CANT; merely that he had never been
trained to the use of money. His
father had lavished all on him with
out restraint Himself a spendthrift,
and the cleverest gambler on the
Street, he liked to encourage the
prodigal habits in his only son, whom,
since his wife's death, he had wor-
SHIPPED even more than he had loved
the excitement of high finance. When
he had taught Bill that money was
worthless he meant to show him how
to make as much as he wanted.
But Colonel Anderson died very
suddenly, when his sons education
was only half completed. Perhaps
this was fortunate for the boys char
acter, but it was certainly more lucky
for his friends.
Naturally he had many enemies, as =
all men have who go through life be-
slowing favors on the less fortunate.
And he never knew it, because he was
the most ight-hearted person living.
He believed the best of everyone, and
he went through the Fifth avenue

cy Park drawing rooms like bull in
a china shop. His manners were not
faulty, but his tact was not so well
developed as his honesty and high
mindedness
Now take the way in which he be-
came engaged to Miss Hargreaves.
Louise Hargreaves was the belle of
the season, as she had been that of
the preceding two, and they had
known each other for ages. Dozens
of men had offered her their hearts
and hands, and she had sent them
away so reluctantly and had kept
their secrets so sacredly that they re-
manned her devoted friends. About
the only person of suitable age whom
she had not led captive was Bill. Nat
urally Miss Hargreaves was piqued.
Once, when he had given her some

"Of course the senior partner
would add, eff you prefer it we can
sell some of those H. and X. bonds for

providing you with few thousands

this will curtail your capital.

Drive q rod in the ground ex-
acTly where the center of the siIo
is to be. Take a string and a
spike and with the rod as a cen.
ter scratch circle on the ground
the exact size you want the silo to
be. Mark another circle using q
string one foot longer. Dig out
the dirt between these two circles
to a depth of two feet, taking care
to make the inside line smooth
and perpendicular. Fill this
trough with concrete, using one
part of cement to six parts OF
sharp. clean sand. This makes a
collar for the silo.
After the, collar sets. start on
the inside of it; dig down keeping
the walls smooth and perpendicu-
lar. Any bulge or hollow makes
an air space that causes spoiled
silage.
Dig down six feet at q time and
then plaster the walls. This saves
all expense for scaffolding. Plss-
ter the earth walls one half to
three ourths of an inch thick
with a mixture made of one part
cement to two parts sharp, clean
sand. Wet the earth before put
ting on the plaster and dampen
the plaster every day for a. week.
Plaster that dries slowly is tough.
The Kansas Agricultural Col
lege has shown that pound for
pound for either beef or dairy
cattle. silage from corn, katir and
cane have the same feeding value,
providing each is cut at the right
stage.
Corn should be cut when the ears
are deuting. Kafir aud cane
should be cut when the seeds are
ripe but the stalk still full of sa D.

The Pit SiIp.

Every dry-lspd, farmer should
get a silo this year. If be. cannot
afford to buy. one, he should, make
a pit silo and cement the earth
walls, If be cannot afford the Ger
ment, he can dig a, round. deep
hole and gil it without plastering,
The Silage will keep just.ss we'll
though the, hole will cave in after
the silage has been taken out.
A, G. Tinsley, Seibert, Colo,
dug a round hole feet across
and 18 feet deep. Nine sacks of
cement costing $5.05 were used in
plastering the walls. He got 500
more for the cream from his cows
than when he fed dry feed. M.
E. Roberts, Seibert, made a pit
silO 8 feet across and % feet deep.
Fifteen sacks of cement we're used
costing 1925. The. silaRe fed 10,
COWS, that were giving milk
through the winter. An 11-inch
u Il
cutter cost $25 and was run with
q 4 10 horse power, gasoline. en-,

80 cents a ton for, cutting, E,
Wray, Norton, Kansas, made two
pit silos Z feet across and 25 feet
deep. He, used 90 sacks Of ce-
ment that cost s., 1t took II
days labor for one man to dig and
plaster both silos. The silaGs fed

The man with beef cattle needs
a silo fully as much as the man
milking cows. A herd of beef
cattle roughed through will aver
age q loss in weight of 200 pounds
per head through the winter. The
same herd fed silage will make an
average gain of 100 pounds a head
between fall and spring.
The pit silo can be, built in any
soil that is dry and not sandy. 1t
takes about three tons of silsge
for each animal for the winter
and one and a quarter tons per
head for fsttening steers. The

VALUABLE LACES ARE
STOLEN FROM DEPOT

Police and railroad officials are
wrestling with a knotty problem to-
day, as the result of the theft of a
grip from the Rock Island depot last
Friday. The stolen grip, which con-
tanned laces, doilies and linens, is the
property of some local Austrians. The
stuff was abandoned by the thieves,
and was found in the railroad yards
by Officer Gruby. The owners refuse
to state just what the grip contained,
but demand an immediate settlement
from the railroad company. They ap.
praise the goods at $500.
