CLUB SHOULD BE SATISFIED
Organization That PersistentIy Fought
for Shorter Skirts Might as
Well Disband.

Twenty years ago an organization
Of women in New York began fight
to influence women to wear shorter
skirts. The organization was known
as the Rainy Day club, and branches
of it were formed throughout the coun-
try. Mrs. A. M. Palmer, who has
been president Of the organization
since its birth, has just announced that
the fight has been won with a ven
geance, and that the organization may
as well disband, unless it should de-
eide to reverse it's bylaws and begin
a crusade for longer garments.
When the Rainy Day club was or
ganized, the style for women was to
wear long trailing skirts that did a
portion of the work now paid for by
the STRENGTHENING department. Cru
saders for shorter skirts produced vol
umes of testimony from physicians
that the long, dragging, heavy skirts
were wrecking the health Of women,
carving disease germs and causing
many kinds of grief. The rainy dais-
les, as they were then called, pleaded
for skirts at least four inches from
the ground. The fight was stubborn.
For some time Fashion would not yield
an inch. Then the bicycle fad came
along and helped little. Finally the
shortening process gained Roadway,
and even casual glance skirtward
today finds proof that the battle has
been won, and the time has come to
call a halt. 1t is high time that the
Rainy Day clubs disband.- Minneapo-
lis Tribune.

quarters of billion dollars, the feed
value of the rest of the crop is nearly

Of the iced value of the stalk is lost

agement-a waste with this crop alone
of a billion dollars annually. No
other business but farming could stand
such an enormous loss.
Contrast this waste by the corn
growers with the practices of large
business organizations. For years the
great packing houses have sold dressed
meat for less than they have paid for
the live weight Of the animals. Yet
every year these packing houses re-
turn millions Of dollars profit be-
cause they utilize to the fullest extent
the value of their by-products. At the
same time the corn growers are vast
ing most of 40 per cent of the feed
value of over one hundred million
acres Of corn.
Great Value Of SiIo.
The results of hundreds of feeding
experiments conducted in the past ten
years with silage as a part of the
ration gives proof Of the great value
Of the silo to the farmer. There will
always be more or less of the corn
crop shocked in the field, but corn left
exposed to the weather loses the great
er part Of its feeding value. Why
waste the crop after you have grown
it, when you can put it in silo and
preserve it with all it's succulence?
Have a silo-no matter what kind
but have one.

found corn ensilage TO be worth from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton when fed to
fattening steers and sheep. This is
in the light of the fact that corn en-
silage will not cost the farmer more
than So ton and should be convincing
argument.
Pennsylvania station found good re-
suits in feeding steers silage and real
lied a value OF $500 a ton when used
in this way. They also found silage
superior to hay and much more eco
nomic in the raising of young stock.
Ontario experiment station found
they could save 500 on every 5000 in
vested in feed if they used corn ensi-
lage in preference to hay in feeding
cattle.
Kansas experiment station not only
produced beef cheaper with ensilage
in the ration but also the Staggered
steers sold at higher price on the
market than did the dry-fodder steers.
They found corn ensilage when put in
the silo would keep for five and six
years and retain it's feeding value.
Michigan experiment station has
been using silos since 1881, and has
found in several experiments ensilage
to be the most economic form of feed
ing the corn plant to live stock.
Silage, when fed in conjunction with
alfalfa, produced mutton more cheaply
than when hay was used.
Many other stations have tested out
the economic use of the silo, and one
and all have Endorsed it as practical,
economic equipment for the stock
farmer.
Thousands Of farmers and stOckmen
all over the country have been demon
strating for the last quarter Of CEN
fury the economic use of the silo, and
all who now have such equipment are
strong in it's praise.
EnsiIage VS.. Grain.
In test conducted recently the Ohio
experiment station endeavored to an
swer the question, Can ensilage be
made to take the place of a consider
able portion of the grain ration usu-
ally fed to dairy cows?
Ten cows, representing five different
breeds, were fed these rations from

