 There was really . Robert, MT, Dillingham;, as I have no doubt you and the Inspector both discovered. And he was wastrel and he went to Australia. But he never came to the Red House on Tuesday afternoon. He couldn't have, because he died (unlamented) three years ago. But there was nobody who knew this, save Mark and myself for Mark was the only one of the family left, his sister having died last year.

 For the next two days Mark and I worked out our plans. You under stand by now that our aims were not Identical.

 When he was dressed up as Rob- crt, I was going to kill him. Robert would then be dead, Mark (of course) missing. What could anybody think but that Mark had killed Robert? But you see how important 1t was for Mark to enter fully into his latest (and last) impersonation. Half measures would be fatal. You will say that 1t was impossible to do the thing thoroughly enough. I answer again that you never knew Mark. He was being what he wished most to be--an artist. No Othello ever blacked himself all over with such enthusiasm as did Mark His beard was going anyhow--possibly a chance remark of Miss Norburys helped here. She did not like boards.

eters buried in the silage, which made
a record which could be read on the
outside. The thermometers were
placed 3 inches and 18 inches from
the wall and also in the middle OF
each silo. Three sacks Of silage were
carefully weighed and buried in each
silo at various depths, close to the
thermometers; and when the silage
was fed down to where the sacks were,
their contents were taken out and an.
alyzed.
The quality Of the silage was
judged by it's appearance and odor and
it's palatability to the cows. II much
difference had been apparent a feed
ing trial would have been made to
see which lot Of silage was better, but
the results in the two silos were Sc
nearly alike that it was not thought
worth while to make the feeding test.
In short, neither the temperatures
nor the chemical analysis Of the two
kinds Of silage revealed any marked
difference that could be ascribed to the
material used in the construction OF
either silo. Cows ate the silage from
both >silos with the same avidity. 1t
Is concluded, therefore, that farmers
may build stave silos or concrete silos,
which ever they prefer, without any
fear of not getting good silage from
either one, if the silage Is put up right.
1t Is assumed, Of course, that the
silo in either case will be properly con-
structed, with. smooth walls, straight

Is silage any better when put up IN
stave slos than when it is saved in
concrete silos? Stave silos are prob
ably the more common kind; they are
usually less costly. Many people, how
ever, prefer the more permanent con-
crete on account of the greater dur
ability and the fact that the building
material may be found near home in
many cases; but there is an impress
sion on the part Of some people that
the concrete silo does not give such
good results in the preservation Of the
siage from spelling and from freezing.
Experiments made by, the dairy di.
vision, United States Department OF
Agriculture, do not bear out this no
tiOn. ~a
In experiments conducted on the
dairy division farm, at Beltsville, Nd,
two sios were used, one concrete and
one stave, standing side by side. The
stave silo was directly south OF the
concrete on6, and hence got more sun
shine and less north wind. Otherwise
they had exactly the same conditions.

trade is what the nation needs to give
the last big push to get business out
OF the slough OF depression in which
it has floundered for the past two
years. Some of the supporters of the
bonus declare that instead of an evil,
payment of the bonus actually would
prove a benefit to the country as a
whole by starting the wheels of trade
moving rapidly to provide the four or
five billion dollars worth of goods
which the soldiers would desire to
buy with their bonus money.
That many soldiers would avail
themselves of land settlement bonuses
is doubted. It IS agreed that many
would want to acquire real estate but
they would want to select certain land
not available from the public domain,
such as city lots, part payment on
houses, and such property. There
fore, they would take the cash from
the government and spend the money
for land of their own choosing.

principal subjects of debate in con-
