of the Dairy Division in United States Farmers' Bulletin 5j6), furnishes 1e good reasons why every farmer should have a silo. Everyone of them touches some spot of vital importance:
 Twelve Siio Reasons.
 l. More feed can be stored in giv- en space in the form of silage than in the form of fodder or hay.
 ?. There is smaller loss of food material when a crop is made into si- lage, than when cured as fodder or hay.
 .. Corn silage is a better feed than corn fodder.
 1. An acre of corn can be placed in the silo at less cost than the same area can be husked and shredded.
 5. Crops can be put in the silo dur ing weather that could not be utilized in making hay or curing fodder. G. More stock can be kept on giv- en area of land when silage is the basis of the ration.
 :. There is less waste in feeding si- lage than in feeding fodder. Good si- lage properly fed is all consumed.
 s. Silage is very palatable. 9. Silage. like other succulent feeds, has beneficial effect upon the diges- tive organs.
 10. SilaGe Is the cheapest and best form in which a succulent feed can be provided for winter use. II. Silage can be used for supple | menting pasture more economically than can soiling crops, because it re- quires less labor, and silage is more palatable.
 r.. Converting the corn crop into si- | lage cleans the land and leaves it ready for another crop.

A HEALTH BAROMETER
AS Discussed in the Weekly Bulletin of the
Bureau of Municipal Research

From the mortality report of the Bureau Of
Health we learn that 465 more persons died
this year in Philadelphia in the four weeks just
preceding Christmas than died in the cores
ponding period last year; that the additional
deaths are largely due to pneumonia. grip and
bronchitis, and that persons of all ages have
succumbed.
II epidemic of smallpox or Asiatic cholera
had produced like mortality in month.
the city would have been panic-strcken and
citizens would have been making every effort
and Federal health services would have been
working overtime. strict quarantine would
have been maintained. Every private interest
would have been relegated to the background
In order that the public might have protec-
ton. But 1t was not smallpox Asiatic
cholera that produced the 465 deaths.
They We're caused by diseases not readily
controlled or stamped out by coercive meas
ures. Drastic quarantine methods would prob
ably avail very little However, that does not
lessen the community's responsibility to under
take the prevention and prompt control of these
diseases To save from smallpox and
lose him through pneumonia is prohtless busl-
ness. Public health work will have to follow
new paths II 1t is to mean real conservation
OF life,
the relation between pneumonia and hygienic
surroundings, proper ventilation and careful,
temperate living. Proper housing. health edu-
cation and the creation of enthusiasm for
health in the mind Of each individual are some
of the activities which will have to receive
more emphasis than has been possible for pub
lie health officials to give them in the past.
The best that the community can furnish OF
men and other resources will be we'll spent.

DIRECTOR WILSON TALKS RIGHT

want every to feel that he has but
one superior, and that is the Director OF
Public Safety-Director Wilson to the po-
lice captains
NNHIS first official pronouncement OF Direc-
i tor Wilson is in fulhment OF his promise.
backed by that of the Mayor, to keep the
police out of politics.
The Directors announcement that his or
ders are to be interpreted by him alone and
that he will tolerate the interference OF no
outside influences is part of the same dec
laration OF independence.
Every honest and faithful police officer
must feel reassured by the promise OF pro-
lection In the exercise OF his duty. The
threat OF politician to "bTeak" him unless
he becomes cOmplaisant loses all its force
under such a policy. We have had four

OF considering nothing but its duty to the
public that the restoration OF the old condi-

the interests OF the ward leaders will be
well-nigh impossible.

ginning.
