AVERAGE FARM DAIRY.
The Amount Of Feed Which viii BE
Required.

What shall the average farmer in
the northwest do, in Minnesota, for ex-
ample, with an average herd OF cows
in both number and quality, relative
to feed supplies? Assuming that this
average farmer has only half dozen
milk cows, shall he build a silo and
grow silage corn or provide other
roughage? This question was feature
at last winters meeting Of the Mime.
sofa State Dairymen's association. II
was handled by A. ID. Wilson, who
rather leaned toward improving the
farm with clover, ETC., rather than
growing silage corn. His remarks
we're applicable solely to the small
herd of cows rather than the well es-
tablished dairy herd. Mr.. Wilson
placed the emphasis in handling the
ordinary dairy herd on the farm on
making a profit from the farm as a
whole, instead Of from the milk cows
simply; otherwise there may be dis
appointment In the final outcome at
the end Of the year. He believes there
is very little net profit in the average
crop of wheat alone, and felt much the
same way about the average dairy
herd made up, perhaps, of cows Of in
different quality.
THE farmers of Minnesota must get
down to the idea of net profit on the
farm as a whole" said Mr.. Wilson.
Look out for real business manage
ment just as surely as the city mer-
chant does In considering his invest
ments. We must grow grass crops
and clover In order to keep up the
productivity of the soil" On a farm
of 100 acres. 40 acres of grass and
clover should be grown each year. He
believes that farmers can more profit
ably use such good hay as we grow, or
can wisely use roughage, such as fod-
der corn, roots, millets, etc. Depend
largely upon hay and a few roots, the
latter for succulence, rather than silage
corn. For the average Minnesota
farm, with a few COWS, this question OF
silage means a considerable tax in the
way of structure, etc. Mr.. Wilson be.
lieves enough roots can be grown on
one-half to one acre to adequately sup
plement the hay. 1t is more expensive
to supply silage, he says, for the small
herd of cattle than for the large herd
where, of course, conditions may ma
terially differ. In the large dairy herd
the farmer can wisely put up more
silage and use more of 1t the larger
the number of cows kept, also a
larger amount OF manure, and thus
avoid the growing of so much clover
as is necessary on the average farm
with a few cows. He recommended as
root crops mangels, rutabagas and
stock carrots.

Some Good Advice from a Man Who
Has Had Experience.

Perhaps some Of my experience in
regard to my silo and the use Of silage
on the farm will be of interest to 9th.
ers, writes a Michigan farmer in Farm
ers' Review. For a great many years
have made a speciality of breeding
registered oxford down sheep. A few
years ago | was unable to obtain any
information In regard to feeding silage
to breeding ewes, and so / concluded
to try some ewes on silage three years
ago and since then during the winter
months, have been feeding corn
silage at least once each day to my
entire flock. l find that the ewes give
more milk when fed on corn silage
than any other feed, aside from early
grass pasture.
1t is not necessary for me to say
that II Is one of the most valuable
feeds for the dairy COW or the fatten-
ing steer, for almost every farmer has
learned that corn silage is one of the
best and cheapest feeds to be had for
all cattle. A great many farmers are
so slow In seeing the advantages of a
good silo. Compare this method Of
harvesting the corn crop where all Is
saved, with the old way, where the
loss is at least one.third Of the crop.
When you build a silo, build a good
one that is air tight. My silo is a
Lansing" sllo, 14x30 feet, and holds
100 tons. About eight acres OF good
corn will fill 1t. Do not plant the
corn too thick. Adjust this as IL you
wanted a good crop Of ears and you
will not go astray. During the past
two years have planted my corn with
an ordinary 11-hoe grain drill, about
3Ia feet apart in the rows, and seven
or seven and one-half quarts of grain
per acre. Next use the spike tooth
harrow and harrow the corn often, be
fore It is us and until three or -four
inches high. Give 1t a good harrow
ing to destroy all small weeds that are
coming up close to the corn.
In conclusion, a word about the oat
crop next spring. Do not neglect tc
SOW about two quarts of haxseed. Mil
1t in with the seed oats in the drill oi
SOW It broadcast. 1t will ripen at the
same time with the oats, and you will
find It a valuable grain to have mixeC
with oats to feed to horses, cattle o
sheep. It will cost nothing except th'
seed. Try It. The fax straw will no

DAIRY MATTERS.

