the householders sympathize with their
movement.
"As a matter of fact. the general run
of people do not sympathize with them
since the number of troops has in
creased, the position of the rebels has
remained the same. When their activi-
ties at any point become too lively, the
troops throw a few shells into the
houses they occupy and such explosions
have caused fires, while other fires have
been started by the rebels themselves.
They have barricaded Saclville
street and are in possession of all the
houses there. but they were shelled our
of Liberty hall by a gunboat Tuesday
and we occupied their headquarters i'm
mediately. They burned Linen Hall
barracks and other small fires have oc-
Cured.
"In the early stages of the revolt the
Sim Feiners fired on the members OF
the fire brigade, but later we cleare !
the area around the fires and the firemen
were able to eXtinguish the flames.
"On Wednesday the military arrange
ments were completed by the arrival of
further achievements and the rebels
were hemmed in in Sackville street. The
work of disposing of the troops to deal
with the snipers occupied a lot of time
and much care, but eventually this dis
trict and other rebel quarters were sur
rounded. Everything done has been car
ried out according to plans.
"a big Gordon has been drawn all
around Dublin and shorter cOrdons
around the inner districts.
"RegaI ding the situation in the prov
inces on the whole, it is very good. We
were naturally appTehensive lest there
might be some response there to the
Dublin movement. Fighting occurred ir

are now in possession of the town, buC
the rebels are encamped in a ruined cas-
tie. There also has been fighting in
Galway town which the rebels at
tackled and compelled us to land men
from the fleet to support the military.
Encounters took place at Ennfscor-

certain rebellious assemblages in Meath
and Louth, but on the whole reports
are quiet. This applies also to Cork.

is to be serviceable for any consider
able period of time. A silo Is feet in
diameter and % feet nigh will hold APP
proximately the amount of silage you
desire to store. You may build such a
structure of cypress and bind it with
white oak bands or you may use forest
or long leaf pine. 1t is better if the
slaves are planed and beveled and "A
splined together, as you have suggest
ed. This makes more rigid type of
silo which will last longer and preserve
the food to better advantage. Such a
structure can be built by the hands on
any farm under the supervision of a
reasonably good carpenter.
There is no reason why corn should
not be grown for silage after a crop
of oats has been harvested, but we pre-
fer here at the college to plant our sill
age crop early and give it a longer
period in which to mature. We nave
found it better to SOW a row of Red
Head sorghum and a row of kaffir
corn for filling the silo. We would be
disposed, if so situated as to make
this method practicable, to grow cow
peas or cOwpeas and millet after the
oats and make hay from this crop.
