Inside
Diameter
of silo

A 9O0-pound COW ordinarily con-
sumes 80 pounds of silage day, and
1,200-pound one about 40 pounds.
Yearlings eat about one-half as much
as mature animals; fattening cattle,
25 to 35 pounds for each 1000
live weight.
1t hapens, sometimes, that silo is
not wholly filled, because there Is not
enough corn planted for silage, and
there are not enough of other crops
to make up the deficiency. The
amount of silage that may be obtain
ed from an acre of corn varies from
to 20 tons. A fair allowance on
average land is s tons per acre.
Hence for Cotton silo it might be
well to plant s to 10 acres of silage
corn.
1t is best by all means to lay out
land enough in silage crops to fill
the silo to the very top; and if there

get a silo of the right size to fit the
herd.
Both the height and the diameter
of the silo must be considered. The
proper diameter of the silo depends
upon the quantity of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity will vary
with the size of the herd. The silage
should be fed out fast enough to re-
move it from the top of the silo at
the rate of Y to inches day, de-
pending upon climatic conditions.
The warmer the weather the more
silage must be removed from the,
surface daily in order to prevent
spelling. For the winter feeding
season it is safer to figure upon re-
moving . inches daily than any
smaller amount.
A common error in building is to
make the diameter too large for the
size of the herd. The weight of a
cubic foot of silage varies according
to the pressure to which it is sub
jected, but in silo 30 feet high the
weight per cubic foot averages about
40 pounds. So. by knowing the
quantity of silage to be fed daily, it
is possible to estimate what the dia-
meter of the silo should be to permit
the removal of certain number of
inches each day. The table below
shows the proper diameter of the 81
10, on a basis of 40 pounds of silage
per cubic foot, for herds of different
sizes to be fed different quantities
for winter feeding, when inches of
silage are removed daily:

"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" Double
Exposure" was her next vehicle, fol-
lowed by leading role in Fair and
Warmer" She played in Sometime, y
a musical comedy, and then in Here
Comes the Bride"
All this time she was appearing in
featured roles. But in Scandal" she
was costarred with Charles Cherry
In this play she achieved such a
triumph that her next step was in
dividual stardom. She took that step
this season and is appearing at the
klaw Theater in Mice People," a
Rachel Crothers play one which
promises to be the most popular of all
Miss Larrimore's vehicles.
Miss Larrimore has an interest not
only i'll her own part but in the pro-
ductlon as a whole. And if the stage
carpenters and scene painters and other
accessories to the play were to give
notice, 1T is quite possible that Miss
l'arrlmore herself could step in and
playing in Scandal" she helped deco
rate and design some of the sets, and
she planned the interior decorating
scheme Of the bedroom and actually
made most of the pillows and hangings
that were used.
That was supposed to be the bed

explained, land l know how girls like
their rooms, so | fixed up one Just as
| would have fixed it if it had been nv

production. l try to do the part | am

New-York tribune., 1921-03-27

The first play that Clare Hummer
ever wrote was Good Gracious, An
nabelle," about five years ago. 1t
opened in New Haven, went to the Park
Theater, Boston, and then came to
! the Republic Theater. In addition to
the long run enjoyed by the original
company, there were three or four
road companies producing the success.
| The same season Miss Hummer
wrote "a Successful Calamity" which
opened in Wilmington, played a week
in Washington and came to the Booth
Theater, where it remained for the
season.
Third in succession was "The Rescu-
! ing Angel" This also first saw the light
i in Wilmington, was shown week in
| Washington, then in Philadelphia and
then in the Hudson Theater here 1t
provided Billie Burke with one Of the
been her good fortune to obtain.
| Next came "Be Calm. Camilla" 1t
opened cold at the Booth Theater
three years ago and enjoyed a long
run.
"Geod Gracious, Annabelle" was
written when Glare Hummer was visit
ing on Long Island. 1t was really in
spirco by certain drive around some
large estates-one in particular had
some twenty-five to thirty servants,
the owner had been absent for years,
and there the servants were living in
comfort and luxury. To Miss Hummer
1! this was but bit Of the irony and
/, comedy of life. 1t was the heat of the
summer. There were people, born to
! the 1elicacies and refinements of life,
deprived of them; daintily reared peo-
/ pie were suffering from lack of money.
How happy things would be for them
to become workless servants. And
thus was conceived the character Of
| Annabellc---one OF the most delight
full products of civilization, who had a
profound loyalty to all that was really
beautiful and honest, but was super
! fetal about the tecnnicalities Of life.
! She REQUIRED and deserved the best that
! life has to offer, but found herself
without money, the subject of scandal
and threatened by. the law. She es
capped all her difficulties by becoming
a cook on an estate whose owner was
supposed to be absent. In order to
present logical reason for this girls
being in such a situation, the dramatic
and melodramatic causes were evolved.

