Another Reason.

Another reason for the enactment of the
presidents selective c%onscription bill has
been found right here in Wichita. Wichita
boys are not enlisting in the National
guard. One reason why they are not j.
that their employers don't want them to.
After they have enlisted the employer
doesn't know what day they may be called
ont. leaving him III the llrch. OF course
the employer ought to be patriotic and help
the boys 10 enlist. Yet the employer has Ia
look after his business. or il viii 60 10 pot.
So, being but an average man, he doesn't
grow wildly enthusiastic over encouraging
enlistment. The Selectivc draft bill Will
end all that. Thos bows not needed nj

lott- Bly~ aud employers alike will no
longer Ia left in Doubt. Ii will end all dis

Market FOR Bees
BY 7. B. Paddock, State Entom0logist.

\ plea has just been received nj the

not been favorable for Il large honey yield
and it j. expected that there can be found
places where there j. 4 surplus Of honey
bees. In Utah. Idaho. Montana and Colo
RADIO there have been excessive losses
among bees but prospects for a good
money crop are now IN sight. Ii has been
suggested by Dir. +. F.. Phillips, in charge
OF agricultural Investigations of the t.. s.
department of agriculture. that bees could
be shipped from Texas To these states that
have suffered heavy losses. This will be
done by shipping pound packages of comb
less bees. Il trade which il not new in

tam how many bees may b. offered for
sale Ia the above mentioned state. Mr..

nent parties in those states To find out

Frank Graves OF whitehall put up

years ago, Is an ordinary stave Or

There has been little freezing, but
not at all serious. SO satisfactory
has tho silo been and so valuable the
silage, that next summer Mr. Graves lis

two silos will provide feed tho year

this silo? Peas and outs Twelve acres
were required. tho SO pounds OF peas

BUSHELS of oats. Harvested with the
ordinary hay mower and rake, run i'm
mcdiately through II common silage
cutter with II stream of water running
into the blower; 100. to lao pounds
of peas with the Ia bushels of oats
would give n better yield.
Mr.. Graves states that peas and
oats stlage costs $3.50 n ton In the silo
and that the feeding value is equal

With cows that had been milkiig six
months, he has increased the milk flow

Construction in Detail.

In order to save on the labor of ex-
cavating, we recommend making the
finished floor level about three feet
below the natural grade, and using
what earth is removed from the mole
TO throw up an embanlsment around
the cellar. This will secure the desired
depth below ground at the least ex-
pense. Tho walls should be built Of
stone, brick or concrete, and the floor
