SILO AND SILAGE.

Corn silage would be fed the entire
year on the profitable Michigan dairy
farm managed by Charles ]. Angevine
IL 1t were available.
Selling Is not practiced except when
absolutely necessary. The manager
considers silage in every way as good
feed as green crops and more eco
nomical.
Special care is taken in producing the
corn that is to go into the silo. A large
kind Of ensilage corn is planted on well
MANFRED and thoroughly prepared land.
The field of corn that made twenty
Eve tons of silage per acre in 1905 re-
ceived two coverings of stable ma
nure-one during the early winter and
the other just before blowing in the
spring.
Marked success has resulted from
seeding corn stubble with rye, cutting
the rye for hay and planting the same
field to corn again. From ten acre
field cropped in this manner four big
loads of rye and fifteen tons of silage
to the acre were harvested this year.
Getting a Good Ready"
Being thoroughly prepared for any
line of farm work Is of paramount i'm
portance. In no work is this more true
than in filling the silo, remarks Buff
Jersey in Kimbalfs Dairy Farmer.
have filled silos when the cost was
$1.25 per ton in labor, and have filled
them when 1t was 35 cents per ton.
Why the variation? Lack Of prepare
ton, lack Of knowledge in getting
ready, lack Of knowledge in selecting a
good machine to cut up the cornstalks,
lack of machinery in the field and lack
Of properly constructed racks and
wagons, making the loading and I'M
loading costly.
Mixed EnsIaee.
Neither peas nor soy beans keep as
well when sliced alone as when corn Is
mixed with them, remarks Hoards
Dairyman. There is probably wide
variation In the amount of corn and
beans that can be used, but at the
Maine station fourteen parts of corn
! and nine parts of SOY beans were mix
ed, and the silage kept perfectly and
+ was eaten with much relish by the
stock.

How to Hold Skirts Firmly.

A button in the middle Of the back Of
the shirt waist or corset cover will
hold the dress skirt In proper position.
II two buttonholes are made. one In
each side of the skirt band and both
fastened on this button, this little de-
vice is much more satisfactory than
hooks and eyes.

How to peodorize a sickroom.

One may deodorize sickroom by
putting little camphor or few cof-
fee berries on tin plate and burning
by stirring with a redhot poker. The
fumes of the coffee or camphor will
quite overcome any disagreeable odor.

WHEN TO FEED cows.
The Regular Routine of Feeding anc
Milking.


Feeding cows before, after or at
time of milking has but very little In
fuence upon the amount of milk given
or the cows comfort, provided that,
whichever method is adopted, it is
continued regularly. Cows, like men,
are creatures of habit ThAy know
almost to a minute when it is time
for the grain ration or other feed and
when the mixer is due to take the
milk, and nothing should occur to
cause a break in the regular routine of
feeding, milking, etc.
At Milking Time.
Our own practice has been to feed
after milking. 1t has also seemed best
to have the cows all attention at milk
ing time. If eating grain feed while
being MIXED, a COW is eager for the
feed and possibly brings the right hind
leg forward suddenly against the
mixer, causing the pail to move about
and rattle. The unexpected noise may
cause the COW to kick or the one next
to her to do so. The mixer must be
constantly on his guard. In moving
from one COW to another he must
Reak to her and attract her attention
from the feed or she may kick. Pos
sibly she is the gentlest COW in the
herd; but, being busy with her feed,
she kicks out at a noise in the rear
or upon being touched with the stool
or hand. She is nervous and seeks
to protect herself.
First Work In the Stable.
Our first work in the COW stable In
the morning is milking The cows be-
gin to get up and stretch. They are
perfectly quiet, are not expecting feed
but are ready to be MIXED, and as
each cows turn comes she puts herself
in proper position and does not move
a muscle. She likes to feel the brush
on her flank, udder and belly, brushing
off loose straw, hair, etc. The moment
that the last COW is finished however,
that quiet, sleepy condition Is changed
to one Of activity.
A Matter of Habit.
They are eager for breakfast and ask
for it with wide open eyes and gentle
lowing. They smell the ensilage as it
comes down from the silo. Their &C.
tons plainly indicate that they would
like to have the feeder hurry. In an
hour they are lying down, eyes closed,
and busy with the grind Of content
nent. 1t certainly must be plain to
every one that this is habit and that a
continuance of such regular work Is
best for the GOWN. Stenson in Farm
ers' Review

Some Very Pertinent Reasons
Given Why a Negro Can
Be a Democrat.

To make mp position plain sub.
nit the following reasons:
The Republican party placed the
ballot in my possession, and believing
that it was an inglorious miatake
am fastening to correct 1t by helping
my Southern white Democratic
friends to take it away from me as
soon as possible
do not believe In anybody that
believes in me, therefore 1 do not
believe in the Republican party.
That it was born to abolish slavery
and make a man of me is of no con-
Germ whatsoever, as do not want to
be man and never did.
That Lincoln died a martyrs death
because of his advocacy of my cause
makes me think that Lincoln was n
fool and a crank: did not deserve it.
That the last state in the Union,
good Democratic state, Oklahoma.
has accorded me Jim Crow treat
ment in it's schools. at its telephones,
on its railroads and in many other of
it's public places Is lnmaterial, as the
Democrats always did know what was
best for my welfare! AS these good
Democrats of Oklahoma also saw tn
1t that virtually lost my right to
vote. shall ever pray for their Po-
litical supremacy.
I am proud OF the Democratic par

cratic platform of West Virginia Il

tor in that state; why should I not
feel that I have put my trust in prop
er hands-the good old Democratic
party?
am a Negro Democrat because I
prefer the shotgun policies OF DEM
ocratic South Carolina, to the liberal
spirit of Republican Ohio where the
ballot is safely safeguarded for all
men. black or white.
I am a Negro Democrat because
the 18th ana 18th amendments to the
National Constitution are Republican
instruments. and I oppose their con-
tinued operation because my Demo-
cratic allies cannot gain absolute con-
troll Of the country's affairs while
these amendments are the law of the
land. What would happen to me If
these laws ever become lost to us

crowd of voters.
Will Receive Big AInjOr1ties.
Never In the history of the state
has a gubernatorfal candidate receiv-
ed such enthusiastic ovations as have
been rendered Mr.. Glasscock on his
tour SO far. Everywhere he stopped
he has received the assurance OF the.
undivided support of the Republican
party. His declaration that in case
he is elected he VIII know no fac
lions, but will be governor Of the
whole people, is increasing his popu-
laTity in this section.
In the parts OF this section where
the party was divided between Swish
er and Scherr before the withdrawal
of both candidates, there is now but
one party. and all of the. members of
that party are putting forward every
effort to roll up a big majority for
national, state, congressional and
county tickets.
In Putnam county, where Scherr
received IL delegates and Swisher
at the nominating primaries last
Spring, It is now estimated that Cow
ernor Glasscock will receive a major
ity of between $50 and 600, whereas
the normal Republican majority in
Putnam county IS only about $50.
In. the Fifth district, which last cleo.
ton gave Congressman Hughes the
largest majority of amy OF the Ave
districts of the state, It IS estimated
that Mr.. Hughes viii poH as heavy

What do care for his soIdiery cour-
