WHERE sIL0 DOES ITS BEST

It is In the dairy that the silo does
It's best and most profitable work. It
furnishes a cheap. palatable food with
a high feeding value. Such food
produces a good flow OF rich milk.
which brings in the checks. Silage as
a milk producer compares favorably
with concentrated foods. More cows
can be kept on a given acreage where
ensilage is used than where land is
used for pasture purposes or crop
cured for hay or fodder
believe about IS pounds per day is
about the right amount of ensilage
for a dairy COW. Along with this six
or seven pounds Of ground grain. with
what clover or alfalfa hny they will
eat. should be fed. The grain Is oats.
barley and bran. writes c. ]. Grifing
In an exchange. Cows should be
MIXED and the milk removed from the
stable before ensilage Is fed. SO that
1t will not become tainted with the
odor.
After feeding the cows l gather up
bits which have fallen in the alley and
feed to the hens. They eat 1t we'll.
and believe 1t helps to take the place
Of green foods for summer. In order
to keep the cows In flesh and keep
up the milk flow during the winter
months 1t is necessary to feed liber-
ally on the side.
For this there is nothing more sat
isfactory than ensilage. Ensilage will
keep better II fed from small silo.
SO a deep layer can be removed from

DRY FARM POTATOES
Prof. Jardine Gives Results Of
Important Experiments.
II 10 Just Possible to Mako tho FaIiow
Add Something to Your Income.
the AsronomIst says-Thrse
Crops Make Money.

1t Is all very well for scientists to
study and delve and dig for the ulti,
mate salvation Of the farmer in the
dry land belt. but first tell him-and
do 1t Quickly-what to grow that will
bring In money. The sooner this is
done the sooner the farmers. consti.
tutionally skeptical. will respond.
THE farmer isn't concerned about
fertility" said Prof. w. NJ. Jardine
In the recent Dry Farming Congress at
Colorado Springs. What he wants
is living and he wants 1t now. We
must help him get It. Show him
how to do something now: tell him
how to feed his family. first. and then
he will be In position to take up and
study the problems we have discuss
ed. The thing to do for him Is to
show him how to store up every drop
Of moisture to grow crops and pro-
duce money. We can do that In short
order and with few words"
Before Professor Jardine's appoint
ment as head Of the agronomy depart
ment In the Kansas Agricultural COL
lege. he started exceedingly valuable
potato experiments for the United
States department Of agriculture In
the dry lands region. These expert
ments began three or four years ago
at three stations In North Dakota. at
Akron. Colo. and Nephi. Utah. About
25 varieties Of potatoes were used and
they were planted in every conceiv-
able way. In three years the returns
were from almost nothing to 800 bush
els an acre. On ave farms the yield
averaged 100 bushels. marketable.
Here. In brief, are Professor Jardine's
suggestions:
For seed. use selected tubers. hand
picked. II not too large plant single
tubcrs having only one or two eyes.
II large. cut In halves. Two eyes are
better than six in seed potatoes.
Plant in rows three feet apart. and
20 to "a inches In the rows. four
inches deep: subsoiling is fairly sat
Isfactory.
Use these varieties: Early Petosky.
Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio.
These varieties are not the largest
yielders. l admit" Professor Jardine
said. but they are the earliest and.
the most advisable because
the farmer may need the money"
why should not potatoes be good
crop to grow on fallow land-land
which. otherwise. would be idle for the
year? That's the question.
why not plant SO or 100 acres?"
Professor Jardine inquired. why
not. anyway. have crops two years in
three? Wouldn't many a dry land
farmer like to have 800 an acre from
his fallow? Wouldn't he be delighted
to get $50? Mind. now. l don't recon-
mend you to drop wheat In favor Of
potatoes. but here is q scheme that
may tide over many families while
they are waiting the result OF a scien-
tiflc test OF systems we advise"
Only three crops in the dry lands
are making money. Professor Jardine
declared: Wheat, milo and fax. Why
not add another and increase the in
come? The farmer who thinks he
will grow rich on one crop is much
mistaken. he said. Potatoes could be
planted in the low. waste places where
grain cannot be sowed. They would
prove to be the farmers friend.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The Diesel oil engine. now well
known whore large oil engines can be
used. differs from other internal com.
bustion motors In having no vaporizer.
no ignition devices. and In operating
without explosion. At the charging
stroke the engine draws In air only;
the next stroke congresses 1t to 500
pounds per square inch. raising the
temperature to about 1000 degrees.
then n jet OF oil IL forced In by air
ut still higher pressure, and the air In
the cylinder Is hot enough to cause
1t to burn at once. In place Of the
sudden explosion OF gas there Is sim.
ply the steady burning Of the oil as
long as 1t is injected. The engine
was designed for running on cheap
oils. and quite recently. since the Ger
man patents expired. even tar-oil has
been employed. One OF the tar.oil en-
gines is Of 4,000.horsepower. In the
last year or two the German expert
menters have gone still further and
have tried raw tar with such success
that early extensive use OF tar us q
motor fuel is predicted. The tests have
been made with n 1OO-horsepower en-
gine. using both thin gas-retort tar and
thick coke-oven tar. A small amount
OF light oil has been used to aid igni-
ton. but the engine has run on tar
alone. of widely different quality.
There was no fouling or Interruption.
The tar fuel is said to cost IS per
cent less than tar.oil. and less than
half as much as paraffin or kerosene

