The Little Friends You Never See

W. Milton Kelly ia Journal Of Agriculture
and Star Farmer.
The soil is not dead mass as many
Of Us suppose. Itteems With life so
small that ii can be seen only with
powerful microscope, but this life is
just as important to the farmer as is
his plow, or seed, or reaper. There

why a SiIO, Anyhow"

why a SiIO, Anyhow"
why a silo, anyhow" is a short
way Of putting question that has risen
in the mind Of every farmer who has
not tested the silo and silage on his
own farm.
Jewell Mayes, Secretary Of the Mis-
souri, State Board Of Agriculture, has
asked Mr.. J. Kelly Wright, farmers
institute lecturer, TO answer this ques-
ton in pointed and practical way,
based on the experiences Of Missouri
owners OF silos, and he says:
by harvesting the corn as ST.
lage, the entire crop Goo per cent, or
practically that much) is saved. 40
per cent Of the feeding value Of corn is
in the stalk.
81. Silage is a palatable and sue
culent feed, the nearest to grass Of
any feed that we have-and we can
have it in the winter time, when there
is no grass.
"3.-Silage is a good conditioner
for all farm animals, serves as a toning
for the digestive tract and keeps the
animals in healthy condition.
"A corn crop, when harvested
as silage, can be stored in one-hall the
space required by any other method.
"5.-Twice as many head Of live
stock 10 the acre can be kept on the
farm that has on it a good silo.
6.-The man who feeds silage will
always feed with it some leguminous
hay like clover hay, COW pea hay, soy
bean hay or alfalfa hay-and in addi-
ton to this he can also feed some
grain or some concentrate rich in
protein, such as cotton seed meal,
linseed oil meal, etc.
1.-THE man who feeds legumin
Gus hays in connection with silage
will, Of course, grow the legume crops
on his farm. When he does this he
will follow natures way, and the best
way, to improve the fertility Of the
soil.
"S.-The addition Of siage and pro-
tein concentrates to the ration Of corn
and hay commonly fed will not only
make better and more balanced ra'
tion, but will result in the production
Of better quality Of mannre.
"9.-By saving the whole corn plant
as silage and feeding this in combina-
ton with corn, cotton seed meal or
linseed meal and legume hay, man
has not only better quality Of manure
but more manure.
"l0.-Corn in the silo is handy and
easy to feed. There is no exposure to
rain, snow, mud and bad weather
feed or feeder. There is no digging
OF shock fodder or shock corn out OIL
the snow and frozen ground.
Ill Silage takes the place Of high
priced hay during seasons when prac'
tically all feed is high priced and
scarce. A forty bushel yield Of Reid:
Yellow Dent corn will make ten tons
Of silage TO the acre.
"12.-During seasons like 1911 IS
IA, when the grass dies down in mid
summer and is not worth much TO
pasture, the silo is invaluable. No
only can silage be fed in the winte
time, but it can be fed 10 the summe
time especially like 1914, when man!
farmers we're compelled 10 sell livt
stock at a sacrifice on account Of lacl
OF pasture.

urged. The person who cannot swim should not venture beyond his depth because if he does he is apt to lose his life and will surely lose it unless someone is at hand to save him. This is not, always the case and when it isn't, the result is as the newspapers chronicled this morning in speaking of the accidents of yes terday. People who rock the boat or who go bathing in deep water and cannot swim they escape, but the odds are against them.
 Perhaps the fatal accident at Com bounce yesterday may be sufficient to keep those who cannot swim from go- ing out too far and to cause more promptness on the part of others to give assistance when it is demanded

