Silage-Canned Corn-No Tin Needed.
Less grain can be fed by many
dairymen without reducing milk
production, provided they feed
more silage and legume hay. Less
grain will be available for feeding
to cattle, for much more than usual
is needed now for human food, and
the emergency demands that every
effort be made for its conservation.
Milk production must be maintain.
ed, hence every effort should be
made to substitute other feeds for
grain in the dairy ration. To do
that the silo will help.
Fruits and green vegetables are
canned so as to supply succulent
and pa1atable foods to the family
during the winter. Succulence is
| just as essential to the COW as to
the human being. The abundant,
milk flow obtained from June pas
ture to a large extent is due to the
succulence of the grass. Silage
provides succulent feed during the
winter when pasture is not avail
able. With silage in the ration
dairy cattle can be kept in the con-
dition of health common to animals
on pasture. The digestive system
of COW is we'll suited for the util-
ization of large quantities of green
grasses and other coarse, succulent
material. Silage is palatable, and
no other feed will combine so we'll
with dry hay as a little grain to
produce maximum economical re-
suits.
| Soiling is an excellent way of
preserving the mature corn crop or
of saving one which for any reason
must be harvested before maturity.
About 40 per cent of the total food
material in the corn plant is in the
stalks and leaves. When the farm
er harvests only the ears he loses
nearly one-h half of the crop; on the
other hand, when the crop is put
into the sio the losses are very
small. When drought, frost, or in
sects attack a field of corn before
it is ripe. the entire crop may be
lost unless the farmer has silo
ready in which to preserve it.
| No feed crop can be successfully
harvested under widely varing con.
ditions as those that are put into
the silo. Only in case of drought
or frost is it necessary to rush the
filling of the silo; rain or
dew on the forage does not injure
the silage.
The soil at all times. and par
ticularly now. offers to the farmer
one of the best means of reducing
his feed bills. The present great
national emergency places these
questions before every farmer who
keeps cattle: Have you silo?
If you have not, your herd is not
most economically fed; why not
build a silo and fill it before frost
comes? If you have one, is it big
enough to supply all the silage
your cattle can eat before the next
crop is harvested? If not, build
another! You can buy one ready
to erect, or you can build it your
self at small cash expenditure.
Homemade silos of concrete or
wood can be erected with little
trouble.
Call on the extension department
of your State agriculture college
for any assistance that you may
need in this respect. If the college

JUNEAU'S FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
 IN GOOD SHAPE
Fire Alarm Boxes Were Tested - Improve mentS Recently
 Made.

The Juneau Fire Department is in excellent shape to handle any fires which may occur during the cold weather of the winter This morn ing the fire alarm boxes were test d out by Chief Sim Freiman and Frank Sargent and all were found to be in perfect condition. Chief Treiman said this morning that with ing the next few days an inspection of all fire hydrants will be made and those found to be defective will Oe repaired.
 An exhaust pipe has been put in position under the floor of the fire from the two fire trucks. Hereto fore the gas from the engines has filled the building but now it will all be led outside under the floor and discharged into the open air As t is necessary to warm the big en- zine on the American LaFrance up every day. this will do away with | great deal of inconvenience which he gases might otherwise cause, where they discharge into the build ng as formerly.
 No fire alarms have been sounded Juneau since the 28th of October,
 nd the boys of the department are making bets as to whether the pres ant state will hold good for a full month, or whether an alarm will be sounded within the next few days.

2. Where the wife owns lands
which has produced income by the

each state to be entrained for mo-

and September 5. Unless we wish
to be put in a position of not fur

partment Is ready to receive them,
each state should have accumulated
by. September l minimum of one
third or its quota not exempted or
discharged. This can only be at
tained IL local boards certify these
lists up with great expedition.
The message was followed up by a
new ruling regarding exemptions be-
cause of dependents, which is expected
to decrease considerably the loss OF
men from the military service for
this reason. Boards are authorized to
deny exemptions to married men
whose wives are solely dependent
upon them, but where the parents or
other relatives of either wife or hus-
band are willing to assume the burden
of her support during his absence.
The same course is to be followed
where any drafted mans employers
agree to continue his salary as a pa
triotic duty. q.
third supplemental ruling pro-
vides that where a man has supported
his dependents by his own labor on
land which he owns and the boards
find that the land could be rented to
advantage 50 as to continue the sup
port of the wife derived from the
rental, exemption for the man may
be denied.
The telegram to the governors fol-
lows:
Under presidential regulations the
term dependent for support" ha~
given rise to several further ques-
tions of principle affecting large
numbers of persons.
The general basis for ruling upon
such questions should be the spirit
and purpose of the act in provid-
ing for such discharge, wherever
the terms of the act and of the
regulations are not in themselves
conclusive. The act authorizes the
President to discharge wherever the
parties drafted are "in a status with
respect to persons dependent upon
them for support which renders
their exclusion or discharge advisa-
BILE"
Such dependency ordinarily rem
ders discharge advisable, because
since the drafted person loses his
civil income and thus loses his
means of support. the wife is left
without support and this lack of
support is the effect which the act
aims to avoid. But wherever sucl
