Thie materials out of which the silo is built should be strong enough to withstand great press uire. The cost should be from $2 to $5 per ton ecapaiety if the total capacity is to exceed 100 tons. A silo should be placed as near as possible to the place where the silage is to be fed. One hu:idred tons of silage will feed 25 head of stock for 200 days. A silo 14 feet in dinmeter and .15 feet high will hold 100 tons of silage. Any kind of good 'silo is it valanble pilece o property oil the farm where live stock is to be- fed.

She says further: "Before I began too use Cardul, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework.
