HUMOROUS 
The codfish lays a million eggs, 
While the helpful hen lays one; 
But the codfish does not cackle. 
To inform us what she’s done; 
And so we scorn the codfish coy, 
But the helpful hen we prize; 
Which indicates to thoughtful u, c<a s 
It pays to advertise. 1 o

Which is thei; 
Best Silo? 
Mr. Harry Pugh, manager of the Beatrice Creamery Company, Topeka, 
Kansas, took a silo “census” of his state. In an article in the “Farmers’ 
Mail and Breeze” of March 14, 1914, he said of it: 
“I have taken considerable trouble to find out the actual number of silos in Kansas. 
After making all the inquiries through reliable sources that it was possible to make, I found 
that the following figures are fairly accurate: . 
“4,700 wood stave silos; 400 wood 2x4, known as Common Sense; 50 built of floorings; 5 
Buff Jersey type; 160 monolithic concrete; 125 meral lath; 100 cement stave; 20 hollow tile; 
100 galvanized iron; 40 pit, or hole-in-the ground, and 15 brick.” 
O f a total of 5,715 silos in the State of Kansas, 5,155 were wood? 
Kansas has given all types of silos a thorough try-out. and has determined which is best. 
Kansas farmers are prosperous, and can afford to buy the best. 
Of every ten silos Kansas farmers have bought,
