will save about 40 per cent Of the
corn crop. That is to say that the
stalks and blades Of the crop COM
prise about 40 per cent Of the crop.
When the grain only is saved this
valuable part of the crop is lost.
Every farmer and dairyman with a
few cows will need silo for eco
nomical feeding. The cost of the silo
will be an Investment. The silage
cutter is sometimes owned by several
farmers in order to reduce the indi-
vidual investment. But the cutter
does not require heavy investment
and most farmers prefer to own their
silage machinery. The tractor or
gas engine may be used for power.
Those who are to put up silos this
year should make their arrange
ments to plant crop to fill the silo.
Usually the silage crop is planted a
little later than the regular corn or
sorghum crop. The important matter
is to plant so it will yield well and
require cutting at time when this
can be done without interfering with
the other work.-Farm and Ranch.

Government Whitewash.

We give below the formula for
government whitewash. We be-
lieve this should be published at
least once each year to encourage its
use on the farm. This is the season
when stables, cellars, fences and
other structures should be white
washed. Paint is unusually eXpen-
sive, hence the demand for a service
able whitewash that can be used as
a substitute. Coloring matter may
be added If the user so desires.
Take a half a bushel of unslacked
lime, slack in warm water, cover 1t
during the process to keep in the
steam; strain the liquid through a
fine sieve or strainer; add peck of
salt previously well dissolved in
warm water; three pounds of ground
rice boiled to thin paste and stirred
in boiling hot; half a pound of glue
which has been previously dissolved
over slow fire.
Add five gallons of hot water to
the mixture, stir well and let it
stand for few days, covered to keep
out the dirt, strain carefully and ap-
ply hot.

Silape for Cows

The development of the dairy in
dustry in this country means greater
use of the silo. Higher priced land
means that dairymen and farmers
feeding cows must get more grazing
and more feed per acre than when
land was cheaper.
The silo makes 1t economical to
use expensive land in feeding cows.
Corn, sorghum and other crops used
for the silo yield well as rule. Land
planted to corn or other silage crops
will yield a great deal more feed than
if used for grazing.
Silage is almost indispensable in
the dairy cows ration. In winter
when grazing is impractical the silo
furnishes succulent food. Cows on
high concentrated dry feeds are apt
to "get off" their feed without silage.
Cows require certain amount Of
bulky feed. Their stomachs are
adapted to consume bulk such as hay
grass, silage, etc. With silage 1t is
not a difficult matter to balance the
ration.
Summer drouth is often disastrous
to corn. II one has silo the crop
may be cut and saved. when without
il the crop might be almost fuined.
II has been estimated that the silo

Rotation In The Garden.

The wise, resourceful farm mana
ger recognizes the Importance OF a
safe, dependable rotation of crops.
Likewise should the pratical gardner
recognize the Importance of a rota-
ton of garden plants.
Very early vegetables may be fol-
lowed by later vegetables planted for
fall. In this way, we are able to sup
ply our tables with fresh canned or
dried products during the entire
year.
Following lettuce, radish and spin
ach one may plant tomatoes, beans,
cucumbers, okra, etc. When the Eng
lish or garden peas are removed late
beans, limas, cowpeas, cantaloupes,
ETC., may be planted. Many other
plants are adapted to lead or follow
in the garden rotation.
The object of the gardner is to
produce vegetables in season and to
maintain the fertility of the soil as
far as is consistent with system. A
rotation helps him to do this.
The seasons are always to be reck-
oned with, but the progressive, ener-
getic gardner will not wait on the
seasons. He will plant, cultivate,
gather and SOW and take his chances
with the seasons.
The garden can be made a very i'm
portant part of the farm. 1t should
be a greater factor for economical
living than it is on most farms. One
way to make it produce more is to
rotate the plants and use intensive
methods of cultivation.-Farm and
Ranch.

WILLARD WANTS To
QUIT fight GAME
Is NOW RICH MAN AND MAY An
NOUNCE RETIREMENT WITH
IN SHORT TIME.

New York, April s. David Levin
sohn of Chicago, stakeholder for the
willard-M Moran fight, is of the opinion
that when Willard has fulfilled his
circus contract he will announce that
he is through with the prize ring
forever. Lewinsohn said before leav-
ing here for Chicago that Willard
told him when he signed the contract
for the fight with Moran that he
would not enter into any more bouts.
"Willard is a home man." said
Lewinsohn, and when l went to him
some weeks ago, representing Tex
Richard, he was not anxious to fight
Moran. He was finally persuaded to
do so, because of his manager and
myself, but he was not very enthusia-
site about il. Willard is a rich man.
He has 100000 right now in Chic
ago banks and has invested $4,000
more in fine home in Chicago.
"The champion is very fond of his
family and his children are growing
up, and he wants to be with them as
much as possible. The contract he
mas with the circus for the coming
summer means $4,000 in cash to
him, and when that is fulfilled l
think you will hear Jess announce
that he is through with the prize
ring.
when Jess signed to fight Moran
he said to me: Dave, I've got all
the money / need. If l live to
ripe old age l will never spend all
the money have now. I'm tired of
the excitement of the fighting game
and / want to settle down and lead
a quiet life. My opinion has been
realized and l have the fortune I
wanted when l first took up fighting
as a business"

LESS THAN 100000 ACRES
OF FOREST BURNED IN 1915

Washington, April FOREST fires
burned over not quite 100000 acres
of National Forest land in 1915, ac-
cording to official reports just COM

thousand. Out of total of 6,S2i
fires, 346, or " per cent, did dam
age to the amount of 500 or more.
The timber loss was 156,000,000
board feet, valued at $190,00O.0O.
Although the season was regarded
as one of unusual exposure, owing
to delayed fall rains, the loss was
materially below the average Of the
last five years. Over 81 per cent of
this loss occurred in the States of
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho,
while more than ~ per cent was in
Oregon alone. Besides the timber
loss, fires destroyed reproduction, or
young tree growth, of an estimated
value of 100000, and $3.407 worth
of forage. The loss per fire in 1915
was $6O.41, which is $14.03 less than
the fve-year average, while the cost
of fighting each fire was $20.S3 less.
Lightning figures as the chief
cause of forest fires in 1915, as it
does in the average year. Twenty
eight and half per cent of the fires
were due to this cause Campers

A certain percentage Of our farm
ers are increasing their power of pro-

have already eliminated the scrub
animal, the meagre garden, the
dearth of conveniences about the
farmstead, and in the home, In fact,
have brought the mind into action.
II is to this element of our farmers
that we must look to tide us over
the low ebb in the farming interests.
We must differentiate clearly be-
tween large yields per acre and a
successful farm unit, for many a
man makes large yields and yet can
not succeed in general. This is
probably due to a lack of system,
inefficient animals, too much work,
poor judgment in buying and sell
ing or to some other such cause.
This man and likewise the farmer
with depleted soil, little and infer
ior live stock, few conveniences about
the premises and an unattractive
home, find farming Improbable.

scheme but is a good conservative
business that can be made success

edge of production with ingenuity
and business acumen and a willing
ness to work.-Farm Bulletin.
