ommend that regular practice be made
of making silage out of clover instead OF
curing il as hay, but il is certainly the
thing to do in case of emergency. Glow
err is a crop which must be properly
cured If it is to make good hay. inns
curing process neeessitates favorable
haying season which fate does not al
ways provide. Ii cutting Is delayed on
account of long rainy season 1t IS apt
to get too ripe and If it is cut 1t is apt
to spoil before it can be put in the barn.
In such an emergency the best way out,
believe, is to make use OF the silo,
was well enough satisfied with my ex.
perience last season so that ] will re-
peat it this year if there is unfavorable
having weather when the clover is ready
to harvest.
Many farmers in states where rain p
uncertain do not raise more clover be-
cause they have to take such a risk in
getting it cured. IL might pay them to
have silos especially for preserving the
crop. Several college experiments indi-
cate clover silage has the same feeding
value as clover hay, If not slightly beta
ter.
In a Montana bulletin published last
summer. noticed they have been com.
pairing clover silage with clover hay, but
not directly with corn silsge. The ex-
perienee covers three years work and in
each of them the silage has compared
favorably with the hay, although in some
cases the silage did not seem to have a
fair trial. Ten cows were used in the
experiments and they were fed for 10
weeks. The first half of the period FIVE
cows were fed clover silage and the 9TH
er half clover hay with timothy and
grain as supplement. During the last
half of the experiment the five cows
which had the silage were given hay
and those that had the hay were given
silage. The reversing was to overcome
the effect of the individuality OF the
cows
On the clover silage ration, taking an
average of three years, the cost of pro-
ducing pound of fat was It's cents,
while on the clover hay IL was l7.9 cents.
With the silage 100 pounds of milk cost
73.4 cents and with the hay the same
amount of milk cost 1879 cents. There
was not enough difference to give the
preference to either form, but the impor-
tant point was that clover silage held its
own. This consideration might mean the
difference between saving the clover crop
and losing it in rainy season. Clover
silage seems to have feeding value
equal to clover hay and If this is true
il must have much superior value to
spoiled clover hay, which results from
too much rain at harvest time. Milk
production was greatest on clover silage
at the station mentioned. the daily aver
age being 240s pounds as against 22.s
pounds on clover hay. The report says
the cows relished the clover silage eS-
cept late in the spring when the weather
got warm. 1t took 2.33 pounds of clover
silage to equal one pound of good clover
hay.

pAsruRING WORK HORSES.
Not Good Practice, Except for Run
down Animal.

Whether or not it is advisable to turn
work horses on pasture at night ana
over Sundays depends upon circum.
stances writes c. II. w. in the Rural
New Yorker. As rule 1t is best not
to do so until the heavier work OF spring
is over and the grass becomes more nu-
tritious than it is in early spring. Ii
the horses are turned out before this
time when the grass is very young and
tender and the nights are cool, and then
worked hard during the day they are
sure TO loose flesh and be unfit for the
seasons work. Some farmers pasture
their horses and depend entirely on the
grass to furnish their feed, but my ex-
perience has been that horse that has
done days work in the field should
have rest at night and not be compelled
to work extra for his board at night. A
horse cannot be expected to give good
service when this is done.
II the work is not too heavy 1t IS
very profitable practice to allow the
horses to run on pasture. Inc horse
that is allowed the run of pasture viii
be saft and cannot begin to stand eth
or as much work or as hot weather as
the animal that is kept in and fed on
dry feeds. If pasture is good and the
work rather light the horse can soon get
quite a meal on grass and then lay down
for good nights rest. In the morn
ing al daybreak he win be up and after
taking good roll, which is equal to a
careful grooming, will eat the grass
again.
II the horses are idle for day or
two 4 is very poor policy to leave them
ON pasture all of the time to shift for
themselves to fight the flies. 1t is Meth
or good for the horses or the pasture,
The way we do is to put the horses up

o. r. Clayton, editor of the London
derry Sitter, who represented his town
in the legislature two years ago and was
classed as Progressive, now announces
that he is Republican candidate for
senator from Windham county. Is the
Republican party going to be more pop
ular than it was two years ago ?--Lyn-
donville Union-Journal,
Possibly Editor Clayton was classed as
a member of the Progressive party, but
the sketch of him as published in the
official "Vermont Legislative Directory
and presumably prepared by himself, as
almost all those articles are, gives his
politics as Republican with capital R
That being the case, Editor Clayton
appeal to the Republican voters at the
present time is not such an imposition
on that party as it might seem if it
were taken for fact that he considered
himself Progressive two years ago
Politics aside, however, it would seem
that Windham county would make q
pretty good choice if it should send Mr.
Clayton TO Montpelier as senator.

