Pit Silo Cheapest Kind
The pit silo is the cheapest
kind that can be built and is pro-
bably the only kind available for
many men of moderate means
It is highly recommended by
Mr Cottrell The following in-
formation concerning it is from
an authority on the subject:
Naturally there are a few ob-
jections to the pit silo but it has
been demonstrated by a number
of dry land farmers in recent
years that silage keeps perfectly
in properly constructed silos of
this type
Locating The Silo
In order that a pit silo may be
a success the soil where it is
located must be firm dry and
well drained A pit silo should
never be built in a humid region
The silo should be located con-
venient to tbe place where the
silage is to be fed It is often
very desirable to dig it at the
end of the barn to build a small
shed over it and to handle the
silage with a carrier similar to
the little carrier on the common
hay carrier equipment "Where
feed lots are located near a steep
bank it might be desirable to
build the silo near the bank so
as to have a series of doors on
oner" side These would then
have to be reinforced Each case
would have to be considered
separately and would require
individual planning
Size of Silo to Build
The size of silo to build will de-
pend upon the number of cattle
and other livestock to be fed and
thelength of the feeding period
Silage is usually fed to cows and
beef cattle at the rate of thirty
to forty pounds per day there-
fore in two hundred days a cow
or steer would require from
three to four tons
Shape of Silo
The round silo is by far the
most satisfactory and most eco-
nomical to build The walls
must be absolutely perpendicu-
lar and smooth so as to facilitate
the packing and even settling of
the silage
Constructing The Curb
After having decided upon the
location and size of the silo to be
built the ground must be made
perfectly level’ as this will help
to keep the walls perpendicular
in digging A short stake is
driven firmly in the ground
where the center of the silo is to
be Assumming that the silo is
to be eight feet in diameter a
light board say a lxl about six
feet long is procured A nail is
then driven through one end of
the board into tbe steak At a
distance of four feet from the
nail a small hole is bored Six
inches from this point another
hole is bored In these holes
small bolts or heavy nails are
placed By revolving this board
around the center stake two
Circles will be marked on the
ground The space between
these circles is dug out to a depth
of eighteen to twenty-four inches
or far enough to come below the
frost line great care being used
so that the walls of the trench
are perpendicular and as smooth
as possible

J N HOUSTON Register
Washington ’ News
By OLIVER O KUHN
The Treasury Department in
Washington has just taken steps
looking toward the distribution
of $800000 to the banks of Okla-
homa which represents the
state’s share of the $100000000
to be scattered over the nation
by Secretary McAdoo to move
the crops of the country By a
ruling of the secretary $500000
of the state’s apportionment will
go to the national banks of Okla-
homa City and $300000 to the
banks of Muskogee it having
been decided that there should
be two centers of distribution
in Oklahoma
The exact reason is not known
but Oklahoma will get less of the
crop-moving funds than many
other agricultural states in the
country In discussing the ap-
portionment Secsitary McAdoo
said ' 1
“Many factors were taken in-
to consideration in arriving at
the apportionment of deposits in
the west and south Among
these were the immediate needs
of the localities as reported by
the Committee of the clearing
houses in the conference held
with them in Washington the
capital of the different national
banks and the character of busi-
ness transacted by them the
the amount of money which
these banks are at the present
time advancing to there country
bank correspondents and the
amount they expect to extend to
these correspondents their out-
standing circulation and the
amout of rediscounts that may
have been made in their efforts
meet the legitate demands upon
them of customers and corres-
pondents” ji
That the farmers residing on
rural routes may be brought in
closer touch with the merchants
of the smaller towns of the
country Senator Gore has re-
quested Postmaster General
Burleston to make a great re-
daction in the rates new in
effect When the Oklahoma
farmer desires a small package
mailed to hip from a merchant
in the town from whence his
rural route starts he is forced
to pay live cents a pound Not
infrequently be has to pay more
postage than the contents of the
package is worth Consequently
the dealer as well as the farmer
is handicapped in the transac-
tion Senator Gore believes
that if the rates were reduced it
would tend to make the parcel
post of even greater valpa Jo the
farmer and the merchant than it
now is The ’ present rural
route parcel post rate is 5e

