Dry Years Bring Special Prob

cles More Necessary.

No rule can be laid down for filling
the silo during year Of short rain
fall, says G. H. Eckles of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture. When the corn
natures normally the time to put 1t In
the silo Is when the kernels are dented
and glazed, but the kernel still soft
enough so 1t may be broken with the
thnmbnail. At this time the husks
will generally be turning yellow at the
end Of the ear. Corn may be put In
after 1t is almost dry If enough water
Is added.
When corn is injured by the drought
1t should be allowed to stand as long
as there Is any hope at all of its get.
ting rain to complete its growth. II
1t begins to die 1t should be put in the
silo, as by this means what feed
value 1t contains will be saved. II II
cannot be put into the silo just then II
may be shocked and put In later, as
tests at the Missouri agricultural ex.
pertinent station have shown that
shock corn makes good silage. OF
course, 1t is not as good as that made
at the usual time.
When filling the silo, remember that
silage spolls II too dry or the air IL
not expelled by thorough tramping.
The tendency of late years has been
to put corn In the silo too dry. II
should be moist enough to wet the feet
OF the men who tramp 1t. If too dry,
add water by running 1t into the
blower. At least two men are needed
to tramp the silage at filling.
Special attention should be given
to pacing well around the edges. If the
walls Of the silo are not in good con-

tarred paper over the door on the
inside, allowing 1t to extend about two

Straw from early-cut grain, har-
vested without being damaged by rain,
makes an excellent rough winters feed
for horses. mules and cattle. Last
winter, owing to the scarcity and high
price Of hay. large quantities Of wheat
and oat straw were fed to cows and
sheep. Wheat straw is fed to horses,
COWS and sheep; do not be sparing Of
it Put enough into the racks for them
TO pick out the best and use what they
leave each day for litter. 1t is some
times q great convenience and we
think economical, to cut the straw into
chaf, not only to feed, but for bed
ding. says writer in Baltimore Ameri-
can. The straw absorbs more liquid
and the s0iled portions can be re-
moved more readily from the rest Of
the bedding-and there Is less waste
OF straw. When cut straw and chaff
are used for bedding. the manure can

DEVISE MACHINE TO TEST
THE STRENGTH OF BOXES
Uncle Sans Forestry Engineers Seek
Means Of Decreasing Damage to
Shipments in Transit.

Uncle Sam is endeavoring to estab-
lish standard Of strength for boxes
In order to reduce the damage caused
by these wood containers breaking to
pieces and scattering their contents as
a result of rough handling In transit.
A machine for testing the strength
of boxes has been devised by engl-
neers of the forest service and is In
use at the forest products laboratory
at Madison. Wis. The machine is the
result Of experiments made to deter
mine fair test for all types Of boxes.
Big losses are caused by the breakage
of boxes In transit, and all parties con-
cerned are said to be anxious to de-
termine the best kind Of box.
The machine consists of a hexagonal
drum with 3h foot sides, which Is
lined with thin steel sheets. Pieces
Of scantling bolted to the bottom form
what are known as Hazards"
In making the tests boxes filled with
cans containing water are placed In
the drum, which is then rotated. The
hazards" cause the boxes to he car

the drum. Each fall Of this sort is
pretty fair imitation of the probable
treatment 1t would receive in ship

fully, and notes are taken on the man.
ner In which they give way and the
number Of falls required to break them
In pieces.
The tests also show the best meth
DDS of box construction. The experts
say that one of the most striking
things brought out was the made
quacy Of the ordinary methods OF nall
Ing up boxes. The number Of nails
used and the way they are put In are
important. One nall more to the side
Of box will give 1t great deal more
strength than might be thought. The
nails should not be driven too deep
into the wood. In many cases, 1t Is
said, proper mailing will allow reduc-
tion Of the amount Of lumber used
without any decrease N the value Of
the boz. Boxes with cleated ends were
found to be much stronger than those
without cleats.

INDIAN IS BIG CARE
Uncle Sam Spends Much Time
and Money on Wards.
Work Of Handling 100000 Red Men
Owning Property Worth Hundreds
Of Millions, Is No child's Play.

A tremendous amount of time,
money and attention is spent by Uncle
Sam upon his Indians. The official
care of more than 100000 Indians is
something more than mere childs
play, especially when 1t is remembered
that hundreds Of millions of dollars
worth Of property are owned by the
red men.
During the past three years under
the administration of Secretary Lane
more than $8S7,000 has been collected
as tribal royalties on coal and as
phalt lands belonging to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw tribe; for the years
1913, 1914 and 1915, restrictions on
alienation of 1854 acres of land
were removed, of which $4,000 acres
were sold for. the benefit Of allottees,
the amount derived from the sale be-
ing S1,56S,0OO.
For the past three years there was
collected, as royalties of individual
Indians from oil produced on restrict
ed allotted lands, the total sum of S.
$4,000, the highest returns being for
the year 1914, which was S2,113,000.
OF the original area allotted to men,
bers of the Five Civilized Tribes.
amounting to over 15.O00,000 acres, re-
strictions on alienation have been re-
moved by operation of law, by the
secretary Of the interior, on over H.
000,000 acres, leaving 3,31S,000 acres
retained by only $3.50 restricted In
dians of total number of 101, ,521 en-
rolled members of the Five Civilized
Tribes.
Aggressive work has been carried
on during the same three years in all
other departments of the Indian of
fee. In that time $4,000 allotments
Of land have been made. embracing
more than 2,2S4,000 acres; the Fort
Peck reservation in Montana has been
opened to settlement and the Colville
reservation In the state of Wash
ington has been opened, making avail
able for homestead entry 350000
acres.
There has also been the withdrawal
Of lands in Arizona for the Papago
Indians; the granting Of new oil and
gas leases In the Usage reservation,
Oklahoma, on the expiration of the
Foster lease, procuring as bonus
value for the tribe $3,232, 600. an in
crease in royalty from 12h per

