Ferdinand Farmer Says
Silage is the Ideal Ration

A short time since the editor
wrote to Mr.. Herman Hanson, oi
Ferdinand, asking for informa.
tion regarding the latter's expert
ence with the silo which he erect
ed last summer and what results
he had obtained from feeding
ensilage to his farm stock during
the winter season. Mr.. Hanson's s
reply. under date of Feb. IL, fol-
lows:
"Your letter of Jan. oath at
hand and in reply will say that
have had so much to do that
have not been able to get at your
request sooner, however, it cef-
tainly was a pleasure to me to
have some one ask for such a re-
port, as it makes me feel that
there are others who are inter
ested in the silo.
MY silo was filled with a COM
bination of peas and oats, which
certainly makes some feed, how
ever, had some oats alone for a
test and the stock did not like it
as well as the peas and oats. l
seeded the peas and oats with ar
ordinary grain drill, sowing 65
pounds of peas and 35 pounds of
oats to the acre, which made a
very nice proportion as there was
just enough oats to make some
thing for the peas to climb on, SO
it was no trouble to cut the crop
with an ordinary binder and made
the harvesting very easy. seed
ed ST acres, measured ground,
and, as my silo is a 10x24 foot
structure with a 34-ton corn silage
/ have placed the ton
mage of peas and oats at 80 tons,
this ensilage being lighter than
corn, which would make the yield
a 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 silo
method, to say nothing of the
quality of the feed as compared
with dry hay. The cost of cut
ting my crop with the binder and
putting it into the siIo did not

Another Business Change

1t is with pleasure that we are
able to announce this week an
other slight business change in
our city whereby Mr.. Thos. J..
Parker becomes affiliated with his
brother, E. L. Parker, in the
mercantile life of Cottonwood.
Mr.. Parker came here last fall
from Nebraska with a view of
locating somewhere in this part
of the westssand, after spending
the winter here and acquainting
himself..with@local conditions, de-
cided. .he-could. do as.well in Cot

a number of years as a boy and
young man and later spending

exceed 80 cents per ton.
When | was ready to start
feeding the ensilage l had to re.
move about II inches of the sur.
face which had spoiled, but have
found nothing more that | have
had to throw away, so the loss
from molding or other causes
was practically nothing. In fact,
the top layer which did throw
away was almost entirely cleaned
up by the hogs so that | can
figure not to exceed 500 pounds
Of loss all told. We have been
feeding stock cattle, milk cows,
stock hogs and fattening hogs on
the ensilage and it has proven
very good in every instance.
The stock cattle were fed about
10 pounds per head twice a day
for grown stock, younger stock
in proportion, and the milk cows
about 30 pounds per day. and l
want to say that my stock cattle
have come along far better this
winter than ever before, and /
always fed good hay, too. My
milk cows have given about one
third to one-half better quality
of milk and 25 to 80 per cent
more in quantity, so you can plain
ly see there is nothing against
the silo but everything is in its
favor. l feel that as soon as the
farmers on the prairie see what
the silo means they will no more
try to get along without one than
they would without a plow.
There is no doubt in my mind
but that the silo business in this
win be very good the
coming summer and l feel that
this is one thing the farmer can
buy without going wrong, as
they can put any kind of feed in
one and have from 40 to so per
cent better and more feed per
acre than they can the old way.
Trusting have given you a
little of the information desired,
[ remain,
Yours very truly,
HERMAN l. HANSON"

Drowned Cattle Go
Down Stream

Citizens residing along Snake
river report that for day or two
the fore part of the week many
head of drowned cattle went
down stream, and that as many
as nearly a hundred head were
counted from time to time, to
say nothing of the number that
may have gone down during the
night time. The presumption is
that some Of these cattle! from
the upper Snake river, Grande
Ronde and Salmon river sections,
have gone to the streams Ito get
water, going out on the ice and
either slipped in or the ice gave
way; while others would be killed
by sliding down the mountain
sides leading to the rivers. The
loss of live stock as a result Of
the severity of the present winter
all over the west is bound to be
enormous. -Asotin Sentinel.

