CEMENT SILO
IS A SUCCESS
Letter From An Iowa Man Who Has
Built One At A Cost Of $3.50.
The Silage Keeps.

Those farmers who heard the dis
cussion at the last Farmers institute
on the building of silo will be inter
ested in the following letter which was
received from G.. F. Groves, of Storm
Lake, Iowa, in answer to an inquiry
as to his experience with cement
block silo, 26 by so feet, built in 1910.
Storm Lake, Iowa, Feb. 8, 1911.
Henry Haag, Plymouth, Ind.
Dear SIR
/ have yours In regard to my ce-
ment silo. / made the blocks in May
and June of last year, and left them
in the barn until the middle of August
We then began putting up the silc-
The foundation is of cement, put
into ditch six feet deep and 30 inch
es wide at the bottom, Is inches on
top. The blocks were made about 8
to /. We used little lime In the
cement when we were laying them
up. The silo took 760 sacks of &C.
ment and four barrels of lime.
The labor, on the silo, making blocks
laying them up, putting on the roof
and aiute, cost 1913 and the silo
complete, 1889. As to the silage
keeping I will say it is keeping well
1t is keeping right up 10 the sides
You understand the silo is plastered
on the inside with almost pure cement
after the blocks are up. The silagt
is also we'll tramped when it is put in
| 1 think cement silo is all right but
it is big job building one. D. M
Jobs1ston and 10. Framis of thi.
place each have cement silos.
Yours,
G. F. Groves.

The cattle are grazing in the yard,

stands the little calf. I do not Sc.
the ever watehful farm dog, but per-
haps the cat, lounging on the cabin
porch, takes his plae here. Near
the cat on the floor ar. two heads of
cabbage and some carrots. On the
table are two cans, perhaps of to-
matoes, ready to be opened. We
wonder If they are not going to have
a boiled dinner, for every thing looks
ready for a fire under the caldron. :
We cannot tell what that cask con-
tains, who have come In that large
touring car, wish it contains cider.
A cap, cape and cane are on
and by the chair the canary sits on
his perch In his cage, which is sus-
pended from the ceiling of the porch.
The time must be fall for the cal
endar shows October 1910. The

in the cart, then after they row down
the canal In the canoe and explore

will return and the young people will

Of anti-suffrage arguments mark
ed a speech in the state house of

Agnes Riddle, one of the three

hours for such small pay that EN-

"And while the woman is work

"This condition is wrong. The
men should 60 to work and the
women stay at home and raise

A Few Things Every Ore Should
Know About the House Fy,

- Wv @04A6S .NS4 SSGO S4OO4O
Know About the House Fly.
There is nothing that speaks
for filth with greater certainty
than the presence of the house-fy.
There is no insect that carries as
much disease into the home, and
causes as much sorrow and un-
happiness, as the house-hy. Of
course every one knows the house.
fly, but we are afraid that but few
really appreciate that it is not
merely a harmless nuisance, but.
that it is one of the greatest men
aces to human life that exists.
A single fly is capable of carry
ing to your food several millions
Of disease producing germs. It
has bee demonstrated by scien-
tifc research that typhoid fever is
carried into the home by tie fly.
While it is true there is but little
typhoid fever in Hendersonville
at any time, yet we do not want
any of it. If we will see to it that
the fly is eliminated from the
home, We will do most towards
the Elimination of that preventable
disease. It has been demonstrat-
ed that more cases of typhoid
fever are caused by the house fly
injecting food and drink, than
from all other sources Of infection
known.
tuberculosis, measles, whooping
cough, and in fact practically
all of the infections and prevent
able diseases are carried into the
home by the house-fy. So, it is
necessary, in order that our peo-
pie may remain in good health,
that we exclude the house-fy from
our homes. 1t is not only an un-
desirable nuisance, but is a dis
tinct and certain menace to pub
lie health.
Screen your homes against it's
invation. And of even greater
Importance, screen your stables
and COW barns, as well as all toll
cts; for those places are the favor
tie breeding places of this great
enemy to mankind. Keep your
premises clean, and have no stag
nent water about your home, and
there will be less flies to exclude.
We owe this not only to our indi-
vidual selves, but we owe If to u
neighbors as well. We have no
more right to subject our neigh
bors to the dangers which come
from the house-fy, than we have
to give them a deadly drug.
