Henry G. Bell. Question -G. L. L.:-(1) I would like to learn a little about pit silos.. I think they have a great many advant- ages and would like to try one. State how the gas trouble is overcome, and donehow the digging and plastering are (2) Have we not been cautioned to provide drainage for the inside of the silo to prevent actual accumulation of liquid. How can this be done in a water -tight pit? (3) Is there any simple way of re- moving -the silage from a pit silo. Answer: -(1) Lowering a light into the silo will soon discover the pres- ence of gas, since if it is present the light will go out immediately. The gas is heavier than air; hence, if you throw in a couple of feet of coarse blocks or rocks there will be room for the gas to settle at the bottom of the silo and not occupy the volume where' the silage rests. As to the digging and plastering, in digging a pit silo the dirt can be throw out to a depth of six or eight feet, but it is best to throw it out to a depth of about five feet and then true up and plaster the walls. Otherwise it will be necessary to build a scaffolding inside the silo. Care should be taken not to dig. out too far, so that there will be holes or uneven pieces in the walls of the silo. It is best to leave three or four inches at east to be re- movetrued.d when the walls are finally After you have excavated „bout five c' six feet and have the walls trued, they s:xould be plastered with a good cement mortar.. The first coat can be put on about a half an inch thick, and should be made of one part cement and three parts clean sand, and plastered right on the dirt walls. If the weather is rather hot and the walls have dried out considerably, it would be best to .sprinkle them, so that they will be moist when the cement is put OR. As it is desirable to have this cement three -qua'rt'ers of an inch to one inch thick on the walls it would perhaps require three coltts to do this, as not more than one-quarter of an inch can be put onat' a tinie after the first coat. After the first coat has been put on, it will probably be pos- sible to follow with the second- coat, since the first sets rapidly, but the second coat will require time to set. (2) There are two ways of getting rid of the moisture in tl(e bottom of the pit silo. The first is to run a pipe from the bottom of the silo up to the ground level, and have it connected with a small pump. If moisture gathers in the bottom of the silo it can. be pumped ot,t at intervals. The second means of procuring good drain- age is to arrange for a small drain pipe to run from the lowest point in the pit silo and connect with some out- side drain. Before it is time to put the silage in, open this drain pipe and al:ow the water to drain out. After the silo is thoroughly drained close the pipe by driving a close fitting plug in the end of it.- This will prevent the entrance of air. (3) The hoist which was erected for getting out the dirt when building the silo can be used for taking out silage. A box with a capacity of about 10 bushels of silage is sometimes used. This box is provided with t'wo 8 -inch wheels under one end, and the other end has handles, so that it is possible to use this in the same way that a wheelbarrow is used. After the silage is used down to some distance, a horse or a gasoline engine can be used as•a source of power to rue. this hoist. capiihe 8tor/es Thieves. As the judge opened the front door he. heard Sheila's voice -a clear and pleasant young voice, but very, very decided, 'I'm telling you this for your own good, you know, Katie, It's such a waste of time and money and every- thing else for you to try to c10 some- thing you never were meant to do." Another voice answered her. The Judge was something of an expert in voices -his work had taught flint to know especially all the tones of hope- lessness and discouragement, The other voice was irresolute; it would take only a little more to make it despairing. "Of course I knew I never could make a fine teacher, 1Vliss Sheila,, but it seemed as 02 I could teach the lit- tle ones -loving them so, a,icl nil. I - I'd sort of dreamed of it all my life," "It's too bad, Katie," the young voice was warm with sympathy but no less clecided, "but you'd, better give it up. It's•the only heave way." The judge lwe.it into the library and a moment later Sheila came in. "What kind of a clay did you have, Uncle Judge?" she asked gayly, Thejudge's fine face shadowed. "To -day," he said slowly, "a boy of seventeen was. brought up. The: charge was etealilig a few dollars' worth of stuff from a hardware Shap where he 'had been employed for a couple of weeks. He said he wanted to try to make something. I asked how long he had boon at school. It was only a few months now and thou. "'They all said I was stupid, and I reckon I was,' he said dully, "I, went ftu'ther bade. IID had had R. 0tepfatho' who was always 'pick- ing on' hint because lie was stupid, He bore no resentment; he accepted him- self at the valuation that others had placed upon him. Yet he waited to make sonothing. Sheila - The judge pulled her round so that he could look straight into the young face. "Sheila, child, listen to' this. The law cannot touch the greatest thieves of life, The man who stento a loaf for his hungry family is penishecl, but the man or woman who robs another of eonsage or hope or confidence --tile vera~ stuff of life iteeif-cannot be touched." "Why, i iiclel" Sheila gasped, "You mean Katie Dunne? But she couldn't tpacil l" "You took aivey a life dream, Did you give her anything in its place?" "But;' Sheila fait red "she's dull Uncle 'John,;, "But she loves -and love is the greatest miracle wo'keu in the world. Child, you've got to make up to Katie somehow. You've robbed her of hope and courage and her dream; now you must find out how to give them back to her. It is the court's decision," The judges warm smile tools the sting from the words. But Sheila did not see it; her face. were a look of mingled pain and resolution, It was one of Shelia's growing moments - and growing hurts, sometimes. CPoutrYa. In poultry raising the farmer has an advantage over others in the wide range. lie can give his fowls. The leen may be a machine, but few of us -ever learn how to run it right. Never hold (tick eggs long. They depreciate in quality more rapidly than hens' eggs. One nice thing about brooders is that you can put two in one house and they won't fight. Early chicks will not thrive in a cold, epee coop; it is an impossibility, so do not experiment any further with it. The second brood of goslings usually neon more care and more feed than the first ones, as the grass is apt to be so tough by the time' they are hatched Vint is is hard for them to bite it off. Goslings do not need feed until they are 24 to 36 home old, when they should be fed any of the machos re- commended few chielcene or ducklings, or a mash or dough of two-thirds shorts (middlings) and one-third corn- meal, which can be macre equal parts shorts and cornmeal, and five per cent. of beef scrap added after six weeks. A humid atmosphere in the egg chamber of the incubator is one of the first essentials to the hatching of strong, healthy chickens. After the breeding season is over, roosters are worse ,than a uselessens' cumbrance. They area positive in- jury to the quality of the eggs. Chicks should be left in ineubelors for 48 hours after hatching. You cannot: expect clean ego `rem 1111010011 nests; .and clean eg'ge hr;ng a premium, Clean drinking water and plenty of it is one of the prime essentials to SUCCESS in poultry.

