SHOTGUN BEST FOR CROWS
Flreworks> at Night Cause Them to
Change Roasting Places.

A shotgun is the most practical
method OF getting rid Of crows, &c.
cording to Prof. C. e. Sanborn, Depart.
nent of Entomology at Oklahoma
A. & NJ. College at saltwater. At
tempts to poison crow usually re-
suit in killing more domestic animals
and harmless birds than crows.
Arrange a blind" says Prof. San
born, "that is, a rudely constructed
cover suitable for screening one or
two persons. This can be made with
a few posts and some hay. straw, or
fodder, with a little lattice-work for
holding the top and sides in place. A
carcass or offal can be arranged with.
in good shooting distance, for bait.
Posts can be arranged in line with
the bait with fence poles nailed be-
tween the posts. The crows will light
on this fence before going to the bait,
and a person inside the blinds with a
shotgun can kill a number of birds at
one shot. A crow call can be used to
advantage.
"Crows, like chickens, have a habit
Of coming together at night at roost
ing places. BY frightening them
they will usually change their roost
in places and, thereby. the territory
visited during the day. Fireworks
such al Roman candles or sky-rockets
can be used for this purpose. Scare
crows have a good effect II the crows
have been taught to be suspicious o.
anything that resembles . man."

IS NECESSITY
ON A DAIRY FARM
PROF. A. c. BAER OUTLINES
THE ADVANTAGES OF
FEEDING SllAGE
SAVES ONe.TH|RO CROP WASTE
Pit siIo 10 Cheapest and 10 satisfae-
tory Where Bottom Of siio 10
Above the Water
Level.

A silo filled with corn or good kanr
Is. a necessary and valuable adjunct
to Q dairy farm or any other farm
where livestock is kept, says Prof. A.
C. Baer. of the Dairy Department Of
Oklahoma A. & M. College. Plans
should be made this spring to grow a
feld of kafr or ear corn for the silo.
Silage provides a much needed Sue
culent feed for the COWS during the
winter and the dry season when pas,
lures are short and It IL the cheapest
feed for dairy cows. Ear corn makes
better silage than kair but where ear
corn 10 not grown successfully kafr
will usually do well and will make
good silage. Farmers should grow
suficient acreage OF kair to provide
at least 80 pounds Of silage per COW
during the feeding period.
Some Of the advantages Of q silo.
as outlined by Prof. Baer, are as fol-
lows:
1. Milk and butterfat can be pro-
duced more economically with silage.
2. Silage Is more conveniently
handled than dry fodder.
5. The siio prevents waste Of corn
or kair stalks which contain about
one.third the food value Of the entire
crop.
I. The silo will make palatable
food which would otherwise not be
eaten.
g.. The silo enables a larger num-
Der of animals to be kept on o given
number Of acres.
g.. No aggravating corn stalk in the
manure when the kafr is put into the
silo.
Z. Silage keeps the young heifers
In thrifty condition and growing all
winter.
8. When pastures are short in dry
weather, a silo will supply an eco.
nomical method Of feeding stock.
How Large should the sIio Be?
The size of a silo depends On the
number Of cows and other stock to be
fed and the length Of time silage ia
required. Good silage may be fed
the entire year but usually $50 days
should be figured on for an average
feeding period in Oklahoma. Dairy
COWS will eat from 30 to 40 pounds
Of ensilage per day and the silo
should be built so that two inches car
be removed each day during the feed
ing period.
Estimating 40 pounds of silage each
day for each COW. ten BOWS would re
quire in s months. 36 toni Of silage
which would require q silo 10 feet In
diameter and "a feet high. Five to {
acres Of kafr should be planted. A
silo holding 60 tons should be IL fee
in diameter and rs feet high. Eight
to 10 acres of kaHr would be required
:. A farm with only s cows should no
tbe without a silo. A small silo vii
more than repay itself very often il
a single year.
What Kind Of a Silo?
A pit silo is the cheapest kind t.
build. In most parts of Oklahoma
pit silo is Just as satisfactory as
surface silo. Twenty to thirty dol
lars worth of cement and sand will
provide for the material to build a L
: foot silo go feet deep. 1t must be un
derstood, however. that not all loca
f, tions are suited for a pit silo. TIL
bottom of the silo must be above tn
water level. Information regarding
A.. types and sizes of silos can be. obtain
ed by writing to the Dairy Depart
ment. A. & NJ. College, saltwater. Oh

Bv FRANCES FISHER BYERS

The Champlain Valley, rich in his
toric tradition, saw the idea OF mill
tary preparedness in this country
brought 10 life at Plattsburg, and 1t
is now seeing coordination OF patri-
otto efforts to bring America Through"
which will mean a big contribution
TO the completion Of the nations war
job.
For the reserve officers training
camp on the lake is only the focal
pojnt toward which New Workers and
New Englanders are looking. IL Is
perhaps the most efficient, the farthest
advanced of the various patriotic activ-
tiles along the lake. 1t is, Of course
the most important.
But the women of the valley are 60
ing forward vigorously with rehe1
work of various kinds, operating
through the National League for Wom-
ems Service, the Red Cross, which has
q Clinton County organization; the
formation of motor detachments, OF
which there are three already IN
Plattsburg, and the home gardening
movement. From Fort Ticonderoga TO
Plattsburg and along the Vermont
shore from Burlington TO st. Adams,
north to Chazy and Rouse's Point
where the American women almost
reach across and clasp hands with
their Canadian sisters, the Champlain
Valley is unfolding its patriotic ira
ditions. All the intermediate towns
Port Henry. Westport, Elizabethtown,
Crown Point. Port Kent, Valcour and
Peru, are giving their quota in service
and relief work.
A few miles down the lake from the
officers training camp the Junior
Plattsburg Camp, at Long Point, is be-
ginning the seasons work-a promising
institution which is planned to afford
military training under camp conditions
for boys between the ages of fourteen
and twenty.
Occasionally, along one Of the roads
out of Plattsburg, you can see a long
column of the men from the training
camp marching out to field problem,
singing song after song. saw one such
column swing past a house at which
an old woman sat, hands folded, en-
loving the sunshine. She rose and
waved an American flag as they went
by. She was very old woman. prob
ably out Of the ranks Of active service.
But | have no doubt that her daugh-
tiers, if she has any, are giving their
best, for that is the spirit of the
valley.
The work being done by Mrs. Walter
c. Witherbee, of Port Henry, has at
tracted widespread attention. AS chair
man of the Essex County branch of
the National League for Women's Ser
vice and chairman of the Navy League
unit, she is developing these organi-
cations to the highest degree of efi-
cheney. With her daughter, Miss Louise
