MAKES PLEA FOR THE BIRDS
Milwaukee Newspaper Points Out
How Necessary They Are In War
ring on Insect World.

War and rumors OF war are on
every side and occupy our minds =
large part of the time. There is an
ever present fear OF danger to our
country. There is real danger which
is not considered as seriously or as
frequently as it should be. There is
in many localities reckless destruc-
tion of bird life. THE hawk has
caught chicken is the cry The
hawk must be shot. The owl shares
his fate. This is without thought Of
the thousands Of moths and injurious
insects which they have destroyed,
thus enabling you to enjoy some Of
the fruits you have been endcavoring
to raise. Had these birds not helped
you by killing insects, you would have
no fruit at all. The North American
calls attention to the fact that ''one
pair Of gypsy moths. unchecked. would
In eight years produce a brood that
would destroy every yestige Of foliage
in the United States" What is the
value of one fowl. compared with the
thousands of injurious insects de-
stroyed? These birds also relieve you
OF an army OF mice that are destruc.
tive. Many other birds are the good
friends OF man, clearing trees from
scale, and various injurious things
that. unaided. he would be unable to
cope with. Instead of killing every
hawk or owl you see, learn about the
birds and discover which amons then
are your friends. Few birds deserve
death at your hand. Without the birds

every comfort and pleasure Milwau

FEEDING VALUE OF
ALFALFA ENSILAGE
Interesting and Instructive Re.
port Of Experiments Made
at California Station.

With q view to determining the
feeding value of silage made from
first-cutting alfalfa composed Of at
least half foxtail and weeds, 107 three
and four-year-old native range steers
weighing approximately s7o pounds
each were fed by the California Sta
tion for 46 days on q daily ration Of
1915 pounds Of alfalfa hay. 2o.2 pounds
Of silage. and S.4 pounds rolled barley.
They made an average daily gain Of
1.6a pounds per head, requiring per
pound of gain So pounds Of hay. 13.1
pounds Of silage and 81 pounds Of
barley.
The alfalfa was put into the silo
about May l, and feeding was begun
In July. The silage as fed out was
well made. of dark brown color and
Of slightly acidulated, aromatic flavor.
That in the lower part Of the silo was
more moist than that In the upper
part and was apparently relished best
by the steers. While most OF the
silage was not taken with particular
relish 1t was always eaten up clean.
with the exception Of few days dur
ing the middle Of July. when layer
of partially spoiled silage was reached,
at point where the filling Of the silo
had been interrupted for a few days.
The foxtail heads, which would have
caused great trouble In feeding the
alfalfa as hay. were eaten before ha~
ing a chance to dry out.

(By W. NJ. KELLY
In order to grow successful crops for
less cost than they will sell for in the
market. we must feed them out on the
farm, SO that we shall realize more
than the market price for them, and
thus make two profits Could we mar
ket what we raise for an increased
price we would rot need to raise SO
much to meet expenses. And II we
could realize profit above the mar,
ket price for our feeding crops, we
should in many instances double our
incomes, and without adding to the
cost OF production and SO have less
cause to complain of low prices and
overDroduction.
The first step towards more profit,
able feeding is improved stock. There
are very few farms that are not sup.
porting animals at loss on account OF
their inferior quality.
We should keep not only more good
stock, but we should keep those that
are adapted to our needs.
Diversified farming is the safest.
Different soils require different crops.
and upon all, farm rotation is essential
to profitable production. But the feed
ing OF live stock is separate and
distinct branch Of the business. and
the narrower the limits to which we
confne ourselves the better the re.
suits.
Study the adaptation OF your farm
its location to good markets. your own
likes and dislikes and then specialize
upon the kind OF stock husbandry that
judgment teaches is best for your
farm.
The beef producer will not find il
profitable to keep Jerseys, nor the
dairyman Herefords.
1t is feeding special-purpose animals
that has enabled feeders to realize
profits on the amount Of feed that is
consumed and it is the feeding Of dairy
animals that has enabled dairymen to
make their business profitable.
The better the animals the larger
the profits. and the animals that are
bred for special purposes are more
certain of giving good results.
While 1t is my opinion that dairy
farming Is the most profitable manner
Of realizing good profits on home
grown feeds. yet II is out of the ques-
tion fer all OF US to become dairy farm
ers. Some will do better with sheep
and some with horses.
It is not profitable for a man to
handle animals that he docs not like
and that he can take no pride and in
terest in keeping in a good condition.
The most important requisite for feed
ing any kind OF stock Is pure water
and plenty Of IT.; other things may be
neglected to certain extent. but the
water is indispensable.
More than one-half OF the live
weight Of all our domestic animals is
water. and water is the universal sol.
vent. the medium by which all sub
The Raymer enterprise., 1915-09-23

stances that nourish plant and animal
life are made available.
Another important factor is good
shelter, protection from heat and
cold. 1t requires food to maintain heat
in the body. and the amount required
for this is much greater II the ami.
mails do not have protection from the
cold. On some farms the amount OF
feed required to keep up heat is more
than the amount converted into
growth and fat.
Many Of US fail to preserve our
feeding crops in way to make them
palatable and digestible. II they are
not palatable they will not be eaten,
and II they are not digestible they will
produce no good results
Too much Of the food finds its way
into the manure without being eaten
on account Of not being palatable.
and much that is eaten many times
fails to nourish on account of not be,
ing digestible.
Overripe hay that is damaged, over.
ripe straw, corn fodder and stalks that
have become woody contain but q
small per cent OF nutritive value which
they would have possessed had they
been cut and cured at the proper time.
The silo offers way by which we
can preserve our corn crop at a time
when 1t is Of the greatest feeding
value and keep 1t without waste and
preserve 1t in the best, most palatable
condition. SO that 1t will furnish the
greatest possible amount Of nourish.
ment.
II you have silo, the stalks may be
improved by cutting and fed to the
stock after being sprinkled with water
and little mill feed.
II preserved in good condition, the
cattle will consume about all OF the
hay. straw and fodder with very little
waste, and SO yield us all the profit
there Is In them.
II seems the height Of folly to grow
good crops and feed them out under
conditions that will not allow Of
profits.
No single crop will form balanced
ration for any animal, when fed alone.
We need to make combining foods q
study II we would feed them to the
best advantage. We must remember
that we are keeping our farm stock un-
der more artificial conditions every
year and II we confine them to one
kind Of food, they cannot make the
best gains and keep in healthy condi-
ton. Unless they have the kind Of
food best suited to their needs their
development is slow and uncertain.
The soil stands ready to give large re-
turns to intelligent farmers. Every
well bred animal on the farm, by the
very law Of its being. is ready and able
to assist in giving additional value to
all crops that are grown on the farm,
II we only surround them with the
right conditions. Successful feedins
depends entirely upon the man.

The exterior OF this house presents
a massive appearance considering its
size. This effect is due more to the
method OF building the front porch
than anything else. The gable over
the porch is built with different pitch
roof than the one over the front part
Of the house. This is an unusual et-

one OF the many ways of adding a
