The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-04-15

Dairymen every where recognize
the Importance of feeding their COWS
some sort of succulence all the year
round. If it isn't pasture it is some
soiIing crop, roots or silage. AS a
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 nutrients is concerned,
and by that is meant that pound OF
digestible protein in one succelent
feed will serve practically the same
purpose when fed in some ether 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. SLIDING is
one way, and practically the only way
of preserving all the feeding value OF
hay green crop until such time as it
may be fed to the greatest advantage.
In curing crop of hay about 30 to
so per cent of the food value is lost,
the exact amount lost depending upon
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-04-15
Si|age for Dairy Cows

the method of curing, and the amount
of teaching that has taken place. If
a crop can be put into the silo while
green, the loss need not exceed or
10 per cent.
Corn is generally considered the
ideal silage crop, and it will probably
remain so in the localities where it
grows we'll. While Washington and
the neighboring states are not con-
sidered corn producing states, never
theless there are places here and there
where excessive 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 desirable in some cases, but we
should not sacrifice the amount Of
succulence in trying to get large
grain crop. Ifw can get consider
able higher yield of succulent feed by
planting it thicker it will, of course,
mean more profit to us than If we
planted it thinner and had a heavier
yield of grain.
Corn for silage should be cut when
the kernels are beginning to dent.
Often times mistake of cutting too
green is made, and invariably the re-
suit is sour silage. IT no ear is
formed 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 point to put it into the silo be-
fore it has time to dry, and If 1t gets
so dry that it cannot be packed even
ly, 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.
Alfalfa if cut when the blossoms are
about half or more out, will make
excellent silage. In other localities
clover will prove to be the best silage
crop. All legumes should be allowed
to wilt trifie 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 if the crop is wilted
it will be preserved with
about 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
incases considerable air which is con-
ducive to mold fermentation. Such
mixed crops should be well cut, and
firmly tramped to exclude all the air.
The question might be asked, ''Why
should dairyman consider putting
up silage if he can grow a green crop
such as kale and feed it directly from

CARRANZA'S BLUFF
FAILS WITH HALE
Parleys End When He Refuses
to Answer Questions and
Affects to Withdraw.

Nogales, Mexico, Nov. 19.-Conferences
between William Bayard Hale, personal
representative of President Wilson, and
the Mexican Constitutionalist chiefs, were
terminated abruptly to-day because Cen
eral Carranza refused to answer certain
questions propounded by President Will
son, and not as a result of the MeXican's
demand that Mr. Hale present his formal
credentials.
This truth about the negotiations be-
came known late to-day, when II also
was made clear that the Constitutionalists
had attempted a diplomatic coup which
ended in utter collapse. General Car
ranza's special train to Hermosillo was
scheduled to leave at noon. but II was
3i5 before il finally drew out, and then
Escudero and Bonillas, Carranza's chief
advisers, were not on board.
1t developed that the insurgents had
confidently expected a message from the
American representative, making conces-
sions Immediately after the train left
Bonillas called on Mr.. Hale at the con-
sulate. but Mr.. Hale apparently had made
his last communication to the Constitu-
tionalsts. and he made II clear that he
would deal with nobody but Carranza
himself
Mr.. Hale left Nogales at a late hour to-
night and IL is believed that he returned

ever. were not aware of his departure

The Tammany alacrity to get on the

is due TO the belief that the Hennessy

so long as Mr.. Bryan has never ad-
mitted that Or. Hale's presence in Mex
leo is official. That IL Is, however,
there can be no doubt. Carranza's step
in telling DR.. Hale that he must pre-
sent credentials If he wishes 10 carry
on further negotiations goes far toward
breaking down the hope OF keeping UP
the division OF interests in Mexico. One
OF the levers that might have been used
in ousting Huerta, defiant toward
American proposals, seems to be gone.
Observers here believe that wnen
Huerta hears that Carranza has broken
off with Or. Hale he will be still more
encouraged in his course OF continued
defiance.

