that history is the foundation Of an

Is intensified because Il appeals more

why should the state interest itself
in supporting the society?
Gifts and Donations.
II have partially answered that uucs-
ton by what l have said. The property
IN the museum comes from gifts dona-

brary increases largely from exchanges.
The curator OF the Iowa society tells me
that he values its property at sSOO0OOo.

Why do you need historical building?
There are many reasons why the state
should erect a historical building. The
property Of the society has an estimated
financial value OF more than $4,000 and
should be placed in a fireproof building.
The preservation of that historical ma
terial involves more than it's financial
value because most Of the articles cannot
be duplicated. The relics OF the pioneer
days and OF the Indians and OF the civil
and Spanish wars could not be dupli-
Gated. Let me illustrate. In the museum
are the swords, epaulets and uniforms
worn by Nebraska military commanders
in the Indian and in the civil wars. The
time will come when these will be rs
precious to the future citizens of Ne
braska as are similar articles which were
worn I'm the days of the revolution: n
time when the wealth OF Rockefeller
would not take them away from the state.
Need More space.
Again we need more floor space. We
now have articles sufficient. IL cased for
proper display, 70 cover an entire floor
of the capitol building. And, again, II
we had a fireproof building, II would not
be long. in my Judgment. until additional
articles would be donated Of value equal
to the cost of the building. Otherwise
stated the society would become rich
without expense to It IL 1t had a fireproof
building to take care OF it's property.
do other states have historical build
ings?
Yes. Kansas has just completed a
building that cost about 100000 Iowa
has building which cost s750 900, in which
1t stores its museum and library valued
at 100000 Wisconsin has a society
building which originally cost about $780,
900. and has been enlarged from time to
time to take care of its accumulation of
property until there has been invested
s.. 10000.
Nebraska belongs to the same group
OF states Our early history is just as
valuable as theirs. Our pioneers were
just as daring. adventurous and patriotic,
and accomplished in their way, just az
much as the pioneers accomplished in
Kansas, in Iowa or Wisconsin. Let me
put the question in another form. Why
should any man have the courage to say
that we should not have a building, and
that our past history should not be taken
care Of?
Can Nebraska afford at this time to
put up a historical society buildlngl
Yes. 1t can better afford to commence

DEPTH OF THE TILE DRAINS
Type of Soil and Fall of Land Must
Be Taken Into Consideration
Before Starting Work.
Ry R. G. wEATHERsToNE.,

10Y II. " w 1A<1 4OXNE1-J
In putting in a system Of tile drain
age we must consider the type of the
soil to be drained as well as the fall
of the land before we decide upon
the size of the tile and the depth It
is to be placed.
On a coarse soil, where the object
of the drainage system is to remove
the soil water from around the roots
of the plants, the tile should be laid
three or four feet deep, but on a
clay soil, believe that the tile should
be laid as shallow as is consistent
with the climatic conditions and the
fall of the land.
On clay soils the chief object of
tile drainage is to remove the surface
water as rapidly as possible after
heavy rains before it ruins the grow
ing crops.
To do this It must have an easy
access to the tile and for this reason
they should not be put down more
than two or two and half feet deep.
On clay soil 1t requires longer for
the tile drainage system to become
efficient after it is installed. because
1t takes longer for the watercourses
to form through>the cracks, decayed
root passages and animal burrows,
hence we will secure better imme-
date results from shallow system
of drainage than when the tile are
placed deep.
It has required number Of years
for some of the systems of drainage
to become efficient in clay soils and
few farmers can afford to wait a
number of years for results.
On one of our farms the tile drains
were installed 20 years ago and are
doing far better work today than they
did the first ten years they were put
in. These drains were put In from
three to four feet deep and for the
first few years they did very poor
service.

INFLUENCES TOUCHING SOIL
Ing Drought Tends to Increase
Yields-Frost Is Factor.

