sILAGE FOR LAMBS.
Reduces Cost Of Feeding and Increases
Selling Value.

The addition OF corn silage to Il ration
of shellcd corn and clover hay reduced
the cost Of gain on a lot Of lambs fed
at the Purdue station 40 cents per hum
dred pounds. 1t also slightly increased
the selling value Of the lambs and in
creased the profit % cents per lamb.
says Orange Judd Farmer. When the
corn silage was added to the ration It
was found that slightly less Of the
shelled corn was eaten. and at the
same time the rate Of gain on the
lambs was slightly decreased. The
amount Of hay consumed by the lambs
also was reduced when silaSe was add
ed, 121 pounds Of the silage reducing
the hay consumption O.72 pound daily
per lamb.
Without silage the ration Of shelled
corn and clover hay produced gain on
proportionately the same quantity Of
grain as did the same ration with silage
added. Considerable hay was saved.
however, as it was found that 1868
pounds Of silage reduced the quantity
Of clover hay consumed in making 100
pounds OF gain by 1870 pounds.

Red Hat For ireland.

Rome. Nov. 1.-Because of jealousies
that inevitably would be aroused by
selecting new cardinals among the bel
ligerent nations and also on account Of
the difficulties that foreign cardinals
would encounter in coming to Rome
the pope has hitherto let it be under
stood that he would not call another
consistory until the war is over. But,
owing to vacancies in the sacred col
lege-the last new cardinals having
been created May 10. 1914-the idea Of
a consistory is again rumored in Vati-
can circles.
1t IS being suggested that the pope
will not create cardinals belonging to
the belligcrent countries, but appoint
only those living in Rome or neutral
countries. In this case, it is said.
Archbishop Ireland Of the United
States may be included.

S25Q.QQQ.QQo For Army.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The plans for
the reorganization Of the army are near
ing completion and soon will receive the
presidents approval. A series of con-
%ferences has been held at the White
House between the president, Secretary
Of War Garrison and the chairmen Of
the senate and house committees on
military affairs.
The basis Of these conferences will
be the report which Secretary Of War
Garrison is preparing with the assist
ance Of the most experienced men in
the army. The purpose of the confer
ences will be to obtain the viewpoints
Of the legislative leaders and to get
heir approval of the Garrison plan.
The first and most important point
in relation to the plans appears to be

Feed Mixtures Compared.

\ mixture consisting Of 300 pounds
Of cornmeal and 100 pounds Of cotton
seed meal IS not as good as one con-
sisting Of 400 pounds Of cornmcal,
loo pounds of distillcr'. grain, 100
pounds OF gluten feed, 100 pounds Of
bran, 125 pounds ground oats and 100
pounds of cottonsced meal for mich
cows. The latter mixture is better for
two reasons 1t contains a larger va
riety of feeds and has a better Inc
chanical makeup. Cornmcal and cot
tonseed meal are heavy feeds, and If n
mixture OF this kind is used it is bet
ter to feed 1t on top OF silage or cut
some hay fine, moisten it and mix 1t
with the cornmeal and cottOnsccd meal.

