length FOR Cutting siIaas.

1t is comparatively immaterial just
what length is adopted for cutting
corn into the silo. Anywhere from
one-half to one and one-quarter inches
will answer every purpose, SO far as
the animals eating it is concerned, I'M
less it be the very youngest of calves
or other young stock. The shorter it Is
cut the closer perhaps it will pack, but
our experience shows that not enough
is gained In this way to compensate
for the extra power and time required
for cutting 1t so fine.-Hoard's Dairy

BRING FORTH THE PRIVATE
BOARDS

AS soon as the new system of postal
banks goes into operation there should
be an end to the hiding of money on
the person or in supposedly we'll con-
cealed places about the premises.
Trunks are not safe repositories nor
are carpet edges, dark crannies or
stove holes. Uncle Sam will shortly
offer to receive deposits of money at
designated post offices from any person
over ten years of age and will pay two
per cent interest. A class who will
not trust any bank, however, unrea-
Sonable such Oyercautious people may
be, is knowni to exist, and now the
question is if they will have faith
enough in the National Government
to confide a surplus of money to it, at
interest, rather than carry it around
sewed in clothing or In the traditional
stocking stuffed in some odd nook pre-
sumed to be unnoted by the lynx eyes
of the dishonest. A large amount of
currency is believed to be kept out of
circulation by boarding of this hazard
GUS sort. The new law should bring
it out. One argument for the passage
of the law assumed that the money
now IN concealment would be poured
into the active channels of business.
Postal banks are an old institution
in other leading countries, where their
depositorS have the benefit of a cash
credit with the government, and the
money is available at any post office.
A Canadian deposition, for example,
wherever he may travel, has what is
practically a government letter OF
credit to the extent of his deposit,
and needs but to identify himself at
any Dominion Post Office to draw
upon or add to it. France, the most
famous land of thrift for men, women
and children, has great aggregate of
postal deposits, and the French peo-
pie, under government vigilance, are
accustomed to oversu bscribe public
loan, or to pick up good bargain
even If milliard or two are required.
Under the new law in the United
States deposit of 81 will be received,
but a system Of saving by dimes will
be facilitated. The maximum of a
deposit is fixed at $500. Evidently,
the design is to encourage saving
among persons of small means, under
the government guarantee of security.
Ordinary savings banks pay much
higher rate Of interest and will con-
tinue their large utilities on proved
sound basis.

THE absorbing topic of interest just
now is the trolley question with a wide
divergence OF opinions as to details,
influenced largely by personal if not
selfish reasons. The very large pro-
portion of our citizens, however, want
to get all the benefits possible from the
trolley road and think the traction
company should be treated in liberal
Spirit by the board of aldermen. The
proportion of citizens and tax payers
who will use the trolley cars to those
who ride in carriages and automobiles
will be ten to one and it is often me-
cessity and not luxury. The point
is made that the curve on Elm street
might be an element of danger, but
the same situation exists in scores Of
places and the possibility of danger
inSures greater care to avoid suits for
damages. To sum up the situation
foreign capital has come here to sup
ply long felt need and in the name
of common sense let us get the full
benefit Of it.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
FEEDING Dairy Cows.

At the Ohio experiment station tests
have been made in feeding dairy cows
on dry rations and on silage. The re-
suits of these tests, according to a
bulletin issued by that institution,
show that the average amount Of wa
ter consumed by silage fed cows per
day was 93.9 pounds, while that con-
sumed by grain fed cows was only
60 pounds. Cows fed on the silage ra.
ton produced on an average 967
pounds of milk and So pounds of but
ter fat for every 100 pounds of dry
matter consumed. while cows fed the
grain rations only averaged S1.3 pounds
of milk and SO pounds of butter fat
for every 100 pounds of dry matter
consumed.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds of
milk was 68 cents with the silage ra-
ton and $1.05 with the grain ration.
The cost of feed per pound of butter
fat was 1871 cents with the silage ra-
ton and 22.1 cents with the grain ra-
tion. The average profit over cost of
feed per silage fed cows was $3.50 per
month and for grain fed cows $2.46.

THE digging up of the general rail-
road act of 1873 by the Newark
News" is causing the turbulent COM
muters to pause and think. That law
provides that any company incorpor-
ated under the act shall have power to
make, from time to time, such rates
as it shall think reasonable and prop
err, provided the company shall not
charge more than three cents per mile
for carrying each passenger. This is
held to mean that any rate under
three cents mile is not unreasonable
or unjust, so that communication rates
that are less than those figures cannot
be legally disputed. But that fact
does not excuse the sharp advances in
passenger rates on those who have as
sisted the railroads in building up a
profitable suburban traffic. The long
aud short haul rates might be more
nearly equalized than appears to have
been done In some cases. AT all
events, the railroad arrangements
should always endeavor to conciliate
their patrons rather than attempt
anything that savors of oppression.
The date for putting into effect the
new rates has been postponed till
August 1st, by which time conditions
may be improved.

