Qiamatar of the Siio

The size Of the silo must Of course,
depend on the amount of stock to be
fed, as certain amount must be fed
each day to keep the top layer from
spelling. Narrow and deep is the right
construction, and the deeper the bet
ter, as each added foot gives added
weight to the silage and helps to make
1t more solid and exclude the air. To
insure long service wooden silos should
be lathed and plastered or bricked on
the inside. This keeps the silage from
coming in contact with the wood and
does not permit of that wetting and
drying which soon decay the wood.

and this is a very frequent error, one

Manaaemant of Bears.

The careless methods employed by
some breeders in their anagement Of
bOars accounts for a goodly part Of
the chad luck" in swine raising, says
Missouri hog raiser. Allowing the boar
to run with the herd is a common
practice that should be discontinued.
Following his animal instincts, the
boar soon saps away his vitality The
animal also warries other members of
the herd, especially the younger sows,
and he is even liable to cause serious
injury in such cases as well as get
some with pig at too early an age for
them to make suitable brood sows
Besides, his changeable moods make
him dangerous animal to have run
ming at large. Often one Of them sud
denly becomes vicious and turns on
the first person he encounters. The
tusks should be removed from the
boar's mouth early in his career in or
der to guard against all possible acci-
dents.
The only safe plan of managing the
boar is to have lot and quarters ex-
pressly for confning him in and fur
nishing him plenty of exercise and
sunlight. Thus managed he will re-
main quiet and tractable.

given her up to this time she should
produce exceptional results, says Dr.
D. Roberts, Wisconsin state veterina-
rian. Give her sufficient and proper
feed, as this will encourage the devel-
opment of a large udder. A swollen
udder after freshening would indicate
that she is a good COW, because it is
the large flow of milk which causes
the distention Of the udder 1t is at
this period that the average stock
owner is apt to err in allowing the
calf to nurse it's mother owing to the
fact that the calf has tendency while
nursing to butt the udder, thus caus-

WATER FOR CATTLE.
Drink Should Be Warmed In Winter to
Prevent ChiIls

Prevent Chills.
1t is important that the water drunk
by COWS giving three or more gallons
of milk daily be warmed to about go
degrees Otherwise the cows will not
drink as much as they need to keep up
good milk flow. 1t does not take
much ice water to chill thin feshed
COW through and through on cold
winter day. especially when she is
compelled to walk some distance
through the snow or cutting wind to
get to the pond. Experiments at the
Missouri station show that drinking
water is needed in proportion to the
milk yield. That is. COW giving six
gallons of milk a day needs about
twice as much water as one giving
three gallons If the water is too cold
to be, comforta Bile if drunk in large
quantities the COW will not drink
enough and as result will drop con-
siderably in her milk yield. When
Missouri Chief Josephine was giving
100 pounds of milk each day last win
ter she drank daily thirty-one gallons
of water. Imagine how she would have
suffered if that had been ice water! 1t
was warmed. however. and Josephine
did not chill after drinking A good
tank heater should be used this win
ter to warm the water for cows It

Legal Advertisements at Legal Rates.

We publish this week Congressman
Steenerson's speech in opposition to
Canadian reciprocity. While we dc
not agree with him in his conclusions
ure upon the agricultural interests of
this country, yet We do not blame him
for the position he takes. If the
reciprocity treaty will be ratified by
both countries, as now seems likely,
we believe it will prove blessing to
both. and that the harmful effects
now feared, will not materialze. Ma
tions have gone to war in order to ex'
tend their trade area and it would be
folly in our opinion not to embrace
the opportunity of securing closer
trade relations with our vigorous
neighbor to the north. The Ameri-
can and Canadian farmer should have
no quarrel they are brothers--en-
gagged in the noble occupation of pro-
ducing food for the worlds hungry.
If delegation of Canadian farmers
will come to visit the farmers of Min
nesota and North Dakota, now oppos-
ed to the treaty. we believe they
would soon settle the question to
their mutual satisfaction. But as We
said before, reciprocity is big Ques-
tion and, like the tariff, much can be
said on each side. The Sheaf wants
to see the question discussed from
all sides.

