Oktibbeha Dairymen's Association.
'Thesregular monthly meeting took
place Saturday February 4th, in the
Mayors office Attendance as good
as, usual.
The subject of ensilage was intro
dacea by Dr. e. p Connell. His
silos were not what he expected they
would be- Judging from the character
of.the ensifage His sorghum ensi-
lage this year.was pretty good; corn
ensilago. not SO good. He desired
that al tcommittee be appointed to
visit alE-thc silos in the county and
niakeA report-examining the con-
struction of'silo and character of en-
silage minutcly. After some discus
sion a committee was appointed for
this purpose.
ThesPfesidcut, W. Il. Montgomery,
saidh desired to introduce to the
audience Mr.. A. Lagrange of Monte
reyf Mexico, and requested that gen.
tleman to favor us with his views
and experience with ensilage. (Mr.
Lagrange has been a subscriber of
the Journal for over year and it
was through the:inhuence of this pa
per- that he was induced to visit
Starkville with the view of purchas-
ing carload of thoroughbred and
high grade Jersey cattle.) Mr..
Lagrange, possessing the proverbial
politcness of his race, modestly ac-
cepted the invitation to tell some
thing Of what he knew of ensilage
and of his personal experience with
it, TcnSy ycarsago he heard and read
of.tho experiments of M. Goffart in
Frances the originator of the system
as now applied to saving green fod-
der in the .silo.
IEe had long known in France that
leaves from the grape vine were
gathered and put under heavy pres
sure and preserved their greenness
and succuIence, used as foodfor goats
in winter when there was scarcity
of green feed.
He read of the silo and ensilage
experiments in this country first in
the American Agriculturist. Some
parties said that only silos construct
ed ofstone or brick and mortar would
preserve the onsilagc successfully;
some recommended d heavy tramping
of the ensilage; some recommended

main in silo six weeks before using,
but an early frost came and he was
compelled to open it in a month af-
ter filing The ensilage was good;
about four inches on top was spoiled
and two or three inches in the cor
ners, slightly on the sides. 1t was
not SO good the first two feet, but
cattle eat it with relish all the same.
The milk yield began to increase
right away as soon as the ensilage
was fed. His loss, altogether, was cer-
tainly not over one-twentieth of the
whole. He was confident that ensi-
lage was more economical than any
food of forage plants in dried state
not only in the quantity produced
per acre, but also because it could
be handled and put into the silo in
rainy weather as well as dry; and il
could be gotten off of the land SO
much sooner all,i th,. land p,:sntod Il
another crop-insuring two. crops.
His ration was 80 pounds ensilage.
10 pounds bran, 10 pounds refuse of
starch factory, cotton seed, with ealt
added.
DIR. Z. =. Cennell theorized on
silos and cnsilage; didn't like his
own silos; his own ensilage expert
ments had not been generally success
full; had never seen any ensilage that
suited his idea as to what ensilage
ought to be; thought the A. d NJ.
College ensilage the best he had
seen; thought the A. 4 M. College
silos kept the ensilage better because
they were deeper than any he had
seen.
Rev. w. S. Harrison. The past
year moved large quantity of Les
pedeza; put down layer of dry hay
in his silo, then green Lespedeza,
then hay, and SO on. Is now using
this feed. The Lespedeza is as bright
as the day it was cut.
Mr.. Robt. Muse.-For years he
had cured green corn in this way,
using oat and wheat straw. Had
cured clover hay in the same man
ner. The dry forage absorbed all
the moisture in the wet forage.
Rev. w. S. Harrison was appoint
ed regular speaker for this meeting
and his subject was Profits of Dai-
rying.n He said he had written
nothing but would say something
anyway. He said it was hard fol
him to speak definitely Qike every

