Lads.

Danville, Ill.-Shep. collie dog that
was to have been killed because Of
his age, saved the sons of his master,
Henry Miller, from death when they
were attacked recently by an angry
bull.
Jake Miller. age twenty-three, and
Valentine Miller. age fifteen, still are
in serious condition of injuries in
flicted by the animal, and Shep,
swathed in bandages and with one leg
in splints, is being cared for in the
house by a veterinary.
The boys had gone for the cows and
were attacked by the bull, which Shep
attacked vigorously, so distracting the
animals attention from the boys. both
of whom were gored and trampled,
that their father was able to drive
the Infatuated animal away with
pitch fork before the sons were killed.
The decision to kill Shep has been
abandoned.

The negro attacked her again, but
he was himself now badly frightened
and made q hurried exit With the
negro out of the way, Miss Snyder sue
ceeded in removing the apron from her
head and eyes. Immediately she ran
to the street, where her hands were I'M
tied and the alarm given to the police.
Mr.. LaFar states he was on the
south side of the city at the time Of
the attack. He tried to get his Office
by telephone, but was unable to get
response. This aroused his suspicion
that something was wrong and he hur-
ried to the Office.
1t happened that there were only a
few dollars in the safe at the time. Mr..
LaFar states that the safe was not
locked, he having merely thrown the
bolts when he closed the door, so that
the negro might have opened it easily
but for Miss Snyder's outcries.
Miss Snyder left school to enter an
office and help support her mother and
sister. She is now working her way
through bookkeeping course at a
business college, where she is consid-
cred diligent and apt pupil.
The police have been unable to OBJ
tain any clew as to the identity of the
negro.

The girl was attacked suddenly from

for "Mr. Sims" Before she had time
to cry out the negro had covered her

, a silo-but you can't afford to be with
out one.
1t 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 not be without 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 Silo.
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 u herds, or 216
cows were fed silage and 16 herds, or
239 cows were not fed silage. 1t seems
to me that when q 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 1t cost SS.62
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 50 pounds more butterfat per
cow, giving net profit Of $1,000 more
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-09-29

found corn ensilage to be worth from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton when fed tc
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 value of $500 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 $63 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 silage-fed
steers sold at a 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 its 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 a 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 a 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 consider
able portion of the grain ration usu-
ally fed to dairy cows?
Ten cows, representing five different
breeds, were fed these rations from

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 q miracle. In
reality, this is what the silo does
changes winter into summer. The silo
makes June grass out of the waste
products Of the farm. Silage is the
winter pasture for the farm animals.
The silO is the cows kraut barrel. No
man can get the best out of the bust
ness of farming without silo.
1t combines more good things and
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
pm the farms about $1,7OO,OOO,O 60
per cent of the feed value in matured
corn is contained in the kernels, and
20 per cent in the stalk and leaves.
With the grain worth nearly three
