HEARTENING THE KAISER
"HOLDING UP HIS HANDS"

Without qualification of any sort, in
unmeasured terms of apprehension, in
different alike to titled consequence
and to subordinate degree, to epaulet
or bar, the Oregon senator compre
hended the entire government of the
United States. in all its branches and
bureaus, in an accusation of utter inn
poteIcy The military establishment
he said, was a myth-it was non ex
istent. That's what Reventlow and
Tirpitz had been teaching. That s
the doctrine with which the scornful
masters of the German people had
been solacing lheir discomfort and
quieting their fears of disaster
How obliged to Mr.. Chamberlain and
his kindred spirits will the kaiser and
his kindred spirits be for thus publicly
confirming their dontemptuous esti-
mate of American willingness and
American capacity to fight for Ameri-
can freedom. Every soldier in the
German trenches will read the amaz-
ing Indictment; every peasant in the
land will know that, speaking from a
high and responsible place, charged
with intimate knowledge and not in
considerable power. this Oregon SEN
ator openly proclaimed a shameful
breakdown Of this nation in war. BY
this speech the declining morale of
German citizen and soldier will be re-
trieyed their courage to hold fast and
fight on will be inspired; their re-
solve to dictate terms on a victorious
field will be renewed; the struggle
may thus be long protracted Who
cannot foretell the sequel to this?
Thousands of American boys who
might have escaped may be manned
in battle; other thousands who might
have survived may find their last rest
ing place in the plains OF Flanders or
on the heights of the Argonne. Yet
these mad soothsayers of evil. with
dramatic JUNCTION, imagine that they
are acquitted of bloodguiltiness!-

Chamberlain's Amazing New York
Speech.

MODERN METHODS OF FARMING
Benefits From Use of siIos
(By John L. Edwards)


We have been feeding cattle about
twenty years on velvet beans, and
frequently the crop is destroyed by
the caterpillar, or damaged severely
by the early frost. In 1915 we decided
we could not any longer depend en-
tirely on the beans to fatten our
steers. | had been reading in the
stock journals about the success of
the silo in other states, and I induced
my brother to let us build two silos on
our farm near OcaIa, and the youngest
brother, L. K Edwards, built one on
his farm near Fairfield, in this county.
These silos were built of wood
slaves, because we own an interest
in a sawmill, and it was cheaper for
US to experiment in this way than to
build Of concrete or tile. We bought
machinery to harvest the crop and
blow it into the silos, which cost us
about eight hundred dollars in addi-
ton to the cost Of the two silos on
the Ocala farm, which was four hun
dred and fifty dollars for the two of
100 tons capacity each.
These silos were filed with corn
and sorghum. The results from feed,
ing the cattle were so satisfactory
that we built four moreof $50 tons
each in 1916 and 1917. This gives us
capacity for 500 tons of ensilage on
this farm. l.. X. Edwards was so well
pleased with his experiment that be
built two more silos of $50 tons each
on his farm near Fairfield, which
gives him a capacity of about 400
tons.
! do not know how long these wood
silos will last, because we have not
had ours up long enough TO find out,
but l think they will last from five
to ten years, if they are properly car
ed for by painting them occasionally
We would not attempt TO feed cat
tie now without silos The satisfac-
ton of knowing just what feed you
have, rather than guessing at your
bean fields, is worth a great deal
when you are feeding cattle am
not quite sure just how much ensilage
a steer will eat, but l think 35 or 40
pounds per day with one pound of
cotton seed meal for a 600-pound steer
is ample for the first sixty days. Then
increase the meal gradually until you
get it up to about four pounds per
day for the last thirty days of the
feeding season. | think steers should
be fed for 100 days before they are of
fered for sale, and 120 days would be
better
|he cattle business mas a great fu-
ture in this state With the use OF the
silos to help winter the stock cattle,
we can reduce the loss on the range
to very small percentage. Feed
them about six weeks in the winter.
Then we can improve the grade of
cattle so much by making the young
cattle develop into vigorous. thrifty
animals
The yield per acre of corn and sor-
ghum will vary from FIVE to ten tons,
depending entirely on the fertility OF
the land prefer the corn to the sor-
ghum, but if your land is not suita-
BILE to make corn the sorghum is all

The purpose of the investigators is
not merely to find fault or even to
suggest Improvements. 1t is also to
bring to the public attention the sue

undertakings. This part of their work