There is hlu'dly one of the moral virtues which is not inculcated by gardening. We.,learn faith ea we plant the tiny seeds in the confidence that God .will give the increase; we learn that we must do our share when we water, prune and weed; we see the advantage of generosity ae We note that the more we cut the flowers the more richly they bloom; we 'learn patience and perseverance in working for a harvest that is worth while. 'nen, too, the study of the plants' growth teaches us the great secrets of' life, while the artistic sense is awak- ened and trained by observation of the lines, colors and forms of vegetation. Another advantage, of gardening is the sense of responsibility which it en- genders, together with the joy of achievement, for the child, fueling that even the tiniest bed is its very own to be tilled and planted and cherished, takes a special pride and pleasure, in the toil. That reminds up that grovtn- ups are pot playing fair when they let the little farmer fret and plan and work, and then calmly gather the re- sults of his' labor without even the courtesy of asking pe •mission, much less offering any than s or compensa- tion. E. R, S.: -The moral value of clean sport is admitted by every one who has had anything to do with training boys. There is no cleaner sport than tennis. It puts a player on his honor. Its etiquette requires that the oppon- ent should always have the benefit of the doubt. Fox: the boy you mention it would be especially valuable.

The best time to take a sweat- ing bath is before retiring at night. In such cases the bath should be fol- lowed by a neutral bath at 92 to 95 degrees F. for fifteen minutes. 2. It is not harmful to eat fruit a half hour before breakfast if one likes it that way.

To pasteurize milk for a child it is not necessary to boil it, but merely to heat it to t. tempera- ture of 142-145 degrees and keep it there for at Least thirty minutes. If the milk is pasteurized in a bottle or other container which has been placed in a kettle of water, heat the water to 145-148 degrees, so that the milk will be at 142 degrees at least. Boiling temperature is 220 degrees. 4. A p.:'son is most susceptible to colds when tired.

