90 establish a government under

The most drastic feature o. the de

The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1914-08-08

Ourlng inc three hundred
years Of Spanish rule in Mexico
the executive head Of the govern.
msnt was an sppointee OF the
king Of Spain. These sppointees,
in most cases, were ecclesiastical
officials and in political life, as in
ecclesiastical life, the Roman
Catholic church was omnipotent
and ruled Mexico with an iron
hand.
In view Of such a condition Of
anairs-an sutoeratic and unen-
hghtened government, and CON-
plete isolation from the more ad.
vanced nations Of the world-it
is not surprising that at the he.
ginning Of the nineteenth century
Mexico was in much the same
miserable condition as character
ized the times Of the Conquest.
The church itself comprised
the secular and regular clergy.
The entire country was covered
with converts and monasteries,
filed with friars and nuns, for
the most part living in idleness
and debsuchery on the unpaid
labor Of the wretehed serfs who
were their victims.
On the great subsidies meted
out 10 her by the functionaries
Of government, this so-called
church has grown and waxed fat
until today the tyranny and
abuses resulting are eliminating
in a protest on the part of the
people that threaten not only to
drive the church from the repub-
lie, but TO raze her institutions TO
the ground and exclude her sctiv-
ity in Mexico for all time to come.
Behind all the movements for
a monarchy in Mexico; behind
the appeals from Mexico's Ro-
manized officials, from time TO
time in days past, for the pope to
re-establish his earthly reign on
Mexican soil, and behind all the
plots Of revolution and counter
revolution for the purpose of pre-
venting the establishment of re-
hgious liberty, free speech and a
free press in the republic of Mex
leo, stands the Roman Catholic
church and its army Of political
and ecclesiastical traitors and in
triguers.
These facts are familiar TO
Villa and the constitutionalist
leaders, and that they should
make these facts known to the
world and make one mighty eff
for. to free Mexico from the with
ering blight that is responsible
for the majority of her troubles
from time immemorial is not only
commendable, but they should
have the support and co-opera-
tion Of the patriots Of all nations
in their efforts, and the American
people, especially, should be the
last to allow their government to
put one straw in the way of the
men who have this work in hand

Complete Silo With Chute.

a homemade stave or Wisconsin type
silo, but after 1t is once built little at
tention is required to keep 1t In good
condition.
TIE stave or tub silo has become
very popular in late years because OF
the cheapness, ease and quickness
with which 1t can be built. Generally
speaking, the stave silo excels In
these three particulars, although there
may be sections of the country where
sand and gravel can be obtained at a
nominal cost and where the price OF
lumber is prohibitive. Under such
conditions the concrete silo may be
cheaper. Stave silos last for from five
to fifteen years. depending upon the
kind of material used and the care
given them. Unless well anchored or
guyed, they are apt to be blown down
when empty.
The average cost for concrete silo
of 100 tons capacity is 1920; from one
to two hundred tons in capicity. $34S.
The average cost of the modified Wis
consin silo of about one hundred tons
capacity is 1886, and that of the stave
type of 100 tons or less, $118. The
cost. Of course. varies with the local
cost of labor and material.
There are some features which are
essential to the construction OF all
silos and without which silage cannot
be kept in perfect condition.
/. The walls should be alright,
since the successful keeping Of silage
depends upon the exclusion of air
Large knots In the lumber should be
avoided, and the lumber should be
we'll matched. In concrete silos a
wash on the inside with cement and
water or with raw coal tar thinned
with gasoline is effective in making
the walls impervious 10 air. The tar
treatment Is also advisable for staye
silos, as II preserves the wood. Care
should be taken that the doors fit
closely into their frames.
2. The walls should be smooth and

Silo construction has undergone a
great change since the first ones we're
built, all the early ones being built In
the ground. while the modern silos
are constructed almost entirely above
ground. Besides. the first silos we're
comparatively shallow structures,
which resulted In a large amount of
spoiled silage on account Of the lack
of sufficient pressure. says Farmers
Bulletin $50 of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture.
Silos have increased rapidly In num-
Der, until now they are extensively
used. especially In those regions de-
voted to the dairy industry. So useful
have they become that many farmers
consider them indispensable. The silo
is adapted to all parts of the United
States where corn or the sorghums
can be successfully grown. Its use at
present is confined principally to
farms where cattle are kept, although
silage is a good and cheap feed for
both sheep and horses. Some danger,
however, attends its use for horses, as
1t is essential that silage fed to horses
be made from fairly mature corn,
properly stored in the silo and that 1t
be not moldy or frozen. Dairy farm
ers, especially, have appreciated the
value Of silage as a milk producer. To
make the silo profitable investment,
however, the farmer should have at
least ten cows, or the equivalent in
other stock
A well-constructed concrete silo will
last indefinitely. and there is no dan
ger of its blowing over or burning, rot
ting out. or being attacked by vermin.
Its first cost is, as a rule. greater than
