LORENTz RITzMAN INSPtCTS
SllOS IN NORTHERN COLO.

More silos are going up on the
farms and ranches in Colorado this
year than at any previous period. The
high cost of feed is the reason and
the big food value and cheap cost of
ensilage is making big boom in silo
construction. Those who have tried
it say that silos pay big to anyone who
has eight head of stock or more to
feed.
Mr.. Lorentz Ritzman of Canon City
has made two special trips to north
ern Colorado lately to study the va
rious phases of silo construction at
first hand. He has started manufac-
turing silos here and wanted TO get
some special information. He is agen:
for Fremont and Custer counties for
the Playford Cement Stave Sno,
which he makes in his factory on
South Ninth street The Playford is
the original cement stave silo.

GRASS CLIPPINGS FOR
THE POULTRY STOCK.

Washington, June 2l--Grass clip
pings are an excellent green feed for
chickens. The back yard poultry flock
of a family often lacks sufficient green
feed with a consequent reduction OF
egg and meat production With the
easy availability of lawn clippings the
city poultryman can always have
green feed thru the summer for his
chickens The flock can be fed daily
as much of the green clippings as
they will eat. II any continued bowel
trouble shows, the amount should be
reduced. The remainder of the Clip
pings can be allowed to dry and fed
moisted during the time between
lawn cuttings.
Amounts IN excess can be ried for
winter use. Dried grass clippings are
good green feed for winter. They
can be dried and stored in sacks.
These dried clippings. moistened and
fed to the flock. are very fair substi-
tute for the succulent feeds of sum
mer.
