A CORRECTION.
Harvey 2. Eaton Explains What He
Did Say at Town Meetinu.

To the Editors of kennebec Journal:
In your report of the town meeting
held at Skowhegan Saturday it is said
that I stated that the promoters of the
Athens railroad were now assured of
the full amount required. This is an
error. The engineers estimate of the
cost of construction and equipment is
s15O,OoO. We feel that at least $4,000
should be raised by subscription to
stock before commencing work and
that the balance can be raised by an
tissue of mortgage bonds.
Athens and Skowhegan have eaci,
voted $4,000 apiece and we are ask
ing the Maine Central Railroad Co for
sl5,oOo. If that amount is granted, $780,
o0b will remain to be raised from indi-

Advantages Of a siIo.
N-No-N-N-NN-~-~N~


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
Its use by farmers who feel that they
cannot spare the money for such an
equipment. The intelligent feeder
who has carefully investigated the ad-
vantages of 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. II such results do
follow 1t 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
dairies are operated without the use
OF silage. 1t is equally valuable as
ration for young cattle and has decid-
ed merits when fed to steers being
fattened for market. Sheep and swine
thrive or silage. AZ part Of the ra-
tion Of roughage 1t 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 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 nutri-
ents. Feed cured in the open air sur
fers loss Of about 25 per cent OF nu-
triments, while ensilage loses about
10 per cent of nutriment.
Silage has been comprehensively
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-
tion, as succulent feed Is best for
dairy cows-Goodall' Farmer.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1910-02-11

To cheaper the cost of production
Is to increase the price of dairy prod.
ucts; and the only way to lower the
cost Is to feed and breed intelligently
The scrub bull is the bane and curse
of the dairy industry in Missouri and
the Southwest, as 1t Is everywhere
else. And it should also be remem.
bered that the best cow in the world
may be ruined as a milk producer by
improper feeding. If you do not own
a thoroughbred bull with good milk
stock in his pedigree, buy one at once.
Get out Of the old rut, and start right.
Go to work now and build up your
herd. The chances are that so per
cent of those who read this paragraph

to the right sort of a sire, and keep

The Profitable pairx Cow.

Some people seem to keep and milk
cows simply because others keep them,
without any regard to whether the
cows are paying profit. For cow
to be worth keeping she must pay a
profit on the feed and care given her.
For her to be really worth while, she
should produce 100 per cent more milk
than her feed costs. including pasture,
Of course.
1t does not matter so much what
breed a COW belong to. Simply be.
cause she is of Jersey or Holstein
blood. is not positive proof that she Is
more than paying her way. A com.
mon COW may be doing better than
she. The only way to find out what
she is doing is to weigh and test her
milk at regular and frequent intervals
Let her stand on her merits and not
on her ancestry.
One reason why some cows do not
pay greater profit Is that they are moi
fed all the nutritious feed they will
eat This is especially the case with
many farmers in winter, when pas
lures, are dead. Many Of them KEEP
their producing cows on nall iced
when they are not on pasture. and still
expect the cows to make up the loss
If a cow is worth keeping at all she Is
worth feeding all she can be induced
to eat. II 1t Is not found profitable
to purchase extra feeds SO that the
cows may have all that they will con
sumo, then 1t is best to keep only al
many cows as feed can be provided fol
on the farm.
Make the cav produce all the milh
she can by good care and feed, and
do not let her go dry until the time
she Is ready to turn dry. Keep the
best heifers from the best cows.-Jour
nal of Agriculture.
