Florida Press Sentiment
On Woman Suffrage

The editors of the Clearwater Sun,
Cfipley Verdict, South Florida Sen
tinel, Orlando Reporter-Star, Lake
land Telegram, and the Meridian
Dispatch, which, of course, is not a
state paper. were certainly not I'M
favorable In a later issue the Pa
latka News, the Jacksonville State,
and Bristol Free Press had COM
ments, none of which expressed any
disfavor towards suffrage. The State
is and has been since it's founding
an open advocate of woman suffra? e.
The St Augustine Meteor is another
paper commenting without express
sion of disfavor. Henry S. McKen-
nall, editor of the Times Herald of
Putnam county, expressed his per-
sonal belief in suffrage, but believed
that the public needed to be educat-
ed along suffrage lines.
This edition was published little
wore than a year ago. At that time
there was much suffrage sentiment
in Florida, and this interest is rap
idly growing. in spite of the vicious
interests which have worked against
suffrage in the legislature and in the
state from the beginning. If there
were no interest in the state anon 2
the women. would this question
have been brought up before two
Legislatures?
Suffrage sentiment is strong in
Florida. and this State has what, so
far as | know, no other state in the
union has strin2 of newspapers,
rapidly charging itself, which carry
.uffra2e news regularly.

explained to the looking

When Bert returned to the veranda
from his room, Jane had solved the
mystery.
I've been looking at your read book

the inn is to turn at the second road

the owner doesn't care whether he

BUILD A SILO
County Representative Gunderson Tells the
Farmer Why He Should Build Sio and
How to Do So. Cost is Not Prohibitive.
More Cows, Better Feed, More Creameries


Nearly every farmer desires silo
but many think that the cost is 50
great that they cannot afford to build
one. This is a mistake. 1t is not
necessary to build brick or tile silo
costing nearly $500 neither is it nec>
essary to buy commercial stave silo
of fancy western woods costing
around $500. 1t is the purpose of
this article to show that a small
stave silo, large enough to feed 6 to
8 cows can be built for an outlay of
$50, and an excellent, large cement
silo to feed from % to 80 cows can be
built by the farmer him self for an
outlay of about 800 At these prices
a farmer CAN NOT AFFORD TO BE
WITHOUT SILO.
sTAvE sILO
For a small silo 2x4 slaves are all
right A small silo is easily frightened
up and is not apt to blow down For
a silo 10 feet in diameter about 80
pieces of 2x4 slaves are required, 16
feet long. If it is desired to build a
silo 20 feet high the lengths may be
spliced. The lumbe for the doorway,
chute and roof will cost about $40.
The 2x4 slaves will cost about 500.
This leaves the cement for foot
pit and the wall to be bought and
this will cost less than $40.
Such a silo will hold about 25 tons of
silage sufficient to feed COWS fer 6
months. The cost will be less than
$50. Three acres of fair corn will fill

This silo is within the reach of


all.
CEMENT SILo
For building a cement silo forms
are necessary. A set will be secured
from the University and small fee
charged to pay for wear and tear. 1t
will not exceed $40. A silo 80 feet
high above ground and feet below
the ground, II feet in diameter will
require about 140 sacks of cement,
roof and all to be of cement. Such a
silo will hold "a tons of silage, enough
to feed % cows for six months, Ten
acres of corn will fill it. The silo can
be built without any expert labor
hired, and should not cost more than
500. Needless to say it will last for
ever without a bit of repair. Now at
these prices no farmer that feeds
dairy cows can afford to be without
silo. No food known for dairy cows
will promote the health of the stock
and produce the milk flow better than
salage. The work of feedinS is less
than with any other feed.
Next summer large number
of silos will be built. / will superin-
tend the building and save you from
hiring expert labor. Will be pleased
to hear from all that intend building
silos, so a proper schedule can be
arranged. If do not see you in the
near future write for further infor-
nation.
