SlLO A SAVINGS BANK.

The silo is savings bank upon
which the feeder and dairyman can
draw at all times for succulent ensi-
lage. 1t not only preserves the feed
in the most desirable form, but car
ries the feed over to the season when
it's value is enhanced fourfold.
Pretty good rate of interest, that!
And a new way of looking at the tire.
mendously interesting and important
ensilage question.
But this is only the beginning of the
earning capacity of a silo.
At the present high prices of land,
pasturing and feeding dry feeds dur
ing the winter is a mighty expensive
proposition. The same land will sup
port twice the number of animals if
the silage system is employed.
1t will enable the farmer and the
stockman to get as much milk from
his COWS in mid-winter as in the best
feeding season. Twenty tons of silage
is an average crop per acre. 1t is an
actual fact that this amount of 81
lage will feed three head of cattle
whole year.

money that is slipping through their
fingers every year by reason of waste
full methods of feeding, they would be
sitting up nights studying the ensilage
question-for ensilage preserving and
feeding means millions of new dollars
in their pockets if they only knew it.
Already there has been a great
awakening. It's time for every cattle
owner to look this great question
squarely in the face. Every cattle
owner who has taken advantage of the
surprising money-making possibilities
of silo is saving half his feed bills,
securing greatly increased milk pro-
duction from his herd, daily putting
fat on his feeders at rate he never
dreamed of before.-EX.

WHAT DAIRYMEN SHOULD KNOW.

"Hoosier" in the Jersey Bulletin
says every dairyman should know:
The cost of producing a gallon or
milk.
The cost of producing a pound OF
butter-fat.
The cost of feeding cow one year.
The cost of labor in caring for one
COW one year.
The number of pounds of milk each
COW in the herd yields each year.
The number of dollars each cows
milk brings each year.
Which is the most profitable COW in
the herd, and why.
Which is the poorest COW in the
herd, and why.
How many boarders there are in the
herd.
How much feed each COW will con-
sumo during the feeding period.
Which is the best and cheapest
feed.

RULE FOR COW RATIoNS.

Prof c. H. Eckles, Missouri expert
ment station, says; The following
rules regarding the amount to feed
COWS covers the case fairly we'll:
1. Feed all the roughness they will
eat UP clean at all times.
g. Feed one pound of grain per day
for each pound of butter fat produced
per week, or one pound grain daily for
each three pounds of milk.
s. Feed all the COWS will take with
out gaining in weight.
The rule regarding the amount of
grain to feed per day for each cow APP
plies best when based upon the amount
of butter fat produced per week, as
this makes it applicable to any breed.

PRODUCTION COSTS.

Observers report to this journal
their recent findings on the actual cost
of making milk in New York and adj
Joining states, and their figures are
startling. In the case of some herds
of the heavy mixers, the Holstein-
Friesians, the production cost shows
as low as 1.6 cents a quart. The me-
dunn mixers put to 3.5 cents into
the quart cost. The small mixers,
which constitute the great majority
of all the milk COWS in these states,
have for the past ten years been put
ting an average cost of 3.5 up to 6
and more cents into the quart. These
are the COWS that sell for $50 to $35
per head and average $500 to $500
pounds of milk per head per year. Our
reporters have asked the owners of
these COWS why they keep so small
producers, and no owner of such COWS
has been able to explain why he keeps
animals that cost $40 to $50 a. year for
keep, while earning only $50 to $40
for their milk and calves.-N. Y.

The largest and most up-to-date
plant in Idaho is that of the Jen-
sen Creamery Company, which has
been opened for business. The build
ing is 45x100 feet, and two stories
high. The pasteurizer is one of the
largest type made, having capacity
of 5000 pounds of cream an hour.
The creamery has a capacity of 10000
to 10000 pounds of butter daily.
There are three large chill rooms hav-
ing capacity of six carloads. This
plant receives cream from a large ter
ritory, as far north as Marysville and
Dillon, Mont south from Montpelier
and west to the Twin Falls country.