Ice Gorges

All of the smaller streams thai
enter in the South Fork from the
west are at a high water mark
and for the past two days have
been disgorging large quantities
of ice. Yesterday morning 9
larger gorge than usual broke
loose from Cottonwood creek
came into the Clearwater, bring
ing down what ice had formed in
that stream as far as the bridge
where it gorged for a short time,
raising the water to some extent
but doing no damage. This gorge
broke early in the morning and
went down below the slaughter
folse where it again gorged.
This time it raised the water on
the west side Of the river until
Laurance Howard's house had
three feel of water on the floors
and Mrs. Earl Stems, two feet.
Both families had left before the
water reached them. In the aft
ernoon the gorge broke, moving
down to about the Brown place
where it is still gorged. Railroad
officials say this gorge is about IL
feet deep, 200 feet wide and a
quarter of mile long. 1t is
feared that much damage will be
done when it breaks as the ice is
solid in the Middle Fork and seri-
GUS gorges may occur there. -.
Sites Enterprise.
Speaking of the breakup on
the lower river, Saturdays Lew
iston Tribune says: Ice jams be-
tween Kooskia and Agatha held
the flood waters in check for
hours and at some points the rail-
road track was threatened but
the reports last night indicated
all of the jams have broken and
the water is running freely and
receding at all points. The ferry.
between Kooskia and Kamiah
was carried out, the ferry at
Myrtle was crushed by ice and
the ferry at Fir Bluff is reported
The passing of the ice yester-
day presented a wonderful spec
tacle for the Lewiston citizens
and large numbers gathered along
the railroad dyke and at the
Clearwater bridge. At one time
the entire channel was mass of
ice for as far as the eye
could see. The ice was forced
for about four feet above
the natural level of the water
and was jammed so closely to-
gether that no water, was to be
seen.

fifteen years on the road as a dry
goods salesman, and this know
ledge will stand him in good
stead.
The change in the firm name
will be practically the only change
noticeable in the Parker store
and people of this locality will
receive the same courteous treat

as they have in the past.

prove a man of real worth to this

The village board met in ad-
journed session last Thursday
evening and, among other mat
ters, decided to dispense with
the regular marshal after the 18th
and employed Albert Rogers at a
salary of $25 per month to look
after the duties of that Office in
future. An effort at retrench-
ment since the state went dry is
responsible for the action taken
and it is said the board will try
to reduce expenses in other ways
as rapidly as possible so as to
make the tax burden as light as
possible.

Parents Teachers ASso-
citation Formed

The second meeting of the par
ents-teachers association was
held last Friday afternoon at the
high school and was quite we'll
attended, resulting in the organi-
zation of the association and the
election of the following officers:
Mrs. R. A. Minis, president; Mrs.
A. MacMaster, vice president;
Mrs. E. M. Parker, secretary
treasurer; Mrs. Minis, Miss Elva
Gray and Mrs. Fred Simon, pro-
gram committee. The regular
meetings of the association will
be held on the first and third Fri
days of each month at the school
house at 3 o'clock p. m., the first
meeting to be a business session
and the last a literary or educa-
tional meeting. At the latter a
program will be rendered, con-
sisting of readings, papers, round
table talks, etc. Quite a bit of
interest is being shown in the as
sociation and it is probable that
an affiliation will later be made
with the national association.
Anyone interested in the welfare
of the school is eligible to MEM

TO CANALIzE
The RIVERS
Congressman McCracken In
PRODUCES Bill to Engineer
Snake and Clearwater Riv-
ers for Later Development.

The Commercial club.is in re
ceipt of a copy of a bill introduc.
ed by Congressman McCracken,
of Idaho, dealing with the i'm.
provement of the Snake and Co.
lumbia rivers for navigation as
well as power purposes. The bill
is the one approved by watel ways
adv cltes of the northwest as af-
fordlng the next logical step in
the improvement of the rivers
following the completion of The
Dalles-Celilo canal. By its terms
commission of five engineers
will be appointed to make thor
ough examination Of the Colum-
bia and Snake rivers from Cello
to Pittsburg Landing, 70 miles
above Lewiston, and of the Clear
water from Lewiston to Orofino.
These engineers will gather ex-
tensive data in connection with
the proposed canalization of the
Snake and Columbia river s
through the construction of a
system of dams which will flood
out the rapids and as we'll develop
a large water power which can
be used for miscellaneous pur-
poses. This was the plan advo-
Gated by Joseph N. Teal, of Port
land, who is so we'll known in
connection with his long and ef-
fective work in behalf of an open
river to the sea. The govern
ment now has extensive prelimi-
nary data on the subject and the.
commission authorizedsby the bill
will be able to complete their
work in order to make report
by the time of the next session.
The preliminary investigation has
indicated that there will be ten
dams installed between Lewiston
and Cello and that one of these
will be located at Dry Gulch a.
bout four miles below Lewiston
where dam would develop 5O,-
0 o horsepower and as we'll flood
o 1T several rapids between the
city and that point.
ngressman McCracken writes
that he has included the Clear
wa.er river in the bill so that full
data might be secured as to that
stream, leaving no doubt as toits
advailability or non-availibility
after the engineers have made
the thorough investigation that
Il e bill contemplates.
Congressman McCracken also
advises that he has received let
ters from all the members of the
Washington and Oregon delega-
tons assuring their support for
the measure with expressions of
their confidence that the bill will
pass. The bill on February 8 was
referred to the committee on
rivers and harbors.
The introduction of this meas
ure can be received with rejoic-
ing by the friends of the open
river movement because it initi-
ates a work more extensive in its
character than The Dalles- Cello
canal which was completed last
