DAlRYlNG WITH SILAGE.
It Is tho Only Successful Method
Getting the Best Results from
the Silo.

The dairy farmer who undertakes to
carry his operations through the win
ter without silage has uphill work all

er seeds down 20 or Is acres every year,
keeps his straw under cover and grows
q good field of corn for silage every
year. The solution of the question Of
making cheap milk lies in the silo, for.
In the opinion of the Farmers Review,
good corn silage is undoubtedly the best
and cheapest milk-producing food that
has yet been grown. To get best results
it must be made from well-matured
corn, and intelligently fed. The cutting

most people imagine. In the first
place good, well-built cutters must be
employed, for after the corn is cut in
the field. it should be put through the
cutter and into the silo as rapidly as
possible. The shorter the lengths are
cut the closer they pack in the silo;
hence use q machine which has ample
capacity. to do the cutting in short
lengths and do it fast. Just keep in
mind that you are handling green
stun, with the object of putting it up
green. It is no trick to make good
ssilage-hefe is the recipe: Cut the
corn when the kernels are we'll glazed;
fill the silo as rapidly as possible; cut
the stalks into pieces, say an inch long

the corners we'll; see that the silo is
perfectly air-tight-then you have it. !:

HINTS FoR \ COW STABLE.
No Objection q storing Hay n the
M d Loft II the Flooring b @,,
w TIGHT. ~, + \. \,

There Is often q doubt In the mtnds
Of some dairymen whether room over
which hay Is stored can be safely used
for sanitary milk production, says H
e. Cook, of New York. This sentiment
is no doubt based upon the loose cell
ing Of former years from which char
and dirt were constantly falling. It
can have no foundation in fact, when
the stable ceiling is constructed as
herein described. In our northern latt-
tudes, living rooms for COWS should
not be over eight and .one-half to nine
feet from floor to ceiling. We are there,
fore compelled to build floor between
the animals and the roof. Why not
use this loft for storage, whether it be
high or low? A track with car can be
placed in the ridge Of this loft,
where it is not convenient to drive
above, and hay can be filled in easily
and cheaply. If the ceiling is perfectly
tight, as 1t should be, there can be no
objection . storing hay or straw above
the stable Only q few of the certified
diaries hatA hay in separate building;
the dust Of hay is, of course, the chief
objection. It the hay could be thrown
down into { narrow room separated
from the cow stable by a partition, there
can be no good objection to this arrange
ment. e.. = rr4;f :s:a.a.lE r.
When the building is narrow, or when
1t Is not considered advisable to drive
into the cowroom for manure, the mod
ern track and carrier are convenient and
serviceable; use one that is easily and
quickly raised and lowered for filling.
It should also be high enough from the
ground when run out of doors to dump
into a wagon and thereby save one
handling Of the manure. 1t should be
said that many dairymen prefer this ar
rangement because considerable dirt is
unavoidably brought into the stable
when the manure is collected with q
team. In my personal experience this
objection Is more than offset by the con-
Of the method. Convenience in
feeding makes it essential that the
granary, silo and root storage should
be at the most readily accessible point,
and stock can be cared for moro quick
ly and more cheaply If all the working
parts of the building are in the ground
floor. Such construction might en-
tail more barn roof, but the ex-
ira expense Of this would be fully Offset
by the lessened labor in caring for tho
stock.

GONE TEN DAYS.
It Is That Long Since ROiess-

st. Petersburg, May 2S.-The Associ-
ated Press was informed at the admir-
atty that no direct advices have been
received from Vice Admiral Rojestven-
sky for ten days when it is believed
he set out on his long voyage. The re-
port Of Rojestvensky' death was ridi-
culed at the admiralty.
The sending of Vice Admiral Birileff
to Vladivostok it is now explained is a
natural precautionary measure for the
purpose of having an energetic com
nander at VladiVostok to replace Ro-
jestvenszy in the event that the latter
is killed or disabled during the coming
sea fight no doubt being entertained
that if the fleets come together Admiral
TogO's vessels will concentrate their fire
on the Russian flagship. Should Ro-
jestvenslxy come out of the fight victor

will be rewarded by appointment to the

WHO IS LENHARr?
Swiss Inquiries About Brother Form
erIy in Santa Fe Shops.

Emil Lenhart, of Thalweil, Canton
zurich, Switzerland, addressed a letter
t oBGayor Davis this morning. Len
hart addressed his communication in
the mother tongue of his country, and
it took some expert deciphering to
find out what he wanted. Emil states
that he has had a brother, John Len
hart, in Topeka working as a ma
chinist for the Santa Fe in the shops
in 1901, but that he has not heard
from him since May of that year and
is under the belief that his brother has
since died. He has been given to un-
derstand that small estate belonging
to his brother is due him and asks
Mayor Davis to assist him in locating
its whereabouts. He claims to be the
only sole relative living. No informa-
ton exists at the Santa Fe hospital re-
garding the death Of any man by the
name Of Lenhart.
Emil Lenhart's address is ThaIweil,
Canton Zurich, Switzerland. He states
that he is a dyer by occupation and is
employed by Herr Figi Restraint.