early in the morning and give them a
feed of grain and hay and then keep
them in the barn until evenf g, when
they are turned out again. THIS plan is
followed only when they are idle or
their work is light; when they are work
ing we keep them in the barn, or on hot
nighCs they have access to lot, and
feed them we'll on dry, nutritious feed
If horses that are worked hard through
the week are pastured on Sunday they
are sure to eat more of the green grass
than is good for them. We very orren
turn them out for a part OF the day,
rarely over half day, but are always
sure to have them in by evening, so
that they can have their regular evening
feed and nights rest and be ready for
work on Monday morning.
For horse that is run down In con-
dition there is nothing so good as pas
turing. A horse that is just enough out
OF order that he cannot stand the work
we'll. or that he does not sweat freely
or that he refuses to shed well may be
greatly benefited by being pastured at
night and worked only little during
the day. A sucking mare is also kept
in good condition on pasture, for grass
is easily digested and is the horses nat
ural feed. For the hard working horse
however, only an occasional run on the
pasture and then for short time only
il beneficial. He must have more sub
stantial food and good rest at night.

Newspapers Blamed for High Prices o
Food.

G. II. Candy, president of Chicago's
Board of Trade, has fixed the RESPONSE
bility for the current high prices OF food
stuffs. He says; "The newspapers print
stories of the increased prices and that
causes every merchant to ask more for
his wares. ! see nothing for the govern
ment to investigate"
The important part of Mr. Canby's
statement is the last sentence. In 1T he
tells very succinetly why he does not
like the newspapers.
1t is amusing TO hear Mr.. Canby's eS.
PLANTATION of high prices. Newspapers,
through their advertising columns and
their news stories, bring all prices into
comparison, They tell what is being
charged for foodstuffs at all the different
stores in ones home city, They tell by
their wire reports and market letters
what is being charged in various parts OF
the country and various corners OF the
globe
A newspaper brings together, stimuli
taneous quotations from every source
and leaves the reader to pick the lowest
in making his purchase. And this, says
Mr.. Candy, tends to raise prices. One
dealer. seeing what another is quoting
raises his price so as to be higher than
his competitor! Thus reasons the presi-
dent of Chicago's Board of Trade
If what Mr.. Candy says is right, then
all competition should be rigidly sup
pressed, for competition encourages each
merchant TO try to make his prices high
er than the other mans.
All newspapers should be rigidly cen
sored by the government so as to ex-
clude all mention of prices on any food
stuffs, articles of clothing, or other ne
cessities Of life, according to Mr.. Canby's
logic. Only by keeping the public in abb
solute darkness as to what prices are
being charged through the country, can
dealers be induced to lower the price OF
food.
ANY newspaper editor daring to sug.
gest that high prices are robbery should
be sent to Jail for 80 years.
ANY newspaper editor presuming to
point out that record breaking crops,
closed markets abroad, and the cessation
of commerce make high prices an eco
nomic crime, should be hanged.
The country should be turned over TO
the canny Mr.. Candy and men of his ilk
who understand these little things and
will fix prices where they ought to be-

CLOVER IN THE SHAGE
Not to Be Recommended, Except in an
Emergency.

Although last summer was very dry
and there was not rain enough for good
crops. we got caught with lot OF clover
down az an unfavorable time; instead
of irving to make hay out of il we put
il in the silo. adding little water to
make sure of il having enough moisture
10 keep well, writes w. j. Lawrence IN
Hoard's Dariyman. When put IN, the
silo was empty. In the fall we finished
filling the silo with cern, packing 1t on
top OF the clover.
IL was about the middle OF February
before the clover was used and was
onto interested to see how it had kept
and how the stock would eat it. While
thew ate it rather indifferently the first
few DAYS. their appetite soon became
used 10 The change. and they seemed to
relish il as well as they did the corn
silape. I thought one reason why they
did not eat il so freely at first was be
cause the top portion was not so well
preserved As that farther down. At any
rate. they did not hesitate 10 eat It after
the first few days. Some hay was LED
along with the silage but not much.
I have no exact figures showing the
results. but there was not much differ
ence in the milk production. A slightly
decreased weld was noticed the first few

Because of the suspected bias of the
war reports coming from the various
countries engaged, the New York Sun
has seen fit to label each despatch OF
consequence as coming from such and
such country, thus giving the readers
of the published dispatches chance to
discount the reports if they see fit to do
so. 1t is not very satisfactory condi-
ton OF affairs when nations distort the
facts to make what influence they can
on the mind of the world and to gain
whatever temporary prestige there might
come from reported success. Time will
tell the truth, however, albeit the world
may have to wait some time for the
historian to cooperate with time.
