FEEDING SIL&GE IN SUMMER
Missouri Expert Says 1t Is Cheaper
Than Blue Grass Pasture-Forma-
ton of Good Dairy Cow.

Dean Mumford of the Missouri col
lege of agriculture makes the state
ment that COWS can be maintained
more cheaply on silage than they can
be carried through the summer on
bluegrass pasture where the land
costs about 500 per acre and is suit
able for growing corn.
He says that there is very little
pasture land where a COW and a calf
can be pastured on less than one and
one-half acres, but it is entirely pos
sible to get twelve and one-half to
twenty tons of silage from one acre.
A COW and her calf can be carried
through the summer on two pounds
of clover hay and thirty-five pounds
of silage per day as well or better

Eaa..Eatina Habit.

Egg-eating is habit that starts
with hens, generally, that are out of
condition. In other words, when the
hen gets too fat and also when there
is scarcity Of lime in the bill of fare
the shells of the eggs become thin.
When being laid these soft-shelled
eggs usually break and the hen thus
acquires taste. It is always best to
gather the eggs several times day
SO that there will be no chance for
breakage by hens crowding on, the
nest or by newly laid egg striking
those already laid.

today. on the outside beach of Cape

The two men on beard the Oakland
managed to anchor their vessel off

northeast storm, refused to be taken

STREET SPACE FOR THE CHILL
DREN.
Plan to Rope Off Public Way for Re-
cess Playground.

There is a movement on foot in WASH
ington among those interested in the well
fare of the school children which bids
fair to solve. in many instances. the
problem of lack of playground during
their reeesses for the pupils of the pub
lie schoos-a problem which. owing to
the neglect of the school authorities OF
former years to provide sufficient space
for the greatly increased number of
scholars, has. in very many cases. be-
come a most serious one.
The solution OF the trouble, as provided
by the movement, is to appropriate a
certain portion of the street during the
recess time. At the outset the method OF
closing a public street against vehicles
for 10 or 10 minutes during the busy por-
ton of the day seemed impracticable.
but, on limiting the application only to
those schools that are not in a crowded
business section. and applying it spec
tally to those in the residence quarter
where. indeed most of the scholars ara
1t has been found that, as far as re-
moving any objections that can be raised
to the plan are concerned, the project is
feasible.
The proposed plan is to set aside q
block of the street roadway during the
recess time by means of ropes that can
be readily adjusted to poles set in the
curb in few seconds. The barrier could
thus be erected or removed by some OF
the older pupils almost instantly. It
would not extend across the sidewalk.
The matter of making to dwGlers with
in the inclosed area some compensation
was found readily adjustable by plan
of granting them certain privileges over
other blocks: thus a greater number OF
I street lights, more thorough police SUI
provision, the keeping of the sidewalk
and roadway in a special state of cleanli-
ness and the immediate removal by the
city of all snow. were found privileges for
which the residents would gladly put up
with the Inconvenience of crowd of chill
dren playing in the street-a condition
which, as several of the residents affect
ed declared. existed anyhow.
The only persons found to make any
decided objection to the plan have been
the retail dealers. who would find it in
convenient to have their delivery wagons
stop half a block from the customers
house and deliver their goods that far on
foot. But, as the engineer commissioner
for the District of Columbia pointed out,
1t is an easy matter to time the deliveries
in the block affected SO as to avoid the
recess times

Water Colors.

Bodies of water take on different
co!ors at different times. The intense
blue that is sometimes noticed is often
nothing more than the reflection of a
clear sky from the surface of brown
river water. But men that have stud
led the sea say that the water is blu
est when it is most salty. They say
that in such salty places as the Gulf of
Mexico and the Mediterranean sea the
blue is caused by the salty quality and
not in the northern oceans is green
rather than blue.
Ii you have ever visited a natato-
rum, where the water for swimming
is held in a great white tiled tank, you
must have noticed the color When the
surface of the water is untrouhled the
color is a deep green, except where
direct sunlight strikes it and turns it
to u brilliant Give. But let a swimmer
once disturbed the surface and send lit
tie waves ripping in every direction.
and the green disappears. to be replac-
ed by a blue like that of the sky. Yet
if you catch up some of this water in
your hand YOU will find that it is color
less.-The Argus.
