A FRIEND.
CLARA EVELINE CLEMEET.

Clara Eveline Clement was born near
Kenton, Harden county, Ohio, May u.
1857 and died in Smithburg, w. Va,
at the home of her sister, May 10, 1914.
aged 81 years and days. She was a
great sufferer much of the time from
early girlhood from spinal trouble, and
was a constant companion of her par
ents whom she has greatly missed since
their death; her mother in particular,
who passed away September 81, 1913.
She leaves to mourn her loss two broth
ers and two sisters: Rufus c., of Ken
ton, Ohio, Hugh B., of Detroit. Mich,
Mrs. Nina Hutson. of Smithburg, w.
Va, and Mrs. Belle Cisner, of Belle
Center, Ohio. She was faithful mem
Der of the First Presbyterian church in
Kenton, Ohio, and will be greasly miss
ed by many relatives and friends.
She was en- route to Mt. Lake Park,
and was visiting her sister when she be-
came seriously Ill, and no medical skill
or careful nursing proved to avail, but
after three weeks of great suffering she
went to join her parents.
Aside from the home friends she had
many friends in Garrett county, Md, of
whom she often spoke, among them the
Wilson's, Abernathys, Coneways and
many, many others who will be panied
to hear of her unexpected death.

keep at Goldendale, WASH, where it
will be necessary to turn them out
more or less on rough pasture land,
and where | will separate the milk
and sell the cream only. Does it cost
more to keep one than the other? e.
l.. c., Seattle, Wash.
Answer: Your personal likes and
dislikes should influence you in the
selection of the breed as much as
anything. Both Ayrshires and Hol-
stems are good rustleIs, and there is
very little difference in their relative
adaptation to your rough land. A
big factor to consider, however, is
whether you can get good individuals
of either breed close at hand. Ayr
shire herds are scarce in the West,
and in fact nearly everywhere except
in eastern Canada, Whereas Holsteins
can be bought either there or in the
north central part of the United
States.
The selection of the breed is not
as important as selecting the individ-
ual. We have both good and poor
cows in all breeds, and if you get

SILOS In WASHINGTON.

The Extension Department of the
State College has received reports on
more than 60 silos in the state, the
figures being furnished by the sllo
owners. Some have furnished def
nite data while others could only give
estimates. The reports will be
tabulated in complete form. While
they can not be considered absolutely
accurate, as fgues from silo owners
they serve as a valuable guide. In
cluded are At stave, three hoop. three
concrete, two brick, one Gurler and
several square silos. The square silos
are not considered in the statements
below.
OF the state silos 40 are home made
and seven factory built. Factories
have only recently entered the field.
In Western Washington:
Average cost of stave silos reported
was So. 20 per ton capacity.
Of those exceeding 45 tons capacity,
average cost 81. SO per ton capacity.
Of those less than As tons capacity,
average cost So. SO per ton capacity.
In Eastern Washington:
Average cost of stave silos reported
was 81. % per ton capacity.
or those exceeding 45 tons capacity,
average cost was 50. O8 per ton capac-
ity.
OF those less than As tons capacity,
average cost was 81. Al per ton capac.
ity.
The small silo is more expensive in
proportion to its capacity. silo
should be not less than ten feet in
diameter. The height should be at
least twice as great as the diameter.
On the average farm two medium
sized silos are more satisfactory than
one extremely large one.

cannot be replaced at this time as a
handy power especially adapted for
operating churns, cream separators,
feed mills, wood saws and many other
machines, it is nevertheless, a fact
that a good reliable windmill will
pump water day and night, year in
and year out, and by storing it in a
tank of sufficient size, will supply
water as needed. Windmills have
been used for years and years and
there are no good reasons for discon-
tinuing their use now. After the
cost of first installation they call for
very little expense and require hard
ly any attention.

geared Samson Windmill, have been

AMOUNT OF SILAGE TO FEED.
Question:: Would like little in
formation on silos and silage; how to
put it up so that it will keep and
how much to feed an ordinary dairy
COW? Would also like to know where
l can obtain a good, reliable book on
the treatment of cows-something in
the line of home veterinarian. G.
A. E., Elma, Wash.
Answer: Silage is nothing more or
less than picked green feed. and is
made by packing the crop after it is
run through silage cutter into an
air tight tank or silo so as to exclude
the air. Corn makes the best en-
silage, but in some localities this
crop does not grow and in its place
may be used peas and oats, vetch and
barley. or any similar combination
of legumes and grain hays. Any crop
should be allowed to get fairly ma
ture before it is stored to make sure
that it will settle evenly allowing no
chance for mold. The usual feed of
silage for dairy COW is % to 40
pounds day, allowing about one
pound for each pound of milk prod
uced.
There are number of good books
on silage and silo construction; one
of the best aud perhaps the most in
expensive is the one published by the
Silver Manufacturing Company,
Salem, Ohio. This book can be OBJ
tanned from them for ten cents.
For the treatment of diseases of
COWS 1 suggest that you get Diseases
of Farm Animals" by Mayo, publish

