in connection with pasture will
in the long run pay for itself in
increased milk flow very nearly
as we'll as will the same amount
of feed given in the winter. At
the same time, the increased
richness of the droppings, due to
such feeding, will greatly in
crease soil fertility.
On June pastures there is less
need for grain than at any other
season of the year. But as the
grass becomes less luxuriant and
the milk flow commences on its
big annual drop it is wise to con-
slider grain feeding on pastures.

Feeding Grain
On Pasture.

Feeding grain to dairy cows
on pasture does not pay. AT
least, that is what the average
farmer will tell you. In a way,
too, he is right, although not
completely so. 1t is almost the
universal experience that it is
impossible by feeding grain to
increase very largely at the time
the milk flow of a COW on good
pasture. Some of the expert
ment stations, however, have
found that feeding grain to cows
on pasture increased the milk
flow considerably. The Kansas
station found that this increase
amounted to as much as thirty
one per cent, while the New
York station determined that
each pound of grain fed produced
a pound of milk. But even with
such favorable results as these,
the increased milk flow was not
enough to pay for the grain.
Please do not stop reading at
this point, saying, "Oh, pshaw!
1 knew all this before" We
want you to consider another
point; one that causes many
careful dairymen often to feed
grain on pasture. Did you know
that the mich COW is something
like a storehouse. The way
that this point has bearing is
that grain which apparently pro-
duces little or no results in great
er milk flow at the time, may do
so later. Dairy experimenters
have proved that cows fed grain
on pasture will generally produce
better in the fall, winter, and
even the next summer.
We will not state a definite
conclusion to the whole matter,
but feel safe in saying that two
or three pounds of grain mix
ture rich in such feeds as bran.

Put QuietuS on Him.

Two men boarded at a certain
hotel. One of them worked ali

sat around. He wore good clothes
and paid his board, however
One day the man who worked
asked the other fellow:

of work, yet you have money and
pay your bills; you also go well
dressed; how do you do it?"
Here is the reply and we will

Experience With
SiIage,

Some time ago we asked ouI
readers who had actual expert
ence with silage to report that
experience for the benefit Of
those who have had none and
who contemplated putting UP
silos. We ask our readers to
study carefully the reports which
we publish from week to week.
Our theory has been that the
corn belt farmer who is engaged
in growing stock cattle or finish
ing steers for the market, can
not afford to be without a silo'
He should, in fact, have two, one
for winter and one for summer
The letters which we published
in our issue of April 21st afford
the most complete confirmation
of this theory.
We are particularly anxious
that our readers should make a
careful study of the advantages
of the summer silo. There is
not a year that we do not have
complaints (and only one here
and there reports to us) of the
falling off of cattle during the
dry spell which we usually have
from about the middle of July to
the first of September. They
tell us that their cows are failing
in milk, and that the steers are
not gaining in weight, and in
fact often losing. All this may
be avoided by the construction OF
a summer silo, filling it with
corn in the fall of the year, and
holding it to meet just these con-
ditionS.
Failing in milk or losing in
flesh is not the whole loss. Pas
lures, and especially blue grass
pastures, eaten down close dur
ing this hot, dry spell, will not
yield nearly as much the next
year as pastures which the far
mer is not tempted to pasture
close, because he has other feed
just as good Improperly balanced.
The silo is the best solution Of
the dairy proposition, of the
feeding proposition and of the
livestock growing proposition.
Having become satisfied that
it will pay you to construct a
silo, then take up the question
of size and kind to build; and do
it soon enough so that you can
do it economically and with the
maximum of proft.-Wallace's
Farmer.

New Kansas Laws.

The officers of Cherokee coun-
ty have received a copy of the
Kansas session laws of 1911.
The copy embraces 346 chapters.
Deputy County Attorney Schrei-
ner has been interested in look
ing through the new statutes.
There are three laws in the
book that especially will interest
three classes of men," he said.
That most interesting to the
lawyers is the one making wife
desertion a felony. This will
have a strong tendency to put a
stop to wife desertion. To my
mind it is one of the best laws
in the book.
THE civic lawyers are specially
interested in the new law pro-
viding compensation for work.
men injured in certain hazardous
industries, but you just want to
watch the politicians prick up
their ears when they read the
law governing the nomination
and election of United States
senators"
The new senatorial law pro-
vides that a candidate for the
state NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
or senator-must do one of three
things when filing his nomina-
ton papers, sign his name to an
agreement to vote for the candi-
date for senator receiving the
highest number of votes at the
primary preceding a senatorial
election, sign a statement that
he will not be governed by the
peoples choice, or decline to
sign anything. If he signs a
statement that he will vote for
the candidate receiving the high
est number of the peoples votes,
be he Democrat or Republican,
he is bound only in honor to
do so.
THE law places our prospect

A large number of the new
statutes became effective upon
publication in the official state
paper, while others were not eff
fective until the printing of the
entire volume.

and C'ara's small face at the window
watched her.
As she came into the hall she heard

she listened the feeling crept over her
that there was some strange revo-

She looked at his hat, his overcoat.

away.
She watched his shadow dance
across the tagging. and as it slipped
over the threshold she thought duly
that now the sapphire was gone every
one was going from her.
