of Trade on January %. By taking up
such resolution, the board will con-
slider for the first time in. its history a

The plea for the vote of the people on
the matter was unanimously indorsed
last week by the board of directors of

by c. ]. 'Gockeler, former secretary.
There Is much speculation as to the
exact meaning OF Mr.. Gockeler's resolu-
ton. He asks of Congress that "ths
residents" of the District be permitted to
vote on the question, not combining the
proposed vote to the male population.
giving, on the other hand, AN opening
for women of the District to be officially
recognized In deciding the prohibition
question.

Silage as a Feed for Live Stock

"HE question of silage as feed is like all other
questions in that there are two sides to it.
However, you will find by carefully Investigate
ing the matter that there very few people who,
after once thoroughly trying out the silo are not
enthusiastic in favor of its Those who are the
strongest in opposing and condemnng its use are the
ones who know little nothing about it. The only
real objections that be raised to the the so
are the cost of construction and the cost and trouble of
filling OF course the original cost of the siIo is con-
siderable, but must consider the cost of building
so as an investment and then consider whether or
it will pay interest the money invested When all
the advantages are taken into consideration the so
will not only pay interest the investment but in
many cases will pay for itself by the feed that it
saves, especially in years when feed is scarce 1t is
true that the problem Of filling is sometimes little
hard to solve, but this like most of Problems is
harder to solve before it is reached than after As

that the breeding that fed on a limited
ration of kar sage 20 pounds per day per thousand
pounds live weight and pound Of cottonseed meal
per day. ate little than an acre and a half of
wheat straw, figuring the basis of $50 days for the
winter feeding season. and where the kar was fed as
ate less than of wheat straw per day On the
other hand it required only % of acre of kafr to
feed $50 days when the kafir was put into the
sio and 81 of when the kafr fodder was fed
Thus maximum of wheat straw and a minimum of
forage crops needed to carry the cattle through
the winter where sage fed. This is a decided
advantage in the western part of the state
And to the relative advantage of feeding siage as
compared to dry feed, especially in stormy weather,
there is no comparison
Some people complain that stockers that win
tered on sage do not make satisfactory gains pas
ture This is undoubtedly due to the fact that stockers
that wintered literally sage make so much
better gains than those that winered on dry feed
that they go to grass in better condition Then too
siage fed cattle do not make the phenomenal Gill"
grass that is noticeable the first month or so with
dry fed cattle and people get the impression that they

will be no difference in the way they pasture
Fattenng cattle be fed sage to advantage, es-
pecally during the early period of feeding, but on
account Of its bulk it should be cut down during

Of raising enough roughage to properly winter the live
stock kept is serious one then the slo is the solution
of the problem 1t has been proven beyond the question
of doubt that the land will produce feed enough
to carry from one-thrd to one-half stock when
the feed is put into the so than when fed fodder
Another big advantage of silage is that, due to its
sueculent nature it gives the stock appetite for dry
feed and it has been found that where cattle were being
wintered siage they eat almost twice as much
wheat straw the cattle that were fed the same
amount of feed in the form of fodder. This is a big
advantage especially in the sections of the state where
a large acreage of wheat is raised and the straw is
considered burden At the Hays Station it found

the latter stages Of feeding to get the best results
For dairy cattle, slage is almost indispensable.
Sheep, the animal with "th0 golden hoof," do well on
slage; especially should slage be fed to the breeding
ewes in winter, it keeps the in excellent con-
dton if small amount of protein supplement is used
and they bring forth extremely strong and rugged
lambs For fattenng lambs, siage decreases the cost
OF gain and increases the profit per head although the
sheep do not gain quite fast.
For hogs silage has not proven very efficient for the
reason that sage is made of feeds that not readily
used by hogs.
Horses do well slage that is in perfect condition.
but it must be remembered that horses cannot be fed
sour musty or mody feed and has been pointed out
such conditions apt to be found in the sage unless
care has been taken in filling the so. Do not feed
frozen silage to horses that too, will dsas
rous results If you feed sage to horses be sure that
it is not mody musty, frozen has been frozen
