Decline Of Hogs on the Farm.
Although the estimated number of
swine on farms January /. 1914, 49,
933, 1000, was 1.3 per cent more than
the census number for 1910, the de-
cline from 1913 was 81 per cent. This
decline is partly accounted for by the
extensive prevalence of hog cholera,
by high-priced corn, by the deficient
production of 1913 because of a Sc
we're long-continued and extensive
drought and because Of the high prices
of swine for slaughter. Notwithstand-
ing the high price of hogs for slaugh-
ter, farmers found that they could not
profitably feed the high-priced corn.
At the same time, the price of hogs
per hundred pounds was high relative
ly, although not as high as corn. In
this situation hogs were often sent to
market understood.
The average size of hogs on the
farm January /, has never been direct
~ asceFtained, but 1t may be com
puted from the average price per head
divided by the average price per hun
dred pounds, as ascertained by this
bureau. AS result of this operation,
the average weight of a hog on the
farm January /, 1914, was las pounds;
in 1913 1t was IA pounds, in 1912 lao
pounds; and in 1911, 131 pounds. The
marketing of DOWNRIGHT hogs which
has been frequently commented upon
In livestock and commercial papers
during the last three years, is appar.
ent in the foregoing average weights,
which are apparently high because
the lighter hogs have been sold off
The average value Of swine on
farms per head January /, 1914, was
5000. or 5.5 per cent above the aver
age value of January 1, 1913, and 1874
per cent above that of 1910. In con
sequence of the increased value OF
swine per head, the total value of all
swine on farms is estimated at $612,
| 951, 900, or a gain of 1.6 per cent over
1913 and 14.9 per cent over 1910. The
diminution of swine January /, 1914
was more than counterbalanced by
the increased price per head of those
that were on hand.

SILAGE A COMPLETE RATION
Hay From Spanish Peanuts, Tops and
Nuts Cured Together, Is Favored
Feed Twice Daily.

Silage is one of the best stock feeds
but alone 1t does not make a complete
ration any more than any other feed.
Silage is rich in carbohydrates and
needs a feed rich in protein to go with
it. Alfalfa hay and silage make one
of the best combinations. Some dry
land farmers are growing sweet clover
and the hay from this plant makes
good feed with which to balance
silage. Cow pea hay is another good
feed to balance silage. The hay from
Spanish peanuts, tops and nuts cured
together, is ideal to feed with silage
and is a sure crop throughout the
southwest, says the Oklahoma Farm
er. Feeders of steers in the northern
corn belt feed silage and corn and
make daily gain Of two pounds per
head per day on their fattening cat
tie. Many feeders in Oklahoma last
winter fed silage, corn or kafir grain
and cottonseed meal and their steers
gained four to five pounds per head
per day.
A little dry forage should be fed
daily to animals eating silage.
There is tendency to feed too much
silage. In feeding large herds of dairy
COWS, the cows weighing 900 to 1900
pounds each, 80 pounds per head daily
is the average quantity to secure the
largest profits. Horses should be
started slowly on silage, five to six
pounds each daily and the amount
should be gradually increased until
they have all they will eat up clean.
This will be about 20 pounds per head
per day when they have plenty of
hay. A horse doing heavy work
should not be fed over eight to twelve
pounds of silage a day
Silage should be fed twice daily to
all kinds Of stock and only enough
should be taken out of the silo and
fed to supply the animals with what
they will eat up clean at each feed.
Silage left in the hunks or in piles
outside of the silo undergoes change

