Silagc it is all readily eaten by the
farm animals. 1t is economical TO
store silage as it requires less than
one half the space taken by hay.
According to variousexpcriments
conducted by the Dairy Division
of the Bureau of Animal Industry.
Washington, ID. c., and expert
ment stations of the United States
and other countries, silage will
greatly reduce the cost of feed for
dairy COWS and increase the milk
production, Sllage is palatable
foodstuff. 1t is more conveniently
fed than hay or corn fodder. 1t
keeps the stock in a thrifty cOndi-
ton Ghd young stock growing ali
winter. Eight to ten tons of ,ilage
can be grown on All acre of land
that would produce two tons Of hay.
About three tons Of silagc is worth
one ton of hay i'll feeding value.
The acreage production of feed
units IS, therefore, twcnty-fv to
thirty per cent greater i'll silage
crops than in hay crops.
SilaGc enable, one to keep Il
larger number of live stock OIL a
given area Of land than NAY be
kept on forage crops cut for hay.
II furnishes succulent food during
the summer when drouths frequent
ly occur. Silage prevents waste
of corn cobs, stalks and over-ripe
fodder that will not be eaten by
the animals.
The effect Of silage on the flavor
of mill; has been a disputed ques-
ton among some farmers, but it
has been proven beyond doubt
that good silage will in no way
affect the flavor Of mill
The Improvement in silo cons
truction and better machinery for
preparing the ensilage for even
distribution and packing i'll the
silo have made it possible to secure
a better quality of silage with less
loss than was secured a few years
ago.-C. II. Staples, Dairy Specia-

ROOSEVELT
RESPONSIBLE
Kept Steamship Control Out
Of 1908 Proceed
ings
MR.. MELLEN TESTIFIED
IN NEW HAVEN CASE
Due to misunderstanding,
Says Witness-Public
Benefited by Mergers

New York, Dec. l0.-Theodore Roose
welt, as president, was responsible
Charles s. Mellen testified yesterday, fol
the failure of Attorney General Bona
parte to include the control of steamship
lines as part of the complaint in the
bill of equity he filed against the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
in 1908, under the Sherman antitrust
law.
This was the bill, chiefly directed
against the New Ravens control OF
the Boston & Maine railroad, which was
withdrawn in 1909 by Attorney General
| Wiekersham.
The testimony was ELECTED from Mr..
Mellen as part of the case for the de-
Tense at the resumption yesterday of
New Haven railroad on the charge of
criminal violation of the Sherman law.
Mr.. Mellen testified that the reason
Col. Roosevelt ordered the exclusion or
the steamship feature was because of a
misunderstanding of what he tMellen)
had said at the interview he had with
the then president in 1907 on the ques-
ton of the New Haven selling all its
steamship properties to Charles w.
Morse. Mellen had previously testified
that Col Roosevelt had not been in favor
of the New Haven disposing of the prop
critics to Morse.
"At later date said Mr. Mellen yes.
terday, "Mr. Roosevelt felt that / had
used what he said as a basis for going
further than | was entitled TO. / think
he referred TO our subsequent purchase
of the Merchants and Miners lines. |
was very much exercised over this mis-
understanding, and was not content TO
have him think | had taken advantage
of him. ] obtained from Herbert Knox
Smith commissioner of corporations,
who was present at the interview a
of what had transpired,
which sustained me and satisfied me that
was right"
Mr.. Roosevelt, the witness continued,
was not satisfied with this and excluded |
rom the bill Of equity filed against the
New Haven during his administration all
mention of steamship lines.
From the date of the bringing of the
iuit the New Haven had made no fur
her steamship acquisitions.
Mr.. Mellen added that from the sub
tance of his interview with the presi-
lent he was convinced that both Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr. Smith were anxious
hat Morse should not get the New Ha-
en steamships.
The witness testified that at this time
he New Haven had received protests
rom chambers of commerce, boards OF
rade and other public bodies in New
highland against the proposed sale. The
irectors, be said, decided 10 sell the lines

Alleged Illegal control OF steamship

RIGHT TREATMENT
 FOR FENCE POSTS
Pile Neatly and Allow Them to Thoroughly Season-Plan
 for Charring.

When most farmers prepare to build fences they set green posts and then when they begin to rot of at the top of the ground after four or five years they grumble and fret a great deal about the trials and tribulations of fencing. As . matter of fact. if the posts are neatly piled in the dry and allowed to thoroughly season. and then are treated by charring the end which is to be placed in the ground. and the top. which should be slanting. is painted with red lead and linseed oil, they will last 50 or 60 years.
 Here is the method for charring. Build a heap of logs 10 or 12 feet long. set it on fire. and when burning brisk ly. lay upon the fire the ends of as many posts as it will accommodate crosswise- Turn them over time or two. and when slight coal has formed upon tue surface. throw them into a pile and put on others. You can treat four or five hundred a day and If practiced by every farmer when build ing fence 1t would save enough in a few years to build good roads in every community

 Do not give the sow's nest too much litter at farrowing time. Many pigs are destroyed by too full nest.
 No nest ever made for a hen beats a half barrel laid on its side. particularly for March weather.
 The bees will be taking a spring flight. Examine them after they come back to ascertain if they have enough food to last till the blossoms come.
