United States-would seem to indicate
that advantages very similar to those
accruing from this treatment of corn
may be obtained by ensiling clover
The other economies effected by the
sile are accompanied by a great saw
ing in the use of land. Professor
Grout of the Minnesota Experiment
Station not long ago showed that the
erection of a silo was equivalent to
the addition of twenty acres to the
area of an ordinary farm. Now
comes Professor Wilbur J. Fraser,
chief of dairy husbandry in the Uni
versity of Illinois, with the following
statement, in Hoard's Dairyman, of
the results of recent experiments:
"An acre of good corn will furnish
forty pounds of silage per day to a
cow for 500 days, and an acre of al.
falfa will furnish sixteen pounds of
hay per day to cow for 500 days.
This makes good ration for a cow
producing twenty-five pounds of milk
per day. This means that an acre of
corn put into the silo and an acre of

LAND SOLD CHEAP.
McMillans Disposed of All but
One of Thier Farms.

The Mcmillan land and cattle sale
ON Wednesday was notable one not
only because it introduced new way
of selling land in this county. but
because Col. Woods, the famous auc-
tioneer, was here and cried the
sale. Col. Woods is an orator as
well as an auctioneer, and the address
he gave in introducing the sale was
replete with pithy remarks. We can.
not give his whole speech but here are
a few samples =
"Two-thirds of the cattle in Min
nesota today are robbers -two-t thirds
are making you richer instead of
poorer.
"There isn't state in the west
where the same quality of land can be
bought at the price it can in Mime
sofa.
"Land without cattle is like liv-
cry stable without horses or a clock
without works.
"There never has been a better
fertilizer than barn manure. Every
time the old cow dungs. she make a
deposit in the bank for you. ~
But not even the colonel's efforts
could arouse much of contest among
the bidders. There was fair attend
ance of spectators, but the sale at
tracted only a few outside bidders,
while the home people said that the
land was sold cheap. they were not
disposed to bid.
Farm No. l. the south half and the
south half of the northeast quarter of
section 7, Horton, was sold to C.. H.
Everett. of Olivia, for $3.50 an
acre.
Farm No. g. the south half of Sec
tion 25, Synnes, was sold to Mr..
Casey. of Ransom, ILL.,. at S45 an
acre. Mr.. Casey also bought the
northwest quarter of SO in Synnes for
$33, the northeast quarter SO, Synnes,
for $34, and the northwest quarter of
section Il in Stevens for $33.
Farm No. 5, the northwest quarter
of section 16, Hodges, was sold to S.
A. Siverts at S39. so.
Farm No. 2, the north half of Sec
tion rs in Synnes, was not sold, as
there were no bidders, but was priced
at S45 an acre and withdrawn.
The thorobred Shorthorn cattle sold
in the neighborhood of $1O0 each and
a large number were bought by man

alfalfa made into hay will support a
COW 500 days, or it will require only
1877 acres of land to support a COW a
year on a ration composed of these
crops, while 1877 acres of blue grass
pasture will support a COW of the
same production only seventy-eight
, days, or about one-fifth as long. This
would indicate that on high priced
tillable land, where it is desired to
practice intensive methods, corn and
alfalfa should be largely grown, and
that the pasture acreage should be re.
duced to a minimum"
In Minnesota clover may take the
place of alfalfa, with probably very
nearly equal results.
A saving-mainly through the use
of the silo-of four-f1fths of the acre
age required for the support of
herd of cattle on blue grass pasture, is
certainly something extraordinary It
should jolt the sleepiest agriculturist
into instantaneous appreciation of the
silo as one of the foremost agencies
for the conservation of the resources
of the farm. @<.3 "%3G
1t is true that, in the greater part
of Minnesota land is still cheap, and
the need for economizing the acreage
occupied by the herd is not so acute
as on the higher priced lands in Illi-
nois or in. the neighborhood of the
Twin Cities. Also, the value of pas
turage in a rotation must be recog-
nized. But the. possession of abund-
ant room should not be made an ex-
casefor unnecessary waste; and should
not blind US to the fact that, wher-
ever herd of dozen or more cattle
is kept, the silo is a necessity today,
and will be even nors ofra necessity
% fresh economies are developed
from 1ts use. .e:s.~~. s.,r..

THE SILO.

versity Farm.


1t would seem that the place whicA
the silo is to fill in the economics of
the farm may be much larger than
most of us have heretofore imagined.
Farmers generally have looked upon
1t simply as a means of conserving
and increasing the feeding value of
green corn. But this is probably not
the only crop which can be profitably
converted into silage. An experiment
made by well known stockraiser

cLERGYMEN FIRE voLLEYs IN

LOOMS IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Chicago's anti-sa-

formally yesterday with laundering
denunciation Of the dramshop from
scores Of pulpits, special meetings in
the churches In the afternoon, and con-
ferences Of organization workers In
various parts of the city.
At every meeting place and in every

dry territory on the tickets at the
coming municipal election. The names
of $4,000 voters are necessary, and
the lists must be in the hands of the
election commissioners by Feb 8.