Big crops usually follow a year of
drought, in the main due to the thor
ough pulverization of soil from that
agency. Frost is another factor that
gives big crops whenever it enters the
ground deeply, and either of these
agencies will till the soil deeper than
any tools can reach.
There is yet another agency which
should never be neglected, deep-root-
ing plants. which, beside their mechan-
ical and acid action on. the soil, bring
to the surface again fertility that has
leached or that which is out of reach
of the shallower rooted plants, or those
with less subsoil penetration. Wheat
or oats will attack the subsoil to a
limited extent. Alfalfa and sweet
clover will work with us and for us
all the time
While we work the top soil free OF
weeds, and retain the soil mulch
which will enable the alfalfa to sur.
vive, the plant roots are doing an
infinitely greater work below, besides
adding bacteria, bringing a soil to life
that has lain practically dead, except
81 the very top, for all the ages that
have gone.

cred, and the walls are more rigid
than those of the rectangular or octag-
onal forms. This results in more per-
feet preservation of the silage.
The silo should be placed outside
rather than inside the barn. AS a silo
ordinarily does not need the protec-
ton of barn, it is not economical to
use barn space for this purpose. An
exception to this rule may be made in
the case of the round barn. A silo in
the middle of round barn serves to
support the superstructure as well as
to place the silage in a position for
convenient feeding. A silo so placed,
however. is liable to be very incon-
venient to fill. The most popular loca-
ton is not more than a few feet from
the barn and opening into separate
feeding room. The door of the barn
can then be closed and the silage
odors kept out of the stable at milking
time.
The silo should not be built in the
ground so deeply as to make it neces-
sary to lift the silage more than five
feet in getting it out from the bottom.
In other words, the bottom should not
be more than five feet below the low
est door.
The Size and Capacity of the silo.
The diameter of the silo win depend
upon the amount of silage to be fed
daily. The silage should be removed
from the top at the rate of ~ to 3
inches per day, depending upon eli
matte conditions. The warmer the
weather the more silage must be re-
moved from the surface daily in orEer
to prevent spelling. For the winter
feeding season it is safer to figure
upon removing two inches daily rather
than a smaller amount. A common
error in building is to make the diam
eter too large for the size of the herd.
The weight of a cubic foot of silage
varies according to the pressure to
which it is subjected, but in silo 80
feet deep it will average about forty
pounds. So, by knowing the amount
of silage to be fed daily. it is possible
to estimate what the diameter of the
silo should be to permit the removal
of certain number of inches in depth
each day.
The following table will prove o.

ing silos:

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A well-conStructed homemade silo
will last indefinitely, and there is no
danger of its blowing down, rotting
out or being attacked by vermin, says
Farmers Bulletin $50 of the United
States department of agriculture.
The cost of the homemade si1o de-
ponds so much on the size of the silo
and on the local price of materials
that no definite amount can be as
signed which would be applicable to
all conditions. Recently collected
data on the cost of homemade silos
show an average cost of concrete silos
to be $2.58 per ton. capacity. The stave
silos cost $1.63 and the modified Wis
consin $1.61 per ton capacity. Silos of
small diameters cost more per ton ca
pacity-than silos of large diameters.
There are some features which are
essential to the construction of all
silos and without which silage will not
be kept in perfect condition.
1. The walls should be alright.
Since the keeping of silage depends
upon the exclusion of air it is impera-
tive that the walls of the silo be built
in such a way as to keep out the air.
The lumber should be we'll matched,
and that containing large knots should
be rejected. In concrete silos a wash
on the inside with cement or with raw
coal tar thinned with gasoline is eff
fective in making the walls impervious
to air Care should be taken that the
doors fit closely into their frames.
2. The walls should be smooth and
plumb so that the silage will not adj
here to them in settling and thus
cause air spaces in the outer edge of
the silage. Furthermore. the walls
should be capable of standing consid-
cradle lateral strain without cracking
or bullying. This is one reason why
rectangular silos are unsuccessful.
8. The silo must be deep enough so
that the pressure from above will thor
oughly pack the silage and force out
the air. The greater the pressure the
less air in the silo and the less will be
the loss of nutrition materials by fer
mentation.
4. The only form of silo to be recon-
mended is one which is round. This
form is the cheapest, capacity consid-

rate of eight tons per acre in a five
year rotation of corn, oats, wheat,
clover and timothy. Four tons being
supplied to corn and four tons to
