THE PIT slLo IN FINNEY COUNTY

c. P. Hamilton, living eight miles
south Of Garden City, has two pit
silos. He has this to say regarding
the putting in Of a siIo Of this char
acter:
It is important to keep the walls
straight and the depth should be at
least twice the diameter. His silcs
are 5 by % feet. From December l
to March % he fed 80 head Of cattle
on fifteen acres of corn silage. The
silage was put in as the corn ccm-
menced hardening. 1t is also impor-
tant that the knives cutting the silagt
should be sharp.
His cattle were fat enough for the
block at the end Of the feeding seas
on. This fifteen acres was thei. so.e
feed. Mr.. Hamilton fed twice each
day and the time consumed IN labor
was fifteen minutes to the feed, or
80 minutes a day. Eight head Of
cows we're in this bunch and pricr to
the time of feeding silage wer
fed cotton cake and bran-2OO pounds
IN equal parts per week. This feed
was discontinued December l when
the silage was ready. The COWS i'm
mediately made a gain in butter fat
Of one-third.
Mr.. Hamilton says the lifting Of
the feed is easily done with a horse
that can be guided by a wire. He
considers corn the preferred fe d, his
next choice is kafir corn.
The two silos ON his place cost hin
1880, and placed in hard ground
free from sand, he estimated the
expense would be much less.-Gardne

HEALTH is THE MOST VALUA-
BILE ASSET YOU CAN POSSESS.
You may have been unfortunate in
selecting a doctor to treat you, CT,
you may not have given yourself the
attention which your disease de-
mands. You know that every day
you put the matter off you are grow
ing worse, the condition is gradually
becoming more deeply seated and
making inroads ON your vitality, the
consequences Of which you may be
entirely unaware. If you have a
case that has been hanging on for
weeks and months and which medi-
cines from doctors and druggists do
not cure, THERE IS A REASON.
You understand that examination
consultation and advice cost you
nothing.

BRIsToW THE BooR.

Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad
This utterance antedated the IN
fortunate elevation Of Joe Little Bris-
tow to the United States senate some
thousands Of years, but it's apt Just
the same.
Br:stow, feeling himself slipping,
is resorting nowadays to any method
to re-estabhsh the myth that he is a
great fighter. He can be reel ct d
only by anti-demOcratic votes. He
realizes this. So he fights Wilson,
right or wrong. He opposes every
democratic policy, wright or wrong.
He stultifies himself by voting to
keep the Payne-Aldrich tariff act,
that he condemned on the statute
books, because the vote for the new
law would have been to endorse
the repeal TO the Panama canal tells
act, because it is advocated by edm
ocratic president. He opposes the
patriotic and humane course ct the
president in Mexico, because the
president is a democrat. He deScrib'
ed the presidents course as idiot {
and the other day described fellow
senator's action-of conrse, the sena
tor was a democrat-as 'asintne.
What a happy choice of words the
great BriStow exercises. Idiotic' il
referring to the president; 'asintne
in referring to fellow senator.
But it is the penalty Kansas must
pay for having elevated dime-nove
Fdatective to a place properly occupied
only by a statesman. AS it is impos
sible to make a silk purse out Of q
sow's ear, so it is impossible to maxi

TO VOTE ON TOLLS.
Democrats in Senate to Cut Short
Debate and Kern Expects Roll
Call on Bill May rs.

Washington, May 16. - Although
many senators are yet to speak on
the bill 20 repeal the exemption claus
Of the Panama canal act, Senator
Kern, the majority leader, was hope
ful tonight that debate would close in
another week and that vote might
be taken May 25. Advocates Of re-
peal say they expect to pass the bill
by q safe majority, but those opposed
are confident they will surprise adj
minlstration leaders.
Before the bill Is voted upon, the
many amendmnts win have to be dis
posed Of. It is generally believed that
bill cannot be passed exactly as 1t
came from the house. Senators who
have led the repeal fight are
expected to concentrate their
efforts on the amendment offered by
Senator Simmons and adopted by the
inter-oceanic canals committee which
declares the United States in rep al
ing the exemption clause valves no
rights over the canal.
Senator WAUGH closed debate for
ohe week with speech against re-
peal. The senator was secretary CT
the subcommittee at the Baltimore
convention which framed the Demo
cratic platform. He repud'ated as
unfounded any suggestion that the
tolls plank was inserted surreptit:ous-
ly and said Secretary of State Bryan,
a co-worher ON the platform, had full
knowledge Of this plank. He said II
was significant Attorney General Nc
Reynolds had expressed no opinion re
gardiHg the question of tells. Mr.
Walsh was the eighth senator tc
speak ON tolls during the week.
The statement that William Jen
nmgs Bryan deliberately approved tn
tolls exemption plank of the Demo
cratic platform, as a member of tht
subcommittee en- resolutions which
prepared the platform, was made ia
the senate today by Senator Walsl
Of Montana, secretary of the sub-com
mittee,
Senator Walsh declared that al
open Reputation of the solemn cove
nant BY political party would caus'
all to recoil from it with horror, wer
1t proposed by amy other man thau
the president of the United States.
For myself its moral aspect as
Sumes no different hue because b
comme0ds it, added the senator.
As a substitute for the repeal bill
Senator Walsh urged the adoption Q
former President Taft's proposal t
submit the controversy to the su
preme court.