IN NEW HAVEN

If we were to judge of the char acter of New Haven by the editorial page of the esteemed Journal-Courier we should say that it is some city, but when we turn to the front page then in the interest of truth and ver- acity we should demand recall of the first statement. While the able editor is summering on the other side he has left good sub, who does not for get to hold aloft the banner of his chief in making an estimate of the city of old elms and new ideas. He says editorially that New Haven is a particularly blessed and fortunate city. In many respects it is un- equalled or at least unsurpassed as a summer resort. but on the front page there is a story that were thirty-eight prisoners in the Sunday bolice court and that fifteen of that number came from the pest hole' lookup, the con- dition of which may be judged from the name given and which has been the main reason for holding court on the Sabbath. The suffering of the people confined there over Sunday Is said to have rivalled that of those confined in the Black Hole of Cal cutta, where a number died before morning. tF,s
 The most heavily sentenced man in the Sunday court yesterday was a prisoner whom the Journal-Courier says wrapped himself around four beers.'' It. is impossible to estimate the carrying capacity of New Haven man on the Sabbath, but it does seem as if he might be able to convey four beers around without attracting the attention of the constabulary, but ever since the state officers have been keeping an eye on the manner of en- forcing the liquor law there the real bluecoats have been very watchful. Thirty eight is quite roundup for such a blessed city as New Haven. We hope the figures included all the J vioIators and that none escaped.

Georgia the Land of Gunmen.
 (Atlanta Constitution.)

Judge w. E. Thomas is one of the sanest and most conservative judges in the south. His name is a synonym for clear vision and courage on the bench. Recently he charged the grand jury on the cost to society of the pistol toter. His charge created profound impression, and there is likely to be a housekeeping in South Georgia because of it.
 Judge Thomas reminded the grand jury that in fifty-seven counties in Georgia there had been sos indict- ments returned for unlawful firing of pistols. Of course this grand total included homicides and petty offenses. The main thing is that 1t indicates the appalling extent of law breaking, the fact being that each of these sO9 pistol toters might have we'll been a slayer under favorable conditions And if SO9 indictments were returned for this offense in a little over one-third of the counties, what will the roster be for the entire 149?
 There is a law on the statute books, as Judge Thomas says, to break up illegal carrying of weapons if grand juries, courts, citizens and police three of the judges in Georgia have inaugurated the plan of suspending the alternative of fine and making all pistol toting subject to a sentence on the public works. In the judicial circuits where this method has been tried there has been a perceptible diminution in the practice.
 The Constitution has many times insisted that the pistol toter is simply a barbarian and should be treated as such. He does not even deserve the consideration that society grudgingly extends to the jungle inhabitant who goes on 8 cold-blooded murder ing expedition. The jungleman is at least entitled to the extenuation of ignorance and a rudimentary con science. No such mitigation attaches to the man living in the midst of civilization, each day rubbing elbows with men of high standards and cognizant of the cowardice and dead Illness of his offense.
 Until public sentiment does back the demand of such judges as Judge Thomas we will continue to be plagued with high murder rate, and the nation will itself to be placarded before the world at nation of mur- derers."

BLOODsHED IN IRELAND.

The trouble which has long been expected to develop into bloodshed in Ireland appeared Yesterday in the form of a. riot in which four were killed and several wounded. This happened; not in Ulster but in the vii cinity of Dublin, all due to. arrival of firearms for the Irish Volunteers, which the police were ordered to job it was turned over to the soldiers. A mob soon gathered and when it refused to disperse the soldiers fired over their heads and when that did not have the desired effect the sol diers fired into the crowd, killing bur and wounding an unknown num- Der. The rioting kept up all night and this morning the barracks were at tackled, the mob daring the soldiers to come out and the police finally succeeding in restoring order.
 The trouble has had its real origin in the disagreement over the home
 
 rule bill. Now that hostilities have broken out it is impossible to predict what the result will be. The feeling has been high in Ulster but now much of it has been transferred to Dublin where it was not expected. Repeated conferences at Buckingham Palace have failed to bring about any favor able arrangement of the difficulties and the fact that there has been bloodshed will probably make the task all the more difficult. Ireland has been. seeking home rule for a great many years and now when it ap- pears close at hand the greatest ob- stacles have begun to appear, which it is feared may end in post poning the long desired reform

