PitSilo

Every Dry Land farmer
should get a silo this year. If
he cannot afford to buy one, he
should make a pit silo and ce
ment the earth walls. If he cam
cot afford the cement, he can
dig round, deep hole and eli it
without plastering, THE silage
will keep just as well though the
hole will cave in afte the silage
has beed taken out. r.
A.C. Tinsley, Seibert, Colo,
dug a round hole 7 feet across
and lS 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, OF Seibert
made pit silo 8 feet across and
% feet deep. Fifteen sacks of
cement were used, costing SO. Is.
The silage fed 10 cows, that
we're giving milk through the
winter. A 11-incb cutter COST
SIS and was run with a4H horse
power gasoline engine. He
charged his neighbors 80 cents
ton for cutting. Z. Wray, of
Norton, Kansas, made two pit
silos feet across and IS feet
deep. He used 20 sacks of ce-
ment that cost So. 1t took II
days labor for one man to dig
and plaster both silos. The sill
age fed Z head of cattle and 2
horses 10 months.
The man with beef cattle
needs silo fully as much as the
man milking COWS. A herd of
beef cattle roughed through will
average loss in weight of 200
pounds per head through the
winter. The same herd fed sill
age will make an average gam of
100 pounds head between fall
and spring.
A pit silo can be built in any
soil that is dry and not sandy.
1t takes about three tons of
silage for each animal for the
winter and one and a quarter
tons per head for fattening
steers. The capacity is as fol-

In another place in The News
will be seen the notice of a big
money-raising and stock-reduc'
ing sale at the Stevens Mercan-
tile Co. The main object of the
company in holding this sale, is
to close out two lines of mer-
chandise, the groceries and the
gents furnishings, in order that
they may carry a larger and
better stock of dry goods, which
in the future, they will carry
exclusively. You need only to
read one of the big sale bills to
be convinced that for thirteen
days the Stevens-MercaE tile Co.
will be the home of bargains.
The sale begins Monday at
9 a. NJ. Reductions, which are
in many instances a ridiculous
cut from the regular price. are
to be found in every department.
The entire stock is new, clean,
and up-to-date, so remember,
you are getting the big reduc-
tions on standard, dependable,
guaranteed merchandise. This
store has held sales in the past,
they have always been as rep
resented, no fraud. on graft, no
hold-up. This one will be no ex-
ception. Everything will be ex-
actly as represented on the bills.
Mr.. John Swail, representing
the Kansas City Sales Company,
has been employed 10 manage
the sale. He is an artist along
this line, a most accom- modatlng
and obliging gentlemen and high
ly recommended by the company
he represents. He will be- as

The Kansas Agricultural Col
lege has shown that pound for

from corn, kafir and cane have
the same feeding value, providing
each IS cut at the right stage.
Corn should be cut when the

NEELEY FOR
BIG REFORM
In The Currency System And
~ Immediately

Washington, ID. c., June ~
Representative George A. Nee
ley of Kansas, in speech in the
house today, created a sensation
by the emphatic stand which he
took in favor of legislation for
immediate reform in the cur
,rency system and for a continu-
sion of the investigation of the
-Aoney trust, Mr.. Neeley's at
titude in the matter was OF
especial significance for the
reason that most of the Demo-
cratic leaders in the house and
in the senate are supposed to be
averse to currency Legislation at
the present session, although
President Wilson was urging
im mediate action.
Mr.. Neeley is one of those who
believe with the president that
Legislation should be no longer
delayed and his speech, today
carried great weight in the house,
for the reason that Mr.. Neeley
was mem Der of the money trust
investigation committee and is q
member of the bonding and
currency committee which is
framing the new currency bill.
II desire in the very beginning
to state as emphatically as can"
Mr.. Neeley said, "that favor
currency reform at the earliest
possible date, not only to meet
the present day needs, but built
upon foundation broad enough
to care. for the emergencies of
the future.
mo person conversapt with
present conditions will dispute
the necessity of this action, and
have full confidence that this
. Democratic congress, with the
president, will be able to devise
a plan to free from the control of
special and proft-expecting in
terests ample to meet the de-
mands of the country ard con-
serve the interests of all our peo-
pie alike. The good faith of the
Democratic party is pledged to
do this as soon as we may, even
though it be necessary to remain
here the entire summer and un-
til the regular session convenes
in December.
81 believe also," Neeley said,
"that disclosures in the recent
money trust investigation should
be kept constantly in mind and
the work Immediately pushed to
its completion. There is no
good reason why this investiga-
ton should not be continued
either by a subcommittee of the
barking or currency committee,
or perhaps special committee.
But the country is entitled TO
know the secrets of stock Jug
Cling, of manipulation and fnan-
cial crookedness. The methods
pursued to accomplish the de-
sired ends by these manipula-
tors and the public has the right
to insist that these public
enemies be prosecuted for their
crimes"
Mr.. Neeley in very plain terms
called his colleagues attention
to the fact tnat the house is do
leg practically nothing, now that
more than two hundred of the
members are not attending the
session, that few of the house
committees have been appoint
ed and that the average con-
gressman is doing nothing but
attending to the routine work of
his Office. He insists that it was
entirely possible for congress to
get to work in busifess way on
the currency.
