that is not sufficiently matured to contain enough dry
matter is put into the silo and sour feed results
One of the greatest troubles with sage, rather
with the men who feed the sage is that they have
false idea of its feeding value and do not feed intel
ligenty One should remember that the putting of the
corn kafr into the so does not change in any
way the protein contents of the feed and it
the bulk, the young stock eating sage the sole
ration without any protein supplement- cannot and do
not, make satisfactory growth, and this is usually
blamed the silage. The same is true of breeding
cattle that carrying their calves. Don't get the
idea, that many people have, that slage is ideal
feed and balanced ration for all classes of live stock
for it is not Silage is roughage and lacking in
protein that element of animal food that is absolutely
necessary for growing animals The satisfactory
protein supplements for siage alfalfa hay, cotton
seed meal eottonseed cake oil cake, oil meal which
should be fed in connection with sagc all classes
of stock to get good results.
The principal value of sage that when feed is put
into the so at the proper stage of its development
and in the proper way it is much more paatabe than
the dry feed from the crop and the stock will
sumo the entire plant instead of just the leaves, is
usually the case with fodder Thus you can see at a
glance that the chief advantage of the silo would be
to the maximum Of roughage. OF where
rough feed is not problem and where roughage
being produced than be used there necessity
for silo to feed but farms where the problem

shape had it been properly stored in slo. In the win
ter OF the year, cattle starved to death by the
hundreds that could have been wintered in good shape
if the feed had been put into silo
By the use of silo, is able carry the maxi
mum OF stock each year without having to reduce his
herd ever so often account of short crops
One of the biggest problems that the farmers of
Kansas have to solve at the present time is build up
the soil 1t is fact that the farms of Kansas are not
producing as much grain to the they did forty
years ago, with better cultivation and the only
way to check this depletion of soils build them
up to their highest producing capacity to feed
of the feed that is produced the farms live stock
and return the to the soil before the most of
the plant food has been leachcd out by rains Here
again, the so comes to the rescue. More live stock
kept, more manure to enrich the soil with resulting
larger crops to feed to more live stock.
1t is certain that the silo does not solve all the feed
ing problems any than a full corn crib solves the
whole feeding problem. Siage is only one sde~-but
the most mportant-of the ration 1t is the succu-
lent, palatable, condensed roughage need and re-
duces to minimum the time and labor required for
feeding. 1t practically the entire feeding value
OF the corn cane kafir, other crop adapted silo
ing 1t all the tons and all the constituents of
food possessed by the plant 1t increases the ability of
the farmer to keep stock in greater numbers and at
greater profit.

With proper care, limited amount of
good quality slage can be fed to horses
to advantage. If in doubt as to the
condition of silage for horse feed, it had
better be left alone.
Remember how, in Bible times, people
were advised to store up feed during the
Seven Good Years so that they would
have feed for both man and beast dur
ing the "Seven Lean Years" that were
to follow? That advice is still good and
the best way to store up feed that would
otherwise go to waste in years of album
dance is by using the silo. People do
not have to look back very far to see
the time when cattle were being shipped
off of pasture in midsummer and sacri-
feed ON a glutted market, simply be-
cause the grass was burnt up by the
dry, hot winds and there was no feed to
carry the stock over until the fall rains
came to revive the grass, when enough
feed had been wasted the year before to
have carried the stock through in good

more sllos are bullt, more people are
equipping themselves with machinery
for filling them. Men who have large
engines for threshing are glad to fur
nish power to run the ensilage cutter.
In many places, the farmers are CO.
operating in buying machinery for fill
ing their silos, and in filling them, and
thus the problem is solved for them
Then there are other faults found with
the silage that are usually the fault of
the man who fills the slo rather than
with the silo. Sometimes the feed that
is put into the silo is too dry and not
enough moisture is added and as re-
suit the silage molds. Then again some
times the men in the silo who are sup
posed to do the tramping, find that the
less they tramp, the sooner the silo is
filled and the sooner their job is over
and as a result of the silage not being
packed to exclude the air, the silage
sours or molds and does not give good
results Then again, sometimes feed

compare fayorably with other Sena-

state wide reputation as a State High

NEGRO CONFESSES
TO TWO BURGLARIES
LLOYD MOMAN ACKNOWLEDGES
ENTERING DEPOTS AT DAW-
SON AND SASSER.

Friday night the Seaboard Air Line
depot at Sasser was entered by a bur-
glar and robbed of bicycle that had
been shipped to that point by express,
and On the following Tuesday night
the Seaboard depot at Dawson was
broken into. The cash drawer was
rifled of $1.50 and there were six
bottles of ginger ale and several box
es of matches missing. In the cash
drawer of the Dawson depot was a
torn dollar bill, and the torn bill,
which was passed to negro mer-
chant. and the possession of some of
the matches stolen from the depot,
which were peculiarly colored, led to
the arrest of Lloyd Norman, negro
we'll known about town. Later his
brother, Robert Norman, was seen by
the police riding the bicycle stolen
from the Sasser depot and he was
arrested and jailed. Robert said that
he had secured the bicycle from his
brother Lloyd When confronted
with the torn dollar bill, the peculiar
" colored matches and the stolen BIZ
cycle Lloyd Moman confessed to rob
bing both depots, and his brother was
released.
Norman is held in the county Jail
with two burglary charges confront
ing him, which he will have to answer
at the November term of superior
court
