sILo USEFUL FOR DAIRYMEN
EnsiIage Gives succuIence and is Much
Easier to Digest Than Dry
Corn Fodder.
>By s. IL, MILLER,

\oy D. IA H.
The silo Is text which is always
inspiring to the man who knows it's
value and it cannot be preached
too often. Wherever it is seen it de-
notes good farming. 1t serves the
problem of turning into the highest
efficiency that portion of the corn
crop which fails to reach the desired
maturity as feed. The silo can be
filled at less expense than the same
amount of dry feed can be cared for
and 1t makes better feed. This ia,
after all, the main point to consider.
Dairymen have learned that when
cows are kept in the stable for five to
seven months they cannot return as
satisfactory profits If they are con.
fined to a ration of dry feed alone
Ensilage gives succulence and is much
easier to masticate and digest than
dry corn fodder. There is also great
saving of labor in feeding ensilage
over feeding dry corn fodder. The mi
tial expense keeps many silo from
decorating the landscape, but 1t il
good practise to economic in other d.
rections to provide for it. Once built
and rightly built 1t will not have te
be renewed for many years, so the
cost is spread out so thinly that II
cuts no great figure in the bushes.

Following is a copy Of letter
addressed to the different land
Offices in the; district affected,
sent out by the department of the
interior, interpreting the order,
which in a measure explains it,
self:
Hereafter, when proofs are
submitted before you the claim
ant should be advised that if they
sign the election to take patent
with the reservation of the coal
to the government, it will avoid
the long delay incident to a sus-
pension of the proof and trial of
the question as to the coal or nom
coal character of the land. 1t is
earnestly requested that you uni
formly call the attention of the
entrymen when they offer proof
before you that unnecessary delay
may be avoided. OF course if
they insist that the land is non
coal and refuse to accept q pat.
ent with the coal reservation, q
hearing will be had at some flu.
ture day to determine the ques-
tion.
If the land is subsequently
classified as non-coal, entrymen
will be entitled to an unre-
stricted title, Notwithstanding
they may have signed an election
to take patent reserving the
coal to the government.
"When netice of intention to
offer proof is hereafter given
through you for lands embraced
in the withdrawal. it would be
we'll to have an election signed
and attached to the application
to make proof If the entrryman
declines to elect he should So
state in writing. Either the cleo.
tion or denial of the coal charac.
ter Of the land must accompany
the application to make proof. ;"

Dedicate New Church

In religious work there are cor.
tain times of great victory and
rejoicing. The greatest season Of
JOY is the time when manv souls
are saved through conversion
But a season of almost equal low
because , it is kind of foundation
for the former. is the time
when new house of worship is
finished and dedicated. This is the
time when the people of the
church invite all their friends
from far and near to come to-
gether and rejoice with them.
Rocky Butte church now has the
pleasure to extend such an invi-
tation. for the date of the dedica-
tion of their new church is on
Sunday, September 18th.
The church is located nine miles
south OF Beach aad three miles east.
in the center Of a prosperous farm.
ing community, and where it
stands it can be seen from q long
distance. This is valuable, for the
very sight of a house dedicated
to the divine worship should
quicken the thought of. and
awaken a feeling of reverence for.
God. The building is a lasting
credit to the whole community.
and especially to the Christian
wisdom of those who have borne
the chief responsibility.
The church is to be formally
dedicated on Sunday, September
18th. A special program is now
e oe!ng prepared. Rev. E. Il.
stlckney. Of Fargo, state superin-
tendcnt, will be present.
1t is planned to have an all-dav
meeting. The ladies of the church
will serve refreshments for all who
come. The morning service will
be at II, and the afternoon ser.
vice at 800.

lot. which makes 1t possible to com
pare the value of the barley with
corn. A comparison of each grain
fed in connection with the shorts re-
Quired to produce pound OF gain
shows that 1t took over Is per cent.
more barley than corn.
The average of two trials carried
on at the Wisconsin experiment sta.
ton to compare the feeding value Of
barley with corn for swine show that
1t required about eight per cent. more
barley than corn to make a pound of
gain. There is rather wide differ
ence between the results obtained in
this trial and the work done at Wis.
consin. The difference can in part
and perhaps wholly be accounted for
by the grade Of barley fed In this
trial. During the latter half Of the
trial the barley fed was OF a very
Inferior grade, as we found it neces-
sary to buy the barley from the local
feed store.
These hogs were marketed at 1920
per cwt. at the end Of the trial. On
the basis of the price the hogs were
sold for and the gains made the corn
netted SO cents per bushel and the
barley 50 cents per bushel. The re-
turns received for the grain are very
high and show that good price was
received for these grains through the
price received for the hogs.
The hogs in the two lots differed
considerably in appearance at the end
Of the trial. The barley-fed lot were

