eral Law, Court Decides.

Milwaukee. March 4-William t. Rcddin

removed to Indiana for arraignment on the
governments charge OF completely In the
alleged dynamting conspiracy.
United States District Attorney Guy d.
Gon's application for their removal was
granted to-day I'm an opinion filed here by
Federal Judge A L. Sanborn. OF Wiscon-
sin, who took the ground that II these two
defendants had committed an offence Il
was committed In Indiana as well as in
Wisconsin The offence charged is the
shipment of dynamite or nitrogycerine in
interstate commerce in a conspiracy to vio-
late federal laws.
Judge Sanborn held that every shipment
by McManigal or Mcnamara was charge
able also to all the other defendants who
had then joined the conspiracy.
Reddn and Seiffert challenged the suffi-
cheney Of the Indictment I'm that II was
not explicit enough In presenting proofs
Of guilt. The court held however. that in
a case where secrecy is OF prime impor-
tance a grand jury is justified in not in
cooperating too specific statements I'm the
indictment.
The two men are officials of the Milwau-
kee Structural Iron Workers Union.

rested In this city on an indictment charg-
ing him with conspiracy in the "dynamlting

Cost of Corn Per Acre,

"The Missouri Corn Growers asso-
citation has perfected plans for CON
ducting an acre-yiold corn growing
contest, in order to stimulate a great.
cr pront, and to detormipe what moth
DDS of handling the crop will give the
best results said Professor c. b.
Hutchinson.
In general, the plan will be to al
low each man to grow his own corn
under any condition Of fertilization,
preparation of seedbcd, planting and
acer that may seem best to him.
I'm the fall his acre will be meas
ured, gathered and weighed. and put
into competition with all of the other
acres over the state.
In his way we expect to learn he
best way of growing corn In the vari-
Gus sections Of the state"

on the level ground. This improvised
affair was sixteen feet across and
twcwnty feet deep. After being dug
and plastcrcd with cement 1t was
filled with the stalks from twenty
acres of poor corn.
This slage lasted the farmers
stock Of twcnty-four head about six
months. while it fed out in tht com
mon way II would have been much
less valuable, and lasted only half as
long, There was no covering over
this hole in the ground, yet the sill

Proportion and Capacity.

If slage is to be fed with greatest
satisfaction, it must be sweet and In
perfect condition; 1t is spoiled by
coming in contact with air, therefore
the $40 should not be of too great
diameter. Not more than eight
square should be allowed for each
COW to be fed in winter. then when
feeding forty pounds Of silage per
COW, a layer about ~ inches deep
will be fed off daily. When feeding
in summer 1t is advisable that the ex-
posed area be not over half this size,
so that layer three inches deep
may be used daily. No silo should
be larger than twenty To twenty-five
feet In diameter, because distance
from the door increases labor of re-
moval. To be well proportioned, the
height of silo should not be more
than twice the diameter. No silo
should be less than thirty feed deep,
and to get sufficient depth for silo
not over twelve feet in diameter II
may be placed four or five feet In
the ground
