Silage at the Illinois station has
been used for the past 20 years, and
they have learned how to build silos
that will stand the test of time and
preserve the silage. Experts at this
station say that the square silo has
not proved satisfactory because it is
practically impossible to build this
form SO that the side walls will not
spring out and allow the air to get in
and rot the contents. In fact, very
few square silos are now constructed;
the round silo being more substantial
and more desirable in every way.

WHY FARMERS FAVOR PROHIBIT.
TION

Probably no class of people are
more unanimously in favor of prohi-
bition than are the farmers of the
nation, and they have three good
reasons for their attitude.
They wish to protect their families
from the demOralizing influence of
the saloons. They wish to remove a
temptation which so often impairs
the efficiency of their employees.
They can see no justice in paying
taxes to defray the costs of expensive
criminal trials originating in the sa-
looms from which only the towns and
cllies derive a revenue.
To farm boys the presence Of
saloons in nearby towns is a constant
menace. So many of them want
to appear sophisticated when they go
to town and labor under the delusion
that to enter a saloon and take a
drink is the proper thing for an up
to-date young man to do. That it
gives him an air of smartness and
worldly wisdom. This delusion is
encouraged and fostered by the keep
ers and patrons of the saloons, ana

vote against the adoption of all the
laws submitted on the ballot IN order
to Kill the bad ones. This is selfish
and vicious advice. The voters are
capable of separating the wheat from
the chaff. They should remember
that the Seven Sisters" measures
have been prepared and are being
backed by the farmers and laboring
men of the state and not by the poll
ticians. That they are aimed to adj
vance the general welfare of the
commonwealth and not to serve the
purposes of selfish interests; that
they are being submitted by the
friends of direct legislation, who
want to make use of the system, and
not by the opponents of the system,
who want to abuse and kill it. They
certainly merit the fair end careful
consideration of every voter.
