One OrOfinO Farmer Finds His SiI0 Profitable

Robert Cook, living on the old Fohl
place. at the mouth of Whiskey creek,
informs the Republican that he is
more than satisfied with his success
this year with silo. His cattle
make a great fuss to get their ration,
and thrive exceedingly well on it.
The Cook silo is of the square type.
with the corners boarded, making it
octago and although not recommend
ed by experts, is giving good results
cut green and now Mr. Cook is win
tering his cattle at small cost COM
pared to the old system of dry hay,
with yield of one or two tons per
acre.
1t might pay those interested to
visit the Cook place and personally
inspect this silo, which was con-
structed at small cost in material and
labor. 1t might be profitable to
keep Mr.. Cook in mind and watch the
results at the end of a year.
Inquiry brought out the fact that
Mr.. Cook failed to keep a record of
costs, and does not know exactly how
much per ton the ensilage cost, which
is to be regretted. He is positive,
however, that he is getting a super
ior feed at very much lower cost
than is possible with hay of any kind
with other dry feeds thrown in. Ano
we understood him to say the expert
ment was SO satisfactory that hi
would increase the tonnage in 1916
The Republican would suggest biz

for the purpose of gathering availabl

divorce court is contributing factor;
that if the facts were obtainable it is

ito s: that in Idaho there are tfous-

towards reform schools. He showed
how poor sight, poor hearing, and

and drove home the fact that we owe
il to our ci iloren to have them physi-
cally examined and their defects
looked after.
DR.. Siss IN devoted much time to a
discussion of,,school finance, and told
low the state board was reforming
our public school system so that the
boys and girls could get the max
imum benefits for the time they spend
and the money their education costs.

entertained at the Chamber of Com
merce room, where refreshments were
served. and the people given an op
portunity to meet him.

Tells the People How to Build Dirt Roads S

the road. The injury was done when
the water in the road froze and the
PARTICLES of road surface broken
stone, sand, or still finer PARTICLES of
earth or clay-were pushed apart by
the expanding power of the freezing
water. The thaw merely allows the
ice to melt and assume its original
volume as water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water out of the road. If the
road goes into the winter thoroughly
dry, with the surface and drainage
in good condition, the chances are
extremely favorable that it will come
out all right the following spring.
The job before the road man is to
keep the hard, dry surface formed in
the summer time from becoming
softened by the fall and winter rains
and SHOWS. When the fall rains
begin the earth or gravel road should
be dragged frequently to prevent the
formation of ruts and the collection of
water. All raveled palces on maca-
dam surfaces should be carefully filled
in and consolidated.
During the winter, whenever thaw
is coming on, the cross drains ano
side bitches should be opened up as
far as possible so as TO prevent water
collecting along the roadway. If the
thaw is so pronounced that the road
way is softened, the drag should bs
used; sometimes one round trip with
the drag, with the hitch reversed
will entirely rid the earth of slusI
ard melting snow and leave the roat
surface practically dry. Don't ge
the idea that the drag is not neede'
on your earth and gravel roads in tn
) winter time. Instead, keep it wher
you can get at it readily, for if tn
J winter is an ordinary one you will
) need it many times.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
tur has given out the following rel
ative to dirt roads: Water, not cold,
is the cause of the deterioration of
roads in winter. Cold weather does
not in itself injure roads no matter
whether they are earth, gravel, or
macadam. In fact, an earth road
will stand more traffic when it is
solidly frozen than at any other time.
Excess water, however, is always
detrimental to highway. When cold
weather turns this water into ice, the
damage that it does is greatly in
creased. Ice occupies considerably
more space than the water from which
it is formed, and every person who
has lived in cold climate is familiar
with the powerful bursting effect of
water when left to freeze in con-
fined vessel. The same action takes
place when wet road freezes to any
considerable depth. 1t simply bursts,
or, as we generally term it in road
parlance, the road heaves. Later,
when the frost leaves, the road is dis
intagrated and ruts badly. If this
process is repeated number of times
during the winter, gravel or maca-
dam road may be practically destroyed
while an earth road may become en-
tirely impossible.
A dry road will not heave. Rock,
gravel. sand and even clay when per-
fectly dry contract slightly on freez-
ing. In order to expand on freezing,
these materials must contain or be
mixed with water, and the more water
they contain the greater the expansion
which takes place. But SO long a:
the road remains frozen the damage
does not become apparent.
Hence the frequent and erroneous
idea that it is the thaw which injure