AMERICANS FLEE AS
TAMPICO NEARS FALL
City Sure To Be Taken, and Fear
Is Expressed That II Will

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 19.-Tampico.
Mexico. Is surrounded by rebels in large
numbers, and an attack Is expected to-
night, according TO wireless reports re-
ceived here from the British tank
steamer Garfield. which sailed from
Tampico for Galveston this morning.
The message says that the rebels are
within five miles of the port and are
drawing nearer every hour.
CONSERVATION has spread among the
inhabitants as the marching rebels APP
proach the city, and Americans are en-
deavoring TO leave. Many of them are
taking refuge on vessels in the harbor
pending the attack. The battleship
Nebraska and the gunboat Wheeling
are anchored in the harbor and will
protect Americans.
Tampico is near Victoria. which was
captured this week, and is one Of the
most important ports on the Mexican
coast. 1t is in a rich section which has
heretofore been unmolested, and the
fear that the city will be sacked IL
taken is expressed.
Reports say the Mexican garrison IL
too weak 10 withstand an onslaught OF
rebels and must fall. Wireless mes
sages have been sent to ships sailing

The Magdalen Home stands on a hill AZ
Dyckman street, and intervening between
the home and the Hudson River Is deep

the rear, which is built on the edge Of the
ravine, and in some places 1t forms

almost the highest part OF the wall.
They took advantage of a celebration at

night, and yesterday the girls had more
freedom than usual in preparation for the
affair.
A few minutes after o'clock a man
standing on a hill in the rear of the

the top Of the wall. The top is smooth
and rounded. and the girls swayed back

the ravine at the rear of the home.
They found May Brown at the bottom

had gone into the woods. Then she lost
consciousness. The injured girl was taken
to the Washington Heights Hospital in
serious condition.
The mounted policemen and several Of

Huerta Points to Napoleon as His
Example in Message to Congress
The Law Is Not Violated When You Save the Faherland he
Ouotes-Avoids Reference to United States
but Says Crisis Is at Hand

Mexico City. Nov. 10. - President
Huerta in his message to Congress TO-
morrow afternoon will quote Napoleon
in justification of his arbitrary dissoiu-
ton Of the old Congress, and serve
notice that he will ask the new Con-
gress to grant him a political bill OF
health.
Not even a reference to international
relations is made in the message. Inc
document was read and briefly dis
cussed at a meeting Of the Cabinet TO-
day, the ministers agreeing with their
chief that he had done well In not at
tempting to cover too much ground
The President confines himself entirely
TO a review of the incidents leading TO
the dissolution of the old Congress ana
justification for his act.
What may be regarded as hint OF
the delicate situation which Mexico as
q nation is occupying appears in the
conclusion Of the message, when he re-
minds the Congressman that the mo-
ment is a solemn one and possibly de-
cisive for the future of the nation. In
this connection the President says that
the eyes of all the people of Mexico, as
we'll as those of the civilized world, are
upon them.
The message closes with an express
sion of the hope that soon all MeXicans
may be united and that all may join in
the task CT national reconstruction.
Prepare for Defence.
Speculation as TO what President
Wilson intends TO do in the face OF the
Mexican difficulty was increased to-day
by the knowledge that Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, American charge daft
flares. had received new instructions
from Washington TO wait at his post
for further orders. and that important
matters were under consideration.
The announcement that British
SQUADRON was coming to Mexican
waters aroused keen interest, but the
effect upon the Mexican mind was re-
assuring rather than otherwise, because
the Mexican people continue to look
upon Great Britain as friend. In OIL
fetal quarters the dispatch Of the
squadron was styled an act Of courtesy.
The foreign colonies in the Mexican
capital are preparing to defend them
selves in the event Of disturbances IN
the city, and particularly should Inc
final settlement be left to the MeXi-
cans themselves. Sir Lionel Garden
and Admiral Won Hintze, the British
and German ministers, respectively.
have suggested to their nationals the
ACCESSIBILITY of perfecting some sort OF
defence organization.
No such advice has been given TO the
Americans, but committees are quietly
working out plan Of defence, and IL is
