citation, is not being opposed by the
south end people because it is too
near Main street, and also because at
the point of its east approach are the

H street proposed location is objected
to because of the cost; the necessity
to purchase river bottom land, and
the Holzapfel cold storage plant, and
because the bridge would run in a

Valuable to Man Who Breeds Stock to Dairy.
man-SiIaSe Very Materially Decreases
Cost of Putting Pound of Beef
Onto Feeding Steer.

We have been laboring in season
and out of season to induce farmers
to build silos. The silo is no longer
an experiment. 1t has been used by
dairymen with success for thirty
years. 1t was for long time supposed
that 1t could only be used in dairying,
says the Wallace Farmer. We have
found out now that 1t is almost as val
liable to the man who grows stock as
to the man who milks cows. We are
finding out that silage very materially
decreases the cost Of putting a pound
of beef onto a feeding steer. We have
found out that 1t Is good for the eve,
for the brood sows, and for young
stock of all kinds as we'll as for dairy
cattle. The only animal on the place
to which 1t Is not safe to feed 1t Is the
horse; Just why we do not know. 1t is
perhaps entirely safe If of good quail
ity, but dangerous II moldy.
We are finding out still more about
silage, namely, that by using sum-
mer silo, one about half the size of the
winter one, we can bridge over the
droughts. which come in every coun-

Suppose you cannot fill one mans
silo before 1t is dry; you can easily
remedy that by putting in water. We
have done 1t and 1t works finely. You
can even take the corn that stands in
the field ready for husking and make
good silage out Of 1t If you put in
water enough; or you can plant some
sorghum and corn, and let the abun-
dance of moisture in the sorghum
make for the deficiency in the corn.
All these things are worth thinking
about. What we want to impress
upon your minds just now is that you
cannot afford not to build a silo II you
are in the stock business. You can
no more do without manure spread
er or grain drill. There are some
things that are we'll settled over most
of our territory. There are sections.

FRENCH MILK
POWDER PROCESS
Article Produced Found by AnaI1n
sis to Contain All Of Con-
stituents of MIR
Except Water.

The processes currently employed
for making milk powder are based
upon desiccation by heat. In pro
cess recently devised in France by Lee
comte and Lainville the action of cold
is substituted for that of heat. The
milk is poured into vessels similar to
those which are used for producing
blocks of artificial ice. and is cooled
to a few degrees below the freezing
point (about 28.5 deg. F.. Suitable
precautions are taken to prevent the
water of the milk from freezing in
solid mass and to cause 1t to assume
the form of fine snow. The CONCEALED
milk is then placed In a centrifugal
separator which revolves very rapidly.
The snow crystals remain in the mat
chine while the other parts OF the
milk are expelled in the form Of the
soft, greasy paste. which still con.
tains some water The desiccation is
completed by placing the paste in q
drying room heated to a moderate and
uniform temperature. The milk pow
der thus produced has been proved by
analysis to contain all OF the consti
tuents of the milk, except the water
in an unaltered condition. The pro
cess is equally applicable to whols
milk, and to milk deprived Of part OF
all OF its cream.
