Ea WOODEN HOOPED | 'STAVE SILOS A practical farmer communicating with the Farm and Ranch concerning the stave silos says: This silo consists of the requisite number of staves to make the desired size, bound together, similar to a mammoth tank or cistern, with Iron hoops, which can be loosen- ed or tightened as desired. Silos of this type made by different manufac turers differ from one another mainly in the style of door frame and door or the fastening for the same. on which there may be a patent. There is no patent, however, on the stave silo, and any one Is at liberty to erect one if he desires to do so. Any of the various manufacturers wihil sell the door frame, doors and hoops separately if desired, and the staves can be purchased from a local lomber dealer, If possible it is best to have the staves six inches wide and tongued and grooved. If it is im- possible to get these made up in this way 2 by 4 can be used if they are jointed ou both edges, but they should not be beveled, as the inside edges will close more tightly if left square. Where 2 by ¢ are used a 40d spike should be driven through each stave into the one mext to it every four or five feet to keep them in position {should the hoops loosen during the dry weather of summer when the #llo is empty. A shallow hole shomfd be bored where each nail is drfren to countersink the head. These silos should be placed on a circular wall the same 88 the other type of silos mentioned above. For a silo of this ¢haracter fourteen feet in diameter 4nd thirty feet high, with a capacity to hold ninety tons, the following bill of materials Is sug- gested by the United States depart- | {ment of agriculture: Foundation. -- Three and three 'fourths cubic yards crushed stone or 'gravel, two cubic yards of sand, four and one-fourth barrels portland ce ment. Silo Staves.--One hundred and thir ty-three pieces 2 by 4, sixteen feet; 133 pieces 2 by 4, fourteen feet. Hard ware.-- Bight rods three-fourth inch, eleven feet six inches long; eight rods five-eighth inch, eleven feet six inches long; twenty rods one- half inch, eleven feet six inches long; eighteen malleable lugs, fifty pounds 40d spikes, sixty-four bolts three- BTAVE SILOS. eighths by four, 133 pieces galvanized steel two inches wide, four by ove fourth long. Roof.--Twenty two pleces 1 by 12, ten feet long; four pieces 2 by 4, ten feet Jong; one center pole eight inches in diameter, four feet long. The pieces of galvanized steel are provided to fasten the ends of the 2 by 4 inch staves together, a slit be- ing sawed din the end of each. The iron rods should be threaded for about eight inches on each end and loose fitting wvputs provided These rods make the bands or hoops with which to compress {he staves together. The twelve Inch boards for the roof | should be spilt dlagonally, leaving the pointed end pot over one-balf an Inch in width. Erect the center pole be- tween the four rafters, making a one- third pitch, and build the roof fo the form of a cone, resting the narrow end of the hoard against the center pole. Mrke a plate ou the inside of the top of the staves by bending argand the foside two thicknesses of One-half by six boards and palling them firmly to each stave. Anchor the sllo to the ground by putting three eye bolts through this plate and running four strands of No 9 galvanized wire from them to a solid stick or rock burled in the ground pot over three feet distant from the foundation. Use the¢ee of these anchor cables. Paralysis In Swine. Paralysis in swine most often fol- Jows overfeeding of rich pitrograeus focds to animals that are clogely eon fined. Digs do best when allowed a considerable range and pot fed too highly. As this affection involves the spinal cord, it is not only Mable to prove fatal, but is not. as a rule, ratis- factorily treated. First remove the cause. Cut down feed and allow plen- ty of range, and if not fed too liberally they will forage about and get exer- cise. Young pigs only partially para- lyzed will often come right treated ss above advised. Old animals will fiot . often respond to any form of treat- "ment.

Hven tapeworms can be got rid of by them, the seed containing a special element which is fatal to them. Sheep Destroy Weeds. One great value of sheep on the sprouts and reduce the crop of weeds. It will almost pay a farmer to keep a small flock of sheep siinply to keep down underbrush vegetation, Silage a Valuable Food. Biiage is fed to sheep on many farms. When well preserved it is rel ished by animals and affords a valua- ble succulent food. From three to four pounds per head daily is about as much as experienced sheepmen care to feed. Fed in larger quantities or if too acid It is liable to cause serious indigestion. Rape For Feed. The time will soon come on the ma- jority of well managed farms main- taining sheep when the flock will be turned from the regular pastures to rape fields or patches. The flock own- er who has never before given his sheep access to rape need not feel alarmed over the prospect of the change, for, as in the handling of ali kinda of farm stock, if common sense be exercised good results can safely be expected. An Improvement Over Nature. It should be remembered that the sheep is in a sense an artificial ani- mal. If Nature were allowed her way it Is doubtful If the sheep would grow as brary a fleece as it does now, but by our methods of breeding and im- proving we have increased the length of tbe fiber and at the same time mide a fleece more dense and com- pact These facts should be taken to consideration by the flock owner who would at all times manage his duck to tbe best advantage, Ottawa, Nov. 2.--The Government has about dscided to extend its finan- cial grant toward beautifying Ottawa. For the past ten years the Govern- ment has been giving $60,000 a year, which has heen spent by a combined Ottawa and Dominion Government Improvement Commission to great ad vantage. The Government now un d-rtakes to give a $100,000 a year to be devoted to tha beautification of Canada's capital.

Give the dairy utemsils a good sun bath each day. The stingy feeder cheats himself as well as the cow. Oilmeal is good for the cows. will prove a pay ration. Insufficient feed and poor shelter will ruin the most promising heifer. Fresh, clean water is important with every animal on the farm in the sum- mer time, but above all others with the COWS. A sour feed pail has wrought havoc among the calves on the farm. The time spent in scalding the pails is well spent. Pasture the cows at night and keep in the barn during the heat of the day. Needless to say the barn should be screened. Garget, or congested udder, can be generally relieved by bot applications and vigorous rubbing and kneading of the affected part. As compared with the old pan meth- od of ralsing cream, the separator is as far abead of the old method as the | thrasher Is ahead of the old flail meth- od of thrashing grain. No trees in the pasture? Then make shade for the cows by putting up some posts and throwing over them a thatched roof. It is a shame to keep cows under the hot rays of the sun all day. I'he ticks on cattle can be got rid of by going over the animals with a sponge moistened in crude petroleum. Go over again in about two. weeks, when the eggs have hatched a new brood.

Then mix in the otber in- | gredients and shake thoroughly. Be- | fore applying wash the parts well with strong soapsuds, taking care to wasb off the hair and rub the remedy in for fifteen minutes every other day. For spavin rub the same time every day. Feeding Hopper For Horse. A practical farmer with a mechan- ical turn sass: If your horse has the habit of bolting his feed you cap rem- edy it by making a self feeder on his feed box, The accompanying drawing shows how a feeder may be made similar to a poultry feed hopper. The contrivance may be made of inch boards large enough to hold one feed. SELF FEEDER FOR HORSE. The horse can get the grain only In small quantities and so cannot eat it more rapidly than Le should, The bottom must be made with enough slant to insure the feed coming out in the trough.
