THE UNION DRY GOODS COMPANY
Magnesite Industry in 1918.

Steel makers use large quantities of
magnesite brick and granular magnesite
to line their furnaces, and magnesite Is
used also as cement for sanitary floors,
as stucco or plaster for exterior and in
terror walls, and as a non-conductor of
heat in pipe and furnace coverings. In
these days of large production of steel
| it is fortunate that we have an album
dance of magnesite and are not depen-
dent ON a European supply.
! According to r. w. Stone of the Unit
ed States geological survey, department
of the interior, the production of magne
site in the six months ending June 80,
| 1918, was about $4,000 short tons, of
which California produced more than
one half. According to the best figures
available, the California output was
about AZ 600 tons of crude magnesite and
the Washington output was 46,l00 tons.
Only two companies were producing in
Washington. and one of these stopped
quarrying from February to May in or
der to enlarge its calcining plant and
develop the deposit. The rate of produc-
| ton in California is about so per cent
less than in 1917, and the rate in Wash
/ ington is about SIS per cent of that of
I last year. The output of California in
the second half of 1918 will probably be
no larger than in the first half, bat that
| of Washington may be much larger, for
development has now reached stage
where rock can be quarried, caleined and
| shipped at an increased rate. The produe-
| ton for the entire year may be about
| 225,000 tons, as against $4,000 tons in
1917.
The increased freight rate and the i'm
portation of magnesite from Canada have
greatly reduced the demand for Califor
MIA magneste for use as a refractory
material, so that all the small and some
of the large producers have stopped
work, and the others are operating with
reduced force.
Some manufacturers of refractory
products in the eastern states who used
large quantities of California and Wash
ington magnesite in 1917 are now using
considerable quantity of Canadian mag
nestle instead of the more expensive do
nestle material The Canadian magne-
site, which comes from Granville, Que,
ic crystalline. but it carries a high per
centage of lime. Extensive masses of
Canadian magnesite average from seven
to 10 per cent of lime 1t can be delivered
by boat to Buffalo, Cleveland and Chi
cago at much lower cost than magnesite
can be brought from California and
Washington, and is being substituted for
the higher grade domestic material. In
1917 we imported 2,l4S tons of Canadian
calcined magnesite, and in the first five
months of 1918 we imported $500 tons.
The imports of calcined magnesite from
Canada in April, 1918, were more than
the total imports from Canada in 1917,
and the imports in May nearly equalled
those of the previous year.
In the summer of 1917 Mr.. Stone Wis
tied the magnesite field in Washington
and many of the fields in California and
collected samples for analyses. of the
20 samples analysed, "a were crude mag
nestle and five were caleined.

The SilO is the Flour
Barrell of the Herd

"The silo is ESSENTIALLY an immense
barrel into which grain feed, like corr
is put, to be used later as feed for
livestock" says Prof. R. NJ. Washburn,
of the University of Minnesota. at
has been known and used for thous-
ands of years, but the knowledge of the
underlying principles of its construc-
ton, and the machinery necessary for
its filling, needed to make it really
practical, have not been possessed un-
til within the last decade ir two. Dur
ing the past twenty years, and espe-
clally the last ten years, the number
of silos has multiulied enormously.
Very few who have used them would
be without them. Those people who
do not believe in the s;lo are usually
the people who have had no recent
experience with them.
1.-THE writer, few years ago ccn-
vlnced farmer we'll past middle life,
VINO had been reasonable successful
all his life in the farm, that he would
be more successful in his livestock
work if he had silo. He built. and
after one years work was asked what
ne thought of it. His reply summa-
rlzer the case well. He said:
My cows never MIXED so freely
throughout the entire winter as thew
have this year. Thy lived 50 largely
upon silage that have several tons Of
hay to sell, which had expected to
have to feed ii them, and would have
fed them under former conditions:
and lastly, the cows came out in th..
spring in such good condition that
they shed their hair early, and went
on to grass prepared to make full u.e
OF it. l am convinced that the silo
has paid for itself this first vea,n

Last Saturday Dave Lounsberry

the flu had left him SO weak until he

has just recovered from . severe siege
of influenza. Her many friends here
are sorry to lose her from the neigh
borhood, but join in wishing her q
safe journey and happiness in her
new home.
Some Of our citizens know they
have had the flu, some "think mebbe''
they have had it. However, we will
venture the opinion that after they
have been in bed with a raging fe-
yer and with nothing to cat for about
a week after they have gotten up
and have been too weak to do any
thing for almost another week, and
still left in weakened, nervous con-
dition, there will be no doubt in their
mind as to whether they have had the
"flu."

Denevr, Colo, Dec. 4, Specially Be-
cause of the very great interest mani
tested in silage by many of the farm
ers of Colorado, the state council of de-
Tense. desiring to bel Of what service
it may. has issued a strong resolution
in which the efforts Of the farmers
in building silos, and thus preserving
crops that would otherwise go to
waste. are highly commended.
While the state concil appreciates
the splendid work done by the farmers
which vastly aided in war work, it
does not desire to assume any dicta-
torial attitude but is very anxious
to hep the farmers in any way pos
sible. 1t is an established fact that
because of the numerous silos employ
ed during the past year, that thousands
Of dollars worth of food that is v:.lu-
able to the farmer in raising his stock
was conserved.
1t is essential that the usage of
silage during the construction period,
which is to follow the termination of
the war, be not only kept up but
largely increased. To this end the
council of defense offers its services
and the information and advice Of
some if the best experienced agricul-
tural experts in he st: t. and for in
formation the farmers of this district
are invited to conc 1t either the local
chairman of the corntv council of de.
tense. county agricultural agent, or
