COMPARE FODDER AND sILAGE
Experiments Carried on At Indiana
Station Shows Waste Of 20 to IS
Per Cent. in Former.

Frequently one hears the complaint
that the hard work incident to filling
silo far outbalances the superiority
OF ensilage over dry fodder. They
claim that dry fodder is good enough
and that although the cattle do not
eat all Of 1t they eat that which con-
tains the most nourishment 1t is q
readily conceded fact that there will
be waste in connection with fodder
even in its best form
The Indiana experiment station has
shown that this waste varies from
twenty to thirty-five per cent. The
same authority tells US that cattle
will consume all of the silage If it is
not fed In excessive quantities. Fur
Their than this, the silage goes to
them in the shape that provides a sue
culent feed most nearly supplementing
the condition of pasture. 1t is gen
orally accepted that the dairy COW
does best when upon fresh grass.
Granted that this is the case, the more
nearly your can produce fresh grass
conditions the better will be your re-
turns and the more profitable dairy
ing will be.
After all, when you come to figure
the work of shocking corn, drawing 1t
to the shredder, putting the grain In
the crib and shredded fodder in the
NOW, there is little difference between
the work necessary for filing the silo
and getting the dry feed ready for
feeding.
There is another point to be taken
into consideration and that is the fact
that the grain in the silage is all
ready for feeding without grinding.
II the grain is to be fed in connection
with the shredded fodder, 1t Will be
necessary to grind or chop it at least.
This task is saved by the silo.

Australian Voting.
system

Our Australian ballot" system
was made in Massachusetts,, but its
old name still holds. though the Aus
tralians have never had anything like
it, their ballots being decided i'm.
provement on "the Australian ballot.
The names of all candidates for an
office are placed one under another
in alphabetical order and without
party designation. The voter must
use some discernment In voting, and
the bonds of party organization are
weakened. Two new ideas have been
adopted The man absent, or five
miles removed from his voting place
casts his ballot by mail. or, under an
other law, he may declare his eligibil.
ity for voting in Australia and cast
his ballot at the place where he hap
pens to be- The first idea, though la.
beled new" in the cable dispatches
is not entirely SO, for the New Tea
landers have had somewhat similar
provision for some years and it evil
IDENTIFY has worked SO satisfactorily
as to commend 1t to their neighbors
The Australian feature of ballotine
transmitted to us was the secrecy and
official character of the ballot rather
than its arrangement.

IN THE SHEEPFOLD.

Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt
and foul odors affect sheep quickly.
Feed that will keep the bowels open
is the best for this time of the year.
Wheat bran helps to do it.
Sheep will make good use of about
every weed that grows on the farm,
except possibly. thistles and mullen,
and turn them into first-class mutton.
Sheep will dig pretty close to the
grass roots in the early spring if you
give them chance. They like taste
of something fresh. If you feed them
plenty of turnips this will satisfy their
appetites.
1t Is the farmer who keeps sheep
for number of years that finds them
most profitable. Some years they will
return a much better profit than 9TH
ers and 1t is hard to sell and buy at
Just the right time.

There's something wish you

that causes a hard-headed business

BETTER POULTRY BEING KEPT
People All Over Country Paying More
Attention to Pure Bred Stock
in Their Chicken Yards.

All over the country people art
keeping better poultry than they did a
few years ago. They have found that
better hens and other poultry pay bet
ter with the same amount of feed and
care than do mongrels. On some farms
mongrel f1ocks may be found, but on
most farms at least good male breed
ing birds are kept and mated with
common stock, so that the ordinary
flock now shows distinctive qualities in
some direction.
It is rather common now for one
farmer to ask another what kind of
chickens he is raising just as he would
ask about his special breed of hogs or
sheep. The average man has come
to consider himself not much of a
poultry raiser if he cannot at least
boast of pure bred ROSTERS of some
common strain.
One reason why more farmers do
not have better breeds of poultry is be-
cause the Matching and brooding sea.
son comes in their busiest time of the
year. Yet many farmers are beginning
to realize that there is good profit in
working with their poultry part of the
time, as there is with other live stock
and with field crops.
They now take some time to feed
and care for poultry and to make crops
and other things for the requirements
of the growing stock. The time is fast
coming when most farmers will grow
as good quality of poultry as people in
other lines of work

Physician Said Appendicitis
Call S.ones Expelled by the Great
Kidney Preparation

I thought would do you favor and
let you know what Swamp Root has
done so far for me.
About one year ago l was taken sick
with a terrible pain in my right side
Ny family physician pronounced it ap-
pendicitis. About two weeks ago re-
ceived your Almanac and read in it
about weak kidneys, and my back hurt
ing me so much, I thought would try
your Swamp-Root and to my great
establishment, after using one bottle, I
expelled three gall stones, which
weighed 1875 grains-just think of it.
Ny kidneys are not well yet, and so I
have concluded to continue with
Swamp Root. Mr.. Schwake, the drug
gist, thought that it never was appen-
mistake. It was no doubt, gall stones
that caused the trouble, or they would
not have come away SO soon after COM
mencing with Swamp-Root.
I shall always praise DR.. Kilmer s
Swamp-Root to all those who suffer
from kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and am very thankful that I ever dis
covered such a worthy remedy. I feel
confident that it will cure me entirely
of all kidney and liver trouble.
