Four weeks ago Leroy came to the

His attempt was after three weeks of

than anything else. Concrete lasts
well, holds its shape and keeps the
si!age in good condition.
Other silos. have their advantages.
Stave silos are more easily and quick,
ly built, cheaper, and are the only
kind that can be moved. Gerles silos
are cheaper and more quickly built
than those made of concrete.
A small silo is usually better than
a large one. 1t has less exposed sur.
face as the silage is being fed. Two
or three inches must be fed off every
day during warm weather. Otherwise
it will spoil. If one silo doesn't fur.
nish enough feed, build two small ones
rather than one large me-. For the
same reason, a tall silo is better than
a wide one.
The cost of building differs with 10.
calities. The average is 50 to $3.50
per ton capacity. A silo 80 feet high
and 16 feet across will hold 100 tons
and should cost from 5000 to $3.50. "A

ply: Charles has gone for a great
flight"
FAh, we'll! And why, then, has
not Edward come to bid me good

They could not make him remember
that Edward was long dead. With
tears in their eyes, his grandchildren
brought him letters and flowers to dis

DA|RY|NG IN THE OZARkS

t The possibility of developing dairy

lied by knowing what has been done

area which we term the "Ozarks." In

ing more and more to use siiage in
fattening stock.
The silo may be looked upon as a
large can. 1t preserves the silage by
excluding air. The walls must be air
tight, and a layer of silage, a foot OF
so in depth, serves as a top.
The best type of silo is the round
one. The rectangular silo has neither
the capacity nor the keeping quail
ties of the round. What material to
use in building a silo depends upon

of milk a year. After supplying pop
uIation almost equal to that of Mis-.
souri,, dairy products equal to $14,-
100000 are exported. Yet the Ozark
region is naturally more productive
than Switzerland and it has all the
natural advantages possessed by that
country, with less waste land. If dairy
ing was developed in the Ozark region
as it is in Switzerland, it would mean
nearly $4,000, 900 distributed each year
in each county of that section. Such
an addition to the income of these
farmers would 0 make the Ozark
region one Of the richest parts of the
state.
It is conceded by all competent to
Judge that not only is the Ozark re-
gion especially adapted for dairying,
but that it is certain to be known far
and wide in the future for that indus
try. The things which adapt it to
dairying are:
ID Plenty Of good pasture lands.
~ An unlimited amount of good

water, easily procured.
(3) An ideal climate for stock.
(4) The possibility of growing all
the feed needed on the farm.
There are as good markets within
reach as can be found anywhere. Any
farmer within reach Of a railroad can
sell any quantity of milk and cream
at the highest market price.
The reasons why the Ozark farmer
should keep cows are, first, because
there is money in it. The dairy cow
give returns every day in the year
The cream from ten g%ood-grade cows
well cared for, will bring $50 or more
per month for every month in the
year. Some farmers in the Ozarks are
getting as much as So per month foi
the milk Of each cow.
The Ozark region produces goot
pasture for two months longer thai
the dairy states of Wisconsin and Min
nesota. Cows may be well fed will
feed grown entirely on the farm.
