TURNING SILAGE INTO. BEEF
II Cannot Be Considered as Substl-
tute for other Necessary Materi-
ais In Animals Ration.

The word "silage" at one time sug-
gested only trimming milk pals and
big milk checks. Nowadays it is as
well big factor in putting the fn-
ishing touches on choice sirloin beef.
Silos are common in the beef feed.
ing sections of Wisconsin. The main
reason for feeding silage to beef cat
tie is economy of production. 1t can
not be considered as a substitute for
other necessary materials in the ra-
ton, according to j. l.. Tormey, Col
lege of Agriculture, University of Wis
consin, who gives a few suggestions
as to the feeding of silage for beef
production under local conditions.
Glover or alfalfa hay should be
fed along with the silage in the win
ter. If clover or alfalfa hay is not
obtainable, use timothy or mixed hay.
In addition to the corn silage and hay
allowance, about three or four pounds
of cottonseed meal for each 1000
pounds of live weight of the animal
should be fed daily.
"Two-year-old steers weighing about
1000 pounds may be started on about
20 to rs pounds of silage,. 6 to pounds
Of clover or alfalfa hay, and to 6
pounds of mixture consisting Of six
parts of corn to one part cottonseed
meal by weight daily. In a period
of two weeks the cattle may be
brought up to full rations, If care
fully watched. At this time they will
eat about Is to 20 pounds of silage,
t. pounds of hay and IL to IA
pounds Of grain mixture daily.
AS cottonseed meal is rather high
priced this year, wheat bran or glu-
ten feed may be used instead with al
most as good results and at a saving
in cost of production"

seriously of resigning his office. The
report was denied strenuously by the
White House, but it is well known
fact that the President is getting
sick and tired of the efforts of con-

Electric Restaurants.

A large mining company has in
stalled an electric restaurant $50
yards in from the foot Of the shaft
in one Of its mines. Here food is
cooked or heated electrically, and hot
coffee is prepared by the same means.
Since most of the important coal
mines already use electric power I'M
derground for power purposes, there
should be little difficulty in establish
ing subterranean electric restaurants
in any OF them.

Back ache is accounted for by other means

he can demonstrate it to the one who brings

Man Has Need for Birds.

John Davey. in New York Sun:
Human life depends upon vegetation
We would all starve il vegetation
ceased for a year. But vegetation
depends upon the BIRDS. who protect
| it from destruction by insects.
Leading entomologists estimate that
insects cause an annual loss OF at
least $2,0O0,OO0 to the agricultural in.
terests Of the United States. The
statement seems incredible. but Is
based upon reliable statistics. This
of course. does not include the damage
done to ornamental shrubbery, shade
and forest trees. But, il insects are
the natural enemies OF vegetation
birds are the natural enemies of in
sects Consider for moment what
the birds are doing for us. any summer
day, when insects are so abundant
that the hum of their united voices
becomes an almost inherent part OF
the atmosphere.
In the air swallows and swifts are
coursing rapidly to and fro, ever in
pursuit of the insects, which consti
tute their sole food. When they re.
tire, the night hawks and whippoor-
wills will take up the chase, catch.
| ing moths and other nocturnal insects
which would escape day flying birds.
The flycatchers lie in wait, darting
from ambush at passing prey, and
with suggestive click of the bill re-
turning to their post.
Human life. therefore, depends
upon the birds All insectivorous
birds in this country are decreasing
10 per cent each year Unless we
start at once to increase their num-
bers. to protect them and kill their
enemies, within a decade will occur
the disaster to humanity which
have spoken of a-catastrophic horror

KEEP WELL, YOU WON'T NEED EN-.

Drug prices keep going up, but people keep
buying just the same, say those who have the
medications for SALE The spectacular advance
in the prices of drugs during the past year has,
las everybody knows, been due to the war and
unsettling factors caused by the war, the most
important of which is the cutting off OF Ger
man and Austrian markets and the serious
hampering of carriers from other foreign
sources. And the American public pays. So
far as known, no one has called a halt In the
application of drugs or the taking OF medicine
because the prices of the required articles have
advanced
Some of the more costly drugs obtained IN
normal times from European markets can be
got now only after the most exhaustlng
methods are resorted to and some drugs and
chemicals cannot be obtained in spite of the ef-
forts of the trade in this country. In regard
