Cement S|LO

The Kansas Agricultural College re-
commends the cement silo, either the
metal lath or the solid wall or mono-
lithic type.
It is not true that any cement silos
built for farmers under college super
vision have been failures or have
cracked. Over forty such silos have
been built under such supervision and
one has cracked.
It is true that the first metal-lath silo
built at the college, and the first one OF
that type built in the west, did crack
while being filled, simply because it was
not built under any supervision, and
the workmen did not follow speci6ca-
lions. 1t was 'hooped," the crack filled
with fresh cement, and the silo filled to
the top, the silage keeping perfectly.
In August, 1911, this silo was torn
down and another of exactly the same
type was built, filled in September, and
the silo is today in perfect condition
and the silage is keeping perfectly even
TO the edges" Director E. H. Web
ster of the Kansas Experiment Station,
who has authorized theb uilding of this
type Of silo seven years ago, when chief
of the government dairy division, be-
lieves in it so thoroughly that he not
only had one built at Manhattan in
August, 1911, but he also built one OF
the same type at the Dodge City Ex-
pertinent Station and two at the Hays
Experiment Station in September, 1911:
During the season of 1910, twenty
three of the metal-lath type of silos
were built under the supervision Of the
Extension Department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, and during
the season of 1911 nine more we're built
under such supervision, and during this
season of 1911 eight solid wall or mon
olithic silos were built under the super
vision of a man from the college. Dur
ing these two seasons more than twenty
Of each type of silo have been built by
contractors, without college, supervi-
sion, but on plans and specifications fur
nished by the Extension Department Of
the college.
Not one silo built under college sup
ervision or on college plans or speci-
fcations, other than the first one built
at the college, has been reported to us
as being defective, cracking, or showing
any signs Of weakness. Not one Of
these silo owners has reported spoiled
silage.
The Agricultural College does not at
tempt to discredit any type Of silo'
For twenty years the college has ad,
vocated the building of silos and the
use of silage. The cement silo is fav-
ored where a farmer has permanent
buildings, or where he knows where
he wants his silo to stand, because il
lis permanent Improvement. The &C.
ment silo, like all cement structures
must be built right and the college is

In a mood to make even ordinary pur-
chases.

EW YORK, May 1.-THE recovery
mi In stocks that took place today
was important, more because OF
the Improvement Of sentiment
than because OF the advance OF
prices. The price advances were materi-
al ranging more than point In leading
issues. but sentiment. which had been
respondent the day before, was hopeful
at the close today. In many quarters this
conhdence extended so far as to lead to
expressions that new high records would
be made within few days.
These records We're not talked of by the
small traders. but by the big operators
Ihey said they expected to see the mar
ket advance throughout the summer, with
frequent breaks like that OF Thursday TO
scare out little traders.
Easy money. record large tonnage for
lne steel mills. q strong copper metal
market, certainty OF big crops, speedy
settlement of the dispute between the
miners and the anthracite operators and
assurances OF early peace in Mexico were
other reasons given for the recovery of
the market.