IT now appears that the late Con-
gress was not billion dollar" one,
as the Democratic leaders and press
have been asserting. According to the
figures of Chairman Tawney, of the
House Appropriation Committee, the
appropriations of the late term amount
TO about 1907 100000 For campaign
purposes, the Democrats will no doubt
persist in calling it billion dollar
Congress and ignore the facts and
figures which prove that the late ses-
most economic Congress for some
years past. 1t cannot be denied that
government expenses will grow with
the growth of the population and the
development of the country's re-
sources, but that does not forbid that
the administration should endeavor to
conduct public affairs in the most
economic manner possible. The fact
is President Taft has enjoined economy
on the management of all the govern
ment departments, and he has been
heartily seconded by the House APP
preparation Committees, so that sue
cess has attended their efforts in keep
ing down the aggregate Of appropria-
tions. In this connection it is stated
that the revenues of the government
for tho ourrnnt focal voor op1inu Q0tl,
inst. will probably show a surplus,
which is evidence that the new tariff
law is good revenue producer, and in
all essentials the best measure of the
kind ever placed on the statute books.
The finances of the country are In ex-
cellent condition, and that is SO clear
that partisan assaults cannot fool the
intelligent voter.

The silo In Kansas.

Perhaps there never was a time
when the interest in the silo was so
great as it now is in Kansas. This in
terest does not come entirely to dairy
farmers, nor is it confined to the east
ern part of the state. Dairy farmers
have demonstrated its value fer their
use. and this has been so great in CIV
ing their stock nutritious and succu-
lent feed i'll the winter as well as in
the dry months as we'll as in enabling
them to save the entire corn crop In
stead of wasting about 40 per cent Of
Its value, as is commonly done when
the ears only are gathered that other
farmers who have stock are watching
the silo. In rough or sandy portions of
the state. where there is pasture with
bnt little piow land, the silo is boon.
In the drier sections. where the corn
is not always sure crop. it is of high
value, while in saving the first crop of
alfalfa it will soon pay for itself. Corn
sTlage with alfalfa hay is very nearly
an ideal ration and will make beef as
well as milk. kansas Farmer.

SETTING Up a Principle.

The rich man was worried. He fear
ed the old master he had just pur-
chased was not genuine. He dreaded
the possibility that the public would
look upon him as an easy mark for art
takers. So he sent for the eminent ex-
pert.
The expert came and looked at the
picture and shook his head Then he
smelled of it and frowned ominously.
will you have to taste it, too?" the
magnate anxiously inquired.
The expert waved him aside.
Then he tested the painting with
acids and with cold and heat. He
scraped it down with palette knife
and soaked it in boiling oil. He drew
out the fiber and cut holes in the can
vas and sawed it longitudinaIly.
Presently he turned to the magnate.
The picture is genuine" he said.
The magnate stared from the wreck
ed painting to the eminent expert
But, great Murillo.'s he, cried, '.the
thing is absolutely ruinedm
The eminent expert frowned.
What is the loss Of painting to the
establishment Of the eternal principles
OF truth?" he haughtily replied.
Whereupon the magnate sadly recall
ed the old adage that has reference to
the bliss of ignorance = Cleveland

THE Democratic State Committee
met at Asbury Park on Saturday and
pointed with pride and viewed with
alarm as usual. They decided that
they would not announce a date for
the state convention. A sub,commit-
tee will attend to that, No doubt 1t
will be good politics to wait until the
Republican convention date is an
nounced and then to choose a later
date. In a measure the Democratic
candidate will depend upon whom the
Republicans nominate and then it
will be handy to have the Republican
platform so that In the matter of
promises they can see the Republicans
and go them one better. 1t is an easy
matter to make a Democratic plat
form. Promise anything that looks
popular. The promises will not be
called for after election.

In this day there is drunkenness,
and much drunkenness, but it is no
compliment to get drunk and no credit
comes to the one who sells. The word
temperance" means to-day what it
never meant before. A century ago
about the most advanced thinking in
regard to the temperance question
was that intoxicants were harmful
when used to excess but it was no
uncommon thing for church officials
to drink in the open. Ministers, too,
would drink, and liquors were freely
exposed at church celebrations. One
hundred years ago the liquor busi-
ness was, comparatively respect
able. In every village grocery the
barrel OF whisky was, plainly wish
BILE, indeed, it occupied a place Of
honor. for 1t set midway between a
barrel of vinegar and barrel Of mo-
lasses, and the barrel Of whisky was
just as important as the barrel OF vim.
egar or the barrel of molasses. But,
rs DIR. George G. Wilding tersely puts
IT. "The people have come to see a
great light" 1t has gone into hiding
behind screens and blinds and has lost
forever it's air Of responsibility. The
mark of the beast has been stamped
upon it, and he who sells the poison
becomes stigmatized. His business ex-
cIudes him from practically every fra
ternal organization. His wife and
family are compelled to suffer socially.
And he is not wanted in our churches
until he gives up his business. And
in England the government has seen
fit to declare that saloon is no fit
place to expose an American flag, 60
ing even farther than we had thought
to go.
