A conference OF attorneys with Justice
Andrews on admitting parts of the
Bayne report delayed court conyening

Justice Andrews again ruled in IA

Bayne report except that bearing on
alleged Albany printing graft. He
excluded certain parts dealing with
alleged local graft and vice in Albany
and local political conditions
He ruled that the report was only

Barnes followed the reading of the
report closely. Roosevelt listened
carefully. Barnes sat nearer the
Colonel than on the first day of the
trial. but as usual turned his back on
the defendant
"A sham, farce and fraud was how
the printing contracts we're de-
nounced by the Bayne body. and said
Barnes was an immediate beneficiary
of the graft" This was the first
testimony in the case upon Roose-
velt's charges OF personal corruption
against Barnes and testimony which
the plaintiff yainly sought TO keep
out.
"The most conspicuous beneficiary
of this graft We find TO be William

SlL0 IS QUITE ECONOMICAL
Preserves PaIatabi!ity and SuccuIence
of Green Corn Plant for Winter
Cattle Feeding.

The Indiana experiment station
gives the following practical reasons
why farmers who keep live stock
should build a silo. Here they are:
The siIo preserves the palatability
and succulence of the green corn
plant
The siIo increases the live stock ca
pacity of the farm.
Silage is a good summer feed when
pastures are short.
Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo it
is an economical means of storing
forage.
The silo located near the feed man
ger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand in stormy as well as
fair weather.
The silo assists in reducing the cost
of grains in fattening cattle and sheep.
Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and
decreases the cost of production.
There are no stalks to bother in
the manure when corn is put into silo.
All should understand that siage
is not complete or balanced ration.
1t is a succulent food and should be
supplemented with some balancing
dry feed.

GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
Low, Heavy Soils Make Industry Pre-
carious-Much of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loan.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground, but poultry success is not met
on ground too poor to bear vegetation.
Low, heavy soils make poultry rails
ing precarious. The loss by disease
of many kinds in certain focks can be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such sell
is damp and cold the greater part Of
the year.
The success of many a poultryman
is not always so much due TO his feed
and care as the warm, dry sandy loan
the fowls live on.
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look well to the ground
you buy. If it is not ideal poultry
ground in soil, drainage and location,
you can scarcely make it that except
at a cost that eats up the profits fast.

Seeds with low vitality" sprout slow

those from fully matured seeds.
8. Size-Large and heavy seeds

ERRORS IN FEEDING PROTEIN
Plenty of Right Kind of Feed Is Re-
CURED to Run Milk Machine to
It's Fullest Limit.

1t is a great mistake to give the
COW Indifferent care until her milk
flow has greatly diminished, then try,
by feeding her heavy, to get her back
to her full flow.
The dairyman who withholds pro-
tein foods until the cows have cleaned
up all roughage will soon learn the
folly of his ways when he adds the
figures of his milk checks.
A worse mistake than high protein
feeding is made by many farmers.
That mistake is not feeding enough of
anything.
The man who goes into the dairy
business thinking that selecting good
cows and compromising balanced ra-
tons is all he needs to understand
is sure to wake up a sadder and wiser
man.
1t requires plenty of feed to run the
COW machine to its full limits. This
limit varies more than most people
seem TO think.
