Cement Block silo.

SO, wish to build one Of cement
blocks. How large should I build to
accommodate twenty-five head OF
cows?"
In any locality where corn fodder is
the heaviest yielder of coarse fodder,
we do not hesitate to recommend the
silo. We think it pays; yes, know II
pays, and would not think of keeping
COWS anywhere within the corn belt
of the Mississippi valley without silo.
We feel safe in saying that if our cor
respondent will write given number
of dairymen that are using modern
silos, at least nine tenths of them will
be as positive as we in testifying to
their merits.
| In figuring silo capacity for a given
number of cows, calculate upon having
one cubic foot for each COW for every
day of the entire feeding season
Hence, for twenty-five cows 1t would
take a silo about 10 feet in diameter
and 26 feet deep. This will provide
for the waste Of space that will come
from it's settling and give some to feed
to the other stock, which they will
relish very much during the winter.

1t now develops that Julian Rich
ards story about dissatisfaction among
the Allison leaders was true to detail
and that the actual management of
the Allison campaign has been taken
over by LATE Young and Major La
cey. The first evidence of it was the
ridiculous protest against electors-at-
large blunder which has few equals
in the political history of our state.
AS an indicator of the disgust which
such senseless factionalism has
aroused even in the Reservation and
among standpatters, may be read the
Clarinda Herald, a strongly edited
standpat paper, which says:
while the Capital and certain other
republican papers of the state are
claanoring for harmony in the party,
it is very apparent that there is no
possibility for harmony except on q
basis that exactly suits them. One of
the most foolish and unreasonable
fights in the campaign is the one now
opened up on Mr.. Copeland of Bur
lington and Mr.. Packard of Marshall
town, who came out for candidates for
electors The Capital was
willing to let Packard be candidate
on condition that Mr.. Copeland should
withdraw. The only ground for fight
on Copeland is the fact that he is fav-
orable to the candidacy of Governor
Cummins. 1t seems remarkable that
such a short sighted policy should be
adopted to carry the fight as far as
indicated in this opposition to Cope
land. The result will be that Copeland
will be elected by strong majority
because people are not disposed to
give much heed to men who are call
ing for harmony while they are all
the time hunting trouble and SO mani
testify one-sided in their harmony

WRITING SCHOOL ESSAYS.

At about this time of year the girls
and bows of our high schools begin to
rack their brains for a subject for an
ESSAY. 1t will worry them for several
weeks, they will poster their parents
about it until finally the flight OF time
toward the day on which all essays are
to. be handed in compels a resort to
"T,he Destiny of Man," or 1.-THE Sphere
of Woman and again stale jokes
about school day essays will have been
indicated.
All this worry and fretting over the
selection of one subject to write about
and the preparation of 1000 to LOU
words, which would fill only one COL
umn TO a column and a half of news
paper space, looks ridiculous TO the
rawsnaner man who must select from
twelve to twenty subjects every day
about which to write from lOO TO 2oo
words each in his short paragraphs,
besides three to half dozen subjects
upon which he prepares 1000 TO 5'ooo
words OF text, and finds time to dis
cuss matters from thirty minutes to
an hour each with a dozen callers VINO
visit the office during the day. To the
man who prepares 1000 words of orig
inal essay every working day, this
worry over a school essay looks like
wasted energy, and yet any newspaper
man can look back only a few years
20 his own school days, to the same
worry and fretting over the school es-

IT has often seemed since that the

BRYAN MIGHT WIN AND LOSE.

Brvan's pre-campaign declaration
concerning his attitude toward the
presidential nomination has been
shelved, along with the issues OF
1896. Bryan declared some time ago
that he was not an active candidate
for party leadership, but would accept
the nomination if the party called MN.
HI, Immediately entered into an active
campaign which has developed into a
scramble and a fight.
Mr.. Bryan as yet has no cinch on the
altho his chances have improved dur
ing the past week. He is conceded
the Illinois delegation selected in the
Springfield convention today, and
Henry Watterson has declared for
him. He is yet nine votes short OF the
two thirds necessary to land the NOM
nation, after giving him all the states
where he has a fighting chance. The
number of delegates already instruct
| ed for Bryan is given at l63, not count
ing those of Illinois. He is conceded
500 probable delegates in addition to
these. including Illinois Thus he is
within nine votes Of the nomination.
While there is strong tide of an
IT, BRYAN sentiment within his owr
party, he has been the man mos
feared by the republicans. His an
nounced belief in many Roosevelt pol
icies would win him votes from any
but a candidate of the Roosevelt
stripe. Political developments nov
indicate that Bryan will be the noml
nee, and for the third time Will lea'

Preventing Potato seab.
Potato scab is a fungus disease, and
anything that will kill the spores on
the seed will prevent it unless the
ground is infected with scab, In which
case no amount of treatment OF the
seed will do much, if any, good
Before planting soak the seed 1or
one and one-half hours in formal
dehyde solution composed of l pound
of 40 per cent formaldehyde to 80 gal
Ions of water. and then plant the SEED
in clean ground, and there will be no
potato scab. It is easily and cheaply
done, and is cock sure. NO man can
afford to jeopardiZe his potato crop
with experimentation when he has at
hand a preventive as sure and as
cheap as this, and neither can he az
ford to run the risk of getting the
scab in the soil, for after the soil Is
| once inoculated the diseased condi-
tion will last for years. and the land
is unfit for potato culture. Fifty cents
worth of formaldehyde and a little
time will insure the average potato
grower against loss from scab. and
when insurance can be had as cheaply
| as this no man can afford to use
methods that are uncertain, or to run
| still greater risk by not treating
at all.
| In this connection it is very well tic
keep in mind that ground becomes
infected by having scabby potatoes
planted upon it. and that when once
infected that particular land is unfit
for potatoes for years, no one as vel
can say just how long. 1t therefore
behooves one to prevent infection by
! treating all seed. In some potato
raising sections they had to go out OF
the business as the ground became sc
foul with disease that potato raising
with profit was impossible, and nov
that their land is saturated it will be
years before they can safely resort
to the raising Of potatoes again.

Navel nm,


Nearly every year complaints are
received later in the spring about the
loss of colts from peculiar disease.
In describing this disease the writers
state that the colt acted as tho it had
been stepped on, became swelled at
the joints, and grew weaker and weak
er until it finally died. AS q matter OF
fact this is disease which can be
quite easily handled if the cause was
generally known and handled in time.
In about 50 cases out of 100 of this
kind the colt is lost from blood pois-
oning caused by an infection of the
navel Previous to birth the entire
nourishment of the colt enters thru
the navel and at birth this portion is
tender and easily affected. If the least
amount of dirt or poisonous matter is
allowed to come in contact with this
navel, infection is almost certain to
occur and death in many cases follows
after the symptoms as noted above
This can be easily prevented by lit
tie care at foaling time. AS soon as
the colt is born the navel should be
severed within an inch or so of the
body and the exposed portion care
fully washed with some mild disinfec-
tant. A per cent solution of car
bolic acid or mild solution of any OF
the coal tar dips is sufficient for this
