Since January last there has
been paid out by the State more
than 100000 for soldiers to sup
press the night riders. The Board
Equalization increased the assess
ment on. far m lands to an amount
that provided $500. 900 of new mon.
ey, thus making the expense of the
soldiers fall on the farmers. AS
there will be soldiers as long as
there are night riders, the quicker
the organization disbands the better.

WEIGHT OF SlLAGE.

An Illinois correspondent writes
VILLAGES Farmer:
will you please give me the num-
Der of cubic feet in "a ton of silage?
have sold some and we cannot agree on
the cubic feet in a ton"
The weight of silage depends on a
number of different conditions. For
example, the depth of the silo, the
diameter, the condition of the corn
when put into the silo, etc. Professor
King In his book on The Physics OF
Agriculture" gives a table showing the
computed weight of well matured corn
silage at different distances below the
surface and the computed feed weight
for silos at different depths two days
after filing. In the case of a silo 10
feet deep is given as 33.1 pounds per
cubic foot, and the average weight for
all the silage in the silo down TO 10
feet 26.1 pounds per cubi foot. For
a silo Is feet deep the weight of the
silage at the fifteenth foot is 40 pounds
per cubic foot, while the average
weight of all of the Is feet of silage Is
29.S pounds per cubic foot. For 20 feet
deep the weight of the silage at 20 feet
Is 46.2 per cubic foot, while the aver
age weight Of all the silage in the 20
feet Is 1873 pounds per cubic foot. At
80 feet the weight of the silage at that
depth is 1914 pounds per cubic foot
while the weight of all the silage In the
silo of that depth is 1876 pounds per
cubic foot.
A silo 90 feet deep and 15 feet in
diameter will hold 5S.S4 tons. A silo
80 feet deep and 10 feet In diameter
105 tons. In the above our correspond
ent can find enough information TO en-
able him to figure out the weight
which should be allowed In his WI
particular case.

BIG SHORTAGE IN CATTLE.

The Chicago Live Stock World sizes up
the present shortage as follows:
While ii was generally conceded that the
available supply in the country was linn
tied, nobody looked for such a famine run
as developed this week. All through May
offerings were far below the normal, but
were pretty well suited to the demand, for
consumption of beef vas lighter than IL
has been for years. Even in the face of
the smallest May receipts in p years,
prices failed TO advance, and even re-
ceded for the lower grades. Since the first
of June receipts have been so small that
buyers have become alarmed. Only $1,000
cattle were received the first five days Of
his week, which is the lightest week in
many years. AS a natural result of this
small contribution prices have advanced
wonderfully, good steers scoring a gain
of 50660c over a week ago. The famine
in supplies now is attributed the mainly
to the fact that corn has been so high dur
ing the past year and that farmers pre-
ferred to sell the cereal than to feed 1t to
stock. Early this year, when the panic
fever was on, many l~iquidated their cattle
In a habitat condition and did not buy
anything to take their places. So far as
fat, w~ell-fnished steers are concerned, it
is believed that the supply will be short
for some time, though in a few weeks 1t
is likely that grassers will come more free
~. The shortage this week was intensi-
fed by the fact that high water In the
southwest cut off the supply from Texas.

The Woodland Brook.

Here. leans the willow listening to hear
The dulcet voices OF the woodland
thrOng,
Interpreting the message of the year
In syllables of song.
From yonder dark and moss entertained
nook
Some tardy reveller Of winter still
Wanders, and sends adown the pebbly
brook
Trill upon icy trln.
over the rocks all silvery they go
Whom April taught her blossom words
of praise,
Chanting the selfsame hymns the thrushes
know
A thousand various ways.
Past lilied bank and cleaning grasses run
The sylvan hosts in swift, melodious
flight,
Paying in song their homage to the sun
And to the starstrewn night.
Children of music! Myriad mountain rills!
! sit beside the leaning willow tree,
And hear the lyric heartbeats of the hills
Go singing to the sea.

Notes Of the Hog Lot.

Reports from southwest Missouri say
that hogs are fattening on the II year
locusts which are very abundant in
that section this year. The woods are
full of them and the hogs seem TO like
them.
If your pigs are running on clover
pasture and you are feeding grain give
II 10 them at night.
Lice are easy to raise with hogs. but
they are not profitable.
After the pigs come feed the SOW
all she can eat of nutritious rations.
A fair amount OF corr will not hurt
her then.
II Is more than probable that there
will be a great deal of soft corn this
fail, particularly liz the northern corn
belt. M hog raisers may have a hard
time getting through the winter.
The best shade is a shed on eleva-
tor over which the wind a sweer
without obstruction. Dusty holes In
fence or In sitting underbrush
are mol desirable.
