"A Tribute to Weather Conditions in
Western Canada.

During the early portion of February,
of this year, the Middle and Western
States suffered severely with the in
tense cold and winters storms. Trains
were delayed, cattle suffered, and there
was much general hardship. While
this was the case, throughout Western
Canada, now attracting so much atten-
tion, the weather was perfect.
One correspondent writes: I'VE are
enjoying most beautiful weather, the
gentlemen are going to church without
top coats, while the ladies require no
heavier outer clothing than that af-
forded by light Jackets" In contrast
with this 1t is interesting to read in a
st. Paul paper of February 13 the fol-
lowing, in double headlines, and large
bold-faced type:

Workers Wanted.

Negroes, negroes everywhere, and
not a man to work, is the plight
OF the south. In constructive opera
lions during the last year the negro
laborer was found willing to work
at exceptionally high wages, for about
half the time. In railroad work, we
are informed by reports from that
section. the men averaged about IL
days each month. Wages are on a
steady increase, many cities paying
from $3.50 to 81 per day. With
white employees an increase of wages
generally is followed by a marked
additional effort. Not so with the
dark man, on whom an advance in the
wage scale produces exactly the OPP
posite effect He works only long
enough for actual maintenance. and
with augmented wages he promptly
makes direct and corresponding re-
duction in effort. His improvidence
and shiftlessness is reflected in the
sections annual reports, which show

extent of this economic loss being de-
fined in the statement that about one
half the entire population of the coun-

negro descent. Meanwhile the south's
industrial expansion has produced a
labor demand which is supplied Meth

the arrival of aliens.

Motoring Makes Eat.

Women who are afraid of growing
fat and adding adipose tissue should not
motor much. Nothing increases the
appetite like rushing through fresh

slow and too tiresome, so that, like hens

II it is desired to retain the figure, a

at least not all day, and should take care
to indulge in brisk walk, ride, or
bicycle run as well, in order to exercise
the muscles and keep them supple and

HANDLING CORN FOR FEEDING
Corn Cut and Cured in the silo A
Incomparably Better Than
the Dry Slower.

l have no experience with shredded
slower, of which there is SO much said
now, but it seems to me that stock can
not find in it great value as tutriment
food. Corn left in shocks for two
months or more, with free circulation
Of air around and through the shocks,
drives out most of the virtues as food,
the stock eating it as they would dead
grass in the fields in winter
Why should there be any shredding
done, when most nutritious and sue
culent food is much easier obtainable
in silagei
Corn cut and cured in the silo is
worth incomparably more than slower;
never spoils; can be put up in wet or
dry weather, and stock love it above
every other food fed them.
Some years ago DR.. R. H. Lewis, Of
Raleigh, in some newspaper, declared
q horse could be fed well q whole day
on less than five cents Of ensilage,
or that ensilaged corn cost not ovef
five cents per cwt, including every ex-
pense. This l am sure is true, and why
every farmer does not have him silo
is accounted for on the ground that
they are not familiar with this most
valuable feed. Some lands will pro-
duce $1,000 pounds corn per acre, but
most any land can be made to yield TO-
600 pounds per acre. Why this en-
silage question is not talked and urged
more than it is seem strange, for it is
the best and cheapest food known

The use of molasses in Louisiana for
feeding live stock has now been thor
oughly inaugurated, and we believe will
grow rapidly from year to year, until
all the plantation live stock will be fed
with 1t, and suficient live stock will
be bought by many plantations to con-
sumo any excess.
The same problem is confronting the
beet and sugar factories In the north
and west. In Michigan the farmers
seemed entirely Indifferent, and re-
fused to experiment with beet pulp,
even to carrying it away from the fac
tories where they could get it free Of
cost. One Of the factories there is max
ing large shipments down into Ohio,
where it is selling pulp at $3.50 per ton.
Better success has been made by the
farmers father west, and very consid-
cradle cattle feeding has been done
with beet pulp in California, and now
we have from Professors Carlyle and
Griffith, of the agricultural experiment
station at Fort Collins. Utah, Bulletin
No. 102, in which the value of sugar
beet pulp. alfalfa hay and ground corn
are considered for fattening steers. AL
falfa hay being so strong in nitrogen 10
almost necessary to complete q ration
Of any ordinary carbohydrate, such a.
Louisianan molasses, or even western
beet pulp. The conclusions reached
are that sugar beet pulp is now .
cheaper and better food than ground
corn when fed with alfalfa hay for
fattendng steers. Alfalfa hay is prob
ably cheap at Fort Collins, and COM
parsons for the rest of the county
would be hard to make on that account.
Alfalfa is quoted at Fort Collins at
IS per ton, and sugar beet pulp at
$3.50 per ton. The results of the ex-
periments in fattening steers with the
combined food were very satisfactory.
