WHY q SILO PAYS.
Some Truths Which, Although They
Are SeIf-Evident. Cannot BE
Repeated Too Often.

Until every farmer has a silo, il is in
order to preach the silo. so we beg
those who have silos TO bear with US
if we seem TO repeat self-evident truths.
Remember what an awful lot of preach
ing it takes to save a few sinners and
have patience, or, do better, help us to
spread the truth.
l. The silo stores away corn more
safely and more permanently than n
other plan. Silage is practically fire
proof, and will keep in the silo indefi.
nitely.
2. Corn can be made into silage at
less expense than it can be preserved
in any other forEI.
3. The silo preserves absolutely all
but the roots of the corn.
4. Silage can be made in the sun.
shine or in rain. Unlike hay. it is in
dependent of the weather.
5. When corn is ready for the silo.
there is but little farm work pressing.
6. Corn is worth more to the dairy
IS silage than in any other form.
Z. At least one-third more corn per
acre may be fed on silage than dried
corn. stalks and fodder.
s. Corn is fed more conveniently as
silage than in any other form.
9. Silage is of more value when fed
in combination with other food richer
in protein. 1t is not a complete food.
10. Owing to its succulence and bulki.
ness, silage is the best known substi-
TUT for green grass, and is. therefore.
especially valuable as a winter food.

NIGHT ON A CATTLE RANGE.

Tneres a weird-like charm in the starlit
night on the breast of the western
plains.
Where a stiffness falls like a veil Of peace
as the day in its glory wanes.
Where the night breeze kisses the fevered
earth and the gems OF the star-world
CLEAN
With their twinkling sparkles of silvery
light till the heavens with beauty
TEEN
The heart beats soft with a soothing sense
OF freedom ard calm delight
As We lie and gaze at the w~hip-poor-wiIls
erhead in their playful flight.
Where the grasses rustic a lullaby by the
breath Of the night wind stirred.
And the dog-wolf bowls in the sandy hills
and the cowboy sings to his herd.
NJ there on the breast of a rising slope the
cattle in uQiet lie.
Nor raise their heads when the shadowy
form of the rider passes them by.
But close their eyes whent the soothing song
OF the ~tireless watcher they hear
The song that tells them to lie in peace. no
danger is lurking near.
The weary man from the city's noise on
the grass in his blanket lies
Anc reads a story of peaceful rest on the
scroll of the starlit skies.
-AEo dreamily watches the ftful flight OF
the restless nocturnal bird.
Where the dog-wolf howls in the sandy
hills and the cowboy sings 10 his herd.
How near to the presence of God we feel.
How sacred the stiffness seems.
How the we3ried soul in its new-found rest
with the joy Of existence teens.
How We almost think we can see the face
Of the Father Of All up there
In a twinkling frame of the silent stars
that jewel the midnight air,
What fancies ill the delighted brain as we
float OF a dreamy sea
To me mystic shadows OF Sunderland
from the cares of the earth set free
Float on till the last dim vision of earth by
the finger of sleep IS blurred.
Where the Gog-wolf bowls in the sandy
mills ard the cowboy sings 10 his herd.

Cod Liver OIL for CalYes.

American dairymen are well ac
quainted with the methods of enrich
ing skim milk for calves by the aGdi-
ton of oil meal and the like. But &C.
cording to recent reports the New
Zealanders are actually using in their
milk cod liver oil at tie rate of two
ounces per calf per- day. The report
says that where separator skim milk
is used the farmers have found it nec-
essary to add something, especially
when the calves are TO be grown into
beeves. Crude cod liver oil can be
bought IL that country for about IS
cents per gallon. and each gallon con
tains 160 ounces of oil. This permits
them to feed two ounces per day Cor
q period of so days, after which the
use of the oil is discontinued.
