There is no best silo, generally
speaking. The best silo for us is
the one which can be put up at
the least expense. Oftentimes a
silo that will last only eight or
ten years will be cheaper in the
long run, than one that is put up
to stand for forty or more years.
Where no money is available to
build an upright silo,, good silage
can be had by constructing a pit
silo and filling it. This kind of
silo is easy to build, costs little to
fill, as no expensive machinery is
needed to cut and blow the corn
into it. Corn is stacked into it

Former Senator Magnus John
son is tuning up to go against the
governor in the fall election, and
if he yields to those urging him
to make the attempt he is due for
the classiest drubbing of his up
midtown political career.
Should Senator Johnson get in
to the contest, those who will en-
gineer the campaign are undecid-
ed so far whether he should en-
ter as a Farmer-Labor choice, or
try out as an Independent. Farm
er-Labor leaders are as we'll
aware of the fact as anyone that
their one-time powerful organiza-
ton is On the down grade, and
that it probably is the part of
wise, political policy to not
undertake any more campaigns
under the party label.
Leaders Confer.
The leaders have been holding
number of conferences, in
which Senator Johnson has par
ticipated, when the problem has
been worked over from all angles.
Senator Johnson also is head of
the Farmer-Labor association, an
adjunct of the party, which is
supposed to carry on educational
work, but which really functions
as a feeler out of sentiment Of
ficers of the association met in
St. Paul during state fair week,
and have been meeting since,
while correspondence among
them and their scouts have
steadily increased.
While they naturally are Sc
-retive about the results, the
general attitude they manifest
indicate a growing conviction on
their part that the policy for
1926 is to try out the indepen-
dent role.
UUI OF primary.
This would keep the Farmer
Labor party out of the primary
election, leaving its members free
to go in and try to muddle up
Republican affairs. After the
primary the candidates would be
filed by petition for the fall con-
test.
Early in the yeaA if not be-
fore, an announcement is expect
ed from Senator Johnson as to
whether or not he will be can
didate for governor, and if he
is candidate the manner in
which he will endeavor to realize
his ambition.

the residents of Minnesota for
free training in the above and Of
her lines.
Each year an increasing num-
Der of boys and men from all over
the state of Minnesota come to
Dunwoody, especially during the
late fall and winter months, and
secure training in their chosen
line.
In the early spring these boys
and men return to their own
homes better fitted to carry on
their daily work.
Dunwoody Institute is very
much interested in increasing it's
service to the people throughout
the state to conform to the de-
sires of it's founders and trustees.
Why not consider getting some
additional training at Dunwoody?
Dunwoody Institute subscribes
to policy of giving it's students
training of practical value. We
urge boys and men to get all of
the education in the public school
system that they can and then af-
ter they have gone to work, to ac-
quire additional training in TIER
chosen line by attending one of
the better training institutions.
The University Farm School,
supported by the taxpayers, fur
nishes training for people in agri-
cultural lines and is doing an ex-
cellent piece of work.
| Dunwoody Institute, a gift to
the residents of the state, is doing
the same kind of training in in
dustrial lines. This institution
does not cost the taxpayers of the
State a cent for it's support, but
is none the less deserving of your
careful consideration.

(By Geo. O. Jorgensenl

A silo should be a part Of the
permanent improvements on ev-
cry farm. There is no doubt as
to its advantages. 1t is essential
for the economical feeding of
livestock, and especially for the
production of milk. The results
of hundreds of feeding expert
ments conducted in the past
twenty years with silage as a
part of the ration give proof OF
its great value to the farmer.
A great many of our old me-
thods are wasteful. There will
always be more or less of the
corn crop shocked in the field,
but corn left exposed to weather
loses from Is to 80 per cent
of it's feeding value. Why waste
the crop after you have grown it,
when you can put it in silo and
preserve it with all it's succu-
lence?
There is very little loss in feed
ing silage. When you feed fod-
der to cattle, there is a great deal
of loss. Cattle refuse to eat the
stalks and they are wasted.
The acids and juices in the ST.
lage aid digestion and help the
stock to utilize other feeds such
as oat straw and other cheap
roughages. For mich cows pro-
ducing milk it is not advisable to
feed oat straw, etc. because it les
sens their capacity to produce
milk by lowering the digestible
nutriments in the ration. One
Of the good things about the silo
is that any of the forage crops
properly sliced make good feed,
but corn is the best crop for the
silo. United States Farmers
Bulletin, 556, furnishes twelve
good reasons why every farmer
should have a silo:
l. More feed can be stored in
a given space than in the form of
fodder or h2v.
2. The - is a smaller loss of
food material when a crop is
made into silage than when cured
as fodder or hay.
8. Corn silage is better feed
than corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn can be
placed in a silo at less cost than

Dick felt relieved. French, pre-

But still she smiled the same un-

Dick wrinkled his brow. "Fraulein,

that.
Struck with an idea, he pointed to

her arm through his. There was no
mistaking the fact that she wanted his

wait in the station, the half hour on
the suburban express was without incl

girl insisted on paying, her elevated

none the less successfully. Dick bought
her magazine, but she seemed con-

strangeness of the situation and stole
surreptitious glances at her sweet pro-