Kidding Stock of Lice.

For horses and cattle good remedy
for lice, according to the Orange Judd
Farmer, is made as follows: Boil for
an hour eight tablespoonfuls arsenic.
eight tablespoonfuls soda ash and six
teen tablespoonfuls soft soap in two
gallons water After being prepared
by boiling add enough water to make
two gallons. When cool wet the ami
NAL all over with a little of it, using a
brush or currycomb to get it into the
skin. Another good remedy is made of
boiling stavesacre seeds. one part to
twenty parts water. for an hour and
letting it simmer for another hour.
then adding water to make it up to the
original bulk. This applied to the af
fected parts brings quick relief.
1t is advisable to repeat the applica-
ton in a week or ten days. so as to
catch any new lice from any eggs that
were not caught by the first applica-
tiop. A very common treatment is Sc
cured by mixing a pint Of linseed Oil
eight tablespoonfuls oil of tar and
eight tablespoonfuls sulphur. This is
then rubbed on the affected parts once
day for two days and allowed to re-
main for few days. after which it is
washed off with soap and water In
serious cases the application should be
repeated within a week or so. OF
course any of the disinfecting fluids
on the market. used either as a spray
or wash, will do the work satisfac-
tOrily.

The use of alcohol as a beverage is
destructive and degenerating to the
human organism. It's effect upon the
cells and tissues of the body are de-
pressive, narcotic and anaesthetic.
Therefore, therapeutically, its use
should be limited and restricted in
the same way as the use of other pois-
onous drugs.
1t is necessary to surrender the old
idea, so widespread, that alcoho; in
small quantities has a food value;
that it's temperate use has any bene-
fit. The experience of the railroads
has led over 80 great railroads to for
bid the use of alcoholic beverages
among their employees. While the men
thought they were being fortified, ex-
perience proved the contrary Science
has supplemented experience by ac-
tual and accurate measurements. If
man drinks one glass of beer, the day
on which he drinks it his general eff
ticiency will be lowered on an average
of per cent. If he takes three
glasses of beer day, or the eqlliva-
lent in light wine, for 12 days, his ef-
Efficiency at the end of the 12 days
will be lowered from rs per cent to
20 per cent, depending upon the tenn
perature Of the man and the nature Of
the work. In doing mathematical
work, like bookkeeping, the loss Of
efficiency goes above the 40 per cent
limit: in memorizing the loss goes up
as high as 70 per cent : Thus the

Buried Miners Reached by Pipe.

Gilbert, Mimi, March IA. = Captain
Benny and three miners were en-
tombed $50 feet down in the Elba
mine at Elba location, just outside of
the village. Through an iron pipe
three inches in diameter air was trans
mitted to them and continued wrap
pings upon this pipe encouraged the
rescuing parties to believe that the
four might to reached.
Benny and his companions were
caught on the first level by a cavern
of ore and rock. The mass piled up
many feet high. There vas a fifth
man in the party and he just missed
being walled up. Although he escaped,
it was not without painful injuries.
He reached the shaft almost in q state
of collapse and told what had hap
pened.
In remarkably short time scores Of
miners were crowded about eager to
help in the work OF rescue. The very
first move was the driving through OF
the big iron pipe. which gave air to
the prisoners.
Almost instantly they began to tap
on the pipe. There were answering
taps from the mouth Of the level and
as rescuing parties Of eight to ten
men shoveled away hour after hour
the tapping from the four men was
kept up necessarily.
The rescue work was necessarily
slow but confidence was expressed
that the men would hold out. The
Elba mine employs about 200 men
when running full capacity. 1t is In
charge of Superintendent Chinn and
is owned by Pickands, Mather & Com
