A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Well Known Citizen of New Or.
leans is in Brownsville-Inter-
esting Interview.

Judge Louis z. Bryant, one of the
best known attorneys and business
men of New Orleans, arrived in the
city yesterday via Matamoros from
Monterey, Mex. Judge Bryant ex-
pressed the belief that the future OF
Brownsville is more promiseful than
that of any other city in the South
west, his home city excepted.
He said in an interview with a
HERALD representative that the best
thing this city could do just now
would be to authorize a bond of at
least $250,0O0 for municipal i'm
proyements. He is an earnest adj
vocate of the city owning and operat-
ing its public utilities and cited
New Orleans as an example of what
IS being done by other cities the
country over. New Orleans has late
ly voted to sanction the issue of
$14, 100000 worth of bonds for mu-
nicipal improvement.
Judge Bryant said that the Cres-
cent City first granted the franchise
to all women taxpayers, who, how
ever, were allowed to vote by proxy,
if they preferred doing so. In that
way the friends of municipal own
ership succeeded with their plans.
Women formed themselves into
parties of canvassing committees
and would call on the representa-
tive business men of the city, pre-
senting the facts in favor of NUM-
cipal ownership of public utilities,
and with their persuasive powers,
and possessing statistic. and logic
to support their position, they were
remarkably successful in carrying
the vote Of the city for the affirma-
tive side of the issues at stake.
After securing the pledges of the
business men, the majority of the
ladies selected men to cast their own
ballots, thus they were not compell-
ed TO mix and mingle with the rab-
bic on election day.
Judge Bryant further stated that
the citizens of New Orleans selected
a committee to visit other cities
where municipal ownership had
been adopted and observe the points
OF advantage on either side of such
policy, besides gathering facts from
cities all over the world that bave
tried the experiment, and the report
of the committee being favorable to
municipal ownership, the issue was
then forced, with the results as Civ
en-.
Judge Bryant said that if Browns
Vile will authorize an issue Of
$250,000 OF bonds and put in water
works, electric light plant and a
city sewerage and paving system ii
would be the salvation and the
making of the city, and that within
a very few years the taxable values
of Brownsville would in consequence
be at least $1O,OOO,OOO, and we
would have a city at the mouth
of the Rio Bravo second to none in
the great Southwest in commercial
Importance, in healthfulness, in
the beauty of its homes and in the
strength and grandeur of its business
establishments.

This makes a fairly good ration with
out buying any feed. We hope 500
to have clover enough to feed without
selling timothy and buying alfalfa.
In other words we intend to raise our
own feed, and believe we a keep
forty head on forty acres. We have
already found out that we a cut
clover early and put in silo for sum-
mer feeding, cut a good second crop
and cure it for hay, cut a third crop
10 or 20 inches high for the silo on
top or corn. This raises an immense
amount of feed per acre and enables
us to cut down the amount of land in
pasture, by feeding clover silage dur
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-02-01

of the silage will do that. Some
think it necessary to draw doors to
their places with bolts. We hinged
ours on. When silo is filled to door it
lis closed and silage tramped against
III. We have had no trouble. After
the boards were all on cement was
tflled under the ends of boards and
upon the boards an inch or two, to
prevent leaking. Before we began
filling the silo some poor hay was
spread over the bottom, thinking
silage would rot on the bottom OF silo,
but it did not. The cattle ate the last
of the si1age and also the hay, al
though they were on good pasture.
Our peas and oats were pretty ripe
before the silo was ready, so ripe that
we were afraid to put them all in.
What we did put in we wet we'll and
it all came out in good shape.
In filling we drop the silage on a
platform near the top of the silo
with our tray fork or sings, and pitch
it down with fork, spreading it around
as we throw it down, and one of, the
boys tramp it around the sides thor
oughly. In putting in peas, oats or
clover, we cut only what we a put
in that day, but corn we cut usually
after the first frost in order to let the
corr ripen as long as possible. We
raise only an acre or two and can cut
it down in one day, throwing it In
piles on the ground, about sc hills to
a pile. In hauling WI use only the bed
of our tray rack, piling the stalks
crosswise, the butts first one way and
then the other. We make our load
in three parts and use three sings,
this enables us to take a load up n
drop it on our platform at three
drafts, and leaving the stalks lying
straight as when piled on the wagon.
In putting in the silo n man takes
the stalks, an armful at a time, and
drops it into the silo, but all one way,
the other man lays the stalks in rows,
butts of the first row to the wall, the
butts Of the second row in the ears
OF the first row and SO on across, lay
ing some stalks against the wall on
the tops of the last row. Then for
the next layer we put the butts
against the opposite wall, always
keeping the sides well filled and
tramped, as here is where the silage
will spoil if anywhere. We plant
either Cory's early sweet corn, or bet
ter a small dent corn that we have,
that grows only five or six feet high,
but natures a larger quantity of ears
and makes grand feed for all stock
including horses and hogs.

The first season after putting in our
early peas and oats we cut some Sec
ond crop clover, put in and covered
with dry hay and boards, letting it
stand until corn was ready. On open
ing the silo to put in the corn we
found the clover spoiled down a foot
or more. eve should have put several
barrels of water on it, then the
boards would have been unnecessarily
After putting in the corn we put in
some late peas and oats that were
pretty green, then some oats that
were sowed as a nurse crop for clover
after first crop of timothy had been
taken off. Finishing with second
crop timothy and covering again with
boards, and without wetting down.
We commenced feeding from silo
Jan. LIST, the timothy was spoiled for
about two feet, the balance kept
well and was eaten with a relish. The
pats were not liked as well as corn
or peas and oats, as they had stood so
late after the rains began that COWS
would eat only the heads when put
in the silo. They seemed to like the
silage better than the green oats.
We fed bran with all silage except
the ripest peas and oats. AS soon as
we began this silage we stopped feed
ing grain. The yield of milk increas-
ed quite ~perceptibly and continued
without change until we turned out
to pasture six weeks later. We con-
tinued to feed silage as long as it
lasted and it seemed to be relished
as we'll as in the winter. We fed ten
COWS about 80 pounds per day from
Jan. LIST to May 18th, besides, feeding
calves, heifers and horses more or
less. This is about what we fed the
COWS, with corn or clover silage-
silage 80 pounds, roots 10 pounds, tim
othy hay Is pounds, bran Az pounds,
at a cost of 10 cents per COW.
This is a poorly balanced ration,
and creamery check just about paid
for it. Thinking that the cows were
somewhat to blame we sold some of
them for beef. This year we began
feeding from the silo as soon as full
and had no loss excepting a little
along the sides, even the corn stalks
were eaten.
This year we sold our timothy hay
and bought alfalfa at $3.50 per ton.
We can figure out a little profit, al
though we have only four cows in
full milk, and nine heifers and strip
pers.
We are now feeding 80 pounds peas
and oat silage, 10 pounds beets, IL
pounds alfalfa and 8 pounds timothy
