Some Aspects of the Message
portland Oregonian0

portland Oregonian)
The discerning reader will lay down
the presidents message with the i'm
preston of a significant change in the
presidential mood. Here is state pa
per deserving to take a place of honor
in our annals. Here is a certain con-
sentative balance. or dignified self-re-
straint by which the writings of Theo-
dore Roosevelt have not been hitherto
characterized. The president is grow
ing He is the same gallant knight
and strenuous fighter as of yore, but he
has been sobered by responsibility
chastened by criticism, uplifted and
strengthened by the influences of great
minds with which he has been sasoci-
ated. The educa tional facilities of the
presidency are very great. Given the
right sort of raw material the fierce
light of friendly counsel and hostile
criticism that bats upon that throne
is certain of an admirable product. Be-
hold the New York politician, called
to the White house by Garfield's
death, rising to the level of states
manship! Behold the Buffalo Sheriff,
now perhaps the first private citizen
of the republic in his retirement at
Princeton Behold Mckinley climbing
from almost nothingness in 1896 to the
pedestal he occupied when a nation
mourned his untimely end nj 1901!
The message is largely a record of
events: and in this aspect it's force is
tremendous as an exhibit in achieve
ment. Here is reminder piled on re-
hinder of the results that have been
crowded one upon the other in the past
two years. Arrogant corporations have
been brought. to book; the Alaskan
boundary dispute has been settled; the
army has been reorganiZed purifi-
cation has been put to work in various
departments of the public service; a
treaty has been negotiated with China
land thieves and owners of illegal
fences have been called to account; a
new chapter has been written in the
controversy between labor and capital
and a new standard set up of equal
justice for trust and union, and for the
first time decisive and promising steps
have been taken in the direction of an
isthmian canal We have a president |
who does things. He is anxious to get |
results in every field of achievement |
where difficulties need to be overcome, |
wrongs made right and long needed |
brought to pass. His initia-
tive is very great. His administration
means progress.

RUSSIA IN THE FAR EAST

The dominance of Russia in the far
east is one of the puzzling questions OF
International diplomacy in the Orient
The persistency with which Russia
figures in Manchurian questions Is no
more marked than the persistency with
which Russia figures in all affairs
along the border land of her Asiatic
possessions,
Nothing has occurred in the last half
century to stop Russias advance and
the border lines of Russian influence
are advanced from year to year and
threaten to extend over the entire
Asiatic continent with the exception of
India, where England holds sway.
The Siberian railroad has given a
plausible excuse for the occupation of
Manchuria. but the purpose to occupy
Manchuria far ante dates the building
of the railroad Rather the road was
built that Manchuria might be occu-
pied.
The prediction a decade ago that
within next half century Russia would
be one of the three world powers is be-
ing made more nearly verified than
looked at that time possible. The tre-
mendous force of Russian aggression is
being felt now in all the civilized world.

SILO DISCUSSION.

