Corn for Dairy Cows.

At the Illinois Institute some one
asked one of the speakers why there is
nothing concerning the silo in the farm
papers lately and if silage is such good
thing why we do not hear more about
it. From the standpoint of farm paper
it seems that great deal has been said
about silos and silage The longer
silage is used in this country the more
it is valued, and the silo as a means Of
securing the corn plant, stalk blade and
ear, and all of it without any waste,
cannot be excelled by any other method
ever devised Writing in the New York
Tribune concerning feed for diary cows,
Prof. + II. Harrington pays a high
tribute to the cheapness of corn sllage ::
After each COW owner has demon
strated to his own satisfaction and in his
own way that liberal feeding is profit
able aud scant feeding expensive, he
should begin to consider what kind Of
feed pays best As the corn is pre-emi
nent in this locality, the dairyman
buOull ucNOlt Pbuu SudlC VI hiT
thought to considering the most eco
nomical method of converting it into
milk
Careful experiments aud observations
indicate that roots and hay supply only
about oue-half as much food per acre
as corn, and demonstrate the superior
feeding value of corn. There has always
been difference of opinion, however,
as to the best way of feeding the corn
crop to dairy COWS. Some advocate cut
ting, shocking and curing the corn in
the field, while others preserve it in
silos
Ensilage can be counted on as an
economical feed nearly every year, but
selection of the cheapest grain feed for
milk production is quite another ques-
ton. The fluctuation in prices from
year to year is such that each season
aud locality must be considered by itself
when it comes to selecting the kind oil
grain that should be fed to cows in
order to make the most milk at the
least cost.

Onion Culture.

The prices ruling for onions are large
enough to make this crop very profitable
if large crops are raised 10 localities
where big crops of onions have been
raised heretofore the supply has been
decreasing in the last few years. The
best onion soils have become impover-
ished, and it is no longer possible to
raise big crop without artificial ma
nures. If the land is rich and moist
there are very few crops that will pay
better than onions. But the trouble is
that very few soils are in this condition
except as the result Of careful and scien-
ti6c farming.
Taking land therefore that is not in
the highest condition for onion growing,
the course of treatment must be inteli-
gent and systematic The land needs
thorough fertilization with thoroughly
rotted barnyard manure. This should
be spread over the land literally. The
heavier the fertilizing the larger the
crop. Hence it does not pay to skimp
on the manure This manure will be
work, d in carefully, and the soil plowed
and narrowed until it is in excellent
mechanical condition.
The cultivation of the soil should be-
gin as early in the spring as it is work
able. Then the onion seeds should be
drilled in the soil in rows at the rate of
five or six pounds to the acre. The rows
should be laid off from ten to twelve
iuches apart. Naturally the seeds must
be of the best and obtained from some
reliable scotsman. After the seed is in
the ground frequent and shallow Guilt
walton must be given. Deep cultivation
is not essential and sometimes positively
injurious Hand wedding aud thinning
out must be resorted to- If one is un-
willing to do this it is better not to raise
onions Thy weeds are the greatest
nuisance in the onion patch and nothing
gives more trouble. Il the onions are
properly cultivated the yield ought to
be from 300 to 400 bushels an acre. If
this amount can be raised there is money
in the work If not probably it will be
more profitable to raise onion sets. For
sets the seed is sown in early May, and
the sets mature by the middle of June.
They should be sown in drills very
thickly so they will not grow too large.
1t requires ten to fifteen bushels Of sets
to plant an acre. Wisconsin Agricul-
turist.

Profitable Ease.

1t has been demonstrated by expert
ment, and confirmed by sound judgment
and much experience, that live stock Of
all kinds make the best return for food
and care when they enjoy the largest
measure of personal ease end comfort.
The comfortable stable, stall and fasten-
ing contribute largely to the thrift Of
animals in winter, and the comfortable
pasture performs like Office in summer
Pure water, accessible at will, is abso-
lutely necessary to summer thrift. aud
shade from the broiling sun can hardly
be regarded secondary. If this is not
provided by trees, sun-shelter of other
kinds should be furnished Shady places
open to the passing breezes are most
valuable adjuncts to the food consumed
by animals. The enervating effects Of
the hot sun aud the energy wanted in it
in fighting flies use up a deal of vitality
that would else be converted into milk
or meat Shade in pasture in summer
is analogous to warmth of stable in win
ter, and both are necessary to the best
returns for food consumed.

