What is known as the stave silo is usual-
ly made of pieces of two by four lum-
ber, set up on end, just as the staves of
a barrel are put together and bound
around with hoops that can be drawn
together. It is usual to have these
staves twelve to sixteen feet in length,
and often two are plaeed upon end so
that the structure is from thirty to
thirty-two feet high. The diameter of
the silo will vary, for reasonsgiven lat-
er, with the number of stock that it. is
desired to feed. After the silo is erected
it is filled with such material as green
corn, sorghum, knflir, mi!o. or almost
any green feed which is chopped into
lengths, varying fr-.rn one-half to three-
quarters of an inch and packed firmly
into the silo. When first placed in the
ailo the material undergoes quite a heat-
ing and some souring. This heat, how-
ever, expels the air that is held between
the particles of material, and that the
same time goes so high that it kills all
germ life. .As in the meantime the
material has packed down very closely,
no new air or germs can enter; so the
material soon cools off' and remains un-
changed for an indefinite period. This
first heating has done two things. It
has generated a small amount of acetic
acid, a substance that aids digestion
and has also acted upon many of the

There is a saying that “rapid eating
is slow suicide.*’ If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you arc
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result even-
tually in serious illness unless corrected.
Digestion begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated and
insalivated. Then when you have a ful-
lness of the stomach or feel dull and
stupid after eating, take one of Cham-
berlain’s Tablets. Many servere cases
of stomach trouble constipation have
been cured by the dose of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most agree-
able in effect. Sold by all dealers. Adv

I Remember, I Remember.
I remember, I remember
How my childhood fleeted by—
The mirth of its December,
And the warmth ot its July;
On my brow, love, on my brow, love,
There are no signs of care:
But my pleasures are not now, love,
VV'hat childhood’s pleasures were.
Then the bowers, then the bowers,
Were blithe us blithe could he;
And all their radiant flowers
Were coronals for me;
Gems tonight, love—gems tonight, love,
Are gleaming in m.v hair;
But they are not half so bright, love.
As childhood’s roses were.
I was singing —I was singing
And my songs were idle words;
But from my heart was springing
Wild music like a bird’s;
Now I sing, love—now I sing, love,
A fine Italian air—
Hut it’s not so glad thing, love.
As childhood’s ballads were!
1 was merry —I was merry,
When my little lovers came,
With a lily, or a cherry,
Or a new invented game;
Now I’ve you, love—now I’ve you, love,
To kneel before me there;
But you know you’re not so true, Iqve,
As childhood’s lovers wejg.'
