always been 49, and it is safe to as
sumo that they always will until the
creator sees fit to change his method
of watering the earth Therefore,
wen-made silage in a good silo is
JUST as staple as old wheat in the
mill. There will be a waste of sew
eral inShes on the surface, Just as
there is waste Of several inches on the
surface of the hay stack or shock Of
corn fodder; but a man can afford
that waste, il he. has the assurance
that his COWS will not fail in their
milk or his cattle lose fesn even if
there should be little or no rain for
thirty or sixty days. When you put
up a silo for summer use, you are
going into perfectly safe PROPOSE
tIon, provided, or course, you Dulld lC
right, and fill it properly"
It is well to remember that less 81
lage will naturally be fed in summer
than in winter and in order to keep
the. surface in fairly good condition
at least three inches of silage should
be taken off daily, where two inches
will suffice in the winter. 1t will be
found advisable therefore in building
the summer silo to keep the diameter
proportionately smaller. 1t is not pos
sible now to get silage to tide you
over the dry pasture season, but now
is the time to get your silo for next
winter and summer. Don't delay or
you may not be able to get one at

ORE DEPOSITS NEAR SURFACE
Nine Mines Out of Ten Are Poorer
in Second Thousand Feet Than in
First-Third Is Worse.


Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, be-
low the reach Of miners, but experts
aver than there is little or no ground
to believe that valuable metallic de-
posits lie very deep in the earths
crust Such deposits, it is said, are
made by underground waters, and ow-
ing to the pressure on the rocks at
great depths the waters are confined
to a shell near the surface. With few
exceptions ore deposits become stoo
lean to repay working below 5000
feet. Nine mines in ten, taking the
world as whole, are poorer in the
second thousand feet than in the first
thousand, and poorer yet in the third
thousand than in the second

Duncan Arizonian., 1912-01-10

The dry pastures and burned-up
hillsides following the drouth Of 1910
made very strong impression as to
the Importance Of having good sum
mer feeding. 1t was an eloquent
though severe plea for the summer
silo and led to some splendid tes-
timony in it's favor. The drouth "cut
down the milk flow in most of the
herds nearly so per cent, says a. writ
@er in an exchange. Not one farmer
in a hundred had provided for this
emergency by a good supply of sue
culent food that would make. milk
1t is the same old story over again
this year. 1t seems to take a tre-
.nendous lot of pounding on the part
of Providence, to get it into farmers
heads that simmer silo is a grand
thing, The Hoard.s. Dairyman herd
OF cows had fifty tons or more Of nice
corn silage to turn to when feed grew
short and they rolled out the milk
nicely right along Besides, they will
keep at it. There is nothing like a
supply of silage for summer use. It
is close by and handy to the stable
for use, when you want it. And fur
t ermore it will produce more milk
than any other kind of soiling feed"
This is the experience of all expe-
rimenters, who find that silage holds
milk flow during drouth even better
than soiling. 1t, is reasonable that
It should

editorial in Wallace's Farmer, while
referring particularly to the lesson of

orce this season wherever pastures
are used Or cattle. are fed. 1t is
worth publishing again and l quote
the following from it:
The question we are constantly
asked is, will silaga keep through the
summer?' We are glad to be able to
give a direct answer to this, not the
oretically but from personal expert
ence. We built silo on one Of the
Wallace farms and filed it in 1908,
too large. During the winter Of 1905
90 the silage was not all used. Last
fall we put in new silage on top of
the old, and during the winter used
out OF the new si1age, leaving the
unused remainder in the bottom. We
are now feeding that silage, and the
man in charge an experienced dairy
man, tells us that after the waste on
oop was removed. this two-year-old
silagetfs as good as any he ever used;
that the cattle eat it as readily as
anything and eat more of it than
tHeg did during the winter

uses suninler silage If silage will

The latest type Of silencer for use

Maxim, says the Popular Mechanics.
These objections were based on the
added weight, and the necessity of