The House likes to have fun at
the expense of “Alfalfa Bill”
Murray representative at large
from Oklahoma Never is an
opportunity to “kid” the states-
man from Oklahoma lost Re-
presentative Thomas is the latest
to cause the Oklahoma states-
man some discomfiture Here’s
how it happened
“Alfalfa Bill” rose in his seat
and with oratorical bravado ad-
dressed the speaker thusly
"Mr Speaker I request una-
nimous consent to address the
house on the subject ‘Temper-
ing the hot winds in western
Texas Oklahoma and Kansas
and making it possible to pro-
duce crops in those sections and
without the expense of irriga-
tion ’
And then up jumped Thomas
“Mr Speaker I want to sug-
gest that you might put the gen-
tleman from Oklahoma in cold
storage in Washington City and
that would temper the hot winds
in Oklahoma”
The House roared with laugh-
ter Murray had no more to
say
P If
No longer will the Standard
Oil Company and its subsidiaries
be permitted to dominate the oil
fie Ids in Oklahoma The Depart
meat of Interior when it' deter-
mined that the 12000 acres of
Osage oil land lying north of
Cleveland should be leased in
small tracts instead of large as
desired in the oil trust at once
set a precedent which is expect-
ed to govern at all times when
further lands are leased and
when present leases expire
The independent producers of
the state have long been clamor-
ing for a square deal and for op-
portunity to enter the Osage
country but have heretofore been
largely blocked by unfavorable
lease regulations promulgated by
Department of Interior officials
under republican administra-
tions The hearing of several
weeks ago in Washington thor-
oughly convinced Secretary Lane
that the independents should be
rec gnized and it is expected
that the brisk bidding which will
result from the increased num-
ber of persons desiring to ob-
tain the lands will work to the
greatest interest of the Indians
The bids for tbe 42000 acres
will be opened at the Osage
agency office at 2 o’clock on Sep-
tember 9th Many independents
will enter Ihe race for the lands
but it is expected that the Stan-
dard Oil Co and its subsidiaries
will not allow the independents
to gather in the harvest without
a fight using “dummies” to cov-
er their operations

Chairman Doremus of the Con-
gressional campaign Committee
soon is expected to call his ad-
visors together and active plans
for promoting tlje Democratic
campaigns next year will be con-
sidered All senatorial apd con-
gressional campaigns will be
largely directed by this body
Senator Gore of Oklahoma who
was placed on tbe Committee at
the request of President Wilson
and various members of the cab-
inet will have an active hand in
the pre-campaign work Sena-
tor Gore had charge of the or-
ganization work in the last na-
tional campaign when the Demo-
cratic Party won its greatest
sjjpcess and consequently his
views expected to have more
weight than other single

Upon the request of Represen-
tative Charley Carter and Judge
Preslie B Cole of McAlester
who recently has been in Wash-

the Department of Interior will

praisement a fid sale of the segre-
gated lands of tbe civilil

an office would greatly facilitate

Haa Worked
Someone has said that the distin-
guishing trait of jailbirds is not so
much bad morals as bad sense! If this
be true the average tariff grafter has
one point of resemblance to the
humbler offender for the stupidity
of moet tariff arguments Is even more
staking than their moral perversity
The New Bedford Standard a pa-
per which eeems to live by and for the
cotton mitt trust devotes much of one
edition to denouncing the cotton sched-
ule of the Underwood tariff Vo show
how radical a cut is made by the Un-
derwood tariff the Standard gives a
list of fabrics with the duty on each
under the Wilson law of 1894 the Ding-
ley law of 1897 the Aldrich horror of
1909 and the proposed Underwood
rates of 1913
On the more expensive fabrlos lit
tie change was made by the Aldrich
law But on articles of such almost
universal use as dotted Swiss and some
wash fabrics Mr Aldrich increased
the already atrocious Dingley rates
from 50 to 80 per cent — and the Stand-
ard pleading for "protection” admits
this fact!
Thia criminal increase in tariff du-
ties was made at a time when the
oountry was crying out for relief and
when cotton mills were fairly bloating
with prosperity
In the eight years ending with 1907
the Union mill one of the largest In
New England paid" an average divi-
dend of 23 per cent per year The
Troy mill during the same period paid
an average of 2362 per cent per year
and tbe Laurel Lake mill paid an av-
erage of 3626 per cent The Dart-
mouth mill paid 26 per cent cash divi-
dends In 1906 66 per cent In 1907 66
per cent once more in 1908 and in
1909 paid a stock dividend of 100 per
cent and a 13 per cent cash dividend

Legislators' Senses Blunted!
It is one of the most deplorable ef-
fects pf the protectionist tariff policy
that it has blunted the moral percep-
tions of our legislators so that the pro-
motion of private interests through
legislation seems respectable to them
—and that they cannot see that to leg
Islate profits Into the coffers of this
or that favored Industry is plain graft-
