ONCE IS ENOUGH TO BBILD A SILO All, in all, -we believe that so much has been said, done and proved about silos that practically every progressive fanner is planning to put up a silo or has one up now. There isn't a thing in the world that should delay the farmer who has no silo. There is nothing more important—nothing means so much to you in actual cash yearly profits, increased money-making possibilities and increased realty valflfe of the land itself. It will even pay you, if absolutely necessary, to borrow the money—just to get the silo up. How the Ideal Silo is Made In the manufacture of the Ideal Silo no expense has been spared in the way of machinery and materials. Our special machines used exclusively for the manufacture of the staves, permit of no inaccuracies whatsoever. The fundamental principle of the silo is that it must be absolutely air-tight. You will, therefore, appreciate that the staves must be accurately made dressed on both sides, tongued and grooved and beveled to conform to the circle of the silo. When silos are of such length that it is necessary to use staves in two lengths, we use the self-draining beveled joint and spline. TIE RODS So much depends on the tie rods or hoops that no silo maker can afford to skimp on them. We make the tie rods and hooj)s of three quarter inch round iron, close grained, with machine cut threads. Tie rods should not be less than three quarters of an inch in diameter because they are under considerable strain, and if less than three quarters of an inch thev are apt to stretch in their length thus allowing the staves of the silo to becoftie loose, permitting moisture to ooze out and air to enter —perhaps spoiling an entire silo full of silage. Our tie rods are made in three lengths,, that is. there are three self-adjusting, automatic take-ups in each of the tie rods around the silo. 1 ... HINGE DOORS The doors of the Ideal Silo are fitted with special malleable iroD galvanized hinges, one near the top and one near the bottom of the door. These hinges permit the door swinging inwardly entirely out of the way, out of the weather, and in position to close instantly when desired. FOR SALE BY J. W. FAYLOR,

I>eafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by 'constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the ( mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound oj imperfect hearing, jand when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot he cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHE.VEY & CO., Toledo, O.

MAKING IMPROVED NEST-BOX Weight of Hen Causes Platform to Tilt, Thereby Closing DoorSize Bhould Vary. The size of the nest should vary ascording to the breed, writes Fred L. Bailey in the Farm and Fireside. For the Asiatic breeds it should be not less than 3% feet long, 15 Inches wide and 20 inches deep.. 1 The hen enters the nest by walking in on the platform. Her weight causes the platform to tilt, which, by means of the lever attached, closes the door. When the

I . ; hen leaves the nest, she goes for the light which comes in at the slat door. Her .weight on the front end of the platform causes the door to open, and it stays open until she finds food and water and is ready to go back on the nest. The box is best with no floor, so the nest can be made directly on the ground. Explanation: A, platform, 1% feet long by which hen enters nest.

THOUGHTS OF SPRING FEEDS

Birds Should Have Variety, Especially Great Deal Reasonably Rich In Protein—Lime Is Needed. Apoplexy among fowls is generally confined to the overfat birds and gen erally the heavier breeds are subject to it. It is, therefore, necessary that the keeper does not feed any great quantity of fat-forming feeds to his birds, especially to the heavier breeds. In the spring of the year more than any other time of the year the birds should have a variety of feeds, and especially a great deal of feed reasonably rich in protein should be included in the ration. Soft-shelled eggs are usually produced In considerable numbers at this time of the year. The reason for this generally lies in the fact that the birds do not get the proper feed. To form an egg shell the proper materials must be present, and if they are not present the soft-shelled egg is the result. Lime Is one of the necessary materials needed in the formation of an egg shell, and at this time of the year, when the hens are beginning to lay, a liberal amount of lime should be present at all times where they cab partake of it when they desire. In providing any kind of feed whether it be vegetable or animal feed, be sure that it is pure and wholesome. Musty grains and rotten meats will cause sickness many times when the flock is in perfect health.

Guineas as Watchers.

A good point about guineas is that they make a good “watch dog.” Every person who writes of these fowls mentions this point, but a good thing will bear repeating, in common with wild birds, they are always on the lookout for enemies, and quickly detect hawks, dogs, strange persons, etc., that venture near. Their wild cries on such occasions soon put the intruders to rout, and also put all the fowls on the place on their guard. If hawkß are numerous a few guineas in the flock will prove es great help In preventing their depredations.

Laying in Winter.

Almost every hen running at large lays in the spring and lays well, if the poultryman can provide these conditions through winter, his hens will lay then the same as they do naturally In the spring.

Geese Pay Well.

No kind of poultry keeping can be carried on at so smhll an expense for buildings and equipment as that of raising geese, because of the hardiness of the birds, and their desire to remain in the open air.
