s1LAGE FOR COWS.

Silage is one OF the best focus for
the dairy cow, summer or winter. The
dairy COW must have some succulent
feed in order to maintain a large milk
flow. When the pasture becomes
short in late summer or fall silage
can be used to good advantage to keep
up the milk flow. It is cheaper than
soiling crops and more convenient.
Persistency of milk flow is impor-
tant and silage can be made big fac
tor in maintaining it.

WIND MILL AND GASO-
LINE ENGINE.

1t costs 1-2 times as much to pump
water by means of a gasoline engine
as it does by windmill power. These
results were secured in an investiga-
tion conducted at the Nebraska Ag-
ricultural college. According to the
data it costs Is cents to pump 100
barrels Of water by windmill and 6s
cents by gasoline when gasoline is 18
cents a gallon.-North Dakota Exper-
iment Station.

APPEAL LOST
!. BYCASH|N|EN|'
SIR ROGERS PLEA IS TURNED
! DOWN BY ENGLISH COURT.

London, July 18.-Without hearing
the attorneys for the crown the court
Of criminal appeal today dismissed Sir
Roger Easements appeal from the
verdict. of the lower court which found
him guilty of treason for which Wis
count Reading, the lord chief justice,
sentenced him to death.
For day and a half Alexander Sui
lvan, Sir Rogers counsel, argued be-
fore the court, quoting many author
tiles in favor of his contention that the
offense Of treason depended upon
whether the accused dwelt under the
protection of the king and that the
crime could not be committed without
the realm. He abandoned his other
points in regard to the lord chief JUS
tice's definition of the offense.
Against Sir Roger.
AS soon as Mr.. Sullivan had con-
cluded his argument the court retired
to consider whether the attorneys 70:
the crown would be called on to reply.
1t was soon decided, to the contrary,
which indicated that the appeal had
gone against Sir Roger, who was pres
ent during the argument and whe
judgment was given. sa~e-.'--.'+...-t
A further appeal to the house of
lords is possible only if the attorney
general gives certificate that the de.
cision of the court of criminal appeal
involves point of law so exceptional
,<ly important that it is desirable in
thepublic interest that a still higher
court should deal with it.This has been
done only twice since the court of
criminal appeal was established eight
years ago.
Praises Sullivan.
Justice Darling, in delivering the
judgment, expressed the Indebtedness
Of the court to Mr.. Sullivan for his
we'll considered and well delivered ar
guments, as the justice characterized
them, adding that they were worthy
Of the best traditions of the kings
courts, but he declared that they had
been answered by the attorneys of the
crown at the first trial.
Attorney Michael Francis Doyle 81
Philadelphia, of counsel for Sir Roger
declared today that it was improbable
the attorney general would certify The
ease for appeal to the house of To- Is
as the appeal court did not cons; 'cr i;
necessary to hear arguments for tho
government.
Powerful influences are working fo,
a reprieve, said the attorney, anG
there were strong hopes Of one being
granted.

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA.

Alfalfa plants are weakened VIXEN
cut too early. At the Kansas Epxeri-
ment Station two year trial brought
out the fact that alfalfa cut when 10
IN bloom and when in full bloom gave
the most hay. Less hay was secured
when the alfalfa was cut in the bud
stage and the alfalfa was weakened
so that weeds secured a foothold. A
few weeds appeared in the alfalfa cut
when Ito in bloom, but no weeds ap-
peared in the alfalfa cut in full bloom
and when ripe. From the standpoint
OF hay yield and the keeping up of
the alfalfa the time to cut alfalfa is
when between 1-10 in bloom and full
bloom.-N. D. Experiment Station.

WORK OF THE BEAVERS.
Wonderful Skill and Activity of These
Clever Dam Builders.

Viewer Lam
There are probably few examples of
animal industry and constructive abil-
ity more widely known than those of
the beaver-eyery one carries from his
school days general notion that bea-
vers build dams and other things-and,
though there may be considerable
margin between popular belief and the
limits of fact, enough remains to at
tach high degree of interest to the
beaver.
With their very powerful teeth they
can cut through branch three inches
thick in as many minutes. The pieces
cut off are held by the teeth and fore
paws and carried or dragged to the
spot where they are to be used and
fitted into place. The fitting is by no
means carelessly carried out, and the
beaver seems to have some fairly def
mite idea of the size and length of the
piece he needs.
The beaver makes his home prima-
rily by burrowing in the bank of a
stream, and the purpose of the dam is
to maintain the water at a fixed height,
so that the entrance to the burrow is
always covered as a protection from
enemies.
