|SUFFRAGETTES
CONTINUE WAR
Burn Grandstand at Kelso
Racecourse in Scotland.
Women Caught Setting Fire to
Stand-Many Windows Brok-
en- and Mail Boxes Ruined.

London, April 1.-THE campaign Of
revenge for the long sentence imposed
upon Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
which the suffragettes threatened
is proceeding actively and seems like
ly to spread.
Many outrages have been commit
ted during the last twenty -four hours.
These included the complete destruc-
tion of the grandstand of the Ayr
race course in Scotland, where the
principal Scottish meetings are held,
the damage being estimated at sl5.-
900, and an attempt to burn the new
grandstand of the Kelso race course,
also in Scotland. Two women were
caught red-handed after they had
ignited oil-soaked rags which they
had placed beneath the Kelso stand.
Many shop windows were smashed
in Glasgow, including those of the
Labor Exchange; telephone wires
were cut at Llantarnam, in Mon
mouthshire letter boxes were damag-
ed at Liverpool; the flower beds in
the public park at Newcastle were
torn up and letter boxes were burn
ed or damaged in London.
The fact that Mrs. Emerson, of
Jackson, Mich, has declared herself
satisfied with the concession made by
the British Home Secretary, Reginald
McKenna. in taking ten days off the
prison sentence of her daughter.
Miss Zelie Emerson, has greatly
displeased some of the militant suf-
fragettes. Miss Lillian Scott-Troy
the San Francisco suffragette, who
has been one of the most active work
ers in Miss Emerson's behalf, in an
interview tonight said
81 am thoroughly shocked at Mrs.
Emerson's weak attitude after her
strong letters and cablegrams to the
United States, and the firm support
she has had from English do:tJrs and
men and women of high position who
know neither her daughter nor her.
self personally, but who realize the
awful consequences of forcible feed
ing in English prisons.
81 blame the embassy for her
change Of attitude. Mrs. Emerson Is
one OF those Americans who evident
ly are overcome by a nol from an
English person in a position superior
to that in which they move.
"It is not case of an individual,
but case of an American citizen, ant
Mrs. Emerson, whose attitude has
been hot and cold. should be disre-
garded and the campaign continued
because 1t will establish a president
for future treatment of American
prisoners in English prisons"
The bomb and arson campaign
threatened by the "wild woiuen" has
caused intense alarm in the Pro-
vinces. especially at historic places
like Chatsworth and Blenhelm, where
special patrols of police anl raine>
keepers have been placed on dlty
day and night.

Antiquity of Oil.

It has recently been pointed out
that the use of oil for lighting anc
heating purposes is of very ancient
origin, and it is only necessary to re-
call the parable of the ten virgins
to notice that oil was widely known
in the early days of the Christian era
although it is probable that at that
time the oil was of vegetable origin
ard obtained from rapeseed. nuts and
olives; but If petroleum oil was moi
used the "City of Eternal Fire
(Baku) and it's fire temple were well
known to travellers of the olden time
and many other sources were known
in the Ionian islands, Burmah and
the Eastern Archipelago. Within the
last century, and particularly during
the latter half of it, oil has been dis
covered in almost all parts of the
world, principally in sub-tropical re
gions. and there appears to be
chain of petroleum-bearing eartf
which follows more or less closely the
chain of the volcanic regions. The
origin of petroleum is obscure, bu
generally it may be stated that or
ganic remains of plants or animals

lowed by distillation at low tenn

ry substance which closely resembles
natural petroleum.

