Heved the best to be procured was

Ed LANCER, who lives three miles
south of town, built silo last fall 1t
is 16x32 and estimated to hold 100
TONS II has a six foot pit and is well
built. AS Mr.. LANCER yearly feeds
about fifty head of cattle he will have
plenty of stock to eat the silage and /
am sure his only regret viii be that
he did not have silo years ago. 4
still claim to meet the first farmer
who has a silo that regrets building
one. am going to predict that in
less than ten years a majority of the
farms of the county will have silos.
i know of several farmers who have
put up their second one.
Ex-President Aaft was talking to-
"a farmer and asked him why it was
that farm products cost so much
more than formerly. "They don't of
themselves" replied the farmer. 1T
is because farmer has got to know
so much more" why said the ex-
president, does that affect the
price? ?" WELL" replied the farmer,
when farmer is supposed to know
the botanical name of what he's rails
in, an the chronological name of
the insect that eats it, an the phar-
maceutical name of the chemical that
will kill the insect, somebody's got to
pay him for getting the knowledge"
Ss o.
a I received word this week Of the
death Of a nephew in the service.
There is not going to be all rejoicing
when the boys come marching home.
Many sad face will be hid behind
the curtains when the surviving he
roes march through the streets. There
will be cheers for the living and tears
for the dead. AS we think of these !
things there is no wonder that the
world hates those who bring on the
wars, and tears from our sides those
whom we love.
Sometimes cipher represents moth
ing and other times it represents con.
siderable. For instance, lasttweek an |
extra cipher made us say a-Missouri
steer weighed $500 pounds when it
should have been $3.50. Even at that |
it was some steer.
