SILO INFORMATION

Silos are no longer an experiment
they are a cuccess. They are tc

vegetable crops, and like the tin can
which reduces the cost Of supplying
the family table, the silo reduces
1.-The cost Of feeding livestock. They
have an additional advantage-they
may be used year after year, and II
your silo is built Of concrete it will
become stronger year after year in
stead Of deteriorating.
The silo is best adapted where
corn and sorghums are easily grown.
1t is most often found on livestock
farms but it has been shown to be
a profitable investment on truck
and tobacco farms. Silage may be
fed to any kind Of livestock and its
use for w~intering mules has been
proved satisfactory and profitable.
1t provides forage the year round.
Dairy farmers have found the silo
especially valuable in milk produc-
ton. To make the silo a profitable
investment, however, a farmer
should have at least ten cows or
the equivalent Of this number Of
other stock, says the University Of
Florida extension division.
The size Of the silo will depend
upon the amount of silage to b. fed
daily. Silage should be removed
from the top at the ra4e of two to
three inches daily the warmer the
weather during use the more silage
must be removed to the surface daily
to prevent spelling. A common error
in building is to make the diameter
too large for the size Of the herd.
The weight Of a cubic foot Of silage
varies with the height Of the silo but
in one thirty feet high it win aver
age about forty pounds. So, by
knowing the amount Of silage to be
fed daily, it is possible to estimate
what the diameter Of the silo should
be to permit the removal Of a GER
tain number Of inches each day.
A 900-pound COW viii ordinarily
consume 80 pounds Of silage a day,
a 1900 pound cow about 40 pounds.
Yearlings will eat about one-half
as much as mature animals; fatten-
ing cattle, Is to 35 pounds for each
1000 pounds of live weight. Horses
should be limited to Is or 20 pounds
daily.
After determining the diameter
of silage that will be required dur
ing the season, determine the

DARK C BRUTES
BY Ellis Parker Butler Of the
Vipilantes

Vigilantes
Make no mistake about the Ger
man Empire. Have no pity for it. 1t
is not a modern nation. 1t is a Mid
die Age brute.
In the Dark Ages the robber bar
ons were the curse of Europe. From
their castles they sailed forthwith
bludgeons and battle-axes, riding
rough shod over the lands of their
friends, raiding and robbing their
neighbors, holding captives for ram
som, stealing food, money and vir-
gins, making the outraged lands
pay the expenses Of the raids that
ruined them.
England, France, Russia, Italy,
Canada, Australia, the United States
all these, as they entered this
present war, planned great systems
Of war tax finance, but Germany
did not. You hear now and then that
the German war finance plan was
different. 1t was. The German plan
was the plan of the brutes Of the
Dark Ages. The German Chancellor
has explained it. The cost Of the
war would be met by indemnities ex-
acted from Germany's enemes.
Put in plain words thus: For
years Germany sat hugging her
bludgeon, boarding her money,
talking and toasting "The Dayv'
"The Day of what? The Day when,
like the brutes of the Middle Ages,
she would pounce on her neighbors,
rob them Of land and wealth, leave
them wrecked bleeding and ruined.
''The Day" meant the day Of the
raid; the Day when the same old
robber lust would have its same old
glut of slaughter and rapine. Ger
many needed no war tax systems!
Her PROSTATE victims would pay for
the war.
Well. but! Like a brute she
strobe cro her friendly neighbor,
Belgium. When The Day came she
put her foot on Belgium's face and
leaped at the throat of France. She
hoped to have France begging for
mercy before England could raise
her hand in help. She would turn
and th-ottle Russia before England
awoke, and France and Russia,
bleeding and PROSTATE, would empty
their Golfers. France and Russia,
PROSTATE, were Germany's war tax
system. Robber baron! The Dark
Age c~ut-throat come again. q
But the foot slipped. The plan
Went askew. Today Germany-the
Of Germany-are just learn
ing that the Robber Kaiser is not to
come home with hands dripping
gold. ."What! we must pay?
Colt i'm Himmel, what for a Robber
is this"5A SIC ss.
Buck up, America! Stand fast,
Yet a little longer and they
will be hanging Robber Kaiser and
Robber Kaiserlings in Germany. Oh,
golly! What a rage-fest there will
be in Germany when the people
earn the truth!

