a good idea to add water to the

to keep it thoroughly tramped down

If it is thirty feet high, you may

foot averages about forty-two pou DIS

remember from Your school books
that in ora'erto find this, you square
the radius. or the distance from the
center to the circumference, multi
ply the result by 3.l416, ald then
multiply this result by the height.
When you have the number of cubic
feet, you may multiply by the
number of pounds in a ton. You will

the silo will hold.
Take for eX-n lp'e si!o twelve

Suddenly landed them both in the

ma. "DcR't climb up on the milksink
you'll upset it. 1t isn't fastened TO
the wall, you know"
Yes M answered Freddy, and he
stood up on his feet again, and put
his hands in his pockets. But he
couldn't help looking with longing
eyes at the milk-sink which stood
just inside of grandma's dairy door.
Somehow that sink had great
charm for Freddy.
You see, it was just the thing TO
play circus on. 1t was deep and
wide and there We're shelves be,
meath, where grandma set her pans
of milk after she skinned them.
1t was Freddy's delight to cling
with his hands to the edge, and
leaning back as hard as ever he
could, put his feet on, the lowest
shelf, and go UP until his heels
Wasn't that funny performance?
Freddy thought it was wonderf
feat, and he felt pretty sure that
he could turn over back wards thru
his hands, the way he had seen
circus men do.
He had not quite dared to try it

Gently, relates the New York Sun.
Their conversation began agreeably
enough. 1t was about the weather,
flats, coal and politics. The fat man
was a good listener, but the lean man
wanted to do all the talking, and every
time the roly-poly one said anything
the cadaverous man took the words
out of his mouth. The fat man began
to glance sidewise at his companion
It was apparent that the thing of hav-
ing his words taken out of his mouth
was beginning TO raw him up some.
The car travelled quite distance be-
fore he opened up again. Then he
said something about election, but the
lean man again interrupted and fin
ished what he was going to say. The
fat man jumped from his seat with an
angry fash on his face, shook his fist
at the lean man and said: 1T would
be worth ten dollars of any mans
money to give such poll parrot as
