have better wages to meet the higher
cost of living, Dr.. Wane read paper
prepared from reports OF the interstate

The Summer siIo.

The use Of the silo throughout the
year is finding favor with many stock
keepers. 1t is quite difficult to obtain
profit on pasture which is on land
worth $4,000 or more per acre. Dur
ing drouth seasons, the pasture is
often SO poor that it affords little or no
feed, but the interest on the inveg'
ment, and the taxes must be fond.
There is no question but what tie use
Of the silo for summer feeding wipr'
make rapid gains during the nNv+ few
years and will soon come into common
use. The millions of tons of corn
stalks and rough forage which are
now annually going to waste will find
use in the form of silage and will
make possible not only a cheaper pro-
duction of stock and stock products.
but will also make 1t possible to at
least double the profit of stock raising.
Farmers who are complaining of low
profits from cattle, should make a
study Of the silo, Rs they will here find
a means to increase their profits and
do this with less labor The silo is

use will have a vast amount of valu-

have hesitated, but now a decision
was not 80 easily made OF hs COM
mand scarcely thirty men remained
at Devere. a mere infantry guard, to-
gether with a small squad Of cavalry
men, retained for courier service. His
only remaining commissioned offlcer
at the post was the partially disabled
cavalry captain, acting temporarily as
adjutant, because incapacitated for
taking the field. He had waited until
the last possible moment, trusting
that shift in conditions might bring
back some available officer. Now he
had to choose between his duty an
commander and as father. Further
delay was impossible.
Devere was a fort merely by cour-
tesy. In reality It consisted only Of
small stockade hastily built of cot
tonwood timber, surrounding in partial
protection a half dozen shacks, and
one fairly decent log house. The
situation was upon a slight elevation
overlooking the ford, some low bluffs,
bare of timber but green with June
grass to the northward, while in ev-
cry other direction extended an in
terminable sand-desert, ever shifting
beneath wind blasts, presenting as
desolate scene as eye could witness.
The yellow food of the river, still
swollen by melting mountain snow,
was a hundred feet from the stockade
gate, and on its bank stood the log
cavalry stables. Below, q scant half
mile away, we're the only trees visible,

In the gloom following an early

in the single room OF the cabin, a

cussing the situation. Mcdonald was
florid and heavily built, his gray mus

He went to market with a load of
potatoes and started to sleep In his

foresee nothing but the disappearance
OF the entire load unless he took sum-
