SILOS AND SILAGE.

a well known dairyman says of the
silo: To my mind the only question
for the small farmer to decide is
whether he has enough land TO pro
duce enough corn and hay, pasturage
or soiling crops TO feed enough animals
to make a slo possible. OF the eco
nomic Importance Of the silo as con
tainer and conserver of feed in the
best condition for cows especially
am as certain as a farmer can be Of
anything.
Stone and Cement Slos.
If the different kinds of silos are
properly built, there will be no differ
ence between them. so far as the quail
ity Of the enslage Is concerned, says
Hoard's Dairyman. They Will all keep
silage equally we'll The difference be-
tween a stone and concrete silo is en-
tlrely one of cost and convenience of
building 4 stone silo needs mason
to lay the stone properly, while ce-
ment silo can be built by unskilled
labor. The only advantage cement
silo has over a wooden one is In its
lasting qualities. Properly built.
stone or cement silo will last indefinite
ly, while wooden silo is good for fif-
teen to twenty years. depending on the
kind and quality of the wood used.
Makes Dairying Profitable.
Professor Is. H. Raw says of the
silo: In the majority of cases you can
not run Il dairy proftably without a
sio. | unhesitatingly recommend il to
every dairyman as one OF the cheapest
means Of producing the best results.
Sllage takes the place of green stuff in
winter and keeps the cattle in good,
healthy condition.
A Valuable Food.
Siage is very low IN protein and
yet is n very valuable food. In fact.
silage has not as much protein ton for
ton as oat straw 1t is valuable be
cause Of its succulence and as an aid
to digestion. Everything that the COW
eats the sllage helps 70 digest Mr.
Gillett understood this or he would not
have fed Colantha 18th Johanna thirty
pounds per day of II during the sixty
three days test. but he realized that
he could not feed COW as much grain
rs he was feeding without having some
succuent food with IL, TO keep the di-
gestive organs in healthy condition.

AUSTRIA ALSO To AVOID
DISARMAMENT QUESTION
Members of Triple Alliance
All to Keep Silent at
The Hague

VIENNA. June 1.-THE attitude or
Austria Hungary at the coming Hague
conference will be substantially SINH
lar TO that of Germany, her ally in
the triple alliance. On the proposition
fer limiting armaments, it is learned
from authoritative sources that. fol-
lowing the example of Germany and
Russia, there will be no participation
whatever in any discussion of the sub
ject, Austria-Hungsry remaining silent
and reserving complete freedom of ac-
ton with reference to what may be
done.
According TO the opinion held in gov
ernment circles here, the position OF
Italy. which was at one time in doubt,
is not likely 70 be different from that
of her allies in the triple alliance.
Concerning the arbitration question
Austria Hungary will follow her pre-
vious course in opposing compulsory
measures. All measures aiming at the
humanizing condition of the conduct
of war are sure TO receive the hearty
support of Austria Hungary
The Austria-Hungarian delegates, as
far as can be learned at present, are
not likely to make any special mo-
tion sat the conference, for, on the con-
trary. they have received strict in
structions to maintain as reserved an
attitude as possible.

CITY ORDINANCE
FORBIDDING FIRE TRAPS"
Attorney Matt Sullivan Argues That
Law Governing Theater Build
ing Is Invalid

In support of the suit of the owners
of the Globe theater TO tie the hands of
the police department with a perma-
nent Injunction, Attorney Matt l. Sui
livan argued in Judge Muraskys court
yesterday that the theater ordinance
was unconstitutional. that it was un-
fairly enforced and that the police who
prevented the opening Of the theater
were trespassers.
A temporary Injunction is now In
force and this enables the owners OF the
theater 10 give regular performances
The trouble with the police was due
to the fact that the promoters of the
Globe obtained license to build $780,
600 auditorium and erected instead q
$4,000 theater. The building is at
Mission and Twenty-fourth streets
Assistant District Attorney Harrison.
in replying to Sullivan, argued that the
imposing of restrictions on a building
designed for use as & theater was a
constitutional exercise OF police power.
He scored the petitioners for coming
into court with unclean hands, pointing
out that they had complied with no
building law and. having no permit.
were engaged in an unlawful business.
Judge Murasky will hear further ar
gument this morning.

WIFE OF EVANGELIST
IS GRANTED DIVORCE
Mrs. Agatha c. Ward Given
Decree on the Ground
of Cruelty
HUSBAND REPENTANT
Drink Wrecks the Life and
Home of Well Known
Preacher
HUSBAND REPENTANT

SAN JOSE, June 11.-A written con-
fession by Rev. Benjamin Wheeler
Ward that. while actively engaged In
evangelistic work, he had formed the
habit of smoking and of drinking. was
part of the evidence introduced today
at the trial of the divorce proceedings
brought by Mrs Agatha Cummings
Ward. An interlocutory decree of d.
vorce on the ground of extreme cruelty
was granted the plaintiff.
The confession was in the form OF q
letter written by DR.. Ward to his wife
after their separation In it he sought
TO explain various acts of cruelty by
saying that he had been possessed by a
demon. He was not himself, he wrote,
TO drink as an aid in his brain work
In conclusion he earnesaly pleaded
with his wife for her love-
Letters written in reply by the wife
were introduced by the defense In
them she agreed that II he showed by
his acts that he was really reformed
and that the "demoniacal possession"
had left him she would return to him.
She stipulated, however. that he must
not communicate with her In any way
for a year, during which period Of time
she agreed not to commence divorce
proceedings.
The year. however. did not convince
her OF mis- sincerity Before it had
passed he tried to see their baby girl,
and according to the mother and a
male relative attempted to steal the
child. AS result of that effort. which
took place some months ago. he car
ried about for some time a badly
bruised eye. He claimed that he had
no desire to steal the baby, but merely
wished to kiss it.
In her complaint Mrs Ward set forth
acts of cruelty committed in many
places where her husband was holding
evangelistic meetings These consisted
of physical cruelties and the applica-
ton of vile epithets. The evidence of
cruelty was considered amply sufficient
by Judge Rhodes to warrant him in
granting a divorce The mother was
given the custody OF the child.

Phelan of San Francisco is in WASH
ington on an errand connected with the
Red Cross work and a project to Sc
cure Hetch Hetchy valley and Lake
Eleanor as the supply of a new water
system for San Francisco. He called
on the president Secretary Garfield.

ested.

the antigraft prosecutors were doing
excellent work, and that he hoped they
would continue until all guilty per-
sons, rich or poor. are convicted and
punished. He addeI that he was sur
prised that Heney and his coworkers
had been able to accomplish so much.
Phelan said he had been assured
that the red Cross authorities were
agreeable to the disposition of funds as
desired by the San Francisco commit
tee The society is waiting to hear
from General Davis, who Is on the
ground representing the society.
Secretary Garfield promised Phelan
that he would go Immediately into the

grant a hearing in San Francisco next
month TO all parties interested. He

terror department that W. S. Tevis,
president of the Bay Cities water COM
pany, and Mayor Schmitz had been
there and protested against the Hetch
Hetchy project, describing it as a pri-
vate water scheme. He added, how
ever, that the department. seemed to
have taken an accurate measure Of
Mayor Schmitz.
