DO WHALES SNORE?
COLONEL HAS NOT
BEEN INTERVIEWED

New York, July 20.-Do whales
snore? Science avs so, and it's a
fifty fifty vote from captains of sailing
vessels at New York ports.
The question arose to distract the
minds of New York ers from heat and
the coming gubernatorial campaign
when Captain Clifton Smith, his officers
and passengers on the Stephano, ar
rived in Qort with the story that they
had run close to a sleeping mammal
and heard him snore.
r. A. Lucas, director of the museum
of natural history, was asked about it.
"A whale snore?" said Director Lucas.
IF Captain Smith says so, it must be
true-as true as the story of the whale
into whose blow hole a barnacle fell
and which ever after whistled when
he blew. They said of this whale that
he learned to answer the whistles of
the ships. If you believe one you'll
have to believe the other"

The Silo and What 1t Is Doing

able quality Of silo so that the silage
may furnish its own pressure. Cost
and durability are also factors which
may rightly enter into the question of
what kind to build. 1t is not the pur-
pose of this article to give specific di-
rections for the building of silos. These
may be had from many sources. The
United States department of agricul
ture publishes information on the sub
ject that may be had the asking. The
report of the Kansas state board of
agriculture for the quarter ending
March, 1914, devotes 270 pages to the
subject of the silo, giving discussions
and illustrations of the various ways of
building silos and the best ways of
storing and feeding silage,
Our agricultural papers are full of
this subject. I would urge the reader
to get full information and lay plans
after careful study of the subject
The following 10 reasons why every
farmer who keeps livestock should
have silo, formulated by Professor
]. H. Skinner of Purdue university. de-
serve consideration.
1.-THE silo preserves the palatabil-
plant for winter feeding.
"2-It helps to make use Of the en-
tire corn plant.
"3-The silo increases the livestock
capacity OF the farm.
"4-Silage is a good summer feed
when pastures are short.
"5-Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo 1t
is an economical means OF storing
forage.
"6-The silo prevents waste of corn
stalks, leaves and husks, which con-
tain about two-fifths of the feeding
value of the corn plant
1.-THE silo located near the feed
manger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand In stormy as well as fair
weather
"S-The silo assists in reducing the
cost of gains in fattening cattle and
sheep.
"9-Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and de-
creases the cost of production.
"10-There are no stalks to bother
in the manure when corn is put into
silo."
All should understand that silage is
not a complete, or balanced ration. 1t
is succulent food and should be sup
plemented with some balancing dry
feed. Good corn silage and alfalfa hay
make a good ration. What l mean by
good corn silage is silage made from
well matured corn and including the

ear as well as the stalk and leaves.
The feeding value OF silage depends
very directly upon the character of the
material put into the silo. Silage de-
void of grain needs more of a grain
ration to balance it.
What does the silo mean to agricul-
ture? 1t means the bringing back of
the livestock industry which has been
slipping away from US in the past few
decades.
1t means that the farmer on a mod
erate-sized farm can raise his own
calves and produce beef for the mar
ket at good profit. 1t means more
intensive farminA better breeding of
stock, and the establishing of more and
better homes. The thousands of cattle
on hill owned by ranchman become
the cattle on a thousand hills owned by
happy. and contented farmers.
1t means, 1t is to be hoped, an actual
increase in the livestock business till
beef and mutton and pork may find
their way to the poor mans table.
1t means the feeding of homegrown
crops at home and the maintenance OF
the fertility of the farm.
1t means better social and economic
conditions and while 1t is not a pan
acea for all the ills to which human
ity is subject, 1t may help to right
some conditions

IS NOT CANDIDATE
FORPLACE ON THE
SUPREME BENCH
Judge Bulge Decides to
Seek Reelection as Judge
of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict.

