There are a few things that we
should bear in mind in building a
silo. says an enthusiastic advocate
of silos First, as to location, it
should be conveniently located so
that the silage may de dropped di-
rectly in front of the cows or at the
manger, or, if a cart is used in feed
ing, where the silaee may be secur-
ed without going out doors for it.
Next, if possible, | would have the
silo extend at least five or six feet
into the ground below the feeding
floor. especially if summer feeding
is to be done. No matter what style
of silo | built, or what material /
used, l believe l would always have
a continuous opening from the top
to the feeding floor. Colman's Ru-

MADE FALSE STATEMENTS
To PROCURE MONEY

John ID. Kissee, who has been about
Canon City for a couple of months or
more. was arrested at the instance Of
Lafe Combs and II. II. Freye about S
o'clock Wednesday night and locked
up on the charge OF mortgaging prop
erty that did not belong to him and
for procuring money under false pre-
lenses. On the twenty-fifth of last
month Kissee obtained loan of sixty
five dollars from the compiainants On
a chattel mortgage given on a three
year-old mare. which was at the time
in the pasture OF John Childs on Col
lege avenue. Kissee represented him
self to be n man OF considerable
wealth and said that. among other
property. he owned eighty-six head Z
horses in the San Luis valley.
It came to the knowledge of Combs
and Freye on Wednesday that the
mare on which the mortgage hal
been given belonged to General Mai
pin and that GIssee had never at any
time bad a shadow of title to her. He
had seen he- running at large in the
pasture and conceived the idea II
securing some easy money by giving
time. however. that he had purchased
the animal from L. NJ. Brown. but that
proved to be a fiction Kissee will.
probably. be given a trial at the pres
ent term OF the district court.
