Kansas City have been so strong
throughout the year that the territory
of competing markets has been invad-
ed TO an astonishing extent. Nebras-
ka shipped $4,000 hogs to Kansas
City In 1911, and $4,000 in 1910. That
is gain of 40 per cent in Nebraska

supremacy of Kansas City over Oma-
ha and st. Joseph in the matter of
hog prices. Missouri shipped $4,000
hogs to Kansas City in 1911, and $685.

Joseph and st. Louis, competitors
with Kansas City for the Missouri

in Kansas City In 1911 breaks all pre-
vious records by 100000 head.
In 1911 95 per cent of all the live
stock ralsers in Kansas City found

enroute from one part of the country

FEEDING SILAGE WITH GRAIN
Indiana Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion Asks Pertinent Question and
Makes Comment on Replies.

Purdue university Qndiana) agri-
cultural experiment station submitted
the following question among others TO
$500 Indiana farmers and feeders:
when feeding silage, what kind of
grain and roughage do you feed?"
The agricultural stations comment
on compilation of the replies received
is as follows:
''In answer to the above question It
was found that 80 per cent. of the
feeders using sorn silage depended
upon corn as. the main part of the
grain rotation. Ten per cent are
feeding either cottonseed or linseed
meal in addition to other grain with
silage. This, according to the results
secured at Purdue experiment station
in the winter of 1906-07, would indi-
cate that the advantage OF feeding
concentrated heterogeneous feed with a
ration composed of corn and corn sill
age is not generally appreciated as
much as 1t should be. 1t was found
that the addition of cottonseed meal
10 such ration resulted in an in
crease In value of six cents per bush
ell on corn fed over and above the cost
of concentrated feed. In other words,
1t proved to be a highly profitable in
vestment to feed a limited amount of
cottonseed meal with a ration COM
posed of shelled corn. corn silage and
clover.
"ln the purchase of commercial feed
ing stuff the fat content is of less i'm
portance than the protein content. Pro
tein is the necessary ingredient for

TO purchase, II is simply matter
of good business policy to be able to
go into the market and select the most
digestible protein for the least ex-
penditure of money"

WHERE SIL0 DOES ITS BEST
Most Profitable In Dairy Where II Fur
nishes Cheap, PalatabIe Food With
High Feeding Value.

II is in the dairy that the silo does
its best and most profitable work. It
furnishes a cheap, palatable food with
high feeding value. Such a 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 given acreage where
ensilage is used than where land is
used for pasture purposes or crop
cured for hay or fodder
believe about 35 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 hay they will
eat, should be fed The grain is oats,
barley and bran, writes C. ]. Griffing
in an exchange. Cows should be
milked and the milk removed from the
stable before ensilage is fed, so that
ii will not become tainted with the
odor.
After feeding the cows | gather up
bits which have fallen in the alley and
feed to the hens. They eat II well.
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 It 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 a small silo,
so deep layer can be removed from
the top each day. For fattening cat
tie ensilage is a very good food. but
If fed too literally will produce soft,
red beef. One and one-half bushels
daily is not too much for fattening
cattle.

DRY FARM POTATOES
Prof. jardine Gives Results of
Important Experiments.
II Is Just Possible to Make the Fallow
Add Something to Your Income,
the Agronomlst says-Three
Crops Make Money.

II 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, coRsti-
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 II 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
20 varieties of potatoes were used and
they were planted in every conceiv-
"a Wa In ha
were from almost nothing to 300 bush
els an acre on five farms the yield
averaged 100 bushels, marketable.
Here, in brief, are Professor Jardine's
suggestions:
For seed, use selected tubers, hand
picked. If not too large plant single
tubers 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
yieiutlA duinh., fTOleSSOI JdIullt
said, 1T they are the earliest and
therefore, the most advisable because
the farmer may need the money"
why should not potatoes be a 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, don't recon-
mend you to drop wheat in favor Of
potatoes. but here is scheme that
may tide over many families while
they are waiting the result of scien-
tific 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.

Turkish Account of the storming Of
Beirut Tells of Ubiquitous
Action

The Turkish Embassy gave out last
night its account Of the bombardment of
Beirut as follows:
"The Turkish authorities at Beirut re-
ceived, at twenty minutes of nine. on
the morning OF February "a. summons
TO surrender the two warships anchored
in the port. At precisely, o'clock the
bombardment was commenced, in conse-
quence OF which the corvette Avnillah'
was sunk. Then the fire was stopped for
q few moments. after which Il was re-
sumed under the pretext OF completely
sinking that part OF the ship which was
still floating.
THE projectiles fired during the bonn
bardment struck the Ottoman, the Ger
man. the Salonika, and Chakal banks:
the docks and whsrves. and a few private
commercial buildings. 1t is TO be pointed
out that the Municipal Hospital. on which
was hoisted the flag of the. Red Cres-
cent" and the Industrial school have
also been damaged. A projectile was
found at a distance of five kilometers.
toward the Labanon; that is to say, in
an entirely opposite direction from the
port Shots fell also in front OF the
American Hospital and the American
school.
The casualties resulting from the
bombardment of the city are fifty killed,
among whom Is one Russian. and fifty
eight wounded. The foreign consuls
praised the heroic resistance of the Turk
ish sailors and the efficiency OF the steps
taken by the local authorities to preserve
order.
1T is superiuous to mention here the
feelings OF indignation provoked by this
most iniquitous action of the Italians.
Martial law has been proclaimed. tran
guilty is now prevailing, and business
has been resumed. After the foregoing
official facts II is obvious to insist on
the falsity Of the report said to have
emanated from Constantinople and pub
lished by some American papers to the
effect that the city OF Beirut was not
bombarded by the Italians and that the
loss of life in that city should be attrib-
uted to massacres by the rioters In town"
