WHY | NEED A sILO.

Twelve good reasons why the farm
eer should provide himself with a silO
are given by r. b. Woodward of the
Dairy Division, U s. Department of
Agriculture in Farmers Bulletin No.
556. Every one of them touches some
spot of vital importance to the feed
er.
/. More feed can be stored in a
given space in the form of silage than
IN the form of fodder or hay.
2. There is a smaller loss of food
material when a crop is made into
silage than when cured as fodder or
nay.
3. Corn silage is a more efficient
food than corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn can be placed
IN the silo at less cost than the same
area can be husked and shredded.
s. Crop can be in the silo during
weather that could not be utilized for
making hay or curing fodder
6. More stock can be kept on a
given area of land when silage is the
basis of the ration.
2. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder. Good
silage properly fed is all consumed.
8. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage like other succulent
feeds, has a beneficial effect upon the
digestive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
Eorm in which a succulent feed can
be provided for in winter use.
II. Silage can be used for supple
wenting pastures more economically |
4han can soiling crops, because it re- |
qEires less labor. and silage is more |
palatable.
12 Converting the corn crop in
90 silage clears the land and leaves
4 ready for another crop.

Almost anything in the way of for
age crops may be put in the silo and
will keep until it is needed.
Since about the year 1880, silos
have increased rapidly in number in
the United States until now they are
extensively used, especially in those
states devoted to the dairy industry.
There is a general awakening through
out this state to the fact that a good
COW will give fair returns if given
care and feed. The day is rapidly
passing when the COW will be kept
for the manure produced and to fur
nish labor during the few slack win
ter months. With this progress of
the dairy industry, the silO is finding
its proper place. There is no sound
business reason why a man with ten
cows or more should not have a silo.
over the line in Maryland, during the
past year, the Dairy Extension De-
partment has assisted in construct
ing a number of homemade stave
silos at a reasonable cost, which are
giving excellent satisfaction A num-
Der OF men in this state have lumber
out for stave silOs and some intend
to build concrete silos.
The dairy farmer with the silO will
tell you that his only regret is that
he didn't have silo long ago. The
successful business man does not put
OF until tomorrow what he can do
today, and the dairy farmer without
silo cannot afford to put off until
next year the building of a silo.
The Agricultural Extension De-
partment, Delaware College, Newark,
Delaware, will furnish, on request,
free Of charge, a bill of materials and
specifications for the size and kind
Of a home made stave or concrete silo
a man may desire. We will gladly
give personal assistance to as many
as possible

Catching Shad in Large Numbers

Catching Shad In Large Numbers.
The days of sunshine which came
this week encouraged the shad fisher
men to think that they will be reward
ed after all for their expense and la
Dor, expended in preparing for the
fishing season. The shad is the best
of all fish caught in the Delaware
Bay, and so far quite a number of
the boats going out have averaged 80
to 100 shad as a catch on one fishing
tide. 1t is believed that if the wealth
er remains as favorable next week as
it has been this week a satisfactory
seasons work will be a certainty.
The buyers have paid very good pric-
es at the steamboat wharf here, but
several fishermen have shipped their
shad to the city markets in prefer
ence to selling here. They ship via
the Steamer Frederica.

Webb at this work; he jumps right
into the work, hustles the bags from
the vessel to the wagons, and even
helps to store them in the farmers
load. 1t is that kind of effort which
brings success for his sales to the
farmers; his helpfulness is appreci-
ated by the farmers and he gets their
order the following year.

an important place in the lyceum, for
there is much demand for just such

there are comparatively few such COM

The vote was 1913 on straight party
lines. Senator Shields CT Tennessee,
who arrived at the last moment, voted
with the other Democrats in favor of
the confirmation.
Senator Cummins was not present,
but re was allowed to have his vote
counted against Brardeis.
The matter will now go to the full
Senate, where a protracted fight is in
prospect.
Members of the committee favor
able to Brandeis were jubilant. They
held the party vote in committee fore
casts Il similar division on the Senate

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

Berlin (via LondoG), May "a. -
The capture by Thurirgian troops of
the village of Cumieres, cast of Dead
Man Hill, on the Verdun front, and
retention cf the positions taken from
the British near Givenchy, was an
nounced by the War Office this after
noon. Cumieres was taken by storm.
So far more than 800 prisoners, in
Guiding eight officers, have been taken
by the Germans in this operation.
The communicates says:
"Western theater: Southwest of
Givenchy strong English forces attack
our new positions repeatedly. Only
scattered troops were able to pene-
trate them. These troops fell in the
hand-to-hand combats. In other re-
spects, all their attacks were repulsed
with very severe English losses.
Small detachments met with similar
fate near Hulluch and Blaireville.
"TO the west of the MeISe we COM
pletely repulsed by our infantry and
machine gun fire an enemy attack on
the southwestern slope of lie Mort
Homme.
"Thuringian troops took by storm
the village of Cumieres. Up to the
present more tran 300 French, includ-
ing eight officers, have been taken as
prisoners.
"To the east of the Meuse the enc

Douaumont region and suffered most
severe losses by our fire. The ground
Temporarily lost by US was almost
entirely recaptured by our brave regi-
ments, and they made more than $50
prisoners. The fighting still contin-
ues, supported by very heavy artillery
fire from both sides"

FINCH IS CHOSEN
G. O.P.D DOORKEEPER
FOrnfelt Lawyer Will be Sergeant
alarms at Chicago Republi-
can Meet.

James A. Finch, the well-knowr
attorney of Forfeit, has been named
one of the assistant ergeant-at-arms
of the Republican National Conven-
ton, which convenes in Chicago June
7, or two weeks from yesterday. This
appointment will place him in charge
Of one of the entrances to the Coli
scum, where the convention will be
held.
Mr.. Finch is former Circuit Judge
and served one term as Secretary of
the Republican State Committee. He
is one Of the best known Republicans
in this section of Missouri and has
been prominent in State politics for
& number Of years.
As door-keeper he will have for dis
tribution large number of tickets of
admission 20 the Coliseum, and it is
understood that the Republicans of
Southeast Missouri are organizing to
march on him in a body. He hos
cndeavOred to keep his appointment 4
secret in order to prevent .. stampede
from pass-seekers, but it became gen
orally known in FOrnfelt yesterday.
and a report from that city last night
stated that ne remained in his Office
yesterday afternoon with the door
locked and barred to ward off an in
vasiOn.
The demand for passes to the two
rational conventions has been abnor-
nal this year. Harry E. Alexander,
who last week received 4 bundle of
tickets to the Democratic convention,
mas been compelled to spend most of
his time in his automobile in order to
elude his pursucrs. He stated yester-
day that he had given away his last
ticket.
Finch and Alexander have been
made the tcdians of all the passes
allotted to Southeast Missouri by those
in charge Of the two national conven-
tiors. They will be able to take care
of the Southeast MisScurians who f2il
to get tickets to the big meetings. As
sergeant-at-arms and door-keeper,
Mr.. Finch will be in = position to pass
in his friends, provided, of course,
they are able TO locate his door.
As there are more than a dozen
entrances to the Chicago Coliseum,
Mr.. Finch expects to escape from
many Southeast Missourians.
