Waste Of siIaae.

&SsV
The following is Canadian farm
er's method Of preventing waste Of
silage:
Each year as frequently as 5silos
are filed there is considerable waste
owing to the surface layer coming in
contact with the air. The loss varies
with the condition Of the corn. and
with the attention it has received after
it is placed in the silo. In seasons Of
plenty it is a common practice to sim
ply fill the silo and take chances on
what would spoil. This is a very
wasteful practice. It is possible to
bring this waste down to minimum
by little attention after the silo5 has
been filed and thoroughly tramped.
Last year, owing to the scarcity Of
corn, we made an extra effort to pre-.
serve all that we had AS result Of
these efforts there were scarcely two
inches Of spoiled silage. After the
silo was filled and thoroughly tramp
ed we put a two inch layer Of clover
chaff on It. We then dampened this
chaff with a barrel Of water in which
had been dissolved a ten quart pail Of
salt. This brine proved to be- the
most effectual preseryer we had ever
tried. On the surface, when we came
to feed the silage. the two inch layer
on top peeled off slick and clean ana
left good silage Immediately under
meath. Try this scheme on yourSsilo:
this fall. and you will save much fod-
der that would otherwise be spoiled.
II IS much better than chaff and grow
ting grain such as Is commonly used ~

A bright woman correspondent OF
Country Gentleman writes as follows:
Once in awhile most farmers wives,
I think, get tired Of their everyday du-
ties and occupations-out of tune with
their work and surroundings. The best
medicine for such complaint is
change. They should go to the home
Of some city cousin, of which most Oh
us have few, and compare conditions.
The first thing we notice is lack OF

they are extremely particular and
don't want to have thing out of
place.
There are others who feel superior
to US. They view the farmer and his,
family with pity, almost with con-
tempt. They think farm life is so soli-
tary, farm earnings so small! Yet
they like to partake Of the farmers
hospitality even while they try to ex
cite envy and discomfort, and think
they really like to have US VISIT them,
mostly, though, for the purpose Of
showing US their luxuries and advan-
tages which we do not possess. Such
acquaintances should never be invited
to repeat the first visit. We should
speed the parting guest and discour-
age them from coming again.

Fifty Thousand Dollars of Crawford
County Bonds to be Sold.

Thursday May 14th at two in
the afternoon is the time set for the
county treasurer to open the bids
for the sale of fifty thousand dollars
worth of bonds. This is necessary in
that the board of supervisors has al
lowed the county to become that
amount behind on the bridge fund.
OF course now that the deed is done,
it will be cheaper for the taxpayers
to pay four and a-half per cent inter-
est or less than to have the warrants
marked unpaid for lack of funds"

The tax payers generally knew
nothing about this debt. and the news
that they were to be taxed three
mills extra for over twenty years was
not welcome. With the added three
mills the rate for Denison property
holders will be fully seven per cent on
the assessed valuation. The only
hope for the property holder of this
class is to obtain the lowest possible
assessment. The voters are about to
eject four members Of the board of

The Conner Club is still growing.
Last week it passed the 400 mark.
Unfortunately it cannot grow much
larger for there are mighty few re-
publicans in nenison who have not
signed.
AS soon as the list was published
our democratic friends tried to punch
holes in it. but they are unable to do
SO with any gratifying results. In
fact the results have been just the
contrary. They find on the list the
name of several life long democrats,
who now announce that they have
voted the democratic ticket for the
last time.
The list has had fine effect through
out the district as the lie had been
industriously circulated that Judge
Conner could not get good endorse
ment at home.
We are sure that not a man has
signed this club roll who does moi
intend to cast his vote in the primary
for Judge Conner.
If it were an election nearly 100
more votes could be added to the list
as there are that many democrats il
Denison who have such personal faith
in Judge Conner and such pride in 9
Denison man that they will vote fo!
him in spite of politics.
Judge Conner has every reason tc

CHINA AGGRESSIVE
IN RAILROAD CLASH
WITH JAPANESE
Powers Disposed to
Agree With ShreWd
Chinese in Korean
Row.

PEKIN, Jan. 22.-Foreign diplomats in
Pekin look to see the increase of friction
between China and Japan eliminate any
Gay with a handful OF ultimatums from
the Celestial Kingdom. Indications are
thar they viii include the Hsinmintun
railroad controversy.
The general opinion here is that the
Chinese have played their cards very
shrewdly in their game with the Mikado,
and that the latter is more than likely
10 be placed in q position where he will
be forced either TO q humiliating back
down or to a display Of strength
China is thoroughly convinced, and the
diplomatic corps agrees, that Japan Is
in no position for a clash with any
power at present 1t is not only in dire
financial straits, but the members OF
It's cabinet are engaged in a bitter night
among themselves.
The situation has also been so skill
fully manipulated that England must
take China's side in the Hsinmintun
railway controversy. Russia viii be for
the Celestial Kingdom in the dispute
over the title to Middle island, and the
powers generally viii be disposed to
agree that the japanese attitude in
Korea is a menace to the commercial
interests Of all the rest Of the world.
Japan's expression Of its willingness to
extend the Hsinmintun line under its
own auspices, while threatening TO use
force 10 prevent English capital from
undertaking the enterprise under a Chi
nesc concession, is openly declared 10
prove the NlkadO is trying TO dodge his
promises concerning the restoration OF
Manchurid.
All who have investigated the rival
claims to ownership Of the Middle island
district agree that China's title is far
better than the Korean representations
under which Japan is eudeavOring to
absorb the territory.
The general opinion here is that China
viii get at least q large share of the
things il asks. Were Japan prepared for
a clash 1t is agreed that the situation
would promise trouble. Most students
OF Oriental affairs think the MidakO
viii have 10 yield, however. Were he
IN n position to present a firm front.
bS the Chinese would not assume
so aggressive an attitude.
Reports from Tokyo do, indeed indi-
cate that the japanese are calling in all
army reserves throughout the world.
Nevertheless no one thinks ii is de-
signed to use them except in the last
extremity.
