which by every means they possess
are ever at their old game of heaping

The power to combat the mai order

may be that two plus two equals four
Is not as clear to them as it is to the
catalogue houses. For example, $780,

es, a certain percentage of it's profits.
This is n dollar or two more than a
local merchant will make in a lifetime.

How much did you spend for adver-

BEST PLACE FOR BULLETS.
A cornfieid, an Orchard or a Grasa
Field With Scattered Trees.

An abundance Of sound, sweet grain
should always be accessible to the
young chicks. If they have food at
hand all the time they never gobble 1t
down.
Good food in abundance Is one es-
sential of steady growth. A good
grass run and comforting shade are
other essentials. PulletS can be grown
in close quarters, but the expenditure
Of labor necessary to induce exercise
and to supply green food is very dis
couraging.
The best place in which to grow pull
let's IS a corntield. an orchard or a
grass field where there are trees scat
tered about. The advantages Of hav-
ing plOwed ground at hand for tho
youngsters to scratch over are so great
that many poultry ~raiserS pillow up a
strip thirty or fifty feet wide through
the range and plant corn in it. This
ploWed ground induces scratching,
supplies worms and insects and shade.
When the colony cOops are placed in
the open some artificial shelter from
both sun and rain should be provided.

Culled Fresh From the Farm
LITTLE LEAKS IN FARMS
COST FARMERS MILLIONS.
There Are Many Ways In Which
Losses Can Be Prevented and
Savings Effected.

The little leaks on the farm seem in
Vulnerable. Year after year the very
same leaks are to be found on the very
same farms, no apparent effort having
been made to check them temporarily
or to stop them permanently. 1t would
seem that they are accepted as a mat
ter of course, and because of this an
awakening is needed.
The waste of byproducts on the av-
erage farm amounts to many dollars
during the year. If these were prop
erly turned into cash the handsome
sum realized would be astonishing.
There is the waste occasioned by
poor fenceS-waSte in both money and
time. Live stock will in an hours
time ruin enough Of a crop to more
than pay for a new fence.
We find high priced farm machinery
unprotected and weather beaten stand
Ing in various places about the farm.
Ii the housewife would set a fifteen
dollar sewing machine In the rain for
an hour she would be branded as a
good for nothing, careless housewife,
and rightly so. but what about the hus-
band hat leaves q $50 binder in the
rain, sun, snow and sleet for months?
Corn Is thrown to the hogs on muddy
ground, bushels at q time, and half of
it is wasted. Good. fresh, warm sep
arator milk is poured into a leaky
trough to the pigs. and the greater
part of it is permitted to soak into the
ground.
Live stock IS not properly protected
in the winter, and a greater amount of
feed Is necessary. Hay and other
roughage are fed in such manner that
the greater amount is trampled under
the animals feet.
Manure is permitted to lie in the
barnyard and leach until the valuable
properties it contained are in the air
or the ditch.
Nails are bought by the pound or by
the keg and thrown here and there on
the barn floor or elsewhere, never to
be found when needed.
Harness is left unoiled and unre-
paired and multitudinous little things
allowed to develop into a waste of big
things.-Farm and FireSide.

Concrete StaXe SiloS

We claim that the Concrtee Stave
Silo is the best
Because it is permanent silO, &C
tually growing stronger with age,
Because it is practically a mono
it'll, without weak spot in it,
Because it can not be destroyed by
ire, and is strong enough to resist
my wind, except a regular tornado,
against which no structure can stand
Because it is absolutely air and
waterproof and will preserve the
silage perfectly under all weather
conditions,
Because there are no damp air
spaces serving more as juice boxes
and conveying the frost rather than
keeping it out. Nothing keeps out
frost except a vacuum and then only
for about two days; vacuum isn't
possible in anything but glass,
Because it is acid proof,
Because it will require no atten-
ton to keep it in perfect condition.
We claim the Concrete Stave silo
is the cheapest
Because it can be sold at same
price as a good wooden slo, and it's
lasting qualities make it cheaper
than the best wooden silo that can
hP made,
Because the first cost is the total
cost: no expense for repairs, paint
ing, attention and loss from spoiled
silage caused by leaks,
Therefore if you want the best and
cheapest silo made, get the Concrete
Stave silo.