CONSERVATION Up
TO HIGH COURT
COLORADO CATTLE MANS AP-
PEAL DECLARES LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16.-An at.
tack on the conservation policies In.
augurated by the Roosevelt admins.
tration, more serious probably than
any made, will be contained In an ap.
peal next week to the supreme court
OF the United States to declare uncon'
stitutional the creation Of the big for
est reservations of the west.
The anti-conservationist have pre-.
pared to fight against the alleged In
dependence of the forest reservations
from the state laws on the theory
that the federal government in Great.
ing them holds the land merely, as q
big land proprietor, and not with any
peculiarities of sovereignty.
The fight has arisen from the at.
tempt Of the United States to enjoin
Fred Light, Colorado cattleman,
from allowing his cattle to trespass''
on the Holy Cross forest reserve.
Despite Lights claim. that the for.
nation of the reserve without the con-
sent of the state was In violation Of
the federal constitution, and that &C.
tion for trespass could not be main
tanned under the Colorado laws unless
the land had been fenced, the circuit
court issued the injunction. The case
WAS appealed.
+ Colorado also has Joined in the fight.
Attorney General John. T. Barnett
heads the attorneys for Light. Among
the attorneys are James H. Teller and
former Senator Henry M. Teller.
The question is asked as to what is
the legitimate end, within the scope OF
the constitution, which is to be sub
served by the system Of reserves. 1t
is contended the federal government
was not created to carry on such O
work, even the general welfare"
clause Of the constitution not being
broad enough to include this object.
Even If the power did exist, 1t is
argued, that it could not be exercised
without the consent of the states d.
rectly affected.

Everything is arranged and moth
ing left to worry about for the commit
tee in charge of the annual meeting
and banquet Of the Commercial asso-
citation which takes place In the
ArmOry tomorrow night, unless 1t is
that few hundred Ottumwans have
been somewhat careless about making
the return of their acceptances to the
secretary of the association. The need
for Immediate return of the accept
ances can be realized If one will but
consider how the committee Is to know
how many plates to provide for with
out some information as to the num-
Der Of persons to attend. This matter
has given the secretary and committee
considerable worry and is due to ne
glect more than anything else. Those
who have not already sent IN their ac-
ceptance or made answer to the secre-
tary must do SO by the morning mail
In order to make sure of place at the
festal board and participate in the
function about which so much interest
centers. While the committee sent out
severa& hundred of the circular letters
including ballots for the directors, per-
haps 200 have signifled their inten-
tentions regarding attendance and the
committee Is in quandary as to now
many plates to provide. Then. too,
there is bound to be some confusion
at the door among those who have de-
ferred until the last minute before
making up their mind to be present. A
note to Secretary J. N. Weidenfeller
of the association by the morning mail

VISITED BY
SUNDAY FIRE.
KING GARAGE AND JOHNSON
GROCERY WARE II OUSE DE-
STRoYED BY FLAMES; FIVE
AUTOMOBILES ARE BURNED UP.

Bloomfield, Jan. 16.-( (SpeciaD Fire,
caused by the explosion Of a gasoline
blow torch in Herbert Kings garage
yesterday destroyed the garage and
five automobiles and then spread TO
the warehouse of the Johnson grocery
adjoining. The loss on the garage and
the FIVE automobiles is $4,000, with no
insurance. The loss sustained by the
johnson Grocery company is $1,000,
covered by insurance.
Four Of the cars in the garage were
owned by Herbert King, the proprietor,
and three of them were new cars just
out Of the factory. The fifth car was
owned by w. j. Steckel, as was the
building. Mr.. King was alone in the
garage when his gasoline torch ex-
ploded. The blaze spread with such
rapidity that he barely had time to
escape with his own life, and was un-
able to attempt to run out the cars.
The Johnson grocery is brick build
ing, but the warehouse in the rear was
of frame construction. There were
three carloads of -four, carload of
feed and valuable queensware in this
warehouse. which burned like tinder,
despite the efforts Of the firemen. The
Bloomfield Telephone company sus-
tanned loss of $3.50 and the Mutual
Telephone company of $500 by dam
age to wires and cables. The B. F.
Shreve meat market was damaged to
the extent of $25, the barber shop OF
Frank Rogers $50 and the Odd Eel
lows lodge $50 by carrying out their
goods.
The f1renen did great work In pre-
venting the spread OF the flames. They
worked untiringly for two hours from
2 o'clock, when the fire started. Their
work was hampered by the ice and
sleet, but this also served to prevent
the spread Of the narles. II the build
ings had not been coated down with
sleet it is believed the entire north
side of the square would have been de-
stroyed.
