hides that had been consigned to a
fictitious firm in that city, and which
he suspected to be property stolen
from him when his slaughter house
was entered and robbed a few nights
ago.
His suspicious were verified soon
after his arrival in Poplar Bluff, and
he readily identified the hides as his
own property.
They were shipped from this city by
a man giving his name as w. T. Har-
ris, and were billed to the Poplar Bluff
Produce Co., which firm is not in ex-
istence.
The shipment consisted of three
hides, the total value of which is about
$50.
No one has called for the goods, and
a watch is being kept by the police
department for the party to claim
them.

Fire was discovered at 81 Main

7:30 o'clock last evening, and when
first observed the smoke was issuing

the rooms for the purpose of carry

successful on account of the dense
smoke with which the narrow stair
way was filled.
When the fremen arrived an en-
trance was forced to the interior OF
the burning building, and the seat OF
the fire was discovered in a mass of
shelving and dry boards that had been
stored in one of the back rooms in the
upstairs of the building.

PROPER TIME TO FILL SILo
Beoin Operation Soon az Corn Has
Reached Right Stage for Fod-
der-Let the SiIage Settle.

(By J. G. WATSON, Missouri Expert
ment Station)
Don't wait too long to fill the silo.
Begin as soon as the corn Is right for
fodder The kernels should be in the
dough stage but denied and the lower
leaves turning brown. Let the corn
mature as much as possible without
becoming so dry that water must be
added to make the silage pack solidly
and ferment properly.
Cut into pieces half to three-fourths
Of an inch long to make them pack
well and to prevent waste in feeding.
This takes more power but is worth
1t. Pack well with concrete hampers,
keeping the silage higher at the wall
than in the center.
Fill slowly, il possible letting the
silage settle day or so at time.
This makes it keep better and in.
| creases the amount the silo will hold.
This amount may be still further in
creased by using woven wire to hold
| more silage at the top. It will grad
ually settle into the silo but tends to
spoil while doing so. II more silage
is added after such settling, take out
the spoiled layer at the top.
II caught by frost, the corn for sill
| age should be cut before it dries out.
After that, add water. The corn may
even be shocked to put in at more
convenient time or to refill the silo
IL enough water Is added.
The experiment station has pub
lished bulletins on shock corn for
silage; silo building; and silage for
horses, mules and steers.

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pasture Rotation, Combined With
Drugs, Is Practical Method OF Sue
cessfuIIy Combating Pest.

The stomach worm is the worst pest
affecting sheep. Lambs are more sus-
ceptible than older sheep, probably
because the older sheep are accus-
toned to the presence OF the worm.
In the spring, soon after lambing. the
old sheep should each receive a dose
of one or two ounces of gasoline. fol-
lowed by small dose of epson salts.
After a day or two they should be
placed in a worm-free pasture, if pos
sible.
In July treat the whole herd. includ-
ing the lambs, with gasoline, and
turn them into new pasture, and re-
peat the process in November. Pas
ture rotation, combined with drugs
that are injurious to the worms, Is
practical method OF successfully com
batting this worm.

Wooden Ieehouse insulated With sawdust Mill shavnss.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Among It's typical designs for farm
icehouses suited to dairymen. the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
offers the following suggestion for a
wooden icehouse, insulated with saw
dust or mill shavings:
FramIng.-AlL framing used should
be dry, sQuare-edged. sawed fair and
full to the sizes given, and should not
contain any of the following defects:
Worm holes, shakes, heart pith,
warped, twisted, or unevenly sawed
lumber, rotten or unsouhd knots. Sizes
60 be as shown on drawings.
Boards.-Al boards used should be
thoroughly dry and sound and free
from loose knots, heart centers,
shakes, or splits, and should be
dressed and tongued and grooved. I'm
seasoned boards should be carefully
avoided
Papers.-All paper used should be
heavy waterproofed insulating paper,

certain amount of heat under given
conditions.
Cinders--Coal cinders should be
used where obtainable to cover the
ground area of building ia preference
to sand or gravel.
Excavating and Grading.-Excavate
for floor and foundations sufficient to
get solid and firm footing. Grade
entire floor to level shown and roll
and lamp until firm and solid.
Notwithstanding should be OF
stone or concrete OF size shown On
drawings and OF sufficient depth to in
sure a solid foundation.
Carpenter Work.-AN work to be
executed in a substantial workman
like manner
WaIIs.-Set up double lows OF 2 by
staggered with one by 4 tie, as
shown ON drawings, and cover outside
with one course OF R-ineh tongued-
and-grooved boards. Place on the out
side of this two layers of water
PROCEED insulating paper and then a
good quality OF drop or shiplap siding.
For inside of room place directly on
studs one course OF 70 inch tongued-
and grooved boards, then two layers of
ewaterproofed insulating paper, and
finish with one course of H-inch
tongued-and-grooved boards. Paper
to extend continuously around the cor
ners and lap six Inches.
CeiIins.-Ceiling to be constructed
as shown on drawings, with one course
Of A-inch matched boards nailed to
joists, then two layers Of waterprocfed
insulating paper, following by course
of "a inch tongued-and-g rooved boards.
Roof.-Roof to be sheeted with l.
inch rough board and covered with
good quality of shingles laid AZ
inches to weather and securely nailed.
Or some one of the patented rOodngs
may be used.
Doors-Doors to be constructed as
shown on detail drawings, OF good
quality Of seasoned lumber. Com
mercial doors can be bought at q
reasonable price, and will probably
give better satisfaction than those con-
structed by an inexperienced carpen-
ter.
Drainage.-Provide for thorough
drainage by filing in a floor about IL
inches deep with cinders or gravel,
and if necessary provide 3-inch
porous tile drain. Drain to be proper
ly trapped to prevent warm air from
entering room.
entiIation.-Provide ventilation as

TRAMP SILO WHILE FILLING
One or TWO Men Needed to Give 81
iage such Compactness as VIII
Insure Its Proper Curing.

The Importance of tramping while
filling is one that must be given con
sideration. In silo at least one OF
two men are needed in order to give
the silage such compactness as will
insure proper curing. The outside or
near the silo wall should be kept the
highest and made in the most compact
condition. This will prevent spelling
which is so very frequent in poorly
packed silage.
If the silo is filled quickly and poor
ly tramped, there will be a large
amount of settling. Where farmer
owns his own outfit it will pay to
allow this settling to take place for
one or two days and then fill up thu
silo.

Stars Velocity.

The velocity of a star seems TO De
a factor OF its effective age. Unlike
ordinary human experience, the speed
of a star increases with it's advancing
years, and in the whirl OF spheres
above us it is the young who cannot
keep the pace. The average velocity
of stars ranges from about six kiio-
meters, or between three and four
miles, per second for young stars to
about thirty kilometers per second for
odd ones. But notable exceptions
occur. At Mount Wilson solar observ-
atory OF the Carnegie institution some
stars have been found to move with
velocities of 141, $50, ITO, 2S3, 2l6 and
even 325 kilometers per second. the
highest speed yet known.
