Big crops usually follow year Ct

While we work the top soil free OF
weeds, and retain the soil mulch
which will enable the alfalfa to sur

A well-constructed homemade sllo

danger OF its blowing down, rotting
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 $2.58 per ton capacity. The stave
silos cost $1.63 and the modified Wis
consin $1.61 per ton capacity. Silos of
small diameters 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 will not
be kept in perfect condition.
l. The walls should be alright
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 wash
on the inside with cement or with raw
coal tar thinned with gasoline is eff
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 why
rectangular silos are unsuccessful

that the pressure from above viii thor

Paaaninrs Violin In Dancer.

Paganini's violin, superb GuarneVi-
US. was bequeathed by him to mis- ma
tive town ct Genoa with instructions
that it was to be preserved perpetu-
ally" In 1907 fears were entertained
that a wood worm was wreaking dam
age to the instrument, and a special
commission of experts was appointed
by the municipality of Genoa to ax-
anime and report on its condition.
The commission decided that the wood
worm was nonresident. The presence
OF the worm is now fully established.
and the Genoese are greatly excited
lest this memento of one Of Genoa's
most illustrious sens should be ruined.
Ii is stated by experts that the worm
will not make inroads in violin which
is regularly played, as It is expelled
by the constant vibration.

The natural resources of the coun-

feel assured of attaining prosperity

of the game. Some day such a chance
will not be found anywhere en- the

opportunities await you as awaited the
pioneer and not one hundredth part
of the difficulties he encountered and
overcame. Success in Canada is made
up of two things, natural resources
and human labor. Canada has the one
and you have the other.