York; or Diseases of Cattle" pub

ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
c., which you can obtain free from
your United States senator. Such
bulletins as we have pertaining to
dairying have been sent you under

ROOTS; ALFALFA FOR EN-
SILAGE.
Question: | would like to know
the best kind of roots to raise for
cows-the kind that give the most
milk and butterfat. Will alfalfa
make good ensilage? o. K, Kiona,
Wash.
Answer: Our experience with feed
ing the various kinds of roots has
led us to conclude that it doesn't
make SO much difference what kind
of root is raised for the dairy COW
SO long as it is one which will give
the largest yield at the least cost.
These crops are fed to produce a
desiral effect upon the digestion
rather than to furnish nutrients for
maintenance and milk production
directly. They are composed largely
of water and because of that fact they
take the place of pasture or other
green feed. suggest that you feed
all the alfalfa hay the COW will eat up
clean, and from 20 to 30 pounds of
roots daily, and in addition a grain
ration composed OF equal parts of
bran and ground oats. feeding one

you can grow corn in your locality,
and if you expect to put up any

 New Haven, Feb 24--Don C. Seitz of the New York World sounded keynote of Connecticut policy at the Troup banquet, last night, when he as1monished the aesernbIage of 400 of the leading politicians of Connecticut, that the people of the Commonwealth will not be satisfied unless those who assisted in the footing of the New Ha- Ven system are brought to justice
 He casually suggested that Chair man Elliott would be much better en- gagged if he were preparing suits to confpel restitution of the diverted property, then he is as the head of a lecture bureau instructing the people of New England and neighboring states in the duties of agriculture
 MT. Seitz's thoughtful remarks were received with evidences of appfovaI, although they were delivered in the hot bed of New Haven influence, and in community where it has been deemed that a railroad can do no wrong.
 The dinner was notable occasion. It brought together many persons of varying political faith, who were the personal friends of Philip Troup, edi- tor of the. New Haven Union, who has been designated postmaster for New Haven, an office that has not been in Democratic hands for a score of years ulItM now.

Osborn, editor of the Jour nad-COurfer. was toast1naster. Re- marks were made by George M CTflnn of Milford, Mayor Rice of New Haven and Congressman Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden, who came over from Brid dgeport, fresh from his triumphs at the banquet and convention of the postal organizations
 MT. Gunn expressed the hope that MT. Troup might some day resume his editorial duties long enough to fight to a finish the contest for equal rep reeentation in Connecticut To the rotten borough system Mr. Gum at- trfbuted the. circumstance that the Connecticut legislature is so singular 1y out of touch with the popular opir- ion of the state.
 Congressman Reilly said that the office of postmaster had come to MT. Troup entirely unsolicited by the lat ter. He touched briefly upon the mag nitude of the postal service, declaring it to be the greatest pubIic utility on earth.
 Mir Troup responded to the agree able things that were said about him, and expressed. especial gratitude for thep kind things that had been said about his distinguished father, the late Alexander Troup.
 Letters of regret were received from William Jennings Bryan, Governor Simeon B. Baldwin and other well known men.

 SHORT LINE ROADS
Ruling Based On Alleged Rebate Through Private
 Tracks Contested

Washington Feb. 24-Assuming that trunk railroads are arranging to dis continue immediately through rates with the Union Railroad Company, the Newburgh & South Shore Railway Company and the Lake Terminal Rail road Company, subsidiaries Of the United States Corporation. attorneys for the corporation today asked the interstate commerce commission D re- open the matter of allowances to short lines of railroads serving indus tries,
 The brief filed with the commission contends that in the transportation Of iron and steel products and of the raw materials, including coke and coal, it has been the general custom from the beginning of the industry for the car riers to spot cars within the industry where they are to be loaded or un- loaded and take each car when load ed or un1oaded to the main line and that freight rates on these commodi- ties have been continuously construct ed on the basis of the cost of such services.
 It is further contended that while the average car revenue of eastern trunk lines on all comm modities is s66.6s, it is $112.54 for steel products. Figures are also given to show that the same condition prevails in the
  steel products from many other points in eastern trunk line territory.
 The petitioners contend that the commission was unjustified in the con clusion that the service" performed for industries adjacent to complain ants tracks gives such industries an obvious advantage over shipper who delivers and accepts his freight on a public track.
 It is argued that the commission should not have found that the deliv- cry of a car upon comp1afnants inter- change track is a delivery for the pur- pose of assessing demurrage and the comrQission should not have found that the admission of the industrial railroads to the modified per diem agreement is an .fundue, unreasonable and unlawful preference and advan- tage to the industry