United States senate,' the woman told the crowd, mot because he is my ia ther, but because he's the best man for the place-the best equipped, the most competent I want to tell you briefly why Judge Doster should be noninated.", And Mrs Farnsworth told why. Then little later Mrs. Doster stepped to the front of the band stand. In clear, sweet voice the woman sang a simple little song that brought a roar of applause from the crowd. And then for two minutes Mrs. Doster told why her father-in- law should be nominated and elected.
 We would do anything to help father" said Mrs. Farnsworth, after it was all over. He's too modest to get out and talk for himself, and we feel that Kansas could never have a better United States senator than fla ther He's big and able and compe- tent and those who know him know that But father doesn't reach enough people. We are going to help him. We are mighty proud of him and we thought if Mrs Sheffield In- gals had the pluck to hustle for votes for her husband, we could do the same thing for father"
 And the women are doing it. In airdome theaters, at picnics, Chautau- qua gatherings and even political powwows, the two clever Kansas women are telling why Judge Frank Doster should be nominated for United States senator by the men and women who participate. in the demo- cratic primaries in August. Preced- ing each speech is short musical program. Neither of the women speaks longer than five minutes. 7.

Sensational Preaching. (NeW York Tribune.)

For some reason or other the ef- fort to secure the Rev. Billy Sun day to conduct a series of evangelistic meetings in tins city never material ized. But the Rev. Bob" Jones, whom Billy" has designated as his successor, is one of the speaking at fractions at the Tent Evangel. Alp parently there is sort of Apostolic Succession in the evangelistic calling, and Billy wields powers equivalent to those of an archbishop.
 Mr. Jones, of course, is sensational in his utterances and he glories in the fact. If necessary, he says, he would stand on his head in the pull pit to make people listen to him. Not that he approves of sensationalism per SC, but he believes that it is the only way nowadays in which preacher can get hearing. There fore he says it is not the preacher who should be blamed for sensation alis7i, but the people who demand
 We regret to say. however, that we cannot accept this plea as a valid. one. We cannot believe that the world will refuse to listen to the mes sage of Christianity, unless 1t :. is couched in the language of the slums. Indeed, MT. Jones himself does not appear to think so; for he declares that Eff ministers would preach the gospel in the good old-fashioned way as the Bible teaches it, they would fill their churches" Well, then, if that is SO, if there is still spiritual potency in the. old. message itself, what justi- fication is there for the vulgar slang and buffoonery of Billy" Sunday and his host of imitators? What is true in the message of Christianity will not reach the conscience of mankind one whit more effectively because the preacher turns a handspring or stands on his head when proclaiming it.
 We do not question the sincerity and good intentions of these sensa- tional evangelists. Nor would we deny that they bring some people to a better way of living. But in. cheap ening and vulgarizing sacred things they neutralize much of the good they do. Their methods will never attract the vast majority of sincere men and women who are today seeking some spirual clew to the mystery of life and destiny.

Lame Ducks to the Front.
 (Boston Herald.)

The republican party in this com monwealth has been taking new heart during the past week. There
 are many signs that it has turned the corner and is on the way to suc- cess in Novem Der. This revival of confidence is a fine thing in its way, for the political party which hopes to- win must first of all believe in it's own chances of success. The trouble is that this recrudescence in favor able prospects has tended to bring to the front all the lame ducks of by-gone days. There is a familiar ring to many of these names which are being paraded on nomination papers with the designation of the republican party. Scarcely a day passes but the news columns tell US that MT. ex-office-holder so-and-so, having taken new grip on his chances of election since MT. Birds decision, is again ready to serve the people in some remunerative ca pacity.
 If the leaders of the republican party possess the political sagacity that is commonly attributed to them, they will make an effort to head off oOiIiO ol tiCoC CduuludCleS. OhuV' our direct primary system the final choice among candidates must, of course, rest with the voters. but by effective team-play the leaders or any party can do much to influence the rank and file in the right direc- ton. As matters are now shaping, the republicans have an excellent chance to win back thousands or votes which have gone to progress sive candidates at the last two elec- tions Not in many years, more over, has the opportunity of swinging democratic voters to the republican standard been so great. But these things can only be achieved by put ting the party's best foot forward To insure republican success next November the ticket must be made 1 LID of men who represent the best l traditions of the party. If recruits | are to be drawn from the other par ties the republicans must give some | indication that the lessons of the | last four years have not been allowed l to pass unlearned. The lame ducks | of the party can render it no better | service at the present Juncture than | by keeping in the background.