These seven fundamental principles
of successful dairying were formulated
at the Illinois Farmers Institute:
1. Weed out the poor COWS by means
of the scale and Babcock test.
g Feed the good COWS balanced
ration.
3. Grow alfalfa and provide an
abundance of silage.
a.. Head the herd with the best
sire obtainable.
5. Raise the heifer calves from
the best COWS.
6. Continue to weed feed and
breed.
7. Feed the mind of the man behind
the COW.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-07-01

At the Wisconsin station the plan
followed was to feed as many pounds
of grain feed daily per COW as she
produced pounds of butter fat during
the week or seven times as much
grain as the amount of fat produced
daily. The COWS received as much
hay and silage as they would eat
up clean. usually requiring 25 to AZ
pounds of silage and 3 or pounds of
hay daily.

June since 1882, when the fanciest

The second part of the rule in regard
to feeding one pound of grain for three
pounds of milk would not work out in
all cases, since in a heavy milking
Holstein COW this gives a little too
large a quantity of grain, and with a
Jersey giving very rich milk it is a lit
tie too low. 1t applies best to COWS
producing milk of about average po-
sition.

SECRETS OF SUCCESS.

Thirty EIGHT years is a considerable
period to have done one thing better
than it has been done by anyone else.
Yet such is the record of the Joseph

well known Blizzard Ensilage Cutter
ever since ensilage cutters were in gen
eral use. Not only that, they have
maintained from the beginning an UNI
questioned supremacy in their field.
Blizzard Ensilage Cutters stand for re-
liability and the most advanced ideas.

to improve our past performance. This
is only part of the secret of his success.
The other part is a steadfast adherence

Something About Lace

sarniture appeared only in the garments
Of the wealthy classes or in those OF
women who had leisure to make fancy
handwork to decorate a favorite gown
or mantle.
It is not necessary to enter into the
gradual extension of the dressmaking
business in Paris or the enormous
strides made after the invention of the
jacquard system, but it is. perhaps. in
teresting to note that at the beginning
of his business career Monsieur Worth
sold mantles at Is to 100 francs.
The price of one of these mantles
would not purchase today one yard Of
the lace In gold with which the Worth
establishment is trimming its gowns.
One of the points worth mentioning i'll
connection with the use Of lace this sea-
son for the garniture Of gowns is that
several houses are evading the white
and cream examples and have COM
bined schemes for the using of all gold
lace, even on day gowns.
This gold lace is much less heavy and
infinitely more delicate than the heavy
metallic passementeries which have been
so popular on the winter models. The
most popular gold laces will be fine ap-
plication and alencon designs, also tulle
and net woven entirely in tine gold
thread.
1t can be readily understood that when
this tine groundwork of gold holds a
white or harmonious darn work the
ton IS finely worked gold thread de-
sign on cream and beige brussels tulle
and tulle d'alencon. Silver worked on
beige or silver worked on black tuue
Is also very striking. but the silver has
the disadvantage OF furnishing quickly,

"HERE IS not a couturier in Paris
at the present moment who doubts
Il that lace will play a preponder-
ant part in the mo Of the summer
season. Its popularity is foregone

gowns will be either costly or mex

doubtless sell their gowns at exorbi-
tant prices, for on the new models rare

mand.
Worth relates how his father. the
founder OF the well-known house In the
Rue de la Paix, managed to secure the
materials he required for his creations.
It Is particularly interesting to hear
what he had to say respecting lace, for
It is well known that previous to 1870
there was no such thing as machine
made lace and the handmade article
was difacult to procure. Almost every
woman with a proper education In 1S40
knew how to make lace of some kind.
and invariably made sufficient for her
own use and for presents to her friends.

an of leisure wore lace. while those who

we may find an individual touch which
would indicate the gown was made in
1909 rather than 1909.
Paris says that all skirts are very
voluminous at the bottom. cIinging
around the hips and finished with a
large bow behind. while in this coun-
try We have already become familiar
with the tight yoke and the pleated
apron of the Gallo period. Paris also
says that as we advance further to-
ward the autumn months the dresses
will be more and more frankly draped
until we have reached the voluminous
style of the Louis.
How interesting is the evolution 30
quietly brought about by the advent
of each new season!

Satin-Finished Foulard

THE seasons love for foulards has
spurred the manufacturers to
greater efforts, and we have this
summer a wider choice of these soft
fabrics than ever before. Their width,
which is forty five inches, makes the
material one that is especially advan-
tageous, for it adapts itself well to
the demand for tunics. peplums and
princess models. Foulard seems to
have a more brilliant finish than for
merly, so it has slipped easily into the
place left by the waning popularity
