the three months when there was g
the two groups it was found that each
| COW in the dry fed herds cost $4.10 to
| maintain; in the silage fed herd, $3.50
| Fluctuations in prices from year to
year and varying local conditions nee
| essarily affect estimates of this kind,
but there is no longer any doubt that
the proper feeding of silage to dairy
| cows actually reduces the cost of feed
per COW, while it increases the flow of
milk. In the case of the Mississippi
herds mentioned it was found that dry
fed cows produced a gallon Of milk at
a cost of 14.GS cents and pound Of
butter fat for 29.93 cents. The silage
gallon and butter fat at 2O.9S 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 80 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 a silo built of concrete has been
estimated at S160. To this should be
added approximately S125 for cutter
and blower elevator and the cost of an
engine to run the cutter and blower.
In some communities it 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 $1.50, although local |
may affect these figures. The
concrete, however, has the great adj
of being permanent and does
not require the attention that even the
best wooden silo will demand after
few years.

luently happens that In the late sum-
ner and early fall the pastures are SO
short or so dried up that the flow of
milk is seriously diminished through

common practice among farmers to al

age would be, and, in the experience
| of Spokane County feeders, in
about the same proportions with
reference to other feed. Thirty
five pounds is liberal allow
ance for the smaller dairy breeds,
such as the Jersey; forty pounds or
little more may be allowed the
larger, such as the Holstein.
Stored and fed ia this manner,
wheat, barley, oats, vetch and peas
have given high measure of salts
faction to Spokane County farmers.
Exact comparison with corn silage is
to be made by the Washington Ex-
pertinent Station this coming season.
Touching upon the probable value of
this type of silage Director Ira D.
Cardiff says:
"There is abundant evidence that
in the less-favored agricultural re-
gions, wnere corn makes insufficient
yields or cannot mature at all on ac-
count of fall frosts, silage of this
type may serve an important use
F. L. Kramer, of Spokane County,
last year cut $4,000 pounds OF wheat
silage to the acre. Viewed from the
standpoint of nutrient value it ap-
pears that wheat silage cannot be
greatly inferior to corn silage. I am
sure that in 10000 pounds of wheat |
S lage there would be, on the averge,
as much grain as is in 40, 900 pounds
of corn silage.
"Wheat is fully the equal of corn
in carbohydrates, or heat-forming
elements, and in protein, the strength
element, it has a good mar
.inal advantage over corn. So l
loubt if wheat silage will be found
Inferior to corn silage.
"Again, it is probable that the nu-
rient value of green wheat blades
md straw is not greatly less than the
corresponding value of the green
caves, stalks, and cobs of corn
7hich are cut up into silage. So, in
his particular, it is doubtful if corn
as an appreciable advantage in
ctual nutrient percentages. 1t GER
aiLly is a fact that practical Spo-
ane County feeders have found this
ype of silage highly satisfactory so
ar as we have observed, and there
nothing in their experience to
how that silage of this character is t
OF, pound for pound, as valuable as $
lat of corn" :
One other point in behalf of wheat '
lage is scored by County Agricul- e
lrist Shinn. He points out that in :
lie semi-humid wheat regions where G
orn yields a profitable crop, certain p
arieties of wheat, such as Bluestem L
I'd Turkey Red, lodge badly in the {,

How much will a bale Of cotton
lose per month or year in a good, dry
warehouse, Is a more or less common
subject of discussion among farmers,
warehousemen, cotton buyers and
others, and there Is all kinds Of tes-
timony on the subject.
Some people believe cotton will lose
in weight as the result of being stor-
ed; some say that for a short period
after being placed in a warehouse, q
bale Of cotton will lose at a fixed rate
per day, and then it begins gaining
and continues until it about gets back
it's original weight. Everybody ad-
mits that if the cotton is exposed Sc
it will absorb water, 1t will grow
heavier and lose quality. In other
words it will rot.
MI. J.. F. Carson, a well known
farmer of the Delphos neighborhood
gave The Enquirer some facts las
Saturday that throws important light
on the subject. -.
about two weeks ago." he said,
II sold rs bales Of cotton that l had
been keeping in a good, dry house on
my place since last fall, and the total
loss as compared with gin weights
when the cotton went into the ware
house, was just 16 pounds. When
the cotton went into the warehouse
it weighed 1859 pounds. and when
the cotton buyer weighed it up, he
made 1t 1858 pounds"
The principal thing that would be
proved by this surprisingly small diff
ference IL that the cotton underwent
but little if any change Of weight In
the warehouse. 1t certainly would
not be a strange thing If two or more
cotton weighers would make more
than a difference Of sixteen pounds In
weighing the same twenty-five bales
of cotton on the same day.