1918 IS NOTED.
Has Many Distinct Advantages 40

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
A heavy decline in the number Of
sheep has taken place since 1910, ac-
cording to the department of agricul-
ture. In that year the number on
farms as ascertained by the census
was 52.448,000; the estimate for Janu-
airy ], 1914, is 49,7f9,000, decline Of
ga per cent from 1913 and of So per
cent from 1910.
Among the causes that have con-
tributed to the diminution OF number
of sheep is the scarcity of labor re-
quired for their care, the high prices
Of sheep and lambs for slaughter, the
displacement OF sheep by expanding
dairying, deficient pasturage and for
age on account of drought, destruction
by dogs, the settlement of range land
previously occupied by sheep, and the
low price of wool; also the increasing
value of land.
The estimates of the department for
the number of sheep on farms in the
United States on January l, 1914, show
decided decrease as compared with
1913. according to the department of
Agriculture. The apparent tendency
toward a decline in the number of
sheep on farms has been noted for
some time and has caused sheep rails
ing on farms to be referred to as a
waning industry. A word here con-
corning the economy OF sheep and
their place in agricultural practice
may not be out of place.
AS farm animal per Sc, the sheep
has many distinct advantages. The
sheep is much more economical ami
NAL to feed than the steer, returning
larger amount OF gain per 100
pounds of feed eaten. When his ca
pacity to consume roughage is con-
sidered, he is more economical than
the hog. The sheep yields double
return-meat at an economical cost,
and wool as a by-product-which will
go far toward defraying the cost of
keep. Sheep are prolific. A farm
flock which does not yield at least 100
per cent increase is very poor indeed.

sILo IN A SHELTERED PLACE
Much Of Trouble and Loss Caused BY
Freezing Can Be Prevented by
Exercising Little Care.

(By A. D. WILSON. Director of AgricuI-
turai Extension Division and Farmers
Institute. University Farm, ST. Paul,
Mimi
None of the types Of silos put upon
the market SO far will keep silage In
this latitude without more or less
freezing taking place during the win
ter months, although those having
air spaces in the walls seem TO freeze
somewhat less than tha type having
solid walls.
Experience has shown, however,
that freezing can be kept within rea-
sonable limits In silos of any common
type by the exercise of q little extra
care. A good tight root should be
provided and the doors should be kept
closed as much as possible to prevent
circulation OF air above the silage and
to keep in the heat generated by the
silage.
In using, 1t is important to keep
the surface OF the silage level or even
trifle high In the middle. not allow.
ing hole to form in the center, es Is
sometimes done when silage begins to
freeze around the edges. We have
never had any bad results from feed
ing frozen sifage, but it will not keep
long after thawing out
Since most OF the freezing is due to
cold air above the silage, it is possible
to afford considerable protection by
keeping the surface covered with hay
or straw, or better still. blanket OF
| canvas.
If in addition to these precautions
1t is convenient to build the silo in q
sheltered place. there should be little
loss or trouble from freezing.

ASOU|TH WILL TAKE
WAR PORTFOLIO
PREMIER SPRINGS SURPRISE ON
PARLIAMENT WHEN HE AS
SuMEs TASK OF WAR OFFICE.
viii Resign From the House at This
Critical stage and Appeal for Rel
acknowledgements NominaIly \
Without Prime Minister.

London-Premier Asquith sprung
genuine surprise on the house on
Monday, when, after all the many So
lutions of the government crisis which
had been proposed and discussed, he
announced decision which none OF
the prophets has expected or even
suggested.
The prime minister himself will as
sumo the burden of the war office in
addition to his other and almost
crushing duties. He will resign from
the house at this critical stage, when
the second reading of the home rule
bill is about to be taken up, and will
appeal for reelection to his constitu-
ents in East Fife, Scotland, within
few days.
Field Marshal Sir John French,
chief of the imperial staff, and Sir
John Ewart, adjutant general, de-
plined to withdraw their designations,
in spite of the army order issued on
Friday, which Yiscount Haldane clev-
erly framed as a platform on which
the generals might stand with con-
sisteney and honor.
1t thus became impossible for Col
onel J. e. B. Seely, who was consigner
with them of assurances to General
Cough that the army would not be
used to suppress the Ulster opposi-
ton to home rule, to retain the secre-
taryship of war. His resignation,
| therefore, was accepted after he had
been for some days under fire from
the newspapers of his own party, who
| insisted that he must go.
Viscount Morley of Blackburn, lord
president of the council, who was
| partner with Colonel Seely in drafting
the offending paragraphs of the docu-
ment, stands in the same position and
his withdrawal from office is ex-
! pected.
The present situation is remarkable
in that the government will be nomi-
nally without a prime minister and
nominally without leader in the
house until the bye election is held in
East Fife. The writ for the election
must give eight days notice.
The only practical loss to the party
in the meantime will be the with
drawal of Mr.. Asquiths voice from
the debates. He will preside over
cabinet meetings and direct maneuv-
ers in the house of commons from an
unofficial seat while Reginald Nc
Kenna, the home secretary. and Win.
ston Churchill, first lord of the admir-.
atty, will understudy him as house
leader.
