those receiving the tankage gained
1890 pounds. Conditions were other
wise identical. The amount of tank
age used was 259.5 pounds, costing,
laid down, SASS, from which an in
creased hog gain of 422 pounds was
secured. The profit from this opera
ton will be apparent when it is real
ICED that this extra hog gain cost but
little more than one cent per pound.
In view of the fact that consid-
cradle part of the profit is in the hog,
it is important that considerable at
tention be given to the making OF

duce the steam at the bottom and in
the middle of the silos is shown in our
Illustration. The sugar, acidity, and
moisture were determined in the fresh
material and at frequent intervals
when the silage was removed from the
silo. In the case of cut vetch and
whole and cut clover the acid in the
fresh material before ensiling ranged
from 0.1S to OPT per cent, calculated
as acetic acid, and in the steamed
silage when taken from the silo from
0.42 to 0.SS per cent. The sugar in the
cent. to 2.07 per cent. and in the silage
from 0.99 to EOS per cent. In test
in which the silage was not steamed
the fresh clover contained OBS per
cent. acid and the ensiled material
1.01 per cent, the proportions of sugar
in the fresh and ensiled material be-
ing 1872 per cent, and 0.75 per cent.
Another sample of ensiled clover,
which was not steamed, contained 1.16
per cent. acid. In later experiments
kinds (corn, vetch and clover varied
from 1.0I to 1,94 per cent, averaging
LBS, of steamed silage from 0.3 to 0.SS
per cent, averaging 0.5S per cent.
Steaming seems to be more effective
in checking the acid fermentation in
corn than in other crops.
In one of the tests of steamed ST.
age immature corn fodder which had
been touched by frost was used. Full
analyses of the fresh and ensiled ma
terial are reported the acid in the ST.
lage being determined at intervals of
a week for about two months. The
fresh material contained OBS per cent.
acid and 2.43 per cent. sugar and the
material when taken from the silo GAS
per cent. acid and 2.15 per cent. sugar.
For purposes of comparison a full an
alysis was made of ordinary corn ST.
lage. This contained 1.65 per cent
acid and 0.49 per cent sugar. A COM
parison of the two materials led the
author to conclude that the ordinary
silage underwent considerably more
chemical or biological changes than
did the steamed silage, these changes
being indicated by the large increase
in acidity and decrease in sugar The
corn silage was fed to stock
and was found to have suffered very
little injury from the frost

''When the wine is in the wit is out,

the usual modest share of wine at any feast
must have observed that the wit seems to

TREAT SILAGE
WITH STEAM
BY A. l.. KniseIy, Oregon.

The fermentation of silage entails
more or less loss of material, but is
commonly considered beneficial, as 1t
develops flavors and softens plant
tissue.
The amount of material lost when
green crops ferment in the silo has
been frequently studied. In recent
tests carried on at the Canada expert
mental farms with an experimental
silo it was found that corn lost 10 per

who has hogs or to keep them until
hogs may be safely used This advice
does not of course apply with as much
force to weanling calves where one is
fixed for grinding the grain and has
an abundant supply of choice clover
of cowpea hay to go with it, but even
then the hog gains will help out ma
terially in the operation. One cannot,
however, afford to equip for grinding

and when hogs are healthy the grind

FAD OF A JEWELER
Would Rather Sell a Collar
Button Than a Gold Watch.

On a window of a big jewelry store
in this city is an advertisement of a
collar button manufactured by the
firm. A showcase standing near the
door is piled full of these buttons, and
all around the interior are advertise
ments of them. The senior member of
the firm keeps his eye on the collar
button trade all day long.
The store deals in everything per-
tanning to an up-to-date jewelry store,
and the firm is not less noted for its
watches than for other articles sold
from its showcases, but they interest
the customers as they enter, and If
one of them starts out without inspect
ing the collar buttons, wen if the sale
of a diamond has been effected, the
jeweler is at the door first.
81 know you want to look at our
collar button before you leave says
the merchant. Just step over to this
showcase. How many of those buttons
have you sold today, Joe? Only q
thousand? Dropping off a bit on the
sales, aren't you? 1 tell you I'm
prouder of hat little button than l am

At the office of the Mutual Benefit

was said today in regard to a decision
this week of the Massachusetts SUI.
preme Court, sustaining the law Of
1907, which provides that new forms of
policies must conform to the standard
form, or contain similar provisions.
that the New York Life brought the
suit to test the constitutionality of the
law.
The State commissioner of insurance
is given the power in the law to say
whether the policies Of a company com
ply with the standard form, but com
panles can appeal from his decision to
the courts.
The law also provides that life in
surance companies cannot issue acct
dent policies, The Travellers is the only
company interested in the suit that
has issued UGH policies.
The Mutual Benefit, the Aetna, of
Hartford. and the Travellers company
filed briefs in the suit of the New

In Michigan the Mutual Benefit APP
pealed to the courts from a decision Of

won the suit. Last winter several
States enacted laws like the Massa-

II think the new law, which was
passed by the Legislatures of several
States last winter, is good for the

WAS MODEL OF PORTRAIT
OF QUEEN LOUISE.

The death of an old German baritone
singer named julius Muller revives the
story of the picture of Queen Louise OF
Prussia, which is almost as well known
in American households as 1t is in Ger
many. 1t is the picture in7which the
beautiful and unfortunate Queen is
represented in a long while empire
gown with a jeweled crescent above
her forehead and her hand resting
across her breast as she comes down a
flight of stairs.
Many people have supposed that the
picture, which is now in the museum at
Cologne, is a portrait of the patriotic
Queen, but as a matter of fact it was
painted in 1879, whereas Queen Louise
died in 1910, and the model for it was
Julius Muller's wife. 1t is the work of
Professor Gustav Richter, and when
he conceived the idea of painting it he
searched far and wide for a model,
finally selecting Fraulein Joseflne Won
Ziegler and Klipphausen.
She was the youngest daughter Of
Baron Theodore Won Ziegler, a cham
berlain of the Prussian court. She was
a famous beauty of the Prussian court
in her girlhood.
Fraulein Won Ziegler was just IS
when Richter picked her as model for
his picture. 1t was and is a tradition,
almost a religious conviction, in her
family that in youth she bore a strong
resemblance TO the Queen, at whose
court her grandmother had beer a
prominent figure. When the picture
was finished, however, the old Kaiser,
Wilhelm l.. was invited to see it. He
looked at it long and tenderly, then
turned away, shaking his head sadly.
"Sehr hubsch, sehr hubsch. Aber
auch NIGHT cine Spur Won Aenlieh-
keit,' he exclaimed. which means:
Very pretty, very pretty, but not the
least trace of resemblance"
The old Emperor ought to have
known, for he was the son of Queen
Louise and was old enough when she
died to have preserved a recollection of
her.
Muller was an excellent singer; he
belonged to the Wiesbaden Company,
but died at Frankfort-on Main. His
wife, the model for the beautiful pic
ture, survives him.-Washington Post.

SAILS TO
CONCILIATE HOLDERS?

NEW YORK. May Ell. t. Hara-
han, president Of the Illinois Central
Railroad, who sailed for Europe this
afternoon. strongly intimated that
there was no foundation for the pub
lished statement that the chief purpose
of his trip was to concifiate the for
eign holders of Illinois Central securi-
ties, who ale supposed to have been
more loyal to S~tuyvesant Fish than to
the present management.
Mr.. Harahan said that his chief OBJ
ject in going abroad at this time was
to secure a rest. ana that he would give
attention to business IN the other side
only to the extent of looking after ex-
port business of the Illinois Central,
which is an important factor in the
company's earnings. He plans to be
gone five or six weeks.
