The silos sprees

The prohibitionist builded better
than they thought, when they put the
country on a bone dry basis, for they
will cause the building Of thousands
Of silos in the country. 1t has been
discovered that the juice that settles
in the bottom of the silo, when corn
stalk siIo is cured therein, contains
81 per cent of aIchohol, and 1t is an
easy job to get on a silo spree, at any
old time. An ordinary silo contains
several barrels of the stuff with a
kick that will stun an army mule, but
all you have to do is to put a faucet
at the bottom Of the silo bin, and tap
the till whenever you feel like going
on a silo spree. The stuff is said to
be as fry as a red headed girls dis
position, but a little sa1aratus put in
to a jug of the juice, and let for a few
hours, takes all the inflamitory propen-
stiles out of it, and it is as mild as a
Ford car crank in its kick. If this
scheme is as satisfactory as it is said
to be, then the cattle busine is bound
to boom, for every man that can grow
a few corn stalks, will have a si1o
and of necessity will have to keep a
lot Of cattle to eat that part Of the
contents that he can't drink. The
agricultural department has been
spending thousands of dollars trying
to get our farmers to build silos, but
with only meager success, when along
comes prohibition and everybody
wants a siIo, and wants it quickly.
The prospects for more meat will
be greatly increased, and every farm
er will have his own liquor It home,
without fear of being charged with
operating an illicit still.
