Tito Earl of Dysart, writing to the
London Times of a recent date, calls for
modification of tho strict rulo that governs
dress nt tho opera us well us in
most othor thentere In London. He
snys: "Owing to tho presont ridiculous
system of compulsory ovonlng dress,
which exists nowlicro 1po in thn world,
and also the uncertain delays between
thp acts nnd tho Impossibility of ascertaining
tho timo of finish, thousands are
practically provented from going to tho
oiwra nt nil, ns tho inconvenience of
such uoless restrictions to persons like
myself living out of London, but within
tho twelvo milo radius, ia obvious. At

"I venturo to suggest that art should
bo democratic, ns it is on tho Continent,
and 1 therefore feel suro you will ngrco
with mo in thinking that such rules aro
altogether out of plnco nt tho German
opera, which is, or ought to bo, resorted
to for the sako of art and not for fashion.
I apieal to those who think with mo in
this matter to use their iuilucnco to
nlolish theso dress restrictions. Sir
Augustus Harris has already dono something
in this direction, nnd would
doubtless do more woro it not for British
insular prejudice. In Germany tho
opera if u iopular institution owing to
tho fact that jveoplo can go without
ceremony. Lot us hopo that this will

Loudon, in addition to that well nigh
consummated monument of engineering
Fcienco opposite tho tower, is to have a
new bteel bridge nt an estimated cost of
A'tfSO.OOO. Tho existing structure which
spans tho Thames nt Vnuxhall, oncoso
famous for its royal gardens, is soon to
be 11 thing of tho past. It owes its
premature death it will lw but somo
years old when
tho inauspicious circumstances
under which it was erected.
When the foundations wero completed
for what wns nt first intended to bo a
stone bridge, tho builders decided to
construct tho remaining iortion of cast
iron, thus constituting Vnuxhall tho
first metropolitan bridge built of that
metal. Tho masonry piers were, however,
left, the original design of nino
narrow arches being therefore maintained.
It is to tho attrition engendered
by tho swirl of confined and condensed
waters under theso nino circumscribed
vaults that the old bridgoowes its doom.
Its foundations aro reported on tho
authority of divora to lie, if not exactly
tottering, at least in so bad 11 condition
that tho structure would in a comparatively
short tKiriod becomo absolutely
unsafe.
Tho projected now bridgo is of courso
to Iw much wider than its predecessor,
which measures only thirty-six feet between
parapets, compared with tho
eighty-five feet of tho broadest bridgo
in Europe, that elegant metallic framework
which unites tho Middlesex nnd
Surrey Bhores at Westminster. Iron.

A curious utilization of carrier pigeons
was recently attempted in Belgium,
This was making them carry contraband
goods into France. For n short
timo pigeons were lot off
regularly from tho Bolgian dovecote,
each burdened with a small coll of tobacco.
They arrived at the French destination
rather exhausted and doubtless
glad to bo relieved of their load. In
one case, however, unfortunately for
this bright scheme, a pigeon in making
tho flight and proving unequal to tho
effort, or perhups poUoned by tho narcotic,

Professor P. II. King furnishes to Tho

Hound silos may bo build of rrootl, stone,

Hound silos of any of tho materials named may

barn, nnd wlicro It Is practicable to do bo. the I
bottom should extend to the level of tho floor
upon which tlio stock is fed. Tho round silo
of wood may Ihj set upon a stone basement extending
eight or ten feet below tho surface of
tho ground ns readily and with tbo samo
as any other type. Indeed, I would
urgo tho general practlco of sinking tho bottom
of tho silo at least two, If not three, feet
below tbo bottom of tbo feeding stnblo, wherever
tho ground Isdry enough to prevent water
from draining Into It.
In Fig. 2 Is shown one method of laying and
locllug tho foundation wall whero It Is only
two or threo feet high. A Is a center ost with
Its top level with that of the proposed wall;
1111, boards nulled to stakes, their tops lovel
with that of the center post, and C Is n straight
fdgo which turns on a pin nt A. A simpler
method Is to drive down a stnko llko n fork
hnmllo nt tho center nnd then bore through a
board 11 liolo largo enough to slip costly over
the stake: then, on cutting this board to tbo
length of tbo radius of tho silo wnll, It can bo
turned about In determining tho iosItlon of
the outer edgo of tho latter. When tho wall Is
once sturtcd It can bo laid up with tho plumb
or level llko any other. In bringing It to a
level h long strnlgbtedgo may bo used, reaching
from tbo center to tbo wall, or it may bo
luld Uion the wull directly, stretching from
point to jiolnt llko tho chord of a circle. The
top of tho wrll lusldo should be leveled so ns
nearly to meet the lining of the blructuro
above, ns show n In Fig. -.
Show lug t'.io construction of all wood round

