SuAGE FOR
BEEF CATTLE.

The somewhat prevalent Idea among
farmers that beef cattle fed on silage
do not go to the block In as good con-
dition as those fed dry rations of
roughage has been disproved by
series of important investigations and
agriculture. The great value of silage
as a meat producer as well as for dairy
purposes is conclusively shown. In
the tests reported by Professor Soule
to the bureau of animal industry as
conducted at the Tennessee govern
ment experiment station with nine
groups of feeders. covering periods of
100 days feeding for market, cattle
fed on slower as the rough portion of
the ration made a good gain of 127
pounds per day, but those receiving a
succulent ration did much better max
ing an average gain Of LIS pounds per
day. The farmer who feeds for the
market cannot afford, 1t is stated, to
be without silo. Silage makes
most excellent feed for beef produc-
ton and one that In the long run will
make Ill exceedingly cheap pounu VI
gain by reason of the small amount Of
concentrated feed stuffs, grain, cotton
seed meal, etc.. required to be fed with
It.
The prejudice against silage for beef
cattle has undoubtedly come largely
from the demands of the butchers, who
have maintained that beef cattle so fed
were inferior meat producers. The i'm
portant result, therefore. Of the slaugh-
ter test of these cattle is found In the
fact that the silage fed cattle showed
the highest per cent Of good meat. thus
overthyowing the impression that such
cattle will not "kill WELL" The slaugh.
| ter test of fifteen dry fed cattle showed
q total of S,108 pounds of good meat
while that of fifteen succulent fed cat
tie was 1888 pounds, gain in favor OF
the silage fed cattle of OFT pounds OF
salable meat When the cattle In one

Lewiston Tribune: The farm

scribing $1,000 to the fund offer
ed as prizes for the best stock

business men almost took our
breath away and each member
of the stock association will co

city well repaid for what your
business men have done.
"The fact that big livestock
sale will be conducted immediate
ly after the show insures fancy

care in preparing for the show
In the event the animal or ami

In 1922 the first charter was obtain
ed for railroad in the United States.
1t was for line from Philadelphia to
a point on the Susquehanna river. but
was never built. On the announce

one of the Baltimore newspapers,
what is a railroad. anyhow The
editor was forced to reply that he did
not know, but that perhaps some 9TH

Seven years later on the little wood
en- track along the Lackawanna creek
the first locomotive had its trial. The
experiment was far from successful,
and for a number of years afterward
the trains OH most of the railroads con-
| tinued to be drawn by horses. The
| first locomotive on the Baltimore and
Ohio had sails attached. So did the
cars, These sails were hoisted when
the wind was In the right direction 30
as to help the locomotive.
The rivalry between the railroads
using locomotives and those using
horses was very bitter In August,
1880, an actual trial Of speed was held
between II horse and one of the pioneer
locomotives which did not result In
| favor of the locomotive. The race was
on the Baltimore and Ohio. the loco
motive being one built by Peter Coop
er, who also acted as engine driver.
The horse, a gallant gray, was In the
habit of pulling a car on track paral-
lei to that used by the locomotive. AT
first the gray had the better of the
race, but when he was quarter Of
mile ahead Mr.. Cooper succeeded In
getting up enough steam to pass the
horse amid terrific applause.

AS there were no brakes on the ear
" trains, they used to stop and to
start with jolts which threw the pas
sengers across the car. The coupling
was with chains, having two or three
feet of slack. which the engine in
starting took up with a series of fierce
jerks. The shock on stopping was
even worse and never failed to send
the passengers flying
There were no whistles In the old
days. Signals were given by pushing
up the valve on the dome by hand and
letting the steam escape with a loud
kissing noise. On the New Castle and

ton would rush to the arriving train
seize hold of 1t and pull back with al
their might while the agent stuck

was true Louisianian, born with

in the spring of 1861. Soon after
his marriage he left his wife and
