slLAGE g

At q farmers institute not loGs ago
the question was asked: How many
housewives have silos? You can very
easily guess the nature of the replies
to this question, for none of those
present had much of an idea what a
silo really is. After short explana-
tion 1t was agreed that nearly every
one present In reality had silo of
some kind. Some of these were used
FOR saving fruits, corn, and others for
preserving cabbage for future use.
We don't really speak OF these as
silos, but the effect on the saving Of
these beds when placed IN Jars is the
same as 1t Is with corn when stored
in the silo; I'm other words, silage Is
green corn preserved by storing in an
air-tight structure.
There probably are very few farmer
boys that do not remember some rainy
day or evening when all hands got
busy preparing the cabbage to fill the
kraut jar. Probably no Thought was
given the" subject Because, II was a
yearly task. and no one realized that
in effect the saving Of the cabbage by
making it into kraut is the same as
making corn silaSe. 1t undoubtedly
served good purpose in keeping the
family in healthy condition during
the winter months when other green
food was not available. The same is
true Of silage, which affords a succu
lent and nourishing feed for the live
stock
There may. be question as to
whether all stock will eat the sour corn
silage, but give them chance and this
thought will be quickly dispelled for
all stock eat silage very greedily, and
the returns in the form of milk and
meat Will amply pay for all the trouble
and expense.

The demand Or the times is for i'm
provement along every line; for build,
ing better roads, better homes, church.

ter equipment on our farms and in

ters must have expensive educations

Telephones, rural deliveries of mail, H.

Ii Is the desire of every parent to ed
ucate the children at colleges or good

Apparently the key to agricultural
improvement in the south is more
power and labor-saving farm imple-
ments on the farm. The average farm
worker tolls with small mule or
horse and his total annual income is
| about Sl4S.00. In Iowa the average
farm worker uses nearly four large
horses and produces $611.11 annually
exclusive of stock Investigators show
a much smaller use OF power on the
southern farms than in other sections
or the country, and, consequently less
use OF labor-saving farm implements
and correspondingly lover earning
capacity of the farmers.
The power must come first and then
thei labor-saving implements. Every
farmer in the south can easily 1aise
the necessary horses. Ee can better
afford to buy extra horses thar to at
tempt to farm with one CT two small
mules. BY the use oe strong teams
and labor-saving implements, the
wages OF one, and sometimes two men,
can be saved, and this will soon ray
for an extra animal: However every
farmer should raise his own horses.

as are largely used, and the colts

One of the most important arrests

poets of the murder Of Alphonse Flor

der, says that on the Monday follow
ing the crime, she saw three women
and two children, waiting at the cor

Supreme Court Holds That Decree
Of Dissolution Shall

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.--The su-
preme court OF the United States to-
day upheld the decree of dissolution
against the Standard Sanitary Mfg.
Co., and allied concerns, known as the
bath tub trust" decided by the fed
eral court Of Maryland The trust
bination in restraint of trade despite
It's contention that the decree was an
invasion OF it's patent rights.
The decision was regarded by gov
eminent trust busters as one OF the
most important since the Standard
Oil decree. In the so-called patent
monopoly" decision last year, the
court held that the owner of patent
might dictate the terms under which
the patented article could be sold 1t
had been feared that the court might
apply this reasoning to the Sherman
law and prevent the government from
attacking any OF the trusts which con
trolled big patents. The decision,
however, was sweeping denial OF
such a view. The entire case hinges
OF the right Of the owner of patent
ed article to make such use OF 1t as
to create monopoly in the manufac-
ture and sale OF another unpatented
article.
/. was on November 81, 1911, thar
the Maryland federal court sustained
the governments contention that the
Standard Sanitary Company and
twelve other allied concerns and .
number Of individuals were guilty Of
monopoly of trade. The defendant:
appealed on the grounds that thei'
patent rights were invaded by thu
dissolution decree.
4 In affirming the decree Of the lower
court that the trusts manufacturers
and jobbers license agreements by
which 1t fixed uniform prices and
mode Of sale of enameled ware art.
cles. were unlawful the supreme
court declared that the defendants
ownership OF the patent on tool. die
not justify them in conducting mo
l'nopoly in trade. Whether the patent
ed .ool figured in the case or not, the
court held they were violating thu
antitrust law.
