Exchange

We have one of the best quarter
sections of land in Sully county,
South Dakota to exchange for an 80
or 100 here. Every acre of this land
is perfect, fenced and cross fenced,
about one-half under cultivation,
light improvements, small grove,
come fruit trees, 212 miles to town,
8 miles to County Seat. This ia az
fine quarter as there is in the state
and will make an ideal home. Will
take Iowa land at it's value and are
willing to take what this land is &C
tually worth namely $3.50 per acre.
This land will stand the very clos
est inspection. If this suits you, act
quickly. Audubon County Journal.

An Iowa correspondent writes:
I'VE are looking up the Iowa silo
and its advantages over the wood silo.
How do you compare them? And if
you were to buy wood, what kind of
wood and make? Also what cutter do
you think is the best?
What do you think of putting
large water tank on top of silo; size,
say is by SO. Do you think the clay
block or the Iowa silo is strong
enough to stand the pressure of
tank eight or ten feet deep? If you
can give me some light on this mat
ter, 1T would be favor"
Reply by agricultural engineering
department, Iowa state college:
The Iowa silo and medium grade
stave silo such as cypress OF Oregon
FIR are quite similar in price, depend
Ing somewhat upon local conditions.
In many cases the Iowa silo has been
even cheaper than yellow plse stare
silos. While stave silos are good pre-
servers of silage the Iowa silo is fully
their equivalent. In regard to amount
OF care necessary and permanence
against wind and general agencies of
decay the Iowa silo well built of hard
blocks is far superior.
As to choosing among kinds of
wood, bulletin 100, which was pub
lished after carefully examining hun
dreds of silos in Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin and Michigan. rates California
redwood first; then cypress, Oregon
mr., tamaraek. white pine and yellow
pine. The quality of white pine avail
able at present puts 1t low on the list
and yellow pine decays more rapidly
than any Of the other kinds men
toned
There is little or no difference in
the liability Of different kinds of wood
to blow down. The best cure for this
trouble is the liberal use of guy wires
anchored we'll out from the silo.
The various makes of stave silos
are so similar that kinds of lumber,
guarantee and early delivery and
price are much more important than
Kind OF door frame. Steel door frames
are not eaten up by the acid and on
the other hand wood door frames are
also very good.
We have not done enough compar-
ing of cutters to know much about
them. There are, however, several
kinds on the market giving good salts.

Though water tanks on top of ma

We followed Colonel Alger to a
small piece Of ground near by, while
awaiting the result of the battle, over
two miles distant, in our rear, still
going on. Very soon we observed a
long column of Confederate cavalry
moving directly toward US on the
main road. They were the chief por-
ton of the cavalry which had passed
our front and who left their train
early. The sound of battle in their
rear caused them to return to join
the fighting part of their force. We,
remained mounted, facing them, and
when the head of their column was on
posite us they halted and the COM,
handing officer shouted to us: What,
cavalry Is this?" No answer was
given. The question was repeated, but,
no answer was made. Theirs was al
large body Of cavalry and we were I'M

ton was called for third time. I'M,
mediately one of our men shouted. :,
"Hampton's legion" The reply was,
"All right; why in didn't you saw
30 before?" Then they passed on.
I have always wondered why they
did not discover our identity by our
uniforms, when we were SO near them

heavy nor low, but have always sur
missed that 1t must have been suffi-,

three main provisions to this bill.

2. After Sept. 1. 1915. these sub

fitted and the schools ready for it.
Iowa is behind many of the neigh
boring states in the matter of fitting
the boys and girls for their future
work. Most of them must work for
living, and anything that will en-
able them to do that work more in
diligently will be of great benefit to
the state.
If teachers can be prepared to teach
allegation, cube root, Latin and Greek
in the schools, they can surely be pre-
pared to teach the elements of agri-
culture and domestic science. The
gradual introduction of these subjects
as provided in the bill can not help
but be of real value and lasting
success.

A RARE TEN-DOLLAR PIECE.

All KINDS OF $40 pieces are rare
these days, but Gus Nye has one
that is supposed to be worth much
more than its face value or its in
trinsic value. 1t is a piece coined
in 1S49 and his no mint mark on
it. Some years ago a piece like
this sold in Leeds, England, for
$2,275, and an article published re-
garding it stated that there were
only two such pieces of money in
the world, The coinage of these
gold pieces in 1S49 was suspended
thereafter and all coins called in by
Uncle Sam. but there were two of
these half eagles that were not
recoyered-the one sold in England
and possibly, the one owned by Mr..
Nye. Gus found his piece of money
some years ago on a desert road
between Lovelock and the nickel
mine south of that place.-Y ering-
