the food value Is practically equal. In
the sections of the state where corn
is raised with difficulty the silo has
proved Of special value.
SilO Has Worked Wonders.
The silo has worked wonders in
stimulating the dairying industry in
Kansas. There are wonderful Oppor-
tunities in this state for the dairy
man, and within a few years Kansas
undoubtedly will be one OF the great
dairy states of the Union. There is
already a decided Improvement in the
quality of dairy cattle in the state.
The following brief editorial in the
recent special silo issue of the Kan
sas Farmer is to the point:
The Kind OF SiIo.
Once a man is convinced of the
value of silage he seeks information
as to the kind of silo he should build
This matter cannot be definitely de-
termined for him. The man who
wants a silo knows his own conditions
and circumstances best Nearly all
silos keep silage. Some cost more
than others. Some are, on account of
material and construction, less per-
manent than others A man must de-
eide for himself whether he will in
vest a smaller amount in silo that
will last from fifteen to twenty years,
OF invest a larger amount of money
in a silo that will last longer. Any
kind of silo must have attention Care
will add years to the life of any silo.
The very best of any material may
prove a failure il neglected Hence
the things to determine upon are
these: Build Silo; Build a Good
One: Take Care of 1t and you will
succeed.
Editors note: This is the first of
a new series of articles on agriculture
in Kansas by F. l. S. to be published
in the State Journal.)

General J. c. Caldwell.
At the time of his death several
years ago General Caldwell was one
of the two surviving Civil war n
erals. He was a man of unusual at
tainments. Not only did he gain dis
tinction in the war, but his record as
a diplomat and a scholar in subse-
auent years was an envia BILE one. He
represented the United States as min
lister in several South American states.
He translated his English books into
Spanish as he read, having been a mas
ter of that language.

The bill goes farther in the way of
rural credits than any measure yet
proposed. and its author declares it
comes nearer serving the farmer than
any of them.
Under the terms of the measure the
farmer. rather than the money lender,
fixes the amount of his Indebtedness
and the interest rate. Bonds, inclu 4
ing a first mortgage provision, are to
be issued for long periods, the time
limit being 20 years. The farmer who
issues them then hunts a market for
his bonds, much as the corporation or
city issuing bonds does.

easily. cuts out double mortgages on

a step in the right direction, and real
ly accompanies almost no good.
