More silos are built in the latter part
Of August and the first part Of Sep.
TENDER than at any other time Of the
year. writes c. Fisher In the Farm
and Fireside. The desire to see how
the corn crop viii turn out is largely
responsible for the very short time
that elapses between the time silos are
built and the time they are filled.
But a serious risk is involved in
building too late in the season. Silos
built of concrete or tile should always
stand empty at least two weeks be-
fore filing the first time. Tile silos
are guaranteed only when this time
elapses in order to allow the mortar
joints to thoroughly harden. Besides,
silo masons are so busy in the fall
that many farmers are obliged to wait
their turn, and by the time the silo is
finally filed the corn has lost it's sue
culent properties.
1.-THE best time for erecting such a
silo," says one expert, lis just after
corn planting. though 1t Is a good plan
to get the material on the ground in
the early spring while shedding is good

terial on hard roads and at a time
when he has most leisure"
Monolithic concrete silos may be built
at any season Of the year, but the best
time Is spring or summer, so they will
have ample time to harden.
Metal silos may be built at any time
Of year. Stave silos are best put up In

Organize Home Guard

Aberdeen will do we'll to initiate
Hoquiam by the organization of a
home guard, composed of men past
military age, for duty during the COM
ing war, to protect property in the
event of any attempt to make war in
this part of the country, or any overt
acts of lawless men, instigated by
enemies of the country or otherwise
While the militia of the state is in
the service of the federal govern
ment the preservation of law and
order is dependent soley upon the
peace officers, and these officials
should be strengthened by the know
ledge that the community was be-
hind them, morally and physically.

The City Elections

There are civil patriotic duties as
we'll as those of military nature, and
the duty of every qualified citizen to
vote at the municipal elections is not
least among them. The voter who
neglects that duty today has no right
to complain if city affairs do not go
to suit him, or her.
There is a danger that many will
consider that the election of mayor
and councilmen were practically set
tied at the primaries, but such may not
prove the fact if any large number
of voters fail to register their will at
the polls.
The action of the recent session Of
the legislature in restricting the limit
of Indebtedness to five per cent of the
assessed valuation has nullified the
decision of the supreme court in the
Hoquiam case, which was relied upon
by the present city administration to
remedy the financial condition of Alb
erdeen by permitting the laying Of ad-
ditional taxes, and the incoming Off
Gals will find themselves confronted
with the same difficult financial prob.
lem, a problem that will affect every
department of the city government.
1t will require wisdom and courage
and high sense of duty to success
fully meet this problem, which will de-
mand sharp pruning Of the current
expenses of the city if it's warrants
are to remain valid and negotiable,
without materially weakening the gov
eminent of the city, hence the import
ance of every voter doing his duty.

Manure Should Be Conserved,

Much care should be exercised in
handling, manures in order to secure
the greatest returns from their use.
A few suggestions are offered by the
Pennsylvania State college experiment
station for the proper conservation of
manure. First, save all the liquid ma
nure; second. prevent teaching and fer
mentation; third, if possible haul ma
nure on the land as rapidly as it is
made: fourth, buy nitrogen in concen-
trated feeds rather than in commercial
fertilizers: fifth, reinforce the manure
with phosphate so as to make it a
balanced ration for plants.

MIXING FERTILIZERS.
Prsoautions Necessary to Avoid Max
ina Undesirable Compounds.

ing Undesirable Compounds.
Home mixed fertilizers will prove
just as efficient in every way as factory
mixed goods Of equivalent composition,
provided some simple precautions are
used against undesirable mixtures.
The Pennsylvania State college
school of agriculture and experiment
station cautions against the use Of lime
in home mixing. If 1t is desired to
neutralize soil acidity the lime should
be applied separately and not mixed
with the fertilizer. Such mixture
does not add value to the lime or ferti-
lizer and in most cases the mixing
would be detrimental.
Wood ashes. since they contain lime,
should be applied alone and not mixed
with the various fertilizing materials.
Certain commercial materials, as basic
Stag. cyanamide and calcium nitrate.
which contain an excess of lime, should
be avoided in home mixing. The OBJ
servance Of these precautions will obvi-
ate the danger of Jumping, the loss Of
plant food through volatiliZation or the
changing of available into unavailable
plant food through chemical action.
Stable manure or other fresh organic
matter should not be considered in the
home mixing of fertilizers. Manure in
itself is complete fertilizer, but a
poorly balanced one. It should be re-
enforced with acid phosphate, rock
phosphate or bonemeal. This Is the
only mixing Of manure and fertilizer
that should be considered.

Reviving Tariff Issue.

The American Economist, the Off
cial organ of the ultra protectonists,
is dissatisfied with the personnel of
the Tariff Commission appointed by
President Wilson, and the objections
raised are being echoed more or less
by the press of the standpat wing of
the Republican party. OF course, no
commission unless a majority was in
sympathy with the extreme high pro-
tectionists would be agreeable to the
Economist and nothing would be more
to the taste of that journal than to
have the tariff returned to its old po-
sition as the football of politics.
Under the law, the commission is
bipartisan, and to it's selection Presi.
dent Wilson gave serious study, rec
ognizing fully the evil effects upon the
country of having this purely sectional
question made party issue. There is
no call for alarm on the part of the
nation in this matter. The demand
for such a commission has been too
general to be ignored, but the fault
finding of the erstwhile beneficiaries
of the robber tariff is not altogether
unexpected.
AS an opening wedge, the DIRECTORS
pretend to be alarmed for the new
industries in the manufacture of dyes
and chemicals undertaken since the
beginning of the war, fearing an i'm
partial commission may refuse them
the protection necessary for continued
existence. The fear is needless. No
party or considerable number of in.
dividuals have ever denied a reason
able amount of protection to infant in
dustries. 1t was only when the in
fants became sufficiently strong to
control congress and write their own
tariff schedules that the people de-
cided it was time to wean them. And
they are going to remain weaned.

Exceptional difficulties have been

the remarkable industrial activity of
the country, recruiting is and has been
since the increase was authorized at
very low ebb. 1t is therefore probable
that the estimate Of 125,O0O as the
