FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Uneartheo in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

II is learned that number OF new
and relatively important manuscripts
OF Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer OF the great
novelist. who has been for some time
IN both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings OF the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session OF some OF the many friends
OF Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result OF this research has been
the finding OF an essay. said 10 be
highly poetical In character. written
by the novelist after Witnessing a vol.
cano in action. supposedly either the
famed crater of Sayaii or the pit Of
kilauea in Hawaii. piece OF fiction
dealing with South Sea life. and a
number OF smaller verse compositions
Still another manuscript. a blank
verse relation OF we'll known legend
OF Maui OF considerable length. but
unfinished. has also come 10 light. and
the enthusiastic admirer OF Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month

Back in the fall Of 1907 the Indiana
station began to experiment with
silage for feeding pregnant ewes
One lot OF ewes was fed silage along

other lot was fed more hay. slightly
more grain, but no silage. These two
lots OF ewes were as nearly alike as
could be had. The next year nrac.

VALUE OF THE DRILL SYSTEM
Question Most Frequent in Discus
sions on Wheat Raising Is An
swered by Many Farmers.
By l. c. BURNETT

The value Of the drill is the cues
zion most frequent in discussions on
wheat raising. The results OF four
years tests in Iowa are found to be
AZ bushels of winter wheat gain per
acre when the grain was drilled, over
that which vas broadcasted. This.
figured at 70 cents per bushel. the
average price OF wheat for the time
covered by the experiment, shows a
balance of 1926 per acre in favor OF
drilling.
The opinion OF farmers in all parts
CT the country seems to be about the
same. when it comes to the value of
the drill.
Edward Lefot OF Minnesota SAYS:
Five pecks per acre is the usual
quantity sown when the wheat is
drilled. and six pecks broadcast. Elk
periments seem to Indicate that a
larger quantity of seed does not in
crease the yield. I prefer drilling to

lots OF ewes were all fed out for an

The general results OF this test run.
ming for three years show definitely
that the use OF silage for ewes. even
il large amounts. will not interfere
with the health and thrift Of the prog
nant eve nor OF her prospective
lamb. Also. the succulence which the

thrift and general health OF the eve
and because OF the added health and
vigor the foeti were better nonrished
er lambs were produced Furthermore
the producing OF all these satisfactory
results did not affect the lambs IN
favorably and the silage ration vas
more economical.
Accurate data regarding the value
OF silage in 4 ration for fattenine
sheep and lambs IS scarce. but what
there is indicates that it is useful AZ
far back as the early nineties the
Michigan experiment station fed some
lambs on silage and other foodsturs
The gist OF their findings is 10 the
effect that a mixture OF folders com
posed largely OF a good quality OF
silage proved a cheap and successful
ration for fattening lambs
The Iowa station at Ames made
some comparative tests OF dry HAYS.
roots. and silage as roughness in 1905
and 1907 In lots fed the first winter.
the silage cheapened the ration con
siderably. During the second winter
the various lots were fed for a long
period. 1913 days. and the silage lot
refused TO eat much silage They ate
almost as much grain and hay as the
other lots did and the gain on these
silage lambs was more expensive than
was that with some OF the other food
combinations. But the average OF the
two years was favorable TO the use o,
silage as a means OF cheapening the
ration. The lambs from all lots An
ished into market toppers. but the
dressed carcasses showed the sllage
lambs a little superior on the hook
Taking these few experiments then
into consideration. and also the gen.
eral results which various feeders
have obtained in practical work II
seems that silage has an important
place among desirable and economical
feeds for fattening sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can BE-
fed to sheep with satisfactory results
The use Of moldy OF frozen silage NAV
cause trouble. but good. clean bright
silage can be used with excellent TO. /
suits. either az a succulent food for
breeding ewes In winter or as a cheap
but satisfactory and efficient roughare /
for fattening lambs and sheep This
opinion is based partially on observa.
tons Of focks which have been fed
and partially on the experiments
quoted above. The results to date
point toward silage as a cheap and /
valuable feed for sheep.
