CUPID AT COURT. ~
_
Youn Cupid strung his bow one day And sallied out for sport.
As country hearts were easy prey, Odds darts, he went to court.
Of all that wore the puff and patch, Pelinda led the fair.
With falbala and fan to match, I trow she made him stare.
“Oho!” he cried and quickly drew His bow upon the sly.
But, though he pierced her bosom throngh, She never breathed a sigh.
This was a turn beyond 4 coubt That filled him with amaze,
And so he sought his mo her out With tear bewildered gaze. You silly boy!"" Dame Venus seid. did vou waste your art?
Go clip your curls and hide your head= Beiinda has no herrt!”’ --Samuel Mintura Peck.
Mrs. Peter Browse apd Her Brown Dress.
—_———_
Irs. Peter Brown was «a worthy and
| thrifty housewife, and though proud of her
Brown family she got tired of browns—we refer to brown colors.
Now, Mrs. Brown had a brown cash- mere dress that she had donned on Sundays for fully three years. Going to church io sun, rain, sleet and snow for such a length of time had discolored and faded Mrs. Brown’s brown dress. The material still gooi gave Mrs. Brown hope that the brown {resa mild he changed in color aed made to do service until times better and money more plentiful with her.
Mrs. Peter Brown had _ heard of the marvellous Diamond Fast Black for Wool, and decided to experiment in the work of home dyeing. The dye was purchased from her druggist, and the operation con- ducted as per directions on the envelope, and what a traneformation resulted! A deep, rich pure black, equal to the finest blacks produced by French professional dyers—a new dress at a coet of about thirty cents.
Mrs. Peter Brown’s experience is just the experience of thousands of economizing vomen in Can- adatoday. The find the Diamond Dyes so indispensible that home would be robbed of half its pleasures if they cauld not procure these great money-savers.

MODEL ROUND SILO.
ee ——
Ornamental, Solid, Commodious and Rat and Water Proof.
Mr. C. W. Jennings describes in Hoard’s Dairyman a model silo in north- ern New York. We make extracts as follows:
It was built in 1894. It cost, together with its connecting link with the barn,
8210. Its capacity is 200 tous. Its di- mensions inside are 22 feet diameter,
with height from top of the sill to top of the plate of 29 feet. The material is of the best, but the cost was somewhat lessened by my being enabled to pur- chase the lamber at wholesale rates, my father being the proprietor of a large sawmill and lumber yard here. But I will say here that a silo just as good as mine can be built anywhere in this county and yours for $1.50 per ton Capacity, and it may beior somewhat less.
We had a rectangular siloof 160 tons capacity in the barn, which we used for several years, but owing tothe large percentage of waste silage in the cor- ners and at the sides caused by the bulging of the walls and the need of the room it occupied for our growing herd we decided to take it out and build one outside the barn.
The bottom is kettle shaped. ground inclines to the northwest. simply took enough out of the south- east and south sides and threw it on the northwest side to perfect the form of the bottom. It is about three feet lower in the center than at the rim where the sills rest.
For the foundation we dug a trench 2 feet deep, which we filled with small stoner mixed with grouting.” On this we laid our wall, 2 feet wide at the bottom and 18 inches at the top, and in height about 1 foot above the surface of the ground. The soil is hard and dry, so that not much precaution was neces- The foundation of the bottom consists of a layer, about 6 inches thick, of small cobblestones mixed with grouting, over which isa coating 144 inches thick of cement. The bottom is rat and waterproof, while not at all expensive.
The sills are of two thicknesses of two inch spruce plank, cut out to fit the circular wall, laid one upon the other so as to break joints. They are eight inches wide and are anchored to the foundation wall by bolts 15 inches long by three-fourths cf au inch in diameter. These bolts have their lower ends

‘*tnrned up’’ to prevent their becoming lcosened. They were placed at proper intervals avd the wall built up and around them. .When the sills were put on, the who!e was made perfectly level. The studding is of 2 by 6 spruce, placed 16 inches apart, all being of the same width by being passed through a planer, so that each piece is exactly 6 inches wide. There are two stories. The first one was set up and boarded, then a cir- cular plate 2 inches thick put on, upon which the second story was set, the studding being the same distance apart and of the same size as in the lower story. The first sheathing is made of spruce boards, half an inch thick by 6 inches wide, surfaced and matched. This is covered with tarred paper, over which is another thickness of boards of the same width and thickness as the first one, so laid as to break joints. Itis
then covered with good cedar shingles /
18 inches long, laid five inches to the weather and painted with a heavy cout of iron ore paint, mixed with raw lin- seed oil. The lining consists, first, of a thickness of boards, same as on the out- side, each board having been jointed and matched and brought to the same thickness. A layer of tarred paper was then put on, over which is the inner lining, made of the same material as the other. Thus I have four thicknesses of half inch lumber, two of tarred pa- per and two dead air chambers.
The roof is conical with a dormer window on the north side, as seen in the picture, for the admission of the en- silage carrier. The rafters are 2 by 4, and the diameter of the circle at the top is two feet. Between the rafters are headers, or girders, brought even with the rafter’s surface, to which the roof boards are nailed, each board being ripped cornerways or diagonally, the ends being reversed every time a board is put on. The rafters are spiked to the lower plate, also to the upper one or small circle. There is a projection, as seen in the picture, to form the cornice or finish of the rcof, which is shingled, the whole being surmounted by a gal- yanized iron ventilator, covered with a

