WHH Tf SILCT* HAS TO BE
f% ROUND.
Air article-- in the current issue
•of Famr and Fireside shows why
thesquare silo is a failure and the
rouncfr one a success. Following
is air
extract:
"TEe: square silo is not popular
witfr those-who have used them
anefc tried them out in com
parisons with the perfected
roundt type^ There are several
reasonwior this, perhaps the most
impoztautt- being that the square
tile*.wastes^ too much silage.
"Sifiigea-packed into a square

air down into the
causing it to rot and become
moldy. Usually the corners will
show a line of rot from top to
bottom, and it is nothing unusual
to see, a big pile of rotten silage
just to one side of the door, which
represents corner loss.
"Another reason advanced for
the failure of the square silo is
the fact that rats will work
through the walls just above the
foundation and then up inside in
the silage, and these holes will
conduct air into the body of the
silage and cause an enormous loss.
"Those who have used the
square silo for a number of years
and have had opportunity to in
vestigate the subject thoroughly
say with me that the square silo
is a failure even though it is
cheap."
FLAX CROPPING ON NEW
LANDS.
An interesting bulletin by H.
L. Bolley of the North Dakota
Experiment station is just off the
press. This joint bulletin is in
tended to illustrate the best meth
ods of handling sod lands to pre
pare them for cropping to flax.
It is written primarily for those
regions which may be spoken of
as semi-dry land areas. The bul
letin is prepared in a topical man
ner, each page treating a definite
subject. Each subject is illus
trated by a carefully prepared
picture. The bulletin is really a
picture book of best methods in
handling sod lands. As it is is
sued in a comparatively small edi
tion it will, chiefly, be sent out
only upon request. It does not
deal to any extent with the pre
paration of old land but it shows
how new land should be handled
in order to avoid spoiling the land
for flax cropping in the future.
It explains very clearly what is
meant by soil deterioration aris
ing from soil infection by root
destroying fungi. It illustrates all
the processes from engine farm
ing down to the two horse prop
osition.

THE SUMMER SILO.
The use of the silo throughout
the year is finding favor with
many stock keepers. It is quite
difficult to obtain a profit on pas
ture which is on land worth $ 100
or more per acre. During drouth
seasons, the pasture is often so
poor that it affords little or no
feed. There is no question but
what the use of the silo for sum
mer feeding will make rapid gains
during the next few years and will
soon come into common use. The
millions of tons of corn stalks and
rough forage which are now an
nually going to waste will find
use in the form of silage and will
make possible not only a cheaper
production of stock and stock
products, but will also make it
possible to at least double the
profit of stock raising. Farmers
who are complaining of low pro
fits from cattle, should make a
study of the silo, as they will here
find a means to increase their pro
fits and do this with less labor.
CORN CONTEST FOR CHIL.
DREN OF SCHOOL AGE.
The Agricultural College is
sending Golden Valley County
Kiln Dried Seed Corn for the
Pupils' Corn Growing Contest
i:his year. Seed will be provided
all children over ten years of age,
and under twenty-one with free
seed, enough to plant a plot 5 by
70 feet. Those bringing the best
exhibit from the plots, of ten ears,
at close of the growing season,
will receive substantial premiums.
The premiums will be announced
when the number entering the con
test is known. Children may ap
ply to the teacher in charge of
their school for blank to enter the
-.ontest. A garden plot should
be secured and the corn planted
between May 1 5-20th.

oar citizens the other night that
tie property owners in progress
ive cities jhad gotten over the
stage where good sidewalks were
considered an expense or a tax,

The money a property owner
pays for sidewalks in frent of his
property is more likely fo come
back to him. in better returns for
his property than almost any
other money he can put into it.
It is just as legitimate an invest

