Improve H0mesteads

Improve H0mesteads
Keota community is fortunate not
only in the class of its native residents,
but in its foreign-born residents a.
well. A number Of German families
have homesteads in this section. All
are Industrious. and good farmers, and
some of them have exceptionally good
crops to show for their labor. After
planting time this spring many Of them
went to the beet fields in the irrigated
sections. where they found employment,
usually taking contracts for beet culti-
vation. Their earnings are spent very
largely for improvement Of their home
steads; and that they are no inconsider-
able item is shown by tho amounts
brought back by some Of the families.
David Shimp returned with $500; Alex
Rhone, $3.50; George Benner, $3.50; Fred
Krummer, $500; H. G. Wells, $500;

BUCKINGHAM WINS
Republican Caucus Controlled by
NeighbOrs from South

1t il very probable that the republi-
can caucus held in Keota schoolhouse
last Monday had a larger attendance
than any other caucus in Weld county
that evening. Altho the meeting was
announced for p. M, there were only
. few present at that time, 50 it was
nearer o'clock when the call to order
was made by Chairman ]. @. Williams.
The building was then well filled, and
before the balloting was closed. two
hours later, much of the standing room
was taken, and late arrivals were still
coming in. Notable features of the
meeting were the very large attendance
of women, and the good feeling that
prevailed thruout.
BY far the larger number of those
present came from the Buckingham
district, and it became evident very
early that they would control the cleo
ton of the ten delegates allowed this
precinct.
Melvin johnson was the only nominee
for secretary, and after his election,
nominations for delegates to the county
assembly we're made in the following
order:
j. @. Williams, A. A. Whipple,
George Boyer, David Schoonover. James
Amber, L. F. Patty, C. o. Dodder. c.
H. DeFord, A. L. Rupe. ]. A. Rumsey,
Herbert Dinsmoor, N. D. Wells. Lew
Silvis, C. w. Murphy, Chester Sides.
C. w. Bennett, Fred Trumbo, William
Bowles.
C. H. DeFord, C. o. Dodder and Lee
F. Patty were appointed as tellers. In
all, seventy-fve votes we're cast, the
count showing totals Of At to Sc for the
Buckingham nominees. and q to q for
the Keotans. Both factions united for
Lee Patty, and his election would have
been unanimous had he not been too re-
firing to vote for himself.
After the result was announced the
meeting developed into sort of love-
feast, with expressions Of admiration
for the organization which made it pos
sible for the folks from Buckingham to
bring such crowd to Keota. Chair
man Williams expressed the hope that
they would turn out in even greater
numbers for the election in November,
and gave the assurance that the Keota
republicans would exhibit greater in
terest at that time.
The following account of the caucus
is from the Buckingham correspondent
to the Raymer Enterprise:
1.-The ten delegates for the Republi-
can County Convention. that J. Q.
Williams Of Keota claimed he held in

hole in his pocket Monday night, when

CANNED FEED FOR CATTLE
Forage Crops Doubled in Feeding

merely great can that holds 6V, lUO
or, maybe, $50 tons Of canned green
feed. The farmer who IL building his
first silo will be in doubt many times
during the building and first filling IS to
what should be done. If he will re-
member that he il only building and fill
ling large can and that the principles
affecting the work are identical with
those that concern his wife when she
cans fruit he will usually be able to de-
eide what is the right thing to do.
The silo must be air, water and ver-
min tight on bottom and sides, and at
ter the green material has been put in,
it must be sealed alright just the same
as must fruit in . can.
The kind Of silo to build depends on
the pocket book. A farmer with not
over $25 to spare besides his labor can
dig round pit in the ground, plaster
the sides with cement, and make enough
additional money from the feed stored
in it to buy q more elaborate silo or
more cows.
A man can put up ensilage even If he
does not have dollar to spend outside
Of the labor of himself and team. In
1889, while connected with the Kansas
Experiment Station. took team to
knoll in the center Of q corn field and
with scraper made pit 80 feet long,
Is feet wide and about three feet deep.
The green cornstalks with the ears just
a. they grew in the field were carefully
piled into this excavation, alternating
butts and tassels, so that tho material
would pack close and leave a. few and
small air spaces a. possible. A heavy
two-horse roller was run repeatedly ov-
er the top of the green corn a. soon a.
filing was completed. Four inches Of
straw was put on for = covering and
this in turn was covered with 20 inches
Of soil. A ditch was run with plow so
that in case of rain or snow no water
would get in the silage.
This crude silo was opened in mid
winter and even the leaves on the stalks
had hardly changed color and the ker-
nels were milk white. For years put
up each year 600 tons Of silage in ex-
pensive silos where it kept perfectly,
but never saw better silage than that
made in that hole scooped out in that
corn field. The objection to such q silo
il that it has to be constructed every
year and it IL difficult to feed the silage
from it in stormy weather. or when the
ground is frozen deeply.
A round pit. IL to Is feet in diameter
and Is to 20 feet in depth. with smooth
perpendicular sides covered with coat
ing of cement, makes good silo and a
very cheap one. The earth taken out
Of the excavation should be dumped
close to the opening, making the top Of
the silo four to six feet higher than the
original surface Of the land, and the
dirt should be spread out in such way
az to prevent surface water from rum
ming into the silo. It is good plan to
make concrete rim three to four inch
es thick and extending from the top of
the silo to below frost line. A roof of
some kind should b put on the silo to
keep out snow and soil during dust
storms. Any man can make a cheap
hoist and tub out Of half an oil barrel
by means Of which the silage can be
hoisted out for feeding.

MANY LEAVE n()Al;
OVER THREE THOUSAND DIsAP.
PEAR II NEW YORK.
Hundreds Of Young Women Drop
From View, and a Majority Of
Them Never Retucn.

During the last year the New York
city police have been called to the aid
cf families from which some member
disappeared exactly $500 times, and
during this time approximately 1000
women, most of TEN young girls
ranging in age from Il to 20 years,
have utterly disappeared. This is not
ore-half the number Of persons that
actually disappear. Hesitancy on the
part Of relative causes them to fail
to call upon the public authorities.
Only one-third request that the cases
te made public.
During 1911" said one official,
we were confronted with hundreds
CT cases similar ir every degree to
that of Dorothy Arnold. Many other
ca ses proved as battling as hers. The
young girls left absolutely no trace
behind. They made no preparations
for departure, and few have since
been heard from. We succeeded in
locating hundreds Of women and
young girls who left their usual sur
roundings, but in every one of these
cases there was some clew on which
the detectives in tie Bureau OF Miss
ing Persons could work.
"The principal reason why girls
leave home, we have learns1, is be-
cause of a guiding hand that is too
severe. Parents should be more len
lent in their methods Of restraint.
''The next reason why the young
woman disappears IS because she sees
such abject poverty in her own home
ard such utter hope!essness j. she re-
mains there. She sees her mother
siaving and saving-an old woman
at 25-and she runs away to forget.
"a third reason is the glitter Of tae
stage, the alluremeat Of the gayety in
life and the development of the idea
that one must live for the present
and let the future care for itself.
"The fourth main reason-and
fourth in the lists the man in the
case. Sometimes be lures the girl
away and deserts her. She IS
ashamed to return. During the year
many women from homes o. refine
ment and from families where the
financial standing is very high have
disappeared as utterly as did Dorothy
Arnold.
