OUR FARMERS.
THE WASTE OF SILAGE.

When corn is cut for silage, how do
! the wastes compare with feeding
/ shredded or whole corn fodder dry?
| 1t has been claimed that the silo
wastes are as great as those Of the
dry fodder.
! There is no waste with US, nor do
think there is any waste with any one
when the silage has been properly
made. writes Prof. E. B. Voorhees, to
Rural Neo0 Yorker. That is, the ami
mails eat it up clean-there is not a
mouthful left i'll the managers. In the
case of cornstalks or fodder, I have
to say that, in an experiment reported
last year, where all the conditions
were observed as carefully as posi-
BILE, it was found that the waste
amounted to thirty per cent. of the
dry matter, though the dry matter
wasted was not as rich in protein and
carbohydrates but richer in crude
fiber, than the whole product. It is
almost impossible, in feeding dry fod-
der, or corn stalks, to induce the ami
mails eat the whole of it. It may be
where some people claim that thereIis
as much waste with silage as there is
with the dry stalks, cut and shredded,
they have reference to the losses that
occur from time the corn is cut in the
field until it is fed. Now these losses
have been found to be practically the
same in the one case as in the other.
That is the mechanical losses and the
changes that take place in the field
with the fodder corn are practically
counterbalanced by the losses due to
fermentation and waste in the silo.
Naturally, this will vary according to
the methods of handling, and will
range from ten to twenty per cent.
We have kept an accurate record of
the actual wastes that occur in the silo,
that rotted at the top or sides, and
have found that it amounts to less
than five per cent, but the losses due
to fermentation in the silo, other than
that wasted, have not been absolutely
determined with US. Assuming that
the losses are the same with one as
with the other until time of feeding,
there is an additional loss of thirty per
cent. of the dry matter in the feeding
of the dry fodder; besides, the gain in
milk flows from the succulent. charac-
ter of the silage has been shown to be
1875 per cent.

Making Fertilizer at Home.

There is one advantage in mixing
fertilizers at home, that if one has a
definite idea of the elements most
needed in his soil, or by those crops
he intends to grow, he can use them
in such proportions as he wishes,
without buying such as are not need
ed. He can also usually buy the raw
material at such prices as may save
him the usual commission paid to the
agents, and put into his pocket also
the price charged for the mixing. a
part of the two first items is more
imaginary than real, however, as the
dealer wants profits on the material
as he would have on the manufactured
goods. But if the farmer decides to
do this we advise him against the
buying of raw phosphate rock or
bone, and mixing it with sulphuric
acid. The carpoys of acid are I'M
pleasant things to handle, as the acid
burns clothing or flesh wherever it
touches them, and railroads charge
high rates of freight on them, because
of the danger Of breaking in trans
portation. 1t is better to buy the
acid phophate fourteen to sixteen
per cent. strong. -Eccha12ge.

Refuse Milk for Poultry.

1t has been demonstrated that if a
large number of fowls could be man
aged in connection with large dairy
or creamery the refuse milk and but
termilk, if fed in connection with
grain, will pay well, and that larger
profits can be derived by thus utiliz
ing the waste products from hens
than from swine. AS skim milk and
buttermilk contain nearly all the ele-
ments of food the eggs are more
easily produced by hens fed upon
such than when they are not other
wise provided, and every farmer
should allow the hens share of the
skim milk and buttermilk.

ANSWERING CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS

lncessant questioning upon triv-
ialities that indicates nervousness
rather than a desire for knowledge is
to be discouraged; but encourage
your children to ask sensible questions
by answering them intelligently.
This duty is usually shirked by the
father and assumed by the already
Ovelburdened mother. We are prone
to underrate the power of the
child's mind to comprehend lucid
statements of even apparently COM
pick facts. Perhaps this is done I'M
consciously to conceal our own igro-
rance, just as we put upon the teacher
much educational work that we as
parents can do much better.
"What was the ginning of the
world?" asked my skye hopeful
at breakfast.
"That's long story that we will
talk about after SUPPER" 1 replied
for my children usually have story
read or told them all together before
bedtime. So that evening, in simple
comprehend, and that therefore was
interesting to the older children, the
various theories of the worlds for
nation were briefly described. The
Bible story, the teachings of geology,
the ether rings as the origin of atoms
all this was set forth in simple Ian
guage without bias, concluding as we
had begun with the remark that
after all but little was actually known.
The way in which the story was re-
ceived, from the youngest up, their
questions, comprehension and various
opinions were revelation that
charmed and benefited their father
even more than the talk had helped
them. Children never forget such
talks, and their attitude of mind on
these occasions is treasured in the
fathers heart more and more as his
sons and daughters become older and
too soon grow away from him.
"But don't have time to be with
my children and am not teacher or
a talker," is the burden of several let
tiers that have come to me. Make
time, then. Conversation at table
will usually afford the desired oppor-
tunity and will make the mealtime
more enjoyable. The events of the
day, as set forth in the newspaper,
afford endless topics for interesting
conversation. We should be strictly
honest with the children and present
both sides of disputed questions, if we
wish to best develop their mental pow
ers judgment and character. The
world needs men and women capable
of looking all around subject instead
of being narrowly based to a single
view. Because of our early training
most of US are narrow minded

