Concrete vs.. Wood Silos.

The cost of building a silo varies
with local conditions, such as the
prices of material, labor, etc. The
averaee cost of building a rein
forced concrete silo is from $3.50 to
$500 per ton capacity, while the
cost of the stave silo is about Sl.oo
per ton capaclty-that is, a con-
crete siIo with a capacity OF lOO
tons would cost, on the average
from s25O.OO to $4,000, while a
stave silo of like size would cost
about $3.50.
The concrete silo will last indet
niteIy when properly constructed
which is an advantage over thf
stave, plaster, or wooden block. VI
the other hand, a stave silo has al
advantage in that it can be move'
if that is found to be necessary. |
is sometimes advisable to build
Istaye silo if the farm buildings ar
not permanently located, as tn
concrete can never be moved

The question of financing county

is written by the Office Of public roads
in collaboration with James W. Glover,
professor of mathematics and insur'

bulletin the authors discuss fully the
various methods of financing road
building and retiring debts for ROAD
construction, and also deal frankly
with the actual total cost of road
during the life of the bonds. On the
total cost of a road, the authors cite
the following two examples as afford

total minimum cost Of mile of road

Most Helpful Slams.

One of the most helpful signs Of
the present time is the attitude of the
farmer and the business man towards
greater permanency in building and
improvements. This is seen in road
building, in the very widespread use
of concrete on the farm and in the
tendency towards flreproof buildings
In all of the small cities. Truly there
are some places where concrete car
be used to good advantage on youl

REFORM IN 1899

(As reported by the The Star Gazer
in The Future Age.)
As the verdict was pronounced and
the prisoner led from the courtroom,
escorted by the sheriff and a Gordon
of police, the long suppressed feelings
of the crowd broke loose. Fearing
the mob spirit and a display of viol-
ence, the mayor took immediate
steps to curb the passions of the an
gered multitude. The sodawater
fountains were closed, as were also
the pop stands and lemonade dives.
The license OF the two near beer re-
sorts were revoked, and the proprie-
tors were warned not to permit the
sale even of buttermilk. Dance halls
and other public places where ginger
ale is sold received notices to close
down within an hour. Investigators
we're sent out to the hotels and cafes
to determine whether grape juice or
other beverages were being served.
Prosecutions were threatened in any
case any proprietors were detected in
violations of law The Dry Town
committee had its own Investigators
scattered throughout the lemonode
district, and announced that it would
attempt to make this the beginning
of crusade for the permanent sup
preston of alt drinks. Thousands of
citizens during the day crossed the
bridge into the next state where pop
resort keepers transacted land office
business. Hill City New Era.

A man who lived in Kansas had a
tin roof on his house. One night the
wind blew and tore it off and left it
lying in the yard. The owner was at
a loss as to how to use the tin until
a neighbor suggested: ''Ship it in
to the factory and they will give you
something for it. They use tin in
making their cars. -
The men rolled it up as best they
could and shipped it by freight to the
factory. A few weeks later he got a
message from the local depot agent to
come and get his auto out Of the
freight room. There was no freight
bill nor communication for several
weeks, then he received the fol-
lowing: ''Dear Sir-We received your
damaged car, have repaired it and
sent it back to you. but please tell us
what in thunder did you. run into?"

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 20.
1915. Cattle receipts to-day were
1900 head, of which 500 were yarded
in the Southern division. The mar
ket was steady on the best native cat
tie and on Southerns, but plain ma
tives sold shade lower in some cases.
There were large number of prime
cattle here, several lots of Missouri
corn and blue grass steers selling at
SO 80 to S10.15, two droves bringing
the top, the highest price reached
this season. Native mixed yearlings
reached 1890. There was large var
iety of cattle offered, receipts includ-
ing Is cars of Arizona fed steers.
which sold at $500 to SS.25 including
some steers on the Holstein order.
A drove of panhandle grass cows
brought $685. 984 lbs. average Four
cars of Panhandle fed steers brought
s9. so, average weight 1245 lbs., high
est price ever paid for Texas cattle
A string of Burke Burnett's feeders,
from Panhandle City, Texas, 1882
lbs. average brought $40. In the
quarantine division II loads of South
Texas grass steers sold at ST. 40 to
$500, and Is cars, of North Texas
cake fed steers sold at s7.85 to 1856.
1t was cosmopolitan offering, and
sellers were well pleased with their
returns
In the hog division the market was
a repetition of that of yesterday, ex-
cept that packers competed with ord
er buyers for some light weight ship
ping hogs, paying up to S7.65, while
order buyers paid S7.67 IL the to D.
Rough packing hogs sold down to
S7-25, and the bulk had the wide
range Indicated. Early sales were
steady to lower, late sales 10 to Is
lower. Packers have large stocks of
provisions, which the unsatisfactory
international trade conditions are
preventing them from moving. AS
long as England siezes cargos destin-
ed to neutral countries the price of
hogs will have an unstable footing,
according to market authorities.
Sheep and lambs sold slightly low
er again, receipts 5000 head Thir-
teen loads Arizona lambs sold at S7.50
and 1856, weighing around 81 lbs.
average. A load of Arizona yearling
fed wethers, 81 lbs. average, brought
Sc. .25, and loads feeding lambs, so
lbs. average, brought S7.25. Ariz-
ona ewes brought $3.50 yesterday,
plain native ewes s6.15 today. Ewes
are selling here out of line with other
markets, account of scarcity.

