CORN SILO GREAT
THING FOR FARM.

Corn silage is perhaps the most
economical stock food the farmer can
raise. 1t can be successfully grown
on any land between the Tooth meri-
dian and the Rocky Mountains where
buffalo grass grows. The corn stock
ear and all, is chopped up fine or
shredded, before being put into the
silo, and it contains it's strongest
feeding qualities if cut just before
frost, therefore corn for silage pur-
poses can be grown even in localities
where the seasons are very short, for
the reason it is not necessary for
corn to mature to be profitably put
into the silo.
A corn silo is simply big sauer-
kraut barrel filled with chopped up
corn stocks instead of chopped up
cabbage; there is no more mystery
about a silo than there is about a
sauer kraut barrel, and any farmer
who knows how to make sauer kraut
can fill corn silo. A round silo
IL feet in diameter, 20 feet high,
will hold S8 tons of corn silage. Five
acres of corn planted with lister,
dropping the grains eight to ten
inches apart, will fill silo OF
this size. The contents together
with hay or grass, will feed twelve

PORTLAND COMES OUT
WITH THRILLING BEAR TALE

Portland, Ore, April 26.--A bear
story that is vouched for as being
gospel truth" comes from the wilds
of southwestern Oregon. Along the
Upper Skies River, in Curry County,
people are few and far between and
such an adventure might readily be-
fall any one there.
Al Miller, Walter Endicott and
Henry Volkner all from Myrtle point
were prospecting for gold recently
on the Upper Skies, camping in a
split shake cabin near Salmon Noun
tain. Just below the cabin and
across a gulch was an open glade
and the prospectors agreed this was
favorable place for deer to come
at night to feed.
One night Walter and Henry took
the gun and went for deer, leaving
AL sitting in the cabin. The door
was left open and there was no light
within. Soon big bear walked in
and reared up on his hind legs, in
viting hug.
AL could not get out the door for
| the bear barred the way. He jump
ed upon the table and then swung
up on the cross beams overhead
where a few shakes were lying for
the storing of provisions. The bear
walked on his hind feet, looking up
at AL and daring him to come down,
The freed trapper sifted flour down,
thinking to blind Bruin, but the
flour went on the bears head and
back and had no effect. A can of
kerosene was handy, SO he poured
this down on the bear. Most of it
went on his back, however, and Al
then thought to drop match. He
had few in his pocket, but the first
one broke and fell without hitting
the invader. The second dropped
square on the bears neck.
| Instantly he was all afire. He
shot out of the door and down the
trail with the speed of cannon ball.
Twenty yards below the cabin he
met Walter and Henry, the latter
with a deer strapped to his back,
Both fell into the brush with loud
yells as the blazing bear rushed
towards them. AL has kept his ad-
venture from his partners and they
have had a great time explaining the
flaming apparition that charged
down upon them.

Now the pageants are abolished,

difference that the slap stick nova

the mechanical contrivances have a

Everywhere the pruning hand OF
economy is shown and little of the

were the making of the circus, re-

The people are entitled to know
what the public service corporations
are doing ana the conditions under
which they transact business" he
says. Il believe in, and have ad-
vocated, publicity OF corporation re-
ports for many years. When the
public becomes conversant with COR
poration affairs and is convinced that
it is seeing from the inside, much
of the feeling against the great
business concerns will pass away.
That will be one of the effects of
publicity" In the matter of public
control of quasi-public concerns,
Mr.. Hill is a firm advocate, but he
wants that control to be intelligent;
he wants only trained men in the
places Of control.
"A corporation is piece of paper
bearing the stamp and seal OF the
state" he says. Its life is created
by the people and naturally the peo-
pie should have some word in MAX

Both are things which eventually

some.
A round silo 10 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 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 80 steers three months.
Corn Stage has passed the ex-
detrimental stage. Practically every
university in the central eastern
states has demonstrated that corn
silage is the cheapest stock food
grown, considering it's value as a
milk and fat producer.
| A farmer located on the Burling-
ton route at Belmont, Neb., in the
extreme northwestern part of the
state, at an altitude of $500 feet,
has successfully grown corn silage
for many years, and during the
past seven years has grown an
average of eight tons per acre.
What this farmer has done can be
done by practically every other farm
er in the Burlington territory west OF
the hundredth meridian.

