what Reef Men Think of silage

What Beef Men Think of Silage
The success attending the use of
silage in the dairy business has created
much interest among beef cattle men.
Silage furnishes a succulent food,
which is quite essential to the dairy
SOW in keeping her digestive system in
good condition. The same will be found
true for the beef animal. Twenty
pounds Of silage per day will supply
all the bulk and water needed in a
fattening ration. The other roughage
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy of using
silage for fattening purposes is well
brought out by Prof. A. NJ. Soule of
the Virginia station, who has stated the
following conclusions:
There was a difference of from IS
to % of n pound of grain per head per
day in favor of the silage-fed cattle.
They also finished out better and In
any discriminating market would GER
tainly bring a better price than the
dry-fed cattle.
of the three forms of roughage FED,
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, and there was absolutely no
loss, whereas with the stover the loss
amounted to 1875 per cent and with hay
4.16 per cent. Where large number
of animals are fed this would make a
considerable difference in the cost of
ration, except that the shredded stover
can be utilized to advantage for bed,

Silage as 1t is put up to-day is bet
ter than when the practice was first
started. Good silage of corn is made
when the grain has passed the milk
stage and has commenced to glaze lit
tie. Silage Is made also from sorghum.

After forty-six days of imprisonment 1000 feet below ground A. D. Bailey, r. J. Brown and Fred Mcdonald, the three miners caught in the collapse or a shaft of the GirouS mine, at Ely, Ney.. were taken out alive and well by the men who for almost two months had been digging into their living tomb. Their rescue establishes a new record in the worlds history of mining, and their experiences are unparalleled amid the many thrilling tales in the annals of miners.
 AS Bailey, the first Of the prisoners, reached the mouth of the main shaft, leaning upon the arm of a comrade, all the whistles and bells in the camp and town began sounding. The crowd about the mine started a cheer which lasted continuously for five minutes, until after Mcdonald aud Brown were brought tc the surface.
 All three appeared in fair physical condition. The mental strain upon them showed in the few halting words they were first able to address to their friends. but after few hours rest

We knew in case the six inch pipe was broken 1t was all oG with US. But finally we could hear some one ham. mering on the pipe line.

perature in the station was 100 de- grees before the cave and the dust was so fine and thick that 1t could have been cut with knife.
 After sending down enough air to last for time they found an old can somewhere on top and filled 1t with water and lowered it down the six inch water pipe.
 "A note was sent from the surface, telling us to connect our telephone to the transmission cables that were in service for our electric pump. We connected as instructed. and we were able to talk with the surface.
 We took oil and waste and soaked 1t, so that we were not troubled with dust, and it was quite pleasant there. We did not sleep any for the first three nights. The only place we had to lie was on the station floor, and it was cold and damp, and our nerves were strung up to G.
 "On the seventh day we found an old canvas wagon cover that was used to cover the motor when they were blasting in the shaft. We made one bunk and on the next day made an- other and on the next made the third, so that we each had a bunk. After completing our hunks we wanted some bedclothes, so we telephoned to the surface, and they got some blankets. By cutting them into pieces about 6 inches by 36 Inches and flashing them to the rope they, lowered them down and also sent us needles. We sewed them together and had a pair of blan- kets each.

all of the men were able to discuss in detail their experiences while awaiting rescue. Bailey gave a graphic descrip- ton of their strange experiences.
 BaIey's story begins with the early events of the day of the disaster. He states that about 9:3O in the morning he was at work in the 1000 foot ievel upon a pump trainer. He continues:
 "Au of a sudden the tank became so full of dust that ! could hardly see, and I went to the back of the tank for a few minutes to get out of the dust, thinking 1t would stop. but it kept com- ing faster.
 "T was running for the telephone when Mcdonald fell into my arms and called. Bailey, Bailey! But realizing the danger we were in, I stood McDon- ald against the wall of the pump sta ton and went to the telephone and caSed up the engineer at the surface, telling him to shut off the steam. By the time l got through telephoning and stepped out of the booth l discovered Mcdonald and Brown in the pump sta ton, but there was so much dust on them and the dust was so thick at the station that 1t was difficult to tell who they were.
 "But by this time l realized that the shaft was caving, and knew that our only salvation was the six inch water pipe. so while my companions, ex- hausted from climbing the shaft, were resting a few minutes I saw the six inch gate valve was open.
 "The three of us got what old log ging and old boards we could find and placed them so they blocked great deal of dirt back into the shaft, as we were afraid it would come out into the station and cover the end of our six inch pipe. After resting a short time we went back into the station, and with the aid of a hammer, cold

OF LEE WILLARD

Scarcely had Mr.. Lee Willard,

profession.
Mr.. willard has the good fortune
to be possessed OF a striking physica,

and outspoken to a surprising de-

Destruction Of a samoan Island.


The wonderful volcano that came
into existence on the island OF Sa-
vail. In the Samoan group. three
years ago next month, has burst
again into tremendous activity. SUR
passing all Its earlier performances.
Reports received late In June say
that the incessant flow OF lava Is
one OF the greatest on record and
amounts TO between 1000 and 1000
tons a minute.
Spreading out In an almost con-
tInuous sheet about eight miles
wide and with depth of six inches
10 six feet, IL is flowing to the sea.
dropping over the ellffs into the
water with many incidental explo-
sIons and great clouds OF steam. At
tacking parts OF the northeast coast
not reached by the earlier eruptIons,
Il is destroying many houses and

southern part OF the island has oe.
CURED.
All the Samoan islands together
are about as large as the state OF
Rhode Island savali. the most west
ern, except for a little rock or two,
Is the largest OF them, having more
than half the total area All the Is
lands are volcanic. but for many gem
erations the natives had seen no ac-
tive volcanic phenomena only a
few years ago Reelus said the vol
canoes OF Sayaii were probably the
latest TO become extinct.
Though the largest OF the is-
lands, sayaii Is far less important
than Upolu. where Apia is n port OF
call for Pacific steamers. On Upo-
Ia the larger part OF the population
and industries is centered. Most OF
sayaii. however. Is still covered with
dense forest. and there are very
few settlements excepting along
parts OF the coast.
II Is supposed to have been about
l5O years ago that the last signs
Of volcanic activity were seen In sa-
vail. The natives OF today believed
themselves perfectly secure and
many OF them had never heard OF
such a thing as volcanic action
though a line OF lava cones extends
from end TO end OF their island. But
in 1902 an old crater about ten miles
west of the present scene OF activity
suddenly burst into violence. The
rising lava had forced out the plug
that closed the crater vent and there
was an exudation OF molten rock. II
was not a very large eruption, for
the stream was less than half a mile
vide and two miles long. Then all
was quiet again. Only sulphurous
yapors were emitted from the crater
and the excitement among the ma
tives subsided TIL II was rekindled
by a remarkable occurrence In
wholly unexpected quarter.
About eight miles inland from the
