good reasons why every farmer should

some spot of vital Importance:
Twelve Silo Reasons.
/. More feed can be stored in Civ
cu ~parr Iu The form of Silage than in
the form of fodder or hay.
=. There Is smaller loss of food
material when a crop is made into 81
lagr than when cured as fodder or
hay.
=. Corn SiIage is better feed than
corn fodder.
4. An acre Of corn can be placed in
the Silu at less cost than the same area
can be huSiied and shredded.
5. Crops can be put in the silo dur
ing weather that could not be utilized
in making hay or curing fodder.
6. More stock can be kept on a Civ
en- area of land when silage is the
basis of the ration.
Z. There IS less waste in feeding 81
fagc ihuu in feeding fodder. Good 81
laCe properly fed is all consumed.
=. SiIage is very palatable.
- SilaSc, like other SuccuIent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10 Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which Il Succulent feed can
be provided for winter use.
H. Silage can be used for supple
mentin% pasture more economically
than can soiling crops, because it re-
Quires less labor, and silage is more
palatable. WINE;
lage cleans the land and leaves it ready
for another crop.

introducing Foreign Plants.

The introduction of foreign seeds and plants by the United States de. pertinent of agriculture has assumed immense proportions. The total mum. Der of varieties introduced since 1907, when the section of seed and plant introduction was established, amount ed last July to more than 40,600. Dur ing the last year more than 2,000 va rieties were introduced, while I'll ,831 experimental plants and 11,465 pack cts of seed were placed with expert. mentors, and record was kept of each. During the same year more than 800 shipments of experimental seeds and plants were made to for eign agricultural institutions, in ex- change for material sent to this coun- try by them.

tions by railway and splendid roads. Switzerland, also, was so placed be- tween France, Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary that she was able to take certain toll in transit upon the trade which these lands did with one another. Lastly splendid source of revenue to the Swiss has been their incompatible mountain scenery. Ac- cording to one estimate, natural beau ties have been regularly bringing into Switzerland more than a hundred mil lion dollars of tourists money. Two of these sources of income, that de- rived from transit freight and that created annually by thousands of free- spending visitors, have been complete ly destroyed by the war; and it Is doubtful that the amounts thus lost to the mountain republics yearly rev. enue can be made good by even stren- uous attention to the special needs of the war markets.

France. Here cotton, laces, embroid- ribbons, locomotives, watches, clocks and leather wares are manufactured for export; while in the hills and fiat lands of the central plain are situated the Swiss farms, many of the impor- tant dairies, straw-plaiting, wood-carv- ing and chemical industries. The straw-plaiting is made by the peas antry. It is a home industry, as is that of the Swiss wood carving. De- spite it's isolation in the midst of great industrial competitors and its lack of almost all of the important raw mate rials, it is to it's mills and factories that Switzerland mainly owes it's wealth.
 The mountain republic derives less support from it's agriculture than does any country in Europe except Nor way, for only about one-sixth of it can been coaxed into being on the abrupt mountain sides, and to till them is al- most as dangerous task as that of the structural iron worker on a sky scrapeT Fully half of the country lies above the zone of agriculture, and much of the soil that could be made productive is used as pasture land. Switzerland grows hemp, flax, cara way, fruits (citron, lemon, mulberry, orange, olive and pomegranate), corn, maize, oats, poppies, potatoes, barley rye, spelt, saffron, tobacco and wheat. In normal times it had to inn port from Russia, Hungary and the United States three times as much wheat as it produced. It produces con siderable value in timber.
 Not Much in the Way of Minerals.
 Moreover, there is no important mineral production in Switzerland, for the mountains belong to geological for- nations unproductive of valuable min erals. Some coal is found in the can tons of Valais, Vaud, Fribourg, Berne and Thurgau and some iron in the Jura. Rock salt and building stone form the most important mineral prod ucts The Swiss have to depend upon wood and foreign coal for fuel and upon foreign ores in their metal work ing industries. Germany and France contributed coal, metals, wool, flax,
The Pulaskian., 1916-01-28

and cereals to Swiss markets. Liver pool sent the cotton to the great goods and embroidery factories at St. Gall, while Italy furnished the silk, straw for plating, grains, fruits wool, skins and certain proportion of the cot ton.
 So it was upon the output of manu- factured articles for export that the Swiss depended for their support. More than one-third of the people were engaged in manufacturing in- dustry; and, in Zurich, Bern and St. Gall, business everywhere made the traveller from America forget Swiss scenery and think of home. In St. Gall the cotton industry centers Cloths, manufactured here, are made of American cotton and are noted for their fineness of texture and excel lence of finish. Here, too, are made the well-known Swiss machine em- broideries and etched laces. Watch and clock making are carried on around Geneva and along the French border. This industry has suffered
 
 competition; for the American fac tories turn out watches every bit as good, and as reasonable in price. The silk industry of Switzerland is found in Zurich. Basel, upon the Rhine, is the first customs station.
 The advantages that have aided tho Swiss in their energetic strivings for material well-being are, for the most part, such advantages as can be of lit, tie use while their neighbors on every hand are at war. One of the great aids to Swiss industrial progress has been the superabundance of water power, the nearness of the French coal fields of St. Etienne, moderate wages paid for labor, nearby markets for the purchase of raw materials and for the sale of manufactured goods, and an excellent system of communities

DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND MUSIC COURSES DISCONTINUED FOR

NEW EQUIPMENT ORDERED
Coal in the Basement of Building Is Still Burning and Work of Clear ing Grounds Handicapped
 By This.


 At a meeting of the School Board plans were made for caring tor the pu- pills who were throwE cut of class rooms by fire. It is planned to care for them in the lecture rooms of the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Carpenters will begin work on extra class rooms to the high school building. The domestic science and music courses will be discon- tinued for a few days. The rooms will be used for the pupils. Plans will be drawn immediately for a new school building to replaced the burned one. Equipment has been ordered Coal in the basement of the building is still burning, and the work of clearing the grounds is handicapped by this John Bogle and Ollie Todd were painfully injured, when, in ex- amining concrete wall, the wall fell, throwing them into the basement. Todd received broken rl1 and internal 1n- juries, while Bogle, sustained severe bruises and cuts. It is the belief of part of the board that the fire was of incendiary origin, but others think it was due to a defective heating sys- tenn. A large quantity of decorations, plants and tables were destroyed by the fire.