the political goosebones Of the

opinions carry weight. Two

these same men are saying that

fessor Of Agriculture. Agricultural!
College, North Dakota.)
Millets are usually grown as catch
crops and 20 fill in places, which
would otherwise be wasted. When
early seeded crops fail for any rea-
son and it is too late to reseed, millet
may well be grown. No other crop
will make better supplement for
hay and pasture.
There are three general types Of
millet: foxtail, broom corn, and Japa-
nese. The most common varieties Of
the foxtail are the common, German,
Hungarian. and Siberian; Of the
broom corns, hog, White ural, Voro-
nezh and Russian; of the japanese or
barnyard grass, there are few we'll
developed varieties. As the term mil-
let is commonly used, 1t includes
some sorghums as pearl millet The
term is very general one.
The foxtail millets have heads In
spikes. They are grown chiefly for
hay and in pasture mixtures. The
common millet is seldom grown and
is not as satisfactory as the German
miilet which is resembles. Seed sold
for common millet is very apt to be
composed Of pigeon grass. The Ger
man millet has large nodding heads;
It is larger and later than common
millet, and is best suited to heavy and
rich soils. German millet produces
well and makes very good quality Of
hay. The Hungarian millet may be
they being Of about equal numbers
light and dark colored. Hungarian
millet is becoming very popular in
North Dakota, as it is considered to
be more drought resistant, and $'ft
makes finer quality of hay than
those mentioned previously.
Most seed companies handle both
northern and southern grain seeds OF
these varieties; southern grown seed

the production OF hay. giving larger

ments. which have been conducted at
this station dc not show such re-
suits
The broom corn millets are grown
for the seeds which are used for feed
They Withstand large amounts of
drought and will produce satisfactory
grain yields on soils TOO dry and too
ligh, for the production OF barley or:
other grains. The seeds should be-
ground before feeding
The japanese millets are close rela-,
tives of our wild barnyard grass,
which is a weed everywhere. espe..
cially on low ground. They are not
very popular and 1t is doubtful If they
are as valuable for hay as the Hun
garian or German millets.
Millets are grown for seed, for hay,
for soiling crops. as pastures, and in
pasture mixtures. Two pecks should
be sown per acre of any Of the varie-
ties named. Seeding should be de-
layed until the ground becomes warm
and is IN good condition. AS the seed
Is small, il should not be planted
more than l11 inches deep
There lie a good deal of controversy
as TO the proper time to cut millet for
hay. Mil!et hay usually has a very
Injurious effect when fed to horses,
and it is claimed that this can be over
come by cutting at the propert time.
The millet should be cut before the
seeds are well formed. 1t is doubtful
II the injurious effect can be overcome
by changing the time of cutting. u
fed to horses, it should be alternated
with some hay made from grass.

MAY Be PASSED
President Hopeful of Sufficient
Majority in Senate to Rush
it Through.

WASHINGTON. u. u, June a.
Postal savings was the star number
on the Senate program to-day. and the
time was occupied chiefly by friends
OF the Senate postal bank bill who
protested against change OF the
House measure. Under the lash of the
President however IL appeared GER
tain Il majority Of the Senate would
turn complete and graceful somer-
sault and surrender the principles
they had Incorporated in the Senate
bill
Test votes on amendments indicated
that Taft had won over members
enough to insure the adoption of the
the House bill With it's acceptance
practically assured the prospects were
that II would be given large ma =
jority. A number of Senators who
were bitterly opposed to the House
bill intimated that they would vote
for Il rather than go on record as be-
ing opposed to the postal savings bank
system. II was also considered bet
ter to pass an Objectionable bill than
none at all, amendment OF an existing
law being much easier than the pas
sage or a new law.
Insurgents and Democrats, who ia :
vored the Senate bill, say to-day that
the excitement In administration cir

based on vision. They declare that
while reasonable time was desired for
