Fed In Moderate Amounts.
In an Investigation conducted by
specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, which includ-
ed study Of nearly 500 stock farms
In the corn belt states, 1t 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 1t should not replace too much
Of the cheap rOughage. One hundred
Of the farms Cor nearly One-fifth Of
those under consideration were feed
ing silage. and their average winter
feed bill was $40 per head. On % Of
these farms approximately IL 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 so farms was
1.8 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 $1653. In the next group.
81 farms. 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.

Last year a corn pest. described by
entomologists Of the United States de-

many parts Of the South. Many corn
growers Of Texas, Georgia. Louisiana,
Arkansas and Alabama reported in

to sustain the grub.
The beetle varies somewhat in size,
according to the entomologists. but
usually measures about One-half inch
In length. 1t is stout, hard-shelled
creature. jet black In color. 1t is
thought to be distributed only in the
Southern states. The damage is done
wholly by the adult and consists in

summary of control measures

1. Eliminate all old pastures or
waste land, especially low. moist areas.
and drain such lands thoroughly.
2. Pasture hogs in waste or pasture
lands that cannot be conveniently
drained and cropped.
3. Plant corn early, say, about April
20. for tidewater Virginia, and earlier
for more sOutherly localities.
4. Give liberal applications of barn.
yard manure or commercial fertilizers
whenever practicable.
8. Employ children or cheap labor
to collect and destroy the beetles when

came associated with the story OF Rob
! insOn CrusOe from the fact that on
that island Alexander Selkirk was put
ashore at his own request after quar-
rel with the captain of the ship Clinque
Ports. of which he was sailing master.
! Selkirk lived on the island for four
years. and in 1712 there appeared q
book entitled Cruising Voyage Round
the World" which was written by
Capt. WOrdes Rogers. who had res
cued Selkirk from the island. Part
~ the adventures of Selkirk were told
in that story. and 1t is supposed that
it was this hint which stirred DefOe's
imagination and led to the writing Of
Robinson CrusOe.
Captain Rogers book. in which the
adventures of Selkirk were told, was
also the inspiration, or rather the text.
of COwper's poem. which is generally
called Solitude" hut which the poet.
! in what was fashion in the eighteenth
century, called "Verses Supposed to Be
Written by Alexander Selkirk During
His Solitary Abode In the Island Of
Juan Fernandez"
A literary man who took up the con-
nectiOn between Selkirk's adventure
and DefOe's story of Robinson CrusOe
has written this:
There was more than enough Of a
nudge for DefOe, for COwper. for
scores of others. But DefOe never got
his hero, Robinson CrusOe. round the
Horn or into the Pacific Mt all; he
started him from England. shipwreck-
ed him in Africa, sent him as planter
to the BraZils'-as he always plural
Lies the neme-and finally blew him
north, shipwrecked again on an island
which DefOe carefully labeled on the
title page Of the first edition as being
at the mouth Of the mighty OrinOcO,'
continent and parts of two oceans
removed from Juan Fernandez"
The Island Of TabagO in the Carib-
bean archipelago was mentioned by
one writer as the island of CrusOe. but
TabagO. north of the Trinidad. is too
far from the mouth of OrinOco to
agree with what CrusOe says Of the
location of his island. Louis Rhead,
in a preface to one edition of Robin
son CrusOe wrote: "a map has been
prepared to show the real location.
which Is Mt the mouth Of the OrinOco.
thirty miles northwest of Trinidad. an
island lying Just in the Caribbean
archipelago. The island Is now known
as TabagO."
A good many distinguished writers
have mistaken the Island of Juan Fer.
nandez for the island Of Robinson Cru
soc. and among them was r. II. Dana.
ir., who. In his 1.-Two Years Before the
Mast" wrote that he saw the Island
Of Juan Fernandez rising like a deep
blue cloud out Of the sea" when his
brig, the Pilgrim. was seventy miles
away. After the briggs stop ut the
island Mr.. Dana wrote: 81 gave 1t a
parting look and bid farewell to the
most romantic spot Of earth my eyes
had ever seen because Of the assOci-
atoms which every one has connected
with 1t in their childhood from reading
Robinson CrusOe."

Expensive Feed.
Silage, because of the grain that It
contains and because of the expense Of
putting 1t up, is a relatively expensive
feed; consequently in localities where
large amounts Of cheap. rough feeds
are available the silO may not always
prove economical. However. when
such rOughage is scarce and high
priced the feeding of Silage usually
will pay. This would be especially
true If. instead of cutting their high
