is very heavy clay. The sides and
bottom should be coated with cement
and where the soil is light or sandy a
reinforcing of concrete with iron or
steel rods is necessary. One objec-
ton to the building of underground
silos is the labor connected with the
removal of the silage for feeding.
Regarding silos in general will say
that in the past, wooden silos nave
been the most popular, probably be-
cause Of their low cost and also be-
cause they preserve the silage perfectly
when properly cared for. The rein
forced concrete silo is also coming
into general favor It is permanent
structure and should therefore not be
built except as part Of permanent
group Of farm buildings. The first
concrete silos that were built did not
prove successful because of cracking.
They showed signs of insufficient
reinforcing. 1t is to be remembered
that a concrete wall in itself will
Withstand very little If any outward
pressure, unless 1t is built extremely
thick. 1t therefore becomes necessary
to reinforce heavily quite as much iron
being necessary as for ordinay stave
silos. The inside of the wall should
be covered with several coats of neat

A new bulletin on the feeding Of
dairy COWS, issued by the Minnesota
Experiment Station, gives some infor-
nation very valuable to dairymen.
bulletin $780, Under head of general
suggestions we find in part:
The object in formulating ration
is to supply sufficient bulk to satisfy
the appetite and feeding capacity, and
to furnish the amount of each nutrient
needed for the work the COW is doing.
If the ration lacks in bulk, the cow
will be discontinued. If it contains
nutriment in excess OF the amount
needed for maintenance OF the body
and the milk yield, a gradual gain in
weight will follow, and ii it is short
of the required amount of nutrients
there will be decrease in the flow of
milk or shrinkage in the body
weight.
PROPORTION OF ROGHAGE
TO CONCENTRATES.
Since it Is important that a COW
should have enough feed to satisfy the
appetite, the proportion of course feed
to grain must be adjusted to her
actual needs. Roughage In a general
way should be fed according to her
size, allowing about two pounds of hay
per hundred weight when 1t is the
only roughage used. When silage is
fed it may be the general rule to feed
one pound of hay and three pounds of
silage per hundred weight and the
balance of the nutrients needed should
be provided in the form of concen
trates. These directions are only
general, as In feeding practice it will
be found that spare, rib bodied COWS
will take relatively more roughage.
PALATABILITY.
In formulating ration, due regard

COW, or strike her or speak loudly
and harshly. A gentle voice and a
caressing touch is quite as important
as is digestible protein. II you SO
handle the COW that they are fond OF
you, you have learned one OF the most
important lessons that lead to profit
able dairying. The most successful
milk producers always in close touch
with every COW in the herd. II you
have not been in the habit Of caressing
the COWS the time to inaugurate the
practice is when they approach the
time of calving, as it is at that par
ticular time that they take kindle to
grooming and to gentle rubbing OF the
udder

Some General Suggestions

should be given to its palatabilty. A
cow will give better returns II she
relishes her feed. 1t stimulates the
appetite and aids digestion. To this
end, forage should be cut early and
not exposed to sunshine any longer
than is absolutely necessary. Dews
and sunshine in alienation will
bleach forage and reduce it's palata
bility and digestibility. The ration
should be composed Of a reasonable
number OF feeds, since a mixture is
relished better than only one kind of
grain or roughage; but frequent
changes in ration should be avoided,
as they cause imperfect digestion and
assimilation. The dairyman should
SO adjust the supply of feed that the
ration can be made from two kinds of
roughage and several varieties of gain
and then make no more changes dur
ing the winter that is necessary.
Succulent feeds such as roots or silage
is greatly relished, and it stimulates
the appetites and the flow of milk.
1t also aids digestion by keeping the
COW in better tone.
HANDLING THE HERD.
In order to secure large yield of
milk, it is quite as important that
the cow or herd is handled properly
as that proper feeding Is practiced.
We know of many instances where
the best of dairy COWS were kept, and
where good methods of feeding were
practiced, and still results fell far
short of what might reasonably have
been expected, simply because the
animals did not receive that kindly
treatment which is SO essential to a
cow giving much milk for long
period. The herd as VIII ole should
always be moved slowly. Never hurry
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-15
FEEDING WHEN DRY.

During the eight or ten weeks that
the COWS go dry their feed should
be chiefly roughage. A daily allow
ance of two pounds of bran or oats, or
mixture of two parts each of bran
and oats and one part of linseed meal
makes proper feed of COW nearing
calving. Some roots, cabbage, pump
kins, or squashes are also very good.
Highly carbonaceous roughage, such
as straw and corn stalks, is not good
at this particular time. Such feeds,
with cold water, cold drafts or lying
out at night on damp or frozen ground
are the chief causes of caked uder or
garget.

