The remarkable efficiency of the silo
for increasing the feeding value OF The
corn plant has been clearly demon
strated with cattle. but has often been
looked upon by sheepmen with sus-
picion. That such suspicious are not
well founded is shown by the follow
ing trial conducted at this station in
1901. BY the addition of corn sill
age TO a ration Of shelled corn and
clover hay fed 10 western lambs. the
rate OF gain was increased five per
cent. and the cost OF gain decreased
ten per cent Moreover. the selling
value OF the lambs was increased ten
cents per 100 pounds by the addition
of the silage TO the ration. As re-
suit of these advantages gained by
feeling silage there was a difference
OF 245 cents per lamb in favor OF us
ing corn silage as a part of the ration.
The value OF corn silage is further en-

there was a saving In cost OF gain OF
90 cents per 100 pounds and an addi-
.tional selling price OF Is cents per 100
pounds.
In feeding corn silage to lambs. sew
eral facts must be borne In mind.
Principally among these. II should lie
remembered that moldy silage is prac-
tically always fatal 10 sheep. A large
per cent of the fatalities among sheep
receiving silage occur In the spring

The San Jose scale is now found in
was imported from China and thus
has no natural enemies in this coun-
try. Wherever man does not combat
1t the scale multiplies unchecked I'M
til the trees On which 1t is found die.
Most of our old home orchards have
passed out of existence by way of the
scale route. This loss of good, healthy.
bearing trees is preventable one and
some OF the very effective remedies
should be applied in the earlier stages
of the scale infestation.
The best remedy for the San Jose
scale that has yet been found is lime
sulphur wash. This material can
either be bought In the form of a
commercial mixture or made up at
home. When bought II should be one
Of the high -grade articles and should
test better than 80 degrees Baume.
The homemade material can be made
by cooking together SO pounds OF
good, freshly burned lime and so
pounds of high-grade flowers of sui
phur in so gallons of water for one
hour. This homemade solution should
test about 1928 degrees Baume. Both
the commercial mixture and the home
made solution are concentrated and
should be diluted before being applied
to the trees.
AS the Sar Jose scale is an armor-
ed insect protected by waxy cover
ing. very caustic material must be

used In its control. In order not to
injure the tree this material must be
applied while the trees are dormant
Hence all spraying for the scale must
be done during the winter months.
Any time when the weather permits
from November to March will be sat-
isfactory
The commercial lime sulphur
should be diluted at the rate OF one
gallon to nine of water and the home
made solution diluted at the rate al
one gallon to six of water Both spray
solutions will then test about 4.5 de-
grees Baume on the hydrometer
AS the lime sulphur solution Is a
contact insecticide, every portion Of
the tree should be coated If the
scales are to be killed they must be
struck with the spray solution. Great
cation of the material as those scales
not killed can reinfect the whole tree
In one season.
Contrary TO popular belief, the San
Jose scale is not the hardest pest to
control which infests the orchard.
Proper material applied at the proper
time and in the proper way will kill
80 per cent of the insects. Either pur-
chase a good brand Of commercial
lime sulphur or carefully make your
own and then apply it conscientiously
and you will be able to save your
home orchards from destruction by
the San Jose scale

In one of those moods of discour-

casionally seize upon the most op-

ed the decay of patriotism and the
absence of patriots in this day and

The father in France is the rec

is vested the clan tradition Of au-I
thority. The law is his right arm,
as custom has also handed to him,
the scepter of ru~lership. In many
cases French law is tyrannical.
How stringent, how oftentimes rig
orouslv unjust, are the workings Of

DON'T BURN LEAVES.
They Should Be Turned Over Into the
Soil as Fertilizers.

Fools burn leaves, leaving for
themselves a pinch of poor ash, but
sending back into the air what wa,
taken from it by the process OF
growth. These thousands Of tons
are not made out of the earth, but
out Of the air, and are intended to
be turned over into soil. II you
plant d tree in a tub of dirt and
leave it there until it weighs d hun
drod pounds you will find by weigh
ing the Dirt that the tree was not
made up of what was in the tub,
but almost altogether of what it
could get from the air-carbon and
nitrogen for the most part, with
hydrogen composing a good share
of the liquid part of sap.
The elements of the soil hat are
not in the air are deep down under
the surface Of the soil or incorpo-
rated in the rocks. The most i'm
portant 7 potash and phosphorus.
You get some potash from ashes,
weed waste, soapsuds, and there
are a few soils that in their natural
tate + entirely deficient in this
element. The timber soils of our
corn belt contain about 1000
pounds of phosphorus per acre.
Raising crops that use up these Gle
mcnts steadily lessons the POSSIBLE
ity Of growing any crops at all. We
have got to find them in the soil;
if we use them up we have got to
replace them.
Agriculture should be renamed
agriculture, because we are really
taking from the air the larger part
Of our annual crops. What we must
know is how to do this most read
lily. Our fathers knew that they
must use manure, and they knew
that they must rotate crops. They
knew also that living plants fed on
decaying plants, this having first
served as food for animals.-Out-

Spaniels, of which there are

first come from Spain, from which
circumstance is derived their dis

the designation of his pets, known
