Although this practice has not been
extensively followed, the results that
have been reported seem satisfactory.
Fed in Moderate Amounts.
In an investigation conducted by
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, which includ-
ed a study of nearly 500 stock farms
in the corn belt states, it was found
that silage is an excellent feed for
breeding animals, but that from the
standpoint of economy it ordinarily
should be fed only in moderate amounts
and that it should not replace TOO much
of the cheap roughage. One hundred
Of the farms Tor nearly One-ffth Of
those under consideration were feed
ing silage, and their average winter
feed bill was SIC per head. On 90 Of
these farms approximately u per cent
of the ration was silage, an average of
three-fOurths of a ton being fed to the
COW. AS Al per cent of the feed was
made up Of cheap roughage, the silage
displaced only fodder and the more
expensive hay and grains. The aver
age cost of wintering the COWS on these
farms was $14. The average quantity
of silAge fed on the next 80 farms was
Is tons, nearly one-third of the ration
being made up of this feed. Although
the COWS on these farms received 100
feed units less feed, their winter-feed
bill was 1883. In the next group,
81 farms,s silage constituted one-half
of the ration, the COWS receiving an
average Of 2.75 ton each. AS only one
fourth of this ration was composed Of
the cheaper roughage, the average
feed bill for these cows was SIT al
though they received 400 feed units less
than did the COWS in the first group.
1t is evident that on the farms in this
third group silage was replacing too
largely the cheaper farm by-products.

HARRY
LADDERS
Speech

The Chicago Tribune says that the
following speech by the great singer,
Harry Lauder, in that city reused his
audience to the highest enthusiasm.
Think of the helHshness that would
conceive the use Of a fountain pen
as Lauder relates it. Here is the
speech:
Il tell you," said Mr. Lauder, that
every German mother has raised her
son with no other purpose in view
than for them to come and invade
your country and stif1e your govern
ment and take your land.

ers are cemented together, as they
most surely are, for no other purpose
than destruction and the invention of
everything that is hellish, it is time,
for Gods sake, it is time that the Eng
lish speaking races are cemented to-
gether to uphold everything that is
good and hopeful.
God says we must love our enc
mics. But don't believe that God ex-
poets US to love His enemies. And
from what I know, the Germans ARE
His enemies. l saw a youth in a base
hospital, his face swathed in band
ages. l asked him what the matter
was. He told me that in exploring an
abandoned German trench he had
found q fountain pen. He took it for
a souvenir. Two days later in a Y.
VI. c. 4. hut he had started to write
letter home with it. 1t exploded and
blew half his face off.
while I was going through a de-
wasted town, from which the Ger
mans had been driven, my coat caught
on a spike protruding from door. [
asked the officer with me why he did
not knock the spike off. EO' no. We
don't do that any more he told me.
We knocked one spike of this kind off.

"The Huns show no mercy They
showed me no mercy. And they can
expect none from me- The world will
not be a safe place to live in until the
millions of the autocracy OF Prussian-
ism are scattered-it will be a safe
place to live in only when this system
of frightfulness is utterly destroyed.
And so we must cement ourselves
together as solid as the rock of ages.
We must all become shareholders in
the bank of humanity. The last words
my son told me before he died were:

to do"

To SAVE WIS.,
CONSIN WAR
HISTORY

Madison, Wis.-"Save Wisconsin's
war history" is the slogan of the War
History Commission recently appoint
ed by Magnus SWenson, chairman of
the State Council of Defense. The
commission consists of M. M Quaife,
of Madison; J. H. A. Lacher, Of Wau-
kesha; William w. Bartlett, of Eau
Claire; A. H. Sanford, of Lacrosse,
w. N. Parker, of Madison; Capt H. A.
Whipple, Of Waterloo; and Carl Rus
sell Fish, of Madison John w. Oliver
of Madison has been named director
of the commission.
The State Historical Society now
has in its possessions upwards of 49,
600 letters written by Wisconsin sol
diers during the days of the Civil War
and they comprise the richest histor-
zeal material for that periods that can
be found in America. A larger col
lection of documents is expected to
come from the states participation in
mittees are being appointed in every
county in Wisconsin to collect and pre-
serve every record relating to that
particular community's activity in the
Great War. The name of every man
who enters the service, his war rec
ord, photograph, the letters he writes
home, and the items from the local
newspapers concerning the wGr will
comprise the chief material to be col
lected. From these records the final
history of Wisconsin's part in the
great struggle will be written, and it
is hoped that they may be as complete
as possible in order that the true story
may be told to later generations.

Long Wool Breeds.
Bred chiefly for mutton, the long

They have been developed for level
lands where feed can be obtained with

PROTECT
YOUR GARDEN
FROM FROST

Because Of the urgent necessity for
increasing in every way possible the
available food supply the home garden
Is this year an economic factor of I'M
usual Importance. Realizing this the
Weather Bureau is prepared to do its
bit by sending broadcast to all who
can use them warnings of expected
frost. The warnings will be sent out
by telegraph, telephone and mail. and
through the medium of the papers.
1t is realized that the best way to
reach the public is through the press.
Most of the papers of the Country ex-
pect to make a special feature of frost
warnings this spring, and the Home
Gardeners are urged to watch the
daily papers for these warnings.
In some of the large fruit and gard
ening districts elaborate systems of
frost protection are in use. but be-
cause of their cost those systems are
not adapted to the needs of the home
gardener. A garden of average size
may be protected in a simple and in
expensive manner. Unless the frost
is severe a light covering of almost
any material, such as hay or straw.
IS sufficient. Stable manure is ex-
cellent, as it generates heat by its
own decomposition. If the wind is
light smudge fires of damp straw or
manure are effective. When the gard

wheat flour purchases beyond 20 per
cent. of the average monthly amount

Many thousand families throughout

the American people who are able TO
cook in their own households cannot
suhsist perfectly we'll with the use of
less wheat products than one and one

ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able

which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis

Of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask

an old comforter or two are all that
is needed. Buckets or tubs of water
placed at intervals in the garden will
help. Because of air drainage frost
forms first in the Iowlands, and when
ever possible gardens should be plant
ed on the hillsides rather than in the
valleys. Frost warnings are telegraph
ed to large number of telephone ex-
changes in Wisconsin, and it is sug-
gested that rural subscribers get in
touch with these exchanges and ar
range to receive the warnings.

IMPORTANCE OF LIVE STOCK
Farmers to Return Plant Food
to the Soil.

An important function Of live stock
on the farm is to furnish a market for
the crops grown, enabling farmers to
convert the grasses, forage crops, le-
gumes, and so on, into high-prieed fin
ished products and to return to the soil
the plant food taken from it.
