Concerning ksvice.

In magazine for Women appears
this choice bit of adYLe: Don't go
out to dinner unless yOu are willing
to talk" Sounds rather needless,
don't it? Persons of the gentle sex
generally do talk when out to dinner
or elsewhere. One Is reminded of
that old saying about fCarrying Goals
to Newcastle" and all that sort of
thing. And it thrusts Itself on ones
attention that a large percentage of
the advice so generously bestowed on
both sexes Is rather on the unneces-
sary order. Yet we read it and hunger
and thirst after 1t, don't we? And
why? Isn't it because we want to be
advised to do the things we want to
do, like to do and will do anyway?
The kind of advice we don't care much
about is that which runs counter to
our personal wishes and intentions.
Givers of such advice are sometimes
regarded as malicious. meddling, per-
nicious persons, even though it is ac-
knowledged that their advice is wholly
sound and reliable. Really, come to
think of it, the situation is enough to
discourage any but the most willing
advisor, isn't it?-Detroit Free Press.

from fall pasture to dry feed is always
followed by the shrinkage in the
milk.
In changing from the pasture to
the silage Is not so great, and
often the cows increase the flow when
started on silage.
Silage is not a complete ration for
a dairy cow. Silage is high in carbo-
hydrates and some concentrates OF
roughage with a high protein content
should be fed with it; such as wheat
bran, oil meal, cottonseed meal or
alfalfa or clover hay.
At the Illinois experiment station
it is reported that selected herd OF
dairy cows were being maintained on
alfalfa hay and corn silage alone.
The COWS are in excellent condition,
and have made good yields and good
profit.
Every dairyman should make an
effort to grow alfalfa and put up sill
age. 1t is great combination and all
home grown. This constant buying OF
milk feed Is what cuts down the
profits, and should be eliminated as
far as possible.
When it is considered that corn
can be grown so easily and in every
section of the country, it stands at
the head of the list of forage crops
for this purpose.
The yield in feeding value and the
convenience Of handling makes it the
best silage crop.
The yield will range from 10 to
90 tons per acre on good soil, and
even higher yields have been re-
ported. At Is tons per acre. one
acre will furnish roughage enough for
two cows for every day in the year,
or four cows during a feeding period
of six months. What other crop VIII
do that?
Other crops can be used. such as
sorghum or cow peas In combina-
ton with either sorghum or corn. The
COW peas improve the silage, for it
adds protein, but the yield is small
and difficult to harvest.

DAIRY PROSPERITY
BY USE OF A SILO
Dairymen Should Take Advant-
age of Every Opportunity to
Reduce His Expenses.
cay ]. E. woRMAN.)

If dairy farmer were told that
he could roll silver dollars down a
hill and then pick up two dollars
for every one he rolled down, and this
statement was verified by some of
his neighbors, and hundreds of 9th.
er dairy farmers in the country, that
farmer would stay up nights to roll
the dollars.
But when told that he could double
the profits by the use of the silo he
becomes very Indifferent and keeps
ON In the same old rut, feeding dry
feed, wasting nearly half OF his corn
crop and doing lot of unnecessary
work.
In these days Of close competition
dairymen should be ready to take ad-
vantage Of every opportunity to re-
duce the cost of production. and 1t
will be found that 1t is easier If the
proper methods are used to do that
than to raise the selling price Of the
dairy product. The results are the
same; large net profit.
In the corn plant about 40 per cent
of the feeding value is in the stalk
and so per cent. in the ear. When the
ear alone is fed nearly half Of the
corn crop is wasted.
Where the dry stalks are fed at
least half of them remain uneaten,
while If stored in the silo the loss is
almost nothing.
Every dairyman knows that COWS
will do their best on fresh June pas
ture. The grass is succulent ard pal
atable and the conditions for max
imum milk flow are ideal. These
conditions, however, do not last very
long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and it is available every
day in the year. 1t provides uni
form feed for every one Of the IL
months.

Interstate Commission Has Not
Sufficient Data.
SOME POINTED SUGGESTIONS
The Queries Framed BY Louis
Brandeis Intimate That the Trou-
Bile May Be Due To Conflict
ing Interests.

Washington. - Eastern railroads
must show conclusively to the Inter
state Commerce Commission that
shrinking profits are due to the de-
creasing value of the dollar, rather
than to the evils of stock manipula-
ton, interlocking directorates and
frenzied financing. Otherwise there
will be no grant of increases. This
condition was emphasized by the COM
MISSIONS public announcement that
it has sent to all lines set of IL
questions, divided in seven groups,
which go straight to the heart OF thel
railroad-finance problem.
1t is the understanding of the COM
mission that some of the railroads are
in position to make full responses to
the questions submitted without sub
stantial delay, while others will re-
Quire some time to compile the data
ordered.
These questions, bearing in every
line the impress of the views of Louis
D. Brandeis, the peoples lawyer" en-
gagged by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, may be summarized in
the question: Are you paying proper
attention to economics, and are your
earnings shrunken because of inter.
locking directorates, because of Wall
Street 'milkings,' because of too much
attention to finance and too little to
railroading?"
One group of questions was aimed,