filling slowly SO that the ensilage
would heat to a temperature of 13O
or 140 degrees F-this high heating
killing all bacteria and insuring
sweet ensilage; some did not desire
ensilage too sweet, believing bet
ter results in feeding could be at
tanned by not having the ensilage so
sweet but slightly acid. There were
so many theories that it was difficult
to understand what really to do,
where there was SO much conflicting
testimony. He built his silos, three
in number. Built of stone; used
small round stones, from the bed of
stream, in his mortar The little
open spaces in these stones are filled
with carbonate of lime-a natural
concrete. The mortar may not be
as good as Portland cement, but an
swers every purpose aud is cheap.
All their lime insArs country is hy-
draulic. The inside walls ofhis silo
were rubbed with stone, which made
them exceedingly smooth and gave
them an appearance of dressed mar
bic. Roof built of stone also; water
proof and fire proof. All roofs in
Mexico built of stone. You can
build fire on top of the roof and it
does no harm, even if you use cord
OF wood. Silos built with perpen-
dicular walls, like the rooms of our
houses. Lumber in his section is
worth $50 to $65 per / 1000 feet, and
hence but little can be used in the
construction of houses. Building
with stone is not expensive--labor
is cheap. Capacity of his silos, 70
tons each. Last year was his first
experience with ensilage. Used In
dian corn and cut 1T at different de-
grees of maturity-some very green,
some in~milk state, some later ma
tured; some allowed to wilt before
|ensilaging; some cut when the dew
was on it and all the stalks saturat-
ed with water. He filled one silo
and half of another. One was
tramped thoroughly-the other not
so we'll; that which was we'll tramp
ed was much the best in quality.
On the top of each silo coarse mat
or carpet, woven by Mexicans out of
Spanish daggers, was spread, and the
stone weights placed on this. He
had seen some of these Spanish dag
gers growing around this town. He
expected to allow the ensilage to re-

Beautiful Weather.

The cold wave swept in from the east
yesterday morning and is still chilling
everything susceptible to its blasts. The
tabulated report in another column shows
that the snap is quite general and uni
form.
AT 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
thermometer indicated lOo below zero; at
G o'clock it was l5o below; two hours
later 20' and at midnight 23o.
At 3 o'clock this morning the air was
filled with frost, a slight breeze forced it
into ones face, and the thermometer
said that the mercury was 27' below zero.
Many water pipes were frozen and
stored farm products we're destroyed.
However, pedestrians did not suffer. On
accoun of the rarity and dryness of the
atmosphere here, 2Oo below zero does not
seem SO uncomfortable as 50 in the Mis-
souri, or Mississippi valley or on the East,
ern slope.

A GENTLEMAN IN RAGS.
A Veteran of Two Wars, Once Wealthy,
Reduced to PERJURY.

His clean cut features, refined express
sion and gentlemanly carriage evidenced
that he was one of that army of indi-
viduals who had ''seen better days. but
disdained to conide even the most inf
Intestinal mite of his troubles, mishaps
and grievances to the common herd which
had congregated in the beer hall where
he had sought refuge from the unpleasant
attentions of the element. A drink,
followed by another and still another, set
his tongue wagginig. Reticence disap-
pared and reckless volubility obtained.
1t was a tale of woe. His lot had been
one of hardship, disappointment, useless
struggles and a surrender only after a
noble resistance. By documents in his
possession the aged tramp s~ubstantiated
his remarkable and almost Incredible tale.
His career was worthy a hero. A cap
tain in the Mexican war, he fought
bravely on many bloody field. The scar of
a sword thrust here and a bullet wound
there were ineffaceble decorations for BRAY
cry displayed in action. At the termina-
ton OF that bloody struggle he returned
to the north and embarked In business.
Unfortunate investment pauperized the
bold trader. He went south familarized
himself with the details of cotton indus
try. Friends assisted and he once more
became a property owner. For a time he
believed that he had left misfortune in the
north. He married the daughter of a
~neighboring planter and acquired more
worl Idly goods. War clouds foated. The
restless spirit hailed their appearance
with delight. The struggle occurred. He
emerged from the smoke of the final en-
gagement with his life, nothing else.
Wife was dead, property contiscated
health shattered and ambition crushed.
For more han twenty years the man
who did not succeed has been a wanderer.
a Bohemian, an Ishmaelite. He is pas
slve and eccentric, spasnodic and e%rratic,
a living enigma, a veteran whom all re-
spect and honor, a tramp, reviled by his
pitiless fellow men, scoffed at by guileless
and inconsiderate children, forced by
circumstance to mingle with those whom
he detests. There we're tears in the
eyes of several hearers when the story
was concluded. The man, regretting the
unguarded betrayal of himself left the
place quietly. Inquiry developed that he
has several friends in Cheyenne and
visits the city occasionally in his travels.