ten days before the opening date ILL
ness in her family caused her retire

at the time. Mr.. Brady read the

In New Haven and in Boston Good
Gracious, Annabelle" was received
with unanimous acclaim; in New York
ia number OF the leading critics either
condemned it or passed it by as of
too little consequence to mention, but
later handed it columns of praise and
have ever since referred to it as one of
the classics of American comedy.

Of leaving It,
To most persons it would seem as if
Miss Larrmore's hair is reason enough
for her appearing on the stage, even
If she had no dramatic qualifications,
For certainly her glorious red locks
should not be wasted on pedagogy or
mere home life. There is certain
shade of hair that has an obligation
to the world at large, and Miss Larri-
more possesses that shade. But it SO
happens that her hair is really only
an incident, for her acting actually
overshadows it.
Although Miss Larrimore never had
any early longings to be an actress.
and the contidences of her stage-struck
school friends struck an unres sponsiva
chord in her, she is not without a
theatrical background, for she is a
niece Of Jacob Adler, and the theatri-
cal instinct which she has developed
must have had something firm to build
upon.
After her appearance in cover

very frivolous and flighty young bride,
Miss Larrlmorc began to develop a
seriousness and studiousness that had
never before manifested itself And
though she was always cast for the
most frivolous and frothy roles, she
gave an amazing amount of study and
thought to them.
1t was just eight years ago that she
made her appearance in Cover Night"
She followed this with Holbrook Blinn

''Romance" Brings Basil Sydney
Stage Prestige and Romance

Basil Sydney. who is playing the part
of the Rev. Tom Armstrong in support
of Doris Keane in Romance" at the
Playhouse, is making his first appear
ance on the American stage. He is q
young English actor who has a notable
record in plays of Shakespeare and Ib.
sen in London and the provinces
Strangely enough, it is with an Ameri.
can play and an American star that he
has been most closely associated.
Having Joined the British army early
in the war, he served at the front for
more than year and half before he
was wounded. Invalided home, he was
assigned to duty in the War Office. He
continued in this work for several
months, finally receiving permission to
devote part of his evenings to his pro-
fession. Eventually he gained the priv
ilege of giving all his evenings to act
ing.
When Owen Mares finally retired
clergyman in "Romance," at the Lyrie
Theater, London, Mr.. Sydney was en-
gagged to play the role. This was in
1916, and he has been appearing in the
part ever since. He is the third actor
to have played the character of Arm
strong, the original performance in the
New York presentation having been
given by William Courtenay.
Romance" not only brought Mr.. Syd-
ney new prestige, but it brought him
romance. In a whirlwind courtship in
London he won the heart and hand of
Miss keane. When Miss Keane decided
to return home and test anew the popu-
larity of the Edward Sheldon love
drama Mr.. Sydney accompanied her.
Following motion picture presenta-
tion of the play, for which Miss Keane
is said to have received $15O,OO0, ar
rangements were consummated for pro-
ducing the drama at the Playhouse.
To-day Romance" is one of the out
standing hits of the season. Old
friends of the play are flocking to see
it, and new theatergoers are attracted
by the drama, which depicts the love
OF an Italian opera singer and a youth
full clergyman in picturesque period
of New York's history. Miss Keane's
performance of Cavallini has ripened
and mellowed in the passing years.
while Mr.. Sydney is earnest and capti-
waiting as the Rev. Tom Armstrong.
Romance possesses all the ingre-
dlents that make for popular drama" )"
Mr.. Sydney said in his dressing room
at the Playhouse the other night. 'It
has sentiment. 1t has humor and
pathos. There is touch of the bizarre
in it. There is a fragrance of other
times and other customs about it. Nat
urally, am fond of the play and of the
