SiIo Furnishes Feed Insurance

Coarse roughages and silo are "a
mong the best means of cheapening
production and increasing the live
stock carrying capacity of Kansas
farms. The records of all countries
that increased production of livestock
and improvement of the soil are
closely related. The soils in many
sections of the state are not so pro-
ductive as they once were. This is
due to large extent to the exclusive
production of grain or the growing of
single, crop such as wheat or corn
on the same land from year to year.
The maintaining of the fertility of
the land is essential to the happiness
and prosperity of any farm community
and the system of farming that does
not do this cannot be successful, says
Turner Wright in the Farmers Mail
and Breeze.
The silo furnishes cheap and
efficient means of storing and pre-
serving feed that would otherwise go
to waste in the fields. 1t is estimated
that from 80 to 40 per cent of the
feeding value of corn or kafir stover

dress to the class, which vas much
appreciated. The evenings program
was brought to a close with bene-
diction by Rev. @. NJ Reed.
This was one of the largest High
school classes that has graduated for
some time, numbering twentyfour.
Their names will appear at the close
of this article. On Friday, May 22nd,
the usual field day sports and ball
games took place and on Saturday
evening, May 22nd, the faculty gave
a reception at the home of Professor
J. H. Neisley, which brought to a
close the program for the week. The
young people have done excellent
much praise. The teachers and
principal are also to be congratulated
upon their faithful work and helpful
influence. Trego county is justly
proud of her High school and as each
year rolls around it seems that more
efficient and perfect results are being
attained, and the boys and girls are
going out well equipped to enter into
larger and better things. The names

is wasted when cured in the field.
Stored in the silo only from three to
five per cent is lost in the process of
fermentation. Another advantage of
the silo lies in the fact that in times
of drouth or late seasons feeds that
will not mature sufficiently to be
cured can be stored and saved. Again
in those seasons when their is an a.
bundance of feed the silo can be filed
as an insurance against a possible
shortage in an unfavorable year.
Silage will keep just as long as it is
not exposed to the air.
1t is important, however, that the
man who would build silo should
understand the limitations of Silage
and it's value as a feed. Much has
been written on the importance of
building sIlos, the kind of silo to
builo and how to make silage, but
too little is known of the Importance
of knowing how to feed it, Some ex-
travagant claims have been made as
to the merits of this feed, and many
men have been led to believe it the
cure of all farm ills. Men have paid
high prices for silage only to be disap-

was most helpful and inspiring
Professor Neisley in a few well
chosen words presented the diplomas.
Mr.. Neisley has the happy faculty Of
saying things well and to the point
and in this instance in no wise dissa-
pointed his hearers. Rev. S. L. Alli-
son pronounced the benediction,
which brought the program to a hap
py closing.
One of the very pleasing features
of the day was the Hays Normal band
which furnished excellent music
throughout the day. The boys were
a gentlemanly lot of fellows and
made an excellent impression on the
Wa-Keeney people. Another pleasant
feature of the day was the picnic at
noon on the lawn inEthe court house
yard. a large number pagtook and
everyone seemed to have a fne time.
Many say it is the largest crowd
both in the court room and ION the
grounds that has ever assem- biea,s be-
ing made almost entirely of Trego
county people. The day was a splen
did success throughout, and County
superintendent Miss Stradal is GER
rainly to be congratulated upon the
splendid way in which she planned
and managed the entire affair, for it
certainly did her credit from begin
ming to end.

On Wednesday, May Goth, the

Last Saturday afternoon the COM

the Court House at l: 30 O'Clock The
room was beautifully decorated in
red and white bunting and red roses

had passed away at the ripe old age
of ninety-one years. He was a veteran
of the Mexican war losing a limb
while soldier in that country. At
ter 1866 Mr.. Harlan did not see bis
father again until four years ago,
when family reunion was held and
the children of the old gentleman all
went to see him, his wife having died
at the beginning of the civil war. He
then felt his time was growing short

precincts.
The number of names required and
allowed is from three per. cent to ten
per cent of the vote cast for your
candidate for secretary of state at the
election of 1912. Or in case of a new
party the same percentage of the vote
cast for the successful candidate.
The voter who signs nominating
petition declares that he is member
of the political party named in the
petition. However, he makes no
promise to do so.
The signer of nominating petition
declares that he has not signed the
petition of any other candidate for
the same office and further declares
that he will not sign another.
The signers on any given petition
must all live in the same precinct
The person who circulates the petit
tion and makes the affidavit may live
in different precinct.
A democrat may circulate petit
tion for republican, and vice versa,
if he feels that way. Most of 'em
don't.
One who circulates a petition does
not have to declare to what party he
belongs but in his affidavit he does
declare that he intends to support
the candidate named in the petition.
One who circulates petition must
be a voter and have the legal right to
vote for the candidate named in the
petition but he may circulate petit
tions in any or all of the precincts
concerne1 in the election of the can
didate.
This nominating petition feature
of our election law seems to be a
rather embarrassing nuisance for all
concerned. Voters in general do not
like to put themselves on record in
black and white several months in
advance of election, not knowing
what other candidates may~yet ap-
pear. Men hesitate to circulate pc
petionS for candidates for the same
reasons and for the further reason
that they may meet with rebuffs and
refusals to sign all of which affects
candidates in the same humilating
way. One of the oldest residents of
the county, highly respected citizen
of the east side, remarked one day
any candidate for the legislature who
would not pledge himself to work for
the repeal of the nominating petition
nuisance.

Cows Are Necessary.

Every farmer should have two cows
because milk, cream and butter are
table and household necessity in every
farm home. Four more cows will re-
quire little more time and labor to
feed, milk and care for them than
that required for two. Six cows make
dairying part of the commercial
business Of farming while two or
three cows are too often considered a
chore and become a neglected side
line. Six cows on most farms can be
kept as easily and almost as cheaply
as two. The cost of additional stable
room and dairy equipment is but lit
tie. With a Two COW dairy, an in
vestment in a cream, sepat0r may be
considered impossible while with six
comes necessity and more and bet
ter cream is obtained The gain be-
ing about ten dollars COW year A
two COW dairy will require churning
at least twice week and six COWS
will not require any more work If
cream is sold, two cows will not war.
want an extra trip to town to market
the cream while six cows will bring
in cash income of from 81 to 81 SO a
day. Six good cows will return in
cash at least $40 each year for but
ter or cream and also supply all the
milk, cream and butter required for
family of five or six. They will
each produce 1000 pounds of skim
milk worth 25 cents hundred, there
by adding another 80 to the value of
their product, says the Farmers Mail
and Breeze.
Each cow also will produce a calf
which when eight weeks old is worth
at present prices another $40 We
then have $50 as the value of the pro-
duction of each COW not counting the
value of manure which is worth at
least $5 COW. The six cows can be
counted upon to bring in an income
of at least 81 day. A pretty good
income for the half hour labor in the
morning and again at night in caring
for them and milking each day This
is 81 for one hours work with the
dairy herd. If every other hour put
in by the farmer would bring him an
income of half as much, farming
would indeed be a most profitable
business. Six cows surely add a big
profit to farming
