through the summer. It keeps the animals system in as good condition as when the stock is on good pasture, and feeds given with 1t are better digested.
 Corn makes the best silage, kaffir corn milo and sorghum follow, their value being in or. der mentioned. Green vines nusks and cobs from the can ming factories make good ma terial to put in the silo. In con- tinuous rainy weather alfalfa. clover and other hay crops may be saved ill the silo.
 The vast dry farming sections of the Southwest will be as thickly settled with comfortable farm homes as is the Northern corn belt whenever stock raising, drouth.resistant forage crops and the silo are acopted, instead of exclusive farming. Every live stock growing eistrict in the United States needs the silo. The general use of the silo will make the high-priced small farms of the corn belt profitable growers, as well as finishers of cattle and sheep. Missouri and Kansas Farmer.

per cent of the feed value is con tained in the kerlels and 40 per cent in the stalk and leaves. With the grain worth one and a half billion dollars, the iced value of the rest of the crop is a billion dollars. At least 90 per cent of the feed valve of the stalk is lost nnder the present system of farm management-a waste with this crop alone of nearly a billion dollars yearly no other business but farming could stand such an enormous loss.
 In the New England and the Middle states most of the stalks are saved as fodder and there are many silos, but with the but with the damage for weather ing, the waste in handling and the loss in digestibility from drying, the farmers are very far from utilizing the full feed value of the corn stock, In the corn belt, where the bulk of the crop is raised, comparatively few corn growers harvest the stalks, and the only returns most of them secure iron the forage is by pas turing the dead stalks in the cold and storms of winter. Ere quently the death of stock pas tured in the stalk fields make loss that far exceeds the returns from the feed.
 Contrast this waist by the corn grower by the practice of large business organizations. For years the large packing houses have sold dressed meat for less than they have paid for the live weight of the animals.
 Yet every year these packing houses return millions of dollars profit because they utilize to the fullest extent the value of their by products. The Standard Oil Company takes crude oil into It's refining plants. puts it through costly processes, using apparatus that requires the out lay of millious, pays the freight and devivers the kerosene and gasoline direct to consumers at a lower rate than is asked for mineral water, where the only expense is to run the water through a pipe from the spring into bottle. At the same time the corn growers are waisting most of 40 per cent of the feed value of over one hundred million acres of corn.
 The soil provides the corn grower with the means of util- izing the largest proportion of the feed value of his entire crop, grain and forage. The whole crop can be stored economically in the silo in compact form. The silage can be kept for days, months or years, or feeding may begin as soon as filling the silo is completed. The silo can be filled in good weather, when it is raining, or In time of extreme drOuth and hot winds. Silage is good feed daily, both in winter and summer. When grass is ready. ln the spring, the feed that remains in the silo can be cover ed and will keep we'll until need ed when the summer drouth comes. Silage furnishes green succulent, appetizing feed in the winter, the same as grass

Serious Diseases


We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage Of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feeding
of baby its tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes 1t the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing 1t great suffering.
II the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There Is, however. no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but 1t should be done instantly-is to
give the baby small dose of mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy is DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine I ever used. It cured my

chiefly on Leadvills ores, both treated
increased quantities of stock ore. The
Western Chemical Co.'s wet-concen.
tration and magnetic-separation plant
at Denver treated an increased ton
mage of zinc-lead sulphide ore. The
buildings of the Rho magnetic-separa-
ton plant at Leadville (closed in July.

the Sutton. Steele & Steele Co., for
the treatment OF sulphide and siliceous
ores of Leadville.
The San Juan region Of Dolores, La
Plata, ouray. San Juan and San Miguel
counties, showed decrease of $1,000
600 in output of gold, but an increase
OF 100000 ounces of silver, 3,500,o00
pounds of lead. and 100000 pounds Of
"copper" The yield of zinc was 100000
pounds less than in 1911. The decrease
in the yield of gold was caused chiefly
by the decline in operations of the
Camp Bird mine, which was to be
closed July, 1919, but which, owing to
the discovery of some new ore bodies,
is still being operated.
The decrease in gold production
from Ouray county was 100000 in mill
bullion. and 100000 in contents of ore
and concentrates shipped. total of
$s2O.O00. San Miguel cou9ty's gold
output from both bullion and smelling
matsricl showed a decrease OF $780,
900 for the year. San Juan county
showed an increase in output Of all
metals, including one of $175,000 in
gold. Ouray county showed an In
crease for silver but decreases for lead
and copper. La Plata county's gold
yield fell off $160,000. San Miguel
county showed considerable increases
for silver and lead but small decreases
for copper and zinc. Dolores county
showed notable increases in all the
metals, owing to the reopening OF
mines at Rico.
The yield of gold bullion from Boul-
der county decreased appreciably, as
did the shipments of ore, there being a
decrease for all the metals except lead.
Clear Creek county's output showed a
small decrease for all the metals. In
Gilpin county not only was there an in.
crease Of gold bullion produced. but
the contents Of all the metals in ore
and concentrates showed appreciabie
gains.
The Pitkin county (Aspen) yield
showed an appreciable increase in sill.
yer output, but decrease in lead.
Several cars of zinc carbonate (ths
first ore of this class from this camp)
and several cars of zinc sulphide con.
centrates were shipped. The shipment
of ore and concentrates from Creede
showed a decrease for all the metals
except silver. which increased about
100000 ounces. A larger tonnage OF
ore was shipped from Hinsdale county.
The dredge output of gold in Summit
county increased $150.000; the zinc
yield from Breckenridge equaled that
of 1911, but smaller shipments OF zinc
concentrates from Kokomo resulted
in decreased yield Of zinc for the
county. Eagle county's output of elmo
showed very little change. Park coun.
TVS placer output of gold showed q
small decrease, but there was q con.
siderable increase in the gold contents
of crude ore shipped. while the con-

precaibly. The dredge in Costilla coun.
