Advantages of q siIo.

Silos have become one of the fixed
appointments of successful dairy and
stock farms where economy in feed is
necessary to achieve profitable results.
The expense of silo often prevents
it's use by farmers who feel that they
cannot spare the money for such an
equipment The intelligent feeder
who has carefully investigated the adj
vantages of a silo is the man loudest
in its praise. 1t has become recog-
nized that high class results in feed
ing live stock cannot be consummated
without feeding silage.
Deleterious results seldom follow
feeding ensilage. If such results DO
follow it comes from either overfeed-
ing or from spoiled silage. Silage is
recognized as of great economic value
in feeding dairy cows. Where dairy
farming is made speciality but few
diaries are operated without the use
of silage. 1t is equally valuable as a
ration for young cattle and has decid-
ed merits when fed to steers being
fattened for market Sheep and swine
thrive OH silage. AS a part of the ra-
tion of roughage it could be generally
utilized for all classes of live stock
The dairy cow could be fed forty
pounds of silage daily, while thirty
pounds would be a ration for a beef
animal.
A silo enables the farmer to econ
omize in space in the storage OF feed
1t requires double the space to store
the same feed nutriments In dry
roughage as in silage. The silo can
be constructed of REINFORCED cement
and become a permanent Improvement
that will cost nothing for maintenance
A silo enables the farmer to save his
feed with the minimum loss OF nutrl-
ents. Feed cured in the open air suf-
fers loss of about 25 per cent OF nu-
triments, while ensilage loses about
10 per cent of nutriment.
Silage has been Complementary
tested at nearly all the agricultural
experiment stations with uniform IA
vorable results. 1t insures to the
dairyman succulent feed at all times
an important condition in milk produc-
ton, as succulent feed is best for
dairy cows.-Goodalps Farmer.

SILHOUETTES OF WESTERN
CANADA.

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out Oh
the G. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop,
the system of summer following pur-
sued in the semi-arid districts, were
all discussed, and then, with a sort of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore" cit is curious how these mid
Western Americans pronounce the
name Of the Dominion as If it was
"Can'dy"), "but if 1t looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
"You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa, quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been
going on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and ev-
cry farm that's offered is snapped up.
In Saskatchewan we have just as good
land that cost us $11 and $12, so that
man can take up five or six times as
much there as in Iowa on the same in
veStment of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have to
leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fami-
lies that come to Canada are kept to-
gether and the families that buy the
farms they leave are kept together.
too. There won't be any slackening
of the rush, either. for they still raise
big families back in Iowa."
One could almost see the mental
process Of this typical American farm
er In defending step that meant a
new flag, new allegiance, a new land,
and new associates. To abandon "Old
Glory" and the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence for good thing in cheap
land would hardly be playing the
game, but to go out into Saskatche-
wan to keep the family together" was
another and quite higher motive.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? 1t is enough to
know what the sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime
sota-the best blood of the midwest
are pouring into the Canadian West
in an ever-increasing stream, and are
learning that God Save the King and
my Country, IT'S of Thee" are sung

Wherever cattle or hogs are fed
there is a great waste in valuable feed
resulting from the feeding of too much
corn, or feeding corn out of balance
and proportion to protein or nitrogen
Gus food. The time has come in the
high price of corn to call halt to this
wasteful method of feeding. To fully
utilize feed proper digestion must go
on. and when corn is fed out of bal
ance with heterogeneous foods it is not
all digested and assimilated These
are very important facts, now that
corn is high in price and is likely to
stay So What, then, is the food that
must take the place of part of the corn
fed in making pork? That is the
question that should be carefully
studied and needed by farmers. Cheap
er production through more econom-
ical use of our feeds is an important
matter and must be so recognized
sooner or later by our farmers.-Kan-

ATHLETICS AND LOVE.

