Representatives of Governors Take
Initial Steps Toward Legislation.
Kansas City, Dec 30.-Initial steps
towards obtaining legislative investiga-
tions of the sanitary condition of the
Iowa and Nebraska have been taken
here.
Representatives selected by the gov
ernors of Kansas and Nebraska met
and appointed a committee to Draw up
resolutions asking the legislatures OF
the four states to choose sanitary COM
mittees to make thorough inquiries into
the condition of the river water. The
committee consists of W. c. Hoad, SAM
tary engineer of the Kansas state board
of health, and Dr. R. w. Connell, health
commissioner of Omaha. Resolutions
drawn UP by them will be reviewed by
the governors and boards of health of
the four states before they are sub
n:itted to the legislatures.
Resolutions were adopted by the meet
ing declaring conditions of the river
from Sioux City to ST. Louis with ref
erence to the water supply, the disposal
of sewage and manufacturing wastes
were such as to make it desirable that
the river be investigated. None OF the
conferees we're certain that the water
was bad, but they were unanimous in
the opinion that an investigation would
be timely. Nearly 100000 people be-
tween here and Sioux City obtain their
water supply from the Missouri river.
Those in attendance at the meeting
were DIR. G. W. ALBANIAN, Atchison'

PRISONER MAD, SAYS FATHER.
Warrant May Save William Engle
Trial on Felony Charge

lola, Kan, Dec. 3O.-The mental
condition of William Engle, held in the
Douglas county jail at Lawrence,
where he is said to have confessed to
stealing a horse and buggy from F..
M. MATHEWS of Kansas City, Mo-, may
save Engle from trial on a felony
charge. In the probate court here an
insanity warrant has been issued for
Engle and Allen county officers will go
to Lawrence to bring the prisoner
here.
Engle formerly was marshal of Gas
City and left here for Kansas City
about two weeks ago where he said he
expected to find employment. His
father, at whose instance the insanity
warrant was issued, says that his son
is unbalanced mentally and has been
for some time. He is securing affi-
davits to take to Lawrence in an eff
fort to get the officers to turn the
prisoner over to Allen county officers.
Engle is said to have sustained an
accident several years ago from which
he never fully recovered.

from mature corn gives the most sat-
isfactory results with all classes of
cattle.
In filling the silo, much heavy lift
ing in the field can be avoided by
having either loW-down truck wagons
or special low~down silage wagons.
These are made in various ways, but
usually with two timbers fastened be.

wheels will permit, and coming to a
point and swung below the front axle.
The rack is then either built up over
the wheels, or the timbers made Iona

bers coming to a point at the front
axle enables the wagon to turn quite
short, even when it is coupled rather

For small and medium-sized silos
there is no particular advantage in

difficult to get enough corn to them

past two years. I was at Mr. Haa
vens farm in February, 1909, and
again in March, 1910. Both tines en-
silage from stacked corn IVES being
fed to herd of dairy COWS. In 1908
the ensilage was of as fine quality as
have ever seen from silo, with the
exception of the outside OF tie stack
which was spoiled for a depth of from
twelve to eighteen inches. This part
was cut off with hay knife, as re
moved from the stack. In 1910 Q90e
CROP the corn came out of the stack
very dark, almost black, but we'll pre-
served, good quality of ensilage; an6
it was all consumed, with the excep
ton of the outer part of the stack.
The corn was cut with a corn har
vester, hauled in directly from the
field, and stacked with a derrick and
hay sling. The stacks were made
somewhat after the same manner as
grain stacks, except that the middle
was kept level and the sides straight
The stacks were made from sixteen tC
twenty feet in diameter and about
twenty feet high. Care was taken tt
lay the bundles even, and close to
gether, trampling them down firmly
as laid When the stack was built
planks were laid over the top, ant
stones placed on the planks to weigh
down and compress the stack.
The stacks were built beside the
barn, so that the bundles could be
thrown from the stack into the barr
for feeding. The only protection from
freezing was about two feet of hay
kept on top of the stack and moved
, from side to side as the bundles were
taken out. Heat generating within
the stack seemed to keep the ensilage
from freezing to any great extent.
While this system is not recon-
mended as preferable to the silo, it is
undoubtedly superior to curing the
corn in the shock in the field, both
from the standpoint of quality of feed
and the amount saved. The waste

ENSILAGE WITHOUT A SIL0
Good Results From the Stacking of
Green Fodder Corn.


Green Fodder Corn.
For a number of years it has been
reported that ensilage could be made
by stacking the green corn out of
doors. Very few were disposed to
give any credit to this method of max.
ing ensilage. The loss of ensilage in
a poorly constructed .silo is often great,
and the idea of preserving green corn
without protection from the air at all
seems preposterous. But this is done,
and with marked degree of success.
There are a number of farmers in the
vicinity Of Mcintosh, Mimi, who have
been stacking their fodder corn green
for the past three years, and who are
satisfied that they get much more
profitable results than by curing the
fodder corn in the ordinary way.
The results of this method of stack.
ing green fodder corn were observed
by the writer on the farm of Mr.. Ole

The time for filling the silo is at
hand. There are several things which
should be taken into consideration in
order to get the most satisfactory
silage, from the feeding standpoint,
and to fill the silo in the easiest and
most economical way.
1t is now pretty generally acknowl-

Investigations made along this line