The eight Of Milk.

Milk is a deceptive article So far as
weight is concerned. In herd of fifty
cows samples Of milk can be taken from
individual animals that show interesting
conditions when placed upon the scales.
The milk from one COW will weigh two
pounds to one and one-half quarts, while
her nearest neighbOr produces milk
which weighs two pounds to one and
one.half pints 1t does not seem to
make much difference what the breed is
or how much milk they produce. The
milk is little lighter in summer than
in winter. 1t is hardly possible to iud
a dozen cows whose milk will weigh
alike. but when mixed, if there are not
too many in the lot that give very heavy
milk, it will weigh out two pounds to a
good full quart every time. The family
who buys from 4 man who keeps but
one COW is liable to get little more or
quite little less Of weight when buying
quart than as though the quart was
taken from the mixed milk of dozen

To Prevent Bigamy.

IN AN effort to solve the problem of
how to stop bigamy, the Chicago In
ter Ocean makes the suggestion that
the picture Of the intending bridegroom
be published three times next to read
ing matter in all the daily newspapers.
If within ten days no neglected or de-
serted wife should come forward to
claim him the wedding bells might be
safely chimed. If. on the contrary, his
picture should be recognized by some
forlorn wife as that of her long-lost
husband the new marriage contract
could be declared Off In every IN
stance the intending bridegroom should
be compelled to pay in advance for the
insertion of his picture. A man will
not submit to this test Of his sincerity
IS hardly worth woman's serious at
tention, anyhow The proposed sys-
tenn would at least have the merit of in
creasing the revenues of the newspa-
pers, and that's something.
The Philadelphia Times has introduce
ed THE feature of publishing pictures of
the deceased" in its formal obituary
notices, and where these notices for
merly occupied a column they now
string out to a page The surviving
members of the family seem to like it,
and the dead don't mind. Some intend
ing bridegrooms might object to having.
their pictures made by the Butte Inter
Mountains chalk process, but they
should reflect that if the good of society
is subserved the individual should hear
his distress in silence. The practice CT
altruism and self-sacrifice would be in
the nature of preparation for the mar
ried state.

through the high prices which pre-
vailed, and these high prices existed
merely because there was sufficient
amount OF money to pay them with.
1t stands to reason that people cam
not pay out any more money than they
have or can get. If there is no money,
there can be no prices; if there is q
little money there can be small prices;
if there is great deal of money there
can be high prices. In California at
the time mentioned, money was reia-
lively abundant ana everything else
relatively scarce. Hence prices were
high, profits were large and the price
of money loaned, that is the interest,
was also high.

tion, there are the regulars still en-
ployed in chasing Aguinaldo.
Brigadier General Hale presided. He
stated briefly the object of the meet
ing, saying that such a reunion would
naturally be held in Denver, as this
city is the geographical center of the
region from which the men of the
Eighth army corps were drawn. He
favored the plan, he said. and had also
spoken to many OF the men in the Iowa
regiments on their way home. They
indorsed the selection Of Denver as a
meeting place, as did the Nebraska
soldiers. General Hale then suggest
ed the fixing of date for the reunion.
Among the other days suggested was
Aug. 49, the anniversary Of the capture
of Manila; Decoration day; July 20.
the date of the opening of the first
trenches on Luzon, and July Is, the
birthday of Camp Dewey.
Many of those present. including
Mr. Thornton, favored waiting to hear
from other states interested before
fixing date, but it was objected that
an organization should be formed be-
fore correspondence was begun.
Colonel Lippincott advocated the
formation of war society, and it was
then decided that General Hale should
appoint committee of three to report
on plans for an organization and to
afterward undertake the correspond
ence with other states.
THE members of the Eighth army
corps will meet again next Friday
night