keeps a set of books never thinks
of charging a sidewalk to profit

Will Investigated
Postal Service
Commission Appointed to Inves
tigate Actual, Financial, Phy
sical and Working Conditions
of Postal Service—Letter Post
age May Be Reduced to One
Cent.
Action on the part of Post
master General Albert S. Burle
son, involving the appointment of
a commission to investigate the
"actual financial, physical and
working conditions of the postal
service" is regarded by business
men all over the country as the
initial step, towards one cent let
ter postage.
Postmaster Gejneral Burleson
indicates that there have been so
many conflicting reports as to the
general conditions of the depart
ment that he has decided to
have a full and complete inves
tigation made with a view to de
termining the exact status of af
fairs.
1 he commission is composed of
Daniel C. Roper, Joseph Stew
art, A. M. Dockery and James I.
Blackslee, first, second, third and
fourth assistant postmasters gen
eral respectively, and Merritt O.
Chance, chief clerk of the de
partment. These are the new
officials just appointed under the
Wilson administration to conduct
the affairs of the post office de
partment.
Now that the parcels post is in
actual operation and bids fair to
be extended during the next few
years, it is claimed by business
men generally that their demand
for a one cent letter rate should
be heeded. They point to the
fact that the post office depart
men is now realizing an enormous
surplus, something like $65,000,
000 per year, from the letter
mail. Although letter mail con
stitutes but fourteen per cent of
the revenue of the department it
pays about seventy five per cent
of the revenue received from all
classes, and it is evident that this
is a decided discrimination against
users of the first class or letter
mail.
One of the interesting features
of the post office department
which will be investigated is the
so-called "blue tag" system. In
September, 1911, the plan was
inaugurated. It covers that sec
tion of the United States lying
between Pittsburg, Buffalo, Chica
go, St. Louis and provides that
within this section, second class
mail, particularly heavy magazine
mail, shall be hauled in freight
cars. A report from Postmaster
Childs of Kansas City indicates
that the system has been a great
success so far as it has been work
ed out. Reports furnished by
Postmaster Childs indicate that
the saving on the small part of
the whole mail that this portion
severed for a term of seventeen
months was $364,995.50.
Former Postmaster General
Hitchcock, who recently retired
from office, was firm in the be
lief that an immense saving could
be affected throughout the coun
try if this plan were followed, and
all large eastern magazine pub
lishers required to distribute their
product in this manner.
The Curtis Publishing Co., of
Philadelphia, probably the largest
periodical publishers in the world,
ship out of Philadelphia by regu
lar mail service every day from
5 to 10 fully loaded cars stacked
to the roof with magazines. These
are carried at the rate of one cent
per pound or $20 per ton. When
shipped in this way they may be
carried for that ridiculous sum,
all the way from Philadelphia to
California.
Letter mail, on the other hand,
costs its originators an average
rate of over 84 cents per pound,
because there are in the neighbor
hood of 45 pieces, including
some postal cards, to the pound.
This means a cost of $1680 per
ton to the originator of letter
mail, as against $20 per ton for
the big magazines published in
the east, some of which charge
as high as $5,000 a page for ad
ertisements.
It is claimed that the loss to the
government through this lack of
business method is over $60,000,
)00 per year, sufficient to entire
ly eat up the surplus furnished
Sy first, class mail.

Dickinson Substation is ready for

GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
It is to investigate this entire
problem with a view to making
recommendations for a suitable
readjustment that the commission
will deal. Sentiment in favor of
a one cent letter rate is now
strong throughout the country, ac
cording to officers of the National
One Cent Letter Postage Asso
ciation, which has its headquart
ers in Cleveland, and which is
conducting a vigorous campaign
for the lower rate.

Says Pastor RusseiL
No World-Burning Satan to Be

Be Conquered—Man to Be Delivered.
The Power Vested In Messiah—His
Kingdom Near—How It Will Appear
Denver,
1 PASTOR. eUSSELL)
I)PP. 1.—
This city stirred!
Seventeen pastora
of all denomina
tions have been
discussing Tlie Sec
ond Advent for a
mouth. Nowcomes
I'astor Russell tell
ing us all that
"The Earth abid
eth forever"—that
it will never be de
stroyed by literal
lire. According to
him the great event of Christ's Coin
ing will bring blessings such as we
all desire. He seems to have the Bible
and logic on bis side too!
Pastor Russell declared that false
concepts of the Second Coming of
Christ had done great injury. The
•lew set forth in all orthodox creeds
is that Christ will coine again in the
flesh. The resurrection will take place
within twenty-four hours. The saintly
will rise in the air to meet the Lord.
Then fire will come down from hear*
en, and consume the whole earth. Pre
millennlalists claim that Christ will
reign in fleshly glory a thousand years
to bless the living. The majority of
Christians disown this as ridiculous
aensense because thy believe little of
creed or Bible. minority perceive
Its inconsistency with tho Bible.
What Bibla Students Now 8eo,
The "flre of that day" is symbolical,
already kindling in society, the ele
ments of which, Capital and Labor,
•re getting hotter. Soon they will
melt, the symbolical "earth" will be
consumed with the "heavens" also, the
ecclesiastical powers. Their passing
away will usher in a "new earth," or
social order, and "new heavens," the
Church in glory.
The Second Coming of Christ is as
sociated with blessings, llessiah will
abolish the curse and bring In wonder
ful blessings. The Day of Christ will
be "the last Day,"—tho great Seventh
Thousand-year Day. All humanity will
be blessed, including th* dead who will
then be awakened.
Christ Comes to Rtign.
As the redemption waB necessary
for man's salvation so Messiah's King
dom is necessary to accomplish restitu
tion. The delay of more than eighteen
centuries is Scriptnrally explained: (1)
God designed Six Great One Thou
sand Year Days t» teach mankind the
exceeding sinfulness of Hn. lie pur
posed that on the Seventh Day the
blessing of Messiah ahaoU come. (2)
An important work has been done
since Calvary. Aa Elect Church has
been gathered out «f all aations—
saints made perfect through suffering,
a Little Flock, tho "Church of the
First-borns." These are to become the
Bride of Christ at His Seoond Advent
The Second Coming of Jesus is to
claim His Bride class, and to exalt
them. As regards the world, He comes
to bind Satan, to overthrow sin, and
to uplift fallen humanity. (H. Peter
tells that Restitution work, not a literal
burning of the world, awaits the Sec
ond Coming of Jesus: "Times of re
freshing shall come from the presence
of the Lord."—Acts ill, 10-21.