Judge Alfred Bulge will be a candi-
date to succeed himself as judge OF the
Fifth judicial district and will not be
a candidate for the office of justice of
the supreme court. His nomination
papers for the former office were filed
today with the secretary of state by d.
c. McDougall Unusual interest in po-
litical circles is centered around this
announcement because of the fact
there had been not little speculation
as to whether or not Judge Bulge
would enter the race for the Justice
ship.
The high esteem in which Judge
Bulge is held by the bar of his district
is shown by the fact that members of
the bar presented a petition signed by
them to him urging him to become a
candidate for reelection to the office
of district judge.
Ulon the presentation of this petit
ton Judge Bulge, after expressing his
gratitude to the members Of the bar
for their confidence in him and the
great kindness they had shown him in
the past and his sincere appreciation
for this additional evidence of their
true friendship, stated that it was his
intention to become a candidate for
denomination, and that his nomination
would be duly filed with the secretary
of state; that he would give to the
duties of the office that same careful
and conscientious consideration which
had been his utmost endeavor during
the past that he has served the people
in that capacity; that he felt that his
tO V,ItNlia tho a H.
torneys could only be repaid by a con-
slant effort upon his part to administer
the law fearlessly and justly as he un-
derstood it, and having a desire at al
times to do exact justice between the
attorneys and the litigants so far as he
was capable of understanding then
rights under the law and the facts il
each particular case.

BY II. n. Townsend.

Each succeeding generation finds
new resources to supply its needs. AS
certain products fail others are found
to take their places. When timber be-
came inadequate as a fuel supply, coal.
oil and gas were found. When these
shall fail man will find some other
source of heat and power. He is al
ready learning to use the direct power
of sunlight.
In like manner 1t comes about that
the silo Is brought into use to con-
serve forage which formerly went to
waste. Two fifths Of the feeding value
of a good corn crop lies in the slower.
When left in the field. or even when cut
and fed dry, but a small per cent of
this feeding value is available. In cases
of crop failure the immature fodder
dries up and loses much of its feeding
value. With the silo the farmer is able
to store up his big crops and make the
most of his poor ones.
The silo was first used in Germany
about 100 years ago. 1t has for many
years been used in the eastern portion
of the United States but only in recent
years in the west. The rapid multi
plication of silos in Kansas and other
states proves their utility. The farmer
who builds a silo one year is apt to
build another one the next year, his
neighbors build, and so all over the
country we see silos springing up as
by magic.
These silos are of three kinds as to
the material of which they are built
the wooden silo, the metal silo and the
concrete silo. There are also many
varieties of each of these three kinds.
Each kind has its advocates. There
are also three kinds of silos in respect
to elevation; the above ground silo, the
bank silo and the pit silo. Where
drainage allows the pit silo excels all
others in cheapness and has some adj
vantages along with a few disadvant-
ages. Occasionally stock raiser may
be so fortunate as to have a precipi-
tous hill or draw where he may build a
bank silo having all the advantages OF
both the above ground and pit silos
The essential features of silos is that
they shall be kept air-tight and shall
keep the silage from freezing an6
moulding. The walls should be smooth
as nearly circular as possible, ant
should be vertical. The diameter o.
silo should be gagged according t
the amount of stock to be fed, so tina
several inches of the whole exposed
surface may be removed at each feed
ing.

COW COMFORT.

The effect of hot weather on the
VARY COW is not seriously considered.
1t would seem. judging from the way
hundreds of COWS are handled that
the owners expect the cows to give
as much milk in hot weather as in more
comfortable weather. There is always
complaint of the milk receipts falling
off in hot weather even though pas
lures are good. 1t is not possible on
all farms to give the cows the run OF
a shady lot during the middle Of the
day, but on a great many farms where
this is possible, it is not done. 1t will
pay the farmer who has shady lot to
fix it up so that the cows can be pro-
tected from the heat of the sun during
that part of the day when they refuse
to eat even IL they are in the pasture
The comfort of the COW should be
sought in summer as in winter, and COW
comfort will pay in increased milk at
all times Of the year.
