Silos and Silage.

The dairymen and feeders OF beer
cattle in this State are realizing more
the economical value of silage as a
food. If you keep dairy COWS or beef
cattle and have not silo, then you
should make an effort to build one this
season so that it can be filed in the
fall for winter feeding. No person
having as many as ten COWS can al
ford to do without silo.

Facts Worth Knowing.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: ~ Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar,
derived from grapes. It is important
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients,
and which kind is used in your bak-
ing powder.
(D. Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is
made from a kind of clay. This clay
is mixed with diluted oil of Vitriol
and from this solution a product is
c'tained which is alum. Alum is cheap,
costs about two cents a pound, and

This includes the entire eXpenditl'-
for the crop from the time you begin
cultivating the land until the silage is
stored in the silo. The cost Of silage
depends largely upon the quantity of
corn or sorghum that you can grow
to the acre. Some people in this State
have produced as much as tons Of
silage to the acre, while others have
not made more than 3 tons to the
acre. Three tons to the acre, however,
is an exceptionally low production.
Experiments have shown that by the
use of silage dairymen have gotten
one-third more milk at one-third less
cost than where hulls were used. We
are prepared to give you personal as
sistance in the construction of silo,
as we'll as advise regarding the grow
ing, cutting and feeding of a crop for
silage. A silo can be put up with
your own farm labor If you begin
work on a silo this spring, Or early
in the summer, personal assistance
can be given to more people than if
you wait until August or September.

date. For further information along

(2). Bone-Acid, of Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders and
the process is fully described in the
patents issued to large manufactur-
er of phosphate powder. The U. S.
patent Office reports gives full and
exact description, but the following
extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil OF
vitriol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid Phosphate
baking powders are made; such pow
ders sell from 20 to 80 cents pound"
(3). Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
when the grapes are pressed. The tar
tar is subsequently gathered from the
eask, boiled with water, and refined,
when crystals of Cream Of Tartar,
white and very pure, separate and are
procured. 1t differs in no respect from
the form in which it originally existed
in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then,
while the most expensive, IS the only
ingredient that should be used in
baking powder to act upon the soda,
as it's wholesomeness is beyond ques-
ton. Cream of Tartar baking pow
ders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound.
Such are the facts and every one,
careful of the health of the family.
should remember this rule: Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents OF
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to SO
cents of Cream OF Tartar derived from
grapes.
