Cement Silo Construction

This Office just received a bulletin
on Cement Silo Construction issued
by the Kansas State Agricultural
College. This bulletin, written by
Geo. G. Wheeler, of the Extension
Department of the College, is simply
a book giving detailed Instructions as
to the building of two types of ce-
ment silos, the solid-wall or monolithic
silo and the plastered or metal-lath
silo. The Agricultural College be-
lieves in cement silos and has carried
on quite campaign for this type of
silo because of its permanence. The
writer's of this bulletin have supervis-
ed the construction of good many
cement silos throughout the State
and are giving very detailed directions
as to the building of cement silos.
Any good plasterer or concrete worker
ought to be able, from the study of
this bulletin, to build silo; any
farmer who knows much about the
handling of concrete ought to be able
to build one of the monolythic siIos
without any instruction other than
contained in this bulletin AS this
bulletin is issued by the Extension
Department, it will be mailed to all
members of the Farmers Institutes
in Kansas at once, and will also be
mailed to any others interested, on
application to Director College Elk

HAVE PRIVILEGE OF CREATION
Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at a tender age and form
totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
to captivate. to charm. to enslave the
opposite sex. before they are out of
the nursery. They live and die
many. many of them-without ever In
the least understanding the truth
about love or, in fact, about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of justif1ca-
ton in this one way you look at it.
Why should one woman have luxury,
ease. travel society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation?
This is a useless question. We
cannot explain the inequalities of life.
but there is an answer to the woman
who asks this question. 1t is this:
The more barren the field the greater
the privilege of creation You have
a chance to see what you can find by
the way of JOY and beauty; you have
an opportunity to create your own at
mosphere and IT can be a very lovely
one If you learn the secret of making
it so.-Pittsburg Leader.
