WRITES FROM CANADA.

Lear EulC0r OF the GLOBE:
We had a bumper crop last year;
wheat yielded from 25 to 65 bushels
per acre and some wheat weighed 81
pounds to the bushel. Oats yielded
from so to ITO bushels per acre and
weighed As pounds per bushel-some
of them, not all; other crops were
good.
We may not have another crop like
the last in % years, but hope we will.
The winter has been very bad for
the past six weeks; it showed and we
had blizzards every few days. and the
thermometer went to 55 below zero
with a wind blowing from 80 to go
miles an hour. Lots of people had
their faces frozen while doing their
chores. We have had lots of SNOW :
about PA feet on the level the frost
got from one-half to three-fourths of an
inch thick on the windows, but it has
been very warm for the past three days
and the snow is melting very rapidly
and the ice gone from the windows.
This was the worst l ever saw.
l hope the U. S. A. won't get into
this war; if she does the whole world
will be drawn into it. All, how sad that
would be. Blessed is the peace make CT.
viii close with best wishes to the
Globe and my many friends.

ENSILACE 40 TO so PERCENT
BETTER AND MORE TO ACRE
Prairie Farmer Tells of Success With the So Makes Far
Better Feed for Cows, Steers and Hogs and
All Kinds of Livestock

1t is difficult to make people ex-
change their old ways for new and
better ones, but that the farmers of
Camas Prairie are going to do so In the
matter of adopting the silo as an i'm
proved and far superior means of pre-
serving feed for their stock over the
old way, there is no question. Every
experiment that has been made In the
use of ensilage has made a firm advo-
cate and enthusiastic booster for the
silo system. We give herewith the ex-
perience Of Herman /. Hanson, the well
known Ferdinand farmer, who has
been in Grangeville for the past week
taking medical treatment. This came
through letter written by him I'd the
Chronicle last week. 1t reads:
my silo was filled with a combina-
tion of peas and oats, which certainly
makes some feed, however, / had some
oats alone for test and the stock did
not like it as well as the peas and
oats. / seeded the peas and oats with
an ordinary grain drill, sowing 65
pounds of peas and 80 pounds Of oats
to the acre, which made a very nice
proportion as there was just enough
oats to make something for the peas
the crop with an ordinary binder and
made the harvesting very easy. 1
seeded 5A acres, measured ground,
and, as my silo is a 10x24 foot struc-
ture with a 34-ton corn silage capac-
ity, l have placed the tonnage of peas
and oats at 80 tons, this ensilage be-
ing lighter than corn, which would
make the yield strong six tons per
acre. From this one can plainly see
that they are able to get a great deal
more feed per acre by using the sil)
method, to say nothing of th'. quality
of the feed as compared with dry hay.
The cost of cutting my cr' with the
binder and putting it into the silp did
not exceed 80 cents per ton.

FIREMEN'S BALL THE BEST
EVER.

The Washington Birthday Ball Civ
en- by the fire laddies Tuesday night
of this week was one of the most sue
cessful affairs of the kind ever pulled
off in the town. There was an inn
mense crowd in attendance as dancers
and spectators, there being 100 odd
tickets sold, and the large floor at the
Schmadeka hall was kept fully occu-
pied with whirling dancers until the
hour of / a. IN. Our fire fighters are
entitled to the best treatment that can
be accorded, and there are few citi-
zens in the town who do not appre-
ciate the prompt and unselfish serv-
ices they have always rendered when
any of our homes are endangered by
the devastating element, sufficiently to
buy a ticket on an occasion of this
kind.

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
II you want to keep your hair looking
II best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much aikali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
Is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use. ~
one or two teaspoonfulH rvill cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. SIM
bly, moisten the hair with water and
rub 1t In. It makes an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather. which rinses out
easily, removing every particle Of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves tho scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky. bright, lustrous. fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.

Waterloo in his automobile and the
four men decided to return with the
Reinbeck farmer.

and Branham, who had suffered
broken leg recently, decided that he
did not care to risk his life in the car.
He left the party on Fourth street
near the waiting station. The men
became involved in an argument over
the manner in which Hercules was
driving and also over who should ride
in the front seat.
Miller, who is a small man. and
Hercules who is over six feet tall,
