At Sals-puede c'get out If you

after eight hours Of sCrambing and
wading through mud and water, Mr..
Cherries mule slipped in deep pool
of thin mud and became tangled IN the
roots at the bottom, pinning the foot
OF the rider under it. Mr.. Cherrie was

| The advantage of having compact

this locality. The jamming of ba6oage
tween saplings or in a washedout
gully would neccssitate a halt and
while the load on the mule that had
caused the halt was being recinched,
dozen other mules would start ex-
plorins the neighborng thickets.

thrown into confusion and all the pack
animals would have to be rounded up
and the packs readjusted.

tBy A. s. NEALE, in Charge OF Silo Con-
struction, Extension Division. Kansas
State Agricultural College)
During the past, year a great many
pit silos have been built in western
Kansas. This type is suitable only to
semiarid or arid sections. There is
large proportion of the territory lying
between the ninety ninth meridian and
the Sierra Nevada mountains that IS
suitable for the construction Of these
silos. East Of the ninety-ninth meri-
dian they should not be built except in
very rare locations, where the land is

depth desired, keeping the wall per-
pendcular and smooth, and plastering
with cement plaster to thickness or
thTee-fourths to one inch over the
dirt. These silos can in most cases
be built at total cost Of not to ex-
coed $1.00 per ton capacity for labor
and materials, and when properly con-
structed in suitable locations, are per-
manent.
They cannot be constructed accord
ing to the above plan where the soil
is so sandy that 1t will not stand up
In such cases 1t Is necessary to put In
q retaining wall of masonry, the ex-
pense of which will usually be as
much as the construction of a silo
above ground.
These pit silos are not only very
economical to build, but they can be
filled very cheaply, as only light en-
gines and cutters are necessary for
this purpose They are particularly to
be recommended for the small isolated
farmer of the great plains region, who
wishes to own his silo-flling machin-
cry, and whose available capital is lin
tied. To take the silage out hoist
ing apparatus, either swinging crane
| or an overhead track Is used, lifting the
silage in a container with hinged
bottom, so that the feed may be dump
ed into a wagon box or silage distrib-
utor, as desired. In cases where an
overhead track is used, the feed may
be taken directly from the container
and placed before the animals. The
experience of farmers who have been
using the pit also is very sa factory,
| and this will undoubtedly be the prin-
cipal type of silo built in the future
! in the semiarid sections.

tocracy. If it is democracy it is

zone poor general is better than
two good ones" said Napoleon.
The cornerstone of discipline and
efficiency in an army is the fact that
the commissioned officers form a So
cial class entirely distinct from that

action is secured by perfect obedi-
ence only Soldiers will not obey an
officer who eats and drinks with

aud militarism can not exist
