though it has taken a long time

they are charging tnat his juvenile

out the purposes for which it was
established, and that it is not on

and that conditions are worse
than they ever were under the old
system. They advance the reason

Is productive of at least as much

Judge Lindsey has entirely failed
to live up TO his reputation as

Judge Lindsey on the other hand
declares that the campaign against
him is inspired by his political
enemies and is an effort of The
Beast'-just whatever that is-to
undo all the work he has accom-,
plished in times past This latter
charge is grossly out of place and
can hardly win many friends to the
Lindsey cause. Even to intimate
that the forces of immortality. pic

have made dupes of the women of
Denver, is to bring an accusation
against the latter that is astounding

stronger proof than the judges de-

or unjust to contend that they

tain community in the southern
part of Wisconsin a progressive
young farmer employed the local
carpenters to build for him a stave
silo fourteen feet in diameter and
twenty-six feet high. That fall he
filled the silo with corn, and that
winter fed his herd of twenty-five
dairy cows on a mixed grain ration.
clover hay and COIN silage. That
and the first experience that any
of the farmers had had with feed
ing silage. Speculation was rife
as to the effect of silage on the
health of the cattle and upon the
quality of the milk it would pro-
duce, some going SO far as to pre-
dict that the creamery would re-
fuse to take the milk produced by
silage-fed COWS. The winter pass
ed. however. without any caiamItous
results. and silage was established
with this farmer as q very valu-
able feed.
1t takes more than one winters
experience to convince u neighDor-
hood, and all farmers do not be-
come converted to any practice
At the same time. The growth of
the habit of siloing has been some-
what slow but it is as complete in
this community as was the transit
tion OF this region from wheat
and sheep growing section into
one of the richest dairy commu-
mites Of the Union. Many farm
ers hung on to wheat-raising for
a number of years after it had
clearly become a losing proposition.
The same was true CT the wool-rais-
ing business. But both have dis
appeared until today. upon ten
dairy farms including within the
community under discussion. there
10 not an acre OF wheat raised. anl
but one small flock of sheep.
-Four Years Of Incubation.
The ten farms already mentioned
have long since been devoted al
most exclusively to dairyine and
raising and feeding hogs. Today
there is probably an average of
thirty-five dairy cows on each Of
these ten adjoining farms. with a
maximum Of seventy and a mini
mum of about twenty. 1t takes an
enormous quantity of roughage to
feed this number of heavy-produc-
ing dairy cows In full flow of milk
during the winter months. Prior
to eight years ago clover and corn
stalks, with some timothy and
marsh hay. were the roughages fed
during the winter. clover being es
teemed most highly, while the
coarse marsh hay was valued only
as filler.
Then came the first silo. Its
popular verdict was rendered in its
favor. For four years it stood all
alone in that fertile countryside
during which time its merits and
demerits were discussed pro aud
con. The ever-increasing milk
checks paid the owner by the CO.
operative creamery. together with
the greater number of cows per
acre of land that the owner was
able to keep without being short
of roughage even in the dry years
when the hay crop was short, prov
ed a convincing argument, and dur
ing the fifth summer one more silo
was erected. The community be-
ing once thoroughly exposed. con-
tagion was indeed rapid. The period
ef incubation had been long, but
the whole neighborhood proved tol
be infected. On these ten adjoin-
ing farms, which one may pass In
a four-mibe drive there are ten
silos. All the owners emphaticai-

Richard Z. Cannon.

The American Coal Journal IN its
Christmas number is strongly boost
ing r. f. Cannon for appointment
by Governor Dunne as a member of
the new Utilities Board which comes
into existence tfre FIRST Of the year.
The Journal says:
"Rumors are coming from SPRING
field each day as to who the possible
members will be on the new Utilities
Board which comes into existence
the first Of the year.
Governor Dune has not yet an
nounced the members, and the coal
trade is an1iously awaiting to know
if the idusry viii be represented on
the board.
For several years the coal trade
has hoped that 1t would be reeog
nized on this Important commission,
which was formerly the Railroad
and Warehouse commission, and il
was thought that the present state
administration would recognize the
industry.
Tho coal industry in the state of
Illinois ranks the biggest and the
railroad traffic is far above any
other commodity. For this reason
coal men have thought c.ey were
entitled to representation on the
board
"A number of candidates were put
forward, all OF whom were exeep.
tionally good men, but the race has
simmered down to but one coal
mans candidate, which is r. r.
Cannon OF Cairo. The coal trade
has united on Mr.. Cannon, who is
president Of the ulinois-Wiseonsir
Coal association. ana who is one Of
the original Dunno men.
"fle is an old-time Democrat ant
has had much experience in utilitie.

Captain Alfred Brown, the first
swimmer to 80 the whole length of
the Panama canal came back to the
United States today. He said that
during the time he was in the water
he was caught again and again in
swift currents and whirlpools made
by the water flowing from the locks
on the> Atlantic side. and once his
legs became .entangled in the
branches Of a submerged tree in
Gatun Lake, and for moment he
thought he had been seized by an
octopus
Captain Brown satd that the ar
rangements for swimming the canal
were made possible by the Kindness
Of Colonel Goethals. in charge of the
zone.
1t was on the morning of Nov. 23
when the captain entered the water
OF Colon Harbor. The locks We're
hllcd and opened for him, and he
swan though, followed by motor
boat carrying attendants. On the
FIRST day he swan twenty-four miles
through the locks and Culebra Cut,
and, starting again Mt O'Clock on
the morning Of the 24th, he swan
from Gamboat TO Balboa on the Pa
cift.
He was in the water twenty-four
hours and forty-fye minutes, and
