the three months when there was
material difference in the rations O
the two groups 1t was found that eacl
COW in the dry fed herds cost ST. {,
maintain; in the silage fed herd. $3.5tl
Fluctuations in prices from year 1,
year and varying local conditions nee
essarily affect estimates of this kind
but there is no longer any doubt tha
the proper feeding Of silage to dairy
cows actually reduces the cost Of feeC
per COW, while II increases the flow o.
milk. in the case of the Mississippi
herds mentioned 1t was found that dry
fed cows produced gallon of milk al
q cost Of li.6S cents and O pound oil
butter fat for 20.93 cents The silagt
fed herd produced milk at S95 cents q
gallon and butter fat ut 2O9S cents
Thus the saving in the cost Of produc
ing milk by the use Of silage was near
ly 40 per cent and In the case of butter
fat nearly 30 per cent
The cost of the silo, like the resultant
saving. depends largely upon local con.
ditiOns and upon the size of the herd
A ninety ton silo. IA by 80, will feed
a herd Of twenty-five cows for six
months, allowing forty pounds for each
COW. Exclusive of labor the cost of
such silo built of concrete has been
estimated at $1G0. To this should be
added approximately $125 for cutter
and blower elevator and the cost Of an
engine to run the cutter and blower.
In some communities 1t is possible. of
course. to hire the engine, or two or
three farmers may unite in purchasing
one, thus very considerably reducing
the expense.
1t Is estimated that concrete silo
costs on the average $3.50 for each ton
capacity, including material and labor.
and wooden silo S1.50. although local
conditions may affect these figures. The
concrete. however. has the great ad
vantage OF being permanent and does
not require the attention that even the
best wooden silo will demand after n
few years.
Although the chief value Of silage to
the dairy is as II winter feed. II fire
quently happens that in the late sum
mer and early fan the pastures are so
short or so dried up that the flow of
milk is seriously diminished through
lack Of feed. II Is n mistaken though
common practice among farmers t. al.
low this to happen. The easiest way
of meeting this condition in large
herd Is TO feed silage. the amount de
pending upon the condition Of the pas.
lures and varying all the way from ten
pounds to full winter feed OF forty
pounds.

SILOS FOR THE DAIRYMAN.

Investigations Show an Increase In
Milk Production Due to silage.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Before the use Of silos became SO
general as it is today representatives of
the United States department Of agri.
culture compared the records of seven
Mississippi dairy herds, which had only
dry feed, with that of one herd of
twenty-three cows, which was fed on
corn silage In addition. The investiga-
ton showed an increase of 1851 per
cent In milk production, due to the use
Of silage.
During the summer months. when
the rations for both groups were prac-
tically the same, the average produc-
ton per cow was also almost the same.
During the winter months, however.
the average monthly production for the
PAT dry fed cows dropped 1867 gallons
per cow, while the average monthly
production of the twenty-three silage
fed cows decreased only 1888 gallons.
Thus the silo owner obtained 1929 gal
Ions more each month from each of his
cows than he would have If he had not
been able to feed them silage.
A gain Of this kind in herd of. let
us say, twenty cows would at the end
Of the three winter months of Novem-
Der, December and January amount to
a total Of 617.4 gallons for the entire
herd. At 80 cents gallon this means
$1S5.22.
In addition to this profit from the in
creased production of milk, there was
an actual saving in cost Of feed. In

THOUSANDS DIE NEEOLESSLY
IN SEARCH Or HEALTH
National Tuberculosis Association
Tells Who Should Go West.

I
Tells Who Should Go West
From 10000 to Is 600 consumptives
60 West in search of health every year.
Such is an estimate made by the Ma.
tional Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis in state.
ment issued today based on recent in
vestigations of the United States Public
Health Service. The Assocl ition con.
cludes that there are at present between
100, 900 and 200. 600 consumptives in
the states of California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Colorado.
Investigations were made during the
past year by surgeons of the United
States Public Health Service, P. M.
Darlington in California, E. A. Sweet
in Texas ana New Mexico. and A. ID.
Foster in North and South Carolina.
The National Association draws the
following conclusions from these
studies:
J.. Thousands of consumptives at.
tracted by the climate migrate every
year to the west and southwest. While
no definite figures can be procured, the
facts ascertsined would indicate an an.
nual migration of at least 10000 and
possible 10 coo into the States of Cali.
fornia, Ariz ona, Colorado, New Next.
co and Texas
2 From 80 to so per cent of these
consumptives are hopeless cases and
die within six months after their
arrival, the percentsge of those dying
within 80 days running as high as IS.
g. A large. but unknown percentage
die in almshOuses or are the recipients
of charity, and the great majority OF
these could have been made comfortable
in their last days if they had stayed at
home among friends and relatives.
4. From Az to 80 per cent of all
deaths from tuberculosis in the West
and Southwest are of natives of other
states, nearly 90 per cent coming from
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky.
Tennessee and New York
8. People who can afford it and who
are not in too far advanced stages of
tuberculosis will find the climate of the
West and Southwest an aid in the
treatment of tuberculosis.
6. No one should think of going West
or Southwest for his health unless he
Las at least $1,000 above his railroad
fare, and can leave his family in com.
Portable circumstances; and no one
should 20 who is in an advanced stage
OF tuberculosis or who has not taken
careful medical advice.
Z. tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is far
better for consumptive of moderate
means, such as the average working
man, to go to a sanatorium near ut
home, than to 60 West and live in a
more favorable climate without proper
food or medical care.
8. Finally, there may be plenty of
jobs in the West and Southwest for
able bodied men, but the consumptive
will find the greatest difficulty in get
ting work, and no one should 20 West
therefore in the hope of getting job.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
will send free literature or give infor.

to any one inquiring at its Office, l05

in a japanese drama entitled
Madame Butterfly" This is a nov
city production, finely staged, splen-
didly acted and beautifully photo
graphed. Ii shows Miss PickfOrd in
an entirely different role than she
has ever portrayed. In the part Of
Cho- Cho-San, the little Japanese
woman who serves as a toy for an
American naval officer on a few
weeks shore leave in the fiowery
kingdom, Mary Pickford is strong.
She plays her part with a dizziness
and sympathy that draw out the deep
pathos in the life of the little Japan
csc, and she does not overlook the
opportunities for moments Of gayety.
on Saturday the English society
drama The Butterfly on the Wheel
will feature Holbrook Blinn and his
charming assistant, Vivian Martin.
The story is that of a successful man
Of business who neglects his young
pleadings OF an ardent admirer, but
nevertheless remains true to her hus-
band. The latter, however, catching
the couple in suspicious circum-
stances over which neither have con-
troll, seizes the opportunity of di-
vorcing his wife. But after much
unhappiness the couple is reunited.
