Build a SilO.

D. Glen Deaver, emigration expert
Of the Burlington route, has addressed
a strong appeal to the farmers Of the
country 10 build s:los, and by ending
waste add substantially to the profit
from their corn crop. Mr.. Deaver is
recognized as one Of the greatest agri-
cultural authorities in the country, and
his counsel is invariably based on ex-
perience and observation covering a
vide latitude. Here is the counsel to
the farmers:
Think Of it. Sane, sensible men
by the hundreds and by the thousands
are working hard almost the year
round, raising and caring Tor highly
valuable rop--and then deliberately
wasting from 80 10 40 prr cent Of the
gross results OF their Labor.
It's the corn crop.
And at that they're making a good,
solid bunch Of profits.
It's hard to believe, but it S true.
There is no other business on the
face OF the earth that will give a profit
after wasting 80 TO 40 per cent Of the
possible income-but corn raising will.
The whole trouble is that a large
percentage Of farmers either won't or
don't build silos. They aren't cutting
the corn alter the season and storing
it away as rich fodder to increase their
incomes the year round,
lust for instance: One acre Of good
corn land will produce twelve tons OF
corn silage. This same twelve tons
with hay will feed two milk COWS for
ten months. II properly cared for
otherwise these COWS will bring their
owner anywhere from $l50to 500 from
the sale Of cream alone during the ten
months, to say nothing of the two
calves that can be raised nor consid
ering the value Of the skim milk foi
pig and chicken feed. And it might
be said right here that no other 6usi-
ness will return such quick and hand
some profits as feeding skinned milk
to pigs and chickens.
This same twelve tons OF rich corn
silage with hay will put 2,400 pounds
weight on fifty lambs IN l2S days,
which at 7 cents per pound, would be
worth S168.
Feeding it to four steers l53 days,
fitting them to top the market, would
easily increase their market value $40.
"All waste from the feed lot should
be carefully returned to the acre that
grew the corn, thus preventing loss o.
fertility.
These are some Of the things thai
can be done TO stop one OF the biggest
wastes on the farm. When you STOP
to consider that the entire twelve ton:
OF silage can be put in the sio at q
cost Of only SIS you get an idea Of what
a tremendous saving it means. Ter
acres Of corn silage would accomplish
ten times as much"
There are innumerable other ways
and methods OF getting more none y
out OF farm; but considering the
huge saving accomplished by Silo, a
splendid slogan for the farmers Of to.
day would be:

GREAT MONEY MAX
ING PROPOSITION.

Capt. James T. Smith, the mining
writer Of Denver, who visited Gilpin
county last week, writes very enter
tainingly of the increased production
of 1911 and the splendid outlook for
heavier tonnage this year While
here, Mr.. Smith visited the From
tenac and Iron City mills and of
these propositions has the following
to say:
For April alone the Frontenac
group of mines, managed by Henry
P. Lowe, shipped 1000 tons of raw
or smelling ore, worth $3.50 to the
ton. The company's mill at Black
Hawk shipped 1,156 tons of concen-
trates-four tons into one-worth
: close to $40 per ton, in gold, silver,
/ copper and lead. In the Iron City
mill-attached to the Frontenac-
where custom ores are handled, the
zinc contents are also saved, appli-
ances for this purpose having been
installed last winter. The Iron City
plant will be doubled in capacity at
once. Another story will be added
J to carry additional tables. An inde-
pendent custom mill is also project
ed. 1t will start with unit of fifty
tons each day and gradually increase
in size as the ore supply developes.
I I'm the Frontenac mill it is now
+ feasible to treat s5-per-ton sulphide
ores at profit. The milling cost is
73 to 75 cents, the cost of mining and
tram haul bringing the expenses up
to $3.50 per ton. AS 80 per cent Of
! the values are saved, the result is
q profit of s1.67 on s. ore. a result
never before obtained in this coun-
ty. The mill will handle this month
/ 5000 tons of ore, as it is now work
ing two eight-hour shifts and oper-
ating as smooth as clockwork. The
Frontenac mill creates no bullion. The
first, or course, concentrate is Sc
cured from the jigs, the second
the secondary department of the
rlanD from the tube mills, slime
tables and Deisters. This latter pro-
duct averages SIG to the ton. Un-
der the old Gilpin county practice
1t went into the creek, which It
made anything but clear.
when the Frontenac Consolidated
Mines company held its annual meet
ing in London last December, it vot-
ed $4,000 for additional develop
ment in the company's mines in Rus
sell Gulch. The first result is a seven
foot ore vein at 500 feet from the
surface in the Frontenac mine, the
values ranging from $3.50 to s25 per
ton. In the Aduddell mine the same
vein has been cut at 1900 feet from
the surface, showing $500 feet Of
territory from which rich ore can be
stopped.
Expert Browne, recently sent
over from London to inspect the
Frontenac mines and mill, says the
Black Hawk plant. handling $500 ton
per month, should return net prof
it of $4,000 to the month, or $780,
900 per annum equal to dividends
of 20 per cent upon the s1,500000 Of
, Frontenac shares. At very small cost

creased so per cent as the present

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign OF kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tons Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale color.
PASSAGES too frequent, profuse, or much
reduced, or scaldina and painful.
Sandy, gritty or cloudy Settl1nss'
Fat or oily-lookina layer which gathers
on the surface when allowed to stand,
or ielly-like thickening.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys. and thereby drive away
