DUBLIN May 10. - John Dillon

LONDON, May 19.-The govern
ment has adopted tho policy of the
non hand in dealing with sedition
in Ireland. All the leaders of the
Sim Fein society We're arrested by
police and soldiers during the night
The movement was apparently a
complete surprise and most of those
arrests were quickly and quietly
placed aboard ships,
The draGnet swept all over the
country and there was no possibil-
lly Of resistance. The majority Of
those arrested were taken from
their horaes while abed and only
few scnffles and a little revolver
play took plac According to lat
est reports hundreds of arrests were
made,
The proclamation by the new
Viceroy states that the arrests were
made because a plot with Germany
was being fostered. This gives the
ground for justification.
The Sim Fein movement has been
for a long time conducted in dotl-
ance of all civil laws and war pro-
htbitions, but the Sim Fein leaders

Majesty Of Scripture.

The majesty Of Scripture strikes me
with admiration, as the purity of the
Gospel has its influence on my heart.
Peruse the works Of our philosophers
with all their pomp of diction, how
mean, how contemplate are they with
the Scriptures! Is it possible that
a book at once so simple, 50 sublime
should be merely the work of man?
The Jewish authors were incapable
of diction, and strangers to the NOR
atty contained in the Gospel, the
marks Of whose truths are so strik-
ing and inimitable that the inventor
would be more astonishing char.
acter than the hero.-Rousseau.

the fodder in the silo so as to exclude
the air as much as possible. 1t Is
upon this one thing that the keeping
Of silage largely depends. A device
consisting of jointed pipe, or some
variation of it, attached to the top OF
the blower pipe is at present in use
fer distributing the cut corn fodder
in the silo. BY the use of this distribu-
tor it is possible at the same time to
scatter the cut corn evenly and at
tile same time tramp it. Without the
Use of this device it is necessary to
Lave at least one extra man in the
silo to fork the material over so that
ii is evenly packed. Besides the saw
ing of one mans labor, the distribu-
tor does away with the nuisance of
having the loose material flying
Ground, thus annoying the man in the
silo, and also lessons the danger of

add water to make up for the def
cheney in moisture and provide for the
proper packing Of the silo. This wa
ter is most easily added to the blower
when the corn is being cut. and it is
also more thoroughly mixed with the
cut material in this way.
For the top layer of the silo it is
good practice to use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms heavy layer
that packs well and at the same time
contains a smaller amount Of food
material so that the minimum loss is
sustained if it spOils. Various meth
COS and materials have been used for
covering the top of the silage to pre-
vent its spelling. None has given
complete satisfaction, but the one
mentioned above has given as good re-
suits as any, especially when the top
layer was thoroughly wet down and
ucked firmly by tramping. The best
practice is to commence feeding as
soon as the silo is filed, in which case
there will be no loss Of silage through
decay.
