duced the cost of gains 81 per hun
dred pounds and increased the total
profits S11.19 per steer. These steers
were choice two-year-old feeders
weighing little less than a thousand
pounds at the beginning of the expert
ment. In addition to the above facts
in favor of corn silage the following
statements are made: The more
nearly corn silage replaced clover hay
in the ration the cheaper was the
gain and the greater the profit and
corn silage produced very rapid
finish on the cattle"
Corn silage is an efficient roughage
for fattening lambs and sheep. 1t is
a good roughage for breeding ewes
IL fed intelligently. That is silage
that is rotten, sour or moldy should
not be fed. Many farmers in Indiana
are feeding corn silage to horses with
excellent results during the winter
season. Moldy silage or spoiled should
not be fed to horses. Silage should
be fed with great caution to brood
mares.
Summing up some Of the most in
portant reasons for having silo on
the live stock farm we have the fol-
lowing:
l. The silo preserves the palatabil-
ity and succulence of the green corn
plant for winter feeding.
2. 1t helps to make use of the en-
tire corn plant.
8. The silo helps to increase the
live stock 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 storage OF 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.
Z. The silo located near the feed
manger is an assurance Of having feed
near at hand in stormy as we'll as fair
weather.
s. The silo assists in reducing the
cost of gains in fattening cattle.
9. Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and de
creases the cost Of production.

In the first place the silo Is the
most efficient means by which We can
prevent the enormous waste of corn
stalks. leaves and husks. which con-
tain at least twofifths OF the feeding
value OF the corn plant. Farm land
I'm Indiana is entirely too high in price
to permit this waste to go on year
after year OF course we can cut our
corn fodder, but the cattle eat but q
little more than half of 1t. The re-
mainder is wasted so far as feed is
concerned. III by means of the silo,
we can save all of this waste and at
the same time preserve the palatabil-
ity and succulence of the green corn
plant Cor winter feeding we have gone
o long way toward getting the great
est amount OF feed possible out Of the
corn crop.
When we make an excellent feed
out Of what is often wasted we can in
crease the live stock capacity of the
crease the acreage OF corn.
Another splendid advantage of the
silo Is the fact that IL we are going
to have silage at all. the corn must
be cut up and put into the silo where
It viii be convenient for feeding in
stormy as well as fair weather. When
we cut corn for fodder 1t is shocked
In the field and when dry stacked In
the ward or shredded and placed in
the NOW. Often we leave the shocked
corn remain out in the field so long
that It has lost a very large part OF
its feeding value, because of the ac-
ton of the weather. This is not the
case when silage is made. AS the
corn must be cut and put into the
silo Immediately where its feeding
value will not depreciate.
The silo also assists In reducing the
cost OF gains in fattening cattle and
sheep. In bulletin 1853 OF the Purdue
Experiment station we find that 'the
addition of corn silage once daily tc
q ration OF shelled corn, cotton-seed
meal, and clover hay reduced the cost
OF gains $1.S3 per hundred pounds and
Increased the total profit 1885 pei
steer" The addition of corn silage
twice daily to a ration of shelled corn
cotton-seed meal, and clover hay re

In addition to opening the county
scat question, the board authorized
submission of the question of forming
two new counties, Jackson and Haaken,
from the western part of Stanley.
The board denied the petition for
submitting the question of organizing
the third new county, Sterling.
County division sentiment is based
largely on the fact that a number OF
towns desire to block u new counties
In which they will be centrally located

AS Fort Pierre, the present county

of this large county it would stand a

doubt whether his will result. as there
are several owns preparing to hoist

SOUTH DAKorAN PERFEcTs
EDISON'S HOUSE SCHEME

Mitchell, S. D., July 1s.-Thomas
Edison's famous theory about a cheap
way to construct concrete houses has
been worked out by a Mitchell man,
II. T. Frost. This city claims the
distinction Of possessing the only house
in the United States constructed by
means of a set of concrete forms.
MI. Frost mas invented a -sysem Of
frames that can be handled easily and
at the same time have the advantage Of
leaving a continuous dead air space in
the middle of the wall. This advantage
in itself is a great feature in that it
eliminates the nuisance and danger of
moisture. sweat and frost getting into
the walls of the house, which caused
the failure of the Edison invention.
The Mitchell inventor has obtained
a patent pom a set of forms which
builds a hollow wall. reinforced hori-
zontally. perpendicularly and also ties
the walls together. At the same time
the forms can be adjusted to build any
size house. lake any thickness Of wall
and also leave the door and window
openings any size.
1t is upon these lines that Mr.. Frost's
residence in Mitchell a been con-
structed and the place is now ready for
occupancy.
