The New Cement Silo on the Saunders

A trip out to the Saunders Il

ly built and is constructed of the
continuous hollow cement block
made at the Milbank Cement
Works, with double wall and non
freezahle. 1t is l6feet in diameter
inside and is II feet high, and
when filled will contain 1913 tons.
Steel doors on the side next the
barn will give opportunity to I'M
load the enSllage from the top in
to a chute leading to the barn
and these doors may be taken off
in sections from the top as the
contents are taken to the barn
August Berkner with his new
ensilage cutter is doing tine work
with a gasoline engine, the fodder
after being cut is carried TO the
top of the siLo by a blower and
dropped inside. The machine
cuts It up into fine particles and
does it with surprising rapidity
as the stuff is brought from the
field. 1t is said that from - to
100 tons of it can be slowed away
in a day.
The silo is one of the recently
improved methods of farming in
these parts, and its well proved
economy in the matter Of feed
will eventually make it a neces.
sity on every farm.

Quite an eNcltementWaS raised
last Saturday in the railroad
yards when a man claimed to
have been held up and robbed
in a freight car. The victim in
the case gave the name of Samuel
Mcknight, and the defendant
gave his name as James Wiley,
both transient characters Nc
Knight, in his story to Judge
Bleser, stated that a day before
he had come down from NilmOt,
where he had been working, and
had about Sl4 in his pockets,
which he proceeded to blow in
according to theapproyed custom
Of his tribe He found no difficult
ty in doing this, and about noon
the day after his arrival he found
that his earnings had been de
depleted 50 that he had no diff

Just S203, which he had wrapped
up in a tobacco sack and placed
in the pocket OF his pantaloons.
With this surplus cash he board
ed an open box a OF an east
bound train that was standing on
the side track, for the purpose Of
having a Joy ride into Minnesota
He had no sooner boarded the
car. he stated, than he was fol,
lowed by Wiley, who Immediately
threw his arm about Meningitis
neck and proceeded to hug him
in the most endearing manner, at
the same time reaching for the
tobacco sack that contained the
Lincoln pennies and the two sill
yer discs, all the while displaying
a pocket knife and using it on
Mcknight 5 clothes to rip the
seams and Get at the tobacco
sack. The victim of the assault
made frantic efforts to get away,
but being III the feathSrWelght
class while his aSSailant was a
heavy weight, he was unable to
free himself and get away, and
not until a brakeman made
his appearance upon the scene
did Wiley loose him from his en-
brace, and when therobber Jump

track, but his clothes had beenso
cut and torn that he had 10 use
both hands to hold his trousers
in the proper position and he was
unable to make much Roadway.
Hover, he called out to drayman
George Smell, who happened to
be near by, that he had been
robbed and to stop the thief.
The latter was followed and Chief
Of Police Sutclitfe found him ly-
ING in the long grass on the side
of the hill at the creek north OF
tracks, having rolled down into
the water. When requested to
get up and walk he refused to do
SO, and lntimated that he had to
be assisted in all his undertake
ings. OtficerSutcliffe and several
others who had gathered around
dragged him up the hill and load
ed him on the dray and he was
conveyed to the cooler. At his
hearing before Justice Bleser
Monday morning he was bound
over tOthe circuit court on charge
of highway robbery. According
to the evidence of those who were
around at the time of the fellows

life for the foul and disgusting

mouth like the flo of filth from

No matterWhether it be fall or
spring blowing, early or late, the
land should be ploWcd deeply.
There are several reasons why
this should be done. In the first
place the soil is the home of the
roots of plants. Upon the de
velopement of the root system or
a plant depends It's power to pro.
duce a crop. The plant food and
the water which plants must have
are obtained wholly from the soil.
If a GOOD root system IS develop
ed he plant is then in condition
to appropriate to its use these
two prerequisites Of crop produc'
ton. The roots Of plants, IN
Their search. for plant food and
for water. must force their way
between the soil grains and 1t Is
evident to any one, after a
moments thought, that It j.
easier for the;rpOt Of q plant to
force its way between the grains
of a soil that is loose and mel
low than it would be to force It's
way between the soil grains that
had beeu closely packed.
In the second place most OF the
available plant foods which the
soil contains are found IN the land
that is turned over by the pillow.
One of the essential plant foods,
nitrogen, becomes available Tor
the use Of plants only after 1t has
been exposed to the warming IN
huence of the SUI and the ar.
The roots Of plants obtain very
little nitrogen below the depth at
VIII ch the land is plowed. Crops
in the DakOtas suffer more often
from a lack Of nitrogen than from
any Of the o herplant foods. The
supply of available nitrogen can
therefore be largely increased by
exposing a greater volume OF sou
to the sun and the air by deep
blowing.
In the next place crop produc
ton in this north-Western coun-
try depends more often upon the
moisture content of the soil than
any other one factor. Especially
in the western halfO the DakOtas
drought causes more crop losses
than all other agencies combined.
