WHERE WAS KAISER WHEN
 WAR WAS DECLARED?

Chris jana. -W Whether the kaiser Is most to blame for the world wide war or not, 1t Is a fact that h. was sojourning peacefully in a Norwegian ford when the crises arose.
 The story of how he received the news that great events were impending was told here today by one of the pilots who was aboard the Hohenzollern. the Prussian royal yacht at the time.
 The yacht was at Balholln, one of the most picturesque of the long deep arms of the sea pene- trating the coast, Saturday July 24.
 The day before, the Kaiser had been fishing for trout and had been very successful. He had or dered the trout cooked as part of a banquet which he was giving to POO persons, mostly Norwegian friends.
 It was arranged that the yacht and the squadron of forty war  vessels which had been maneuver-

 Europe was ready for war, tn powder train having been laid by the preceding quarter of cen tury of militarism, the piling up of fleets and armies. Emperor Francis Joseph only touched the fuse when he issued his ultima tum to Servia regarding the pun ishment of the Servian assassin and the running down of possible aceomplices.
 Servia had already made eX- planation and had done all that she could. and when Austria con tinued to threaten she looked to her cousins in Russia for aid. Russia began to mobilize her arm ies: the kaiser of Germany, Aus tria s ally, saw the mobilization from afar and demand the reason. Then ultimatums went to Englano and France to call to the colOrs was sounded throughout the in- censed countries. and in a twink ling Germany and France, to whom were speedily added the intrepid Belgians, flaming with indignation at the violation of their neutraHy by the German kaiser.
 And today these countries, which month ago were peaceful fields and scenes of commerce dHu dPIIeGltdIt d1lG dl dtltt ool ence, are armed camps of vast battlefields, where passion is at high tide and the spirit of mur- der rides with an unchecked rein.
 And in his splendid palace in Vienna, Francis Joseph, it may be the last of the IIapsburg rulers looks on at the dreadful conflict and takes stock of his share of the blame.

OLD IN YEARS AND SORROW

Among the figures that loom gigantic through the battle smoke of this titanic war, Francis Jo- seph, emperor of Austria, is the most pathetic. He is old in years, old in war, old in sorrows.
 On the 30th of this month he will be S4 years old, having been born in Berlin on that day, 1880. That is a long life path for q man to travel in peace and se- renity; how much longer it must seem to one who has carried the pack of diversity and eaten of the bread of bitterness.
 He Is the oldest living monarch in the world, having ascended the throne in 184S, before many Of the other royal participants in this war were born. His great age and his long reign should hay made him the most courteously Y treated monarch in Europe, q nestor in international affairs, d ;referee in across-boundary dis putes. Wisdom should have come from experience, and a softenlng quality from his sorrows that would have made him the ideal arbiter.
 For not only have war losses and state affairs often filled him with sadness. but tragedy has marked him for her own i'll his family life. First, when he was still young. came the shooting of his brother, Maximilllan, made emperor of Mexico by the French, who had interfered in that coun- try. The story of the young en- peror $ death shocked all Europe, but touched his brother Francis Joseph to the heart.
 Francis Joseph had married Princess Elizabeth Amalie Flu genie, cousin to the king of Ba- varia. and the second great trag- edy came when their son. Crown Prince Rudolph, was mysterious ly slain while visiting at Myer- lin. The sorrow of 1t bowed the emperor to the dust.
 And yet fate had not dealt its worst blow, for ten years ago, during the celebration of their golden wedding jubilee, his wife, an old woman-too old to be the object of hatred-was assasslnat- ed.
 After those sorrowful days the aged and broken emperor center ed his hopes on Archduke Franc is Ferdinand, heir to his throne. X few months ago fanatieal Servian youth shot to death the archduke and his wife while they were in Belgium, and the old em-  peror was left desolate.

RIPENING OF CORN.
Deep Cultivation Causes Delay Ia
Maturing.

Maturing.
It has been observed by farmers
that deep cultivation delays the. ripen-
ing OF corn. A trial was made at the
North Dakota Experiment Station Of
cultivating some of the corn in q
field shallow and that next to 1t deep.
It was found that the shallow Gull
tivated corn ripened first.
This is not hard to understand,
when it is recalled that the plant
does mostso its growing in the sur
face soil. The plant sends its roots
as near the surface as the soil is
moist. When the corr is cultivated
deep, its roots are cut and it has to
grow new ones. @E
Anyone can easily find out how
deep the corn roots 60 by digging
around the corn plant. It will sur.
prise many to find how near the sur.
face the roots doscome. and also to
hnd how long they are:-North pa,

PLANTING and CARING
FOR THE W|NDBREAK
Width Of Shelter Belt Has Much
to Do With Efficiency.
VARIOUS KINDS OF TREESUSED

