WILL WARN THEATERS
AGAINST OVERCROWDING

Acting on the complaint OF the
fire commission that many theaters
especially those in the downtown
fire district, are crowding the aisles
and exits in violation OF the city fire
ordinance, Mayor Marx will summon
the managers OF 20 theaters to ap-
pear before him at o'clock Friday
morning. The mayor will explain
the provisions of the ordinance and
then warn the theater managers that
he will revoke the licenses of all
theaters that continue 10 violate the
law.
According to the members of the
fire commission, nearly every theater
in the city, including the big down

The Stave SiI0

The first Silo in America was built
in 1876 by Francis Morris, but the
development of the use of silos on the
farm was very slow up to 1890. Since
then the siIo has increased in popu
larity until now there is no longer
any question about the need of silos
on all dairy and stock farms.
In Western Washington and Oregon
the silo is especially needed as the
legunmious crops of clover, vetch
and peas are native to the soil and
these crops with corn are especially
adapted for the silo.
Good hay making is difficult with
out silo as the rains continue usual
ly till the middle of July and by that
time the clover has rotted on the
ground. The man provided with a
silo could have cut his first crop for
ensilage during the early blossoming
period in June, rain or shine, and
the secopd crop would come on early
enough to furnish good crop OF hay
at the time when the sunny days are
more numerous to make good hay.
If left till the middle of July there
will be no second crop.
In making of silage several methods
are in vogue. Some farmers put their
green clover into stack and cover
the top with sand and dirt TO prevent
it from molding others put the green
clover whole into some form OF home
made receptacle and pack it down;
while others have home made sllos
made from slaves not groved and
without doors and covered with floor
ing or lath and plaster, which they
fill by means of an ensilage cutter
While all these constructions are
known as the poor mans silo the real
reason for calling them so is that
they have tendency to keep a man
poor and not because he cannot afford
a first class silo.
No dairy farmer can afford to be
without good silo and he can buy 1t
and make the payments for 1T from
the savings he makes in mill feed and
hay and from the increase he gets in
milk, which together makes the price
of the siIo twice over every year.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that there is not much money In
dairy farming when they trade their
milk checks for feed checks. With
we'll built silo which holds enough en-
s1lage to feed each COW 70 pounds
twice a day he needs but one-half as
much hay and one-third as much
mill feed as by other methods OF feed
ing and at that he gets from 20 per
cent more milk than from dry feed
ing.
when the farmers begin to realize
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-04-01


ments are lost when feeding whole
hay in contrast to cutting it green
and putting it into silo where it re-
tains all it's nutrition value and is
worth S.. 90 per ton they Will put up
the silos and save this loss.
The kind of silo to build is the i'm
portant question. The home made
contraptions which have been built
in place of first class silos have done
great deal to hurt the cause of silage
as they are all more or less leaky, and
cause the silage to mold and spoil
and often injure the cows which eat
such silage.
1t has been abundantly demon
strated that stave silos made from
clear fir, tongued and groved and
bevelled to fit the circle with doors
that may be easily opened and closed
tight between feelings and with
proper roof over them are the most
economical silos to build. Such silos
can be purchased from silo manufac-
turers, complete and ready to as
semble, which can be done by two
ordinary farm hands in two days.
The base of silo should in all
cases be made of concrete and be
placed on top OF the ground and not
dug into the ground. 1t should be
slightly concave toward the center
and extend about eight inches above
the ground to keep outside moisture
away.
AS the slaves are set on end on top
of the concrete their bottom should
be covered with pitch which permits
expansion and contraction and at the
same time excludes the air. Anchor
rods are usually imbedded in the
cement and fastened to the slaves
while at the top of the silos are cables
fastened in the ground and provided
with twin buckles to make them rigid.
When the silo is finished it should
be filled by means of an ensilage cut
ter and blower. The green fodder is
pitched onto the self feed table of
the cutter, cut into ensilage and
blown into the top of the silo and
packed tight. A distributor is
provided for the inside of the silo
through which the silage passes and
the man in the silo guides the dis
tributor and packs the silage. Three
foot lengths are disconnected as the
silo is being filed. When the silo is
filled it should be wet down on top
and oats sown on top of the silage.
The sprouting of the oats will form a
mat of growth which will entirely seal
the silo and prevent spelling of any
of the ensilage.
The feeding is done from the top
and the continuous doors that can be
easily opened and closed between
each feeding will be appreciated.
Such silo properly constructed
and filled will keep all the silage
without spelling for several years. if
necessary, and it is the best mortgage
litter ever put on the farm.

Ministry
Protests Against
Seizure of Railroad

PERING, oct. 3.-The Chinese govern
ment today replied to the latest japanese
note. It declared that It considered the
japanese occupation of wei-Hsien in
Shan Tung province a breach of neutral
ity and asserted that If the rest of the
railroad in Shan Tung was occupied such
action would constitute a further viola
tion.
The state council, under the chairman
ship of Wise President Ii Yu Heng
reached a consideration of current bust
ness and discussed at length the japanese
violation of Chinese neutrality. The
speakers contended that the japanese
would make Shang Tung province another
Manchuria; that the progress of japanese
troops along the railroad was unnecessary
from the military standpoint; that Great
Britain could not be excused from the
disregard shown by its ally Japan, OF
China's neutrality, and that the japanese,
in view OF the outrages in Shan Tung, are
not treating the Chinese as a friendly ma
tion.
The government is permitting Chinese
newspapers 70 report and discuss the
Japanese activity In Shan Tung. It still
continues TO prevent. however, the boy
cotting OF things japanese which various
Chinese cities have attempted to inaugur-
ate
