There has been considerable discus.
sion in horticultural journals within
the past year touching the merits Of
the Himalaya blackberry, some speak
ing in high praise of it and others pro-
nouncing it practically worthless. The
chief criticism of 1t seems to be that
1t will not stand severe winter cold
and that 1t is not as prolific bearer
nor its fruit Of as good quality as was
claimed.

Not that of the poorest farmer in

such farmers? There Is reason

reason. Find it and practice it If

WHY THE SiLO7

, First. - Because corn enSilage is
the nearest and most economical
) substitute for pasture grass.
which is the most ideal of all
; own ratiOns'
Second. That an acre of corn
ensilage yields from 600 to 1900
pounds more nutrients per acre
than any other of the farm crops.
, Third.-That there is great
economy of space in its use.
Fourth. That its use makes it
more pleasant to feed stock and
3 also saves great deal of time
and labor.
Fifth 49, Because with its use in
; the winter ration larger gains
5 and milk flows are the result
Sixth With its use practically
the entire food value of the corn
crop is saved
Seventh. That the silo enables
the farmer to keep double the
number of head Of stock on the
same farm.
Eighth fields are cleared
and ready for the wheat or rye,
as all cornstalks are safely
stored in silo instead of going to
waste in the field.
Ninth.-And lastly and prob
ably the most convincing of all is
the fact that practically every
farmer now using the silo would
not do without it When we can
Z grow and store away for winter
5 use feed that takes the place of
z our pasture and that feed can be
5 raised on our farms at a less cost
Z that any Of our present feeds the

ed masses of spectators, but aside from
these more formal functions she will
be present by large majority.
Let no one harbor the erroneous no.
ton for moment that lovely woman
has ever lacked IA potent voice In the
conduct of national affairs. In Wash
ington some OF the best politicians are
of the feminine gender, and this has
no reference to lobbyists. The nation
al capital is a social city. and the wives
and daughters of some of the leading
statesmen. and mayhap of some who
are not leading, carry on their cam
paigns and advance the cause of their
men folk In most effective ways.
AS general thing, the wives of sen
atOrs. congressman and public officials
are well Informed on current issues
and have an interest in the political
game and IN aptitude for playing 1t.
This has been true from the days of
Martha Washington. Abigail Adams
and Dolly Madison down to 1913 But
in our times women are voting In nine
states and are making prodigious eff
fort to vote In others. have invaded
business. the professions and almost
every occupation where men aforetime
worked alone and have thousands Of
clubs. where all sorts Of literary, social
and civic questions are discussed
Washington, which is the political and
social mirror of the nation, must needs
reflect these things
During the last campaign all of the
national committees had woman's de
partments. Women speakers. and
quite effective ones at that. were on
the stump. Women organizers were
In the field. Women were connected
with the press bureaus-wrote the let
tiers, mailed the documents. attended
to the card indexes and helped In
thousand and one ways Therefore
woman will be present I'm force at the
Inauguration Of the new president

an even greater stir In the social life
Of Washington than In the political
life Of the country. or course there Is

homo The beauty of the city, its eli
mate and charm have acted as a mag
| net to draw TO 1t loveliness, wit and
brilliancy. and In time it is probable
that the American capital will become
as much a social center as the great
capitals of Europe.
The resident set, which continues
however administrations may come
and go, accepts only those among the
official circle who win their way into
its exclusive precincts by their own
merit. Nevertheless the advent of a
new administration has a profound In.
huence on Washington society. The
wife of the president is the first lady
of the land In fact as well as name
She has the right of precedence every
where. Her invitations are commands,
and her influence In social matters is
powerful, not only In the capital, but
elsewhere.
Daughter of a Clergyman.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Is the daugh
ter Of a southern clergyman and was
future president, who was then an as
sistant professor at Bryn Mawr. As
wife Of the president Of Princeton
governor of New Jersey and president
elect she has won golden opinions
from all. Not only is she cultured IN
the best sense OF the term. but has all
the charming hospitality that is pro
charming daughters, Margaret Jessie
and Eleanor, while serious minded
young women, each with a classic edu-
cation and interested In art, music
settlement work and the bigger things
of life, are nevertheless social favor
ties and may be depended on to make
life at the White House brilliant and
lively. Associated with them will be
Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter Of the
speaker, and the daughters Of various
Democratic senators and representa-
tives. who are already bellies in Wash
ington.
Mover Apart For a Day.
Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall will be the
second lady Of the land and promises
to be favorite as such. 1t Is said Of
her that she has never been away from
the next vice president twenty-four
hours at time since their marriage
many years ago. When she went on
shopping tour to Chicago or else
where the then governor Of Indiana
dropped the affairs Of state and went
along, and when the governor had to
go on campaign tour Mrs. Marshall
accompanied him to look after his col
lars, ties. tickets and time tables and
make things easy for him on the road
In one campaign Governor Marshall
set pace that wore out some OF the
old guard of campaigners, but Mrs
Marshall did not seem to mind She
was as bright and vivacious at the end
OF the grueling trip as at the begin
ming. The same was true I'm his tour
OF the country as candidate for vice
president

father, who was an Indiana county
clerk when Mr.. Marshall, then a law

with Mrs. wilson and Mrs. Marshall
| the leadership of the government set
and In general way of all Washington
society. One Thug appears certain
| there will be more democratic sim
plicity than during some of the recent
regimes. The next vice president says
| frankly that he is poor man and will
govern his affairs accordingly. Not
only so, but democratic simplicity will
be a rule Of the new administration,
socially and otherwise.
That Suffrasist Parade.
Neither Mrs. Wilson nor Mrs. Mar.
shall is an advocate Of woman suf-
frage. Nevertheless the campaign in
behalf of votes for women has made
immense Roadway in the national cap
ital, many Of the society leaders hav-
| ing espoused it. At first there was
talk Of an elaborate suffra gist division
In the inaugural parade, but this was
afterward abandoned, for reasons not
widely advertised, and q parade on
March was arranged instead II
was proposed TO have leading women
from all parts of the land present, to
marshal imposing divisions from all
the states, to show by their costuming
the advance Of womankind from their
ancient position of semiserfdom to the
proud place of citizenship and boss OF
the works they hold today and other
wise to make the procession the most
gorgeous and imposing in the history
Of the movement
1t was at about this stage of the
proceedings that Major Sylvester. chief
Of the Washington police. got himself
distinctly disliked. The major refused
police protection to the parade. After
the resulting storm had subsidized sui
ficiently so that he could get In a word
edgewise he rather lamely explained
that he thought the parade was to be
held at night and be could not prom.
ise to protect the fair marchers from
offensive remarks and hoodlums. But
If IL was intended to hold ii In the
daytime that was altogether differ
ent matter. Ahem! While the major
was thus wishing. hurriedly IL not
gracefully, various gallant men volun-
teered to form guard for the fair
procession, and ii was limited that II
necessary President Taft, who will
still be on the job on March 3. would
call out the troops as protection.
Awed Into Silence.
The suffragists on their part did not
think they needed any mere masculine
guard. They would have parade so
imposing that the chance hoodlums
lurking along the streets would be
awed into silence. Moreover, they
could depend on the chivalry of Amer
lean men. The women were quite able
to protect themselves, thank you!
At about this time came news Of re-