IT'S A VICIOUS LAW CO

1t is a vicious CD law that puts a
stop to the practice of sending pub
lie printing out of the county and the
state, particularly when it turns out
that it is costing the taxpayers about
twice as much for the work as it would
at home. 1t is too bad Monstrous
outrage! Let the home printer starve.
Let him devote his time to boosting
on other charity work That is what
the home printer is for. But in the
name of the great nornspoons don't
interfere with the fat business of the
outside printing concern that pays
neither taxes nor contributes to the
upbuilding of the community. Let us
have a law compelling the county Of
ficials to send all the work to Spo-
kane
Let us look at it in another way. To-
day. here in Moscow, the Star-Mirror
printing establishment furnishes sup
port for ten families, and every cent
of the money is spent in Moscow.
The payroll of the StarMirror is now
approximately $1,175 per month. This
money is distributed among the mer-
chants of Moscow, and some of it
reaches the man who raises potatoes,
apples, hogs and cattle Some of it
goes for rent, while some of these peo-
pie own their homes and pay taxes.
Some printers contribute to the
churches of Moscow.
Now, the more work done in Moscow,
or in the county, the more printers
that would have employment at home,
and the more business for local mer-
chants.
And yet there are those who would
advocate the repeai of a law that
makes trouble for the county official
who sends public printing out of the
state at an expense of almost twice the
price charged by the local printer.
It's too bad. The home printer is a
grafter(?) for favoring such law, and
ought to be ashamed of himself

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Star-Mirror extends to it's read
hope that the coming year will be as
fruitful of good as has been the past.
Moscow and Latah county citizens
have Jared well during the closing
year, in a material way there has been
splendid progress Looking into the
future it is hard to discern a cloud.
The star of hope looms big, with every
assurance that promised joy and pros
perity will come to full fruition.
With pardonable pride may we look
back over the year 1911 and contem-
plate the advancement made; with con-
fidence born of success we face the flu
ture. In no other year in history has
Latah county had more to make it

tural districts in all the states, and
the best of it is that the victories won
people BY comparison have we learn
ed our worth and possibilities, and
knowledge brings its inspirations and
determination to accomplish greater
things in years to come.
But the greatest good the thing that
ought to mean most to the ciizens of
Laah county, is not so much what we
have accomplished. as the fact that in
accomplishing something there has
developed spirit of UNIVERSAL good
fellowship among the citizens of La
tab county; our viewpoint has been
enlarged where we can see and under

cality and the private citizen is best
served by working together, rather

HAWLEY HEARS OF TAX
PLAN; RADICAL CHANGES

BOISE, Dec Ex-Governor JAS H.
Hawley has been in conference with
the members of the tax commission,
General Frank Martin and Judge J. f.
MacLain, appointed to draft revenue
law which may be considered at a
session extraordinary of the eleventh
legislature, by the chief executive At
this conference the new measure as
drafted was carefully gone over and
discussed Although little could be
learned of how complete the measure
is or how its terms agreed with the
ideas of Governor Hawley, it is I'M
derstood that he was pleased with the
progress made and approved of many
of the proposed revenue amendments
and recommendation drafted into the
bill
Will Be Strong Bill.
1t is now definitely known that the
revenue bill calls for radical changes
in the revenue system of this state. 1t
is said that some OF these changes are
almost revolutionary in form in that
they revise the old law to such an eX-
tent as to place in effect a new plan of
taxation. The taxation of corporations
and their holdings in this state, by
which direct revenue is secured for
state support, is said to be one of the
strongest features of the bill while
others are just as important.
Governor Hawley has intimated that
he will decide on the issuance of the
call for the special session about the
