Facts About the Silo.


Silage Is as valuable in summer as In
winter.
Thirty pounds a day is enough slage
for an average sized Jersey COW. Larger
cattle will eat more.
A cubic foot of silage from the middle
of medium sized silO will average
about forty-five pounds.
Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet is a good depth. Such a silo would
hold about 200 tons of silage cut in half
inch lengths.
Silage comes nearer being perfect
substitute for the succulent food of the
pasture than any other food that can
be had in winter
Corn just passing out of roasting ear
stage is the best single material for ST.
lage Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined material.
A larger amount of healthful food for
cattle can be preserved in the silo in
better condition, ut less expense of la
boz and land. than by any other method
known
The circular silo, made of good. hard
wood slaves, is the cheapest and best.
For 1872 days. or half a year. an aver
age Jersey COW will require about six
tons of silage. allowing for unavoda-
bic waste.

NEW SHELL INVENTED,
Contains Nitro.Gycerine and Has Proven to
Be Very Destructive.

Oaklandf Cal, Jan. S.-B. G. Pettin-
gell, of this city, has invented a nitro
glycerine projectile. which, if the
claims of the inventor hold good will
prove of great importance. The mech
anism of the invention is a secret, and
ePttinge.l is now negotiating with the
United States government for the sale
of the device. The matter will be con.
sidered by the ordnance department
today.
The invention, Pettingell says. is a
shell that will carry without the least
conclusion from SO to 200 pounds of
glycerine oil as far as the ordinary
shell can be fired by ordinary modern
ordnance. The conclusion necessary
to project the shell. he says. is by his
device reflected back to the sides of
the shell, so that the glycerine oil is
not disturbed in the least.

BELL is NOT so GENTLE.
Is Conducting a Vigorous Campaign to Qusll
the Rebellion In Luzon.

Manila. Jan. S.-General J. Franklin
Bell is conducting vigorous cam
paign in Batangas Province. Every
available soldier is in the field. the
columns under the command of Col
onels Whit and Dougherty are doing
excellent work and driving the Filipl-
nos in all directions. A number of
the latter are fleeing to Tayabas
Province, where the native constabu-
larry are rendering valuable assistance
in capturing men and rifles.
The advocates of peace at Manila
deprecate the stern measures en-
ployed by General Bell. In reply
General Bell says that these peace adj
vocates have had numerous oppor-
tunities to use their influence, as they
have been given passes through the
American lines almost for the asking,
and that it has been afterWard proved
that they often only went through the
lines for the purpose of assisting the
insurrection. General Bell says that
the best peace method now is a rigOr-
Gus warfare until the instruction is
completely subdued.
The arrest of members of the veal
thy Lopez family and the confscatiOn
of their steamers and rice, as well as
the arrest of three members of the
religious corporations, who were
known to be instigators of the insur-
rection, has had an excellent effect
upon the natives.
Conditions in the island of Samar
are still unsatisfactory owing to the
difficulty of finding the insurgents.
Capt. Schoeffel, of the Ninth Infantry
(who was wounded in a severe hand
to-hand fight last month at Dapdap,
Samar Island, between Is men of Com
pany e, of his regiment, and a large
force of bolomen), has practically re-
covered from the effects of his
wound. In an official report of the
encounter. it is said that SchOeffel
killed three men before he received
his wound. and that the remnants of
the detachment of IS men were saved
by his personal courage and daring.
The civil authorities say that the
island of Leyte is now perfectly peace
full. On the other hand, the military
authorities consider Leyte to be dan
gerOus on account of it's proximity to
Samar, if for no other reason.

Old PriucipIes in Farming,

ready cash handled as now. but there
were fewer things for which cash was
needed. for everything needed that
could be produced on the farm was so
produced. 1t Is admitted that in this

Using Abandoned Pastures.

In many sections of the country, but
perhaps more largely in the East. one
will find on the farms fields which had
been used for pasture until they were
no longer profitable for that purpose
and not thought worth breaking up and
re-seeding. Eight out of every ten Of
such pastures could be turned into fer
tile fields by proper handling One ex-
cellent plan for doing this Is to break
up this pasture. manuring it as heavily
as one can afford. and plant to corn
Cultivate the corn several times during
the growing period and SOW. in August
or September. to some cover crop. The
following spring plant to potatoes. Flu
ture crops should be according to fer
tilizing and what one wishes to grow
The main point in this item is to call
attention to the value of these aban
doned pastures for the first crop of
corn. Eniugh corn may be grown to
carry a herd Of pigs to profitable
market and at an expense that will
hardly be felt.-Exchange.

Treatment of Old Orchards.

Many an old and apparently worth.
less orchard might be made Of value by
encouraging the growth of the young
shoots. One orchard of the kind de-
scribed was supposed to be too old to
be worth anything. The large branches
were cut back freely and where
young shoot with much vigor was
found the cut was made so that this
shoot was not injured nor the flow
of sap in the main branch retarded.
Grating was done in some of the small
err branches and the trees bore several
good crops of fruit; more than enough
to pay for the work and the after care
of the soil. True. 1t was taking
chance, but the labor was not great
and the trees We're valueless unless
treated in some such manner.

A MUTUAL MATTER.

The plans for the extension of
the, Warren wagon road into Thunder
Mountain are well under way, and, if
received and acted upon in the proper
spirit by all concerned, the result will
be that the camp will be accessible
to wheeled vehicles by July LIST, or
practically before the work can be-
gin upon other routes. This is a
matter Of mutual interest between
Warren, Meadows, Council, Weiser
and Portland upon the one side, and
Grangeville. Sites, Lewiston and
Spokane on the other. The Port
land merchants are willing to assist
the Weiser side financially owing to
the fact that the business coming to
Weiser will in measure sift through
to Portland. Spokane is interested
because it supplies Lewiston, Sites
and Grsngeville, with which points
We must divide the business coming
out through the common road. The
Portland chamber of commerce al.
ready has quite large amount of
money pledged. The Spokane cham
Der has appointed a committee to
confer with Lewiston, Sites and
Grangeville, and if these towns will
show the proper spirit and activity
there is no reason why, in two weeks,
the forces should not be available to
push wagon road into the new gold
district. This may not be what any
of us want, in fact it will hardly
meet the full wishes of any, but the
object is to get quick action-open
a way to meet temporary and i'm
mediate needs, and this can BIZ done
by adopting the plan of pushing the
Warren extension which is equally
common to all points above men,
toned, and of special advantage to
none; and by thus uniting our inter-
