in raising grain for market on the
small farm the big money must
come from live stock, from milk,
from eggs, and poultry.
Goffart. who is called the father
of modern silage," on his little farm
of less than eighty-siX acres, at Bur
tin, France, kept a herd OF sixty
COWS, besides number of steers
during the winter Eye witnesses
say that he had ample feed on hand
to keep one hundred head of cattle
for a whole year And this is by no
means a remarkable case; it is well
within the possibility OF almost any
hustling farmer in this country
THE silo is a profitable investment
for the farmer with as few as five
head of cattle.
ut is, of course, evident that the
advantages gained on the small farm
nv the use of a silo are multiplied
in proportion on the large farm
The silo is no longer an expert
ment. There is nothing that vii
WELD a greater profit to the farmer
he saves the crop from the root t'
the tassel, and his feedstuif Is as
sured. no matter what the weather
conditions may chance to be.

GREAT NEED
Of PRISON
INDUSTRIES
BOARD OF AFFAIRS RECOMMEND
APPROPRIATIONS FOR rrElR
ESTABLISHMENT FOR BENEFIT
OF INMATES.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 12.-The need
for industries in the ponitentiary is
pointed out to the legislature by the
beard of public affairs in its report
and recommendation for appropria-
tions This need is based in the fact
that there is not at this time suf-
iicient employment for the prisoners
for their own good portion OF the
text for this report is follows;
In making our recommendations
for appropriations for the penal in
stitutions of this state for the COM
ing biennial term, we desire to call
attention to the lack of employment
for the inmates at these institutions
We find that the population at the
penitentiary at this time is approx
mately LOO, with employment for
only small per cent, that small per
cent being employed at farm work
and in construction work. Shortly
the construction work will be prac-
tically completed at the penitentiary
and the only employment for this
large amount of people will be that
provided by farm and in the general
upkeep of the institution.
I'VE recommend that there is a
great necessity that immediate steps
be taken to remedy this condition.
The feasibility of several different
kinds Of shops within the penitenti-
airy walls has been suggested, among
which is a chair factory, cotton mills,
twine plant, etc. II any shops are
inaugurated it will be necessary to
build building or buildings in which
to house them For this reason we
have not made any specific recon %
mendation as to buildings, but rec
ommend that if decision is reached
as to the amount of shops to be
placed at this institution, that in con-
nection with this recommendation II
will be necessary for the proper au-
| thorities to decide on the scope anC
| kind of buildings necessary.
I'VE also suggest from our inyes
tigations of conditions at the peni.
tentiary that there is a large mum
Der of men who could be, we believe
profitably employed by the state il
improving roads and other publi'
enterprises that would not interfere
with free labor, but be beneficial t

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
abundant. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful eff
feet
But brewing at home is mussy and
out -of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff,
dry. feverish, itchy scalp and falling
hair.
4 well known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears aud
after another application or two it
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, and
abundant

AN UNUSUAL REQUEST
Mother Of a 14-Year-Old Girl Would
Marry Her to a Negro.

Marry Her to Negro.
Our old friend Bob Dawson who now
resides in Fort Scott, Kan, has sent
MS a clipping from the Fort Scott
Monitor, which tells story of a moth
er accompanying her young daughter
to the office of the probate court to
obtain license for her to marry a
negro. man named Russell happen
ed to preside over that court and he
was rcpelled by the unusual request
of the mother and refused to issue the
license. The mother insisted that the
laws of Kansas permit the intermar-
riage of the white and the black races
and insisted upon her rights under
the law, although her daughter was
but IA years of age. The probate judge
replied that although the law permit
ted such marriages 1t also gave the
probate Judge the right to refuse to
issue licenses under such conditions,
and the judge did not have the pa
tience to make further inquiry into
the objects of the woman in desiring
10 marry her child to a negro man
The woman was crippled and unkempt,
the girl was ignorant and unkempt,
but with that the probate judge, even
in bleeding Kansas, had too much
humanity in his soul to permit such a
marriage in his court
The story of the woman and her
daughter caught the eye of Bob Davis
on. He always lived in the south and
was reared with southern sentiments,
and the very thought of such re
quest being made by mother was al
most unbelievable with him.

FARMERS ARE
TALKING S|LOS
SEVERAL HAVE BEEN MAKING
INQUIRIES OF LOCAL DEALERS
AND MANY siLOS WILL BE
ERECTED.

