JAPANESE STATEMENT

Washington. D. c., April "a
This formal statement was issued at
the Japanese EN- bassy today:
NO visit has been made by the am
hassador to the White House this week
nor has he ever limited to anybody at
such an alarming outcome of the
situation as a possible war between
the two countries.
In fact such a contingency had not
been discussed at any phase so that it
is equally erroneous to say that the
Japanese amba ssador has declared that
no war will follow. In fact he as well
as his government confidently relies
on the syn. pathetic attitude of the
American administration and the high
sense of justice and fairness of the
: -nerican people to prevent legislation
adverse to the japanese.
In view of the gravity of these re-
ports and of their possible mischief.
the embassy authorizes the strongest
possible contradiction of such state
ments''

sILAGE FOR HORSES.

The government owns valuable
herd of pure bred Morgan horses that
are kept at Middlebury, Vt. The
brood mares are left out the entire
winter, having an open shed for pro-
lection.
During the winter of 1911-12 those
brood mares were each fed daily 20
pounds of silage and 10 pounds Of hay.
They had no grain. They went through
the winter in the best of condition and
in the spring every foal was straight
and sound. In the winter of 1928
the silage was deficient in grain and
a small quantity was added to the RAJ
ton.
Mr.. Geo. M Rommel, chief of the
animal husbandry division of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, has charge
of the government horse breeding
work and has investigated the feeding
of silage to horses in many herds. He
states most emphatically that no
breeder in the United States can af-
ford to raise horses without having
an ample supply of silage for brood
mares and all growing animals. He
says that it reduces the cost of feed
one-half and maintains the animals in
the most desirable condition. He says
that silage must be fed in moderate
quantities to horses that are working.
Watson Wood Brothers and Kelley
are one of the largest horse importing
companies in the United States. Last
winter they fed corn silage to fifty
imported stations. The corn yielded
forty bushels an acre and it was cut
when the ears were in dent and some
of the lower leaves had dropped off.
The daily ration per horse was IL
pounds silage, 8 pounds oats, pounds
alfalfa, pounds bran and little tim
othy hay. During so days that the
stations were weighed, they made an
average gain of 240 pounds per head.
Not single horse had the collie, was
off feed or had days sickness.
There is one precaution that must
be taken. FOR HORSES THERE
MUST BE NO MOLD IN THE ST.
LACE. The owner of herd Of draft
horses in Iowa fed silage to his horses
daily through most of the winter. The
horses thrived as they had never done
before and none were taken sick. The
owner fed the silage and was careful
to see that not single handful Of
moldy silage was ever fed. He was
taken sick and had to stay in the house
for just a week. His boy, ten years
old, fed the horses during the week.