The important subject OF nutrition
mas received much attention. but 1t Is
a new suggestion that, besides correct
amounts OF protein, carbohydrate and
tat, the diet must contain minute
proportion of some mysterious sub
stance not yet understood. This idea
has been taken up by Professor Stepp
of Giessen, In a study OF the food Of
mice. On a dried mixture of rice and
new milk the mice grew and flour
ished. but after certain portions had
been dissolved out by alcohol and
ether. this food became SO unsuitable
that animals fed on 1t soon died. Some
thing essential to life had been ex-
tracted. The extract included fats.
but no improvement. and the addition
of mineral salts had no effect in pre-.
serving life. 1t was concluded that
the essential substance must be H.
poid present in milk but absent from
butter. The lipoids exist in the outer
protoplasmic layer OF cells, resemble
fats in solubility in alcohol, and usu-
ally contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
The theory was confirmed by adding
on extract OF dried buttermilk to the
treated food. the mice fed on the mix.
ture being in good condition ut the end
of six weeks. Some lipoids have been
isolated and tested. but the particular
one necessary to existence has not
been found.

Another Fatal Automobile
Accident.

While taking n load OF pas
sengers from the Monte Vista
Hotel to the l.. 81 N. depot,
about 8 o'clock Friday night,
G. G. Longs lG-passenger au-
tomobile overturned when il
struck q mud hole in q treach-
erous, narrow place in the road
near the depot, resulting in
slight Injuries to +. A. Kidd,
of Knoxville, Tenn, and Mr..
Long. and fatal injuries To
Joseph Amos, the colored por-
ter at the hotel who lived until
about . O'Clock Monday morn
ing. All of the passengers were
moro or less shaken up and
bruised.
The dummy was out of com
mission on account of a derail-
cd car blocking the track on
East Fifth street, hence the
auto was called into service
and had made one trip wi tn
trunks and returned for the
passengers W h o we're those

ger and Mrs. II. l.. Parks, of

ston. The place where the &C
cident occurred is generally
considered dangerous and we
learn that Mr.. Long, who was
going comparatively slow, pro-
badly s or 10 miles an hour
tried to regain the road but
could not and car slowed head
foremost over the bank where
it turned on its side pinning
Mr.. Kidd and the porter under
it. Mr.. Long, who is known as
n careful driver stayed at the
steering wheel until the car
quit rolling, and the other pas
sengers remained in the car ex-
cept Amos who. some think.
jumped, and in the direction of
rather than away from the
oyerturning car.
Amos was unconscious and
remained so until his death.
He was liked by his employer
because of his fnithfulness and
numbered among his friends
the travelling public and citizens
of Big Stone Gap, because of
his ability to scatter sunshine
and ut the same time keep in
darkies place. His remains
were prepared for burial by w.
w. Taylor and sons and sent to
Brooklyn, Ga, where his peo-
Pile live, for burial.

COINCIDENCE OR RETRlBUTION.

A report appears in the Post OF a

colleges which have football teams in
this section have protested against
the playing of the colored man,
Holmes, by Colorado College. 1t fur
ther states that business men have
offered purses to players on opposi-
tion teams to do injury to the colore1
man. 1t relates how this was done in
the game with the School of Mines
Now comes the death of School of
Mines player. 1t may be that it is
only a coincidence, but Providence
may have taken this means of retrib-