silo-but you can't afford to be with
out one.
It is not necessary to construct an
expensive one to start with-a cheaper
kind will do. There is no best silo,
generally speaking. The best silo for
you is the one which can be con-
structed on your farm at the lowest
cost and pay you the greatest profit.
A pit silo or bank silo may be the
best for you. They are adapted to
many sections. Regions which are
passing through the pioneer stage OF
their development, where the cost Of
material, labor and transportation is
high, need MT be without a silo. Kan
sas, Nebraska and Colorado farmers
have constructed more than three
thousand pit silos in the past two
years. In Montana, the Dakotas and
other northern states, where the win
tiers are severe, the pit silO is in gen
eral use. They cannot blow down nor
freeze up, and they are cheaply con-
structed.
Prove Value of SiIo.
A good proof of the value of the silo
is a record of some work done in a
cow-testing association at Albert Lea,
Mimi, under the direction of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
In this association IL herds, or ZIG
cows were fed silage and 16 herds, or
239 cows were not fed lsilage. Tt seems
to me that when a man will examine
these data carefully he cannot but feel
that he is the loser if he does not have
silo.
The results show that it cost 1882
more per COW to feed the silage herd
than it did to feed the herd which had
no silage, but the silage-fed cows pro-
duced SO pounds more butterfat per
cow, giving a net profit of $1,000 more

"The public" he said, likes trash.

BILLIONS WASTED ON FARMS

Many of us fail to appreciate our
real blessings, because we regard them
as just common everyday things. If
some mysterious power were to sud-
denly change winter into summer, it
would be recorded as a miracle. In
reality, this is what the silo does

makes June grass out of the waste
products of the farm. Silage is the

man can get the best out of the bust
ness of farming without silo.
1t combines more good things sand
brings greater profits than any other
building on the farm; it provides a
cheap and convenient place to store
all of the crop; helps utilize cheap
roughage, makes it possible to keep
more stock on the farm, which means
more manure for the land. The silo
insures succulent feed in the winter
and in dry spells when pastures fail /;
provides a balanced ration when fed
with alfalfa, clover, bran, cottonseed
meal and other protein or muscle-build-
ing feeds. The silo takes care of the
crops and clears the land for early fall
blowing, prevents waste in feeding,
keeps stock in good condition, makes
cheap beef and milk.
Waste With Corn Crop.
The greatest waste in any one indus
try in America occurs with the corn
crop. The grain Of the corn crop Of
the United States every year is worth
on the farms about $1,7OO,OOO,oOO; 60
per cent of the feed value in matured
coEn is contained in the kernels, and
40 per cent in the stalk and leaves.

two to four months, five cows taking
the test the full four months.
The cows fed the silage ration pro-
duced 86.7 pounds of milk and sos
pounds OF butterfat per 100 pounds
of dry matter.
The cows fed the grain ration pro-
duced 81.3 pounds of milk and 80
pounds of butterfat per 100 pounds Of
dry matter,
The average net profit per cow per
month over cost Of feed was $3.50 with
the silage ration and $40 with the
grain ration.
Fodder or SiIage.
At the Nebraska experiment. station
two groups of calves nine months old
were fed from March 25 to August 10.
In one lot each animal received an
average daily ration of: Corn, rs
pounds; alfalfa hay, IL pounds; shred
ded slower without ears), 3.6 pounds.
The animals in the other lot received
an average daily ration of Corn, 81
pounds; alfalfa, 3.4 pounds, and corn
silage, Is pounds.
The larger amount of corn was fed
to the slower lot to offset the grain
contained in the silage. The two rations,
therefore, were practically Identical,
except that to one lot Of animals the
cornstalks were fed as shredded sto-
yer, while to the other they were fed
as silage.
The silage-fed calves made an aver
age daily gain of 1.8 pounds each,
which was about one-third Of a pound
| more than the average daily gain in
the stover-fed lot. The silage ration
was II per cent more efficient than the
stover ration. On that basis the same
area Of corn, of the same kind, when
put in the silo would make IL per
cent more beef than when cut for fod-
der AID fed dry.
There was time when silage was
considered entirely as a dairyman's
feed. 1t is just as good for the pro-
duction OF beef. One experiment may

made with practically the same result.
At the Indiana experiment station four
lots Of steers were fed as follows:
Lot 1-Shelled corn, clover hay, cot
tonseed meal. Average profit per head
when sold, 1897.
Lot 2-Shelled corn, cottonseed meal,
clover hay and silage, half and half.
Profit per head, $10.51.
Lot 3-Shelled corn, cottonseed meal,
and all the clover hay and silage they
would eat, given separately. Under
this method Of feeding the steers ate
ten times as much silage as clover hay.
Profit per head, 1889.
Lot 4EShelled corn, cottonseed meal
and silage only. Profit per head, $2O.96.
The Missouri state board of agricul-
ture asked 200 farmers this question:
by feeding silage have you reduced
your feed bill?"
Out of the 200 farmers 1876 answered
"Yes;" four said they didn't know.
