tific Thought and Practice.

4. BY the use Of the silo we are en-
abled to store the greatest amount of
feed in the least possible space.
5. The necessity of purchasing large
amounts Of commercial feeds is largely
done away with.
6. The producing capacity of the
farm and the herd is increased, thus
necessarily increasing the profits of
this branch of our work.
I. Il is the cheapest and best supple
mentary feed that can be provided,
thus obviating the danger of too closely
cropping the pasture.
These are by no means all the ad-
vantages to be derived from the use of
the silo, but enough to convince the
most skeptical that it fills a long-felt
want and its use is long step toward
improved dairying.
When planning a silo two ideas
should be kept constantly in mind-the
necessity OF using the entire surface at
least every forty-eight hours, and the
fact that the bottom five feet is worth
about as much as the top ten. To illus
trate, if we have a herd of twenty-five
COWS and desire to feed an average of
SO 1-3 pounds of silage per day for a
period of 300 days, we will need 1875
tons.
A silo of 16 feet in diameter and 80
feet high has a capacity of 1873 tons, the
required amount, and will give
much better satisfaction than will one
of greater diameter and less height. l
have seen in Minnesota a silo "a feet in
diameter and "a feet high, the first one
built in my home county. While this
silo will store a large amount of feed
still it is by no means satisfactory to
its owner owing to the large surface
exposed to the air With greater
height and smaller diameter the pres
sure would be greater, expelling the air
more completely and resulting in a bet
ter quality of silage. A safe rule, is
! this, the height should be twice the
diameter,
After five years experience with the
silo l am fully convinced there is
TO single adjunct that the dairymar
can adopt from which he will derive
the advantage obtained by the use o.
the silO.

cream color, or even a butter-like yellow.
1t is sufficiently toned from the dead white
of the originally uncolored oleo to enable
it to pass muster for butter in a great ma
jority of instances. AS a matter of fact
dairy butter is often paler in tone than
some of the ''uncolored'' cleo now on the
market.
The purpose Of the law being to prevent
the fraud of oleo being sold in the name
and at the price of butter. it remains to be
seen whether that end has been achieved
If this 'uncolored' oleo, paying the trifiing
tax of one-fourth of a cent pound. Is
being fraudulently marketed by the old
familiar processes Of label removal and re-
stamping. then some new law will be neces-
sary. The trainers Of these bills, however
anxious for the protection Of the dairy IN
terests and the pockets of the people, have
rarely demanded that the law shall stipu-
late that oleo shall be made white. But II
there is no other way to accomplish the end
of justice in this regard it may be neces-
sary that the existing law be amended to
provide that the cleo paying the nominal
revenue tax shall never approach closer to
a certain standard butter color than a spe-

Roosevelt and Burroughs.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The President will probably find John
Burroughs far better company than any
rifle for the next two weeks In the Yellow
stone Park. He will learn more about ma
ture in that fortnight than he ever learned
from all the guides among whom he has
an extended acquaintance. The change will
do the President good. There are thou
sands of his admirers who believe that
wild creatures We're made for something
better than targets, who will be glad of
this association with the gentle Burroughs
in the depths of the wilderness 1t will be
restful. and even Mr.. Roosevelt may get
too much strenuousness If he persstently
keeps up the pace on vacation as we'll as
at work. This switch from the surround
ings OF hunting camp to nature, philos-
ophy and poetry, without violence or blood
shed. illustrates another facet of the mind
Of the most many-sided President we have
had. Mr.. Roosevelts own standing in the
literary world would be considerable If II
were not overshadowed by his emnence in
political life. and his fondness for liter
airy fellows" is well known. His selection
Of this particular genius, humanitarian
and friend of all the little people of the
earth and air for his companion illustrates
the variety of the Presidents interests.

