wire fencing, put In after about two
inches Of cement has been laid, the
section Of fencing being cut long
enough to bend up few Inches ut
either end into the side walls. When
the reinforcing has been put In. the
remaining three inches of the floor Is
laid and the forms for the side walls
set up and used Immediately. Use
one part cement, two Of sand, and
four Of screened gravel. A pit Of this
kind Is large enough to hold the ac-
emulation Of manure on the aver
age farm until such time as It can
be hauled conveniently to the field and
spread.
Another Good Plan.
Another good way to save manure.
especially In the case Of hogs or Of
beef cattle. Is to have q concrete-paved
feed lot, preferably under q shed roof.
Where the farmer cannot afford q
paved floor. a cheap open feeding shed
may be made to serve the purpose
very well. 4 abundant bedding u used
to Absorb he valuable liquid manure.
In such Z feeding lot oe shed ths ma
nure 10 allowed to gather under the
feet Of the animals, each days bed
ding being stfswn over the well.
trnmped accumulation below. Some
farmers using this system arrange
their feed racks % that they can be
raised from time to time. making II
possible to feed till several feet Of
solidiy packed manure has accumu-
lated under the shed. 1t has been
shown that manure suffers little from
heating and teaching when handled In
this way.
Advantage Of Feeding Shed.
The feeding shed serves the pur.
pose Of giving the general farm. or
the beef-cattle farm, something Of
the advantage Ia the matter Of
manure saving held BY the intensive
dairy farm. Il has been shown BY
farm management surveys that the
manure saved 90 the American farm
under present conditions 10 almost ex-
acsly propost1soal to the number Of
animals fed under cover on the farm.
and that the manure Of animals not
stabbed has vssy little eiRect on Yields.

CONVENTION HALL
FAVORED BY MAYOR
Agrees to Push Plans for Park
way Structure After Con-
ference With Delegation
START TO BE MADE SOON

Plans for a convention hall along the
Parkway on Vine street. between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, will
be furthcred by Mayor Moore.
ne agreed to push plans for the erec- =
,lon of a hall on this site at con-
ierencc yesterday with delegation,
headed by Eli Kirk Price, vice presi :
dent OF the Fairmount Park Commits :
sion Alba B. johnson, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, and Edward
Box.
:. At the request of the delegation. the
Mayor said he would recall his recon
mendation made to city Council a
month ago to repeal condemnation
ordinance. and would have City So
licitor Smyth push the condemnation
proceedings and the filing of bond by
the city SO that lat least a start may
be made upon the convention hall or
memorial victory hail."
The delegation Of citizens upani-
mously favored the Vine street block
as the best site for the hall. It ex-
tends from Vine to Wood stscet, and
from Eighteenth to Nineteenth street,
racing on Logan Square. 1t Is lust
east of block taken over as site
for the central free library.
1t Is believed the ground and build
ing would cost the city between 81, =
OOO. 900 and 81 $50. 900.
MIR. Moore said he was opposed to
hall which would accommodate more
than 10 900 persons, on the ground that
At would be used but seldom and be-
cause the maintenance cost between
periods of use would be very high. The
committee agreed with the Mayor that
a smaller hall would be desirable, while
the larger structure was likely to be-
come white elephant" on the city 8
hands. -.
The Vine street tract was condemned
during the closing days of Mayor
Smiths administration, together with a
lhrge tract on the south side of the
Parkway, west Of Twenty third street.
and north of Callowhill, and another
tract on Vine street. from Bonsall to
the Schuylkill river, which was intended
az site for n powerhouse to serve all
of the great municipal buildings on the
the taking Of all this ground now, ex :
cept the river bank site on Vine street.
The Vine street tract on Logan
site for a Temple of Justice to house
the courts. A convention hall site on
the Parkway, west of Twenty second
street, was picked during Mayor Smith s
administration, but this gave way to a
later suggestion by Mayor Moore thnt
a location be picked on the Parkway
near Sixteenth street. The original site
proposed for the convention hall was
in Snyder's woods in Fairmount Park,
and 5000. 900 was paid for the planning
of a fine structure years ago. The in :
accessibility of the location resulted in
abandonment of the plan and the i'm :
provemcnt was postponed from year to
year because of the disputes over To-
cation.

GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Under general
selling by commission houses the wheat
market lost further ground today.
Pressure was centered against March,
which fell to new low levels for the
season. Support was lacking. Early
cables received by exporters said that
the British commission would not be In
the market again this week and init
mated that they would not pay over
zoos per quarter, or 12s shilling
loss than they paid on Wednesday.
December opened ut $1.7O to S1.7S1a,
against $1.S0A at the end yesterday.
and later sold at S1.77A. March
ranged from SLIP to S1.71 at the out
set, against $1.74A at the close yes
tcrday. o."
Corn was weaker under selling BY
commission houses. The principal buy
ing was by shorts.
December opened at 75a4c to 75kc,
against 76hc ut the close yesterday.
May started at SOAc to 7Ohc, com
pnred with 81 Nc. yesterdays last price ;
July was quoted at Sic to S0ssc at the
outset, against S2Ac ut the end yester-
day.
Oats were easier, with selling general
and support poor.
December opened ut ,4s1ac to 4sHc.
against 1880 at the end yesterday, May
started at 54c to $3.50, against 54A c
at the end yesterday.
Early estimates were for fifteen cars
of wheat, thirty five cars of corn and
fifty five cars of eats.

ATTACKS A. F. L. CAMPAIGN
Manufacturer Says Public Generally
Favors Open Shop

New York, Nov. 12.-"If the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor Is raising
500. 900, 900 to fight the adoption Of the
open shop throughout the country, then
1t stands self convicted of sponsoring
and perpetuating the very system that
the Lockwood investigating committee
Is revealing every day It is sitting. How
long will the American public stand for
that?"
]. p. Bird, general manager of the
National Association of Manufacturers.
made that charge here in discussing
the assertions made by leaders of the
American Federation Of Labor that en-
ployers are engaged In a conspiracy to
put the country on an open shop basis
and reduce wages, and the published
opinion of Ernest Bohm. corresponding
secretary Of the Central Federated
Union of New York, that the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor would ask the 1000 900 union
members for a defense fund Of $780,.
OO0. 900.
III the American public did not want
the open shop and fsIr dealings In all
the Industries of the country, their
popular approval of the attitude of the
federation would make 1t absolutely
unnecessary for the federation to spend
n cent he said.
