ONCE IS ENOUGH TO BUILD A SILO All, in all, we believe that so much has been said, done and proved, about silos that practically every progressive farmer is planning to put up a silo or has one up now. There isn’t a thing in the world that should delay the farmer who has no sifb. There is nothing more important—nothing means so much to you in actual cash yearly profits, increased money-making possibilities and increased realty value of the land itself. It will even pay you, if absolutely necessary, to borrow the money—just tdget the silo up. How the Ideal Silo is Made In the manufacture of the Ideal Silo no expense has been spared in the way of machinery and materials. Our special machines used exclusively for the manufacture of the staves, permit of no inaccuracies whatsoever. The fundamental principle ot the silo is that it must be absolutely air-tight. You will, therefore, appreciate that the staves must be accurately made, dressed on both sides, tongued and grooved and beveled to conform to the circle of the silo. -When siloe are of such length that it is necessary to use staves in two lengths, we use the self-draining beveled joint and spline. TIE RODS So much depends on the tie rods or hoops that no silo maker can afford to skimp on them. We make the tie rods and hoops of three quarter inch round iron, close grained, with machine cat threads. Tie rods should not be less than three quarters of an inch in diameter because they are under considerable strain, and if less than three quarters of an inch they are apt to stretch in their length thus allowing the staves of the silo to become loose, permitting moisture to ooze out and air to enter- —perhaps spoiling an entire silo full of silage. Our • tie rods are made in three lengths, that is, there are three self-adjusting, automatic take-ups in each of the tie rods around the silo. HINGE DOORS The doors of the Ideal Silo are fitted with special malleable iron galvanized hinges, one near the top and one near, the bottom of the door. These hinges permit the door swinging inwardly entirely out of the way, out of the weather, and in position to close instantly when desired. FOR SALE BY J. W. FAYLOR, ""SSS."'

Honesty In Advertising. Honesty In advertising as a policy la well as moral necessity was the theme of an address delivered to the Springfield Ad Men’s olub by Andrew N'. Fox of Chicago. “There is only one better way to incur a man’s enmity than by calling him a fool,” Mr. Fox said, “and that is by treating him like a fool on the surmise that he doesn’t recognize the treatment. You can’t fool the people in advertising.”