Do not compel the cows TO bunk
about the strawplle until the chilly
nights are past. Dry spots for them
to sleep on are usually very scarce
at that season Of the year.
Don't turn the cattle to pasture too
early, A good plan to follow is to wait
until you conclude the grass Ia sufi-
ciently largo to turn them on. then
wait week or ten days longer.
The measure of satisfaction secured
from the dairy is dependent upon the

Elk City Attorney Asks the
Board of Public Works
About Harrison Park.

And now comes Colonel Legrand T.
Meyer. and in the strongest language
at his command, asks the board of
public works whether it would go on
record as 'murderers of the innocents'
by permitting racing on the Harrison
Park speedway. The board placed the
communication on file This is only
one of the many jolts that the board
has received since last Wednesday, when
in all fairness to the taxpayers, it ask
ed for an expression of sentiment in
the matter of turning the driveway
into a speedway. A petition for this
was presented to the board from a
number of horseowners in this city.
but the only concession that they re-
ceived from the board was that the
track would be rounded instead of leav-
ing it into the rectangular shape in
which it is now.

SCMTILLATING HANLON
Capt. George Hanlon Ap-
pears in Gorgeous New
Uniform Today.

Have you seen Captain Hanlon? He
has a brand new uniform that just
matches his brand new job. Hanlon is
the most radiant man on the police
force. Not only is his uniform new, but
the buttons shine with greater luster
than those on any other uniform in
the police department. 1t is hard to
account for the fact, but Hanlon is
simply luminous in comparison with the
other officers. At night time when he
stands on the corner, the electric lights
become as Insignificant as candles in
comparison to the brilliance of his
beaming face and his sclntilating uni
form. When the new captain walks
down the street his uniform throws a
light around him like the glare of a
street car headlight or the lights of a
hundred automobiles. To top of the
whole outfit he has a broad-brimmed
sleuth hat Hanlon is unquestionably
one of the handsomest men on the po-
lice force. At least. he can have that
distinction until the buttons on his
coat begin to lose their luster.

City Attorney John A Gavit and

nothing definite was done. With the
exception of a few details. the fran

reasonably good shape, and when these
are amended the franchise is ready to
run the gauntlet between its friends
and enemies in the city council, pro-

Burnham, Ill, April 5.-While dig
ging up the ground in Burnham ave
nue., last Saturday morning, workmen
came up the skull bones of a body
which evidently had been buried for
many years. Near the bones were
found big beads and stones, which led
the finders to believe that the body
was that of some Indian who was
buried by his tribesmen. To strength
en- this belief is added the fact that the

WILL HOLD MASS MEET
Hammond Business Mems
Mems Association to
Gather on Thursday.

On account of the great public in
terest in the question of transporta
ton, which at the present time eclipses
everything else, it has been proposed
that the members of the Hammond
Business Mems association hold a mass
meeting at which the policy of the
business men toward traction compa-
nies, which may desire to enter the city,
will be determined.
At the meeting of the association,
which will be held next Thursday, the
question will be considered of calling
a big mass meeting. at which repre-
sentatlves from the cities of Indiana
Harbor. East Chicago and Whiting will
be asked to be in attendance, to aid in
the outlining of a policy toward the
companies which are seeking an en-
trance into the city.
Issue Vital One.
Never in the history of the region,
according to many of the business men
of the city, has there been presented
a matter as vital as that of allotting
the streets of the cities of the region
to the traction companies which are
now seeking franchises here.
1t is peculiarly a matter affection
all of the cities of the region. The
advocates of amalgation are pointing
to the present traction situation as one
of the municipal problems that af-
fects all Of the cities of the region
and should be settled by the cities OF
the region as an entity.
That calls attention to the fact that
at the next meeting of the associa-
tion, which is to be held next Thurs
day. the great question Of amalgama.
tion is to be taken up.