Helping Father to Senate.
(Topeka, State Journal. )

Singing father into the United States senate. That s the, newest move of the new Kansas voters. .. It has followed the announcement of Mrs. Sheffield Ingalls, of Atchison, to the effect that she will make cam paign speeches for her husband in the congress of the first district. Now, Mrs. Irma Doster Farnsworth and Mrs Chase Doster have shouldered some of the responsibilities of the campaign and with vocal selections, a violin and short, catchy speeches, the two women have taken the stump in the interest of Judge Frank Doster's candidacy for the democratic sena- torial nomination.
 As strategists and diplomats, the two bright Kansas women are hard to beat Even William Allen White has taken off his hat to the ladies in their clever campaign. But White is not alone. The town of Emporia- Whites town-was stormed by the women a few nights ago, and Judge Doster's daughter and daughter-in- law left the town with the knowledge that their siege had gained votes.
 Judge Doster is one of the most modest men in public life in Kansas. His adherence to professional ethics and his modesty in pushing his candi- dacy has at times made him appear almost timid. These two bright young women saw the situation. They want, Judge Doster to win. They know that the fight for the United States. sena- torship- is the real thing and that Judge Doster's weakness lies in his refusal to take advantage of situa- tions which more greedy politicians would grab with impunity.
 So the two women started out to campaign. They didn't go to the Judge Doster campaign fund and levy an assessment. They didn't go to the former chief justice of the su- preme court for counsel or advice. They mapped out their own cam paign, agreed to pay their own ex- penses-and went to work. Their novel campaign has already begun to attract wide attention.
 Down in Ennporia a few nights ago the ladies attended the weekly band concert. Everyone in Emporia goes to the Friday night band concert There was a big crowd, no expense for advertising and the only question was finding an opportunity to talk. The women arranged for place on the program. '.,.
 During an intermission Mrs. Farms worth stepped forward with her vio- lin. When this martly- -gowned woman began to coax high-grade mu- sic from the violin, the crowd leaned forward to listen. They thought 1t was a part of the regular program, a new and unannounced treat. The crowd applauded. Then, before anyone knew just what was happening, Mrs Farnsworth delivered a smart two minute booster speech a ;'.5'2 '.- ' Judge Doster> ought to go to -, the i

Gov. Blease's Pardons. fNew York Evening Post.)


 Gov. Cole Blease's highest ambition ;s soon to be gratified. Not by his election to the senate, for that is but a life's purpose secondary to his de- termination to release every convict in the state penitentiary. Twelve hundred has he pardoned thus far, and with but sixty to go the end is in sight. By pardoning only two day he will have them all out by the sec ond week in August. He is never at a loss for a reason.
 He released Samuel Way, convicted of obtaining money under false pre- tenses, because Way seems to have had much trouble with his wife; A more serious affliction, to my mind. cannot be imposed on any man, espe- cially if you are living in South Caro- lima, as here you cannot get di- vorce"-which to some might seem by itself a reason for keeping way behind prison walls.
 Frank Stone was set free, after con- victfen for selling a blind horse as sound, because there's no excuse TOT a mans saying a blind horse was put off on him unless he was either pima or drunk" Otis Hill, who Killed d negro for cursing him, was commeno- ed by the governor and allowed to go as an injured man.
 Tn short. South Carolina ought to do away with judges and juries, as wei, as jaiIs: Cole Blease,. grand caliph. can dispense justice all by himself. Curiously enough, Blease has made a conservative of Senator Tillman. -
