Walking down Whitehall yesterday att

ministers in operation. Mr. Asquith was
on his way from the house to Downing
street Only a few heads in the crowd
of pedestrians were turned as he passed.
But there were three very alec observers.
They were young men in lounge suits
and straw hats. They might have been
mistaken for country cousins. AS Mr.
Asauith sauntered along they kept about
forty or fifty yards behind him.. A curious
signaling with hands drew my attention.
Mr. Asquith was on the east side. just
in front of the Duke Of Buccieuchs house.
He had paused for break In the motor
traffic. Two of the young men slackened
their PAGES and signaled to the third,
who was behind
Mr. Asquith stepped on to the roadway.
At the same moment the third was also
of the curb and he and the minister
kept step across the street. The other
two followed at discreet distance.
Then. as Mr.. Asquith stepped into Down.

signals to other straw-hatted comrades

Inasmuch as the silo Is a new thing
IN this part of the country and wholly

Ing value for beef cattle, am daily
asked the question. what do you
think Of silage?
After having fed this feed for more
than three months, It appears to me
chat ensllage Is the cheapest and best
roughage for beef cattle that l have
yet found
A drove Of 1876 head Of good native
cattle were placed in the feed lot on
September 10, weighing an average of
1906 pounds. At the end Of 30 days
they were weighed and showed an
average weight of 1921 pounds--a
gain Of 1856 pounds per head The
cattle, of course, we're weighed into
the lot on a good shrink, and at the
end Of thirty days were full as ticks
when weighed, so that the I'LL" rep
resented a good part OF the gain.
Again on November 9 these cattle
were weighed and showed an average
Of 1921 pounds This hardly looked
satisfactory to me, though the hll'
former weight was taken. on the
whole. the first sixty days showed a
gain Of 226 pounds per head This
would give an actual gain in flesh Of
three pounds per head for each day
/ feeding, and still leaves forty-six
pounds to cover shrinkage at the time
the cattle we're weighed into the feed
lot. If this. is correct, the cattle have
done fully as WELL or better, than
any ! have ever fed.
One Of the great advantages in feed
Ing ensilage is that it makes an easy
task to get cattle on full feed Of grain
4 When the first feed Of ensilage was
placed in the feed troughs and the cat
tie turned in, to my surprise every
steer went right up and commenced
eating There was no learning how
about it. and two tons Of ensilage
daily was consumed without the slight
est III effects to any animal In th'
lot About a ton Of hay to the whole
bunch was fed daily in addition, anC
day by day the corn ration was in
creased and the ensilage and alfalfi
hay decreased, until at the end o
about two weeks found we wer'
feeding about a ton Of ensilage, abou
five or six hundred pounds of ha.
: and so bushels OF corn daily. In ad
S dition to this 400 pounds of cottol
seed meal was added daily by sprink
. ing il over the ensilage, and at thi
] writing, after rs days feeding, ! fin
that these cattle are consuming dali
for each animal. 23 pounds of shelle
corn, Is pounds Of ensilage 8 pound
Of cotton seed meal and about pound
! Of first cutting alfalfa hay, and the
r do not seem to care much for the ha!
Z either
O Here we have a ration Of about 4

hay In former years have fed

g while now with ensilage 1875 cattl
will only eat four or five hundre
pounds a day. and don't care much Il
it at that. believe am safe
r saying ensilage is a half cheaper tha
n alfalfa hay for roughage and equal
a as good, or better
