Editor News:
Possibly some of our old Adair
county friends would like to hear
from this part of the country,
where the sun shines and wild
flowers bloom in January, though
we had a little ice and frost the
first part of the month, which
put things back a little, but
things are coming right along
now.
There are lots of vegetables
and fruits being shipped North
now. We can see train loads of
it pass over the sea boards Rail
Road every day. Some days
there are four sections Of one
train with fruit and vegetable
alone.
Maxville is an infant town yet
only three years old, but has
three stores and new one being
built a good school with two
teachers. butcher shop, feed mill
and two saw mills.
awe have organized an improve
ment league for the purpose of
improving public high ways. Two
days in each month the citizens
meet and work bringing their
teams and tools, and it is sure
making goodEwhere the work is
being done. 1t don't take bonds
or high road tax if everybody
will turnout with full force and
work. If every neighborhood in
the good old Adair county will
organize an improvement League
and set out to build roads in five
years there will be good hard
road all over the county.
So let the News keep coming
it is just like getting letter
from home.
Yours very truly,
O. B. Finn.

KEEPING SWINE

the sleeping quarters on raised piece

and Valuable Feed.
Accurate data regarding the value
of silage i'm a ration for fatteuiLg
sheep and lambs are scarce. but what
there are indicate that it is useful, saws
Ellis Roll of the University OF Ne
braska. AS far back as the early nine
ties the Michigan experiment station
fed some lambs on silage and other
fOOdstuffs The giSt of their findings
is to the effect that a mixture Of
folders composed largely of q good
quality of silIge proved cheap and
successful ration for fattening lambs,
The Iowa station at Ames made
some comparative tests Of dry hays,
roots and Sflage as rOughage in 1906
and 1907. In lots fed the first winter
the silage cheapened the ration cOnsit-
erably. During the second winter the
various lots were fed for a long period,
1GS days, and the silage lot refused TO
eat much siIage. They ate almost as
much grain and hay as the other lot
did and the gain on these Silage lambs
was more expensive than was tEaC

years was favorable 70 the use Of
silage rs Il means of cheapenin@ rke

dressed CarcISseS showed the Sila-a
lambs "a little superior on the hook
Taking these few experiments tbeG
into consideration and also the Ce.-
eraI results which various feeders have
obtained in practical work. it seems
that Silage has an important place
among desirable and economical feeds
for fatteninG sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can he
fed to sheep with satisfactory results
The Use Of mOidy or frozen sjlaEe mag

silage can be used with excellent re-
suits. either as q Succu,ent food fJr

for fIttenin" sheep and lambs. This
opinion is based partially OF OBSERVE

and partially on the experiments CgCJ-
ed above. The results to date point
toward SilI"e Us a cheap and valuable

Danger In FEEDING Salt.

There is considerable danger in feed
ing salt to ewes just before lambing
time. Many cases have been known
where abortion has been traced direct
ly to the use of salt during this period.
Sheep must have salt and plenty of it.,
but this is one time during the life cy-
Gle when it should be withheld. Not
only have bad results been noticed
from the feeding of salt. but when
sheep have been fed a liberal supply
of beets or turnips abortion has been
more prevalent than otherwise This
is attributed to the fact that there is
more salt in these feeds than in others

ed by washing or dipping the hog in

RATION FOR EWES IN LAMB.
Alfalfa Hay With Corn Makes an Ex-
ceIIent Winter Feed.

Thousands OF ewes carrying lambs
are successfully fed in this country
every winter with no other feed than
good bright alfalfa hay, says the Na-
tiOnal Stockmau However. i vii. 30
no harm,. ana it may be well TO give
these ewes light ration of CORE jn
addition to the hay, especially rs they
approach Iambiug time. If the ewes
are young they will do as well On the
whole corn as if it is ground.
In a large sized flock. however, some
ewes will not have the best of teeth.
and it will be well to crack the cOrR-
but it should be coarse. Sheep Ike
corn in this condition much better
than the meal. Start with quarter
of Il pound of corn per eve per day OC
even less and increase TO a half pound
as lambing time approaches. If the
ewes are westerns that have not tast-
ed corn start with but a few grains
per eve daily until they learn 60 eat
it. Give all the alfalfa hay they viii
eat up clean. Supply plenty Of fresh
water that is so clean you yourself
would drink it, Give salt regularly.
and it would be advisable to use 4
good medicated salt.

Purdy.

1t seems that every thing is
moving along nicely in our vi
cinity. The weather has just
been so nice that the fear of
winter was almost over, and the
fear of the panic being almost or
quite over, all forms of business
have resumed its proper attitude
seemingly.
The railroad is coming. We
hope so at least, while we fear
that it might be like the Irish
mans bull frog. One time there
were two Irishmen passing a
pond, and their attention was
suddenly attracted by something
like the following "Beraum, be-
raum, beraum. So after the
Irishman looked around in ev-
cry nook and corner, and finding
no frog, he just remarked to his
brother, Pat, Faith and be
Christ, it was nothing but a

Wheat as a Cattle Feed,

siderable grain is required. Steers can
not consume enough of the ordinary
roughage to lay on much fat. While
corn is generally considered almost in
dispensable in finishing stock for mar
ket. wheat can be used very satisfac-
tOrily as a substitute. Owing to the
fact that the grains Of wheat are small
and hard it is necessary to grind it in
order to secure the best results.

Cinder path fans watched with in

IL was with somewhat of a feeling
that the team was going at too strong
a clip to figure in the championships,
which, after all, was the meet OF
the trip. Therefore, first-hand infor.
nation from the manager showing
just how the boys figured against the
well-known athletes of the Antipodes
is, indeed, welcome.
The meeting is held every two
years for the Australasian champion

conditions" says Peixotto. IF an
American won the event, he would be

event would be scored by the second

BALL SERIES
GETTING WARM
lNTERIsLAND LEAGUE.

It looks now as though the inter
island baseball championship would re-
solve itself into one grand. final bat
tile between the AIl-Seryice and Oahu
teams when they met in the last game
Of the series. Sunday. March %. This
I Is looking quite ways ahead, for
each team has one game to play be-
fore that date. but taking baseball
dope for what it's worth, the soldiers
should be able to account for the Puma
hous next Saturday, while it will be
the biggest surprise of the season II
the Asahis take the measure Of Oahu.
II things come out this way. and the
All-Seryice and Oahu teams meet In
the final game with four straight wins
and no losses each, the game will be
a fitting wind-up to an exceptionally
interesting series.
Predictions of the fans that the Asa
his would either be very good or very
bad, were borne out by Sundays
game, when the soldiers ran up such
a score that the game became joke.
The battle between the Oahus and
Punahous was quite a different story,
and 1t took IL innings to decide the
question of superiority. Judged on
this showing. the soldiers have the
hardest row to hoe to cultivate q
championship club. for their meeting
with the Puns next Saturday is like
ly to be fight from start to finish.
1t will mean much to army baseball
lie the All-Service team can carry off
the inter-island trophy. for the organi
zaticn and maintenance of the club
has been marked by some stormy
times. To begin with. the soldiers
were not originally included in the
series. and went In at the 18th hour
to replace Kauai. when public opinion
was strong for their representation.
Then 1t became a continual fight be-
tween those who were trying to boost
the team along. and give the army
the best possible club, and several
company commanders who resented
having non-coms ordered away from
their organizations for baseball duty.
However, the team was held together,
and is getting better as it goes along.
If the soldiers beat AL Castles anna
teurs. and the Oahus win from the
Asahis, then look out for the fireworks
on March %.
