Consider the SiIO.

We hope that while our read
ers are running the planter they
will think seriously about what
they will do with the crop, in
case the seed has sufficient ger.
mination. Will he use his corn
as grain or as fodder or as silage?
This is a simple problem with
the renter who has no stock and
who is farming simply for a
share of the grain, particularly
if he rents on a one-year lease.
1t presents a different problem
to the man who has adopted a
rotation and is growing more or
less stock. There is no permau-
ence to any system of farming
which does not involve a rota-
ton; and by a rotation we mean
not merely a change from corn
to oats or wheat, and then to
corn, but a rotation that gives a
large place to grass and espec-
tally to legumes. This involves
some kind of live stock to use the
grass and roughage of the farm.
We ask this class of farmers
and may their numbers increase
until they are not merely a ma
jority but the whole of the far
merS of the middle West-to con-
slider the silo, whether they are
dairying or growing young stock
or finishing steers for the mar
ket. 1t has been assumed for a
long time that the silo is a good
thing for the dairyman. We
now find that it is quite as good
4 thing for the man who is grow
ing young cattle or feeding
sheep, and we are now beginning
to learn that it is a most excel
lent thing for cattle feeders. In
fact, we are finding out that he
cannot feed economically without
it.
The old custom of buying, two,
three and four-year-old steers
from the ranges and finishing
them out with corn, with hogs to
follow, has gone out never to re-
turn. To begin with, we can
not get the steers on account of
the breaking up of the range and
the diminishing numbers of the
feeders we secure from there from
year to year. We have a good |
deal of rough land in the United |
States, fit only for grazing; but |
this will not supply the wants of
the feeders of the corn-States.
AS a matter of fact we have
been throwing away a great
deal of our feed all these years,
simply because we could do it
and still make a little money;
but the time is coming now when
we must feed on a different plan.
We must approximate the meth
DDS of English feeders, fattening
our live stock with less high
priced corn. We cannot get the
cattle in sufficient numbers; and
corn is too high priced, and will
be as a rule for years'to come, to
Justify us in throwing away half
its value. Neither can we throw
away the value OF our corn fod-
der as We have done in the past.
We must utilize the whole crop.
The best way Of utilizing part
of it at least is in the silo, and
the rest probably in the shape Of
fodder. feeding it with the eoIn.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1912-05-30

or shredding and feeding it with
out the corn. 1t has been pretty
thoroughly demonstrated at the
experiment stations that silage
furnishes the cheapest method OF
fattening cattle for the market,
not for the whole fattening per-
iod, for in the last stages the
steer cannot hold enough of it,
but for the first three months,
finishing out with corn and cot
tonseed or oil meal. The differ:
ent stations have been expert
menting for two or three years,
and we have from time to time
given the results of this expert
mentation.
The Iowa Experiment Station
has recently sold Nebraska cattle
after five months feeding as
high as $500, which gave a net
profit of S17.27 to $3.50 per
steer. The silage fed steers
made a gain of 8 pounds a day
the first three months and ID to
"a pounds a day for the five
months feed. Other states, no.
tably Indians, tell the same story,
one experiment corroborating an
other under different conditions.
Therefore, if you are going to
feed cattle next year, get a silo.
Think about it while you are
planting your corn; and if you
have already made up your mind
to it, plant your corn a little
thicker than usual; for you are
after not grain but total feed.
Then, having determined on a
silo, don't let any grass grow
under your feet before determin-
ing what sized silo you will build,
and in making your purchases
and preparing for the foundation.
Just here the inexperienced man
is likely to make a mistake. He
will build a silo too large for the
amount of cattle he has. He
will perhaps be satisfied with one
silo. Don't be satisfied with one;
build two, the size depending on
the amount of live stock you
have to feed. If you don't need
all the silage in the second one,
keep it for a dry time next sum-
mer. The men who had silage
last summer were indifferent to
the drouth. The cattle did just
as we'll on silage as on grass, and
even better. because they could
be kept in the barn in the dark
in the daytime, and the flies did
not bother them.
If you have made up your mind
to get a silo, take the matter up
with your nearest neighbor and
get him into the same notion.
Buy your silos together, cooper
ate in buying your silage ma
chinery, and save money on the
investment-for the biggest in
vestment is not the silo, but the
machinery to fill it-and what is
quite as important, thus secure
help in filling the silo and save
your wife a lot of work.
We could not. get along on our
farms without silos. We do not
believe anybody else can get
along right without them, if he
is handling cattle. Write US how
many cattle you intend to feed or
keep over winter, and we will ad.
wise you as to the size of silo you
should build, and probably save
you money.-Wallace's Farmer.

What the Facts Prove.
Ubot ore fhe factSl

NOW, " llOl dlS tue lNNNo
The hard times began back in
1880, right after the Republican high
tariff. known rs the Mckinley tariff
went into effect Grover Cleveland
the last Democratic president. was
elected in 1892 The panic came ON IN
1858. not rs a resnit OF Cieveland'si
election. but as result OF cOndiuonsl
that had been growing steadily worsei
under Republican rule. The panic was
over before the Democratic tariff bill
WAS passed in 1894. and after that
prosperity began 20 return.
Now let us make a fair comparison
of these railroad figures.
In 1898. under the Republican high
tariff. ana with the panic on. there
were S73.GO2 railroad men employed
or 80 per 100 miles.
IN 1894. part high tariff and part low
tariff. the number fell to 779.60S. or
Al for 100 miles decrease II per JOG
miles.
From this year on. so long as the
Democratic administration was in pow
or. conditions improved steadily.
In 1875 the total number OF railroad
] men at work was increased to 7S5.O34.
In 1896 it was S26,620.
In 1897 Mckinley came into the pres
idency, and the Republicans set about
to redeem the country" with high
tariff. AND IN 1897 THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF RAILROAD EMPLOY
EES FELL OFF TO S23.476
Republican Panic of 1907.
Then in the fall of 1907 there was
another panic under the Roosevelt ad
minlstration and under a Republica<
high tariff Were the railroad mel
protected from loss OF jobs? Scarce
~! The next year, 1905, the ngmbe
Of railroad employees fell of b!
235, 100, a decrease Of 1l2 per lO'
miles against II per 100 miles In 1894
the year when the results Of the pani
OF 1893 were felt most severely.
So what IS the use Of trying to max
fools OF railroad men or of any othe
Americans by distorting 6gures7 tn
truth Is that these fluctuations wer
not due 20 high tariff or low tariff.

Nevertheless It's exactly that much
more paid 20 the railroad employees
of the United States under the aosAlh-
istration of President Taft in 1910 than
was paid in 1867. the year Detore MI
Taft became president
This is a sample of the old time Re
publican habit of claiming credit for
all natural progress-credN even for
good crops.
It is true that in 1910 the wages Oh
railroad employees amounted to some
ST.. 600, 900 more than in 1901
But that represented three years
progress.
In 1906 the amount paid to railroad
EMPLOYEES was 5000, 9o1, 1853. In 1907
It was S1,O72. $50, 427. This was an IN
crease of Sill, 5S4,774 in a single year
preceding the Taft administration
amounting to more than double the II
crease during three years Of the Tar
administration.

In four years preceding Tafts az

were sold under foreclosure. TIL

Under three years of the Taft a6

The Tariff Hurbue Again.
A still more palpable presumption
Republicans that railroad men a

The total number OF railway en-

The total number Of railway en-
