in Georgia at rea sonable cost, and if
properly constructed, will preserve this
invaluable food in a perfect condition.
A stave or hoop silo is probably the
cheapest type to construct. In building
a silo of this character we would prefer
to use cypress. The. slaves should be
Exc and beveled on the edge so as to
fit tightly into circle. They should be
held in position by bands of wood 2X3
or inches in width. These bands
should be doubled and securely nailed.
We would prefer to use oak for the
bands silo of this type, capable Of
holding 75 tons could probably be built
for SIS to 1925 if farm labor is used to
aid in the process of construction. 1t is
of course contemplated that this silo
would have a cement foundation
Other types of stave silos may be
built in which iron hoops are used for
the bands. If a high grade of lumber
ds used, silo capable of holding 125 to
100 tons will probably cost, including
painting and roofing, $3.50 to $3.50. A
cement plastered silo on metal lath Of
the same capacity can be built at a cost
OF $3.50 to $500. A monolithic structure
of the same capacity will probably cost
$3.50 to $500. \ monolithic silo of
course will last indefinitely if properly
constructed. If the farmer is in posi-
tion to build a good type Of silo it will
pay him TO put little more money into
the structure and do the job right. Those
who are still unconYinced of the merits
of the silo and have only limited means
at their command, should build the
cheaper types. BY all means have a silo
if you expect to keep either dairy or beef
cattle.

But for the efforts of action sf ths G. VI. Long company, and the late Cap tain Thomas Hamilton, a member of the firm, in particular. the city would not have in its possession the water front it now proposes to put to public use At the council meeting. Monday evening, 1t was voted to recommend an appropriation of S32, 900 to erect a public wharf on the Long market site. This would not only relieve the congestion at the ferry landing. but would also give to visitors to the city hy the water route much-needed ec- commOdations- The original Long market was located on the water front in the rear of the New London whai- ing bank property and was condemned for railroad purposes, which meant that the c. M. Long company must find new location or go out of bus mess They did not propose to do the latter and the marketmen erected the Neptune building on the site of the "Old Yellow Building on the Parade" 1" the market to be located in the base ment of the building. Captain Thomas Hamilton held to the opinion that the only proper place for a fish market was on the water front and convenient to the railroad in order to facilitate shipments.

The revenue cutter James ". Camp bell, was a schooner, sailing vessel, and much of the time was at anchor off the custom house. In fact this vessel used to remain on the station so long at a time. that the point where she was anchored was christened Beef Bone reef. as all refuse was dumped into the harbor. and the beef bones formed the reef. that of course never existed. only in the vernacular of that lOng-ago period During the civil war this same cutter Campbell like the other cutters in the service. did actual war duty in addition to it's service for the treasury department. They did not go out on the high seas and engage the enemy as they were not equipped for such service. but they did scout duty and picked up many vessels engaged in commercial trade for the benelt of the south Yes. in deed, there is a vast difference between the revenue cutter James w.

New London, March 10-James Palmer Lester. died recently in New London arc the local papers announced his death and funeral. and simply that and nothing more. While it may not be the proper thing nowadays to be fulsome whenever a death out of the ordinary occurs still in these advanced times 1t might not be anniss to say few words concerning the departed that may be real news to the present generation. MT. Lester was ship caulker by occupation. as was his father and his uncle Palmer before him. and was among the last who followed that once thriving occupation in New London, but which Is now almost amonr the lost trades, so far as New London is concerned. Ship caulkers were in great demand in those good old whaling days" that some of tho older of the old salts delight in telling about at the jib-boom club rooms and wherever old time mariners congregate. and there were many of them fin this city during that period. and up to the time of the civil war. when a big fleet of New London whalers were laden with stone and scuttled off Charleston harbor. a factor in blockading that port. Then the cauiking business gradually waned and finally faded In the days when full-rieged ships were not rarity ana "hch diOn9 N'e | water front from railroad bridge to l railroad bridge was a forest of masts. the caulhers malets could be heard above the din of the ship carpenters | broad axe and the creaking of blocks
