BURNING DEAD ANIMALS
WILL PREVENT SPREAD or CON
TAGioUs DISEASES.
By C. e. Brashear, Student In the Col
iege Of Agriculture, University
Of Missouri.

How does the average farmer dis
pose of dead animals? Oftentimes the
animal is dragged to the far side OF
the pasture and there allowed to de
cay and furnish "short orders" for the
bnzzards. In some cases this prac'
tlce Is very dangerous. especially
when the animal has died Of some
contagious disease. The disease germ
may be spread over miles OF territory
by buzzards, dogs and cats, which
have toasted on the diseased carcass
Germs OF disease are also spread

The Concrete Silo.

The concrete silo may be built with
blocks or with solid walls. The kind
most to be recommended Is the solid
wall structure. The advantages OF q
concrete silo are that when once prop
erly built It is a permanent structure
and It not damaged by fire or wind
or from drying out. 1t does not pre-
serve the silage any better than does
one with q wall of wood.
On the other hand, II the concrete
win is properly constructed, 30 that
the air is kept out, the silage VIII be
preserved In perfect condition.

There are a number of advantages
that go with the use of the silo, but
the greatest OF all is the possibility 1t
affords OF utilizing all the corn crop.

This may result In the formation OF
white mould near the outer edge. This
condition, when present, indicates
that the concrete has been made too
porous. First of all, the concrete
should have been made richer in CO.
ment when built. The trouble may be
avoided in case the wall has been
made too porous by applying the CO.
ment and water mixture as described.
II is also well, where the concrete has
been made too porous, to wet the
walls with water as the silage is being
put in, to prevent the absorption OF
water from the silage.
Cost Of Concrete Silo.
The cost will vary more in differ
ent localities than will that Of stave
or Gurler silo, on account Of differ
ence in the local supply OF sand and
gravel. The approximate local cost
of the materials may be estimated
from the table below. The approxi-
mate amount OF each material for tho
walls, floor and foundition with walls
inches thick, are shown. a barrel Of
cement is four sacks.

The forms for building q concrete
silo cost about $50. For this reason
It Ia desirable for a number Of farm
ers to club together and build the
forms. One set of forms may be used
for a number OF silos, and in this way
the cost Of construction can be re-
duced.

cred from all sections of the empire,
the new steamship Columbus of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
