LINIMENT V THE HORRY HM YOU CAN BE BUILDER OF YOUR OWN SILO How the Horry Farmer Can Make For Himself a Useful Building FARMERS IN WEST KNOW THEIR VALUE Article Says That The Silo Will Help to Win This War. The silo was never so valuable to the farmer as it is now in furnishing one of the best mean3 of reducing food bills. It can be made on the farm with little trouble, of either wood rr concrete, says the United States Department of Agriculture, which will urnish plans and specifications without cost.

Advantages of the Silo. Among the advantages claimed fot the silo, particularly at this time when the high price of grain threatens the very existence of the dairy industry, is that less grain may be fed without reducing milk production, provided the dairyman feeds more silage and legume hay. It is pointed out that the building of silos at this time is like the building of ships or fortifications; the silo will help to win the war because it means the saving of grains. Less grain is available for the feeding of cr-ttle, since it is needed for human food and must be conserved for that need. Yet milk production must be maintained, and 'his can be done by supplementing a| I shortened grain ration with silage, j The silo offers the best way of preserving the mature corn crop, 40 per cent of the food value of which is | in the stalks and leaves. It also saves the crop which, for any reason, must be harvested before it is mature. When the farmer harvests only the ?ars of com he loses nearly half the -alue of the crop; when he puts it into j ;he silo the loss is very small. When drought, frost, or insects threaten a field of corn before it is ripe the entire crop may be lost unless the farmer has a silo ready in which to pre| serve it. ! n . vaiue 01 succulence. Just as fruits and green vegetable, ire canned to supply succulence to '.he family during the winter, the silc supplies succulence to the cow, an', ucculence adds to the milk flow. Th<~ ibundant milk flow obtained from .'ur.c pasture is, to a large extent, due to the juices of the grass; the silo pre /ides a similar juiciness during wincr, when pasture is not available. It promotes the health of dairy cattle by providing the coarse feed to which '.l'c digestive system of the cow is accustomed. Cows like silage, and no >ther feed combines so well with dry my and grain to produce much milk at little cost. Type of Silos Recommended.

O. c?? for home construction are the concrete, the stave, the modified Wisconsin, and the woodest-hoop type, all of which preserve silage equally well. The concerete silo has the advantage of permanence and stability, but has a higher initial cost. The stave silo is cheaply, easily, and quickly constructed, and there are more of them in the United States than of any other type. The modified Wisconsin Is hiade of boards nailed laterally on the inside of studding plaeed in the form of a circle, and is said to be more substantial than the stave silo. The wood ' en-hoop silo requires somewhat less material than either of the other two types of wooden silos, and may be built of 1 by, 4 inch tongue-andgroove flooring, with hoops of homo-1 grown material, such as oak, elm, ash, or chestnut from the farm wood lot. Anyone who desires to build a silo should call on the extension department of the State agricultural college for any assistance that may be needed. If the college is unable iv give the desired help, the United States Department of Agriculture will furnish, free of cost, bills of material and specifications for various dimensions of any of the silos, GERMANY IS SEIZED BY SEA MUTINY Statement Turns Reichstar Into Threat of Wildest Snanrial Amsterdam.

The Vossische Zeitung describes the .ttack on the independent SooiulisU v* a deplorable and illegal trick on he part of the government. The Tageblatt contends that if the cichstag believes that the independent Socialists are guilty they must '>c* handed over to the court. The Koelnische Zeitung expresses surprise that the government, when t had such strong proofs of guilt against three persons suspected of treason it did not ask the consent of the reiehstag to take legal measures.
