Many farmers are coming to recog-
nize that wooden silos, the most COM
mon type of preservers of succulent
farm feeds, must themselves be pre-
served. Untreated wooden silos, even
when built of such durable material
as heart cypress or redwood, are SUBJ
ject to more or less rotting, especially
near the foundation where moist con-
ditions are favorable for the develop
ment of the fungus of decay.
That the wooden silo is popular is
shown by the fact that, in 1913 alone,
about 100,000,OO0 board feet of high
grade lumber was used in silo con-
struction, while later statistics indi-
cate that the consumption of lumber
for this purpose is steadily increasing.
The Importance of some kind of pre-
servative treatment to prevent decay
in wooden silos, therefore, has be-
come generally recognized. Several
manufacturers of wood-stave silos are
now making use of preservatives so
that it is possible to purchase the silo
material already treated.
OF the various preservatives in gen.
eral use, a good grade of coal-tar creo-
sote is very satisfactory for preserv-
ing timber. Almost any thorough
method of treatment with this preserv-
tive ought to add to the life of the
silo. Superficial methods, however,
such as applying with brush, dip
ping. in the preservative, or spraying
are not sufficient. By far the best
with the preservative in closed retort
under pressure, and when so treated
they should last indefinitely and
should be more satisfactory to the pur-
chaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase Of treated silos should investi-
gate carefully the methods used, and
If greatest permanence is desired
should choose only material that has
received a thorough-pressure treat
ment. Silos built of such material
have the additional advantage of re-
duction in the swelling and shrinking
OF the slaves, and, hence, they can be
kept tight more easily. Another ad-
vantage of silos built of well-treated
wood is that they need not be painted.
Effect of Preservative Treatment.

ative treatment upon the durability of
wood used in silos, and to obtain in

He endeavored to withdraw his arm,
an effort rendered futile by her cool

"Pleasew she said-not altogether

He eyed her askance. There was in
this incredible situation a certain pi-
quancy, definitely provocative, tran
scending the claims his injury made
upon his interest. Last night for the

and from a distance had thought her

he found himself with an arm round

And then suddenly she turned her
head and intercepted his whole-hearted

flashed disconcertingly; finally they
became utterly cole and disdainful.

voice.
He looked away in complete confu-

temples.

BEST PLAN TO KEEP
FALL PIGS GROWING
Large Hogs Should Be Marketed
Soon as in Fit Condition
for the Market.

1t is not good practice to leave small
pigs with the larger ones now. The
small ones will become stunted by be-
ing crowded away from feeding troughs
and much loss will be incurred. If the
larger hogs are fit for market it will
not pay to feed them longer. They
should be sold as soon as fit, but not a
day sooner. There is time when hogs
are at maximum of efficiency regard
ing profit. And it pays to keep the fall
pigs growing. The more growth before
hard winter weather the more profit
able will be the development.
Comfortable quarters will promote
the desired growth and also plenty of
exercise should be given. Charcoal
ashes, sulphur and salt should be kept
in every feeding yard.
The breeder of hogs should be wide
awake. There are many apparently
small items in the management that
are liable to be overlooked. See that
the animals are clean and free from
lice. A lousy hog is hard to fatten and
is never a money maker.

PRODUCTIVE PERIOD
OF THE DAIRY COWS
Most Useful Age Is Between
Third, Fourth, Fifth and 2
Possibly Sixth Calf.

Ry DIR. R. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Hus-
bandman, Arizona Experiment Station.)
Cows gradually increase in the
quantity of milk yielded with each lac
tation period until the third or fourth
calf is dropped. After this time about
two or three lactation periods remain
about the same and then they begin to
fall appreciably in the amount of milk.
Thus it is seen that the most useful
period of a COW is between the third,

consciously he knew that his temper

1t being indisputably none Of his
concern, the unfairness Of the question
only lent it offensive force. The man
made this painfully clear through the
medium of an intolerable epithet and
an attempt to land his right fist on
Whitaker's face.
The face, however, was elsewhere
when the fist reached the point for
which 1t had been aimed; and Whit
aker closed in promptly as the fellows
body followed his arm, thrown off bal
ance by the momentum of the unob-
structed blow.
What followed had entered into the
calculations of neither. Whitaker felt
himself suddenly falling through air
thick with binding, choking cloud of
dust and sand. The body of the other
was simultaneously wrenched violently
from his grasp. Then he brought up
against solidity with a bump that
seemed to expel every cubic inch Of
air from his lungs. And he heard him
self cry out sharply with the pain Of
his weak ankle newly twisted. .
He sat up, gasping for breath,
brushed the sand from his face and
eyes, and as soon as his whlrling wits
settled a little, comprehended what
had happened.
Half buried in the debris of a mini
ature landslide, he sat at the foot of
the bluff. Immediately above his head
ragged break showed where the sand,
held together solely by beach grass,
had given way beneath the weight of
the antagonists.
A little distance from him the other
man was picking himself up, apparent

Without delay, with not even so much
as q glance at Whitaker, he staggered
on for few PAGES, then settled into
heavy, numbering trot westward
along the beach. He did not wish the
woman to recognize him; therefore he
was putting himself out of her way.
For she was approaching.
When Whitaker caught sight of her,
she was already close at hand. She
had been running. Now as their
glances met, hers keenly inquiring of
Whitaker's still bewildered eyes, she
pulled up abruptly and stood astare.
He saw, or fancied, something closely
akin to fright and CONSERVATION in her
look. The flush in her cheeks gave
way to a swift pallor. The hands
trembled that drew her beach cloak
close about her. She seemed to make
an Intellectual effort to speak.
On his part, Whitaker tried to get
up. A keen twinge in his ankle, how
ever, wrung an involuntary grunt from
him, and with a wry grimace he sank
back.
"Ohl" cried the woman, impulsively.

of creosote in the feed could not be
determined by analysis. This silage
when fed to cows was not relished and

heavier treatment than is now con-
sidered necessary. Moreover, had the

is considered doubtful whether the ef-
feet would have been noticeable. This

Unfortunately, the other fellow has the
advantage of milking the cows first,
and if he is an intelligent person, he
will not sell anything but the inferior
mixers. On this account it is often
necessary to raise ones heifers and
test them out for ones self.
Good purebred cows are always re-
tained in the herd as long as they
prove satisfactory breeders. On the
other hand ordinary or inferior pure
bred cows should be disposed of when
they are about eleven or twelve years
old, for after this time they are not
as regular breeders and it is just pos.
sible that calves from old cows are not
as good as those from COWS in their
prime of life. In a well-managed herd
one can have the cows to average g
calf at twelve or thirteen months, II
only good vigorous animals are re

herds dairy cows do not average q cali

WILSON'S SPEECH

Petrograd, May 4. Via London.-The
Novoe Nremya concludes its comment
on President Wilson's speech Of May
1, before the National Service School
military encampment for young women
as follows:
THE most peaceful lover Of peace
has finally convinced himself that his
love Of peace has only encouraged the
German government in trampling upon
all the laws Of God and man. Even his
faith in peace has been shaken, but
even at this last moment he has given
Germany way out.
He threatens Germany not only
with the breaking Of diplomatic re-
lations. The speech. however, shows
that he realizes the act would not stop
with the breaking OF relations, but
would lead to war. He would not be a
statesman otherwise.

that Germany has 40 new submarines
