\ New Song.

The drink trade is singing a very
different tune Of late. II now appears
that they use very little grain. mostly
ice-screeniHgs." etc. We challenge
anyone To find any mention OF rice
screenings. rotten corn, spoited grits
etc, in their propa ganda literature OF
last year. Formerly they boosted that
they consumed more farm products
than were produced by the states of
Louisiana. New Hampshire and Utah
or Vermont Maryland and West Vir-
GINA. Now we are amazed TO gather
the impression from their letters to
congressman that all the grain they
use woula not furnish good meal
for sick kitten on a rainy day.

very nicely arranged as a Halloween

and even the, ghost was there-a
number of the young "uns' saw it.
Old fashioned games were enjoyed

BEET TOPS A
VALUABLE FEED
Beet Top Silsge Almost Equal 70
Corn Silags-HoW Tops Are
Sliced

With feed prices three times what
they were ten years ago, more care
should be taken OF beet tops. An
acre of beet will produce from 4 to 8
tons of tops. In test made at the
Colorado Experiment Station some
years ago, beet tops made into
silage without the addition of straw
showed a value for feeding dairy
cows almost equal to corn silage.
which is usually considered worth
S. to 81 q ton. The beet top silage
was a dark, coffee color and was not
eaten as readily as the corn silage
but seemed to give as good returns
for feed consumed A number Of
feeders made beet top silage last
year and obtained excellent results
from feeding the silage to steers.
The easiest way to make this silage
is in a trench silo 6 to feet wide,
6 to feet deep, and as long as may
be necessary. The ends are sloped
so that wagons can drive in. over
the tops. thus packing them down.
Alternate layers of straw may be
put between layers of tops. Straw
takes up some OF the moisture from
the tops, thus improving both feeds.
When the trench is full it is cover
ed with straw and earth. The sill
age is cut out with hay knife and
taken out from the end-Chas. /.

object of the lunch was to provide
an adequate hot lunch at minimum