If this fails to cure have joint fired and blistered. As the heavy spring work comes on, the work teams should be fed and ear- ed for in the most careful way. To increase the efficiency of the farm team means dollars in the pocket of the farmer. The best way to feed for efficiency is to cut the hay, sprinkle it with wa- ter and mix the ground grain ration with it, This ration is to be fed in the morn- ing; at noon, feed whole grain; at night, give the cut hay and ground ra- tion, and a little long hay in the mang- ers for the horses to pick at if they want it. Tho hay canbe soakedfr'om one feed- ing to the next if desired. For old horses this is a good elan. Docking or cutting off the tails of horses is a cruelty that lasts through life. They can never, after this cruel operation, brush off the flies and mos- quitoes that make their life every sum- mer a torment. At Dominion Experiment Farms the cost of feeding colts rising one year old was found to average 10.6 cents per day, for colts coming two years old 9.33 cents., and for coming three -year-olds 6.08 cents, The total cost up to three years old was $71.96.

HIGH COST OF ARTILLERY. Cost for Army of a Million Men is More Than $120,000,000. Always a costly arm, field artillery is more so now than ever, due to the complicated engines it uses. The equip- ment alone, exclusive of men and horses, for the artillery of a corps in our army reaches a cost of more than 312,000,000, its visible supply of am- munition twice that amount. For an army of a million men the cost is more than $120,000,000; that of ammuni- tion, more titan $240,000,000. It need scarcely be said that such costly ma- chinery of war must be provided in trine of peace. -National Service Magazine.

By Henry G. Bell, Agronomist. There are two grave periods in the life of the potato crop from the disease control standpoint. This first is be- fore the crop is planted; the second is about the time the plants are mak- ing a good growth and extends up un- til maturity. Enormous losses are suffered by the potato growers, all of which are easily avoided by the ex- ercising, of a little care and time. It is so easy to treat all potato seeds that most men fail to do it properly be- cause the metho dDoles so simple. 1 p Potato scab, for instance, is very widely distributed. It may easily be controlled by using the formalin method or the corrosive sublimate treatment. Formalin may be pur- chased at any drug store and should be used at the rate of one pint of formalin to 30 gallons of water. Place the potatoes in a gunny sack and soak in the formalin solution for two hours, then spread the seed out on the floor to dry before cutting. All sacks, ma- chinery, baskets, knives and whatever else touches the seed should always be disinfected, However, I prefer the coeesive sub- limate treatment, as this not only con- trols scab but also controls the disease eominoltly called Rhizoctonia, which has become quite prevalent in many potato growing sections. This treat- ment is quite simple and inexpensive. l9ous' 01111008 of corrosive sublimate, which t canbep ally drug urchased at rue' stare110011(1 be digs lv' 9 0 Ed ]11 t•a t. gal- lons of hot water, after which though water should; he added to bring the mixture up to 80 gallons.

The latter treatment will absolutely control potato scab and Rhizoctotia I and costs so little that no one can af- ford not to dip the potatoes. Blight. Potatoes in many sections also suf- fer from both early and Late blight, which. frequently kills the vines and causes the tubers to rot. These (lis - eases very frequently cause heavy losses but they can be coltrolled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. it requires, however, that the spraying be started early. The first spraying should be done when the plants. are 6 to 8 inches high. Spraying,must be used as a precautionary or insurance pleasure. If it is not begun until after the blight has attacked the crop only partial control can be expected. In ]nixing up the Bordeaux mixture use four pounds of copper sulphate (blue vitro]) and foto' pounds of stone lime to 60 gallons of water. An mix- ing up the solution the copper sulphate should be dissolved in hot water and enough water added to make 25 gal- lons. In the same way the lime should be dissolved separately in g small quantity of water and enough added to make up 25 gallons. Thin diluted lime solution should be strain- ed through cheese cloth or a fine wire strainer after which the two solutions should be mixed together by pouring into .0 large barrel or tank the spray, For best results it ie a good idea to have a half barrel in which to mix the lime solutions and another for mixing the copper sulphate. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred or agitat- ed while being sprayed, The Bordeaux solution should be used as soon as made. It depreciates very rapidly when standing for any length of time. Great care should be used in applying the spray so as to thoroughly cover the leaves, both on top and on the under side. This may be accomplished by leaving a sprayer with three nozzles, one suspended over the top of the row and one on each side, spraying both the side and beneath the•leaves. The "Potato 'Bug" may be controlled by adding pound pound of Paris Green or 2 to 3 pounds of Arsenate of Lead to the Bo'deaex solution and both applied at the dune time. if you feel uilious, "headachy" and irritable - for that's a sign your liver i$ out of order.
