OF tomorrow evenings service DR..
Lyon and his co-workers will bid
many OF their friends good-by who
will be unable to go TO the station on
Monday morning to see the campaign

Railroad station on Monday morning

leave. Or. Lyon will hold a brief ser
vice at the station. The party Will go
direct TO Spokane. Washington, where
Dr. Lyon will conduct six-weeks'
campaign.
The. largest crowd OF the entire

closing services tomorrow. There Is
little question that all the closing SER

Clergymen agree that never in the
history OF the city has there been such
moral and spiritual awakening as
has grown out of the evangelistic
campaign. They say seven weeks Of
tabernacle services have done more
toward awaking the city to its relig-
ious responsibility than any church

have been able TO accomplish.

CORN FOR THE sILo.

Best Time For Cutting 10 When Lower
Kernels Are Fully Dented.
Silage crops should be allowed to be-
come thoroughly matured If possible
because Of the food nutrients which
develop during the last growing period
Of the crop. Corn does not increase
greatly in bulk after 1t tassels out; but,
due to the storage of protein and
starch in the stalk and ear between
the time it tassels out and the time It
is thoroughly dented, 1t Increases from
eight to ten times its original feeding
value.
In case crop becomes too dry be
fore it is placed in the silo the condi-
tion may be remedied by adding sufi-
cient moisture to cause the silage to
pack well. This can be done by pour
ing buckets Of water on the silage, but
where water pressure is available sim
ply turn the hose into the blewpipe.
The right time for making silage
from corn is. when the kernels are
thoroughly dented and the lower blades
have begun to burn. Sorghum should
be cut for silage when twO-thirds Of
the heads are thoroughly ripened. IT
is necessary to get at the corn imme-
diately when dry winds begin to burn
it up. Sorghum, feterita, Kafir or mia
will wait several days for cutting with:
out serious damage.

stituents of milk and unless the ration
supplies these minerals in abundance
there cannot be be heavy flow, says
the Kansas Farmer Experiments have
been conducted that show conclusively
that mineral matter has most Inn
portant place in milk production. 1t is
possible also that failure to breed
may at times result from lack of
minerals in the feed.
The Kansas dairyman is especially
fortunate because alfalfa supplies
plenty of ash material, and cows fed
alfalfa will seldom lack for mineral
matter in their ration.
Very heavy producing cows, however.
cannot digest enough mineral matter
to keep up the maximum milk flow, so
in order to get full flow Of milk from
cows of such large capacity 1t Is neces-
sary that reserve be stored. It is pos
sible for the animal to do this just as
it is possible to lay up store OF fat
to be used later. A heavy. producing
cow will actually transfer mineral mat
ter from the bones Of her body to bc
used in making milk. 1t is thus highly
important that milk COWS be fed such
feed during the dry period as will build
up the mineral part Of the body.
Nearly all grains are deficient in lime
and other minerals. Feeds richest in
mineral are the legumes - alfalfa.
clover or cowpeas. We habitually
think of these as important sources of
protein, but they are none the less Inn
portant sources of mineral matter, and
this can be accumulated end stored in
the body. Protein cannot be SO stored.
ANY in excess Of immediate require.
ments Is wasted.
The important point is that the dry
COW of large capacity must not be fed
too cheap ration. Corn fodder, silage,
straw and other cheap feeds commonly
used in maintenance rations cannot
build up the animals reserve of min
eral matter during the resting period.
For this reason cows Of large capacity
should be fed rations that will supply
them plenty Of mineral matter during
the dry period. Unless some reserve
is stored they may not produce up to
their maximum capacity when they
freshen.
