Il May Be Constructed at the Least
Cost In the South.
II you have no silo, now is the proper
time to begin the building Of one. 1t
Is the cheapest barn farmer can build
and will give a better return on the
money invested In it than any other
outlay on a farm where cattle are kept
In excess of five or six head, The cost
of silo is less in the south per ton
of capacity than anywhere else, be-
cause here there Is no need to so build
It as to exclude frost.
Tub or Tank.
A simple tub slo made Of inch boards
will keep silage in the south quite as
effectuaIly as concrete or frame silo
will farther north, All that is needed
is to make a practically alright tub
or tank. The great thing TO be particu-
lar about is to get all the depth posi-
Bile consistent with convenient han
ding of the silage, as the deeper the
silo the better the silage will pack and
the closer it packs the better the silage.
The Estimated Size.
The following table will enable any
one to calculate the size Of silo he will
need for his crop and stock.

ly where the ground is so wet that
they are kept constantly saturated with
water, will last for years. Farmers
living In the districts where timber is
cheap will find that such drains will
answer the purpose very well without
much expense. Such drains have been
known to last twenty or twenty-five
years, at which time they seemed to

To make wooden drains 1t usually re-

Story County Young Farmer
Has Great Luck at
Chicago Show

Jefferson Ia, Oct. 25.-Ray
Bennett, residing near Ames in
Story county, made an extra
ordinary winning at the Chica-
go corn exposition, capturing a
Texas farm and numerous other
prizes.
Bennett, who is a young man,
has had previous experience as
a corn exhibitor, having not
long since captured the Whit
ney trophy at Ames, valued at
$3.50, for the best ten acres of
corn in any variety. The ears
which won the Whitney trophy
were not those exhibited in
Chicago, however.
Although he thought his crop
of corn not up to the standard
this year, Bennett found ten
ears which he determined to
take to Chicago. After the
judges had completed their
work these ten ears had tags on
them, which showed that he
had won a pair of S. shoes,
$3.50 worth of milk cans,
a surface cultivator worth
S25, a gold watch worth $25, a
feed grinder valued at $12O,
and a 160-acre farm in Texas.
valued at $4,000, and tied an
other man for a prize piano in
another class. Their winnings
alone amounted to nearly
$1,000.

Hon. George L. Loomis, of
Fremont, Nebraska, is the Dem
ocratic candidate for Justice of
the Supreme Court of Nebras-
ka. The platform upon which
Judge Loomis is standing, and
which he emphatically and UNI
reservedly indorses contains the
following plank relative to or
ganized labor:
"We favor the eight hour day.
We are opposed to government
by in injunction, the system under
which the writ of injunction is
used to deny to laboring men
the protection of trial by jury.
Believing that the writ of in
junction has been prastituted
from its original purpose until
it is now, to all intents and pur-
poses, a weapon in the hands of
capltalistic combines for the
terrorizlng and e%nslavement of
organized workman, we pledge
our best efforts for the enact
ment of a law that will safe
guard the rights of the wage
Garner by providing for trial by
jury in all cases of contempt
not arising in open court"
