THE sILo, SYSTEM OF FEEDING.

Something Of the magnitude of the
silo system of feeding is revealed in
its 40 years development in the
United States. During this period
about 100000 silos have been built,
annually requiring the crops of ten
million acres to fill them, storing 120,-
100000 tons of nutritious stock food
feeding 4O,O00,O0O of dairy and beef
cattle on 40pound rations for $50
days, cheaper and at larger net profit
than can be done in any other way
The investment involved annually is
five and one-half billion dollars, with
the farmers profit reaching nearly
one and one-fourth billion follars.
From this colossal industry has
grown fund of technical knowledge
system of management, and a prac.
tica, science of economical silage feed
ing of great instructive value, and
proof that the silo is the soundest and
safest business proposition the stock
and dairy farmer has today.
Each of several phases of the sub
ject is too large and important for
thorough treatment even in the 'egu-
lation lecture hour. For instance, the
purpose of the silo is economy in its
broadcast and most searching applica-
tions. The silo was not primarily for
the storage of grain, for which we
have the crib and the elevator. 1t is
to save food grown, but now wasted,
and to get the benefit of new food
values from raw stover by curing
processes. The silo will reduce pas
turage and get more abundant and
better food from fewer acres. No
matter what given dry feeding sys-
TEN is, tho silo will economize it.
Then there are the crops for silcing.
Corn, the maizes and legnmes of al
most any kind in which proper fer
mentation is obtained, will make sill
age in quantities ranging from 20 to
80 tons per acre 1.-TWO seasons). For
age crops are easily grown, require
less labor and money than other crops,
and silage is suitable. and safe for all
kinds of farm animals;
There is also the manufacturing and
preserving process, which starts with
the proper stage-of maturity at which
the stover should be harvested, and
includes the method of cutting the
restoration of moisture equivalent to
tae heaviest weight at the milk
stage, and, perfect packing
The making and preserving of sill
age is purely chemical action and
i.quires certain receptacle conditions
which include perfectly smooth.
round, perpendicular air and water
tight wall Perfection in each of
these points is absolutely a scientific
necessity. l~
Soil renovation and fertility, bal
ancfd ration, food insurance, etc., are
imaortsnt divisions of the subject.
The dairy and stock farmer may
say, Il know all of this" Yes; but
those without silos, don't believe it or
they, wouls have silos to full growing
and feeding capacity.

President Wilson has been subject
ed to severe criticism by Senator Hi
ram johnson of California. on account
of the presidents alleged surrender of
his declared principles in the matter
of Japans claims to Chinese territory.
The facts apparently are that Mr..
Wilson and the representatives of
England. France and Italy as we'll
were in a position that did not admit
OF their doing otherwise than as they
did. Japan is in possession of kiao
Chau and the Shan Tung Npeninsula
and intends to keep them either with
or without the consent of the other
powers. In order to put a harmonious
front before the world. therefore, it
was necessary to permit Japan to
have her way. And in order that the
Big Three might save their faces 1t
was stipulated that Japan shall return
the occupied territory to China at an
indefinite future time. The probable
ity is that the territory will return to
China when she has become strong
enough to take it by force and not a
day earlier. For England. France and
America to compel restitution at this
time would require another war. OF
this Japan has no fear under existing
conditions

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.


Inc 3Cttcr fdFI-l.
Thu story of Martha and Mary in
the Bible is eternally symbolic of the
life of the average woman. Martha
must keep the home fires burning in
every household. She must see that
the floor is swept, the dinner cooked.
the children's clothes clean and whole.
And Mary must keep alight the
lamp on the altar of the soul of the
household. She must concern herself
with the finer things of life. She
must read and think and cherish the
ideals of the beautiful. She must ere
ate an atmosphere of peace and rest.
She must fit herself to be companion
to husband and children.
To run a properly conducted house
hold on schedule lines, requires the
services of both Martha and Mary.
Monogamy. however, restricts man
to one wife. He does not have do
nestle Martha in the kitchen and aes-
thetic Mary in the paPlor, but one
poor wife who attempts to unite all
the various different feminine virtues
in her one small person.
And it is when a woman tries the
Martha-M Mary stunt that she commits
suicide and lands in an early grave;
or she becomes a nervous wreck and
her family by her peevishness, her
nagging and her whines and COM
plants.
Perhaps there is, here and there, a
woman of exceptionally robust ply
sique and supernatural executive abil|
ity who can capably fill the dual role
| of Martha and Mary, who can cook
and sew and scrub and wash with one
hand and vamp their husbands and
chum with their children with the
other, so to spak. but these female
prodigies are as rare as hens teeth.
The ordinary woman can make an
excellent domestic servant, or she can
make satisfa Glory parlor entertainer,
but when it comes to being both. at
the same time, she bungles each job.
Therefore it is up to her to decide
| which part she will understudy-that
of Martha or Mary, seeing she is no
! lightning change artist who can make
| a quick transition from one to the
other.
Curiously enough, most women de-
| eide in favor of Martha. Perhaps this
lis because the traditional way to hold
a husband is to feed the brute. Per-
| haps the material, being more obvi-
Gus than the spiritual. seems of more
| importance in our eyes. Anyway,
the average woman feels that her first
| duty to her family is to make it phys
| ically comfortable.
Therefore you will see woman
make burnt offering of herself over
| the kitchen stove cooking elabora tie
meals altho she knows by doing so
| she will reduce herself to a nervous
:yreck that is unfit for any human
| consumption.
Or she will sweep, scrub, dust and
polish to make her house immaculate
| altho the inevitable result is to bring
on a ''spell' that sends her to her
couch to spend the evening moaning
| over her poor back.
Or she will sew, in order that
Mamie may have more ruffles on her
frock than any other little girl in her
| set. until she grows so nervous that
| she snaps Mamie's head off every time
| Mamie speaks to her.

REVIVAL OF BUILDING.

The feeling of uncertainty is grad
ually being dispelled, says Building
Age. With labor steadily becoming
more abundant. builders who were
holding aloof more because of the la
Dor situation than because of high
prices, are going ahead. That the ex-
pected boom is under way is borne
out by the fact that contracts let dur
ing March were greater than any year
since 1911. except 1917. when urgent
government requirements made the
record abnormal.
Government encoura cement, the
Gown Your own Home" movement,
high rents, war wage savings of the
ness, constitute factors which are
pushing construction. The crisis is
past, says the Age. From now on the
building trades and material manufac-
turers should gradually enter upon an
era of prosperity that may even sur
pass the hopes of the most optimistic