Daily Mail instead Of himself, and
with this idea in mind he did not hes
itate to try to make the Daily Mail
speak of him just as he would like
to be spoken Of.
No newspaper man worthy of the
name cares to serve as a mere mouth
piece for somebody else. He might
not object to saying nice things about
the in%dividual; but If he is of the right
kind of stuff, he does not care to say
them unless he knows Of his own
knowledge that they are true, and he
certainly will not stand for being put
in the position Of having appeared to
say things that somebody else has said
for him.
The Mail has handled this matter
in a way hat fully and truthfully
puts the whole things on its merits,
and in the way hat all honest news
papers should handle booster" stories
generally.

es up with the first, you want to jump
out of bed. It Is Just terrible. Then
there IL a shot from the hypodermic.
and in a few minutes you just find
yourself floating half way between
the bed and the ceiling, wide awake,
and every fibre of your being tingling
with pleasure that Is indescribable,
except that you feel as II 1t were nee
essarily bound to last forever and a
day. But after a while when the CT
fects of the morphine die down., and
the pains begin to race through your
body again, and there Is no way to
the needle. When I saw what 1t
would bring me to, I resolved to stop
it, and set the time. The agony COM
menced pretty soon after the last
shot, and I began to twist and squirm
and groan. My daughter, who had
become expert with the needle, seeing
my misery, would come in from time
to time and prepare an injection
ready to give 1t to me. Now, here
you are racked from head to foot,
with the most excruciating misery,
with instant relief in sight only at the
acceptance. But that would mean
only another bigger and stronger link
in the chain already forging, n /
gritted my teeth and said, no. There
we're five days and nights Of this be-
fore the pains were finally conquered,
and now I hope I am SAFE"
It is fair to say that Mr.. Sherer
had no idea that this story would ne
published; but when he realizes how
much good 1t is likely to do, he will
hardly be likely to make any objec-
ton.
During the time the writer was In
the sick room, Mr.. Sherer said, that
first and last there have been over
400 people in to see me-" Whether
he merely used a definite number to
express an indefinite number, the
representative Of The Enquirer did
not inquire: but it is easily probable
that the statement was literally cor
rect.

Yorkville is known to railroad peo-
pie all over the United States, be-
cause Of the fact that since freight
has been transported by rail, enough
goods has been shipped into Yorkville
to make the railroad people and Others
familiar with the name.
Not so with the town OF York.
and thereon hangs a tale:
Some time ago the Carroll Supply
company ordered a carload Of flour
from Cairo, Ill. This flour should
have been received here several days
ago. The Carroll Supply company be-
gan to need this flour because, as Is
we'll known, people must eat. Each
day their scanty stock Of flour became
scantier still. The Carroll Supply
company was worried.
They got into communication with
the people from whom they ordered
the flour and were informed that II
had been. shipped out on the appointed
day. That called for further inyesti-
CATION which developed the fact that
the flour was in Atlanta, Ga. 1t was