FARM COLT IN N T
Young Animal Needs Plenty Of Good
Feed and Exercise,

Feed and Exercise.
Many colts are stunted In the fall by
lack OF proper care and attention. The
colts are generally all right up to wean-
ing time. In the fall. as soon as the
blowing starts, the farmer wants to
use the mare. and he puts her into real
haru work, writes a correspondent of
the American C%ultivator. The colt re-
mains In the stable in a box stall for
a week or so. Then. from the lack Of
exercise and the extreme change from
running IN the pasture field, in a week
or two he starts to swell up in the legs.
n owner notices this swelling, and
he turns the colt u in the field. If
there is any grass the chances are that
the colt is left out until the snow flies.
That colt will not be as heavy when
1t goes into the stable as 1t was the
day 1t was Weane0, There are hun
dreds of colts that will not be as heavy
In December as they We're the. day
they We're weancd.
MY Idea OF the care OF a colt to three
years of age, in short. is: In the first
pace they should not be weaned until
they are educated to eat, and then
they should be weaned gradually,
They should have plenty of exercise
and good food.
The most important six months of a
colts life is the first winter. They
want good feed, good clover hay and
roots n some oats, not too much. One
animal will take more than another,
and we must use discretion in feeding.
After h colt Is weancd an excel
lent food Is sweet skimmilk. As long
as YOU give 1t plenty Of feed and
exercise and do not allow 1t to get too
rat you will be sure to have a o o colt
and YOU need have no fear OF spoilinc
It's feet and legs. You are feeding II n
good wholesome ration that will pro-
duce both bone and muscle and giving
1t plenty of exercise to develop the
whole system.

Variations In Fat Tests.

1T seems to be natural for cows to
produce milk that varies In fat per-
rrntage, says Hoard's Dairyman. Tn
der normal conditions Il cow does not
vary a greatdeal from day to day. If she
does 1t can usually be traced to some
'h'hs that affects physical condition.
improper f~ccding-that is, feeding too
h''"h grain, forcing cows-will cause
'ic milk to vary in its fat content. FIX
clt'mcnt, such as chasing them in the
yard, or rough handling or lmproper
care will also cause them to nro1roo

Bavaria's Idol.

Berlin. Nov. 1.-Until the news was
received that Prince Leopold Of Ba-
varia was leading an army in the d.
rect assaults against the outer circle
Of the Warsaw forts little had been
heard OF that aged soldier. 1t is said
that he had been without military
command for several years when the

In 1t until the beginning Of the Ger
man offensive last spring. At the end
OF April, according to the Frankfurter
Zeitung, when Mackensen was intrust-
ed with the execution Of the great Ga
lician offensive and was put at the
head Of the newly organized Eleventh
army, he gave over his previous army,
which consisted of the troops on the
Bzura and Rawka, to the command Of
the Bavarian prince. When Warsaw
fell Leopold led the victorious army

Monument For Linden Bates.


New York. Nov. 2.-The parents Of
Lindon Wallace Bates, Jr.. who was
LOST with the Lusitania on May Z. are
preparing to erect Il tomb and monu-
ment to their son. The monument will
be a reproduction of the famous Pom
pegs pillar in Egypt and will tower
10 feet above the tip Of q rocky noun
tain Of the Berkshircs on the Bates es-
tate Mt New Lebanon, n. Y. The me-
mortal and It's place have been chosen
because Mr.. Bates greatly admired
Tompey's pillar and was fond Of climb
Ing to the Berkshire mountain top,
which before his death came to be
known as "Lindon Bates Rock"
The pillar will be of white concrete
and will be visible for many miles both
by day and night. After dark search
lights will shine upon its sides from
Its base. Mr.. Bates body will be placed
under the base in n permanent resting
place.
While Intending the monument prin-
cipally as a memorial to their son, Mr..
and Mrs. Bates, Sr.. wish also to have
1t stand In memory of all those who
went down with the Lusitania. An
approach will be built to it so that
those interested may visit it, and a
spiral stairway inside will lead to a
summit from which one may obtain
an unexcelled view Of the surrounding
country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bates have been moved
to erect the monument to their son not
only through parental affection, but be-
cause they feel that the manner Of his
death should be COMMUNICATED. Ac-
cording to reports brought by surviv-
ors, Mr.. Bates obtained q life preserver
for himself soon after the Lusitania
had been %torpedoed and doubtless
would have saved himself had his at
tention not been attracted by a frantic
woman who had not secured a life belt.
He removed his life prcserver. accord
ing to the story, tied it around the wo-
man and then dived overheard, trust
ing to his swimming powers. His body
was found weeks later at Eddy island.

this basis it would cost about $24,4OO,-