cap and 1n Which 18 4 VaTra or damper, to be closed in severe cold weather. The connection with the barn is 8 feet Jong and the same in width and is well lighted. There is also a door open- ing outward on the west side. The door to the silo extends continuously from the sill to the plate and is 24% feet wide. It ovens directly into the entrance or connecting link and is directly opposite the feeding alley in the stables. There are three-fourths inch iron rods that intervals of two feet, passing through the studding on
each sido of the door and held i» place by puts, while the door consists entirely of separate spruce boards 114 inches thick by 8 inches: wide, matched. A pro- jection of an inch of the lining on one side of the doorway, into which one end of the boards are thrust, with the pressure of the silage against them holds them in place. But one board is removed at a time, thus exposing much less silage to the air than when regular short doors nre set at intervals. The inside of the silo is painted with a coat of gas tar thinned with gasoline. Another coat
| will be put on before again filling the
silo. So finished, the silo is as airtight as a beer barrel, and when one is inside and strikes a blow on the ceiling the sound is very much like that produced by striking the inside cf a large cask.
The loss in silage is so small as not to be worth mentioning. It was less than 2 per cent last season. That was all there was of it, while the silo was filled above the plate. Loss of silage is po factor and ‘‘cuts no ice’’ in the cal- culation.
We have not expended a cent for re- pairs, but Ishall give the inside another coat of gas tar and gasoline sometime during the summer.
‘*How do you feed the silage?’’ asked the correspondent.
Enough is thrown through the silo door into the entrance for a feeding 12 hours in advance and the doors shut. In this way all odors are eliminated from the st»bles. We feed not far from 80 pounds per cow per day. We do not run it in on a car, because our cows do not face in the stalls. I do not like that way, 80 we curry the silage in baskets. Some of the larger cows and the bulls We feed besides silage, which is given twice a day, about 8 pounds of mixed, early cut hav, mestly clover and timothy, with some red top.
‘*What is your grain ration?’
When the cows are in full flow, from 6 to 8 pounds, the formula being ground oats in which was mixed about 15 per cent of the barley when sown. This was raised on the farm. Of this grain, 100 pounds are mixed with 100 of wheat bran and 50 of cottonseed meal. This in two feeds—night and morning. This amount makes just about one day’s rations. To put it more closely, it may be said the cows reeeive from 38 to 10 pounds each per day, owing to the stage of lactation and individual capacity of the cow.
We filled the silo last fall with Leam- ing corn, grown on I4 acres. We opened it Nov. 1 and fed the last May 20. About 635 head, old and young, cows, heifers and bulls, were fed from it. I nn a firm believer in catering to capac- ity, 2ppetite, digestion and assimilation aud feed my cows accordingly, watch- ing the wiile the results very closely.
The grain ration is sprinkled on the silage and fed immediately after milk- ing—never before, and as we use saw- dust for bedding and land plaster in the gutters there is no chance to con- taminate the milk with odors. What hay they will eat is fed at 10 o’clock and will, as a rule, all be eaten by noon each day.
One cow in this gentleman’s herd has a record of 472 pounds of butter in a year.

His book reads like “ The Arabian Nights” BUT Joseph Ladue KNOWS whereof he writes. He was the first man on the spot when the first gold was discovere ! last Augut 1896 He lceated one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve others at a low price before their value was known. He hag refused $100,000 for any ONE of these claims, as they aye rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice | Joseph Ladue then

at the mouth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by erect the first house in the region in September, one month after the gold was first discovered. He bought 178 «.cres fiom the covernment on the city site where his town lots, 15050, me now selling for $9,000 each.
Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in big trading post investments te have on hand ample capical toca out his ylans, and there is no man living who is better posted on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr, Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large | portion of his boyhood and eurly manhood, Mr. Ladue left bis home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in goid mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the entire country since 1882. Mr. Ladueis a typical pioneer ; strong, hardy ana resoiure—a man of iron

and come out with a constitution unbrvken and uni prired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue bas not oity worked h's muscies to good advantage to himself with the resultof an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of | men, but he has evidently all his time been c'o-ely observi ‘the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley— | which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is fovussed.
Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount oi gold coull be taken in so short a time from a country like that under the most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredibie. But when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured olb upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the
time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder ; grew day by day as the real facts were disc'osed, and now ‘people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half lthe truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the ! Yukon Valle
y.
Aa we have already said, there is no man alive to-day who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. Whar makes his talk of it specially interesting and reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. It has not been gained from hearx»y nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the yeat, but from steady living there throuzh the long summer days and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, where he: now owns the best mining claims on the Klondyke aud its tributavies.
