The Corn Silo.

Corn silage is perhaps the most
economical stock food the farmer can
raise. 1t can be successfully grown
on any land between the Tooth
meridian and the Rocky mountains
where buffalo grass can grow. The
corn stalk, ear and all, is chopped up
fine or shredded, before being put in
to the silo, and it contains its
strongest feeding qualities If cut just
before frost. Therefore corn Tor
silage purpose scan be grown in locall-
ties where the seasons are very short.
for the reason that it is not necessary
for corn to mature to be prottably
put into silo.
A corn silo is simply big sauer
kraut barrel filled with chopped up
corn stalks instead OF chopped up
cabbage; there is no more mystery
about slo than there is about a
sauerkraut barrel, and any farmer
who knows how to make sauerkraut
can fill a corn sio. A round silo,
II feet in diameter, 20 feet high, will
hold SO tons of corn sllage. Five
acres OF corn planted with lister,
dropping the grains to 10 inches
apart, will fill sllo OF this size. The
contents, together with hay or grass,
will feed twelve nilch cows eight
months. Twelve ordinary cows SO
fed and properly cared for will bring
gross income, from cream alone, OF
SIS per month, leaving the separated
milk for calf and pig feeding, There
are many half sections Of government
land yet open to settlement in Wyo-
ming that will support three times this
number OF cows and then some.
A round silo, Is feet in diameter, 80
feet high, will hold Isl tons OF corn
silage. Twenty acres of corn will
fill the silo The contents Of this silo
will feed 700 lambs for three months
and together with hay will put them
in shape to top the market for fat
lambs. Or, together with hay will
feed As steers six months, or 90 steers
three months.
Corn silage has passed the expert
versity in the central and eastern
states has demonstrated that corn
silage is the cheapest stock food that
can be grown, considering its value as
milk and fat producer
A farmer located on the Burlington
route at Belmont. Nebraska, in the
extreme northwes stern part of the
state, at an altitude of 4,5OO feet, has
successfully grown corn silage for
many years. and during the past
seven years he has grown an aver
age of eight tons per acre. What this
farmer has done can be done by prac-
tically every other farmer in the Bur
lington territory west of the Tooth
meridian.
If you want to make money easy
build silo on your farm.

Harry P. Lippincott, a paper sales
man well known in Newark. was
promptly released when taken to the
Fourth Precinct Police Court today.
No charge was lodged against him,
Patrolman McFeeley explaining that he
had locked Lippincott up on suspicion
only. Apparently the only grounds for
the arrest was the fact that Lippin-
colt and his wife had quarreled a short
time before Mrs. Lippincott died. LIP
plncott was in Jersey City when his
wffe's body was found by neighbors.
The couple lives at 213 Peshine ave-
nue.. They went to Jersey City Satur-
day to visit friends. While there LIP
p1ncott went out to get a drink. He
did not come back when his wife ex-
pected him, and when he did appear
she ~reproached him for staying away
SO long. She then declared she would
return to Newark and did so, leaving
her husband in Jersey City.
Early yesterday the odor of gas was
detected in the Peshine avenue house
by Nathan Elm, who lives on the floor
above that occupied by the L%ippincotts.
Upon investigation Elm end other
~neighbors found Mrs. Lippincott's life
less body. There was a combination
electric and gas light chandelier direct
ly above the bed where the woman lay,
n County Physician william H. Nc
kenzie, after investigating, decided the
gas jet had been opened accidentally.

When Lippincott reached the house
last evening he found the premises In
the possession of Patrolman McFeeley.
OF the Sixth Precinct. Lippinoott en-
tered and said:
What's up?"
Your wife was found dead this
morning"
My Godi" exclaimed L~lppincott.
And we parted in a quarrel"
~Thereupon the policeman placed Lip
pincott under arrest and locked him up
at the Sixth Precinct Police Station.
ID. c. Baer, father of the dead woman,
absolves Lippincott from all blame. He
said he knew no reason why his daugh-
ter should commit suicide, and believes
her death accidental. The home life OF
the couple, said Mr.. Baer, had always
been pleasant and the spat In Jersey
City is not thought to have anv bear
ing on h death of Mrs. Lippincott
Lippincott is on the verge of collapse
