Farm Bureau Places As Men

The farm bureau manager devoted
nearly all his time the past week to
the labor situation which appeared
quite serious for a time but which
now seems to be less critical. "A num-
Der of transients have come into Nor
ris who have been placed on farms.
Forty-five men were placed through
the efforts of the farm bureau man
ager. In many cases farmers have
decided to do the work themselves
due to the high wages and the fear
of labor shortage. Women are be-
ing trained to run the binders thus
relieving the men for shocking. So
far it has not been necessary to call
on the business men for help

SAVES $37 AN ACRE
ON A 5O-BUSHEL CROP
Silo Saves Slower Left in Field
in Many Sections Loss in
Silo Very Slight

! At least 81 per cent of the digesti-
BILE material of the corn plant is left
in the slower when the ears only are
used. When corn is ensiled this 81
per cent goes into the silo with the
SO per cent in the ear. The i'm
portance of this saving will be more
apparent when given money value.
With a yield of SO bushels an acre
the value of grain is SIS, at $3.50 a
bushel. Since the slower contains
more than one third of the food nu-
trients, it is worth at least one half
as much as the grain, or $3.50. How
many farmers will willingly leave in
the field $3.50 an acre? Yet this
is done in many sections of the coun-
try where the corn is husked and the
slower left in the field.
HOW CORN IN SHOCK LOSES
But suppose the dry slower is fed
as roughage. Even then it is not
saved as completely as in silage.
When, under ordinary farm condi-
tions, corn is cured in the shock, the
loss of dry matter is approximately
25 per cent and may be as high as
As per cent. These losses are due
to the breaking off of leaves by the
wind and in handling, and to de-
structive lamentations. The loss of
dry matter in the silo is very slight
when the silo is tight and the silage
well packed at the time of filling.
AS Stage, the cornstalk is all con-
sumed, but as slower, unless it is
shredded, only the leaves are eaten,
and even then great part Of the
stalk is discarded. Some feeding ex-
periments show that even in shred
ded slower the portion discarded is
as high as 81 per cent This is in
addition to the loss of dry matter
during the curing process.
MAKE SILAGE OF IMMATURE
CROP
Too frequently an unfavorable sea-
son like that of last year results in
the loss of the whole corn plant or in
immature soft corn that is of little
value. By far the best method to
utilize corn which is Immature at
harvesting time is to put it into the
silo. Even frosted corn will make
satisfactory silage if harvested at
once. If it becomes dry 1t may be
saved by adding water during the
filling process.
The making of as much silage as
can be used will do much to conserve
the feed supply. Have you planned
to fill that silo?

FARMERS AGREE ON
THRESH SCHEDULE
Will Stack Grain and Buy Their Own
Rigs Rather Than Pay Above
Agreed Price

Pursuant to the call which was
published in The Tribune last week,
the farmers of Darnen, Horton,
Hodges and Morris met at the Darnen
schoolhouse last Sunday, and adopted
a schedule of prices to be paid for
threshing. The following full report
of the meeting is given by the secre-
tary:-
A meeting of the farmers of the
townships of Darnen, Horton, Hodges
and Morris was held last Sunday af-
ternoon for the purpose of agreeing
on the price that farmers of this To-
cality should pay for threshing this
fall. Mike Mahoney was elected
chairman of the meeting and Maurice
Calvin secretary. There were about
rs farmers present and after talking
the matter over for some time it was
decided that they should not pay
more than 6 cents per bushel for
wheat, 4 cents for barley, cents
for oats, and 10 cents for flax 1t was
agreed that if threshers would not
consent to do the work at these
figures that the farmers would stack
their grain and form companies and
get their own rigs to do the thresh-
ing. Their were two threshers at the
meeting and one of them offered to
do the work for dozen farmers at
the price agreed on at the meeting,
if they would assure him he could get
the same run for period of four or
five years. A similar offer was given
by party who was not present at
the meeting.
The figures agreed on were for the
threshers to burn coal and pay for
it.

BEGIN TO PLAN NOW
FOR SELECTING SEED
Thing at Present is to
Make Plans for Storing Seed
Corn

County Agent Nash is already
taking the matter of seed corn for
next year up with the farmers and
he says it is time now to begin to
make plans for the selecting and
storing of good seed. He further
says:
ANY farmer who has experienced
the shortage OF good seed corn the
past spring realizes the need of
great care in selecting and saving
seed corn this fall, especially if
they take into consideration the
fact that there is practically no re-
serve supply of seed corn. The i'm
portant thing now is to provide facili-
ties for storing the corn so that no
time for such work will have to be
taken at seed corn selecting time.
1--WE should not only select enough
for next year but also for the year
following SO as be sure of a reserve
supply. One of the best devices, where
there is plenty of storage room, is
the double Irvine method, with which
e@AA OIL lctlullAdl AC SCCu COIu Tree
is also a way of storing the ears.
1t is made by using round cedar
post having a base nailed on and
driving into the post, rows of case
nails. One post will accommodate
about ESQ ears Of corn. A rack made
with two inch mesh poultry netting
nailed on each side of, a 2 by A
frame, so that meshes are opposite
is also convenient and requires small
space.
"A simple but very satisfactory
device is the seed corn rack made
of two by As on each side of which
are nailed lath placed opposite Of
each other and far enough apart to
place ears between. A short board
can be nailed at the bottom of each
by 4 to serve as a support. Such
rack feet high will hold 500 ears
or five bushels of corn 1t is also
a very convenient device to use in
treating seed corn.

