We have been reliably informed
that that Florida hog killed in st.
Petersburg the other day and which
weighed something more than 800
pounds, was descended on the ia
TIERS side from the grand old in
digenOus razOr-back stock of the
State. Let this be sufficient re-
buke to those prejudiced and SUI
perficial persons who never look be-
heath mere eXternals and are rarely
SO happy as when expanding their
wrath and ridicule on our native
hogs of good old pioneer stock. The
best of the human race has been
built up by the judicious crossing Of
good strains. Same way with hogs
"A fake pure and simple is the

speaks of the offer of that Dutch

that impression is getting to be gen.

further consideration. Concerning

Call BuckhOrn a Bad Weed.

Besides human immigrants, good
and bad, the old world has sent the
new world several kinds Of plant I'M
migrants that are the worst Of bad
weeds.
Buckhorn is one of these, say the
experts of the department of botany
of the Kansas Agricultural College.
When it came over is not known DEN
nitely, but it is here now, and widely
distributed over the eastern half OF
the United States. The long, narrow,
ribbed leaves grow close to the ground
in a cluster or rosette, from the cen
ter of which the flower stalk arises.
The plant is spread by the large guam
titles Of seed produced and by young
shoots which grow out from the top
Of the old plant Because Of both
these characteristics it is very difficult
Of eradication II it occurs in small
patches, it can be removed by cutting
Just below the crown. In large infest-
ed areas, such as lawns or meadows,
the only remedy is to plow deeply and
thoroughly and reseed.
The seeds of the weed occur in al
faIfa, but more frequently IN red

[By CIyde McGee, County D,


One day recently visited the farm
of Ed Wray in Norton county. Mr..
Wray has two pit or underground 81
los in operation, and he says that they
are a success in every way and that he
is well pleased with them These 81
los are round, and the dimensions are
7x2K feet and 7x25k feet. He
intended to dig them deeper but was
afraid of water seeping in and spoil
ing the siIage if he went down 100
deep. He first started by leveling the
surface where the silo was to be dug,
and then made a marker and marked
off two circles, as follows: From
center to inner circle 3 Y feet, from
center to outer circle feet.
He then took a narrow spade and
dug out the space between the cir
Giles to a depth of IS inches, taking
care to have the surface of the trench
very smooth, especially on the inside
of the circle. He then filled the
trench with concrete mixed to 1. In
this way the collar or curb Of the