These men. with Mr.. Aldrich at their head
will prepare at their leisure, after a thor
ough investigation of the financial condi-
tons, bill designed to meet the emer-

call for full debate. and the opposition will

The Labor Problem.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger


1t will be strange il the many and power-
fui influences which are now so actively
engaged in the solution of the labor proh-
lem upon an equitable basis should result
In failure. Some Of the best minds of the
country are now considering the question
more seriously and earnestly than they
have ever done. 1t will be commonly rec
ognized that this activity is not only desir-
able, but necessary. The dissensions of
capital and labor are unusually numerous
and some of them are being fought out
with both. determination and bitterness
There are obvious causes for the existing
conditions in the labor world One is the
conviction OF labor that it Is not receiving
a fair share of the wealth which it CONTENDS
1t creates. Another Is that the cost of the
necessaries OF life has been SO largely in
creased during the last three or four wears
as to render an advance OF wages essential
to comfortable living. 1t is not bread. fuel
and shelter alone that labor demands as
its due: 1t asks that its children of tender
age shall be sent to school, not to the fac
tory or mine, to the end that they NAV
have chance to achieve such material
success as education assures or promises
Labor similarly demands that 1t shall be
paid something over and above the price of
comfortable living; it wants a wage from
which a portion can be put by for the
proverbiai rainy day and for old age. in
which no man can work, but still must
live.

The latest enactment by Congress on the
subject of oleomargarine was intended to
check the sale Of artificial butter under the
name OF the pure article and at butter
prices 1t provided for the imposition of a
merely nominal revenue tax on uncofored
oieo and for tax of ten cents a pound on
oleo colored to resemble butter. The law
was drawn on the theory that the colored
oleo. resembling butter. and therefore like
iy to be sold In its name should be so
heavily taxed that there would be no pre-
MUM upon such a substitution and fraud.
AT the same time there was no disposition
TO prevent people from securing artificial
butter at low prices if they were SO in
clined but 1t did assume that they should
be willing. as their share of the process of
fraud prevention. to take their oleo uncol-
ored and thus distinguishabie as such.
Internal revenue Office reports received
thus far during the period covered by the
laws enforcement. little more than
eight months. It is stated, show that the
expectations OF the bilfs promoters, chiefly
embracing the dairy interests, are far from
being realized in the results of the statute
The total production of oleomargarine in
that period decreased only 80 per cent from
the corresponding period of the previous
year. II Is believed that this decrease was
due to the early efforts of the manufactu-
rers to readjust their business to the new
conditions. and that the next fiscal year,
barring the enactment of new legislation.
will show resumption of the average pro-
duction and consumption of the artificial
commodity. 1t is further indicated that
only the very smallest fraction of the cleo
made was artificiaily colored, paying the
high tax of ten cents pound. The great
bulk of the $1,000. 600 pounds marketed in

Peace.

The English king and the German empe-
ror are men Of pronounced personal charm
The uncle is the more genial. Cordial In
address. he sets everybody at ease. and Is
approached by both ministers and friends
in spirit of confdnce and affection. AS
was said of one of his predecessors, he
likes play and he likes work. and he knows
how to do both. The nephew is of differ
ent type, but still possesses powers of fas-
cination. He is not all war lord. by long
shot Many-sided and very Industrious he
yet finds time after disposing of the great
mass of official matter brought to his at
tention to look into the lighter things of
life and to enjoy his friends. All who have
met him. and Americans in particular.
testify to the animation. the sympathy and
the agreeableness of his bearing.
These two sovereigns are now on little
journeys-swinging around the circle as
we say. Both are enjoying themselves very
much and meeting with very hearty re-
ceptions. King Edward is having what is
called the time of his life: and before re-
turning home he will go to Paris and pay
his respects to President LQubet Later his
visit will De returned by the French presi-
dent. which WIFI give the king a chance at
home to show some additional good feeling
for France. The kaiser seems to have cap
tivated the whole shooting match at CO.
penhagen. The Empress Dowager of Rus
sia was there at the time visiting her
father. and she is reported to have been
most fayorabiy impressed with the German
guest. IF all Germans were like the en-
peror.' she is quoted as saying IT would
be friend of Germany" Maybe the meet
ing will result in her revising her opinion
of the German people and in her becoming
a friend of Germany at the court of her
son.
All of this makes for peace. The London
public and the Partisan public may make
faces at each other across the channe., but
with King Edward and President Loubet
exchanging visits. and each complimenting
the others cigars. the passions of the
crowds will be restrained. And the effect,
indirectly. on Russia and Germany will be
good. The king and the kaiser are on
friendly terms. and the car and the Presi-
dent of France are full f1edged allies Any
improvement. therefore. in the Official re-
lations between Great Britain and France
must necessarily extend beyond those two
countries and reach their friends The ho-
rizon. indeed is unusually clear. Why not
long peace? The stories from China and
turkey are. we may hope. probably exag-
gerated; but. taking them at their face
value. why should they threaten the world?