had consented to go, and he also read the resolution adopted by the chamber of commerce requesting the supervis- ors to investigate the routes. The resolution was ordered filed.
 What kind of road do you want?" asked Supervisor Jasper.
 "I think if the road from Banner to Imperial were put in as good condi- tion as the road from San Diego to Banner is, it would be all right" said M. F. Heller. I've want a road over which six-horse stage can travel"
 No one seemed to be very familiar with the roads, and MT. Jasper sugges- ted that it would be very good trip for committee to make.
 "If you will make the trip and offer suggestions for improvement, will do something. will do what can with the money of the third district road fund. Each district must build its own roads, and can receive no help from the other districts. Not more than $13,OOO can be raised in the third dis trict at the outside limit, and this would not be sufficient to build the road. There is nearly twenty-five miles of sand to cross, and I have not heard of anyone who can convert this into a good road at cheap rate. The sand can be avoided by building a road along side the foothills
 MT. Marston spoke again, and very earnestly. Practical means have to be devised to build the road" he said. II don't thing we should lay down in the sand.

Don't give up at first blush. Let Us know if we can help you. It is worth great deal of cost.''
 'I don't want you to think am try ing to throw cold water on the enter prise," said MT. Jasper. "If the cham Der of commerce and merchants are willing to help, we will get the road, and if not, it will be impossible, be- cause the third district cannot afford it alone"
 Secretary Wood asked if the board could not have the two routes surveyed and estimates made of the cost of inn provement, to which all affirmative an swer was given.
 No action was taken by the board, but it is understood that a committee will be pointed to make the desired trip of Inspection.

ROAD TO THE DESERT
The San Diego Union COmme ndS
 The Proposition
Supervisors May be Asked to Make a Trip out into this Country to
 Look over the Ground

The San Diego Union, regarding this country and line of conveyance between that city and Imperial, says:
 There is one subject which seems to be gathering interest with the passing days, and that is the proposition for better wagon roads into the mountains, or more par ticulary through the mountains onto the desert. The feeling is rife that the work and plans of the California Development Go. ill wedding the waters of the Colorado river to the deep rich soil of the desert is going to result in the biggest success that has been known in this country of wonderful successes, and accompanying that feel ing there is another, and that is than unless the people of San Diego and the board of supervisors do something i'll the uniting line, someone is going to get left, and someone is the people who do not act. The chamber of com merce committe is becoming quite alive to the situation, and it will be before the board of supervisors at the session of next week to urge that action be taken, and that the the action be forci- ble A railroad the board of super they can build, and the committee will urge such wagon road as will be reas- onably easy of travel and which will be practically certain of calling stage line into existance. "If we do not do something to link the two portions of the country together, "said one of the members of the chamber of commerce committee yesterday, i've will find the link of business and interest is joined the other way, and that business will never be turned back this way, and that that interest will soon lead the people of the eastern part of the county to ask that, being seperated from us in interest, they be seperated i'll fact. Something ought to be done right now. "
 One proposition which will be laid before the board will be that as the members of the board, as we'll as most of the rest of the people of the city ,are unacquainted not only with the way to the desert, but also with the develop ment which is being undertaken and accomplished on a portion of that des- ert, party be made up of the members of the board, some of the members ot the chamber of commerce, the county surveyor, and others, and that a trip to the desert be made, going out by way of Campo, and returning by way of Julian. The necissity for doing some thing, and a possible way for doing it, will possibly be found at the same time. The committee will proba ply attend the Monday session of the board, and if necessary arrange for later hearing.
Imperial press., 1901-05-11

CdtS IOI all lInpIONcu uCSSit hOdu' 1 good road would not prove very ex- pensive to build," he said, ''and it is my opinion that if it is not done soon there will be no need for it, as the trade of that section will have started some other way and it will be a most difficult thing to switch it over to San Diego. A great deal of business is going to be done in the New River section and if the merchants of San Diego don't bid for it, the merchants of Los Angeles will. The people whom met at Imperial told me that if there was good road to this city, this being the nearest place, they would be glad to come here. hope the supervisors will make the trip for the purpose of examining both routes and that something tangible will re- suit from the inspection.
 
 II think that fairly good road can be built without great expense. Tam satisfied that if the county could not afford to bear the expense, it would pay the merchants to do so, for they could make money by it, as there is going to be d great deal of business to be had in that section.
 The Desert Road Project Before Supervisors
 The following extracts are taken from Tuesdays Union.
 The necessity of building a good wagon road to the New river section of the county and the advantages to be derived therefrom, were presented to the board of supervisors yesterday by committee from the chamber of commerce, consisting of George w. Marston, M. F. Heller, E. J. Swayne and H. P. Wood, and also by Col. S.. w. Ferguson, general manager of the Imperial Land company. The supervisors gave close attention to the remarks, and although no action was taken at this meeting the members of the board seemed willing to assist in establishing better communications between San Diego and the desert country. Supervisor Jasper, in whose district the road is incl uded, said it would be impossible to raise money enough by taxation in his territory to make first class thoroughfare, but if the merchants of San Diego would help, he said the road would be built. It was intimated by several of the speakers that the business men would undoubtly be glad to assist rather than have the paoject fall through. It is not lawful to take the money of one road district and spend it for roads in another.
 Col. Ferguson was the first speaker to address the board. He said he was little surprised that he should be call ed upon to present the matter, as he thought the chamber of commerce had the question in hand. However, he said he belived the time was ripe for a connection to be established between San Diego and the desert. "The ques- tion is, how to present it in the proper shape" he said. "It would be well if the members of the board could see their way clear to make trip by way of Campo and return over the Julian -oad ,,aL;nua a DersOuaI ;nveSti pation