O.: Do you think we can keep forty
COWS on forty acres with the silo?
w. J. Langdon: Yes, think so.
Blanchard: l have been experiment.
ing for three years with silo my
self. | argued at first that we could
raise roots better. 1t was my observa-
ton that it was too much risk to plant
corn, owing to conditions here. l
thought silo would be out of the ques-
ton. But after investigation we found
peas and oats as advantageous. East
ern dairymen use only corn. | have
experimental for three years and lost
every year except this year. l built
my silo out of best material l could.
After these trials l satisfied myself
that peas and oats would be all right
if we could get the silo made right. The
silo must be alright, and it must be
so from the time the silage is put into
it. At first l argued that when | saw
the steam coming out of the crevices
that the wood would swell and be-
come alright later. But l found too
large percentage spoiled This last
season l knew of no better way than
the plan Mr.. Gurler advised. | went
to work and ran lattice up and down
a foot apart. Then 1 put lath over, as
you would lath room. Then l &C.
mented it, and then I knew it was a
fair test. And it proved that my i'm
preston that the silo must be air
tight from the beginning was correct.
1t was spoiled little around the
edges, but I am told that this would
not have occurred if the silage had
been sprinkled around the edges.
We can not only use peas and oats,
but we can use clover. This l know
from actual experience. I cut the 10th
of June. I have become convinced
that we must master this problem
thoroughly. We must know proper
stage for putting crop in silo. l find
the oats must be well in the
dough. Wait until the top kernels
are we'll in the dough, and the peas
getting good and hard, just on the full
pod I have no difficulty in keeping
my COWS up to a good flow of milk all
winter I I'm satisfied I can carry
them through with very little feed.
believe the finest feed we can get is
oats and peas, properly cured in the
SllO.
very prominent point is the height
of silo | would build silO thirty
four feet deep, if l was going to put
in peas and oats uncut.
D. Hamm l had little talk with
Mr.. Carlyle of Wisconsin and he says
that they have hollow stems, and the
air in them is liable to spoil silos.
Blanchard: Now, these Eastern men
think of nothing but corn. And tell
you we Western Washington people
can whip those Eastern fellows in the
dairy business.
Now, what l want to state is that
we have these problems to solve our
selves, and we are abundantly able to
solve them, regardless of what any
Eastern man says. They DON'T I'M
derstand the conditions here. l would
rather have my silo filled with peas
and oats than any silo filled with corn.
Peas and oats are the most natural
feed we can raise. If we want to cut
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-02-15

VIM. F. lett: Why does Mr.. Lang
don hoist his silage onto platform
and then drop in silo?
Langdon: Because l can then dis
tribute more evenly.
lett: l am satisfied that corn is
not success here. I have tried prin-
cipally clover.
How long, Mr.. Langdon, does it take
you to fill your siko?
Langdon: AS fast as two men can
pitch it in.
lett: Well, that's all right in a
small way, but when man has
hundred COWS he. will have to find
some faster way.
Mr.. Alvord: l have had a good deal
of experience, but not much profit. The
greatest objection 1 found was the lack
of nutrition in the corn. One year we
tried cutting corn. We ran a feed
cutter, but had considerable trouble
and were not successful. So far as the
ensilage that year was concerned, it
was fairly good, but the cutting was
too expensive. In this valley they
want no milk from COWS silage-fed at
the cOndensOry.
Prof. Elliott: In connection with
the work at the Agricultural College,
we have done some investigating. The
one principle upon which silage rests
is Keep out the air. You must build
the silo alright and put it in right.
We are successful with silage at the
college. We have not more than B
per cent waste. We grow corn and
find that it must be cut. l don't be-
lieve you will be entirely successful
with peas and oats until you do cut
it. If you are not able to buy cutting
machinery alone, neighbors should CO.
operate and buy machine to be used
together.
Mr.. Sexton: The best success l had
was by hiring a traction engine.
Mr.. E. J. Ross of Bothel It's
business proposition to have the silo.
l think the dairymen should construct
a substantial silo. l wouldn't want
man to put his foot into a silo OF
mine. believe that all that is neces-
sary is to spread it evenly. | have
not been able to get a man to tramp
down the silage. Believe it should be
cut.
Blanchard: We are agreed that the
silo is all right, that it should be air
tight, and that we can grow the feeds.
The great question is whether we
should cut. I think if l had cutter
would cut; but just the same it isn't
necessary. l am satisfied the height
has a good deal to do with it. II l
could cut my material would build
"a feet high; if not, would build 80 to
40 feet, and it would settle.
Prof Elliott in response to a ques-
ton by Mrs. Carmichael of Yakima, said
that he did not believe it would be OF
advantage to put alfalfa in silo. In
that section they raise three crops and
usually have good weather for curing
into hay, and is practically as good
as silage. Roots are good adjunct
with alfalfa.
Some one called attention to the TACT
that the Kent condensory specified In
their contract that no silage be used.
Mr.. Blanchard made hit by say
ing that in the East the factories took
milk from silos. and that he thought
