 No More Honk-Honk Horns in Wis conSin.
 Wisconsin has indirectly put the ban on bulb horns, it's new law providing
 that every automobile must be provid ed with a, signal capable of producing an abrupt sound loud enough to serve as an adeqate signal of danger. Ac- cording to J. T. Drought, president of
 the Wisconsin State Automobile As sociation, this means that at present many if not all hand bulb horns are I in violation of the law not making a loud enough signal or one of the prop CT character. Drought thinks that in

 Adds Peroxide to Kerosene Many experiments are being con ducted by automobile engineers just now with view of finding a, substi- tute for gasoline, and any new idea. is eagerly looked for by motorists, who
 realize that the efblood of the motor is continually soaring in price. The newest idea for fuels, or rather a fuel treated in a new way, is peroxidized kerosene, with which experiments have been made with good results by George B. Seldon, of Rochester, N. Y. Seldon's fuel consists of kerosene treated with peroxide of hydrogen,
 and the statement is made that the process can be carried out for little
 more than the bare cost of handling the kerosene. This would seem effec- tua1ly to settle the price question. Sel-
 den is confident that he has evolved a gasoline substitute that will cut in half the present cost of automobile fuel. In describing his work in de- veIoping the new fuel Seldon says:

he will take advantage of it. A hog

Last winter, at Automobile Show
season, the fact that Goodyear did

commented on in the trade as a note

the management of the exposition has
offered no substitute for the site that
has been set aside. A. F. Heide, of

SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS.

By Prof. A. B. Nystrom, Head of
Division of Dairying, State College
of Washington.
Dairymen everywhere recognize the
importance of feeding their COWS
some sort of succulence all the year
round iii isn't pasture, it is some
soiling crop, roots or silage. AS
matter of fact it doesn't make great
deal of difference which one OF these
is used except in so far as the yield
of digestible nutriments is concerned,
and by that is meant that pound OF
digestible protein in one succulent
feed will serve practically the same
purpose when fed in some other sue
culent feed.
Silage is nothing more nor less than
preserved green feed. Almost any of
our field crops have been preserved
successfully in the silo. Sioling is
one way and practically the only way
of preserving all the feeding value OF
any green crop until such time as it
may be fed to the greatest advantage.
In curing a crop of hay about 30 to
so per cent of the food value is lost,
the exact amount lost depending upon
the method of curing, and the amount
of teaching that has taken place. If
crop can be put into the silo while
green, the loss need not exceed five
or 10 per cent.
Corn is generally considered the
ideal siIage crop, and it will probably
remain so in the localities where it
grows we'll. While Washington and
the neighboring states are not consld-
cred corn producing states, neverthe-
less there are places here and there
where excessively large crops of corn
can be raised, and in almost every
locality small crops can be grown.
Corn for silage should be planted
little thicker than for grain. A good
ear is desirabI in some cases, but we
should not sacrifice the amount Of
succulence in trying to get large
grain crop. Ii we can get consider
able higher yield of succulent feed by
planting it thicker it will, of course,
mean more profit to us than il we
planted it thinner and had heavier
yield of grain.
Corn for silage should be cut when

Hnioitg Our Patrons
A Present Need Of the Farm,

''We may do without friends
We may do without books
But civilized man
Cannot do withuot cooks"
Paraphrasing the thought Of this
familiar ditty, there are some things
a farm can do without, but the mod
ern farm that expects to take its place
as an economical producer and show
a maximum net profit cannot do with
out natural asphalt to help out in its
economy of management.
One of the considerable items Of ex-
pense at the start is the roofing OF all
of the buildings as we'll as their up
keep. And as there is usually great
deal of surface the roofing question is
often a serious one from a financial
standpoint. This is a place where
natural asphalt steps in with a salts
factory solution.
Genuine natural asphalt, such as is
found in Trinidad Lake on the Island
Of Trinidad, and Bermudez Lake in
Venezuela, is "Nature's everlasting
waterproofer. - 1t has been CONNER
cialized in comparatively recent years
in many ways.
One of the most important is in its
use for ready roofing which makes a
watertight, weatherproof lasting COW
ering that defies rain, sun, wind,
snow, heat, cold, and fire. 1t comes
in such shape that it can easily be
applied by any handy man on the farm.
And Its economy both in original
and final cost gives it first place in
the consideration of roofing for build
ings of the scientifically managed
farm.
But the use of natural asphalt
doesn stop here. lts'absolute water
prooting qualities are an admirable
check on dampness anywhere. Hence,
valuable coating for stone work found
tions, cellar walls, concrete fioorings,
concrete silos and innumerable places
where complete dryness or water
prooting is necessary.
This waterprooting quality also
adapts it for PREVENTING rust on metal
work, so that natural asphalt paint is
now available for use on steel Orders,
iron fences, implements, or anything
which is exposed to corrOding intiu-
ences.
Another important farm use for
natural aSpnalC arises from us value
in preserving wood from decay.
Fence posts saturated with asphalt
which has been liquetled by intense
heat, endure for years beyond the or
binary life of such posts; and all tim
Der, used where MISREPRESENTATION
from dampness or decay is necessary
or desirable, is greatly increased in
durability.
In many of the places on the modern
farm where it is necessary for ettici-
ency and economy to go hand in hand
natural asphalt steps in and proves
not only its value but it's indispensa-
bility.

the kernels are beginning to dent.
Often times a mistake of cutting too
green is made, and invariably the re-
suit is sour silage. If no ear is form
ed the corn should be cut when two
or three of the bottom leaves have
dried completely and the butt of the
stalks is fairly hard. In the case of
the frosting of the corn, make it a
point to put it into the silc before it
has time to dry, and if it gets so dry
that it cannot be packed evenly, pour
in water as it goes into the silo, and
there will be no trouble with moldy
silage.
In places where corn will not do
we'll, almost any of the legumes can
be used to advantage in the silo. AL
falfa if cut when the blossoms are
about half or more out, will make ex-
cellent silage. In other localities
clover will prove to be the best sllage
crop. All legumes should be allowed
to wilt trifle before being put away
The reason for this is that the high
protein content together with the high
moisture content will produce sour
silage, but it the crop is wilted some
what it will be preserved with the
proper amount of acidity. Legumes
are very often put in with a grain
hay, as for example, clover and oats,
oats and peas, barley and peas. and
vetch and oats. When so put in the
danger Of sour silage is not so great,
but the danger Of having moldy silage
is increased from the fact that the
presence of the hollow stem grain in
cases considerable air which is con-
ducive to mold fermentation. Such
mixed crops should be we'll cut, and
firmly tramped to exclude all air.
The question might be asked, "Why
should a dairyman consider putting
up silage if he can grow green crop
such as kale and feed it directly from
the field the year around?" In very
few places in the Pacific Northwest
would it be desirable or even possible
to drive on the field every day in the
year. Tramping over the soil when
it is soft Injuries the mechanical con-
dition of the soil, and it will take a
considerable amount of la Dor to put
it back, into shape. AS soon as the
winter rains come the fields should be
left alone. Then it is when silage can
be used to advantage.
Considering the amount of labor as
we'll, there is greater saving of labor
to have the hauling of the crop done
in few days by united effort of all
hands and teams, than by piecing it
out once a day or once in two days as
would be necessary when practiclng
the soiling system.
If dairy farmer has a good silo,
his feeding problem becomes simple.
his succulent feed IS provided for,
part of his grain ration can be dis
pensed with, and a considerably less
quantity of costly hay needs to be fed.
