Major Gets WORKING Outfit.

Jefferson City.-So that Gov. Major
may not dodge road work ON Aug. 20
and II by putting up the claim that
he has not suitable clothes in which
to make his debut, the guests Of a
Liberty hotel sent the governor a
large pair Of corduroy trousers and
~dun-colored shirt. Barring the fact
that the trousers are large enough
about the waist for a man weighing
800, the suit fits him well, he says.
The governor weighs but 1875 pounds,
SO he believes the trousers and big
shirt accompanying them will not re.
strict his movements while he builds
road.

Helpful Hint.

A good way to avoid getting the
fingers inky, if one has a tendency
that way, is to save the fingers OF
discarded kid gloves and keep them
in the writing desk, slipping one over
the middle fingers and another, II
necessary, oyer the forefinger, when
sitting down to write. This often
saves time and annoyance when a
note has to be written Just before 60
ing out.

present time, with both farm lands
and feed high in price, conditions are
quite different.
When the ears of corn are husked
in the ordinary way, and the fodder
left in the field, from 60 to 10 per
cent of the food value of the corn
crop is taken with the ears, while 30
to 40 per CEN remains with the fod-
der. 1t is possible to utilize a small
portion of this fodder by turning cat
tie into the stock fields in the usual
manner But every farmer knows
that the benefits derived in this way
are comparatively small.
Size of SiIo to Build.
The size of the silo that should be
built will depend upon the number of
animals to be fed. As a rule, the mis-
take is made of building the silo too
large in diameter rather than too
small. The silo should be small
enough SO that the animals will con.
sumo a quantity each day equal to a
layer of at least two inches owe the
entire surface. Silage keeps better in
a deep silo than in a shallow one, be
cause it is more firmly packed and at
the same time more feed can be
stored in the same space.
Except with a very large herd 1t is
not advisable to build a silo more
than 16 feet in diameter. If more ca
pacity is desired, a second silo should
be constructed. AS a rule, the height
of a silo should be at least twice the
diameter.
After the silo is opened, silage
should be taken out regularly, other
wise that which is exposed to the all
at the surface will spoil in two OF
three days. The amount OF silage or
dinarily fed to a dairy cow Tor to q
mature beef animal of the same size)
is from 80 to 40 pounds per day. Feed
ing 80 pounds per day will require 9O(
pounds per month per animal, Oh
about 5A tons to feed each animal si1
months.
The figures below give a genera,
idea of the size of silo needed fol
herds of from 10 to SO COWS for 1S(
days feeding. 1t is assumed that Al
pounds will be fed per day to eacf
animal:

The silo enables the stockman to uti-
lie all of the corr crop instead of 65 per
cent.

more as one of our best short season and

The forms for building a concrete
silo cost about $50. For this reason
it is desirable for a number of farm
ers to club together and build the
forms. One set of forms may be used
for a number of silos, and in this way
the cost of construction can be re-
duced.

This may result in the formation of
white mould a the outer edge. This
condition, when present, indicates
that the concrete has been made too
porous. First of all, the concrete
should have been made richer in &C.
ment when built. The trouble may be
avoided in case the wall has been
made too porous by applying the &C.
ment and water mixture as described.
1t is also well, where the concrete has
been made too porous, to wet the
walls with water as the silage is being
put in, to prevent the absorption of
water from the silage.
Cost of Concrete Silo.
The cost will vary mare in differ
ent localities than will that of a stave
or Gurler silo, on account of differ
ence in the local supply of sand and
gravel. The approximate local cost
of the materials may be estimated

mate amount Of each material for the

This Evening to Retain
Spotless Record

What is likely 10 be the supreme
test or the ID. A. G. basketball rve is
scheduled for this evening at the
Moose Temple when the Deltas meet
the Hamilton "Y" team, undefeated
thus far on a Detroit court.
The Hamilton five Is recognized as
the champion team of Ontario. This
year 1t has victories over the best of
the Canadian teams and over the
Buffalo Germans to it's credit. II has
defeated. the Detroit "Y' twice in
home and home games.
The ID. A. c. bunch Of veterans has
failed to find much worthy competi-
tion yet this year. due partly to the
superiority of~the Deltas and partly
TO inability TO arrange suitable games.
Tonight, however. 1t looks as II IL
will have to 60 the limit to retain Its
spotless record.
The Deltas will line up with Boosey
at center: Walker and Gordon at for
wards, and Mazer and Miller at
guards.