- Short exercises to commemorate
the opening of the Yorkville GRADED
school, were held in the school audl-
forum yesterday morning. Although
the school began its term n week
ago, opening exercises were deferred
until yesterday because it was belleV-
ed that such exercises on the opening
day had a tendency to demoralize
the children. Short talks were made
Yesterday by Congressman Finley,
Superintendent of Education John E.
Carroll, Thos. F. mellow, ESQ.,, and
Rev. F.. E. Gillespie. The school en-
rollment is considerably larger than
it was last year and the tenth grade
is the largest in years, twenty-nlne
pupils being enrolled.
- Superintendent Riddle. OF the
Yorkvile Graded schools, has promul-
gated a rule requiring all teachers 10
remain on duty one-half hour after
the regular closing time. The regular
closing time is $50 p. m, and the
rule keeps the teachers until 800 p.
m. The logic Of the rule is that If the
teacher knows that he or she must
remain a half hour after school, the
Superintendent can depend upon 1t
that all children who need to be kept
in will have to remain. There mas
been some objections to this new rule
on the part of certain of the teach
ers: the rules committee Of the board
of trustees has sustained the rule as
being Il very proper one.
The following dispatch Of Friday,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-09-14

Mr.. Will D. Upshaw has written the
following account of the prohibition
meeting last night at the courthouse
for the Daily Mail. 1t is a good, i'm
partial story and was written by Mr..
Upshaw while riding between Ander-
son and Bolton and then mailed back
here:
The oldest inhabitant'' is ready to
declare that he never saw anything
just like it before in the Anderson
courthouSe-we mean that prohibition
rally with its overlooking crowd and
its still more overlooking enthusiasm.
People are talking all over town to-
day, wondering how the crowd got
there. Governor Hanley and Mr..
Stewart had been advertised for a
eloquent and superb, but they had
about a half a house full of people.
The first announcement of the COM
ing Of Will D. Upshaw, the Georgia
Cyclone, was made by DR.. John E.
White at the First Baptist church
prayer meeting Wednesday night, but
the circulars were not put on the
streets until Friday morning, but
their catchy announcement and the
general handshaking of the Georgian
on the streets got it in h air some
how that there was going to be some
thing doing at the courthouse Friday
night.
From the time Rev. j. w. Speake
uttered q few ringing sentences in his
opening address on through DR.. John
f. Whites brief but brilliant speech,
there was eager enthusiasm on every
side. DR.. White whetted the appetite
of Anderson with his pungent, elo-
quent plea for the democracy and
safety of statewide prohibition and
then introduced the speaker of the
evening, Will ID. Upshaw, philanthropy
list of struggling boys and girls and
the friend of God and man in his fight
against the liquor traffic.
From the opening sentence, Upshaw
caught the crowd and as he sat on the
table inside the courthouse bar the
Georgia editor and orator on crutches
walked off with his crowd with flash
ed and sparkled argument and
sarcasm which cut TO the quick, but
the big hearted love for suffering sim
ming humanity more than anything
else was the speakers strong weapon
against the liquor traffic.-Anderson
Daily Mail.
We are reproducing the above not
so much because of the present i'm
portanCe of the subject matter as be-
cause of the comprehensive illustra-
ton it affords of one of the problems
that is n constant source Of embar-
rassment to the country editor.
AS to whether the Daily Mail asked
Mr.. Upshaw to write up that prohibit
ton meeting we do not know; but we
are willing to venture that it did not,
else it would have tried to handle the
same in Il different n Most
likely it would have thrown the story
in the waste basket and sent n report
er to get facts from people who were
present.
Our guess is that this story is a vol
untary contribution. Mr.. Upshaw
wrote it in the third person and it APP
pears that he IA expecting it to be
published as if it were written by the

since the Rev. Ham conducted a meet
ing here a year ago: THE Ham re-
vival closed Wednesday night with
the largest attendance since the meet
ing began three weeks ago. Not less
than 1900 were crowded into and
around the tent and the great meet
ing closed amid scenes Of deepest in
terest. Mr.. Ham Is one of the most
convincing pulpit speakers who has
been here and his have made
a profound impression upon all who
have heard them. There were more
than 200 conversions and many acces-
sions to the different churches. Mr..
Ham, with Mr.. Lyon, who has charge
of the singing, left Thursday morning
for Laurel Bloomery, Tenn, where he
will hold a 10-days' meeting. Sep
TENDER 20 he will begin a meeting at
Hamlet in which the churches are
united in the call for the revival.
