l The growth of the latter is muck faster than the cabbage and forms masses of great density. It is feared that ships will have considerable diff. fcuIty in piercing these masses. Al ready means are being considered ] for the destruction of the plants or a l least for their control so they vii not obstruct the channel.
