One OF the most noticeable develop
ments of recent years along agricul
tural lines is the extraordinary activity
displayed in the erection OF silos. Ten
years ago the silo was a novelty; now
they are so common as TO cease to en-
cite comment. 1t is said that 10000
silos were erected last summer in the
state of Iowa alone. No figures are
available for West Virginia, but the
number is quite large. In most sec
tons where datrying is given much at
tention, or where the winter feeding
of stock is the chief line of farming
carried on, the silo is receiving much
attention. In many states II is n com.
mon sight in the vicinity of a city 10
see all the large farms equipped with
one or more silos.
Practical experience has shown the
silo to make a big difference in the
amount of feeding value to be obtain.
ed from a given acreage and scientific
experiments and deductions can read
lily show the reasons for this result.

In addition to the changes brought,
about in the proteids and sugar of the
corn plant by chemical and bacterial
actions, there are certain other
changes which render the material
much more palatable and much more
desired by live stock. Dairy COWS or
fattening animals will consume much
larger quantities and the usual waste

ed. The succulence of silage is the
nearest substitute for pasture that eau
be secured in the winter.
Where corn fodder is allowed to
stand out in the open field, exposed to
the weather, there is large loss OF
dry matter. protein and sugar. These
materials are simply dissolved out by
the rain in many cases, although there
are other ways in which they can es.
cape and be lost. The loss from these
sources often amount to "a per cent,

At the Vermont and Wisconsin En-.

ton. one readily realizes why the cree.
ton OF silos has proceeded with such
amazing rapidity.
A well known authority says that
the farmer who keeps only ten COWS

can not afford to be without a silo and
goes on TO show by calculation that for

brought about, by the use of silo
ought to amount to $50 per year.
Locating the SiIo.
: The most important point in deter.
mining the location of the silo is that
of convenience. AS silage is heavy
feed TO handle, II should be placed as
near the feeding managers us possible,
preferably, at one end of the feeding
alley, but outside the barn rather than
within the structure. The silo should
be round in shape. The old type of
square silo has proven unsatisfactory,
owing to the difficulty of packing the
silage properly in the corners; then,
too, 1t was difficult to build this form
so rigid that the side walls would not
spring out and admit air, which inva.
riably resulted IN the decay of the sill,
age.
1t is essential that silo have good
solid foundation. For this purpose, d
hole of the proper diameter and three
or four feet deep is dug in the ground.
The bottom OF this hole is then GOV.
cred with layer of concrete and ce-
ment, and the sides walled up for n
foot or two above the top with heavy
cDnprpfn tpnll NJ lnnct ono foo, ,I,inI,
On top OF this wall the silo Is built Of
whatever material is TO be used. Care
must always be taken not to 20 into
the ground below where good drainage
can be secured to carry off the water
that would collect in the silo.
A common mistake made is to build
n silo too large. or course, the size
should always be determined by tho
amount of silage to be preserved. AS
silage is a moist feed that soon decays
when exposed to the air, the si!o
should be OF such size as to permit OF
at least two inches of silage being re.
moved daily: hence the diameter Is
determined by the number of cattle to
be fed. To insure the removal of the
proper amount. a surface layer of not
more than six square feet should be
provided for each COW. A silo OF small
diameter and a good height is much
better than one of a greater diameter
and less height. owing TO the fact that
there is not so much surface exposed
in the former, while the weight of the
silage above aids in packing the silage
and excluding the air.
Kinds Of Silos.
Before building a silo, 1t is we'll TO
consider the different kinds and the
advantages and disadvantages of each,
together with the cost. but 1t should
be remembered that the cheapest
kinds have often proven 10 be the most
expensive. owing to the fact that they
did not preserve the silage properly.
The kinds used are the various forms
of wooden silos, and those made OF re.
enforced concrete. prepared blocks Of
cement, brick, tile. or some other dur.

silo. plastered with cement. has proven
itself very satisfactory. Although the

GRAND CHAUTAUQUA
EXTRAVAGANZA
TOlOmeO's Royal Italian Band and
Grand Opera Company.
TO APPEAR The FIFTH DAY

1t will be pleasure TO our people
to learn that we are so fortunate as
to have on our Chautauqua this year,
no less an organization than Tolo-
meo's Royal Italian Band and Grand
Opera Quartet. This great band is
under the exclusive management, this
summer, of the Jeffers- Wick Chau-
tauqua system. 1t is only through
this system that we are able to Sc
cure this noted band and opera COM
pany for the grand festive day of our
Chautauqua.
Signor Tolomeo, who is from the
Royal Conservatory of Italy, has
gathered about him a group of real
artists. In the afternoon they will
give a popular concert, and in the
evening they are scheduled to give
a condensed production of Guiseppi
Verdi's great opera composition, 81
Trovatore." This unusual offering
should be enjoyed by all our people.
for it is the most magnificent play
ever staged with music. We are given
full assurance that the Grand Opera
Quartet, which accompanies the Royal
Italian Band, is composed of the very
best artists to be found.
This Grand Opera Quartet is COM
posed of artists who have achieved
success in their work and won the ap-
plause of critics all over the world.
Much could be said of each individual
member of the company, how they
have won their way up to the envi-
able positions they now hold, and of
the enthusiasm with which they have
been received, as they appeared in
the different roles of the worlds best

TWO RESCUED FROM DESERT
Grandsons of Former President Grant
Saved From Death by an Old
Indian.

San Diego, Cal, July 14-Lost in
the desort between the little towns Of
Mecca and Brawley, Cal, Chaffee
Grant and his younger brother, U. S.
Grant W, tramped for three days on
the verge of death. They were res
cued by pure chance and the aid
of an old desert Indian, known in the
district as Piute Jake.
At one time during the awful period
Chaffee was so far gone with thirst,
hunger, and exhaustion that his
brother, himself dazed and almost
crazed by his experience, fought with
the Indian in an effort to shoot the
helpless man and to put him out of
his misery"
The, experience began Tuesday of
this week. The men were carried
into Brawley and word was sent to
Mrs. Chaffe Grant as soon as Chaffee
was out of danger.