Silo Facts for Farmers

Every farmer who is user of the
silo is booster for the si1o.
In the silo you can store corn in a
form in which practically every par
tic1e can be eaten.
Silage gives the, effect of pasturage
in winter; it is both palatable and
succu1ent.
Silage aids digestion in the dry
feeding season.
Animals fed silage are not more
subject to tuberculosis, do not lose
their teeth more quickly, and are not
shorter-lived than animals fed other

Tree That Wouldn't Die,

One of the giant redwoods in Men
docino county, California, has shown
that in spite Of its combined foes, the
wind and the forest fire, it has made
up its mind to keep right on living in
the same spot where 1t has stood for
dozens Of years. During a terrible
storm on the mountain the top of this
big tree was broken off, and later the
trunk was nearly destroyed by a for
est fire; yet enough vitality remained
for n young tree to rise from the roots
of the older one and to grow up within
the wide trunk which serves as a pro-
lection against the wind. The original
tree was a magnificent specimen more
than IL feet in diameter, towering high
in the air, and its youthful successor
should be of goodly size when the old
stump is ready to fall away.-St.

THE ELEPHANTS.
~ MARY GRAHAN BONNER

"Mr. Jock Elephant was a very
smart animal" commenced Daddy.
"He had a fine memory as most Of
the Mr.. Elephants have and was real
ly a good deal brighter than Mrs.
Jock Elephant.
"They had two fine children, one was
boy elephant named Ted and the
other a girl elephant, only two months
old, named Tillie.
"Now Mrs. Jock Elephant had been
very cross for q whole month after Til
lie had been born. She had been so
afraid something would happen to her
beautiful elephant baby that she was
angry with everyone else who spoke
to her and who took her attention
away from her baby.
"Mr. Jock Elephant remembered that
Mrs. Jock behaved the same way for
a month after Ted had been born. She
was so Jealous and so careful Of her
babies; she loved them so much that
no harm must come to them. And for
whole month there was always dam
ger. After that they were stronger
and better able to look after them
selves.
"Mrs. Jock Elephants home was I'm
the zoo and the keeper took excellent
care of her and of her family. But
still she behaved just as she would
have acted if she had been out in the
jungles where she would have guarded
her baby so carefully. The keeper
knew this and understood how she felt
so he was kinder to her than ever.
"But the time was past for Mrs.
Jock to be cross, and once more she
was very pleasant. They had a fine
meal one day of water and hay which
they like above everything else and to
show how much they appreciated it,
they began doing their tricks for the
keeper.
''NOt only did the keeper watch
them, but many children who were in
the elephant house and who saw that
the elephants were about to perform,
came over and watched them. Mr..
and Mrs. Jock Elephant had many fine
tricks. Ted had learned q number of

Of things in his elephant school and
Ted was going up to a higher class
every day.
"The elephant school is the school
the keeper started in which he taught
the elephants to do tricks, for it would
be of little use to the elephants if they
were taught to do sums and to write
and read. No one can quite think of
an elephant sitting up with a pair of
glasses before his eyes and trying to
hold q book before him with the aid
of his trunk.
Besides very few books would in
terest the elephants if they could read
except books on hay, and there aren't
many written on that subject.

they have school for the different
kinds of animals and they have les
their lessons well they wouldn't be able
to give such fine performances.
'Mr. and Mrs. Jock were looking
| forward to the summer when they
would take real baths instead of the
oil ones the keeper had given them
through the winter to keep their skin
from cracking.
Zone Of Jocks best tricks was the
way he could catch pennies which We're
thrown to him. He put them in lit
tie bank in his cage and every time he
did this he rang bell which the keep
er gave him. And when he is given
peanuts he is very wise, for he takes
as many as he can get ard holds them
in his trunk If he hasn't time to eat
them all.
"He had his toe nails cut the other
day, for when an elephant is in the
jungle he keeps his nails in good con-
dition by going over rough ground.
They find plenty of oil in the marshes
for their skin, and they harden their
feet by rough stones, which the keeper
| tries to take the place of with sand
paper.
when they drink they use their
mouths, which of course Is what all
sensible folks and animals do-in fact
believe everyone drinks that way.
But then, you see, elephants have long
trunks and we often wonder just how
they can manage.
'They throw their trunks over their
heads when they drink. OF course
they get their food TO their mouths by
the help of their trunks.

going to see Mr.. and Mrs. Jock and
their two children in the zoo. so I've
