IT IS A MILD WINTER.
Mosquitoes in New York and Blue
Birds i'm Virginia.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Electric fans
buzzing in some Office luildings here,
MOSQUITOES in New York, a snowless
Vermont, blue birds and robins in
Virginia, apple trees budding in Mary
land, outdoor baseball practice in Phil
adelphia and dandelion picking in
many places are reported today, attest
ing to the unusually mild winter in the
east. Popular belief that yesterday
was one of the warmest January days
this city ever experienced, is borne
out by search of the weather records,
showing that yesterdays SO degrees is
the highest the thermometer has regis
tered for January H. since the wealth
er bureau was established 43 years
ago.
The Hudson river is being navigated
at a later date than at any time since
1870 when Robert Fulton was running
his steamer, Car of Neptune, between
New York and Albany as late as jan
uary 20. 1t is customary to close the
river for navigation December Is. Even
in Maine most of the lakes and rivers
are open, but the ice companies are
still expecting two weeks of zero
weather which is necessary to assure
good ice crop.

Rockefeller Receives Average of 500
Letters Daily.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-A clearing
house for begging letters sent TO
philanthropists would be one of the
adjuncts of the s10O.0O0,00O Rookie
Teller foundation, federal charter
for which congress on Monday will be
asked to grant according to Jerome
D. Greene, former secretary of Har-
ward university, and now an adviser of
the Standard Oil magnate. Mr..
Greene is here seeking to have con-
gress at this session incorporate the
organization which John d. Rookie
Teller is anxious to endow.
Mr.. Rockefeller alone receives an
average of 500 begging letters every
day." said Mr.. Greene today. They
ask financial aid in sums ranging
from SIS to amounts in seven figures.
Under present conditions it is ut
terly impossible for Mr. Rockefeller
even with the assistance of a large
staff, personally to give attention to
this volume of correspondence and
doubtless many worthy objects Of
philanthropy have gone without the
financial support they sought

The variety of the work undertaken
by the General Federation of woman's

terests. The industrial and social con-
ditions department has for it's new
head, Mrs. A. E. Chantler of Tacoma,
Wash, a former teacher; and later a
Newspaper woman. A year ago she
was appointed assistant state labor
commissioner for the state of Wash
ington. Her department is especially
interested in the question of a living
wage for women and girls. Admitting
that the low wages paid them is in
some cases due in part to inefficiency,
it is greed that is chiefly responsible,
and whatever the cause, it is a menace,
and society must find a remedy. The

no young woman, m the joy of

THE SILO MAKES BIG BEEF
PROFITS.

Messrs. Skinner and King of the
Indiana Agricultural Experiment
Station give the results of a steer
feeding test where the value of corn
silage, as a fattening ration was test
ed.
The following conclusions are
taken from Bulletin No. 116-read
them.
1. The addition of corn silage
once daily to ration of shelled corn,
cotton seed meal, and clover hay, re-
duced the cost $183 for each hun
dred pounds of gains and increased
the total profit $685. per steer.
2. The addition of corn silage
twice daily to a ration of shelled
corn, cotton seed meal, and clover
hay, reduced the cost $3.17 for each
hundred pounds of gain and increas-
ed total profits $11.19 per steer.
3. The substitution of corn silage
for clover hay in ration of shelled
corn, cotton seed meal and clover hay
reduced the cost $435 for each
hundred pounds of gain and in
creased the profits $17.97 per steer.
4. The more nearly corn silage
replaces the clover hay in the ra-
tion, the cheaper was the gain and
the greater the profit.
S. Corn suage produced a very
rapid finish on fhe cattle.
6. The silage used in this trial
contained an unusually high per
cent of dry matter and was, judging
from previocs experience, more effic-
lent for fattening cattle than silage
containing higher per cent of
moisture.
z. A ration of shelled corn, cot
ton seed meal, oat straw, and corn
silage (twice daily proved to be as
efficient for fattening cattle as a
ration of shelled corn. cotton seed
meal, clover hay and corn silage
(twice daily.
