Thomas Hall, secretary Of
state, announces that he has
distributed, during the year
1914, the sum of $50, ,345.77 to the
good road funds of the fifty-two
counties Of the state, dividing tn
money to each county according
to- the number Of automobiles
and motorcycles registered with

such as this, devoted annually
to the building of good roads
will, if spent wisely, soon have
an appreciably beneficial effect
upon the roads Of the state.
The total amount collected by.
the secretary of state from the
registration Of motor vehicles
during 1914 was $50, ,964.0O. The
expense, which included cost Of

ing, clerkhire, etc. amounted to
S., ,o13.86, leaving the net amount
as given above. The total num-
Der Of automobiles registered was

motorcycles registered and re-
ceiNed $770.48 from the fund for

Silo a Saver Of
Labor and Money
tt Will Soon Be as Common on
thu Farm as the GranaIy
and Other Buildings
By A. J. Mcclure, Extension Di-
vision, Minnesota College of Ag-

By A. J. Mcclure, Extension Dr.
vision, Minnesota College Of Ag-.
riculture:
A silo that costs from 5000 to-
$500, with special machinery in
addition, seems an expensive ad-7
dition to the farm feeding equip
ment, but when the whole busi-
ness is considered it is found
that ensilage is one Of the most
efficient feeds produced on the
farm, and the silo a profitable
investment where fifteen or more
head Of cattle are kept.
&dlage is not a complete milk
producing feed. Some hay and
grain must be fed in connection,
but the chief value of the silo is
that a field of corn put in the
silo will feed more cattle than
if the corn were, shocked in the
field and fed dry, and it will
feed more cattle with less work.
In handling the corn crop
without silo there is big waste,
sometimes as much as so per
cent. Cornstover is seldom
more than half-consumed. The
stocks are dry and woody and
hard for the cows to eat and diff
ficut to digest. With corn-fod1
der there is considerable loss in
the same way. But when the
corn is put in the silo as it is
cut in the field, while it is
still green and still contains
it's natural juices, it comes out
of the silo in much the same con-
dition, whether in January or
the following July when the
pasture is bare.
No other building on the farm
will store as much rough feed in
so small a space as the silo, or
keep it in better condition.
: When farmers come to rea-
lie the value Of the silo, its
convenience for handling feed
and the good effect Of the feed,
the silo will be as common on the.
farm as the granary is now.

dead whose dust we have covered

them no more. We are with them
when they enlist in the great
army of freedom. We see them
part with those they love. Some
are walking for the last time
in quiet woody places with the
maidens they adore. We hear

vows of eternal love as they
lingeringly part forever.
Others are bending over the.

FARMERS CAN GET
SEED TESTED AT SCHOOL

l am writing this note to call
attention to the farming and
seed distributing public that
the North Eakota Pure Seed
! uabrato1y is in position to very
materially aid them in procuring
seed Of good quality for owing
purposes.
Under the seed law the pure
seed labratory is authorized 10
test seeds free Of charge for any
citizen of North Dakota and re-
port upon the quality, is also au-
thorized to publish a list OF
names ane addresses of those
who have grown seed of any
kind Of high quality to send to
those who wish to buy seed
whether for sowing or for sale
and distribution to others.
1t. is the time Of the year that
many of you are laying in your
supply Of seed. The seed labra-
tory "an help you in two ways.
When you think Of buying any
kind Of seed, have the parties
who wish to sell to you submit
to you fair sample of what
they wish to- sell. You can send
these samples to the pure seed
labratcry, and we will make a
report, telling you exactly what
is in them and to the strength
OF growth.
Ii you have seed OF your own
growing, which you wish to sell
as seed, send us fair sample OF
it, prepared in the manner III
which you will undertake to sell
it for seed. You will be- inform
ed as to it's quality, and whether
| it meets the requirements of The
state seed law. etc. Ii found Of
high quality your name will be
listed. and sent to parties who
desire to pay that kind of seed.
This will help those who have
adAScO SCON SScu W sSii ~
also helps those who wish to pre-
cure good seed. 1t helps the
state, get good seed to SOW on
the Land, and thus help pay tiie
taxes.
The pure seed labratory does
not have much funds to work
with, and therefore, does not
have much opportunity to dc
seed inspection as perhaps should
be done, however, we can help
you q lot IN the ways indicated.
Send in your samples. H. L.
