EXCELLENT FOR HORSE FEED
Pennsylvania Station Finds Sllaes
Good Ration, Economic In Char
acter and Wholesome.

Silage is an excellent ration for
horses, economic in character and
wholesome in use. The Pennsylvania
station gives the results of horse feed
I'M test where silage was compared
with hay and other forage.
"The horse fed silage AZ portion
Of their ration consumed less grain.
made their gains at q lesser cost per
pound, were sleeker and better nm
ished than those fed on rations not
containing sila8e."
In this test they noted that silage
could be fed in amounts varying from
five to twenty pounds per day. They
recommended silage free from mold
and made from corn fairly we'll ncar
tured. They also advised against
feeding horses large quantities Of
silage/ Especially after coming in from
heavy work when they are in q heated
condition.
The Michigan Experiment Station
has been feeding horses for many
years on silage and favors its use,
especially for horses not at heavy
work. In test made some years ago
with seven teams Of work horses, one
horse of each team was fed hay and
grain, while the other received small
amounts Of hay and grain with about
FIFTEEN pounds Of corn s1lage. These
teams were doing moderate work.
The experiment lasted twelve weeks
and the following results were noted:
The silage-fed horses showed an av-
erage gain Of Eve pounds per head.
Besides the increase in body weight
the driver noted that the silage fed
horses worked fully as well and did
not appear to be any softer than those
not receiving silage. The silage-fed
horses showed better finish and
sleeker coats.

WHITEWASH FOR HEN-H0USEs
Formula Given by Poultry Manager Of
Central Experiment Station at
Ottawa, Canada.

A. G. Gilbert, poultry manager Of the
Central Experiment Station at Ottawa,
Canada, says q durable and lasting
whitewash may be made as follows:
Put into q water-tight, clean barrel
half bushel of unslaked lime. Shake
the lime to a depth Of five inches.
Stir briskly until slaked. Add two
pounds Of sulphate Of zinc and two
pounds of salt dissolved in hot wa
ter.
These ingredients will prevent the
wash from cracking or peeling on. It
is better to apply the whitewash
while hot. II to be used for inside of
poultry-house, colony houses or coops,
add half an ounce Of carbolic acid.
To color the whitewash, add yellow
ochre, venetian red or any other de-
sired color.

history, captured fine specimen OF
beetle. On reaching home he, In a
moment of haste, pinned the beetle
to a library table with his diamond
scarfpin.
When he returned to the library
from his dinner, he found the captive

with the diamond pin glistening from
his back.
Man and bug made a rush for the
window at the same instant, says
Harper's Weekly. The beetle got
there first and triumphantly sailed
away, barely eluding the scientists
hand. Neither bug nor pin has since
been seen.

The Canal Builders
army.

Since the announcement of the early
completion of the Panama canal peo-
pie in the United States have been
very busy finding occupations for the
engineers who have worked in the
zone for the past few years and for
the men who have. become famous
there.
One proposal advanced which viii
appeal to the people of those states
contiguous to the Mississippi river
was the use of the machinery of the
canal in dredging out the "Father of
Waters" in an effort to prevent the
terrible floods which devastate the
Mississippi valley. 1t is pointed out
that only such gigantic equipment
can handle such a task and that it
will be decades perhaps before anoth-
ser such opportunity is offered the
United States.
Various other uses have been sug-
gested. The city Of Dayton, o., is
keenly desirous of securing the SER
vices of Colonel Goethals to direct t';e
replanning Of the city. Colonel Gorgas
will go to Africa, where he will intro
duce the methods which proved SO
successful in the canal zone in the
gold fields. There are many applica-
tio1s for Colonel Siebert and other en-
gineers who have distinguished them
selves in their work in the tropics.
1t is highly probable that Uncle
Sam will find some worthy task for al.
of them. Such men are never at loss
for the exercises of their talent and
and experience, and the world is full
of work for them.

which he participated, says:
Since the Southern Commercial CON
gress of Mobile was a distinct success
in nearly every way, one should be slow
in criticizing any little details and lack
of judgment on the part of the man
agement; but in order that mistakes
may be avoided in future 1t may be
we'll to point out the unwisdom of
charging an admission fee. This savors
so much of commercializing the organ
ization that the public is now disposed
to look with some degere of suspicion
upon another organization which comes
with announcement of great forces to
exploit the south as never before; and
il men of capacity are really in its en-
ploy, it means a very large expenditure
of money which eventually is to come
from the people whom it seeks to serve
And then. again, Birmingham had the
Alabama Land congress last month,
which gathered from all portions of the
state prominent men who gave such an
array of facts about Alabama as could
not fail to make a favorable impression
upon the general public, and we are
told that that gathering cost the citi-
zens of Birmingham mere pittance as
compared with the Mobile meeting
above referred to, and that organization
has been quietly at work perfectlng its
plans and interesting our own citizens
in the work of developing Alabama, un-
til it now presents really strong ar
ray of the most active men in the state
who are enlisted in the ranks of that
organization.
| 1t would seem that there are too
many organizations abroad which are
claiming the same general purposes and
| it would be better to concentrate on
one of these and make 1t worth while
for Alabama.
| The Alabama Land congress is COM
posed of our own people, they are in
terested in Alabama and not the
south" as whole, and they should be
able to handle every phase of work
that any organization can intelligently
and effectively perform, and it seems
that 1T should have the undivided sup
port of the people of Alabama
There is much in what that gentle
man says. 1t is reasonable to think
that one organization we'll officered
and made up of representative men
would be better from an Alabama
viewpoint than two or more associa-
tions. Concentration of effort is the
thing. 1t is what Alabama especially
needs.
