PEANUT RATE
TO Be FOUGHT
Some Of the Railroads Consider the
Rate Ordered by Commits
sion Too Low.

jackson, Miss, April Some of
the railroads of the state are going to
fight the rate on peanuts ordered by
the railroad commission at the last
meeting. They considere this rate too
low. and some of the roads has, thus
far, indicated that the rate will be
put in force. The rate was to become
effective Tuesday but no tariff has
been issued by any road, while it is
known the Illinois Central officers re-
gard it as too low.
This probably means the Illinois
Central will be one of the roads tC
oppose the new rate. The first rate
ordered by the commission would have
been accepted by the roads, but wher
the case was opened for rehearinl
nearly every road in the state oppose
a further reduction, and it is believed
most of the roads will appeal to tn
court in an effort to set aside the o.
der of the commission on this product

Undoubtedly the largest field that

offered the oil mills to keep their

The big, roomy sofa upholstered in

The little old organ so wheezy Oh

hung at the windows,
The round braided rug that was laid

The album, the vases, the white cotton

And the breadths of rag carpet that
covered the floor
The gaily-striped carpet, the old-fash-
toned carpet,
The cherished rag carpet that COW
cred the floor.
1t was woven not only of linen and

But with fragments of sorrow anc
Joy and romance;
The lavender silk that was worn TO

The figured delaine of a maiden

A baby's pink frock and the weeds O
a widow,
The blue of the coat that a soldle
boy wore.

The good honest carpet, the plan

PORTLAND, Oregon, February 81
The transformation of wilderness
into garden is planned for Western
Washington and Oregon no less
wonderful than the miracle wrought
by irrigation east of the Cascades.
This is the solution of the logged-off
land problem that now seems in
sight. To the Southwest Washington
Development Association must be
given the credit for carrying this
movement forward until it has reach
ed a point where successful clearing
of large areas OF stump lands at low
cost is successfully accomplished.
At the convention of the associa-
ton, held the past week at Vancouver,
the method of operation was shown
and plans for the future discussed.
Prof. Sparks, of the State College, at
Pullman, showed by actual demonstra-
ton how land may be cleared of
stumps and roots with a minimum of
money and effort and at the -cCnven-
ton sessions, prominent delegates
outlined a plan for pooling large
stump land areas and making fertile
farms out of now almost worthless
land.
The organization of big company
to handle the land, clearing it and
placing it on the market in small
tracts for the farmer, was forecasted.
1t was suggested that money be raised
for the work by bonding the land.

The Silo for Dairymen.

This is the time of year when the
dairyman or dairy farmers, who owns
a silo likes to talk about siIage. Good
silage comes as near being June
pasture in January, as any feed with
which the dairyman is familiar. Its
succulent or juicy feed nature espe-
cially fit for stimulating the milk
flo W, and keeping the COW in vigorous
health.
Probably the most important rule
in the profitable dairy is to keep the
COWS milk flowing as freely as possible
after the flow has once been started
by parturition or calf-birth. To do
this demands right feeding and good
care. Silage is almost necessary to
right feeding. Silage is a cheap feed
to put up. and valuable to use. 1t is
grown on the farm. This fact is of
impor lance in this day of high priced
mill feeds.
Read what few Missouri dairymen
have recently said about silos and
silage.
Messrs. j. R. White & Son near
Aurora, Missouri say: ave consider
sllage one of the best feeds we ev ar
used to keep up the milk flow in
winter Since we began feeding silage
we have never had COW off feed and
we are feeding COW all she will eat
Mr.. John Hosmer, proprietor of the
well-known Hosmer farm near Marsh
field, Missouri has this to say: ''Have
a silo by all means. If intending to
get into the dairy business and don't
plan a silo, stay out. If dairying and
are not figuring on silo, get out.
For in either case, the modern dairy
methods of the fellow who has and
uses the silo will put you OUT
Shepard Brothers, of HughesviIle,
Missouri say this: "a silo is one of
the very best things a man can invest
his money in if he is in the dairy
business. You can get more feed for
less money out of silo than any other
way we know Of. -
Hon. p. P. Lewis, Crescent, Mis-
souri, recently said: 81 have used
silage continuously for the past six
years and am thoroughly convinced
that it is not only the cheapest feed
a farmer can produce but because of
its succulence, is great help in the

COW HAS RINGWORM.


Ouestion-We are readers OF the
naper "The Ranch" and would like
to ask a question regarding a young
beifer we have. The hair is coming
off in spots about as large as dollar,
and there seems to be red scaly scab
on the skin; she rubs herself as though
it itches, and the spots are getting
larger. Is this a ntagions Infection?
What can | do to remedy 1t!
Answer-From the description you
have given, it seems that the cow is
affected with ringworm. 1t is con-
tagious disease and l would advise
you to keep the cow isolated until you
could have her inspected by a veteri
marian.
A FREAK COW.
Question Will you please give this
space in The Ranch? I have heifer
that is somewhat of "freak of nat
ure, " she has a tail like a horse; but
what interests me most is that SIZE
will soon freshen, and only one side
of her udder rs developing. What
can l do to make the other side de-
velop? A. V. R. Colby, Wash.
Answer-We very frequently find
COWS that have only three good
quarters, and less frequently where
one-half of the udder is undeveloped.
In many of these cases it is possible
to stimulate the secreting function by
manipulating the udder, but since in
your case the COW is as you say a
"freak, - doubt very much il any
thing can be done.
DOES NOT EAT ALFALFA CLEAN
Question-We have valuable COW
that does not eaC the alfalfa up clean,
she merely eats the leaves, l am dis
appointed to have all the stalks vast
ed. Ought the COW to eat it up clean
as she does the clover? Could feed
cutter be used to advantage in cut
ting up the alfalfa? L. c., Hanford.
WASH
COWS that will eat only the leaves
from the dry alfalfa plant, but think
possibly there is something wrong
with their teeth when this is the case
1t is hard to find a much better rough
age than alfalfa for dairy COW, and
ii she is in good condition she ought
to eat it uD as clean as she would
clover. 1t is advisable sometimes to
run your alfalfa through feed cutter,
but it isn't necessary unless you have
coarse woody stem.
Question Could you please inform
me the required temperature and