Will Probably Build a Silo.

in nearly all OF the States, but
thus far in Louisiana we believe
they have been almost unknown.
Mr.. J. w. Reynolds, president of
Big Pine Lumber Co., has been
making inquiries into the silo
business, and we understand
that he and Capt. c. H. Teal will
in all probability build one or
more silos on their Glenco plan
tation a few miles south of Col
fax. The information Mr.. Rey-
holds has obtained from the In
diana Silo Co., of Anderson, In
diana, is very complete, and as
we believe it will be of interest
to many readers of the Chronicle
we print it as follows:
Anderson. Indiana. Feb. IA. 1913.
Mr.. J. W. Reynolds care OF Sabine Lumber Co..
Houston. Texas.
Dear Sir-Mr. ]. Lewis Thomp-
son has requested me to give you
some more information regard
ing corn, sorghum, alfalfa and
coz peas as used in connection
w!sh the silo. | was in our Kan
SIS City office a few days ago
and asked our sales manager
Mr.. George P. Hibbets, to take
UP these matters with you and
go into some detail, but fearing
you have not gotten all the infor-
nation you desire, will say will
go over with yop briefly regard
ing the use of the above crops in
connection with the silo. /
might say there can be volumes
and volumes written on this sub
ject and it is more than likely
you are more or less familiar with
great deal of the fundamental
information, and if after you
have read this letter you desire
specific information on any par
ticular point, please write us and
we will be glad to answer any
details for you.
CORN
Corn where it can be grown to
any large extent is the most val
liable crop for the silo, as corn
is the greatest grass" that
grows and produces more food
value to the acre than most any
crop that can be raised on soil
and in climate where it is posi-
BILE to raise said corn.
The corn crop as usually handl-
ed means only the use of the ear,
and in some instances cutting up
the fodder and getting a small
amount of the food value from
the dry stalks and blades. But
when the corn plant is cut up
fine-just when the corn is thor
oughly matured but before the
plant begins to lose anything
through evaporation and placed
in an air tight vessel, you can
save from IS to 800 of the food
value of the plant. Might say,
when the ears only are used,
husked, dried and cured they only
contain about 1870 of the food
value of the plant.
Therefore. by saving the corn
crop in the silo you double its
feeding value and in addition to
doubling the feeding value the
grain that is in the silo is much
more digestible, and the stock
eating the silage derive more
good from the grain in the silage
than they would from the dried
corn, as well as getting full val
ue of the stalks rnd blades.

Immediately produces carbonic
acid gas. This carbonic gas kills
all bacteria growth that may de-
velop in the vegetable and every
one knows all decay in vegetable
matter is of bacteria growth.
Now, since this vessel is air
tight and the carbonic acid gas
is heavier than air, this gas stays
in the silo and preserves the feed
for an indefinite period except
the small portion that is on top
and partially exposed to the oxy-
gen. There will be spoilage on
the silo, but after you begin to
feed and clean off this spoilage
that has accumulated on top,
there should be no more spoilage
during the feeding period, as it
takes day or two for this spoil
age to begin, and as you feed at
least twice a day the silage is, Of
course, kept good and bright dur
ing the feeding period.
SORGHUM
Sorghum is very close kin"
to the corn plant and about the
same conditions cover the SLIDING
of sorghum as would cover corn
except that sorghum does not
carry as high a percentage of
some food values as the corn
and is only used in place of corn
where it can be raised with a
larger tonnage to the acre or
where it is a surer crop than corn.
cow PEAS AND ALFALFA
These come under about the
same schedule. They are both
very high in protein, not as high
in carbohydrates as the corn and
sorghum, nor do they produce
nearly as much tonnage to the
acre. They, therefore, are not
as valuable crops to raise for the
silo as corn or sorghum, but some
times you want to raise the al
falfa or COW peas for the good of
your land in getting more nitro
gen into the soil. The time for
cutting alfalfa or cow peas may
be rainy and it does not hurt
them a particle to put them up
in the silo when they are wet,
while to be cut as hay they would
be entirely ruined. We might
say in this connection that ra-
ton of alfalfa or cow peas made
in silage and fed with a ration of
corn silage, makes a most excel
lent balanced ration, as where al
falfa and cow peas carry an ex-
cess of protein and the corn car
ries an excess of the carbohy-
drates.
We are sending you under sep
rate cover copy of our catalog
which has in it a good deal of
valuable information regarding
silage. We are also sending you
copy of the book "Silo Profits

fences Of some two hundred silo

both of these publications. We