Kill the Grasshoppers

A bran mash is the best way to get
rid of the pests.
Bran. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ~ IDS
Paris green or white arsenic. L 10
Syrup. p....-...- .----Z GUS
Water l-2 gals
Mix the bran and paris green
thoroughly in wash tub while dry.
Dissolve the syrup in water. Squeeze
the juice of the oranges or lemons
and then chop the peeling and add it
all to the syrup water, and then mix
bran and poison and syrup water all
together Stir well. The oranges or
lemons makes it very appetiZing and
thus is eaten by more of the grass
hoppers.
The damp mash or bait should be
sown broadcast in the infested areas
early in the morning, or about the
time the grasshoppers are beginning
to move about from their nights rest.
The bran should be scattered in
such a manner as to cover from four
to five acres with the amount of bait
made by using the ingredients given
in the above formula. Since very
little of the bran mash is eaten after
i1 becomes dry, scattering it broad in
the early morning, and very thinIy,
place it where the largest number
will find it in the shortest time.
Sowing it in this manner also makes
it impossible for birds, barnyard
fowls, or live stock to secure a Suffi-
cienJ amount of the poison to kill
them. On alfalfa fields, in order to
secure the best results, the bait
should be applied after a crop has
been removed and before the new
crop has started. Inasmuch as the
poisoned bait does not act quickly, it
will be from two to four days before
the grasshoppers are found dead,
and these will be more numerous in
the sheltered places 1t does not re-
quire much of the poison to kill
them Even a small portion from
one of the poisoned flakes will be
sufficient to cause death.
Little pigs and poultry are good to
get rid of grasshoppers. Cut this out

HARVEST HAND COMPLAINT


Following the receipts of numerous
complaints from disappointed harvest
hands, the state labor bureau today
started a crusade against questiona-
BILE employment concerns. The first
step in the fight is to rid the state of
alleged illegal employment agencies
was when Paul Mcbride, state labor
commissioner, today notified E. E.
Bates and F. A. Bates of Wichita, to
appear in Topeka and show reason
why their license should not be re-
voked.
Since the opening of the harvest
season in Kansas, many complaints
have been filed with the state de-
partment of labor against various
employment agencies. Most of tile
complaints have been filed against
Wichita companies which have alleg-
ed to have sent men to harvest wheat
in communities where there was no
wheat to harvest. In each instance,
it is claimed, the innocent harvest
hand paid fee for work which he
did not find. That was not all The
men were sent to some remote sec
tion of the state and in many cases
were stranded when they found there
was no work.
In the case of the Bates brothers
it is charged that they sent 80 men to
Wa-Keeney to help harvest the Kan
sas wheat crop. When the men ar
rived they were told that the demand
for men had been met. 1t is claimed
that the Wichita agency sent the
men to northwestern wheat fields
merely on the strength of press dis
patches which recIted the harvest
hands were needed. Each of the SO
men paid SI.0O for the job which he
did not get They also paid their
railroad fare from Wichita to Wa
Keeney.
AS a result of the trouble which
followed the failure of the men to
receive work, near riot was precip-
itated. In an encounter Patrich
O'MaIley of Kansas City is said to have
been shot and dangerously wounded.
No definite date was set for the
Bates hearing. The men have been
notified to come to Topeka and show
cause why their license should not
be revoked. Similar action, it is
asserted may be taken against other
employment agencies.
There is no criminal law under
which the officers of the agency may
be prosecuted, it is stated. The men
who paid for their jobs they did not
receive may recover Judgment for
r. oni fno in oil
but the only steps which the state
can take in the case is to revoke the
license of the offending agency.-Top-
eka State Journal.

men could be used here and
