REASONS FOR THE sILo.
Why Ensilage Should Be Used on
Every Stock and Dairy Farm.

Every stock and Dairy Farm.
The Nebraska Dairymen's associa-
ton recently offered prize for the
best essay on the silo. 1t was won
by w. G. Forbes of the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture, who summed up
thus:
Every stock farmer should have a
silo for the following reasons:
First.-Because corn silage is the
nearest and most economical substi-
tute for pasture grass, which is the
ideal Of all our rations.
Second.-That an acre Of corn silage
yields from 600 to 1000 pounds more
nutrients per acre than any other of
the farm crops.
Third.-That there is great economy
Of space in its use.
Fourth.-That its use makes 1t more
pleasant to feed stock and also saves a
great deal Of time and labor.
Fifth.-Because with its use In the
winter ration larger gains and milk
flows are the result.
Sixth.-With its use practically the
entire food value Of the corn crop is
obtained.
Seventh.-That the silo enables the
farmer to keep double the number of
head Of stock on the same farm.
Eighth.-That our fields are cleared
and ready for fall wheat or rye, as all
our cornstalks are safely stored In our
silo instead Of going to waste in the
field.
Ninth.-And lastly and probably the
most convincing of all is the fact that
practically every farmer now using
the silo would not do without it. When
we can grow and store away for win
ter use food that takes the place of
our pasture, and that food can be
raised on our farms at a less cost
than any Of our present feeds, the
equipment for the storing of such feed
should be installed on every stock and
dairy farm.

Horse Notes.

This Is none too early to give the
unused work horses special care to at
them for the early spring work.
Keeping the colts feet level and bal
anced makes all the difference In the
scundness and strength Of the legs.
Watch them!
The mare should be fed at all times
with . liberal ration Of clean and
nourishing feeds and should have an
abundance OF pure water.

saItina Butter.

The butter should be thoroughly
washed in the churn, taking care to
keep it in granular form till all the
buttermilk is removed. says Country
Gentleman. When the butter is taken
on to the worker the salt should be
mixed through 1t as well as possible,
still keeping 1t in granular form. Then
allow 1t to stand for Ave or ten min
utes for the salt to dissolve; then work
till the salt is all dissolved and no
grains of salt can be felt on the tongue
when morsel is put into the mouth.
If the salt is not all dissolved before
the butter is printed. 1t will be mot
tied. 1t is not at all necessary or ad-
visable to make the salt into a paste.
If the butter Is washed as described
there Is always enough water In It to
dissolve the salt.

Liquor Peddler Caught

Last Saturday, Ed Evens was examined in Commissioner s Court and held over for the Grand Jury to answer a charge of selling llq- uor to natives.
 Evens had been living in tent at the head of the bay for several days and 1t was there that the local officials expected to catch him last Friday night but Evens heard them coming and took to the hills. The officers gave chase but owing to the heavy rain that was falling, thsy were unable to follow him Tn the darkness. After a short and wet chase through the bushes, the officers saw the uselessness ot further sprinting and resorted to strategy. A deputy was lett in the tent and the officers walked along the beach toward town, talking loud enough so that Evens ln the bushes, could hear them. After q short wait, Evens; who was as we'll soaked with rain as the officers who had been following him, started to enter his tent, presumably for a change of clothes. and was sleZed by the waiting deputy. Evens was too badly scared to make any resistance and was safely landed in jail!
 Ed Evens will be remembered as an old ofendet} having escaped from the officers at Petersburg several years ago. He had been released from iail at ketchikan only five days hefcte his arrest here;

ADAMS COUNTY'S EXAMPLE or
SELF EXPERIMENTATION

Sweeping reforms have at times
been accomplished through the power
of a concrete example, when the evil
seemed most prevalent and mort diff.
cult to combat. Judge A. z. Blair.
holding court in Adams County, Ohio,
has furnished such an example ana
there IS reason to believe that the re-
suit of his work will be felt IN hun.
dreds of counties ana in many different
States. Our comment, therefore. Is not
for the purpose of holding up that
county to an unpleasant notoriety.
On the contrary Adams County is to
be praised and congratulated.
With no threat, or help, or sugges-
ton from the outside world Adams
County-lylng somewhat off tho main
lines of travel and left a good deal to
its own leadership and It's own conclu-
slon-has shown moral and social
power to regenerate itself. When elec-
ton day comes round again-as for ex-
ample next year when q president of
the United States is to bo chosen as
we'll as many other officials of narrower
neutrality-suspicious. County will have
a restricted electorate of perhaps 1000
votes as compared with the 5000 votes
available fer recent elections. But tho
1000 next year. will 80 to the polls with

Biz Attendance at Rally q,

Evening

Following we'll attended services
held in a number of the churches of
the city Sunday morning, at which
different Anti-Saloon league workers
spoke, the Antl-Saloon league wound
up their ield-day with q largely at
tended rally at the court house hall
Sunday evening. union services being
held by the churches at this time.
A male quartet and the ladies' choir
of the Congregational church rendered
several selections. -
Rev. K. b. Walker of the Methodist
Episcopal church read the scripture
lesson, Rev. W. H. North of the Con-
gregational church lead in prayer, and
Row. H. W. O'Dell Of the Westminster
PRESBYTERIAN church pronounced the
benedictiOn.
G.. l.. johnson, field worker of the
league, was first to address the aud
fence and in order to impress upon his
auditors the Importance Of doing away
with the liquor traffic he quoted LIN
coin, Greeley and number of other
noted men of this country who were
opposed to the saloon because of its
breeding so much 7lc9.
W. I. Norton, attorney of the Mime
sofa Anti Saloon league, made the
principal address of the evening, and
received generous applause. He spoke
On County Option, stating that it rests
with the people whether they Will
nave saloons or not, as they need not
have them unless they were willing to
invite them in, the saloon existing
only as long as the people allowed them.
Commenting on the claim Of some
that under County Option the blind
mig would flourish as never before, Mr..
Norton stated that in doing away
with the sow (the brewery and the
saIoon) the blind pig would also be
done away with.
The speaker said that the only reason
the state has for its existence is to
protect the people, and claimed that
officers in general did not open their
eyes to conditions prevailing and did
not do their duty.
That the grocery store, bank and
other legitimate lines OF business
would be benefited by thee doing
away with the saloon, was the
speaker contention, and he claimed
that in his experience as an attorney
ne found that liquor was the cause Of
most Crimes He stated that farmers
should cooperate to do away with the
saloon as it was just as dangerous tol
them as 1T was for those living in thu
cities.
