SllOs and Silage.

Some important advantages Of the
silo are that 1t permits the utilization
Of many green crops that would 9TH
erwire be wasted and the providing of
a green food in winter, or during a
season of drouth in summer. The
chemical process that occurs in the
silos during fermentation makes the
material more digestlble. This pro-
cess is supposed to be almost identical
with the change that takes place in
the first stomach of the cof. The ef-
feet is to break down the fiberous sub
stance and render it more soluble
The effect of feeding silage to milk
cows is the same as that of turning
them into green pasture. The silo
provides a cheap feed that can be
used with good results at any time Of
the. year; it prevents the sacrifice Of
young stock because of shortage of
feed; it ultil yes the corn stalks, takes
drudgery out of winter feeding and
one has only to make little investi-
cation to find the silo owneds well
satisfied with the plan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The ef
fort OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission 10 make all Of the pipe line
common carriers, is now before Pres
dent Tafts Commerce Court. II Il
hoped to have "A decision from tina
body before November 1st, to which
date the Commission has just extend
filing of pipe line rates and regula.
tions.
The original date was September
lst. 1t is confidently expected, how
| ever, that the case will be carried tO
the United States Supreme Court by
which every side loses as the points
at issue between the Commission and
the private pipe lines go back to the
fundamental question OF who controls
the highways, although these happen
to be different looking highways from
any heretofore before the higher
court
The decision Of the Commerce Court
Is being watched for with interest be-
cause of the public uproar against its
previous decisions and the impeach-
ment proceedings of one of its judges.
From either. progressive or conserva-
tive standpoint, the Integrity Of our
courts may be said to be prominent
for If the Commission wins then con-
servatives can say that "mpb rule"
prevailed and If the Commission
loses then "the fearless integrity of
our courts was maintained In the
face of the vaporings of the mob,'
which same mob now threatens to
deprive the court of its collective job.
Six pipe line companies-all of the
private" carriers-haVe filed COM
plants of appeal from the Com
missions order of June 3, requiring
them to act as common carriers, with
the Commerce Court, It's possible
that some Of the other lines may enter
complaints with the Court, not for
the purpose of combating the order
as to have a hand in any appeals that
may go up to the Supreme Court. The
Pure Oil lines, which have so far
been ostensible common carriers and
which are reported to be planning to
double their pipe line tariffs. have
not been heard from as to whether
they will carry their opposition fur
ther than the Commission or not.
The complaints entered SO far in
the Commerce Court are those of the
Standard Companies of New Jersey
and Louisiana, the Prairie Oil & Gas
Company, the Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany, which takes a pot shot at the
late II. II. Rogers and alleged rail-
road rate manipulation, the Ohio Oil
Company and the Tide Water Pipe
Company. Ltd These companies put
up substantially the same arguments
as they did in presenting the law of
the case before the Commission.
There are some rather marked gaps
in their recltations of company
histories. as the petition of the Tide
water which jumps the period and
details of its long fight with the
Standard interests to lay its line to
the seaboard and which neglects to
point out the reason why they had
to build their own refineries, that the
Standard bought up those the line was
built to supply and refused to take
their crude. This was back in the
days when those great leaders of
progress" who so rapidly developed
the machinery of the oil business"
could see no good in pipe lines.
The first complaint filed with the
Court was pf the Prairie OIL & Gas

/ Company. They set forth that they
are organized under thet laws of tho
State OF Kansas, with authority to
explore for, mine, produce, purchase,
store, sell and transport petroleum
oil, and to explore for, mine, pnoduce,
purchase. sell and transport natural
gas and that 1t has been engaged in
this business for the past ten years
during which time II has accumulated
stock of crude petroleum amount
ing to more than 10000, 600 barrels,
that they have acquired about 1888
producing wells, with an aggregate
production of approximately 1850
barrels per day.
Under contracts which they have
made from time to time with largo
producers of oil in the mid-continent
field they are Obliged to purchase APP
proximately 10000 barrels of crude
oil per day 1t also has market for
and outstanding contracts for the de-
livery of about 100,O barrels of
Ciuut petroleum per uHA.
This, Of course, necessitates the
storage of vast quantities of the crude
material, in order to be at all times
ready to meet the demands OF IAN
ever varying" trade, and for this pur-
pose they have made investments OF
millions of dollars in tankage and
pipe lines.
They set forth that their only in
come is derived from the sale of
crude oil, either from It's own wells,
or which it purchases from wells
owned by others, and this is. they
say, dependent not only upon the
market conditions" but upon their
ability to make sales of the crude
oil which 1t owns.
They allege that the mid-continent
oil Is of such a nature that It can
only be purchased In largo quantities
for immediate and future delivery,
and in order to meet the requirements
of prompt current and daily deliver
sess including pipe lines pumping sta
tions, delivery facilities. etc. are alb
solutely necessary for the continu-
ance of its own private business Also
because of its inability 10 deliver the
oils, in their crude conditions in the
exact varying conditions in which they
are pumped. 1t would be impossible
for this company to go into a COM
mon carrier business in which it is
calimed it would be required 10 re-
ceive and deliver oil of any particular
grade.
