native plants, hence there is no need
to be alarmed as to their possible harm
fitness.
During the last week of June the
caterpillars began to pupate, hanging
on the bare branches Of the bushes.
About the first of July, the first of the
tortoise shell began to emerge from
the chrysalids. There are already, and
will be for a couple of weeks at least,
millions of these brownish, black
spotted butterflies, and then there will
be more of the black caterpillars. Next
fall there will be countless butterflies
again. These will hide in all manner
Of places during the winter. Although
there may be thousands of caterpillars
in the second brood, where there are
now hundreds, it is not likely that they
will do any harm to any of the culti-
waited crops, as their food plant is al
most entirely the laurel or buckbrush.
If a remedy against the caterpillars
is desired, about the best thing is to
destroy the chrysalids with fire. OF
course, the first brood of caterpillars
has already done its work. but by de-
stroying the chrysalids the second
brood is prevented.

SILOS FOR $25 OR LESS
How Dry Landers Combine Forces
to Save Their Fodder Crops
By Alvin T. s.einel. In Southwest Trail

trict. Southwest Kansas. 10 the latest
development in that live agricultural
community. Half dozen farmers
there have combined their labor in dig
ging pits; one Of their number. plas-
tersr, with one helper. has done the
cementing Of the dirt walls and all have
contributed to the buying Of . cutter.
BY this means the individuals concerned
were enabled to carry their livestock
through the winter Of 1912, which
was the most severe experienced on the
plains in ever 80 years; and, in addition.
they were able to turn milk and cream
into cash when some Of their neighbors
were obliged to pay high prices for oil
cake and others forced to sell some Of
their stock for lack Of feed.
Those who took part in the co-opera-
tive plan were A. G. Morrsll. E. r.
Richardson. L. L. Bunting, w. F. Hub
bard and Howard McNabney.. This 10

when it's in the silo it can't blow away
or get full Of grit and sand, ~ it does
