One day last week bunch of 800
head of cattle on the Smoky was
stampeded by hail storm and
twenty-five head were crowded into
a big canyon and killed. M. 7. Flick
had 100 head in the herd and not a
one of his was in the number that
was killed.-Grinnell Record.
All the windows in the west side
of the High School building were
broken by hail Monday night. Then
some one with a most contemplate
disposition has broken several of the
windows on the other side of the
building. 1t would have been a good
investment to have all the windows
screened.-Quinter Advocate.
A young man in this city is in
something of quandry- A short time
ago in procuring q marriage license
he gave his age as 27, but failed to

excuse that he is more than 81 years
old and consequently is not subject to
registration The officers are now in
vestigating and the young man will
probably know in a short time just
what his age is. We have heard of
women dodging the age issue but this
is about the first instance where a
man tries to adopt the plan.-Russell

sold at $1,000 to S11.OO. Shipments

SILO BUILDING IN WESTERN
KANSAS

A. S. Neale, a silo and live stock
expert of the Kansas State Agricul-
ture College, is helping the Fort Hays
Experiment Station force in holding
twelve meetings in, Rocks, Ellis and
Trego counties thiSweek. At the first
of these meetings at Demar, District
Agent w. A. Boys, had the following
to say about silos in his district.
sSSeveral Western Kansas farmers
have reported that their silos have
easily paid for themselves the past
year This was because feed was
stored IN the silo when plentiful and
cheap, making il unnecessary to buy
feed at the high prices that have pre-
vailed. On account of the possibil-
ity of continued high prices of feed
there is a greater nee! of the silo
than ever before. 1t is always inpor-
tant for the Western Kansas farmer
to store up feed in years of plenty for
years of short crops.
AFTER deciding to put in silo,
about the first thing to consider is
what type of silo is the best. This
may vary some with conditions. How
ever, a permanent type of silo is
usually advisable. A silo that will not
burn or blow down represents a safe
investment
''The next thing to decide is the
expense of different silos of this char
acter. The pit silo, if properly con-
structed is a satisfactory, permanent
type of silo and represents the least
amount of money invested. Some of
these silos have been constructed for
cash outlay of $25 and some were
less.
"The pit silos now in the best con-
dition are those that have had some
covering to protect from rains. The
plastering was at least one inch
thick and of good rich mixture. It
is also important to bank up earth
around the curb to shed all water
so it will not run down the walls
eff some one prepares to build an
above ground silo, among others, the
concrete, or metal lath plastered are
good silos that can be depended upon
to give satisfactory results"

There was a time when the cowboys

But Wa-Keeney has never been the

County gold there in the late '90s,
when Wa-Keeney "bit" for all the
spare change it had in its pockets.

Miss Blanche Smith is a special
student in the college. She is also
from Wa-Keeney.

student. She is a junior in home

A H Acre of Wa-Keeney, is a
popular student. He is a sophomore
in industrial journalism and belongs
to the dramatic society
The extension division maintains
correspondence courses that are open
to all persons desiring to take up
study at home. Several persons in
Trego county are enrolled in home
study work.
As Trego county has no farm
bureau, the division. of extension is
slightly handicapped in it's work, bat
alton with the extension division
have built up a good, annual farmers
institute at Wa-Keeney.
All departments of the college are
ready and willing to give advice and
aid to the farmer at all times The
department of entomology performs
invaluable services to the farmer by
identifying insect pests and working
out practicable methods for their ex-
termination.
Trego county is represented by IL
students at the Kansas State Agri-
culture college. These are all earn
est, alert young people who are max

Of the IL enrolled in the last year,
six chose the short course while the
other five registered in four years
courses.

he is right by sending sainple. of

the expensive SeedS Sucn as aiIaiLa

seeds and cheat.
The chemistry department will
under the direction of pr. ]. T.
Willard examine and analyze any
stock foods and remedies, patenl
medicines, and samples of soils that
are sent to the department This is
a valuable service to the farmer, es-
pecially in the case of patent med
icine or stock food.
The experiment station does an
| important work 1t carries on exper-

of crops to grow on different soils,
rotation of crops, grain rations for
fattening and growing stock, and the
value of different hay crops for feed

tions, and while the top price remain
ed the same as top yesterday, bulk of
sales were slightly lower, at $500
to $Io-55, light hogs STATS to s15.75.
The agitation fayoring economy is
cutting down consumption of pork
and lard in some degree and is res
ponsible for weakness in prices rec
emily. At the same time purchases
by the government cannot but be a
stimulus, although conducted in a
very quiet manner. Conditions are
easily shifted under the existing war
situation, but in view of supply stat
istics for the next three months at
least prices should remain at a high
range
Sheep and Lambs
The advance of 25 cents yesterday
was followed by another gain of al
most as much today, best native
spring lambs at $3.50, common
Arizona spring lambs $500 which
prices are at either end of the full
range. Ewes are selling at $3.50 to
$10-5O, wethers at slightly higher
range. Goats are rather scarce,
brusher Angoras worth $3.50 to $500,
fat Angoras $500 to 1925, white
goats $3.50 to 800.
