PUT SLOWER
IN THE SILO

WASHINGTON, ID. C.--The most ec-
onomical way of handling corn stOver
is to put il in the silo If generally
adopted. this practice would end
waste thru wrong methods that now
amounts to 35 per cent of all the sto-
YER fed says the L. S. department of
agriculture. 1t would place at the dis
posal of the farmer an enormous mass
of roughage to cheaper the cost OF pro-
ducing meat and to maintain soil fer
tility in the most economical of all
ways-by the production of manure.
That the value of stover as fed is rec
onized to some extent is indicated by
the fact that Sl.5 per cent of what is
produced is fed In some way. FIRE.
quently, however, II is not the right
way. For instance, such practices as
pulling the fodder" topping" the
corn are most wasteful but approx
mately 80 per cent of matured corn is
handled in ! of these 2 ways. The
stalks that are left standing in the
field are pastured. plOwed under, or
burned. To burn stover is a crime
against intelligent agriculture. for
which ii is difficult to find any ex-
planation except obstinate ignorance
on the part of the perpetrator. 1t Of
fers quick and easy method Of clean
ing the ground for plowing. but that is
small offset for the waste of good
material Flowing under and pastur-
ing are better but they also involve
some waste. on the other hand en-
SLING the stover means that its feed
ing value is utilized to the full. A
quantity of roughage is provided which
lessons the need for expensive cOncen-
trates and makes the production of
meat more profitable by lowering the
cost of manufacture. Obviously. this
is a stimulus to the keeping Of live
stock, which from every point of view
is most desirable. In preparing stover
for feeding, chopping or shredding
increased its palatability and enables
greater quantity to be stored in
given space. Both Of these methodk,
however. involve the use OF additional
labor and can only be recommended
when labor and power are cheap and
abundant. Cutting and shocking. on
the other hand. involve some waste,
but in general, this Is offset by the saw
Ing in labor No matter how IL is pre-
pared. corn stover with a little grain
or other concentrate. Is an excellent
roughage for wintering cattle, especial
ly mature breeding cows. In some sec
tions IL is the sole roughage used for
this purpose. In Others oat straw is
added.

Not all the war regulations suit the
Germans. The Berlin Zeitung am Nit
tag thus rails at one: 1t was beau
tiful forenoon. and we were seated in
the bright sunshine at Kranzler's, taxi
ing a cup of coffee. There approached
a lady, somewhere midway in the 30's
with her evidently more than 7O-year-
old mother. GONE, mummie,' said the
younger one. ''let us sit down and rest
ourselves a little here in the pleasant
sunshine" They sat down. The wait
ress draws near, the ladies' give their
orders, but stark and stiff the girl
stands before them and gives utter
ance to the winged words: Ladies' un-
accompanied by gentlemen may not be
served in this establishment" Great
commotion--bOth rise and withdraw
on her way out the younger OF the 2
remarks: Shall i summon my hus-
band out of. the trenches so that / may
be allowed to sit down here" The
table beside us remains empty After
time there appears carefully

APPROVE CO.
OPERATIVE PLAN

The preliminary organization for
the purchasing of groceries under the
cooperative plan was formed by rep
resentatives of practically all the To-
cal unions in Topeka. The LIST orders
Will be received at the Topeka Indus
trial council hall. AIS Kansas avenue.
Every member of labor union in
the city Is eligible to become a mem
ber of the organization. and whether
member or not. will be permitted
to order groceries under the plan for
the LIST few weeks. 1t is believed by
the promoters OF the plan that prices
on all staples can be discounted by
at least 10 per cent by buying in
large quantities for cash. Orders re-
Ceived up until Monday noon were
tabulated, then buyer will go to the
retail grocers and ask for bids. The
most satisfa ctory bid will be accepted
and paid for in cash. Many retailers
are said to be in favor OF the plan,
because II will give them an oppor-
tunity OF selling In larger quantities
than customary. thus creating a saw
ing both to merchant and consumer.
All orders must be in by Monday noon
to secure delivery next week. A num-
ber of women present at the meeting
were in favor of the idea of co-op-
erative buying. The argument that
any good housewife should know on
Monday what groceries she needs dur
Ing the week was advanced. Another
meeting to complete the final organ
ization will be held Thursday night
Topeka Capital.
