Entire Valley Looks Good

After the ball game at the
Mission last Sunday, the writer
and wife took a ride with F. j.
White and wife to Ravalli and
Dixon, returning home by way
of the Moiese valley and Round
Butte. There are rome excellent
fields of grain all the way. Be-
tween here and st. Ignatius the
crops look fine, and between
Ravalli and Dixon the grain is
commencing to ripen and harvest
will be in progress now in a short
time. Some fields in the Moiese
are also turning and the farmers
there will be harvesting soon.
The straw in Moiese is short but
it looks like they would have a
better crop this year than any
heretofore. The big bitches of
the reclamation have been con-
structed and while the appropri-
alton ran out before the work had
progressed sufficiently far to sup
ply them with water this year, it
really looks like they might get
water for next season. With
water, the Moiese will be a
garden. The soil will stand irri-
cation better than any land on
the Flathead and with the num-
Der of farms there, should be a
delightful place to live. From
Crow creek north and into town
the grain fields look good. Most
every farmer will have a good
crop, in fact indications now are
that it will be the record breaker.
Some pieces were soWn rather
late but with favorable weather
from now on will make a yield
Water was standing in the road
most all the way, showing that
showers and good rains had Wis
tied them only a short time be-
fore.
The ride was a delightful one,
being made in record time and
aside from the steep hill leading
out of Grow creek the roads were
splendid, although Mr.. White
says they have had so much rain
in Moiese this year that the roads
are the worst now that he ever
saw there. But the farmers of
Moiese are not complaining, that
anyone has heard Of.
One thing which attracted
notice was the fact that
almost every farmer has lots of
stock, COWS. hogs and horses,
about his place. Many hogs
We're seen in the pastures and
this indicates that stock raising
will take the place of grain haul
ing. 1t is a splendid sign.

The Archduke Ferdinand of
Austria, heir apparent to the
throne, and his inorganic wife,
the Princess of Hohenberg, were
assassinated in Serajevo, Bosnia,
on June q. Both were shot and
died shortly after being taken to
their palace. The archduke was
shot in the face and the princess
through the throat and abdomen.
Bombs were thrown first, which
did no damage, after which they
were shot. The assassin gave
the name of Prinzip and his age
at Is, a student. An accomplice
named Gabrinovich threw the

AND CAPACITY

Inc SllO mas arrived. IL mas
been on the way for a long time.
But tried here and there, it has
become attached to beef and
dairy farms, in every instance
paying it's way and in many
cases turning the farming oper-
ations from loss to profit. When
feeds were low in price, labor
less costly, live stock values less,
the silo although appreciated,
was not accorded the honor that
it's Importance demanded. How
different today! Our best dairy
men would as leave attempt to
produce milk profitably without
the aid of the silo as to produce
milk without the aid of legumes,
or of well-bred dairy COWS, or of
concentrated feeds. To the
dairyman the silo is indispens-
able.
And today the beef men are
taking their cue from the dairy
men and going to the silo for
answer as to the most profitable
way of producing beef. It did
not take many tests to show that
silage is as valuable for padding
the loins of the steer as making
full the udders of the cows. So,
too, the testimony of the dairy
man now becomes the testimony
of the beef men, and silage be-
comes the fundamental corner
stone Of cheap beef. Take an
acre of corn and cure it in the
old way and feed this in any way
you will with legumes, concen-
trates or other home grown
roughages and you get less beef
or milk than if you were to take
that same acre or similar acre
and store its product in the silo
and dole out tested feeds from
day to day to either milk COW or
beef steer. The story is the
same; bigger yields in flesh or
milk, cheaper gains from feed
consumed. Furthermore, for
sheep and horses silage is gain
ing favor and has found a place
in the rations of each. Practical
feeders have learned that no
danger hides in we'll preserved
silage for any class Of live stock.
For winter rations silage gives
a desirable succulence that can
be obtained IN no other way, and
this succulence manifests itself
in better health, better coats,
easier keeping.
The making of silage is a SIM
pile thing. You grow corn just
as you would grow it for other
purposes. After you have had
experience with the crop you
may be led to choose some typical
silage variety, or perhaps plant
the corn more thickly in the row,
but either is a mere incident. Of
course, you seek the highest
yield obtainable under the cir
cumstances, and thickness of
planting, kind of seed, each has
has it's part to play, and the
sturdier, heavier yielding fodder
varieties will naturally in time be
accorded their proper place. So,
also, will some Of the legume
crops like soy beans and alfalfa
be admitted in the combination
for balance of the silage. The
addition of alfalfa and soy beans
adds to the protein content, and
therefore assists in balancing the
ration, so that a more equitable
supply Of the various nutrients
may be secured. These are like
wise incidents of the silage
habit. On some farms these
supplements will be used, on
many they are used already, but
the universal custom of combin-
ing legumes with the corn silage

SMITH NOT FOR HASKELL
Says Former Lieutenant Gov

The Anderson Intelligencer which
is neutral on the Senatorial race,
publishes the following:
When in Anderson recently Sena-
tor E D Smith was asked if he vot-
ed for Judge A C Haskell for Gov
ernor in 1890. The Senator replied
that at Orangeburg he had made a
declaration any fair-minded man
would have accepted, to the effect
that he did not attend the conven-
ton which nominated Judge Has,
kell as an independent candidate to
oppose B R Tillman for Governor.
As to voting for Judge Haskell,
the Senator said he did not have
time to be answering the campaign
yarns being circulated against him
but if anybody wished to know the
information could be obtained from
his neighbors in Lee county, and ne
gave as one the name Thos
G Mcleod, for four years ..ieuten-
ant Governor of the State. In reply
to an inquiry from this paper,
prompted by curiosity and by re-
quests from others, Mr. Mcleod
writes:
