Sun1ower Folder for Commercial Club
Ordered.

Frank P. MacLennan. Arthur Cap
per, F. S. Savage, Charles A. Moore,
H. y. Heath and N. B. Burge were
present at Il meeting at noon today of
the advertising commission of the
Commercial club. Samples of the
attractive new sunflower advertising
post card folder were placed before
the meeting and a discussion followed
in connection with the distribution of
these folders. The folders which are
in the shape of sunf1Ower and
printed on paper of the color of the
flower of the state are probably the
most attractive advertising device
which the Commercial club has ever
put out. On the back side of the
folder are cuts of seven of the attrac-
tive buildings of the city which con-
sist of the new Mills building, Central
Y. NJ. c. A, ThompsOn-Hau building,
Washburn college library, Mulvane
building and the Santa Fe offices. Be
low the cuts are descriptions of the
most interesting edifces in Topeka.
On the opposite side on the brown
center of the flower are the words:
Topeka Kan; Topeka Will Visit US
and see the proof of these things"
On the petals radiating from the CEN
ter is printed matter which sets forth
some of the many advantages of To-
peka.
Ten thousand copies of the folder
have been ordered and it was decided
that 5000 of these should be retained
by the secretary of the club for gen
eral distribution, and that one folder
should be sent to each member of the
club as a sample, and also to the
1900 men in the city who ought to be
members of the organization. to-
gether with a circular letter saying
that if these gentlemen wish the
folders in large quantities they can
be supplied at the rate of 81 hun
drer or one cent each. If the mem
bers of the Commercial club wish a
half dozen of them to send to friends
they will be furnished gratis. Bust
ness firms wishing the folders may
also secure them at the rate OF 81
hundred.
Mr. MacLennan was asked to see
the state authorities in regard to the
lighting by electricity of the state
house dome.

In the previous years work self

This resulted in only limited con-
sumption of silage, the lambs filing up

satisfactory, but cost was excessive

cal change. Handfeeders were substi-
tuted and the stock practically forced

VALUE OF SHEEP
AND GOATS
Their Use IN Clearing Brush
Land for Cultivation.

Much has been said, written and
done of late years regarding the
great value of goats clearing brush
of permanent grass. 1t is true that
goats are great browsers on brushy
land and that they will soon clear
such land of undesirable growth. How
ever, they are to be recommended for
this use only when all the brush and
trees on the land are to be removed.
II some of the trees are to remain
for shade or timber purposes, the
goats will bark many of them, causing
the neither to die or to become de-
formed and almost unfit for use.
The writer has just visited large
estate in the hill land of Missouri,
where the estate is being partially
cleared for permanent blue grass pas
ture. Undesirable trees are cut out
and the best trees of best timber
value are left standing. Among the
good trees on this land which are
preserved for growth and future
utility are the black locusts, which
are widely known as an excellent
timber for fence posts, telephone
poles and railroad ties. The goats
are not content to browse on the ten
der sprouts alone, but they persist in
chewing the bark from the black To-
Gust trees and number of other val
liable trees SO as to permanently in
Jure them.
Sheep will keep down sprouts and
weeds on cleared land almost as ef
fectively as will goats, and they dc
not have the pernicious habit of try
ing to eat the large trees which may
be left in the field. If the trees and
other undesirable growth are cut out

lot an equal chance. The first feed
began October 19 and ended December
IA. The average weight going into the
feed-lot was II pounds; at the stock
yards on selling day So pounds. The
5000 lambs, costing S5@5.25 when put
in, sold in one lot at 81 after a 40-day
feed on the silage and corn ration.
The second feeding period was strung
out during the winter, drafts being
purchased at the Chicago market as
opportunity offered. Investment prices
ranged from $5.25 to $7.20 and sale
prices of the finished stock from 81 to
IS. They went in weighing rs to 80
pounds. None weighed less than 80
pounds coming out and some reached
104 pounds. All of the second feeding
were shorn and while the fat lambs
were mainly disposed, of before the
spring rise in prices otherwise finan-
cial results would have been greater)
booming wool market added materi-
ally to the profits. These lambs en-
joyed popularity in killing circles.
They dressed we'll and were regarded
by buyers as fully up to the standard
of lambs fed on hay and grain. The
grain delegation brought no better
prices than the silage-fed contingent.
The granted band consumed more
than twice as much grain as the
others.
All this relates to pea, not corn
silage, and the feed used in this In
stance was cannery waste. The exper'
iment has determined the feeding
value of pea silage in combination
with small corn ration. 1t indicates
possibilities for vast extension OF
cattle and sheep feeding in an area
not regarded as within the corn belt
proper, embracing Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Minnesota, where the pea
crop thrives

PEA SILAGE FEEDING OF
LAMBS in WISCONSIN

Mutt Making IS Experiment


Into the cavernous nav of silo 20

tucked away. From such silo a
Waukesha county (Wis.) firm market
ed during the past winter 5000 fat
western-bred lambs. AS results in this
case showed profit of around $1,000
better testimony as to the value of
silage for lamb finishing purposes
could not be desired. For the purpose
of making comparisons the firm fed
during the winter smaller band of
the same kind of lambs on hay and
corn, and that operation barely paid
expenses. The Waukesha feeding was
largely of an experimental nature and
was revolutionary in that the grain ra-
tion was reduced to minimum and
silage forced on the stock. Results
were so convincing that the ration of
last winter, practically one pound of
grain per lamb per diem with an un-