Siding for silos under thirty feet outside diameter,
common siding rabbeted; for silos

common dropsldlng or shlplap may bo used.

covered with wire cloth to keep out vermin.
There should ben lino of feeding doors from
top to Uittom, each two to threo feet by five
feet and about two to five feet apart.
Tho sills nnd plates are most simply mad
by cutting 2-Inch lumber, of tbo samo width
as tho studding, into sections of from two to
four feet long, nccordlng to tho diameter of
the silo, saw iug on tbo bevel determined by
tho direction of tho radius of tho circle; thoo
for tho sills are bedded In mortar and
together, and those for tbo plates spiked
down upon the top of tho studding.
Where tho idlodoes not exceed thirty feet
In diameter 2 by i studding gives ample
strength, nnd in no caso U it necessary to use
studding larger than 2 by C The use of
tho studding Is to hold tho lining and siding In
place and to support tho roof. In tho round
silo tho strain from the ensilago is sustained
by tho lining nnd siding, each courso acting as
a hoop. Tho distance between tho studding in
silos less than thirty feet in diameter should
be ono foot. In those over thirty feet tho studding
may bo sixteen inches apart. After tho
sills aro placed tho studding should be
to them Just as In a balloon frame, and
each stud plumbed and stayed with a board
sailed to a post set in tho center of tho silo.
After plumbing nnd staying tho studding In
this direction. It may be stayed in an opposite
ono by springing H-inch boards around and
tacking them to the studding.
Tho lining should bo of lumber, and
may bo obtained by splitting fencing in two
or by a special order at tho mills. Two
with u layer of good tar paper between,
are required, nnd the two layers of boards
should break joints. Kxperienco may show it
bcyt to tiso threo lucrs of J-inch lumber with
two layers of tar paper between to securo perfect
ensilago next tho wall, but tho additional
layer may be added at any time.
The siding tuny consist of two layers with
paper betw een w hero tbo temperature, of winter
demands tbem. When tho circle is less
llinn thirty feet lumber should bo
ucd, ami the siding must be rabbeted to llo as
shlplap docs. Common houso siding, rabbeted,
nnsuiTB every purpose, and Is made to order
by some mills. Where tho circle exceeds thirty
feet in diameter drop siding may be used, that
Cif the shlplap t j pu bclug most easily put on.
Tbo nailing lnsido and out should bo thorough
nnd in eery stud, because tho boards
act as hoops nnd tbo leugthwUo strain comes
upon tho nulls; for this reason nlso tho boards
should bo made to break joints on the studding.
For tho Inside lining, it Is better toubO
nails for tho last thickness so as to
draw tho hij era tightly together, and in nailing
tho lining bo careful not to miss the studding,
as every nail hole thus formed will admit
a largo amount of air.
FIO. II CONSTRUCTION.
In putting on tho siding and tho lining also,
after tho first course of boards is in place, tbo
next should bo started ono stud back of whero
tbo first was begun, so that the ends of two
corners shall not meet on tho samo stud.
This should be rigidly observed to securo tho
greatest strength and to keep the circle truo
at all times. When these precautions aro observed,
it is unnecessary to stay the tops of
theBtuddingheforo beginning to put on tho
siding, which should go on before the lining.
The method of ventilating between tho studding
is shown in Fig. 2. Threo ?4-inch augur
holes or a single ono may bo made
through the bottom board between each pair
of studs and covered on the inside with wire
netting to keep out vermin At the top, inside,
the lining lacks lHi to 2 Inches of reaching tho
plate, nnd the interspace provides means for a
current of dry air entering below from tho
outsldo to escape through tho veutlhUor in the
roof. Tbo openings at the bottom outside may
be provided with sliding lids held in place by