WASHINGTON, May 11-Sensation- al charges that a lobby of food gam bleTs, some of them men of immense wealth." already is at work in Wash ington seeking to defeat the adminis- tration food control bills, were made tonight in a formal statement by As sistant Secretary Vrooman of the de- partment of agriculture.
 "AllieS of the kaiser-unpatriotic and disloyal-who should be made to feel the loathng and contempt of every patriotic American are some Of the characterization placed by MT. Vroo- man to food spectators, food cor nerers, and food gamblers who, he promises will in time be touched by appropriate legislation.
 Secretary Vrooman's statement fol- lows:
 Never in the history of the world have business men shown as much pat riotism and unselfishness as have been manifested since the war began by the business men of America. An over wneimIng majority of them have been as ready 10 place their business organ izatiOns and their personal services and their wealth at the disposal Of the federal government in this crisis as the young men have been to do the actual fighting
 However this attitude has not been universal. There are food spectators. food cCrnerers, and food gamblers, some of them men of immense wealth and others of very small means. who are today taking advantage of war con- ditions to exploit their fellow citizens to the full extent of their ability These men are allies of the kaiser and are do- ing their utmost to defeat the patriotic purposes of the nation Wherever they are seen, in high places or in low, they should be condemned and made to feel the bathing and contempt of every patriotic American. These men will be taken care of in due time by national state and municipal legislation. But until such legislation can be enacted. the only effective power that can be brought agTinst them is the power of an outraged public sentiment and that should be used vigorously and merci- lessly

ONE MAN WILL SPEND BILLIONS
 FOR ALLIES N THIS COUNTRY

By it's creation. domestic conditions prevalent in this country for the last two decades, under which the big pro- ducer assumed the dominance in all markets, would be almost completely reversed. Not the producer but the buyer would be the dominant factor for there would be but one buyer for the belliserent nations.
 The plan involves no fixing of prices. however. First efforts will be confined 10 a program eliminating competitive bidding.
 Were there no check upon the efforts of the allies to satisfy individual re- quirements in this country, it is realized that their united demands would send prices soaring.
 Upon ratification of the proposed agreement, the personnel of the pur- chasing commission will be designated by this government. It will have not more than five members. The entire responsibility may be vested in one man.
 American needs, naturally. will come first. The needs of the allies will take the next place. and after they are satis- fled, it is expected that residue of production will be available for neu- trals.
 Because of the great work involved. tabulation of estimates Of subscriptions 1 to the Liberty loan has been discon- tinued. Actual subscriptions will be ! received as soon as the subscriptions blanks can be made available. Among the formal offers to subscribe received today was one from the Woodmen of the World at Denver for $100,000

Coalition Ministry Proposed

PETROGRAD May 10.-(Via Lon don, May 11.)-The government, in making the suggestion of a coalition ministry, appears to have put the issue squarely up to the socialists. The move is seemingly an effort to remedy the anomalous situation in which the country finds itself through having a nominal government with the power lodged elsewhere Yesterdays call upon the socialists. as represented by the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers delegates was by way of shifting some of the responsibility for government upon the elements which wield the power and who assume the right to di- rect, criticize and thwart the acts of the ministry.
 In endeavoring to determine what it is that socialists want, the ministers have developed the fact that there is a wide divergence of opinion among the socialistic groups, but that they are practically united in desire to evade responsibility for the government oi their country. The suggestion that hand in directing the difficult affairs of the nation met with a flat refusa on the part of Moscow council of depu- ties and the "bolshi vil1e," meaning tho extreme lefters, in Petrograd The proposal elicited only slight support 1T the Petrograd council of deputies Among the latter, out of six prominent leaders interviewed only two, Stan (Continued on Page Two,
