THE TUB SILO.
It Does Good Work and Is Becoming
More Popular Every Season.
The farmers who are using the tub
lilos are in every case, so far as I can
learn, well pleased with them. They
ran be built at half the expense of the
square or rectangular silo, and they
commend themselves in every way to
the small farmer and dairyman. They
can be constructed of 2 by 6 scantling,
but they should be beveled, not grooved
TUB SILO UNDEK A SHED.
or tongued, writes a correspondent of
Rural New Yorker and authority for
the following:
The reason for beveling is this: If
put up otherwise, they come in contact
only at the interior edge. Should there
be a knothole or an irregularity in the
scantling, or should it by shrinking be
come slightly warped there, it would
be almost impossible to make it air
tight. Have the scantling beveled at
the mill. Tell the sawyer what sized
silo you purpose to build, and he will
bevel thorn so that they will exactly fit.
The additional expense will be less than
that of attempting to stop up the cracks
with rags. We do not desire to stop all
shrinking and swelling. When filled,
we wish the silo to swell some to aid in
making tighter joints, and then, when
empty, we want it to shrink so that
moisture cannot .collect between the
staves and rot them out. The coating of
coal tar on the inside, applied after the
hoops are drawn up tight, is entirely
sufficient.
Hot tar is very penetrating and will
find its way into every crevice, thor
oughly excluding the air. Whether it
will last longei -o* he more effective
than when thinned with B**°°line I
L cannot state. There can now be pur
chased in the market tar paint ready
for application. In onr experience with
this the man who was painting the in
terior was twice overcome by the nox
ious gases and was compelled to leave
the silo. Gas tar may be purchased very
cheaply and when heated slightly
makes a very efficient paint.
Trinidad asphalt may be purchased for
about $3 a band. This, if used alone,
is so brittle upon becoming hard that it
soon cracks and is worthless. Mixed in
the proportion of nine parts Trinidad
asphalt to one part of gas tar, and heat
ed, it makes a valuable application for
roofs, stable iloors or silo.
Acidity of Soils.
After several years’ work at the
Rhode Island station it has been decided
that the acidity of upland soils is prob
ably due to the removal of crops and the
use of certain fertilizers that exhaust
the lime and other basic ingredients of
the soil, leaving more of the acid than
would be the case were nature allowed
to take her course. An acid condition of
the soil therefore results. Some plants
thrive best under such condition, but
clover, timothy and beets are injured on
such soils. A dangerous degree of acid
ity appears to exist in upland and nat
urally well drained soils and is not con
fined to muck and peat swamps and
very wet lands, as most American and
many other, writers seem to assume.
The remedy seems to be a generous
application of air slaked lime. The
amount applied varies from 500 to 2,000
pounds per acre, to he broadcasted and
harrowed in.

structed in this way, the gate will not
sag, but Will swing freely if the post to
Which it is attached is firmly set in the
ground.
Cucumbers For Pickles.
Cucumbers for pickles may follow a
crop of early peas. It is best to delay
planting until the peas are harvested.
Then plow and plant 5 by 6 feet with
rotted manure in the hill. There is a
right way to plant the seed that all do:
not know, so The Farm Journal tells, j
about it: Make the hills low, scrape off'
the surface soil until you reach moist j
earth, deposit the seed, press it down!
firmly with the foot and cover with'
about an inch of moist earth and press
this gently with the hoe. Good seed so'
planted will germinate quiokly.

Iti it a Factory for Morristown?
William E. Collis, who has been a
well known and influential resident of
Chester for many years, and who recent
ly became a memher of the Huntington
Shirt Company of Plainfield, informed a
representative of the Chronicle on
Tuesday that he was arranging to move
the plant to Newark, owing to the im
possibility of securing a sufiicient num
ber of girls in Plainfield to run the ma
chines. Mr. Collis says he has a ready
sale for the product of a mill employing
at the present time at least one hundred
and fifty operators. With Newark as
the center of operations, the company
propose establishing smaller factories in
other places. We understand the Board
of Trade will consult with the concern
with a view to the establishment of a
branch factory here.
itosentha! in America.
Rosenthal, the giant among modern
pianist, has most successfully inauguar
ated his second American tour. At his
first concert in Carnegie Music Hall
Nov. 10, 1896, the enthusiasm of the
tremendously large audience was un
bounded. Over and over again the great
artist was called out and vociforously
cheered, and after the last piece—the
Hungarian Fantasia—the vast audience
did not move until he played several en
cores. Beyond a doubt, Rosenthal will
this season be the lion of the day. He
has made wonderful strides since his last
visit here. His bewildering technique,
his broad, beautiful and sensuous tone
and his subtle conceptions are the won
der of the present lime. He will reap
pear in New York in four piano recitals,
in Carnegie Music Hall. November 17th,
29th, 23rd and 27th.
Speakers for State C. K, Convention.
The 11th State C. E. Convention, to be
held at Paterson, October, 6-8, promises
among its prominent speakers, from out
side of the State, the following: Rev. F.
E. Clark, D. D., Boston; Rev. Maltbie
D. Babcock. D. D., Baltimore; Rev.
Wayland Hoyt, D. D., Philadelphia;
Rev. W. J. Harsha, D. D., New York;
Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, I). D., Phila
delphia; and Rev. W. G. Puddefoot,
South Framingham Massachusetts. The
entertainment of the delegates will be
almost wholly in private families. It is
necessary that the Entertainment Com
mittee, Mrs. Louis Fox, 665 East 23rd
street, chairman, should be notified
as soon as possible. New Jersey
has about 1,075 societies, including
Young People’s and Juniors, with a
total membership of 57,500.
Stop My Paper.
After you get angry and stop your
paper, just poke your finger into water,
pull it out and look at the hole. Then
you will know how sadly you are missed.
A man who thinks a paper cannot thrive
without his support ought to go off and
stay awhile. When he comes back, half
his friends will not know ho has gone
and the other half will- not care, while
the world at large kept no account of his
movements. You will find things you
cannot endure in every paper. The
“Book of Books,’’ is often very plain and
hits some hard raps, but if you were to
get mad and burn your Bible, the hun
dreds of presses would still go on print
ing it. So when you stop your paper and
call the editor names, the paper will still
be published, and what is more, you will
read it on the sly.—Cycle.

'Phis Company has been organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of New
Jersey. It has equipped and sent, Jerre B. Salmon and Louis Cary to the Klondyke to prospect
for gold and other minerals and to buy such claims and interest in claims as promise to return
abundant profits. The men selected are experienced gold miners, honest, sober and energetic.
Both have had considerable experience in placer and quartz mining. Mr. Cary lias spent, t hree
years in the gold mines of our Western Stares and i»esides being a civil engiueer of note, is an
assayer of no mean merit. Both are men of strong physique and well calculated to stand the
rigors of a northern climate. The scheme is not only to locate mining claims after a thorough
prospecting tour, but. to purchase claims or interest in claims that are already located, the
owners of which have insufficient, means to develon them.
The expenses of the expedition will be light. 11 is confidently expected that in the rush for
gold no expedition from the east will be better, equipped or stand a lietter chance of success
than this one.
A few shares of the capital stock are for sale at $5.00 each. They are full paid and un
assessable. All remil lances should be made to E. A. Quayle, Treasurer, Morristown, N. J..
who will acknowledge the receipt of same and forward the proper stock certificate.