a single screw, if experience proves that thej
need bo closed during very severe weather.
O
RANGE CATTLE TROUBLES.
Unngcs In Montana and Wyoming Are
OxerrroiTdcd.
Tho area of tho ranges is becoming
moro nnd more restricted every year.
Not only is tho area leing gradually lessened,
but the grasd upon the ranges is
being moro aud more eaten and trodden
out, so that the ranges will not support
ns many cattle per ncro as they did in
yecrs paBt.
Even whn t'.io rr.ina aro copioun tho
grass never as liitnrious ns it
was twenty years ngo, anil the reason is
that tho grass hus been overpasturvd so
continuously that It has hnd no opportunity
to recover Us old cxnborance.
Under presont conditions this bad
stato of nftnirs must continue. Tho
owners of cnttlo are permitted to use
any part of tho public domain for pasture.
One man has as mnch right to
pasture tht) public domain ns another.
If ono cattle owner has occupied a certain
district of country for pasturage
any other cattlo owner can drivo his
cattle on tho samo ground. Tho mutual
understanding and forlwnranco of cattlo
owners has alono prevented serious difficulties
between them. Tho differences
between Abraham and Lot show thnt
like troubles must occur whero any pasture
is overcrowded.
Tho ranges of Montana nnd Wyoming
are now overcrowded. There is more
danger to the cattlo interests from overcrowding
thnn from stealing. As tho
country settles up this danger must increase.
Tho question naturally arises, Is there
no way of preventing tho overcrowding
of tho ranges? If all our lands could be
occupied by small fanners and Btock
growers in nnother generation tho wholo
matter would bo practically sottled.
But there must always remain largo
bodies of land which can bo put to no
practical uso except for pasturago. Tho
question is therefore a vital ono nnd
must U3 solved.
As the ranges become more circumscribed
nnd tho grass under the present
system of pasturago poorer nnd poorer,
conflicts must ariso between cattlo owners.
These owners will not be able to
agreo to disagree, as did Abraham and
Lot. Tho law must step in nnd mako
tome regulations to preserve the peace
between cattlo owners and property in
cattle, unless n valuablo interest is permitted
to Iw destroyed. Tho best plan,
it seems to us. is for the state governments
to be given control of tho ranges
nnd tho officers of tho respective counties,
with proper supervision, bo required
to mako such divisions in tho
range ns tho face of tho countrv will
permit, leasing tho right of pasture in
such divisions ns they muy choose to
mako for n term of years, nnd using tho
money so obtaiued to polico tbo several
counties so ns to prevent any trespassing
or injury to stock growing. At any rato
things cannot go on as they aro now.
Already owners of largo numbers of cattle
are preparing to go out of tho business,
for they foresee disaster if it is to
bo continued as now conducted. Montana

Aljnost ns great a showns a circus

In tho largo cities of tho eastern markets
tho latter part of this summer
sound horses fivo to eight jears old,
well broken and in good condition, liavo
brought prices as follows: Heavy drafters,
weighing 1,500 to 1,700 pounds, $150
to $250; express horses, $150 to $223;
"chuuks and streeters," weighing 1,050
to 1,230 pounds, $90 to $133. Good
drivers always sell well at prices higher
than thoso quoted. Poor horses well,
nobody wants poor horses at any price
if ho can get anything else.
On frosty mornings remember to keep
your stock oil rape pasture till tho sun
dries it, so as to avoid bloat. When tho
cattlo and bheep aro very hungry keep J
them off tho rape till thoy have had o
bito of something else. Eatiug too
greedily of rape is injurious. Let them
have all tho salt they want on rape pasture,
but they need no grain.
llnngo horses wholly unbroken sell
better in the markets than thoso half
broken.
Many peoplo nllow tho chickens to
