CLOVER SILAGE FOR
cows MEETS FAVOR
Interesting Experiments Conduct.
ed by Montana Station
Feed Is Economical.

In most sections corr is the i'm.
portant silage crop and there is no
doubt that it is more successfully
ensiled than any other crop. How.
ever, there are times when it would
be both economical and convenient
to put clover into the silo, but in many
cases the farmer is doubtful of the re.
suits which he might obtain.
The Montana station carried on q
series Of experiments with clover 81.
lage for three years, the results Of
which are set forth in Bulletin 81.
They used the second crop of clover,
and whenever 1t seemed dry, enough
water al added to make it pack
we'll. The resulting silage seemed to
be of good quality and the cattle ate
1t readily. To test the feeding value
of the silage they fed two lots of
five cows each for five weeks. One lot
received grain, timothy hay, and clover
silage; the other grain. timothy hay.
and clover hay. At the end of five
weeks the feed was reversed, 1. g.,
those receiving silage we're fed clover
hay while the others received the 81.
lage instead Of clover hay. Similar Ok.
periments were carried on during the
two succeeding winters. The average
results Of these three trials showed
that practically the same amount of
grain was required by both silage.fed
and hay.fed animals for the production
OF 100 pounds of milk. The hay.fed
lot required 1886 pounds of it to
produce 100 pounds Of milk, while
1888 pounds of silage and 32.2
pounds of hay were required by the
other lot. The difference of 56.45
pounds Of hay may be taken as the
equivalent of 1898 pounds of clover
silage. In other words, one pound of
hay has about the same value as 2.3
pounds Of silage.

YOUNG PIGS TusKs
Youngsters Often Use Teeth In Fight.
Ing for Possession Of Teat-Not
Difficult Job.

When young pigs are nursing they
will often fight n another for the
possession Of a teat, and at that early
age will make use OF their tusks. The
results are many lacerated mouths.
The teats Of the sows sometimes be-
come sore from the same cause.
The removal of the tusks is the best
way to prevent these troubles. This
is done by taking a pig under the left
arm, the mouth is then opened and the
tusks are broken of near the gums
both sides Of the mouth.

from this incubus that the problem
must be relieved II the country is to
enjoy the benefits of a well ordered
system of highways.
Good roads not only cost a great
deal of money In their construction,
but also in their maintenance or ad.
ministration. It has been the habit in
this country to work on the roads
when all other work was done, and
this has meant that the roads have
had attention only once or twice o
year. Macadam roads do not take

clay roads require daily supervision II
they are to give service for which
they were designed and built. In
France every mile Of road is inspected
daily, and it is the constant vigilance
of trained supervision that enables the
railroads Of the country to take care
of the business Of the country. There
ought to be the same sort and degree
of supervision Of the roads Of the
United States II they are to give the
service for which they are built. To
make a mile Of macadam road eight
feet wide and eight inches thick, 1850
tons Of stone are required, and to
build a mile of gravel road eight feet
wide and eight inches thick, 1,142.93
cubic yards of compacted, or. 1854 Gu

effective there must be proper drain

as will make them fit for the traffic
and constant surface betterment, and
1t Is nothing short of criminal waste
to build roads of macadam and ex-

Undoubtedly the best system of main

RIGHT WAY TO CATCH SHEEP
Get Him Either by Hind Leg or PIae-
Ing Hand Under JaW-Never
Grab Him by the Wool.

It is improper to catch a sheep by
its wool. Butchers know what it
means to the poor animal, for It leaves
q black or blue mark or bruise on the
carcass, which interferes with the sale
of It.
Catch q sheep either by the hind leg
or by placing the hand underneath the
jaw or neck. When using a crook, aim
to catch a sheep above the gambrel
Joint. as there is danger of injuring the
leg when catching It below this Joint.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
TELLS RHEUMATISM SUFFER
ERS TO EAT LESS NEAT AND
TAKE SALTS.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-lznown author
ity. We are advised to dress warmly;
keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat
less meat, but drink plenty Of good
water.
Rheumatism is direct result Of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function Of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast It out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail TO eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first -twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
%of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and lie made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithis
and ish used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
