The Gurer, or plastercd silo, con
corning which the University of Mis-
souri, has recently Published a circu
lar, is one of the best that can be
built 1t is built much like frame
house, except that it is round. The
inside is lathed and plastered.
Some Of the strong points in favor
of this silo, according to Mr.. H. E..
McNutt of the dairy department, are:
1t can be built entirely from ordi-
nary lumber. 1t requires no highly
skilled labor for it's construction. It
preserves the silage as we'll as any
other type of silo in use. It is strong
and durable when properly made.
The silo shown in the illustration
is OF the Gurler type. and is on
farm near Columbia, Mo.
The best proportions for silo are:
Height about twice the inside diam
eter. 1t is better to have two small
silos than one that is too large. The
best size is so that layer of few
inches level across the top may be
fed off each day.
Every Sllo OF this type should be
firmly anchored with several strong
guy wires or cables. They may be
attached to the studding about half
way up to the top and fastened to |
sleepers buried several feet in the
ground about four or five feet out |
from the base.
The corn which is to be put into
the silo should not be cut too early.
The nature of the corn plant is to
store up almost the entire food SUD.
ply which is to make the stalk and
grain, before the ears are formed.
However, until the ears are formed.
this food is in the form of sugars
and other soluble materials. For use
as dry fodder, this makes excellent
feed If cured at this stage. But if
put into the silo, green or immature
corn will turn sour much more readily +
on account of the change of the sug.
ars into acid. Sometimes the silage
will become too sour for good results
in feeding.
The time when the plant has the
largest amount of food stored I'D,
and will make the best silage, is at
the end of the roasting ear stage.
when the kernels are beginning to
glaze. This silage will, if properly.
put up in tight silo, keep sweet
md palatable.

HOW TO SECURE SATISFACTION
IN QUANTITY AND QUALITY,
San Be Done by Farmer with Com.
mon Materials and Little
Skilled Labor.

One of the best forms of silo is
known as the Gurler or plastered
sllo. It Is built of common lumber
framed up much like a house. 1t
has studding Of two-by-four lined in
side with half inch sheeting. Metal
lath OF ordinary wood lath is nailed
on the inside of the sheeting, and
this is plastered just like the wall Of
house.
Mr.. H. E. McNatt of the dairy de-
partment of the college of agricul-
ture, has written a circular describ.
ing and giving complete directions
for constructing this type of silo. He
says that the chief advantage of it
are (1) 1t can be built entirely from
ordinary lumber; (2) it requires no
highly skilled labor; (3) preserves the
silage as we'll as any type of silo
in use; a. when properly made it is
strong and durable.
In some parts of the state where
stone and gravel are abundant. it is
perhaps more desirable to build a silo
of concrete. This silo IL very dur.
able, and probably will prove the
cheapest in the long run. Details of
its construction and directions for
building it are given in a circular by
F. H. Demaree, acting agronomist of
the Missouri experiment station.
Both Of the circulars will be sent
free upon application to F. B. Mum.

THIS is CERTAIN
The Proof That Butler Readers Cannot
DENY,

What could furnish stronger evil
dence Of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time? Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had derived
from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They now confirm their testimonials.
They say time has completed the test.
Mrs. E. j. Tyler, 5O7 Harrison St.,
Butler, Mo-, says: 81 used Doan's
Kidney Pills and found them to be
splendid remedy for kidney trouble.
| suffered from lumbago and my back
was Stiff and painful. Ialso had spells
OF dizziness and could not sleep well.
Finally my husband procured Doan's
Kidney Pills for me at Frank CLAWS
Drug Store and after had used them
a short time felt better in every
way
The above statement was given in
March 1906 and on Nov. 30, 1903,
Mrs. Tyler said: ''The cure Doan's

BUSH is PLEASED
WITH M. p. SYSTEM
Four Months President Thinks Lines
Are Fast Getting Into Shane.

/ rOuT MOHtns FfeSldent Thinks Line,
| Are Fast Getting Into Shape.
New York, Aug. 2S.-B. F. Bush,
president of the Missouri Pacific, who
has been in the East for few DAYS
on a business trip, will leave for st.
Louis tomorrow night
Mr.. Bush spent nearly all of the
four months since his election to the
presidency on the lines of the Mis-
souri, Pacific System, which now ag-
gregate about 1000 miles. Rapid
progress is being made in carrying
out the improvements authorized by
the directors, shortly after Mr. Bush
assumed the duties of his office.
A large amount of work has been
done on the roadbed, while the cars
and locomotives are being put in first
class condition to handle the fall and
winter traffic.
While admitting that there is some
hesitancy on the part of business in
terests in the Southwest, Mr.. Bush is
not inclined to take pessimistic view
of the situation.
tie says the Missouri Pacific is get
ting large volume of traffic on all
its lines, showing that business is not
by any means so spotty and unsatis-
Factory as has been reported through
various channels.
Mr. Bush has received the estimat-
cd gross earnings of the Missouri Pa
,lfic System for the second and third
weeks of August, and says that the
'eturns were very satisfactory.

The corn binder is getting more at
tention than ever this'season. Many
new machines are being bought and
early calls for repairs for old ones
show that the owners do not wish to
be caught mapping. Corn is still king

Ole Olson, proprietor Of the lodg
ing house, reported to Officer Kear-
