A NEW ASPHALT DEPOSIT.
McCurtaln County Shows One Of the
Best Beds Yet Uncovered In the
Whole State

Oklahoma City-What is said to
be one of the richest mines of soft
sand asphalt has been unearthed at
Valiant, in the southwestern part Of
McCurtain county, according to a
letter written to Mayor Whit NJ.
Grant by R. Morris, who owns the
mine. He says the product of the
mine has been examined by experts
who pronounce it fine grade of as
phalt.
The mine covers about ninety acres
and Morris says he is in position to
ship the asphalt at the rate of a car
load a day. A sample was seAt to
Mayor Grant and it will be examined
by the city chemist. Morris is look
ing for a market for the product, but
it is probable that the commissioners
will be unable to use any Of it as 1t
is desired to obtain it from a point
not so far away.

and instantly killed Tom Crawford, a
former detective, who had tried to lead
him from his crooked path and with
whom Harper was dining

little girl were in the room. The men
were arguing over a grocery bill when
Crawford, according to his wife,
shouted: Harper you are a liar"

attempted to run around the table to
where Harper was sitting The latter
pulled a gun from his pocket and fired
four shots.

Fit SilO Costs Little
In Money or Labor

Kept perpendicular. Inc ground
should be firm. For a person desir-
ing to construct a pit silo eight feet
in diameter, a perfect circle can be
marked on by driving a stake in the
center Of the ground to be occupied
by the silo.. To the top of this stake
afiX a board fully four feet in length.
At the far end Of the board, one large
nail should be driven, projecting
through the board, and then six
inches closer to the central stake a
second nail should be driven. By
revolving the stake two circles will
be described on the smooth surface
Of the ground.
Small Trench for Concrete
The space between the two circles
should be dug out to a depth Of at
least eighteen inches. This branch,
six inches wide and eighteen inches
deep should be filled with concrete.
If sand and cement is used to fill the
trench, the mixture should be in the
proportion of one part cement to four
parts of sand. If the sand contains
coarse gravel, one part Of cement and
five parts of sand should be used.
This concrete curb should extend
above the ground a foot or two, 10
protect the silo from wash water
When the concrete has settled for
twenty-fOur hours, excavation of the
inside of the pit can safely be com
menced
The diameter Of the pit including
the coating of cement should be even
at every point with the inside of the
curb to permit an even settling Of
the silage After the pit has been
dug to a depth of five feet the walls
should be carefully trimmed and
given coating of cement. This coat
ing should be from three-fourths TO
one inch in thickness. The advant-
'age Of coating the walls with cement
is to make the pit alright and to pre-
ment mOles and rats burrowing into
the pit. BY coating the walls of the
pit as it is dug, no scaffolding will
/ be necessary.
The dirt from the pit, when it has
been dug to a depth which precludes
the use of a shovel can be removed
by the use Of an ordinary block and
tackle and bucket attached to a der
rick. A cement flooring is not an alb
solute necessity, but the pit probably
will be more nearly alright if one,
/ is laid. The cement flooring will in
addition to excluding the air, serve
TO keep out seep water from the bot
tom of the pit.

Ii 1tC4-O'-- Nat WIlulu q lew years
a silo VIII be as common a sight on
Oklahoma quarter sections as barns
now are, is indicated by the serious
consideration farmers are giving to
the proper construction of the silo
and the eagerness with which they
are seeking information concerning
the proper packing of silos and the
method Of feeding silage.
To those farmers who are unable to
construct a silo above ground, the
pit silo can be dug and made to pro-
duce the same quality Of silage as
the most expensive. The chief diff
ference between the silo built be-
meath the surface and the one tow
ering thirty feet above lies in the
accessibility of the latter when feed
ing time comes. This is the infor-
nation given out by the lecturers on
the Rock Island silo train.
% Experience has shown that depth
is one of the chief requisites of a silo,
in Older to obtain gravity pressure.
The doors in the side of a silo built
above ground from which the silage
can be removed for feeding purposes
are praEtically the only advantage
possessed over those built beneath
the surface. The object in construct
ing a silo round in shape is two-fold
first if it is above ground no unequal
pressure will cause the walls to
spread, and second, it gives to the
silo a round shape which enables the
silage to settle evenly, precluding the
possibility of air pockets.
At Very Little Cost
For the tenant or farmer of mod
crate means who desires to have on
his farm a silo in which to store win.
ter feed for livestock, an excellent
underground or pit silo can be con.
structed with the outlay of but a
few dollars.
The pit silOs that are being used
vary in diameter from eight to six
teen feet, and from twenty to thirty
~siX feet in depth. Silage usually is
fed to COWS and beef cattle at the
rate Of from thirty to forty pounds
per day, therefore a COW or steer
in 200 days would require from three
to four tons Of silage. A siIo with
a depth of twenty feet and a diane
ter of eight feet would contain ap
proXimately eighteen tons of silage
which would feed through the winter
at least five head of livestock
The ground in which the silo is tc
be dug should first be given a smooth
surface, to facilitate the walls beine