The width Of a windbreak has much
to do, not only with its efficiency in
checking the wind, but in the matter
of the growth of the trees them
selves.
A single tree or row. of trees plant
ed on the open prairie cannot sue
coed as we'll as a mass Of trees. This
is true of all trees suited for grove
or windbreak purposes. Trees graw-
ing in a mass protect each other and
furnish the shade that keeps the soil
mellow and moist and prevents the
growth Of grass and weeds. The
broader the belt of trees the more
perfectly this is accomplished. On
the other hand, If the shelter belt Is
made more than about two rods in
width 1t will be necessary to plant a
single row Of willows four or five
rods to the north to prevent the snow
from piling in and breaking down the
trees that go to make up the wind
break. The one shown above, grown
at the North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton, consists Of golden Russian viii
low on the north, elm on the south,
while the intervening rows are of
green ash and soft maple. The wind
break Is seventeen years old and
twenty-seven feet high. The willows
have been cut back from time to time
to furnish cuttings.
The elms have been kept trimmed
for appearances sake, but the rest Of
the trees have been allowed to de-
velop branches as low down as they
would. The growth was too dense
to allow cultivation after five years.
The trees at planting time were two
year-old. seedlings that had been dis
carded as too crooked and scrubby to
plant In q grove. They were set IN
burrows made with a walking pillow
and cultivated as long as possible.
This may be considered a good type
Of windbreak for the eastern part Of
the Dakotas. Further west it might
be safer to plant box elder In place
Of the soft maple and oleaster In
place Of the willow, the ash still to be
planted as the principal tree q;
AS a after Of fact, all the trees
mentioned are hardy enough and II
the man planting them will give them
the same care that nature does, by
providing a mellow, moist soil. his
windbreaks will comfort him till the
end Of his days.

SIZE ii s:il0 m
PROPORTION TO HERD.
Important Factor in Planning
the Structure.
AVERAGE QUANTITY NEEDED

In planning the silo it is important
to have the capacity, which Is govern
ed largely by the diameter Of the silo,
in proportion to the size Of the herd,
for when silage is fed from the sur
face at the rate of two or more
inches per day very little loss will
occur by fermentation even in hot
weather. 1t Is advantageous, fire.
quently, to build two silos, one for
winter and another for summer. The
deep narrow silo gives the best grade
of silage, since more inches will be
fed daily with less exposure.
In North Dakota the average length
of time that silage may be fed profit
ably to cattle ordinarily is from Sep
TENDER until May, or $40 days. 1t is
an excellent plan to supplement the
pastures during the summer with corn
silage, especially in dry seasons. For
this purpose 1t is we'll either to build
the silo large enough to furnish sill
age during the entire year or to have
a large for winter and q smaller
one for summer.
The quantity. Of silage fed to the
average dairy cow per day is about
forty pounds, which would amount to
nearly five tons for the period Of 240
days. With beef cattle q somewhat
smaller amount is usually fed. It is
a satisfactory roughage for sheep and
may be fed with advantage to idle
horses in winter. It has the effect Of
softening work horses the same as
grass. For hogs silage has little. val
ue. They will eat the grain and chew
some of the stalks, but consume too
little to make it q profitable feed for
them. It makes good %succu1ent win
ter feed for poultry, especially when
made Of alfalfa or clover.
If the stock are to be fed silage dur
ing summer when o n pasture, one
would need to allow about twenty
pounds per day to supplement the
grass. This would amount to an add.
tional ton and a half per head; max
ing a total Of six and a half tons per
year for each cow.-North Dakota
Experiment Station. 40

FEEDING 1 AMONTR-OLD CHICK
Birds at That Age Well Able 70 Care
for Themselves.

When the chicks are q month old
they are well able to care for them
selves and it will be. found preferable
to place them where they can have
all the range and shade possible. Dur
ing the summer the chicks on the
North Dakota Experiment Station
grounds are placed in small colony
houses in a cottonwood and box elder
grove adjoining the poultry house.
From fifty to seventy-ffVe chicks are
put in each house and the focks are
allowed to run where they please.
The houses are far enough apart 60
that NO difficulty is experienced In the
focks mixing at feeding time. A
small ~inclosure, made by stretching
four-foot poultry netting around the
trees, serves as a feeding yard and
prevents the older stock from con.
Stunning the feed thrown to the chicks.
The plan OF feeding the growing
chicks does mot differ materially from
that Of feeding the hens. The grain

fed whole is coarsely ground.T Two

that there was a considerable reduc-
ton In the number Of wild oats upon
the land. The yield of rye obtained
in the fall of 1913 a 14.57 bushels
per acre.
Another trial was made upon land
that had grown a crop Of peas and
oats out for hay in 1912, and a
second growth Of oats was left stand
ing to protect the rye. This plat was
sowed at the same rate Of seeding
and upon the same date as the rye
upon ground that had grown wheat in
1912. yet the yield was somewhat low

DO Not overfeed Calves.

The young calf should never be
overfed. It's stomach is not large.
and the ordinary calf should not have
more than a pint and a half OF two
pints of milk at a feeding when very
young. That is n advantage in
leaving 1t with the COW for a day or
two. It feeds when it needs to and
It does not overfeed.