for Latter.
Miss May Sutton, champion woman
dawn tennis player of America and for
mer worlds champion, in an interview
at Los Angeles said women should not
marry until they are %, and that "ath-
letics is an antidote for the poison of pre-
mature romance" 81 said % because |

much of divorce in England, while it is
Sgrowing actually a distinct feature OF
this country. have often thought per
haps the English girls tendency to ath-
letics has something to do with her level
headedness concerning men. Athletics
are not especially conducive to sentiment.
Any athletic girl, American or English,
is not as apt to marry as young as the
typical society girl. The society girl is
entangled in a web of romance, whether
come is an early marriage. In Newport
1 met one girl I quite fell in love with
Eleanor Sears of Boston. In my Judg-
rnent she was the most attractive and
best dressed woman in Newport. Why,
the women l played tennis with there
made me laugh. They wore picture hats
tied down with fluffy wells and dainty
kid gloves. They cannot forget their
clothes even in athletics. Lots of people
think Eleanor Sears is mannish because
she adopts very severe clothes; but they
are so very becoming to her and only
one woman in a thousand looks pretty
without frills, Miss Sears is one of
them"

WORTH KNOWING.

Simple Remedy That Anyone Can
Prepare at Home.
Most people are more or less subject
to coughs and colds. A simple remedy
that will break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that is durable is made
by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a
half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure and eight ounces of pure
Whisky. You can get these in any good
drug store and easily mix them in a
large bottle. The mixture is highly
recommended by the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare the
genuine Virgin OIL of Pine compound
pure for dispensing.

saving Half the Concrete.

A farmer of Morgan County, ILL.,,
found that he could save more than
half the usual amount of concrete in
paving the lot around his horse barn,
by using defective vitrified brick
which he bought at the factory at 80
cents per load. Laying the brick on
edge, as for a pavement, and leaving
large cracks between, the concrete was
used simply to fill these cracks and
all uneven places and make level
surface. The surface was left rough
and this pavement has proven salts
factory after much wear.

FORTUNE FOR A NURSE.
She Compromises with Contesting Heirs
to Avoid Litigation.


The suit to set aside the will of Abra-
ham Stephens of Weston, ILL.,. came to an
unexpected ending in the circuit court at
Bloomington, when the principals an
nounced that they had agreed upon a
compromise. By the terms of the com
promise the complainants who were
practically ignored in the will are to re-
ceive $4,000 of the 100000 left by the
testator. 1t developed that Stephens
wrote no less than three wills, all prac-
tically the same, and if the first to be
probated was broken the next could be
submitted, and if that, too, was declared
invalid, there remained the third, thus
assuring endless litigation at enormous
expense. Rather than see the fortune
divided among lawyers, the heirs decid-
ed to compromise. Mrs. Chapman, the
nurse, loses heavily by the compromise,
and she will receive but $4,000 instead
of the $4,000 specified in the will. Abra-
ham Squires of St Joseph, Mo, and
Fred Squires of Savannah, Mo-, will
receive twice their original legacy, or
respectively $4,000 and $4,000 each.

BRAVE BOY.
Thinks of His Mother While in Great
Pain.

''Please don't tell mamma. She's sick
and it would make her worse" said r.
year-old Benjamin Levinson as he was
carried into Bellevue hospital, New York,
suffering with broken thigh. On his
left foot was a roller skate, the right
skate having been wrenched off when the
boy was struck by an automobile owned
by DR.. @. s. Cole at Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fifth street. The car, q big tour
ing machine, was coming down the ave-
nue. when Young Levinson, who was
skating in the street, turned sharply in
front of it, according to the story of the
chauffeur. Before the brakes could stop
the car it had struck the boy, knocking
him down. A policeman Of traffic squad
placed the chauffeur under arrest and
ordered the car with the boy driven to
Bellevue hospital. On the way to the
hospital young Levinson repeatedly
asked them not TO worry his mother
with news of his accident. He reiterated
the request despite his pain, when car
ried into the building.

Negroes for Northern Offices

President Taft's new plan for recog-
milton of negro Republicans contem-
plates the appointment of colored men
to offices in the northern states where
there are large negro populations. 1t is
understood that he will appoint white
men to fill the offices in the south now
held by negroes as soon as the terms of
the incumbents expire. The appoint
ment of northern negroes to offices in
their own section is the Presidents idea
of the proper compensation to the race
for the loss of offices south.
