Write for Supply Co., BASES ADVICE ON 111s EXPERIENCE Colorado Man Says He Suffered 25 Years HAS GAINED 10 POUNDS Lopez Tells of a Value Tanlac Proved, Hoping to Help Others. "Tanlac certainly helped me, and I hope my experience with it will en courage others to try it," said Antonio Lopez, who lives at Delta, Colorado. "I was a sick man for 25 years," continued Mr. Lopez. "My stomach was in such a bad condition that for the last five years I was not able to eat any supper at all, and any kind of fruit or vegetables would cramp me, -o I never would touch any of them. I was simply miserable most of the time from the gas on my stomach. I lost considerable weight, and at the time I started taking Tanlac I weighed only one hundred and thirty eight pounds. "The few bottles of Tanlac I have taken built me up wonderfully and I actually gained 10 pounds on my first three bottles. My stomach is in such fine condition that I can eat anything now, including fruits and vegetables, without suffering the slightest pain or trouble from gas. And I can eat a hearty supper now and enjoy every bite too." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Manning; H. W.

In the case of old silos it will be profitable for the farmer to go over them carefully to look for cracks and wherever he finds them to seal with tar and oakum I wood filler, or other effective material. If the bottom of the silo has decayed slightly, the owner may saw off what ever amount is necessary, and then, by the use of blocking, gradually lower the silo to the foundation again, cementing around the base as pre viously described. When the silo is air-tight and able to. stand the most rigid inspection, the owner may consider the actual work of filling. A wise -precaution is to place several feet of straw in the bot tom of the silo to act as a protective blanket between the bottom of the silo and the feed, as ordinarily silage juices collect there unless proper fac ilities for drainage are provided and the straw acts as a valuable absor bent for this excess of moisture which otherwise might damage the bottom silage. Must Tramp it Down Well In the actual operation of filling the silo it is of paramount importance that no air pockets be left; this is prevented by sufficient tramping. It depends largely on the diameter of the silo how many men should be used to tramp the ensilage, but even in silos as small as 12 feet diameter, if sufficient help is available, at least three men should be used with an in crease in the force as the size of the silo increases. .The proper sealing of the silo also is important, because where the silo is correctly topped off there usually is a minimum loss of the succlent feed. A good plan is to snap the ears from the last three or four loads of corn which are run into the silo. Straw or coarse hay may also be usedl as a topping. Then oats should be sown over the top of the contents after it has been thoroughly moistened, if necessary, although as a rule the corn if cut at the proper stage, is moist enough without extra wvatering. The oats sprout andl form a dense blanket which prevents the ensilage from spoiling. PERSHING UNABLE TO COME Greenville, Sept. 21.--Gen.