Local dealers in silos and silo ma
terial have been receiving inquiries
lately from progressive farmers and
land owners of this county, and the
indications are at present that many
will be erected in this county the
coming season.
1t was not so very long ago-in
fact, a very short time ago-when
the first silo was erected in this
county as an experiment, and when
its worth was demonstrated, several
more followed quickly until now all
farmers are interested, and within a
few years it is confidently expected
that there will be one or more silos
on every farm in this county, Feed
ers are beginning to realize the value
Of silage as a feed for stock, as
compared with pasturage. The fol-
lowing on the subject is quoted from
one of the best authorities on silos
and silage in the world today, and is
worth perusing by all who contem-
plate building:
Experiments prove that it takes
two acres of good land to pasture a
COW six months in summer, and
even then she will need some other
forage crop to supplement it a part
of the time, especially during spells
of drought. She will also need some
grain food to enable her to do her
best. An acre of good corn, planted
properly, will produce Is tons of Sill
age. which will feed four cows 4O
pounds each per day for six months
The use of silage winter and
summer enables the farmer to change
his stock from grass to dry feed ana
double the pounds of butter that can
be produced from given area OF
land without the Objectionable ana
harmful results that sudden
change so often causes. Your STOCK
will never miss the grass if you
have silage to take its place. With
out a silo this is impossible; witt
n silo it is not only possible, but
very easy thing to keep at leas
twice the number OF animals on the
land than can be kept by the more
primitive system OF pasturing ah'
feeding dry feeds during the winter
Pasturing cattle or any other hV'
stock is an expensive method o
feeding at any time, especially wher'
land is high; and as land increases
l in value more and more, stock mus
be kept on the same area in orde
to increase correspondingly profit
from the land.
"The silo makes the small farme
| practically independent of pasturin
land. 1t enables him to feed NOR
cattle in the area at his disposa
than can be fed in the same limit
in any other way. The silo solve
the stock feeding problem for tn
small farmer. 1t solves the problem
OF profits There is no money mad

COMPARING COUNTIES AND COUNTY STAT.

A few years ago announcement that
an Iowa county seat town proposed to
pave the square or the main street
was an item to be copied in every Iowa
newspaper. 1t is not many years since
the streets Of Iowa towns OF 1000 to
5000 were simply dirt roads given all
most as little care as the average dirt
street gets nowadays within the city
limits. And now those who have not
visited any particular Iowa county seat
town for several years find new city
when they arrive.
AS an instance, Eldora Her main
streets and the town square are paved
and citif1ed as any to be found in the
larger cities. Her sidewalks leading
from the depot to the business district
are wider and better than some OF the
sidewalks on Locust street in the state
capital and largest city in Iowa. Paw
ing extends into the residence districts
and upon the main thoroughfare be-
tween the city and the country excel
lent paving runs a mile or SO out from
the square" And Eldora is a type of
northern Iowa county seats. They are
all doing it.
There are two sides to the improve
ment Of these towns OF course their
business men and others who have ao-
complished the improvements are en-
titled to much credit. The other side
is that If they had not done these
things they would be properly subject
to severe criticism as unprogressive
towns. For they sit in the finest farm
Ing country OF the world and enjoy a
trade so firm and unshakable that an
ordinary panic scarcely affects them or
their business. OF those to whom much
is given it is fair to expect much. And
Iowa has been and is the beneficiary Of
unbounded opportunity.
When we consider that the oppor-
tunity Of the city and the business man
has been secondary to that Of the far
mers and the farms that surround
these towns and that the agriculturists
have been drst in favor, that mighty
crops and good prices have ruled for
fifteen years, that land prices have
risen and doubled and quadrupled
within that period. that boys who will
vote within the next five years have
never seen $50 per acre farm, never
known crop failure, never seen a IS
hog or $25 COW the query states tt
self: why shouldn't the farm COM
munities have the good roads and the
capable schools they have earnedr The

Law ENFORCEMENT.

lDes Moines Register and Leader
A very interesting inquiry is sug-
gested by Lieutenant Governor Hard
ing's statment that, I'm order to
have law enforcement, it is first nee
essary to have respect for law"
Is it respect for law that brings
law enforcement, or Is it law en-
forcement that creates respect for
law?
The trouble in the past has been
that great many laws for which the
people have had respect were not en-
forced and public sentiment has be-
come atrophied
In fact, we believe it would be DIFF
ficult here in Iowa to point to non-en-
forcement because Of any general want
of respect for the laws not enforced,
while it would be easy enough to point
to a great deal Of general community
laxity due directly to the awkwardness
and inefficiency Of the law enforcing
machinery.
In the case Of a disorderly school
there is never any question. 1t is
not any general want of respect for
authority on the part of the student
body, it is want Of managerial ability
on the part of the principal.
The community is a body Of grown
up school children. When the rules
are not respected plain analogy
would suggest that the machinery OF
enforcement be inspected and the char
acter and capacity Of the rule enforce
ing officials.

The state senate has defeated the
Jones bill which provided for state in
spection of private banks. Why. no
one, except, perhaps. the senate, knows.
1t seems right and proper to most
folks that the depositors in pri-
vate banking institutions should have
their money safeguarded as carefully
as those who deposit their funds in
national and state banks. Just why the
senate has concluded that such is not
the case is beyond understanding. A
little investigation on its part would
have revealed that the amount OF
money deposited in institutions under
federal or state supervision lost to de-
positors is so small in proportion to the
amount on deposit that its percentage
can hardly be figured. Further investi-
CATION by the senate would have dem
onstrated that such happy condition
Of deposits so far as private banks are
concerned would not be forthcoming.
Iowa has had It's share of ugly private
bank failures and 1t would have been
we'll had the senate seen fit to safe
guard the future by state supervision
of private banks, a supervision which
banks of this character, If they are on
sound basis, should be the first to
welcome.

AFFORD paving for its own ccnven-
fence, cleanliness and advantage! Why
should the farm be isolated any longer
when every farmer has or can have an
automobile and when modern neces-
sity counsels road good every day In

The town that holds to the dirt
streets and the muddy square and the
mudpuddles where the horses hoofs
have dug pitfalls before the hitchins
posts would be considered back num-
Der by the farmers who frequent good
towns. BY the same test isn't main
thoroughfore impossible during part

passes?