THE LAW AS TO PARDON.S.

The discovery" of a law regulating
the application for pardons in Arkan-
sas has been the subject of much com
ment in the state papers recently, and
Acting Governor Futrell, in a state
ment issued Saturday, said that here
after a substantial compliance with
this law will be required of those ap-
plying to him for pardons.
The discovered law, which is en-
braced in sections 2566 to 2570, inclu-
sive, of Kirby's Digest, is not so an
cient as might be presumed from its
discovery as it was enacted only 10
years ago-April 20. 1903 Those who
are familiar with the course of state
politics during the past decade will
easily recall the circumstances of its
passage 1t was simply an attempt
upon the part of an anti-administra-
ton legislature to curb an alleged in
discriminate and excessive use of the
pardon power by the then chief ex-
ecutive, Jeff Davis.
The act attempted to prohibit the
governor from considering or grant
ing any application for a pardon or
remission Of forfeiture Of bail bond
until there is filed in his Office a GER
tifcate Of the county clerk or affidavit
of two persons known to be credible,
chat the application for such pardon
or remission of forfeiture has been
published as hereinafter provided. -
The two sections following provided
for the publication for two weeks in
some newspaper or the posting at the
entrance Of the courthouse for 10 days
Of all applications for pardons.
Governor Davis, however, took the
position that the legislature had no
power to place such a limitation upon
the governors constitutional authori-
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-04-28

ty to grant pardons and simply disre-
/ garded the new law. His position in
the matter was never controverted,
and his successors followed his exam
! pie in ignoring the act.
| Section Is of article 6 of the consti-
tuition of 1874 provides that ''in all
criminal and penal cases, except in
those of treason and impeachment, the
governor shall have the power to
grant reprieves, combinations of SEN
tence and pardons after conviction;
and to remit fines and forfeitures I'M
der such rules and regulations as may
be prescribed by law *"
1t would seem clear that the govern
or's power to grant reprieves, commu-
tations and pardons in all cases tex
cept those of treason and impeach-
ment) is absolute and beyoud the con-
troll of legislative act. But his pow
er to remit fines and forfeitures may
be regulated by the legislature; and,
so far as the remission of forfeitures
of bail bonds is concerned, his power
probably is limited to the extent of
the provisions of the newly discovered
law.

NOW SEEKS TO SAVE
Her FATHERS LIFE
GIRL WHO CAUSED PREACHER'S
CONVICTION SAYS SHE
SWORE FALSELY.

Fort Smith, April 28.-Declaring
that she had testified falsely against
her father, Marion Capps, a Methodist
minister, Bertha Capps, aged Is years,
has made a confession, it was learned
yesterday, which counsel for Capps
hopes will save the minister's life.
Capps was convicted in February by a
jury in the circuit court here and was
sentenced to hang, for a first degree
murder He was charged with burn
ing to death his two children, Rosie,
aged 8, and Priscilla, aged 3. These
met death December Is, last, when the
Caps home at White Bluff, near b.
nanza, was destroyed by fire. A third
third child, Max, aged 10, later died
from burns he sustained N the fire
Bertha Capps and her 14-year-old
brother, Ellis, survived, with horri-
bic injuries, while sixth child was
rescued by Capps.
1t was the testimony Of the girl,
substantiated in some instances by the
testimony of Ellis, that convicted their
father. The girl swore she had been

soaked bed The boy said he found
himself tied to another bed. She also
awore that the only door leading out
Of her room was locked. In her con
fess.on she is reported to have admit
ted that she swore falsely against
her father, and she now denies that
she was tied in bed or that her bed
was soaked with oil. She also admits
that the door was not locked.
She has made statements to this eff
feet, she says, while she was over
excited and after she had concluded
she had erred she says she decided to
tell the truth She was prevented
from so doing, she insists, by friends,
who told her the change of testimony
would bring her into difficulty. An
other denial the girl has made is that
she saw her father leave her room and
lock the door while the blaze was in
it's infancy. The girl also has admit
ted that she and Marion Booth, son
of neighbor, to whose home she fled
after the fire, were engaged to be
married on Christmas Day. Her faith
er was much opposed to the match, she
says, in her confession
1t is also SAID that the boy Ellis, has
made a confession" in which he has

against his father.
Counsel for Capps will ask for a
new trial.