700 per cent over the amount paid
on the old form Of lease, which ex-
pired March 16. 1915.
Competency commissions have been
appointed to pass on qualifications
OF Indians to individually handle
their affairs and these commissions
are at work In the Southwest, their

GOOD PROTEIN FEED
FURNISHED BY RAPE
Crop Can Be Sown Any Time
During Summer-Not as Good
as Alfalfa or Clover.

As an annual forage for hogs have
found that rape sown most any time
during the summer will furnish an
excellent quality Of summer pasture.
says q writer in an exchange. OF
courHe alfalfa and red clover make a
better forage and furnish a higher
grade Of feed as well as hay If not pas
1ured too closely. but these crops are
not always available and cannot be
crown on short notice. Rape furnishes
a good protein feed at small expense
and that Is what growing shoats re-
auire during the summer months, but
it is sometimes a little difficult to get
them started to eating rape.
have found several ways by which
to overcome this difficulty. In the
first place, l prefer to sow oats with
the rape. I broadcast about four
pounds of rape seed to the acre, then
drin in about a bushel of oats to the
acre. The shoats will readily eat the
green oats and In doing so are bound
to get taste of the rape. and when
the taste Is once acquired they will
eat 1t readily. Another method is by
feeding them a little corn In the
rape patch SO that In eating that they
win eat some Of the leaves.
have had excellent results with
successive paintings of rape in small
patches fenced off with permanent
fences This makes 1t possible to
turn the shoats on one patch a while,
then when that is fed down fairly
close turn them on another; this pro-
vides patch Of good tender rape
for them during the entire summer.
A neighbor has had good results by
using a movable fence, by means Of
which he turns his shoats on differ
ent portions of the patch so that
each portion has chance to recover
from feeding.
II It is intended to hog down a
patch Of corn In the full, 1t will add
considerable to the feeding value to
SOW some rape seed In the field be-
tween the rows at the time Of the
last cultivation Of the corn. Grow
ing shoats require muscle-buildlng
protein feeds rather than fat-pro-
dudng carbohydrates. / have found
corn, wheat middlings and tankage
fed IN self-feeders good supplement
for summer pasture.

GOVERNMENT TO SPEND $4,000, 900
On Good Roads and Trail Building in
the National Forests.

Washington, D. Cone of the pro
visions of the Federal aid road bill,
which was signed by the president
on July II, appropriates $1,000,000 a
year for ten years to be spent by the
secretary of agriculture for the con-
5truction and maintenance of roads
and trials within or partly within the
national forests.
The bill provides that, upon request
If the proper officers of the states or
counties, the money shall be used for
building roads and trials which are
necessary for the use and develop
nent of resources upon which COM
munities within or near the national
sorests are dependent. The work is
10 be done in cooperation with the
various states and counties. Not more
than 10 per cent. of the value of the
timber and forage resources of the
national forests within the respective
county or counties in which the roads
or trails will be constructed may be
spent. Provision is made for the re-
turn of the money to the treasury by
applying 10 per cent of the annual re-
ceipts of the national forests in the
state or county until the amount ad-
vanced is covered.
Officers in charge say that the bill
will make possible the construction of
many roads which are greatly needed.
Since 1913 ten per cent of the receipts
of the national forests have been used
in road and trail building, but the
funds have been inadequate to meet
the needs. Many isolated communi-
ties within the national forests are
entirely dependent on the government
roads and trails. In some instances
these settlements are said to be al
most entirely without means OF COM
munication. According to forest SER
vice officials the money now made
available will permit the construction
of many roads necessary to open up
inaccessible territory, and will greatly
facilitate the development OF large
areas.
1t is said that detailed plans cover
ing the policy to be followed in build
ing roads are now being made

NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS
EXCEED ALL PREVIOUS YEARS.

Washington, d. C-Receipts from
national forests for the fiscal year
1916 reached the high-water mark of
approximately $2,82O,OOO, according
to figures just compiled This is $341,-
900 above the 1915 total, which in
turn exceeded any previous year.
Officials say that the gain was due
to increased demand for all classes
of forest products.
There was a decided growth in the
revenue from all sources, the largest
being that of S2O3 900 in timber sales.
Grazing fees showed gain of SIT 900
Receipts for water power develop
ment were over $4,000 more than for
1915. Sales of turpentine privileges
and charges for special uses were
both considerably in excess of the pre-
vious year.
Officials say that the national for
ests are important factors in the pros
perity of the regions in which they
are located, on account of the large
amounts of timber, range and other
resources which they hold available
for use as needed Business condi-
tionG are reflected in the receipts of
the forests Consequently the showing
for the past year is regarded as an
index Of increased business activity
throughout the sections where the
national forests are found.
