Concrete for Silo Foundations

In the June Farm and Fireside writ
ter says:
Regardless of the material of which
a silo is constructed, concrete has been
accepted rs best for the foundation aud
floor at the bottom. The customary ex.
cavation is four feet to get the founda-
ton well below the frost line. For the
construction of the silo itself, here are
the principal materials that have stood
the test of usage: Wood slaves of CIV.
press, redwood, Oregon fir, and yellow
pine, reinforced solid concrete, reinforced
concrete blocks, glazed hollow tile, non
porous brick, pure iron, alloyed metal,
and stone. There are various modifica-
tions and combinations of materials
such as cement stave silos, wood silos
plastered inside with cement, and vari-
Gus paneled and patent silos of sp eial
construction. But if the inside wall is
smooth, vertical, and air tight, any silo
will keep its contedts in satisfactory
condition.
June, July and the first part of Au-
gust are the best months for making
the foundation, because the ground IS
dry and easily eScavated And by the
time the foundation has hardened it is
well to have the rest of the material
already on hand so it will be ready when
needed"

Cutting Down the Timeta bles.

One morning in Angus, 1914, England
-fguratively speakir. found itself
standing at the railroad station waiting
| for the train, but the train didn't come
| On schedule time, A growl went up
from the commuters who had been reg
ularly taking certain trains for years.
The station agents informed England
that Kitchener, the preceding evening,
had taken over the entire train service
of the country and for the first time the
average Englishman was impressed that
his country was actually at war with
| Germany and incidentally this same av-
erage Englishman received his first les
son in what this war meant-~to trans
portation.
Kitchener wanted the railroads to
move troops, to move freight, to move
munitions, and incidentally he wanted
lot of the men who worked on the rail
roads wanted them in France at once.
And all this meant that the people Of
England must learn to get along with
fewer trains and much curtailed railroad
schedule all over Great Britain
SO the people OF this country must not
be in the least surprised if their train
service is cut down. They must adapt
themselves to the new schedules that
eliminate trains little used and trains
that were run 50 frequently that the
choice offered the traveller or commuter
was really a luxury, since it was so
adapted to his particular convenience.
Some people will think they are being
inconvenienced but--think what hap
pened in England that night in August,
In some cases trains may be taken
off that ought to remain on the time
table, but all selfish interest should be
subordinated to the best service under
these extraordinary conditions to the
greatest number-Boston Globe.

against the six German boats that seud-
ded for safety as soon as discovered. IT
is probable that the British force was
somewhat in excess of the enemy, so
from the sporting side Of the proposition
the victory Of the British was not such
pronounced feat as it might have been
However, from the standpoint of the de-
STABILITY Of wearing down the German
naval strength the results were decided
ly satisfactory, One torpedo boat de-
stroyer sent TO the bottom of the sea
and another put out of commission for
some time make a good days work in the
game Of war incidentally, the little
brush reveals that the British are still
masters of the seas despite the claims of
the Germans after the battle of Jutland;
otherwise, the Germans would have come
out long ago and have given battle.

The New England Summer.

These days of June have brought sum
mer many rods nearer, not only by the
calendars witness but also by evidence
far more convincing. The calendar may
be printed in type as bold as you please,
but unless the sun shines cheerfully out
and warm breezes come erowding upon
us, the mere passing of days signifies lit
tie. To persuade people that summer is
here, there is scant use in an affidavit
from the federal bureau of standards,
though it should certify that July Is or
even Aug. had arrived, The appealing
arguments are the BIRDS song, the spar
kle of sunshine on summers seas, the
lure of pine woods where shadows are
deep, and the restful expanses of coun-
try and mountainside These are the
attracting force, and the languor of the
city's heat the expelling force. Together
they make the New England summer
an institution every bit as worthy the
attention which has been lavished so
freely on its sometimes forbidding com
panion, the New England winter.
Some mistaken rumors have travelled
the rounds, suggesting that in this year
of war New England may not enjoy its
summer Fairgrounds as freely as usual
On the whole these can be branded as
false. Lavish plans should of course be
eurtailed, but it is good to know that
people in general are intending to make
their customary summer excursions. One
of the nearby resorts on the Maine coast
reports the largest bookings since 1912.
In the absence of extraordinary condi-
tions, this use of the country seems
wholly justified. There is one economy,
the economy of work diligently pursued
and efficiently, and there is another econ
omy of recuperation, OF refreshment for
the toll that is coming Both are essen
tial to really good management of ones
resources, whether mental or physical.
Much of whatever adjustment is nee
essary will be automatically carried into
effect. The railroads necessary reduc-
ton of passenger service, which has been
announced and affirmed on the highest
as a move to help the carriers
perform the fullest possible labors for
he good Of the country, win be accepted
without complaint by the travelling pub |
lie, subject only to such restorations of |
rains as the actual demand may prove |
As Indicated the redue- |
ions of passenger service will have a 1
effect to keep the conduct of \
hummer plans within bounds. On one /
mall branch of the Boston & Maine from
which II of the customary summer trains 4
ave been taken, it is safe to say that
die journeyings from point to point viii ]
,e little in evidence On the other hand,
he coastwise steamship lines announce
hat they win maintain all their regular
ervices, and that none Of the vessels Of /
he Eastern steamship lines, for instance,
ave been requisitioned by the govern
nent. There i every reason to believe
hat travel by boat win be as safe and
As it ever was. The New Eng /
and summer Is on the way and its bene-
is wait for all who viii take them

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-06-06

The fire and vigor in the wording Of a
resolution introduced by John Spargo in
a patriotic meeting in Bennington on
Monday evening of this week indicates
that the ex-Socialist is no luke-warm ad-
vocate of the cause of the United States
government. For instance. this para
graph is a good representation of the
whole: Resolved. That we, the men
and women of Bennington, in mass meet.
ing assembled, regardless of difference Of
race, creed, sect or party, bound by a
common love of democracy and liberty,
unreservedly pledge our lives and our all
to insure the defeat of the German con
spiracy against the liberties of mankind
And if the need to accept some
priyation shall, in the fortunes of war, be
imposed upon us we pledge ourselves to
bear it with loyal good will, conscious
that thereby we serve the cause of our
nation and civilized humanity" That
is a good enough creed for any American
