ATTACK ON SALVATION ARMY
Foes Say Employees Get Pitiful Wages
for Work in London-Prosecu-
ton Urged.

London.-Strong influences are be-
ing brought to bear on the board OF
trade to make that body prosecute
the Salvation Army, whose leader.
General Booth, on a trip to New
York occupied the royal suite on q
crack liner. it is said.
One of the arny's sources of income
in London is the sale OF various kinds
of rubbish collected all over the city
and the men and women who do the
sorting of this are declared to be

to sort half ton day. The army
gives board and lodging tC q man able
to handle the above named quantity
and if he does more he is paid at the
rate Of cents for every hundred
weight, it is alleged.
4 competent carpenter employed
regularly by the army gets the munifi-
cent sum OF % cents a week. for which
at frequent Intervals he is required to
return humble thanks.
At the Salvation" wharf the condi-
tons are said TO be even worse. A
gang of seven men, loading 100 pounds
Of stuff, receives eight shillings and

KILL WEED SEEDS
BY USING A SILO
Do Not Retain Sufficient Vitality
to terminate in Spring, Says
Missouri Expert.

That the seeds of the common field
weeds when ensiloed with corn, peas
or any forage used as silage will not
retain sufficient vitality to germinate
in the spring when returned to the
land mixed with manure, is the be-
lief of e. E. Hart, chief agricultural
chemist of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin, and
A. l.. Stone, state seed Inspector.
While there are no experiments on
record with regard to the combined
chemical action of silage and manure
on the termination of seeds. it IL
quite likely that there is little danger
of seeding valuable fields with nox-
ious weeds in this manner. AS an
added precaution the storing Of ma
nure under a shed is, because OF the
fermentation taking place in the COM
post heap, 80 be advocated as a sure
means of destroying any weed seeds

A great many people make the mis-

work Of fire prevention and control
All agencies are working on the
theory that it is much easier to stop
fire before it gets going we'll than
to control 1t after it is in full swing
Discussing the question of fire pro
lection, Henry S. Graves, chief of the
forest service, said:
State foresters and western lum-
bermen's associations are in many in
stances cooperating with the forest
service in fire patrol work and fire
fighting. The forest service is each
year building miles of new fire trails.
telephone lines and lookout stations.
and each year the fire danger will be-
come comparatively less imminent. to
the degree that such preventive. meas
ures can be carried out. But this work
is limited, of course. by the size OF
the fire-control appropriation. A num-
Der of fires already have caused heavy

or the apples, the culls of the early
winter varieties are, of course, first
used. Those of the Salisbury and the
longer-keeping varieties may be re-
served for later feeding
A bran mash, with chopped beets
or carrots stirred into 1t, is a great
treat, and is beneficial form OF feed
ing which should be offered occa-
sionally. Be sure that the bran or
meal offered to the COW is sweet and
good, or trouble may result.
The cornstalks may be fed once a
day, and clover or oat-hay at an
other meal; the meal of the day being
the interchangeable mixture.
Squashes and large beets should al
ways be partly cut up, as they are
difficult for a cow to manage when
whole.

COW measures to her owner in proper
ton as he metes out to her materials
from which she is to maintain her
own strength and vitality and produce
a good flow of milk
The demand of her body for greater
warmth during the winter months
make it necessary that she be in first
class condition-fat and sleek.
An abundance of food which not
only aids in maintaining her bodily
warmth, but is of a nature to wet the
appetite to its keenest, is essential to
keep the mich flow at it's best.
Like other domestic animals. cattle
enjoy variety. The available food-ma-
terial on a we'll conducted farm af-

Where one has not the facilities for

fruits mentioned above are most
excellent substitute.
Turnips, cabbage and strong flaw
ored vegetables are also relished by
this family cow, and are very whole
some, but as they give an unpleasant
flavor to the milk they cannot be adj
mitted to her diet.
Decayed or moldy fruit or vegeta-
bIes should. needless to state, be re-
jected. The seeds should be removed
from squashes and pumpkins, as they
tend to diminish the flow of milk.
In order that the food be wholesome
and nutritious, it must be stored un-
der approved conditions.
Hay, well-cured, keeps in a NOW or
a loft with plenty of bottom yentila-
ton. Stalks are usually ricked out-of-
doors. This is satisfactory if they are
thoroughly dry when ricked, and so
tightly packed that those underneath
are thoroughly Notected by the STOP
ing outside layers
Apples should be kept just above
the freezing point in the cellar, if pos
sible; potatoes at temperature of 40
degrees. and squash in a dry place
where they will not freeze.
The squashes should be fed early in
the winter, as under ordinary storage
conditions they cannot be depended
upon for long keeping.
