ton that when the Panama Canal is
opened that it will be practicable to
ship wheat in bulk to Europe. At
Puget Sound Ports, considerable
wheat is now received in bulk by the
various flour milling concerns, but
as far as known, not SO shipped by
water.
After having thoroughly canvassed
the situation and consulted repre-
sentative farmers from the wheat
growing district, the Port Commits
sion decided to build combination
bulk and sack grain elevator and
warehouse. Since making this de-
cision, the plans have been pushed as
rapidly as possible and at the time
this is published, bids will have been
called for the construction OF the
foundations. The elevator and ware
house will be located on Block 375,
Seattle Tide Lands in front OF the
turning basin at the south end of the
East Waterway. The elevator will be
located on solid ground back OF the
wharf and shed. The total dock
frontage will be 1,50O linear feet
which will be ample to give berth to
three average freighters.
The grain elevator will be of con-
crete, thoroughly fireproof contruc
ton, and will consist of a working
house and 25 circular storage bins.
Stacking machines will be installed SO
that grain that is in bulk may be
sacked for shipment when so re-
ouired. It will also be arranged SO

No subject is of more Importance
to the grain growers in the Pacific
Northwest than proper and reason
able priced blockade and storage
facilities. With this end in view a
large delegation of prominent wheat
growers of Eastern Washington dur
ing the winter came to the Sound to
consult with the Seattle Port Com
mission to determine how soon the
big dockage and storage facilities
contemplated by the Commission
would be ready for use. The result
of the visit was most satisfactory.
The port commission expressed itself
as using every possible measure to
push the work to rapid completion.
The Washington Farmer knowing
the interest grain growers are taking
in this matter asked Gen. Chittenden,
chairman of the Board for the facts,
giving us the status of the proposed
buildings.
On request Mr.. Paul Whitman.
chief engineer of the Commission has
favored us with the following article
which explains the matter in detail;
The grain of the Pacific coast until
within the last few years, has been
almost entirely handled and shipped
In sacks. Recently. however, there
has been a tendency to depart from
this method and handle in bulk as is
done in the middle west and eastern
parts of both Canada and the United
States. This movement has been
somewhat accelerated by the expecta

70 get more food value out of the dry
forage and concentrates fed at the
same time than would Oe possible
without the snccuIence. A COW that
is fed a balanced ration composed
entirely of dry feeds will produce a
fairly large amount of milk. II, how
ever. some succulent feed was added
TO the ration, and an equivalent
amount of nutrients be taken away
in the dry feed SO that the total
nutrients would be the same, there
would be a perez ptible increase in
the milk flow.
PASTURE.-On of the most COM
mon. and also most convenient ways
of furnishing succulence is by means
of a pasture. There is not doubt
that the freedom given the COW, and
tho opportunity to lie on soft grass
carpet TO TEST, both of which are
afforded by pastnring, are conditions
which tend to make a greater milk
production than is usually thought.
Because of the fact that such assets
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents, far comparison of the cost of
pasture with other forms of succulence
is difficult This much can be said.
however, that on land which Is not
easily titled, such as a steep hillside
or logged off land, pasturing should
by all means be practised. The labor
connected with the use of pasture is
decidedly small when compared with
that necessary to supply succulence
in other forms, and for this reason it
is often desirable to use the former
method of supplying green forage.
A pasture of mixed grasses and leg
umes usually gives the best results
There are two reasons for this: In
the first place we find difference in
the relative amounts of nutrients in
the different crops. This gives
variety of feed, enabling the COW to

Green Roughage

Green Roughage
The natural feed for the COW Is
green grass. Nature has provided
her with such digestive organs as en-
able her to get more out OF pound
of dry matter when in green form
than when given in dry form. This
fact is very clearly shown in the in
creased milk yield during the time
when COWS are on pasture. A method
of feeding often practised is that OF
giving the COWS dry ration composed
of hay and grain during the fall,
winter and early spring, turning
them out to pasture in April, May
and June. Under such management
the highest milk production is invari
ably obtained during the three spring
months named. In order, therefore,
to get a maximum milk flow for the
entire year, we must initiate the
condition of spring pasturlng every
month in the year.
water content, are spoken of as sue
culent feeds, or simply succulence.
This succulence may be supplied In
many different ways. and may be
divided as follows:
l. By pastures of various kinds;
9. By soiling (cutting a green
crop and feeding it to the COW in the
barn or feed lot, rather than allowing
her to Craze over ito
3. By supplying silage made from
any suitable crop;
5. By root crops, potatoes apples,
pumpkins, etc.
5. By factory by-products, wet
beet pulp, wet brewers grains, APP
pie pumace, ETC.;
These succulent feeds when eaten
by the cow, do more than simply
furnish digestible nutrients in deslr-
able form. They also enable the COW

get a more nearly balanced ration
than could be got from one crop. In
the second place, the grasses and
leeumes as a rule have different root
systems which take plant food from
different depths of the soil. This
gives larger yield Of total nutrients
per acre.
While no one grass or mixture Of
grasses and legumes will give the best
results for pasturing under all condi-
tons of soil and climate. yet certain
ones stand out as being better for
general use than others. Kentucky
blue grass is without doubt the best

single grass for pasture. 1t crowds
out nearly all other grasses and
weeds, and is not easily killed by
drought. It is the richest in protein
of any of our grasses, which is one
reason why stock is SO fond of it, and
why it is generally considered as
good milk producing feed. However,
the fact that it soon gets sod bound
and becomes non productive is point
against it's general use. The nutritive
ratio of Kentucky blue grass is 1: 7. 6.
Other combinations of grasses that
are good for pasture, and give larger
yields than blue grass are as follows:

Approximately 900 feet of the ele-
vator will be two stories in height.
It is being planned that the grain
after being sacked may be conveyed
to this floor and stored, and from
there loaded in vessels to better ad-
vantage than from the first floor.
Along the front Of this second story
shed, there will be 900 feet of con-
veyors in galleries from which grain
may be spouted in bulk to the ships
alongside. This system may be ex-
tended in the event that additional
berthing space served with grain
spouts is required. A fair idea OF
the capacity of the wharf sheds may
be obtained from the following facts:

The estimated cost of the elevator
proper is approximately $3.50, 600.
While the elevator cannot be com
pleted in time for this falls business,
